Lord God Investigator

This round of shelling destroyed all the gatehouses in the city of Ascaltra. All the checkpoints between the city and the city were reduced to rubble. The Knights soldiers stationed at the checkpoints were reduced to ashes in a daze. They did not know what happened until they died. What.

Yao En and Bruno, the dwarf blacksmith master in the Mithril team, made the 81mm medium mortar and the 60mm light mortar under the guidance of Io.

The range of medium mortars is about five thousand meters, and that of light mortars is two thousand meters.

The development of these two types of artillery, especially the light mortar, is mainly to make up for the lack of effective killing spells by mages and priests, and to serve as an effective long-range suppression weapon for the guerrillas.

The casting range of Faerûnian mages is limited, and the casting distance of long-range spells is only 400 yards + 40 yards/casting level. One yard is about 0.3 meters. Unless a level 20 legendary mage casts a unique legendary spell or has a spell range extension talent, he can only attack up to 1,200 yards, which is 360 meters.

The five thousand meter range and the two thousand meter range of the mortar are many times this distance. If the mortar is used to bombard the mage beyond the casting distance, the average mage will only face the situation of being passively beaten.

The explosion of a mortar shell will produce triple effects of flame killing, fragmentation killing and sonic killing. If it is loaded with special bombs, such as white phosphorus incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs and acid bombs, it will produce more types of killing effects.

It is difficult for an ordinary mage to open a shield that can defend against such a variety of compound injuries. Even if he is hit by a cannonball, even if he has cast a chain accident spell on himself before and can open multiple shields at the moment of being attacked, he will hardly be able to survive.

Unfortunately, due to limitations in materials and processing technology, mortars cannot yet be mechanized. The six medium-sized mortar barrels used in this bombardment were all hand-forged by Bruno. Although the barrels were added with There were several steel hoops, and the barrel pressure that the gun barrel could withstand was limited, so slight cracks appeared after firing.

However, the effect of this round of shelling was outstanding. The soldiers of the Knights of Faerun, who had never encountered such an attack, were so stunned that they did not even realize what was going on.

The 81mm shell of the medium-sized mortar is far more powerful than the magic crystal hand grenade, with an explosion radius of 12 meters. When the shell falls in the crowd, corpses and armor fragments are scattered everywhere.

Even though the soldiers were well-armored and slightly farther away from the center of the explosion, they had no obvious injuries on their bodies, but they bled to death because they were shaken to death by the shock wave.

It was the shadow thieves who lit the chimneys in the city to guide the bombardment. Arkanis sneaked into the city a few days ago and met Renoir Bloodhead. Renoir Bloodhead instigated a group of good players to cooperate with Arkanis' actions. These shadow thieves The elite stealth level is very high and they are familiar with the terrain of Acheng.

Akanis trained them as artillery guides and asked them to ambush the shadow thieves in the city's hiding spots. After he lit the chimney, these people saw a red smoke column rising in the sky and lit it near important targets in the city at the same time. Chimney.

In addition to the checkpoint gates in various urban areas, the Shadow Thieves also paid attention to the temporary assembly points of the Knights. Wherever there were more soldiers, they would light smoke tubes at the assembly points to guide the bombardment.

After the artillery bombardment, the soldiers of the Knights who rushed into the city of Ascaltra suffered the heaviest casualties since the beginning of the war. They were unaware of the threat of artillery fire and stood in a dense formation at the assembly point. The artillery shells whistled in the air and were about to fall to the ground. At that time, the soldiers were still standing there blankly looking around.

Even when artillery shells fell and exploded among the crowd, the soldiers only knew how to run around and did not understand that they should lie down to avoid the shrapnel.

Chief Mage Ditra was in a small open square in the slums when the bombardment struck. He issued an order to the soldiers gathered in the small square, asking them to arrest the uprising leader as soon as possible according to the arrest list.

When a whistle sounded in the air, the mage who sensed the danger immediately blessed himself with the ultimate barrier technique that could make him immune to all damage. Cannonballs exploded around him, and shrapnel, flames and sound waves were all blocked by the barrier, but the earth trembled. But it gave him a preliminary understanding of the power of this inexplicable attack. Hiding in the barrier, he watched helplessly as a team of a thousand men was reduced to corpses on the ground under the gunfire, and he was so shocked that he was sweating profusely.

Is this magic? Or magic?

Even though he is a knowledgeable archmage, he doesn't know what happened.

Unable to feel the magic fluctuations, he could be sure that the violent explosion just now was definitely not caused by magic.

But the power of that explosion was comparable to the simultaneous explosion of several nine-ring spells called Dragon Breath!

The muffled sound of explosions was also heard in other parts of the city, and thick smoke and dust flew up, which could be seen from a distance.

The Chief Mage immediately blessed himself with the advanced Swiftness Technique and ran quickly outside the city. The Ultimate Barrier Technique in his memory had been exhausted. The bombardment lasted for ten rounds, but the Ultimate Barrier Technique could only last four rounds. The Chief Mage gave I added three ultimate barrier techniques to survive the bombardment.

If there was another attack like this, even a legendary mage like him would die tragically on the spot.

Not long after rushing out of the city, the chief mage saw General Yan Fist riding his horse and escaping from the city under the protection of the general's guards. General Yan Fist was injured, his body was hit by shrapnel, and his arm was broken, hanging on his chest. His general's guard originally had twenty cavalry, but only eight of them escaped from the city with him.

"Lord Ditra, what happened just now? Is there a legendary mage hidden in that mob? We were attacked by the Dragon Breath Technique! The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and even many officers and mages were killed!"

Regardless of his own injuries, General Rock Fist saw Chief Mage Ditra and ran towards him, screaming in horror.

The chief mage had a gloomy face and shook his head: "That's not Dragon Breath Technique... It's more powerful than Dragon Breath Technique! It's probably another demonic weapon made by Bradero, and the red smoke column is the precursor to the explosion of that weapon. !”

"It's terrible. The soldiers have no resistance at all. The mid-level mages turned on the flame shield and stone skin technique but were killed by the sound waves. In such a short period of time, we lost thousands of people."

General Iwaken said with lingering fear: I have ordered the soldiers who have entered the city to temporarily withdraw from this devil city to escape. However, more than half of my officers have been injured and killed. It is hard to say whether the order can be passed on. "

"No, we can't let the soldiers withdraw!" the chief mage said sternly: "This kind of weapon, which is as powerful as a legendary spell, cannot be used casually. It is impossible for everyone to use it. Bredreau may be in the city, so it must be It’s a trump card used by the bewitching demon himself, he just wants to scare us out of the city!”

The chief mage shouted loudly: "All soldiers are not allowed to retreat. Attack me and charge! This is the best chance to eliminate Bradero!"
