Chapter 176: Secret Weapon
"Are you here?" Ruiz put down the magic array composition that he was drawing a little bit in his hand, looked at the minotaur who walked into his room, and asked a little strangely, "Aren't you usually very busy at this time? ”
"I'll be very quiet in the future. Mo Yan walked to Ruiz's side, pulled out the big chair specially prepared for him, sat down, and said: "A few days ago, I reorganized the entire working organization, and now many details are handed over to others to deal with, and I only need to manage the entire general direction." Nowadays, all the files are much lower, and it only takes two or three hours a day to solve everything. ”
"That's good news. Ruiz laughed and said, "Being able to communicate more with you also makes me think of a lot of good ideas, and I experimented with the electromagnetic effect you talked about last time, and it really works as you said."
Now I'm designing the magic circle you need, converting the magic energy into a powerful electricity, and then converting it into the magnetic force you said, and the magnetic force is firing the steel projectiles, so the huge power generated by this may not be able to withstand such an attack even if it is a titan or a dragon, and it will become another epoch-making weapon like artillery!"
"Oh...... That's right. Ruiz pointed to the scribbled drawings in his hand and said, "Although the entire magic system is not particularly complicated, there are still many technical problems to be solved, and I may not be able to complete it in a year and a half." If you want to get your hands on a finished weapon right now, it's not a realistic thing. ”
"It's already very unscientific to be able to solve this problem within a year and a half...... Mo Yan said with a smile after listening to Ruiz's words: "Although this theory sounds very simple, if you just use mechanical power to solve it, maybe it will not be possible to solve it in the next few thousand years, sure enough...... The world is magical. ”
"Oh, is it possible to use a machine to do this?" Ryze nodded and frowned and thought for a moment, "If you use that kind of machine that converts water and fire energy into electricity, it's really a very difficult thing to do." The energy requirement to reach the weapon level is very high, and only the magic energy crystal can do it at the moment."
"It's good to take your time with weapons, now is not the time to rush them. Mo Yan nodded and said, "Let's talk about the thing you made last time, I think it's still a little too big, can you shrink it to a throwing level?"
"What about that thing?" Ruiz touched his gray beard and said, "I don't know how to use it in the field, you are in too much of a hurry to take out that thing, and there are some problems that I haven't solved yet." If you want to be smaller, you have to wait until the technology matures, and I think ......"
At this time, over the city that the Lightning Legion was about to attack, Led Zeppelin One, which had once again flown over the city shrouded in magical shields, had opened the throwing chamber at the bottom of it, ready to carry out the mission given to it by Refora. Several strips of glowing magic crystals were inserted into a half-human-tall round silver-white sphere, intensifying all the magic array systems within it.
"Having reached the lowest altitude, it is no longer possible to descend. The grey dwarf at the helm said to the bearded grey dwarf captain with the captain's hat, "According to the test we did yesterday, we will be hit by the fireballs of those mages if we go down. And as soon as the helmsman finished speaking, more than a dozen fireballs flew out of the city below, heading towards the airship suspended in the sky.
However, the Grey Dwarf was not wrong in his calculations, and it was a safe place at this altitude. At this height, the mages in those cities could no longer control the fireballs they fired. As the distance from the mage got farther and farther away, the burning magic energy would slowly disperse and fade until it finally disappeared, without harming the airship at all.
"Yes. Captain Grey Dwarf, whose face and eyes were barely visible under the brim of his hat and his thick beard, took the pipe from his mouth and said in a somewhat heavy voice: "Begin to correct the angle of the throw according to the direction of the wind, move twenty-five squares to the southeast fifteen degrees, and inform the throwing team to prepare to complete the throw." ”
"Confirmed! The whole boat moved 25 blocks to the southeast at 15 degrees. The helmsman repeated the captain's command aloud as he scrambled the rudder in front of him, and the multitude of buttons that controlled the steam engine. The herald on the side also opened the lid of the metal microphone leading to the throwing room, and shouted into the hollow: "The throwing team is ready to finish throwing, repeat! ”
The herald's loud voice followed the long pipe into the ready throwing chamber, where the two werewolves lifted the secret weapon together and placed it on top of the throwing machine. After all this is done, all that remains to wait is the final order to throw.
The two SS soldiers, who were in charge of monitoring all movements, walked to the left and right of the throwing machine, put their hands on the two levers, and as soon as the horn-like microphone gave the command, the secret weapon would be dropped immediately!
At this time, on the ground, the soldiers of the Lightning Legion, who had already eaten a full meal, were also slowly advancing towards the city in a loose formation. Some of the people carried the finished ladders in their hands, and there were quite a few crashes in the formation. Generally speaking, the Great Legion will also make some towers that are about the height of the city walls to push forward.
But the Lightning Legion is too small to use a tower that requires a lot of manpower. At the same time, if the bulky thing is made in small quantities, it will be burned by the archer or mage points in the city. Not only will a lot of materials and time be wasted, but there is also a great possibility of burying the warriors in it.
"Throw, repeat, throw!" the final order came from the microphone.
"Confirm the throw. The two SS men looked at each other to make sure they had heard the order, and pulled down the lever in their hands, watching as the round orb they had guarded all the way fell, with the blue magic shield of the city.
"Has that magical object been thrown out?" A military mage on the city wall squinted at the strange device flying in the sky, although his eyesight had been poor after reading a magic book for a long time, he could sense fluctuations in magical power. He knew that an object with a great deal of magical energy was falling towards the center of the city.
Before the mage could see what was being thrown, a blue glow that wasn't bright burst above the shield, and streams of demonic energy spread out above the center of the city shield. Corrosion has hollowed out the city's magical shields, which have grown in size over time. The magic array that maintained the entire shield under the castle flickered, and the turbulence of magical energy that was approaching had greatly affected its connection with the sub-circles on the city walls.
This turbulence of magical energy eventually seeped into the ground, and the magic circles that could barely be maintained by the mage dimmed their light and could not function because the mage put away the magic. The scale of this man-made turbulence of demonic energy exceeded the estimation of all the military mages who maintained the circle underground.
Some mages who failed to withdraw their magic power even fell into a coma due to the power of the demonic energy that consumed them. This unseen turbulence of magical energy in the air made them dare not use magic again for at least half a day, and the entire city's magical energy shield and magic trap on the city walls would not be able to activate.
Now that the weak mages are waste, the city can only be defended by the warriors who are above the walls. The Legion Commander, who was in the castle trying to figure out how to get the airship flying in the sky without the help of the Griffin Knight, was disrupted by the intruding guards.
After he heard the shouting words of the guards, he hurriedly ran to the balcony of the castle, looking at the unobstructed blue sky and white clouds, and his originally relaxed heart was instantly tightened. The corps commander, who ran back to the office almost as fast as he could, found his herald to quickly draft the order.
"Immediately let all the resting people give me to stand by the city walls!" the legion commander didn't care about his ink-stained sleeves, pressed the seal of the ring on his hand to the order book, and handed it to the herald and shouted, "Also, who, call those damned mages to me! I don't care if they are national talents or not, if they don't restore the magic shield within ten minutes, I will immediately cut off their heads!"
And before the herald left, a mage who was already relatively old had already pushed open the door and walked in quickly, letting the herald who hurriedly ran out say to the angry legionalist: "I'm afraid that even if you kill all of us, we won't be able to restore the operation of the magic shield immediately." This is not as simple as an ordinary malfunction, this is the means used by the enemy. ”
"I don't care what the enemy's means are, or your so-called ordinary malfunction, you must repair the city's shield for me! Immediately, immediately!" the Legion Commander looked at the mage and roared, "Those Salts were almost unscathed a few days ago, and they wiped out all four of our reorganized legions. You should know more than I know about the kind of magical weapons they have. I don't want my soldiers to be on top of the walls, constantly being attacked by that kind of weapon!"
"But...... There's really nothing we can do. The mage of the death order of the legion commander said with a bitter face: "Although it is embarrassing to say this, but we military mages have no talent, and it is already very reluctant to graduate from the academy. At best, we'll only be able to do the things we know well, like maintaining magic circles, crafting runestones, and scrolls to eliminate magic traps. This is the case now...... There's really nothing we can do. ”
