Chapter 49: The Mystery of the Helmeted Dog
Always have to deal with the aftermath of these unlucky guys, and every now and then something goes wrong......
Liu Jingtian thinks that some people don't have their own aura of bad luck, right? Why do they have to do things as long as there are certain people?
Of course, this person is certainly not himself, and he does not admit it!
Tydamir?
No, she didn't die and found a volcano, so she was lucky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's Ma Qian's handful of people, I don't know who it is, okay, let's continue to observe!
On the dormant volcano's side, the kobold threw away his armor and lost eight cannons, but it was not completely without gain—he picked up the corpses of two monsters, and now piled them up in a pile, closely guarded.
Liu Jingtian pinched his nose and stepped forward to observe in person.
It was two leopard-sized creatures that smelled terrible, though not very stinky—a bit of burnt asphalt, or plastic.
It looked black and muscular, like a bodybuilding champion. On tough skin, there is not a single hair. And on the head, thorax, limbs and other parts, covered with a metal hard shell, looking dark gray and shiny, like steel armor.
Liu Jingtian was scared half to death, and his tail stood up!
"Your mother's! It's an alien, hey!"
Of course, before running, you may take a photo and send a circle of friends......
Fortunately, probably because of the change of body, this thing has more than ten times the thicker nerves, and now he still has the courage to poke the corpse with a stick.
"Huh, there are eyes, cut! It turns out that the knock-off, how can there be a long-eyed alien, it scared me......"
Someone breathed a sigh of relief, and since he wasn't an alien, he was much more courageous. The small wooden stick poked all the way, and it was also seen that there was a doorway.
The monster is not big, but it weighs impressively, definitely more than a hundred kilograms. The metallic luster of the 'armor' in those places, when the stone hits it, does look like steel.
Maybe you can refine it and see it?
Not only do they have metallic fangs, but they also have a long, alien-like tongue, but the tip of the tongue is a squid-like tentacle instead of teeth.
"Probably using this thing to destroy the magic of the activation rope?"
The blood is black, and it's not the acidic kind of alien blood, thank goodness.
Behind him was a thick and long tail with a blade-like armor at the end, which was very sharp, and looked like it could be used as a weapon, a bit like the tail of a bipedal wyvern.
The rest was nothing special, the corpse was stiff like rubber, and the hairless crust was an uneven black, like a stiff dead fish.
Liu Jingtian knocked his chin down, looking at the difficult monster, a little embarrassed.
"These things, can destroy magic, spit magic bullets, carapace and fire rope guns? It's just a flesh armored car, no clue...... I can't afford to use a cannon for a life, but what if I use a ballista? It doesn't seem to matter, it's just some wood and rope anyway......"
Iron and sulfur are so important, as long as you enter the Iron Age, all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are not a problem......
In the end, he was ruthless: "No! This map still has to grab the mountain, no matter how many ballistas are lost, we must take it!"
Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the fact that the technology of the ballista has been improved again, and the power is close to that of low-power artillery.
After returning to this world, everyone has been squatting in the cave for more than half a year, and the kobold has opened several new technologies: torsion spring + compound bow double ballista, standardized counterweight stone throwing machine, flintlock mini gun, and so on.
The ballista with a long name is actually based on the ballista made of composite bows, adding a little 'ancient Roman torsion crossbow' technology, in the upper and lower positions of the compound bow arm, two torsion spring groups are added, and on the basis of the same width and size of the ballista, the power has increased again, and it is close to the power of the six-pound cannon, so it is named 'three generations of ballistas', referred to as 'three cannons'.
The side effect is that the height of the "three guns" has increased, the recoil has increased greatly, and the center of gravity has also been greatly moved forward. The hull had to be switched to an artillery-like structure, while a small ramp was added under the wheels to digest the recoil.
However, this sacrifice of weight and convenience is acceptable, although the structure of the 'three guns' is complex and the manufacturing cost is very high, but the kobold workers do not need to pay wages, and the more complicated is more complicated.
The main thing is to make a lot of steel, wood and rope without worrying about the source of raw materials - to fight a war of attrition, it is necessary to use low-end soldiers to consume!
Finally, all the operations of the 'three guns' can be carried out in the rear of the ballista like breech guns, without the trouble of loading breech guns, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy, and it can also put a heavy shield in front of it, and completely embark on the route of blood thickness and high defense.
The latter two inventions, 'standardized counterweight stone throwing machine and flint mini gun', are not of much use at present, so don't mention them.
Volcanic mining has been going on for more than a month, and a lot of 'Liuma-class' transport ships have been built to transport between the two places, and the rear dungeon has been in full swing, and in a few days, ten 'three cannons' have been transported, and these hundreds of kilograms of large men have been placed in a row on the river bank.
Everything was ready, and under the personal leadership of Liu Jingtian, several kobold squads were formed, pushing three cannons and carrying arquebuses, and began to explore the depths of the cave again.
Speaking of which, although the flintlock pistol was developed, the kobold felt that the arquebus was better to use, and was not happy to change clothes.
The kobold's ammunition itself is a large-caliber smoothbore gun, equipped with a tail expansion mini bullet, and the power and accuracy are very reliable within 100 meters, and the flintlock pistol has not improved much. The advantage of the flintlock pistol is that it does not have to serve the arquebus, but there is a certain chance that the sparks that are shot cannot ignite the gunpowder, which is more worry-free for ordinary shooters.
This is not very practical for kobolds: each musket squad has three people, among which the shooter is dedicated to the arquebus, and there is basically no need to worry about dead fire, which is lower than that of flintlock pistols, so after weighing the pros and cons, kobolds have not changed their flintlock pistols.
Ma Qianzhi cautiously led the team in front.
This goods was promoted back to the company commander - several other friends carried the pot of the defeated battle, and also took all the credit on his head: what grabbed the crypt lord, found spicy earthworms and the like, Liu Jingtian had no choice but to promote him.
Inside the cave, the heat is billowing and this is a dormant volcano where you can see the lava lake underground.
The dogheads pushed the ballista with shields on their heads, and the sound of the wheels rumbled, but the monster that had been named the 'helmet dog' was nowhere to be seen.
The cave went deeper and deeper, and at several forks in the road, the kobold left behind the broken army. But as we went deeper, the number of people in the team became smaller and smaller......
