In the unforgiving desert of the Wild Sand Empire, a group of robbers are riding alpacas through the scorching sand dunes. There was nothing they cared about along the way, only blazing sunshine and endless yellow sand.

But they were neither discouraged nor discouraged, for they finally got excited when they saw a speeding "train".

"It's the big guy, quick!" One of the leaders shouted, "Catch up." ”

They put on hideous masks, drew their sharp weapons, and spurred the alpacas towards the train. Their slogan resounded through the desert: "Money or death!" ”

In the carriage, Rex looked at the robbers who were getting closer and closer, and his face turned pale with fright. Harry's hand pressed against the Soul Stone dagger, looking nervously out the window.

Instead, Rowling sat in her seat, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth: "It's really here." ”

Harley was about to ask her something, but the door was pushed open, and several soldier-like people walked in, "Craftsman, is it time for us to play?" ”

Rowling shook her head, "Don't worry, let's slip them through for a while." When their alpacas are exhausted, they will not have the strength to escape. ”

"Babble!" The robbers outside attacked the train with their scimitars, slashing at the train's carriages in a frenzy and trying to break the windows. A few of them were able-bodied and even climbed onto the train and were crawling towards the roof.

Little did they know that Rowling had several pairs of large iron balls on the roof of the car.

These balls are chained to a bearing in the middle of the roof. The craftsmen of each carriage shook the mechanism, and the iron balls whirled and whirled like a tornado.

Before the robbers who had just climbed onto the roof of the car could stand firmly, they were knocked out by the iron ball, and plunged headlong into the sand dunes in the distance, and the blood gushed to the ground.

Seeing that the robbers seemed to be a little frightened, Hallie said excitedly, "Miss Rowling, you are so smart. Those guys are scared away. ”

"Sscared away?" Rowling was a little anxious, "That's not good, let the driver stop." ”

The robber ran away and still had to stop?

Hallie couldn't understand the logic at all.

The decelerating train re-energized the robbers, and the leader shouted, "Brothers, work hard, we're about to catch up." ”

They have begun to fantasize about grabbing a large amount of gold coins and being able to live happily for a while.

The train came to a slow stop, and the robbers jumped on the train from the back of the car. No sooner had they opened the door of the warehouse than a huge bow and arrow were fired.

Zila!

The three robbers were skewered together like barbecued meat and fell into the yellow sand.

The other robbers were horrified when they saw this, but before they could think, they shot one huge bow after another in succession.

Harley had seen large crossbows in the royal capital, but most of them were bulky and slow to fire. But the bows and arrows in the warehouse were fired continuously, and the robbers had no place to dodge, and all the dead and wounded in a moment lay on the ground and wailed.

A canine boy came to the carriage and reported the current situation in a loud voice: "There are thirty-four bandits, all of whom have been seriously injured. Don't panic, we'll check the condition of the vehicle and move on. ”

The craftsmen cheered on the train, and Rowling pulled Hallie up, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”

.

The sand was full of robbers, and the soldiers of the brigade were on guard in the outer circle, and several craftsmen were pulling the crossbow arrows from the robbers' corpses.

Looking at the half-human-tall, bloody crossbow arrows, Harley asked in horror, "What kind of weapon is this, so powerful?" ”

Rowling smiled, "This is an enlarged version of the 'Zhuge Repeater'." ”

Harley was even more surprised, "What is the 'Zhuge Repeater'?" ”

"It's a hand-held crossbow that can be fired continuously, and it makes up for the lack of accuracy with the rate of fire." It was a weapon invented by Lydia's ancestors in her previous life. It's just that it's too small and lightweight to fit my aesthetic, so I zoomed in a little bit. ”

With that, she led Harley to a section of the warehouse and opened the door.

Only then did Harley see clearly that there were several chariots neatly parked inside, and the roof of the chariot was the back shell of the tortoiseshell, and the front had steel plate armor, only a small hole in the middle was exposed. Behind the hole is a large crossbow machine that is longer than a person.

But how did such a large crossbow machine fire continuously like it did just now?

Curious, Harley burrowed into the back of the chariots and found that there was a soldier operating behind each chariot. The soldier sat on the left side of the crossbow machine, with two pedals attached to the gears under his feet. As long as he pressed continuously, the gears would carry the chain and constantly pull the bowstring tight.

At the other end of the gear is a roller, which is driven by the drum to continuously drop the bolts into the slot. When the bowstring is tightened to the end, it will automatically release, and the crossbow bolt will shoot automatically.

Directly in front of the soldier is a reflex sight, with two wheels in each hand, which can control the crossbow machine to move up, down, left and right within a certain range.

The device was large but only a soldier needed to operate, and Harley was impressed by its clever design. He estimated that there were probably fifty such vehicles in this vehicle, and it would be an enemy's nightmare to encounter such dense firepower on the battlefield.

Rowling laughed, "But this is not the complete body of this 'delicate repeater chariot', Lydia drew me a three-tiered chariot before leaving." But that one was too bulky for me to build yet. ”

In the language of this world, the pronunciation of "Zhuge " is very similar to "exquisite", so Rowling played a meme here that only she could understand.

Three floors?

Harry's feet stumbled, and if you count by this train, it is equivalent to transporting one hundred and fifty repeating bed crossbows at one time. If it is a few trips, let alone the six kingdoms, even the Demon Realm Island will not be able to stop such a terrifying firepower.

He finally realized that what Rowling said was true.

With such weapons, they don't have to fear the encirclement and suppression of the six kingdoms at all.

Rowling didn't notice that Harry's face turned blue, and continued: "This kind of vehicle is mainly used to transport soldiers, and Lydia requires that each vehicle must be able to hold more than ten people, so the firepower is still weaker. ”

"Yes...... Is it? Harley stumbled in response.

Rowling nodded seriously, "yes, it's too weak." I also have a weapon called 'Katyusha' that I am experimenting with. It is loaded with Burstin Injection Fuel, can fly up to 800 meters, can reload sixteen rounds at a time, and is not affected by the Arcane Barrier......"

Harley's face turned pale when she heard this: It seems that the Six Kingdoms should be worried about being surrounded and suppressed by the Red Pavilion.
