Realm of Power

It was still dark, and the sky was full of beautiful stars. Utukul got up from the moist grass. 12 short-barreled cannons that had been placed were less than 20 meters away from where he rested. On top of the cannons Within 50 meters of the perimeter, hundreds of Vecchia guards in black armor stood in a circle. From time to time, additional cavalry patrols passed by in the distance. The crisp horse hooves stepped on the hard rocks, making a pleasant sound.

"Is this really the God of Thunder?" This was the fourth time Utukul asked himself this question, stroking his thin chin that had just grown stubble. The weapons in front of him were really weird, and the stubby muzzle was like a slant. The large iron pot was propped up, and the metal surface was not the dark luster of Thor, but a mysterious dark silver. Several arm-thick metal frames protruded from the back of the smooth barrel and were deeply inserted into the earth, revealing There is a ferociousness that makes people dare not look at it.

If Utukul was a knight, he would recognize this dark silver metal as the precious metal "fine steel" used to make knight armor. The density and strength of this thing are several times stronger than ordinary forged steel. , the price has even reached 1,000 gold coins per catty. If Utukul knew that the 12 monsters placed in front of him were worth 1.2 million gold coins just for forging them, he would not have the leisure to comment here. Got it

"grown ups!"

Seeing the commander who was trying to fire the Siege Thunder God this time, he came over. The two Vekia guards who were adjusting the angle of the Siege Thunder God's launch according to the instructions quickly spit out what they were doing and straightened up to salute him.

The faces of these two guards were covered with beads of sweat. In the cold night, hot steam was hovering above their heads. The weight of a siege thunder god almost reached about 1,500 kilograms. To carry such a heavy It's a very laborious task to move and adjust the big guy. Not to mention Utukul, even the captain of the guard who was responsible for helping was tired and covered in sweat and mud at this moment, and he waved weakly to this side.

Utukul walked back and forth curiously around a big guy. He couldn't figure it out. It looked like it should be a Thor. It had a bulky Thor cannon barrel. These were all characteristics of the Thor cannon, but its caliber was also accurate. It's scary. I guess there are at least two adults.

The barrel is not generally short, but very short. It is half shorter than the ordinary Thor cannon barrel. It looks strange and does not look like a cannon. If a Thor has such a huge muzzle, then it will The gun barrel is at least ten meters away. That is simply unimaginable. The huge recoil during launch will directly cause the Thor Cannon to fall apart.

At this time, the Guards squadron leader in charge of escorting came over and said,

"Is this the God of Thunder?" Utukul asked with some embarrassment. As a commander, he didn't even know his own weapon. It was quite embarrassing, but it will be used tomorrow. If something goes wrong, it would be a huge blow. Thousands of people are fighting. Every time I think of this, the innocent Utukul cannot sleep peacefully.

"Yes, it's Thor!"

The pale-faced Guards squadron leader answered him affirmatively, "This is a siege thunder god specially invented by the Zhivadin Military Research Institute to attack strong castles and fortresses! So it looks very different from ordinary thunder gods. But... It is still a Thor, because it is also a device that launches Thor bombs. Although its size looks very scary, its function is the same as the principle of the deflection thunder used by your navy. You can think of it as a deflection thunder. The advanced type! ".

From the narration of the captain of the Guards Squadron, Utukul learned that these 12 siege thundergods were all weapons of mass destruction put into the battlefield for the first time. They had only been tested once before, which made Utukul feel a little speechless.

"What, just, pulled it out after only one test firing?" Utukul, with an ugly face, pointed at the muzzle of the short-barreled Thor's gun and said excitedly, "You know the muzzle of such a large-caliber gun has How big is the charge? I dare to say that if it explodes on the spot, all life within 100 meters will be destroyed!"

Looking at the unconcerned Guards squadron leader across from him, Utukul said in a serious tone, "Even if you are wearing armor, it will turn into minced meat. The test weapons and the real battlefield are two different things. From our hypothetical artillery point to the upcoming The straight line position to launch an attack on Laiming City is about 50 meters. Such a long distance requires the artillery shells to hit the target accurately, and it is also the most difficult project at an elevation angle of 50 degrees. To be honest, I have no confidence at all!

"You look a little nervous." The Guards Squadron Leader's eyes were as bright as light. He stretched out his palm with a thick fur pad and patted his thin shoulder heavily.

"The Grand Duke's order only requires you to fire one-tenth of these shells into the confines of Laiming Castle to count as a success! After all, this is just an experiment. If it explodes unfortunately, it will be unlucky for you and me! As those who will participate in the battle tomorrow As a member, I only need to let the cannonballs fall on the enemy's head in advance as we advance. This is the only wish for me and all the soldiers who will participate in the siege tomorrow, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, just like you This is just an experimental weapon!"

"The guards of your Duke's Palace also want to participate in the battle?" Utukul asked curiously with a surprised look on his face. You must know that the guards of the Duke's Palace are a transcendent existence in the Vekia army, unless ordered by the Grand Duke, like this Rarely will local legionnaires take part in the attack

"Of course!" the Guards squadron leader shrugged, showed a sneer to Utukul, and stroked the barrel of a short-barreled Thor gun next to him. "As you said, you are considering exploding the barrel, so this time the gunners are all Our guards are all unique warriors. They received certain training and wrote their wills in advance before coming. Because the quality of this kind of super thunder god is indeed not very good, and it may destroy people at any time. ."

"So, please just give the order without hesitation!" The Guards Squadron Leader's voice stopped, he suddenly stood up straight, and said in a very serious tone, "If fate is destined to let us enter glory, then it will never Fear of death!"

Utukul was silent again. He wanted to say that this was too much, but looking at the decisive face of the Guards Squadron Leader, he really couldn't say this.

"Okay, I will do my best!

After a while, Utukul nodded with a serious look on his face. The guard captain's answer reminded him of his former bad-tempered Captain Fry. A bold guy who always likes to rush forward regardless, several times. They almost fell victim to the guns of their own colleagues.

During the anxious and long wait, the golden morning light finally jumped out from the distant horizon. First there was a gorgeous red light, and then a hot and cold red fireball emerged half the head, like a gentle mother combining her light and Heat is thrown to the ground beneath your feet,

The hazy light is like a wave that keeps moving forward, driving away the floating clouds on the horizon. Light and darkness are like a pair of partners tracking each other, turning the vast land under your feet into two halves of mixed light and dark.

The tall city wall of Laiming City reflects the dark light in the morning light, which is very shocking to people. In this semi-plain and semi-mountainous area, this thorn-like existence is indeed too conspicuous. No one can help it. Noticing its existence, even a blind man can feel its control over this land.

Those thick granite stones revealed their ferocious faces in the sun, condescendingly scorning the entire line of Northern troops in front of them. The entire Laiming Defense Line was like an eagle with its wings spread, firmly attached to the mountainside, watching with the same condescension. He looked at the vast wilderness around him.

"50 meters ahead, angle 54, ready for test firing!"

Utukul, who held his rangefinder flat, once again confirmed the distance to Laiming City in the distance. Although these data were already familiar by heart, at this moment, he was a range finder and the soul of the entire Thor force. Any negligence will be compensated for with more blood and lives

He stood on the left side of the siege thunder cannon with a serious face, raising his right hand high, and the howling mountain wind blew his collar.

The cold dew shone coldly under his feet, a thin layer of mist, and round, crystal-clear dewdrops hung on the damp weed stems and leaves below.

The grass is about to fall, emitting colorful light under the golden sunshine,

"Let go!" Utukul yelled with all his strength, and suddenly lowered his raised right hand, drawing a shadow in the air, and struggled to say a word from his teeth.

"Boom!" A huge sound like rolling thunder spread across the earth, like rolling spring thunder exploding in the sky and like a torrential flood swarming in.

The top of the mountain is filled with white smoke,

With the huge flames spewing out from the siege thunder gods, the dry weeds and broken sand and gravel began to shake. Because of the violent shaking, the sand and spirit stones in the grass seemed to be dancing, and they were constantly being shaken. He jumped up in shock, then fell down again. It's like there are many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down, and it's like boiling water dancing.

In an instant, the soldiers of the Northern Army below instinctively covered their ears. Many of them were shaken by the sound of the gunshots coming out of the blue, their faces turned pale, and they almost fainted on the spot.

A group of heavy infantry in the front line was caught off guard, and the siege shield in their hands fell to the ground. It seemed to vibrate violently at this moment, and the sun rising in the distance completely lost its brilliance.

"Bang!" The telescope in Utukul's hand couldn't help but fell down, hitting his chest hard, and the membranes were shaken and buzzed. For a few minutes, nothing could be heard.

The muzzles of these behemoth siege guns spit out a ball of dazzling flames, which seemed to illuminate the entire vast wilderness.
