558. The Goblin Cannon Debate

In the sinkhole of the goblin ruins, Rand, who was originally sitting and watching two waves of shrimp soldiers and crabs fight each other, suddenly found that three goblin cannons were aimed at him, and in Rand's mind, he was almost in a desperate situation.

The goblins quickly reloaded the iron arrows, and then activated the magic cannon, and as the iron arrows burst out of the cannon muzzle, there was a loud "bang" sound, and Rand even subconsciously wanted to lie down and dodge.

"What are you doing?" The flames on the side roared, and the magic patterns on the horse's body turned into flames in an instant, and the wall of flames pressed against the crossbow arrows.

The rapid air flow changed the direction of the crossbow arrows, the heat made the magic patterns on the crossbow arrows instantly invalid, and the fury of the fire made the wall of fire even faster and more violent than the wind blade, and even when the few remaining iron arrows hit the land, the artillery on the opposite side had been reduced to ashes.

The three iron arrows hit Rand's demonic armor, and before they could even activate the defensive magic on the armor, they were bounced away, which was lighter than the force of the fire poking at him just now.

The first artillery battle that Rand participated in when he arrived in this world ended like this, and although he was the winning side, at this moment, he realized something.

Maybe this world has not developed firearms, but after being tested on the battlefield, it has been eliminated by more mature magic.

"Are you alright? Those goblin things can't even compare to the Wind Blade, why are you scared like this? Agni said with disgust, "I feel like you're even more afraid of those things than you were to the Grey Goose Tribe." ”

"yes, the fear of the unknown must be greater." Rand waved his hand and walked over to the remnants of the cannon and took a closer look.

What Rand didn't expect was that these goblins who couldn't even speak a complete human speech, but the cannons they controlled were extremely exquisite, the shape of the cannon body was very elegant, the cast iron color that looked from afar, and the painting was more similar to a certain anti-corrosion process when you looked closely, and the cannon body was covered with magic lines like circuit boards, which made Rand feel a little kind.

The goblins' magic lines were logically unconventional, and even if Rand had never been exposed to goblin magic or language, he was amazed by the concept, and could even detect that some of the magic lines had been repaired, as the repair was far less skilled than the original magic lines.

"Brilliant design, breathtaking workmanship, works that are ahead of their time," Randt is not shy about such works.

However, the fire on the side was very disdainful: "Cut, even the wind blade can't win the thing"

"Don't say that, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of development!" Rand smiled and tried to come over and touch the fire, but she dodged it.

"This thing doesn't work at all!" In the eyes of Agni, the Archmage of the Wind and Fire Systems, this is a matter of honor and the principle of survival, even if she doesn't understand the theory of magic, she can't lose the battle at this moment, "Don't waste your time and energy on this thing, it's complete rubbish!" ”

"Why?" Rand found it rare for Agni to lose his temper with him over magic, and was eager to know her reason.

Agni came up to Rand, and although it was difficult for a huge horse face to show emotion, Rand could feel that his old partner was really anxious now: "The reason is obvious! This thing can't connect to the magic web! ”

Hearing Agni's words, Rand suddenly thought about it, but in an instant he felt that his little pony must have a new understanding of magic and magic nets, so he guided her to continue: "Oh, then tell me, why is it useless to not connect to the magic net?" ”

"When I carry you and the horses into battle, I can feel the magic emanating from them."

After several team battles, Agni had a deep understanding of the Knights' wall of flames, "Before Tynia became queen, the herd of horses was just an increase in magic for me.

However, after Tynia ascended the throne, I felt the magic net from the core of the exquisite ball she gave me, and I could feel that countless fire elements fell from the sky through the core around the horses, originally they were the providers of magic power, but with the magic net, it became me to provide them with magic power, and the movement trajectory of the magic elements in the whole team was completely changed! ”

Speaking of this, Agni pointed at the magic pattern cannon beside Rand with his mouth: "But this thing under your feet, its magic source is always just a magic crystal, and the magic crystal born of a demonic beast may not be enough for this thing to fight once, but the effect it can cause is not even comparable to your demonic sword, which means that its power is too low and the consumption is too great!" ”

If you use Rand's understanding, it is that the magic cannon is a weapon that converts the magic power on the magic crystal into the kinetic energy of the iron arrow, but the magic released by any magic master is directly using the magic net, which is close to infinite energy pool, even if it is a mid-level high-level mage, their magic power reserves are much higher than the amount of magic that one or two magic crystals can release.

In other words, the mage himself is the best tool for releasing mana, and the knights below the middle level, although they have low power and low efficiency, are better than this cannon, while the consumption of the magic cannon itself is too high, the efficiency is not high, and the improvement of the cannon requires a complete set of industrial and magical foundations based on goblin technology, which is completely less mature and reliable than the existing human magic system.

Since it's no fun to fight against mid-level and above, can such a magic cannon be used against low-level or demonless people to fight against low-level knights or magicians? Rand thought about it, and could only say that maybe it could be used, for example, the goblins who can't use magic power now use this cannon to fight the unarmored rats.

But that kind of situation is difficult to come by, but fortunately, for Rand, the bigger gain today is that it is the first time he has heard about Agni, a black-scaled horse close to a high-level magical beast, about her understanding of magic nets and magic, and this understanding is also the first time Rand has heard of such an understanding.

"You just said that since you received Tenya's blessing, the magical relationship between you and the ponies has changed, they used to give you magic, now you give them magic from the magic net, right?" Rand gently stroked the flames, and the minority asked, "Then have you ever thought that you can change the form of those magical elements through the magic net, so that these magical elements can form different appearances?" ”

"Is this any use?"

"Of course, for human beings, being able to truly feel the magic net and enter the magic net is a sign of high rank," Rand said with a smile, "If you can understand the elements in the magic net and manipulate them through the magic net, won't you become a high-level magic beast?" ”

"Hey, Rand, you're right!" Agni happily leaned her head towards Rant, today she was very happy, Rand had found the path of a high-level demonic beast for her, and she would definitely be the first high-level demonic beast in the entire galloping horse plain.

The horse jumped happily, the magic patterns on its body stirring the air, forming several wind blades, and after a few seconds, it cut several goblin artillery groups that tried to get close in half, preventing these abrasive little goblins from ruining their own and Rand's good mood.
