Chapter 298: Under the Artillery Drill

It wasn't until they came to the bullet point and saw the craters all over the ground that people realized that the shells that had just been poured down by the artillery had turned over the entire land of more than a kilometer in the vicinity.

It turned out that some wooden stakes planted on the ground, as well as those stone walls, had long been blown up and did not know where to fly, and wisps of gray smoke were still rising on the ground.

Even on some wooden stakes far away, there were some fragmented shell shells, which were deeply pierced, and even some of the wooden stakes were cut off by shrapnel.

Unless it was a great mage who used defensive magic, whether it was an ordinary soldier or a demon warrior, if he stood within this kilometer, there would never be any chance of survival.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, please return to your original seats, the second artillery exercise project is about to begin. ”

"There's a second project, Lady Peiji, what's the second project?"

"The second item is rapid-fire artillery, Your Majesty the Emperor, please also go and watch. ”

"Okay, then let's go back. Gülen walked ahead and returned to the audience with the ministers.

After everyone was seated, Senior Barry continued to order.

"Heavy artillery ready! No one in front, ten salvos! Ready! Release!"

This time the shot was not just one shell per gun, as was the case just now, but ten heavy guns fired ten times in a row at the same time.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

"Boom Boom ......"

......

The researchers have been trained for several days and have worked very well together, one person is responsible for brushing the barrel after each shell is fired, two people are responsible for loading the shell into the breech, and the other is responsible for pulling the wire.

This time, the effect was much stronger than the previous one, and it was able to fire two cannonballs in about a minute, and the continuous loud noise shook the hearts of the people in the audience a little abnormally.

It was easy to withstand ten volleys, and people were relieved.

Heavy artillery is the most powerful and the loudest of these types of artillery, and even if everyone wears earmuffs, they still have a sore ear.

Below are the shots of light and armor-piercing guns, and it is clear that these two guns are more than twice as fast as heavy guns.

In the end, it was still the shoulder cannon, and in two minutes 500 small shells were discharged by 500 soldiers carrying shoulder cannons, and those shells rained down like drops about a kilometer ahead, leaving people stunned.

Because of the first intuitive observation of the damage caused by artillery, people have been very impressed by this new type of weapon, which is not something that flesh and blood can compete with, even Warcraft.

After firing ten salvos of each type of artillery, no one doubts the effectiveness of the artillery anymore, but there is one last item left, and that is the artillery to work together.

After waiting for a while, and after the barrels of the guns were all cooled, Senior Barry issued the last order for today's artillery exercise.

"All artillery ready! No one ahead, unlimited fire! Ready! Release!"

Suddenly, there were a total of 100 guns of the four types of artillery, and they no longer paid attention to the order of the front and back, nor did they pay attention to the firing time, and the shells were fired out without any regularity.

When a single artillery attack is made, people are surprised, but they are still within the scope of understanding.

But when a hundred cannons are fired at once, the effect is simply a landslide and the ground cracks, from one kilometer away, to three kilometers away, and about one kilometer wide, this hell directly becomes a hell on earth.

Even if it is a great mage of the earth system, it is difficult to say that it can withstand the blow of the cannon unscathed.

The shelling lasted ten minutes, and it stopped when all the shells piled up in the hills behind it were completely fired.

Far away, you can smell the smoke of gunpowder, you don't have to look at the stone walls and wooden stakes, everything has been turned into powder under the attack of artillery shells.

"Awesome!" Although Glenn had seen the first test gun, he didn't expect it to be long. Artillery has already developed to this extent.

Prime Minister Tang En, important ministers, and ministers were already stunned, and looked at the place covered by artillery with their big mouths open.

In fact, not only them, but also the scientific researchers who were used to manipulating the artillery, as well as the three thousand soldiers watching from the other side, did not come back to their senses for a long time.

The friends of the Magic Tower are even more so, they have heard Flandy talk about how the artillery is and how the shelling is going more than once in the Magic Tower, but they have no specific concept.

I didn't know until now when I saw the audition. It's no wonder that Flandy takes artillery so seriously.

Prime Minister Tang En is old, and his body is not as good as before, this burst of hundreds of cannons made him feel a little breathless, and his whole body was shocked to the point of numbness.

"It's really amazing, this is a hundred guns, if it's a thousand guns, what a spectacular scene it should be!"

Listening to Prime Minister Tang En's words, everyone shuddered a little, and they couldn't help but shudder when they imagined the picture of a thousand artillery salvos.

"A thousand cannons firing at one end is almost equivalent to a forbidden spell, the most important thing is a forbidden spell cast by ordinary soldiers! Minister Dean!" Glenn shouted.

"Your Majesty!" Minister Dean was very excited at the moment, these cannons were all cast by the Ministry of Industry, and it was only ten days before they showed such power.

"From now on, the Ministry of Engineering will allocate at least half of its forces to make these artillery, there is no limit to the number, the more the better, if there are any difficulties, I only need artillery, understand?"

"I understand Your Majesty, I will definitely use the greatest strength to make artillery!"

Minister Dean knew in his heart that the military power of the Empire would skyrocket due to the emergence of artillery, and the status of the army would also increase, and all of this would need to be done by him, the Minister of Industry.

There are still three or four months before the demonic beasts will attack the Duk Mahon battlefield in a big way, which is no secret, and everyone who is there knows it.

This artillery drill made everyone's hearts settle down greatly, and they felt that with these artillery, and then there were so many magicians and demon warriors, the threat of Warcraft had been reduced too much.

At the end of the drill, Gülen and his ministers once again inspected the area under attack, and everyone was amazed.

Even the Minister of Agriculture, Aubrey, joked that if you use artillery to plow the land, you may be able to do it faster than those magic tools.

Everyone laughed, indeed, it took only a few minutes to turn over such a large area of land, much faster than the magic-powered agricultural tools developed by the same Brandy.

But a joke is a joke after all, and this is the result of two or three thousand shells, and the price of plowing the land is too great.

In the end, Gülen and his ministers returned to the palace through the portal, and there was still a lot of work to be done in the training ground, and these researchers had to train the 3,000 soldiers on how to operate the artillery.

After a burst of saturated shelling, although none of the 100 guns were blown up, they still needed to be maintained and cleaned, and people were still busy.

There was nothing to do with Frandy, he disarmed the seven black holes in the air, and the space magic seed was withdrawn into his body, and he returned to the magic tower with his friends.

When they were in the training ground, the partners were embarrassed to make a fuss in front of so many people, and after returning to the magic tower, they finally began to talk about it.

"Flandy, is the cannon really made out of that stuff?" Vito couldn't figure out what was so terrifying in it.

"......" Franky was a little speechless, but still said: "The cannon is made of steel, and only the gunpowder in the shell has nitrate." ”

"Nitrate, nitrate, that's in that?"

"Well, I can only refine from that thing for now, if only I could find nitrate ore sometime. ”

"Nitrate?" Vito shuddered, not knowing what was going on his mind, and shut up and never spoke again.

"Brother, can we take a few of those small cannons and use them during the training, I found it really powerful, even if it's that kind of small one, we can blow up the sixth-level and seventh-level demonic beasts if we carry one by ourselves, right?"

“...... Sister, are you sure you can handle it?"
