Chapter 305 The release of the trebuchet

"This must be a deception!" Someone suddenly said loudly.

Olivia looked over and saw that the aristocratic man who was invited to serve as the control group was flushed with anger and had a stern look on his face. He must be dissatisfied with being embarrassed.

Olivia waved her hand and asked someone to remove the wind wall, and looked at the person who spoke with a half-smile: "What do you mean?"

The aristocratic man said arrogantly: "The magic prop at the beginning had no other effect except making a sound, so you must have released the smoke while making the sound, and then used some method to move the stone away."

It cannot be said that he was right in saying this, it was just coming out of his mouth.

Olivia knew what he was thinking. The rocks that he couldn't destroy were destroyed easily by them. It was really embarrassing for them. She could only bite him to death. This was not true so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"First of all, this is not a magic prop," Olivia raised a finger. "It is lit with magic just because it is safer. If you insist that this is a fake, I think you will be willing to light it yourself."

After hearing this, Felicia immediately moved out several kilograms of explosives and looked at the man with piercing eyes. If the man dared to say he was willing, she would arrange it for him immediately.

The aristocratic man's face was indescribably ugly. Generally, magic props that can cause such great damage are very precious. As long as they can't prove that it's not a deception, even if his face is saved, who knows they will do it again casually.

I took it out and asked him to verify it himself.

Does he dare? How could he dare? If it weren't for the cover-up, he would not have been blown to pieces under that kind of powerful explosion.

He didn't dare to gamble.

For a while, the man was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the others spoke out to smooth things over, and finally the man was allowed to step down.

Felissa could only take back the explosives with regret, but she still looked forward to him testing it himself.

Seeing that no one was causing trouble, Olivia presided over the press conference for the next step.

Trebuchet.

The bulky equipment was covered with oilcloth, obscuring its shape. Although the people in the stands knew that there was a big guy there, they didn't know what the big guy was.

With the Kiss of the Goddess in front of it, the nobles in the stands were also very curious about this strange-looking thing and didn't know what it was used for.

Felissa took out a yellow command flag and raised it above her head. The people who had been paying attention to her movements slowly pulled up the short shaft, and the long shaft naturally fell to the ground, and then was filled with stones.

Nannuo said "Oh" meaningfully, obviously very interested in Felissa's semaphore.

Semaphore is generally used in the military to better command soldiers in chaotic situations like the battlefield. After all, the sound is sometimes difficult to convey, but the color of the flag can be seen dozens of meters away.

So such a thing is meant to be used in battles.

Felissa dropped the flag with a "swish", and those who saw the flag subconsciously let go of the rope in their hands.

The short axis that lost tension suddenly fell, causing the long axis to rise rapidly. The stone drew a parabola in mid-air by virtue of its inertia, and fell heavily to the ground.

Compared to the staggering destructive power of the Kiss of the Goddess, the trebuchet seems ordinary. As long as a wind propulsion magic is applied to the stone, the stone can be thrown that far.

But Nannuo leaned forward slightly and was very interested in the trebuchet.

No one knows better than him how much role such a machine can play on the battlefield.

Compared with unstable explosives, he believed that the trebuchet was more effective.

But the next moment, Felissa's actions broke his mind.

Felissa changed the red command flag and still performed the same action, but this time it was loaded with the Kiss of the Goddess instead of a stone.

After the Goddess' Kiss was thrown, it exploded before it hit the ground. Felissa was a little regretful, but she still didn't calculate it correctly and couldn't let the Goddess' Kiss explode after it hit the ground.

After the two demonstrations were over, Felissa had someone cover the trebuchet with an oilcloth, then withdrew, leaving the occasion to Olivia.

Olivia just laughed and said a few words before asking people to leave.

The guests didn't stay long and left happily. Olivia had to stay to clean up the place.

"Are you going back first?" Olivia whispered to Felissa, "I'll just do the finishing work."

Felissa shook her head: "No, I'll go with you."

Nannuo also stayed to help, but he was obviously a drunkard and was not interested in drinking. He probably wanted to stay and talk to Olivia about something.

There isn’t much to do in the finishing touches. I just need to load all the tables and chairs into the truck and take them back, clean up the place to avoid leaving anything behind, and then take the trebuchet back.

But it's easy to say, but there are a lot of trivial things. It will be afternoon by the time we finish them, and it will be midnight by the time we take the trebuchet back.

"I will leave a team of people to escort the trebuchet back to the manor. Let's go back to the city first." Nannuo said to Olivia.

Olivia had no objection, and the three of them returned to Cliff City before the sun set.

Olivia invited Nannuo to stay at the city lord's mansion and have dinner together, and Nannuo happily agreed.

Viscount Cliff did not show up for dinner. After all, her seniority was higher. If she were present, it would be difficult for young people to talk, so she did not show up. Only Olivia took the lead.

Felissa is just a companion, so she eats honestly.

From the conversation between Olivia and Nannuo, Felissa heard that not only Nannuo wanted to write a report to the royal family, but Olivia also wanted to write it. She wanted to compare the formula of explosives to the structure of the trebuchet and other secrets.

Write it together in the report.

This is to hand over all technology to the royal family.

Felissa frowned: From what she felt, she didn't really suggest that Olivia hand over all her skills, but always keep something as her own trump card.

But maybe there was an agreement between the royal family and the Cliff family that she didn't know about. In short, she couldn't express much opinion on this matter.

Nannuo quickly brought up the topic of what he cared about. He hoped that the Goddess's Kiss and the trebuchet would be put into use as soon as possible. They would be very useful in dealing with the demons in the future.

Olivia agreed. After all, these two items were invented to fight against the demons. Soldiers should be familiar with them as soon as possible and learn to operate them.

But she also reminded Nannuo that it was best to hide these two things first and not to take them out in a hurry, at least not during a small fight to test each other.

"I know," Nannuo nodded, "but I think it's not far from the time when it can be used."

Speaking of this, Felissa couldn't help but interject: "During the rebellion in the south, I heard that the demons gathered an army to cooperate with the inside and outside, but why was there no movement again?"

This Nannuo knew: "The original plan of the demon clan was to use the rebels from the south as the vanguard. As a result, the rebels were insignificant and useless. Of course, they did not plan to attack and it was a waste of effort."
