This round of shelling blew up all the gatehouses in the city of Ascatla, and all the checkpoints between the city and the city were reduced to rubble, and the soldiers of the knights stationed at the checkpoints were reduced to ashes in a daze, and they did not know what happened until they died.

Yao and Bruno, the master blacksmith of the Dwarves in the Mithril Squad, built an 81mm medium mortar and a 60mm light mortar under Io's direction.

Medium mortars have a range of about five thousand meters, and light mortars have a range of two kilometers.

These two types of artillery, especially the light mortar, were developed mainly to make up for the lack of effective killing spells of the Red Mage and the Red Priest, and to serve as an effective long-range suppression weapon for the Red Guerrillas.

The cast range of the Mages of the Continent of Faeron is limited, and the cast range of ranged spells is only 400 yards + 40 yards/cast level. One yard is about 0.3 meters, and a level 20 legendary mage can only attack up to 1200 yards, or 360 meters, unless he casts a unique legendary spell or has a spell range increase talent.

The range of the mortar is 5,000 meters and the range of 2,000 meters is many times this distance, and the use of mortars to shell beyond the casting distance of the mage will only face the situation of passive beating.

Mortar shell explosions produce a triple effect of fire, fragmentation and sonic damage, and if you load special shells, such as white phosphorus incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs, and acid bombs, you will have a wider variety of killing effects.

It is difficult for ordinary mages to open a shield that can defend against such a variety of compound damage, and it is difficult to survive being hit by a cannonball, even if they have previously cast a chain accident spell on themselves and can open multiple shields at the moment of attack.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of materials and processing technology, the mortars could not be mechanized in production, and the barrels of the six medium mortars used in this shelling were all forged by Bruno by hand.

However, this round of shelling was so effective that the soldiers of the Knights of Faerun, who had never encountered such an attack, were so dizzy that they didn't even realize what was going on.

The medium mortar's 81mm shells were far more powerful than the Crystal grenade, with a radius of 12 meters, and when the shells landed in the crowd, they were scattered with corpses and armor fragments.

Even if the armor was well-armed, the warrior who was a little farther away from the center of the explosion had no obvious injuries on his body, but he bled to death from the seven orifices, but he was shocked to death by the shock wave.

It was the shadow thieves who lit the smoke pipe in the city to guide the shelling, Arcanis infiltrated the city a few days ago, and saw the blood head of Reynolds, who provoked a group of good hands to cooperate with the actions of Arcanis, this group of shadow thieves elite stealth level is very high, familiar with the terrain of the city.

Arcanis trained them as artillery fire guides and ambushed them in the city's shadow thief hideouts, and when he lit the chimneys, they saw a red pillar of smoke rising in the sky and lit them near important targets in the city.

In addition to the gatehouses in various urban areas, the shadow thieves also kept an eye out for the Knights' temporary assembly points, where there were many soldiers, they lit smoke pipes to guide the artillery bombardment.

After the artillery bombardment, the soldiers of the Knights who rushed into the city of Ascatra suffered the heaviest casualties since the beginning of the war, and they stood in a dense formation at the assembly point, and when the shells whistled in the air and were about to hit the ground, the soldiers stood still and looked around.

Even if a shell fell into the crowd and exploded, the soldiers only knew how to run wildly, and did not understand that they should lie down and avoid shrapnel.

Chief Mage Ditra was in a small open square in the ghetto at the time of the bombardment, issuing an order to the soldiers assembled in the small square to arrest the leader of the uprising as soon as possible according to the arrest list.

When the whistle sounded in the air, the mage, who sensed the danger in the dark, immediately blessed himself with the ultimate barrier technique that was immune to all damage, and the cannonball exploded around him, shrapnel, flames and sound waves were blocked by the barrier, but the tremor of the earth made him have a preliminary understanding of the power of this inexplicable attack, and he was hiding in the barrier to watch a team of thousands of people turn into corpses in the artillery fire, and he was sweating in shock.

Is this magic? Or is it magic?

Rao is a knowledgeable archmage and doesn't know what's going on.

Not feeling the magic fluctuations, he could be sure that the violent explosion just now was definitely not caused by magic.

But the power of that round of explosions was comparable to several Nine Ring Spells and Dragon Breath Spells that exploded at the same time!

Elsewhere in the city, there was a muffled sound of explosions, and thick smoke and dust flew up, which could be seen from a long distance.

The chief mage immediately blessed himself with the advanced speed technique, and ran out of the city quickly, the ultimate barrier technique he remembered had been exhausted, the shelling lasted for ten rounds, and the ultimate barrier technique could only last four rounds, and the chief mage added three ultimate barrier techniques to himself to survive the shelling.

Another round of such an attack, 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 Iwaquan flee from the city on horseback under the protection of the general's guard, and General Iwaken was wounded, hit by shrapnel in his body, and his arm was also broken, hanging from his chest. His general's guard had twenty cavalrymen, but only eight of them fled with him.

"Lord Ditra, what just happened? Is there a legendary mage hidden in that mob? We're under attack by Dragon's Breath! The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and even many officers and mages were killed! ”

The Rock Fist General didn't care about his own injuries, and when he saw the chief mage Ditra, he hurriedly ran towards him, screaming in horror.

The chief mage grimaced and shook his head, "That's not the Dragon's Breath Technique...... It's more powerful than Dragon's Breath! It was probably another demonic weapon made by Bradero, and the crimson pillar of smoke was a precursor to the explosion of that weapon! ”

"It's terrifying, the soldiers have no resistance at all, the mid-level mages turned on the flame shield and the stone skin technique only to be shocked to death by the sound waves, in such a short period of time, we have lost thousands of people."

General Rock Fist said with palpitations: I have already ordered the soldiers who have entered the city to temporarily withdraw from this demonic city to hide, but more than half of the officers under my command have suffered casualties, and it is difficult to say whether the order can be conveyed. ”

"No, you can't let the soldiers out!" The chief mage said sharply: "This kind of weapon with a power comparable to a legendary spell, it is impossible to use it at will, it is impossible for anyone to use it, Bredrow may be in the city, it must be a killer trick performed by the demon himself, he just wants to scare us out of the city!" ”

The chief mage shouted: "All soldiers, don't retreat, attack me, charge me!" This is the best chance to eliminate Bredero! ”
