Chapter 17: Explosions
Russell wiped the sweat from his forehead and questioned: "There is still a lot of distance from the bandit leader here, and the range of this giant crossbow is enough, but if I miss a hit, it will alarm him, and it will be difficult for this giant crossbow to threaten him again." ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he did not answer Russell, but unloaded the box on his back, opened it, took out a round, irregular iron block the size of three fists, and said to himself: "This is the latest masterpiece of the alchemists of our brotherhood, called Heavenly Punishment, which has the power of a god like splitting mountains and opening stones. ”
Russell looked at this uneven, aesthetically devoid creation, and thought of the description of the cuckoo just now, and understood, this is clearly wrapped in something similar to what was called gunpowder in his previous life! I don't know how these alchemists made it, but it looks like the quality is very unreliable, one is not enough, and there are more.
Russell looked at Cuckoo expectantly and asked, "Miss Cuckoo, do you still have any extra 'heavenly punishment'?" Cuckoo hugged his box tightly, looked at Russell vigilantly, and said, "No, no!"
Russell smiled, this is obviously three hundred taels of silver here! He had no choice but to be patient and explain his thoughts: "Miss Cuckoo, in my opinion, your 'heavenly punishment' is not too damaging, right?"
"How do you know。。。。。。 ”
Russell did not answer, but continued: "If we want to shoot the bandit under the horse with an arrow, we must ensure that we will be able to hurt him, or we will not be able to hold the city at all." Therefore, it is necessary to use multiple 'heavenly punishments'. ”
After hearing this, the cuckoo seemed to think that what Russell said made sense, so he reached into the box and touched it, found two 'heavenly punishments' and said, "No, it's all for you." ”
Russell smiled, not believing the woman's nonsense. Picked up the two gunpowder bombs and tied the three 'Heavenly Punishments' to the bolts of the giant crossbow with ropes. The rate of fire of the giant crossbow was fast, and Russell cut the fuse shorter to ensure that the bombs could explode at the same time as they hit the bandits.
The city walls were already about to be decided, only Viscount Haile, the mercenaries and the vicinity of Carterbauer were able to resist a little, and the rest of the place was already in a state of collapse, and some even lost their armor and ran into the city. Seeing that this situation could not be delayed, Russell carried the crossbow body with both hands and tried to aim at the bandit leader. Seeing Russell's struggling appearance, Cuckoo hurriedly ran over, saw that Russell had already taken aim, and lit the fuse with a flint. Russell looked at the arrogant bandit leader and yelled, "Give it to me!"
Russell pulled the trigger, and a "buzzing" sound came from the crossbow line, and the air around him trembled slightly, and the crossbow arrow instantly slashed through the battlering crowd and the ranks of the rogues, and shot the horses under the leader of the bandits. The leader of the bandits fell to the ground with the war horse, howling miserably, probably only a broken leg. But before the bandit leader could rejoice, the burning "Heavenly Punishment" on the handle of the arrow exploded, instantly illuminating the sky near the bandit leader.
Russell sat down relieved when he saw the crossbow arrows work, and the aiming just now consumed too much of his mental energy. The cuckoo also opened her thin lips wide, as if she couldn't believe the power of "Heavenly Punishment". In the distance, shouts such as "the boss is dead" and "run away" were heard, and the rogues who had lost their backbone fled out of the city wall in a panic, seizing the ladder one by one and escaping, and from time to time people were squeezed off the city wall.
Viscount Haile saw that the leader of the bandits did not know whether he was alive or dead, and was hurriedly pulled on the horse by several of his men, and fled in a hurry, looking at the fleeing rogues all over the mountains, he wanted to order the pursuit, but looking at the few remaining and exhausted men, he could only sigh.
Russell's actions were seen by the viscount, and he asked the guards to call Russell over and asked, "You have made great contributions this time, and I will report your merits to the empire." ”
Russell didn't believe the Viscount's words at this time, but still bowed slightly: "Thank you for your generosity." ”
As the sun set, the soldiers rescued their teammates and cleaned up the battlefield. Russell looked at the uninhabited battlefield, his heart was not calm, he understood that Russell wiped the sweat on his forehead, and questioned: "There is still a lot of distance from the bandit leader here, and the range of this giant crossbow is enough, but if I miss a hit, it will alarm him, and it will be difficult for this giant crossbow to threaten him again." ”
