And just as this part of the army was moving, a gray shadow seemed to be visible in the distance.

"It's only half...... Less than expected. ”

Looking at the skeletons in action, Artoria's face sank a little.

"Report! The magic cannons are all ready! ”

At this time, the captain in charge of guarding the city wall ran over and reported to Artoria.

Hearing this, Zhou Yao couldn't help but look over, only to see that the long barrel-shaped cannons were already in place, lined up in long rows, and aimed the muzzles of the cannons at the front.

Next to each Magic Cannon is two operators, one for reloading and the other for calibration.

"yes, I see." Artoria nodded lightly and let the captain leave.

"It's actually a live cannon, is it powerful enough?"

Seeing the captain leave, Zhou Yao asked.

In his impression, it was still the beam cannon that was more lethal than the live ammunition gun.

swept a large area of dead and wounded at the ground.

"No way, in terms of firepower, only these magic cannons are the most suitable. In order to increase the lethality, it took a day and a night to deliberately engrave a special purification spell on the shells. Artoria said with a sigh.

"What about the defenses, the walls and the air." Zhou Yao continued to ask.

If you look at the caliber of the magic cannon, you can see that the power of the cannonball is very limited, even if it is large.

Perhaps adding a purification spell dedicated to the undead is the best option right now.

But in the face of the crowd of skeletons, it will still seem a little powerless.

Whether it can be held depends on the defense mechanism of the British University.

Fortunately, Britain is located on the edge of the Old Continent, and the steel behind it has a large difference in height to form a natural cliff, and at the same time, the sides are also partially protected.

The area that needed to be defended was cut in half all at once.

"The walls themselves are impossible for the undead to destroy. Even if the golden pickup himself comes. As long as I'm here, it's all right. Artoria said first, her tone full of confidence.

Although she didn't take advantage of Gilgamesh during the battle in the hall at that time, it was also because she didn't use her trump card.

"I can't guarantee zero chance of being hacked, though. I can't use high-powered attacks on this, otherwise I'll do damage to the wall. ”

Then his tone changed, and his face showed a hint of concern.

"As for the anti-air, it has the protection of the Great Barrier. But the defense can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Then Artoria continued.

"Then we can only pray that there aren't many flying classes on the other side." Zhou Yao was also helpless.

With the size of the University of Britain, if the sky above it is not safe, it will already be considered to have fallen halfway.

"Judging from the current reconnaissance results, it seems that there are no flying units on the opposite side. But just in case, the defense in the city can't be slackened by half a point. Artoria said with a sigh of relief.

"So it's not that bad." Zhou Yao concluded.

"That depends on the situation at the time of the war...... You shouldn't have been impulsive at that time. ”

As she spoke, Artoria looked remorseful.

"It's already in the past, even if you regret it, you can't help it." Zhou Yao comforted.

Woo——!

A dull horn sounded, indicating that the opposite side was about to attack.

Then a roaring vibration came from the ground. It was the march of the undead.

Even though it's still a long way off, it's still audible.

"It's time for Redolle to go."

Artoria looked at the army of the undead rushing across and said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yao immediately asked.

"I will let Redol launch a surprise attack with mobile cavalry, on the one hand, to destroy the formation and delay time, and on the other hand, to find the superior undead who gave orders."

"Superior undead?" For the first time, Zhou Yao heard that the undead were also graded.

"The lower undead only have instincts, the upper undead have intelligence, and the highest undead have human form and intelligence."

Seeing that Zhou Yao didn't know about this matter, Artoria simply explained. Then turn around and leave.

"If it's delaying, why don't you let me do it. If it goes well, you may not even need a magic cannon. Zhou Yao called out to Artoria and said.

"What can you do? No, no, no. Even if you really have the means, I can't let you do such a dangerous thing alone. ”

Artoria subconsciously asked, and immediately reacted and refused.

Although Zhou Yao and the others stayed, they were people who had nothing to do with the University of Britain after all.

With Artoria's character, he categorically would not agree to such a seemingly nonsense move.

But what she didn't expect was that after getting the rejection, Zhou Yao didn't say anything, but jumped directly from the city wall and didn't give her a chance to stay.

Flame Hand!

Dragon Power Phase 2 - Dragonborn!!

Without the slightest hesitation. Zhou Yao immediately opened the second stage of the dragon's power.

After all, it is more than 100 meters in the air, so it is better to be cautious just in case.

Boom!

It's the sound of his free fall.

"It's good that the second stage was opened directly, otherwise it would be a little bad."

Zhou Yao stood up from the falling pit, moved his muscles and muttered to himself.

He has gradually shed his human appearance, the most notable difference being the appearance of crimson dragon scales on the outside of his skin. Although it doesn't cover the whole body, it's still a little scary.

Not only the dragon scales, but also the eyes, hands and other parts have changed, becoming closer to the dragon species.

Such a noticeable change in appearance leads to an even more significant physical enhancement.

Zhou Yao felt that he was almost ready to fight with Elquit hand-to-hand.

But it's just a feeling, if he really wants to fight Elquit, his chances of winning won't be much higher.

Unless the third phase of Dragon Power is activated.

"I think it's better to do less stupid things like this in the future, my master."

Sakiya, who was slowly falling down on the hand of fire, immediately started to question.

Although the hand of Yan can't float with Zhou Yao himself, there is still no big problem in carrying others.

"Ah, I won't jump straight down in the future." Zhou Yao smiled dryly.

"Although there is a reason for this, I want to talk about the fact that you, master, suddenly took on someone else's task alone." Sakiya is expressionless but menacing.

"Well, I'll take that to heart." Forced by Sakuya's momentum, Zhou Yao had no choice but to respond.

Although, as Sakiya said, he took on the task on a sudden whim.

But even if there wasn't such a thing, he would have done it.

Because he wants to give a big gift to the other side.

A big gift called "Amaterasu". (To be continued.) )
