However, at this moment, the eldest prince definitely did not have any praise and sighing in his heart, only endless anger and indignation.

"These embryo killings, at this time, they still have to block my plans. ", he said indignantly.

"Don't worry, the meteorite from the sky has achieved more results than expected, and we have the victory. Gletchev, who was beside him, said in a deep voice.

As a conductor, he was completely unaffected by the astonishing scene, and still issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Crossbow!", he shouted, and with his command, some of the soldiers of the rebels with large bags came to the front of the battle, and took out a weapon from their pockets, about a hundred in all.

The weapon resembled a crossbow, but it was so much larger that it could not be grasped with one hand, and had to be mounted on the arm to wield it. The body of the crossbow is wide, about three times the size of the average crossbow arrow, and it seems that there are extremely complex mechanisms hidden inside, and it takes up a lot of space. On the left hand side of the crossbow, there is a handle that looks very abrupt and strange, which is the biggest difference from ordinary crossbow arrows.

This strange-looking weapon is definitely not the style of the weapons already in the kingdom of St. Teresa, and even if it is brought to the army, those old soldiers who are familiar with all kinds of weapons cannot tell the origin of this weapon. Only a handful of weapons experts will recognize that this weapon is a mechanical crossbow that can only be made by dwarves!

The dwarves who live beneath the Titans Mountains and have a long history of mining, blacksmithing, and smelting are recognized as the best craftsmen in the world. Unlike humans, they have developed a very special mechanical civilization, and it is precisely because of their long-term research and manufacturing that the dwarves have far more technical knowledge than humans in mechanical manufacturing.

Of course, this technical knowledge can also be applied to war killings, and the mechanical crossbow is one of the representatives of this.

In fact, the construction of ordinary crossbow arrows has already been based on the knowledge of mechanical movement. The use of brackets and levers makes it extremely lethal for ordinary people to use, and the use of aiming is relatively simple, which is much easier to use than bows and arrows.

However, crossbow arrows also have their inherent disadvantages compared with bows and arrows, one of which is that the range is much shorter, generally only 50 to 100 meters, which is far less than the range of a longbow. The second is that power is completely fixed, determined by machinery rather than by people. For ordinary people, the power of crossbow arrows is deadly enough. But for those who use strong bows, especially elemental penetrations, the power of crossbow arrows is far from enough.

However, the mechanical crossbow invented by the dwarves solved both of these shortcomings very well. First of all, through the improvement of the crossbow mechanism, the range and power of this mechanical crossbow itself have been greatly enhanced compared with ordinary crossbow arrows.

Secondly, and most importantly, the dwarves have added another power system to the original structure, that is, the clockwork system. By rotating the handle on the left side of the crossbow, the crossbowman who wields a mechanical crossbow can accumulate more power like a clockwork, and then release it all at once, and its power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary crossbow arrows.

Mixing two powertrains in parallel is not as simple as one plus one equals two. It involves a much larger and more complex knowledge, and the dwarves have specially designed a new structure for this purpose, and the final product is more than ten times more complex than the structure of ordinary crossbow arrows, and the hardships can be imagined.

However, the effort paid off, this mechanical crossbow has accumulated its maximum power, and can shoot an entire stone with a single arrow! Even ordinary chain mail, covered with two or three layers of leather on the surface, cannot stop the power of this mechanical crossbow. If you want to resist it, you have to forge an extremely thick plate armor, and then cover the surface with three layers of cooked cowhide and sheath leather armor to stop the arrows.

In the long-term war between the dwarves and the dark elves, this mechanical crossbow has made the dark elves suffer enough. Every arrow is stained with the pain and blood of the dark elves, and the special Mithril and Adamantite gold underneath are difficult to resist the power of this mechanical crossbow. Dark elves can only withstand the power of this mechanical wrath with powerful magic, or the skin of an adult monitor lizard underground.

Because of the power of this mechanical crossbow, dwarves generally would never trade with others. Generally, only when there is a famine among the tribes, such as a serious disaster that is about to wipe out the clan, will they sell to humans in exchange for food and other daily necessities. Therefore, this kind of mechanical crossbow rarely appears in human society, and the official will never allow anyone to collect it privately, and every time it appears on the black market, it will be sold for a jaw-dropping high price.

However, it is this extremely rare and rare mechanical crossbow, and it is unbelievable that the rebels of the Great Prince have hundreds of them.

"I didn't expect that organization to have this kind of power, to be able to come up with so many mechanical crossbows, but I underestimated them before, although the conditions they proposed were so harsh, but they couldn't take care of so much. ", thought the eldest prince.

As the crossbowmen were ready, Gletchev gave a loud order: "Crossbow arrows, release!"

A screeching whistle that made the scalp tingle resounded throughout the audience in an instant, and the powerful crossbow arrows that were enough to split the mountains and rocks shot like raindrops towards the guards in front of the dormitory with a thirst for death and killing!

The three rows of dozens of people, in an instant, filled the entire space, and under the terrifying storm composed of crossbow arrows, they seemed so small and powerless.

Just like primitive human beings, in the face of devastating natural disasters such as storms, fires, and floods, what can they do but bow down and pray for God's alms?

......

The battle outside the dormitory was fierce, and all kinds of loud noises like thunder inevitably entered the palace, pushing the tense and terrifying atmosphere to the extreme. There were many palace maids who were already pale with fright, and their legs were weak, if it weren't for the previous training to support them, I am afraid they would have collapsed to the ground with fright, crying incessantly.

Every loud sound outside the palace is like a drum, hammered into people's hearts. Every time there was a sound, the bodies of those palace maids who kept trembling like a sugar sieve would tremble even more, like duckweed swaying helplessly in the wind.

Not only the palace maids, but also the palace guards also had pale faces, and they all understood how urgent the situation was, but the dignity of being a man and the responsibility of the guards made them still stand as straight as a mountain, and they were all ready to die for their country.

And in front of the big bed in the palace, a person knelt on the ground and persuaded in a grief-stricken voice: "Your Majesty, now that the thieves are powerful, you should go out of the palace to hunt and take shelter for a while." ”
