Warhammer Wizard

"Rune Cannon!"

Kostarkin let out a surprised cry, then unsure, curiosity written all over his face.

He is one of the only rune lords among the dwarves, and his forging technology and rune knowledge are top-notch. In terms of knowledge and profoundness, he is not much worse than the Holy Soul Wizard, or even better.

Dwarves developed artillery technology in the third era. Over the past few hundred years, many dwarf craftsmen have learned soul gun technology from humans, promoting the progress of ancient dwarf muskets, and artillery technology with similar principles has also been rejuvenated and matured.

Kstarkin was very good at casting rune cannons. At the beginning of the construction of the city wall, he proposed to Rennes to add rune cannons on the wall, but Ren refused.

He thought that Ren felt that the rune artillery was too expensive, and now he knew that Ren had a replacement for the artillery.

After taking a closer look, I found that this thing is somewhat similar in appearance to the rune artillery, but there are actually essential differences.

The most notable difference is the barrel.

The barrel of the rune artillery is very thick, it can be stuffed into a person, and the length is less than three meters, which looks extremely bulky.

The weapon that Renn took out has a barrel that is nearly five meters long, only slightly thicker than the arm. It is dark and straight, with a smooth surface, and the diameter is not fixed. It has a square solid metal casing and is housed in a rotatable spherical shield.

This spherical shield is made of gray metal and has a diameter of about two meters. Kerstarkin can't see the structure inside the shield, but it can be judged that this pole cannon can be rotated at all angles on the horizontal plane, and can also be raised and raised. It's so big that it can almost hit the target directly above.

The spherical shield is engraved with dense runes and scribed lines, flowing with obscure blue energy.

Kstarkin was well-informed and knew it was a Titan rune!

The barrel and shield were mounted on a huge base, the base of the cube was so high that the dwarf could not reach the upper edge on tiptoe. Kstarkin touched it with his hand, and immediately recognized that it was cast with some kind of magic alloy. There was no gap in the whole body. Obviously, the most important secret of this weapon was hidden inside.

"Such a superb forging process..."

Kerstarkin started to touch it, and after careful observation, he was immediately amazed: "It's such a unique casting style, I've never seen it before!"

The first impression this weapon gave him was that it was simple and sharp, without any decoration. It didn't look like a creation born from a forge at all. There was no trace of being struck by a hammer, but it revealed a brilliant design everywhere, containing profound Wisdom crystallized.

Kostarkin felt an icy beauty, and every detail of it was designed to exert the greatest effect and cause the greatest damage.

The only purpose of this thing's existence is to kill!

He was almost intoxicated.

Even if he has not seen its power, this unique design, which is very different from the Alanus races, can bring him a lot of inspiration, and the power is definitely not bad.

Blestein's forging technology is not as good as Kostarkin's, but his vision is not bad, and he also feels a powerful and fierce aura.

The two dwarves looked at Ren eagerly, hoping he could answer.

Ren smiled proudly.

"It's really a type of artillery, but it's different from the rune cannon. I named it..." He paused, thinking he wanted to say "laser cannon", but there is no "laser" in either Imperial or Dwarven language. This word, this concept is also very troublesome to explain.

"Light Cannon."

Ryan changed to a more understandable name.

This is the result of more than half a month of research and development by him and more than 20 Lei Zhu Tianbing. The prototype is the concept of "laser cannon" in the previous life, a directed energy weapon that only exists in science fiction film and television works!

The laser cannons on the earth are just prototypes, with average lethality and many defects.

But in Alanus, a world full of extraordinary power and magical materials, Ren easily overcame many difficulties in making laser cannons.

In many cases, what a new invention lacks is not the idea, but the conditions for its realization.

He used magic, rune and alchemy materials, combined with a split-brain chip, to create this magical version of the laser cannon in just over half a month, and after testing it, it may not be as powerful as the lasers on those interstellar battleships. Cannon, but in the world of Alanus, it is definitely a new weapon that has never been seen before.

"Light Cannon..."

The two dwarves' eyes lit up, thinking about the deep meaning of the name.

"Install it first." Ren selected a location on the city wall, waved a few dwarf craftsmen, and quickly built a new turret on this section of the city wall.

The turret is about ten meters higher than the city wall, the bottom is as wide as the city wall, and a wide passage is left in the middle, which will not hinder the smooth flow of the city wall. The interior of the turret is solid, and the wall becomes narrower as it goes up, eventually forming a square platform with a side length of five meters.

The dwarven artisans carved a runic circle on the surface of the turret, which merged with the entire city wall and became as hard as steel, able to resist the bombardment of spell energy.

Ren put the electro-optical cannon into the nebula ring, flew it up, and put it into the pit on the platform. The two were perfectly inlaid together.

Then he took out dozens of tons of steel, softened it with activated metal, covered the base of the gun and the platform underfoot, and wrapped the upper half of the turret with metal to make it more stable.

Kostarkin looked up at the tall turret with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ren, why don't you dig steps in the wall so that the artilleryman can go up?" He couldn't see clearly, and asked, "There is no place to stay around it, where is the artilleryman standing?"

"Light cannons don't need artillerymen." Ren shook his head and replied.

Kerstarkin's eyes widened, "How can you fire without a gunner?"

"It's fully automatic."

As soon as Ren's voice fell, the electro-optical cannon was activated.

The wall of the turret vibrated slightly, and a low roar came from it. The dwarves saw hundreds of runes light up on the shield of the electro-optical cannon. .

At the same time, there were streaks of blue light surging on the dark barrel.

There was a rustling sound in the air.

The armor on the dwarves, the tools and weapons in their hands, were all paralyzed by an electric shock, the hairs on the whole body also stood up, and there were faint lightning beats in the thick beards, and an indescribable feeling enveloped the surroundings.

The hemispherical shield suddenly turned, and the gun barrel also turned a few times.

At least the tens of thousands of pounds of metal gun barrels have a sense of lightness and flexibility. The rotation speed is very fast. Sometimes it is raised to the maximum elevation angle, and sometimes it is lowered, or the angle is adjusted slightly, suddenly stopped, and aimed at a distant target. .

Kerstarkin watched the turret adjust, creating an illusion.

It seems that this is not a cannon, but a living creature, and inside the heavy metal structure, there is a soul with a high degree of intelligence hidden.

The six red crystals inlaid around the shield are its eyes.

The energy source installed in the base of the turret is its heart!

"Sir, let's try it out."

Blestein said what all the dwarves were present, Ren glanced at them, the corners of his mouth rose, and he decided to satisfy their curiosity.

"it is good."

Ren nodded lightly.

Immediately, the dwarves heard a sharp growl.

shhhhhhhh…

They had never heard this kind of sound, it was so dense that it overlapped, like thunder, but they couldn't describe it accurately.

The muzzle blasted out a blue beam of light like a storm, the speed was faster than lightning, and it was difficult for even eyes to chase.

In the blink of an eye, several beams shot into the twisted and dark woods across the strait, and then sent out a series of explosions.

With the rumbling sound, large tracts of trees fell, exposing the charred ground.

"hiss…"

"Moradin is on!"

"Mother God..."

The dwarves gasped in unison, some screamed in surprise, some were stunned, and some were too shocked to speak.

Kerstarkin visually inspected the bombed forest and said incredulously: "The range is more than 4,000 blades!"

A "blade" is a dwarven unit of distance, with a blade roughly equal to half a meter.

Ren nodded, Kstarkin's visual observation was very accurate, the effective range of the electro-optical cannon can reach two kilometers, but this is only the range of one of the firing modes. The electro-optical cannon has three firing modes, with different range and distance.

His thoughts moved, and the electro-optical cannon that had just stopped roared again.

Thunder boomed.

A beam of light was ejected from the muzzle, firing continuously at a frequency of ten times per second.

The muzzle was slowly turned, and the line of fire formed by the beam moved along with it. The landing point of each beam was within control. In just ten seconds, the forest on the other side fell down like cutting wheat, and a beam of hundreds of meters long appeared. charred clearing.

Most dwarves couldn't see how many beams of light were shot out in these ten seconds.

But judging from the damage done, each beam is at least equivalent to a third-level spell!

The dwarves were stunned, unable to even shout in surprise.

Hundreds of third-level spells were released in such a short period of time, the range is still so far, and it is so accurate... Not to mention ordinary dwarf warriors, even legendary steel shield guards, under the muzzle of the electro-optical cannon, will be instantly destroyed. torn to shreds.

Ren looked at the dumbfounded dwarves, laughed secretly, and controlled the electro-optical cannon to switch to the second firing mode.

A low-pitched energy whistle came from the hemispherical shield, and the huge energy flow turned the gun barrel blue.

Three seconds later, a dark blue ray was ejected.

This time, the firing was no longer a high frequency like a storm, but a continuous ray, like a beam of light, the diameter was thicker than a dwarf's thigh, and bursts of tortuous lightning kept bursting out.

The ray penetrated the air, slanted downward, and hit the ground a thousand meters away.

There was a fire soon, the surrounding trees burned, the mud and rocks on the ground were melted, and in a few seconds it turned into a lava pool.

The muzzle turned, and the rays swept across the sky like a thousand-meter-long sword.

Wherever he passed, the trees were cut neatly.

The ray lasted for eight seconds before it stopped, and the barrel returned to black. Even if it was more than ten meters away, the heat from the muzzle could be felt.

"Electric light rays!"

The dwarves were silent until Kostarkin made a sound, a look of understanding on his face.

He had already recognized the spell cast by the electro-optical cannon.

It's electro-optical rays.

The high-frequency firing just now also shot out electro-optical rays, but the speed was too fast. The electro-optical rays of the lowest three rings were compressed and released a dozen times in one second, achieving the same powerful effect as artillery bombing.

The second continuous sweep is the original form of the electric light ray, but the power is similar to that of the seventh-level spell.

However, the range of the electro-optical cannon is more than ten times!

Kerstarkin couldn't understand how Ren did it?

He also has electro-optic rays. If it is controlled in the third ring, it can also be instantly fired, but it cannot be fired more than ten times in a second, or even three times. This is far beyond the limit of ordinary people's thinking speed. Even more incredible.

Where does the energy of the electric cannon come from? How does it work?

There were countless questions in Kerstarkin's mind.

Yet this is not the end.

The electro-optical cannon was silent for half a minute, as if it was waiting for the barrel to cool down, and suddenly it started running again.

A group of blue light appeared at the muzzle, but it was not emitted. It quickly condensed into a larger light group, and countless energy was poured into it. The light group became bigger and bigger, and the electric light became more and more dazzling, like a small sun People can't look directly.

The dwarves held their breaths and stared intently.

Finally, after twelve seconds, there was a rumbling sound, like a thunderbolt blasting in the ears, causing the dwarves to cover their ears subconsciously, and couldn't help but track the spot of the light.

Half a second later, a violent beam of light erupted in the field of vision.

Everyone closed their eyes.

A shocking explosion sounded immediately, followed by a strong shock wave. The city wall under construction trembled, but fortunately it was far away and no damage was caused.

When the explosion subsided, the dwarves saw a large clearing in the forest three kilometers away.

Everything within 100 meters of the blast site was destroyed.

There was a deep pit in the middle of the clearing, and the forest a hundred meters away fell down radioactively, as if it had been bombed by a meteorite.

"This…"

All the dwarves who saw this scene were frightened, their lips trembled, and they all stopped their work.

"This has the power of the ninth-ring spell!"

Kerstarkin could hardly believe his eyes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

No wonder Ren said it was not the same as the rune artillery, and the rune artillery was not so scary at all.

Such a terrifying blow, even though it is still some kind of change pattern of electric light rays, has reached the formidable power of a ninth-ring spell!

He turned his head sharply to look at Ren, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Ren, the electro-optical cannon is the most powerful artillery in the world! No, it is the most powerful weapon in the world!" Kstarkin's voice trembled, and in a tone of worship, he said loudly: "If You can teach me the manufacturing method and principle of the electric light cannon, and I am willing to swear to you in the name of God, to be your follower for life!"

Not only Kstarkin, but also many dwarves also moved and hurriedly selected them.

Apparently, they had the same idea as Kstarkin.
