Chapter 264: Darren: My cannon is already hungry and thirsty!
"Huh? What are they doing here?"
Lydia, the first to run down from the airship, saw the sight of thousands of people kneeling down and kowtowing to her, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.
After hearing everyone's shouts clearly, Lydia's face was also a little strange, it turned out that she was a messenger of God, why didn't she know?
Behind him, a soldier in fine leather armor and armed with muskets also stepped down from the airship.
After several months of special training, in the fight and fight with the demonic beasts, these people have long since lost the appearance of recruits, and all of them are filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Although Raeder didn't make a fuss like those mine slaves, thinking that it was a gift from God, he was also shocked to see dozens of airships appear in the valley out of thin air, and thousands of people hula-la-la.
For the debut of the musket team, Lynn naturally attached great importance to it, and brought almost all the airships made in the workshop, and the batch that was originally promised to be handed over to the council was no exception, a total of seventy ships, just to transfer the entire musket team and artillery team from Iyeta here in one go.
The ability to have such terrifying transportation is also thanks to the alchemists who have solidified magic such as "Wind Whisper" and "Lightness" on these airships, which greatly increases the carrying capacity of this thing.
That's why it only takes one day to get from Iyeta to Hadrata Kingdom, but Lynn has Raeder delay for ten days, just to wait for these airships to complete the modification.
In addition, Philip and others, who were in charge of the production of the airship, also came.
However, they are not here to help, but to test the performance of the weapon, and only in the real battlefield can the advantages and disadvantages of this new weapon be tested.
Darren led a group of halflings to carry the new artillery, and then asked impatiently. "What about our enemies? Where is it? Where?"
His cannons are already hungry and thirsty!
The airship came in the opposite direction to the Imperial army, and they didn't collide directly.
"There's a cavalry corps guarding the valley just outside the valley, about a kilometer or two from here...... As for the army led by the Grand Duke, there is no trace of it yet." Raeder explained.
"No, they're already here, and they'll be there in about half an hour!" Philip said very seriously, and put down a cylindrical thing in his hand, which is a telescope made using the principle of glass concave and convex lenses, and they also blessed the outermost lens with a hawk eye, which can see far, far away.
It's much more powerful than the alchemy eyepiece invented by the Alchemy Guild.
I heard that Dean Lynn is also planning to build a larger astronomical telescope that can clearly see distant galaxies.
"Where?" This time it was Raeder's turn and the others to be confused.
Philip smiled and handed the telescope in his hand.
Raeder stretched out his hand to take it, and after asking how to use it, he put the cylindrical thing in his eyes, and for a moment, his vision seemed to travel a distance of thousands of meters, and he could even intuitively see the mottled lines on a tree.
This is the magic of the combination of magic and technology, which has the effect that one plus one is greater than the two.
Raeder sighed in his heart, having experienced a lot of wars in the dream world, of course he understood how important it was to have the ability to observe the movements of the enemy in the distance at any time.
After adjusting his mood, Raeder turned his head and began to search, and soon found his target.
In the distance, flags of different shapes and family coats of arms flew all over the sky, and more than 10,000 soldiers marched in line, their long knives in their hands and the bows and crossbows pinned to their waists glowing in the sun.
As soon as there are more than 10,000 people, not to mention these heavily armed elites, it is impossible for any nobleman in the [Hadratta] Kingdom to have so many armored soldiers, but this time the conquest operation gathered more than 20 nobles' private soldiers, each of whom was hundreds or thousands, and forced this army to be assembled
Raeder, who was observing from a distance, felt a chill in his heart, although there were tens of thousands of people on their side, their standing position was sparse, and they didn't even have the guy in their hands
Qi, the power of the two cannot be compared at all, I am afraid that it will collapse if it is just a face.
The only reinforcements they could rely on were this out of thin air, and Raeder looked at the musketeers in front of them, especially after a long pause on the strange long stick they were holding, thinking that this thing shouldn't be as good for striking as their hoes, right?
And the number is only three thousand five hundred, whether it can fight against the regular army of the kingdom is still unknown, in comparison, Raeder cares more about these seventy behemoths in the valley, maybe this is the killer of the wizard.
"Can a cannon hit such a distance?" Philip asked.
"It's too far, preferably within a kilometer, it's more accurate." Darren pondered and replied that although Dean Lynn had asked them to make a cannon that could hit two or three kilometers away, the idea had so far been a blueprint.
"In that case, it's not too late for them to attack, lest they run away." Philip nodded, and then instructed the wizard apprentices to start adjusting their artillery.
The others also took action, Lydia and the others returned to the airship, activated the polarization magic, and rose into the sky, while the musketeers quickly reloaded with lead bullets to ensure that the first bullet could be fired immediately during the battle.
On the other side, Duke Rickman had led a large army out of the valley, and after receiving the report from the cavalry, he shook his head with a sneer.
These people hid in the valley, although they could rely on the terrain to defend, but they were also blocking their own retreat.
It's a self-defeating one.
Just as Rickman was about to rush into the valley and start a massacre, he was surprised to find that Raeder had led people out of the valley, and a miner was dressed in rags, holding long knives, axes, hoes, and mining manuscripts, and he was very reluctant to line up.
Seeing this scene, the nobles present laughed out loud, Joyce's face was extremely ugly, he had already felt the mocking eyes of everyone, and he was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into, he would be beaten by such an army at the beginning.
"We'd better be careful, in such an unfavorable situation, the other party dares to come out, most of them have something to rely on!" Archbishop Nord suddenly reminded.
Before he set out with the army, the cardinal warned him that the *** of these miners in the south of the kingdom was too strange and might have something to do with wizards......
