Chapter 282 Meteor Fire Shower
The sorceress apprentice and the expedition team were escorted by the men in black to the basin.
They were sent to a guard camp and distributed three tents.
The bearded captain of the expedition noticed that when they came, there were already many people living in the camp.
Seeing that some of them are dressed like myself, they are explorers who came to this plateau area to try their luck.
Others are caravans from the Mainland.
The bearded captain even saw the team of the Wei En Chamber of Commerce, which is also quite famous in the Thousand Feather Empire.
He couldn't help being secretly surprised, he didn't expect that the giant leader could tolerate the Qianyu Empire's caravan to survive.
Could it be that this giant protector is also a mercantilist like the Black Dragon King?
If this is the case, it means that the giants also pay attention to profit rather than acting on their own will, and their hope of surviving will undoubtedly be much greater.
The bearded captain used his abilities and quickly got acquainted with the people in the camp. From their mouths, he learned that these unlucky bastards who were under house arrest by the giant army were all captured because they passed the giant's marching route.
But before they were captured, wizards from the power of giants had spoken.
This action of Lord Protector of the Kingdom is only aimed at alien races on the plateau. They are merchants and explorers, and they will be released after the war is over.
Let them not worry too much.
The bearded captain was relieved and learned that the Qianyu Empire's caravan steward had actually gone around looking for someone to borrow money, preparing to buy the spoils that the giant didn't need after the giant won a big victory.
In the view of the bearded captain, as an imperial man, such behavior is supporting the enemy, right?
However, when I was still in China, I often heard that those aristocrats would sell a lot of precious materials in order to obtain the giant's special products.
The actions of these businessmen in front of them are not incomprehensible.
"Master, look!"
When the bearded captain was sighing, he suddenly heard the little witch's voice behind him, and he couldn't help turning his head to follow.
It was found that the 180-meter-high giant stood up after finishing his meal, and flexibly used the materials in the steel chariot to assemble a large trebuchet with a height of 30 to 40 meters.
These trebuchets have a complex structure, with several pairs of pulleys, and most of the key parts are forged steel.
They are mainly operated by dwarves, and people can't help but guess whether these siege weapons will come from the hands of dwarves.
The witch who looked at these devices said seriously: "It's a very delicate machine."
"The dwarves of this continent cannot be made."
"Teacher, does that mean that these trebuchets come from a family of giants?"
"I'm afraid so." The witch moved from the trebuchet structure to the steel chariot with a solemn expression.
"This family of giants with mysterious origins...maybe their attainments in mechanical engineering are much more powerful than the best dwarf kingdom."
"Maybe the steel chariot is not the product of witchcraft and alchemists as we guessed, but a masterpiece born of mechanical engineering!"
Having said this, the witch pursed her mouth, unwilling to continue talking.
The image of a giant, in these few encounters, surprised her every time.
Every time I thought this was the giant's limit, but the next time I met, I would always be frightened by the giant again.
This made the witch feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
He had an intuition that he couldn't fight against giants.
Xiao Yu was assembling the trebuchet.
The structure of these trebuchets is already similar to the modified versions in the real world. The range and accuracy are all different from medieval antiques.
In addition, the trajectory of the trebuchet is a parabola, which can effectively enhance the strike density within the coverage area.
Xiao Yu felt that it would not be a loss if he made it.
If you really don’t need it in the future, you can paint it off and sell it online, right?
With the addition of the dwarves, the emergence of a large number of ordinary craftsmen enabled Xiao Yu to manufacture a large number of trebuchet parts without wasting manpower.
These parts are put in the safe and thrown in the rear compartment when they go out.
Wait until it's time to go to battle and then take it out and assemble it.
It is still possible to double the long-range firepower.
And it is sustainable continuous long-range firepower.
And the operation of the trebuchet is also more suitable for the operating habits of the artillerymen in Lilliputian. Under their operation after the extraordinary, the firing frequency can reach almost every 20 seconds.
Each fire bomb thrown out is almost the size of a millstone in the eyes of Lilliputian.
"Hiss... there are a total of one hundred and fifty trebuchets!"
The bearded captain looked at the formed trebuchets and took a deep breath.
Of course he knew the target of these catapults, so he couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for the centaur city of Marsha.
The witch also observed these trebuchets solemnly, waiting for the moment when they would show their power.
As a wizard, she is well aware of the threat these siege weapons pose to the Wizarding Academy.
The residences of great powers are all protected by a large number of witchcraft circles. Even the master of the Qianyu Empire may not be able to take advantage of hundreds of years of background by himself.
But such a background, under continuous long-range strikes, no matter how deep the foundation is, there will be moments when it cannot be followed up.
By that time, the strongholds of powerful forces with countless magic circles destroyed and their energy exhausted will be delicacies for giants and other extraordinary powerhouses, right?
"Your Highness, the black-clothed guards discovered that a group of centaur white-armored troops appeared to the north of us, about a thousand feet away from His Highness."
After Xiao Yu had just finished assembling, Wizard Inotia got the news and reported it to Xiao Yu.
"Oh?" Xiao Yu recalled, "It's the pursuers brought by the group of explorers we captured."
"What about the other wizards, have they drawn the magic circle yet?"
"Everything is ready, Your Highness." Wizard Inotia leaned forward and reported.
"Well, I will let Xiaobai deal with those White Armored Army. As for Marsha City...you can start."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and looked at the dark night under the starry sky.
With a wave of his hand, he released four floating frisbees, and moved the trebuchet, artillery and ammunition up.
The firework cannons were placed on the top of the mountain.
With the floating Frisbee dragging one hundred and fifty trebuchets, it slowly rose into the air to the same height as Xiao Yu when he stood up.
Because the mirror image disappeared, the Centaur White Armors who were panicking at this time, were running around for no reason, when they suddenly heard a meow!
Then a white shadow struck, and directly threw down the seven or eight centaur white armor troops at the end.
"monster!"
"Okay... what a big monster!"
These centaurs were attacked suddenly, and when they shouted in surprise, they were indeed elites, and they launched a counterattack immediately.
The extraordinary sharp arrows that could pierce stones were shot out one after another, but they couldn't hit the incomparably swift little white cat.
In the real world, a cat is an extremely sensitive hunter. After receiving the blessing of the blood of the monster, and a large amount of white essence liquid.
The speed and flexibility of the little white cat have been doubled.
The instantaneous speed it exploded at was even faster than the extraordinary sharp arrows shot by the centaurs!
As a result, the White Armored Army found out embarrassingly that they had been flying kites to attack the enemy before, but now they were being harassed by a cat-shaped monster flying a kite.
Moreover, this cat-shaped monster is particularly ferocious, and every attack can tear several companions apart.
The leading centaur captain raised a rune in a panic and shot a signal for help.
Boom!
When the blue flame of the centaur calling for help flashed under the night sky.
In the basin surrounded by quiet mountains, the sky was suddenly filled with flames.
Under the light of the fire, hundreds of flints soared into the sky like a meteor shower and hit Marsha City on the distant mountain.
At the same time, with the launch of the meteor shower, long-range weapons such as firecrackers also flew out, turning into fire dragons and rushing towards Marsha City.
In the city of Marsha, several centaur priests who were watching the sky at night saw this amazing scene.
His mouth was opened wide in fear, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"The ancestors are above!"
"Could this be the legendary forbidden spell ~ Meteor Fire Rain?"
