80. Hold my city 6
Philip opened the metal ball, revealing rows of shiny magic crystals, everyone could see that inside the shell of the metal ball, some sharp spikes were facing the magic crystal, according to the normal understanding, once these metal spikes pierced the magic crystal, a violent explosion would occur.
Closing the metal orb, Philip placed it into the crystal cannon and repeated the action he had just fired.
"Bang!"
Then a loud bang sounded on the stone that was much louder than the previous one, and the huge stone was torn apart, so much so that Philip had to erect a magic shield to prevent a stone bigger than his head from flying towards him, choking the dust all over the sky, causing the sensitive Delia to cough incessantly. Everyone's ears were shaken by the loud noise of this life, and Gary could see Franklin say something loudly to him again, but he couldn't hear a word. Grace subconsciously stuck to Philip's side, holding his man tightly with both hands.
The smoke dissipated, and the huge stone that once stood was gone, leaving shards of stone all over the ground, Philip shook his head, he was better than the others, after all, this thing was made by him, in the explosion-proof laboratory in the garden, he had done shiyan countless times, it was a confined environment, every time it exploded, the shock wave was reflected back and forth by the solid wall, Philip was hit much more than this, several times his ears and nose were shocked to the point of bleeding, and he had to apply healing to himself after Shiyan before going back to sleepγ
No amount of praise is enough to express the shock in everyone's hearts, just one or two magic arrays can achieve almost the same effect as the magic cannon, but the complexity is not a little bit simpler than the magic cannon, if this weapon is promoted, the complex and mysterious magic cannon can almost be swept into the historical garbage heap.
"Good thing, really good thing! If we had him, we wouldn't have died so many brothers. With tears in his eyes, Sam stroked gently on the magic crystal cannon, like caressing his own lover, gentle and delicate.
Sam's words reflect everyone's mood very well, if the magic crystal cannon had been put into use earlier, the battle situation would not be as tragic as it is now.
Philip patted Sam on the shoulder, walked from the crystal cannon to the place where the big rock had been, turned to the crowd and said, "Guys, how far do you think it is from you to me?"
"Probably less than a hundred meters, right?" said Gary hesitantly, not understanding what Philip meant by asking.
Lord Earl shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The magic crystal cannon is only so far away, and if it is farther away, the cannonball will not know where to fly." β
One hundred meters, down from the head of the city, a few steps further is almost so far, although the power of the magic crystal cannon is great, but at such a close range, the effect is indeed not obvious, and the eyes of the Lobit military and political leaders dimmed again.
Philip walked back, came to Gary's side, leaned over to the dwarven leader and said, "Gary, there is a way to make the cannonballs of the magic crystal cannon fly farther and be more accurate, but I can't do it, I need your help." β
As an electrical engineer, Philip is not a mechanical expert, but as a man who yearns for iron and war, he knows something about the famous rifling.
As the soul of the barrel, the role of rifling is to give the warhead the ability to rotate, so that the warhead can still maintain a set direction after being discharged, if Philip had rifling in the barrel, it would not be like this, only to hit something within a hundred meters.
"My lord, it's true, the Assassins used hidden weapons, and when people kick the ball, if they can give the object a certain rotation, they can keep the direction of the thing. According to you, if you pull a spiral thread in the barrel, you can achieve this effect......"
As he spoke, Gary's eyes lit up under his thick eyebrows, and he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed his left palm hard, "That's right, that's it, if I can scrape out a sharp blade made of high-strength metal, then I can make the rifling you said, so that we can build a magic crystal cannon that can fight farther, and with the magic crystal cannon, we may not need Dennis's dark elf army to win!"
Philip only forced a smile, obviously not as optimistic as Gary, "Actually, the real trouble is not in rifling......"
"Hehe, today, we must take Lobit!"
Ivey's long, crooked chin was in the helmet, and he looked extremely obscene, and the smug look on his face made people look like they wanted to beat him, and the person who wanted to beat Ivey was not his enemy, but Abigail, his brother-in-law, who was riding beside him.
Ivy seemed to forget that he had been beaten by Lobit's defenders, and asked Abigail to clean up the mess for him, watching him brandish his horsewhip and pointing out the city of Lobit to his men, as if he had taken down the ruined city, and talked for ten minutes, without mentioning Abigail's credit.
"Last night, we have already climbed to the top of the city twice, if it weren't for the fear of taking down the city of Robit at night and letting that Philip take advantage of the chaos to escape, now, we would be playing with the virgin in the lord's palace! Brothers!
"Roar!"
Ivey's army let out a wolf-like howl, and the soldiers seemed to see the woman's white body, lying on the ground for them to ravage. Abigail's subordinates also wanted to learn from the Ivey soldiers to shout, but the officers looked at Abigail's ugly face and hurriedly stopped the soldiers who were about to move, their superiors were different from Ivey's second ancestor, and they were quite strict with their subordinates, and they were not allowed to harass women or rob everywhere after the city of Lobit was broken, so he would naturally send some of the last time to the soldiers.
As a soldier who participated in the bloody battle of Demon Suppression Pass, he deeply knew that once an army degenerates into a beast, what awaits them is destruction, and once they can't snatch treasures and women from the enemy, they will shoot their comrades and commanders in turn, and when the time comes, everyone in this army will be destroyed.
"Ahem, sir, you can attack, don't give them any chance to rest. Abigail whispered a reminder that Ivey was his brother-in-law no matter what, and he had to help the second ancestor now.
Ivy nodded with satisfaction, seemingly very satisfied with Abigail's attitude, looking at Lobit City, which had been attacked all night and was still smoking everywhere, he waved his big hand and roared with a bit of momentum: "Attack!"
