Chapter 144: The Dreadnought Legion (2)
----- [Regeria] perspective------
[Knights - in the name of the goddess of the moon, Lunatia!
In fact, this sentence can only be heard by the people of [Rededia], and the garrison led by Charlie outside the city cannot hear it, so they launched their actions based on the signal flares that exploded in the air at the same time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the port city, everyone stared with bated breath at the scene reflected by the light screen in mid-air. The dense number of demonic beasts around three or five thousand horses was approaching the direction of the city wall at an extremely fast speed, while the knights who suddenly appeared out of thin air were sitting in place, and now they were still more than a kilometer away from the demonic beasts.
Although the girl gave the order to attack, none of these knights moved their feet, but although their bodies did not move, it did not mean that they were indifferent. I saw the knights lined up, all of them half-crouched down, stretched one arm forward, and assumed a strange pose.
Their actions did not belong to the posture of any kind of martial arts common in the empire, and they did not see what kind of weapons they carried, which was really confusing.
However, in the next second, an even more wonderful scene was staged, the knights' arm armor glowed, deformed, and finally did not know how to fit it, and the volume increased by at least ten times, becoming a long rod of steel.
In the rudder of the Adventurers' Guild, the magicians in the adventurer's team made an incredible voice - "Refining magic...... How could it be!?Are all those knights high-level magicians!?"
You must know that although the magic made of matter is only the fourth order, it is far beyond the difficulty of the fourth order to use various materials flexibly and refine the object into a complete and solid one.
At the same time, in the tavern inn on the coast in the other corner of the town, the man in the captain's hat surrounded by a group of sailors was even more frightened by the product of magic - "Ju, is it actually a magic cannon? Can the knights of the Terrence Empire refine a magic cannon out of thin air!?"
However, the fact that they were surprised now was actually too early, no, to look at it from another angle, while they could still think, it seemed understandable to show their exclamation, because in a few seconds, they would not even be able to utter a sound of astonishment.
The magic cannon roared, and fire flashed from the muzzle, and dozens of shells flew out diagonally upwards in a clear arc. Because the picture is far away, it is even more from top to bottom, and the projectile shot is still shining with dazzling brilliance, even ordinary people can see the entire trajectory of its flying shot.
In an instant, the original neat light track suddenly burst in the middle of the process, and turned into thousands of fine light rains that spread across the ground, and the beasts covered by the rainstorm suddenly exploded to the bones.
The striking range of each shell is at least a hundred square meters, and just one round of shooting reduces the number of demonic beasts to one-third. Since it was a parabolic attack, it was aimed at the back of the array, and it did not cause damage to the adventurers who fled at the front.
At the same time, as expected, both the magicians of the Adventurers' Guild and the captain of the Harbor Tavern were so shocked by the blow that they couldn't even speak.
In the eyes of the magician, the power of each of these cannons was not inferior to the fourth-order tactical magic. And they never imagined that what was created with refining magic was actually a magic guide...... You know, the magic guide is not a simple work of art, it is inlaid with running-in, engraved magic patterns, and all kinds of fine parts. Being able to use refining magic to make the parts in it is already a miraculous skill, and it is simply impossible to refine it into a complete set of magic guides with all five internal organs.
On the other hand, the captain of the merchant ship of the [Melpheis] Sea Country, he was originally a retired soldier of the navy, and he was extremely confident in the performance of his country's shipborne magic cannon, and he even thought that it was one of the strongest weapons in the world, after all, it was a terrible weapon that ordinary sailors who knew nothing about magic could operate smoothly, and every shot could knock down hundreds of meters away, and the power could be comparable to the third-order elemental magic. But the magic cannon in front of him is even smaller than his own country, shooting farther and more powerful......
In fact, they didn't know that the power and range displayed at the moment were far from the limit.
Although Alize used magic guide technology to imitate the structure of the mortar, the corresponding long-range reconnaissance and positioning means have not kept up with the progress of armed technology, and the visual range of the human eye is limited after all, even if the [Luna Armor] is equipped with individual optical equipment, this can only barely reach a field of view of two kilometers. In order to exert the ultimate range of more than seven kilometers of mortars, it is necessary to conduct satellite positioning of the target from orbit. At the very least, it must be supplemented by a detector such as radar.
Although the magic pattern detector used by Hilda is also equipped in the [Assassin]'s armament set, it is only a lite version, and it can only be used for sensing and tracking specific targets, and if you want to scan and locate all the people in the entire area, the consumption of mana is too great, and it is completely beyond the load range of the guards. But despite this, this round of shelling is enough to refresh everyone's perception of weapons and war.
But before everyone could come to their senses, the second round of shelling came out of the chamber again, and the interval was only a short ten seconds. You must know that ten seconds of work can only cast the simplest second-order magic, but those knights can use the time of second-order magic to release fourth-order tactical magic one after another. The magicians of the Guild did not dare to ponder what this meant.
The second round of shelling was fired, and this time, the knights pulled up the parabola of their muzzle shots, making the range much closer than before. It's just that this round of shelling didn't hit too many targets, and most of them exploded on the empty grass, ravaging the originally verdant plains into scorched earth with white smoke. The exploding pits formed a line, forming a ditch that hindered the progress of the demonic beasts. It turned out that this round of shelling was to cover the fleeing adventurers.
As if to fulfill the girl's declaration, they are gods from heaven who have come to save their fellow victims.
---- Guards and Alice's perspective----
"Reload, prepare!!"
At this time, at the rear of the garrison queue, Deputy Captain Charlie loudly gave a preparation order, asking the members of the artillery team to prepare for the third round of shooting.
[Wait, Uncle Charlie~!Stop shooting Italian guns!]
But at this moment, Alice's voice came from the communicator, interrupting his plan.
"Eh, why do you want to go on like this, and if you go on like this, a few more shots, and they'll be done. Miss Arizzel said that with our magic powers, we can barely shoot a dozen shots. ”
There were still two-thirds of the number of demonic beasts left, and Charlie was a little confused by the sudden stop order. As for what 'Italy' was, Charlie didn't bother to ask, because it didn't seem to him once or twice that Miss Alice uttered such an unclear word.
[It's too dull to just do this!I want to get some more colorful skills.,After all, it's propaganda!Even if it's in the game PV,,You should also show normal attacks.,Various derivative skills.,Or Musou Flurry, right?]
"Oh...... Oh, so change some weapons?"
As just now, Charlie still didn't ask much about the meaning of the inexplicable words in the second half of the sentence.
[Hmm!In short, in the category of security, do it as gorgeous as possible?]
After saying that, Alice turned off the communication equipment, as for the specific operation, she didn't bother to think about it, the [Luna Armor] is rich in weapons, and she actually can't remember them all, here, it's up to the expert Uncle Charlie to decide. Anyway, Alice hugged little John coldly again.
"Hey-huh...... Uh-huh!"
Little John just wanted to protest, but his mouth was tightly covered.
"Shh......h Next, in order to increase the performance effect, let's do a wave of lightning live broadcast......"
The overly intimate distance and inexplicable words made John's pretty face look both stunned and confused. However, before he could respond, Alice jumped high on the edge of the city wall, and if she performed her [Light Skill], even the fragile branches could become a foothold, allowing the two of them to leap forward in mid-air. In a few moments, they came to the cedar tree next to the garrison to capture their combat posture at close range.
"That's good! John's Snapshot ......!"
Now, John has also given up the idea of resisting, Alice's arrogance is no longer a day or two, he resigned himself to no longer struggle, maintaining the posture of being held up, and leaning the weight of his upper body on Alice's body.
----- [Regeria] perspective------
After two shellings, the scenery of the light screen somehow quickly drifted in the direction of the battlefield, and it did not stop until it was close to the knights. The closer you get, the more you can't help but marvel at the glorious figure of these knights. The armor seemed to be made by the gods, as if it were made by the gods......
The fleeing adventurers passed by the knights, and they ran wildly in the direction of the city gates without looking back, and occasionally a few of them stopped to express their gratitude to the knights, but from the seed of their gaze there was more indescribable awe than gratitude.
The knights did not speak, but simply nodded their heads, unable to read their feelings, for the faces of the people were firmly wrapped in helmets, and they could not see anything but their eyes.
However, it is true that now is not the time to pay attention to this, because the footsteps of the demonic beasts are constantly approaching, and after the baptism of attack, their emotions seem to be extremely angry. You can vaguely see that the pair of ferocious eyes are shining with scarlet light.
But in the midst of the earth's tremors and burning hostilities, these pure white knights were unmoved. They changed the order of the array in an orderly manner, and the second row of people changed to the front line, and similarly stretched out their right arms, using magical 'refining magic' to construct objects that were completely different from the previous magic cannons.
This time, due to the close distance, the process of transformation and assembly, which was originally wrapped in light, was also presented to the eyes of many magicians in the city. They rubbed their eyes vigorously, disbelieving what they were seeing. It can be seen that countless delicate parts are solidified and formed in a soft white liquid, and the assembly is completed rapidly.
The foreign captain instinctively realized that it was also a long cannon, but unlike before, it was not just a set of barrels, but composed of many thin barrels, forming a honeycomb-like shape. Then, in the midst of the fierce explosion, the hive bloomed with countless dazzling fire lotuses......
