Compared to the lotus who looked at it from afar, Sylvie saw it more realistically. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Through the walls of the earthen house, she could see the soldiers going about their work in an orderly manner, each doing a single repetitive action, but seven or eight people joined together to form a complex whole. Paper bags and iron balls piled up at the back of the chamber were fed into the thick iron pipes of the door, and then erupted with thunder.

Upon closer inspection, Sylvie noticed that the soldier had lit a rope at the end of the pipe, and the leaping sparks had spurted into the pipe, leading to the paper bag that had been filled first. The next moment of light made her squint her eyes, and the spark quickly expanded into an orange-red fireball, filling every pore in the tube. The expanding flames had nowhere to go, so they had to wrap the iron ball and run outward, throwing it out like a giant hand!

In the blink of an eye, the iron ball turned into a black shadow and slammed straight into the sailboat in the river. It was so powerful that it drilled a fist-sized hole directly into the side of the ship, which was made of wooden planks. Although the speed slowed down after penetrating the plank, the power was still not to be underestimated, and an enemy who was about to climb out of the cabin was hit by a stopper, breaking in two.

This was the first time Sylvie had seen such a scene - no need for a sharp blade or blade, a small ball alone could split a man in two.

Her gaze was so close that she felt that the blood and internal organs of the slain had been splattered on her, and several more people were then hit by iron balls, either severing their limbs or shattering their heads. For a moment, the cabin was full of blood and red and white organs.

The witch suddenly felt a churn in her stomach, and a stream of acid rushed to her throat.

The scene in the cabin of the "...... Vomit" vanished abruptly—the chaotic thoughts were no longer able to sustain their abilities, and Sylvie was forced to cut off the connection with the True Eye and throw it out.

"What's wrong?" Lian, who was taken aback, immediately stepped forward to support her, "Are you okay?"

His Royal Highness also noticed her discomfort and handed over a handkerchief, "If you feel bloody, don't look at it yet, at least don't use your ability to see it up close." Let's take a break. ”

"Thank you......" Sylvie took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "I'm fine." ”

This is probably the incredible invention that Maisie and Lightning talked about, but at the time people didn't listen to it much, or didn't pay attention to it at all. After all, it is difficult to imagine such an amazing weapon in your mind until you have seen it with your own eyes.

She looked back at the battlefield and saw that Tifeko's fleet was beginning to approach both sides of the river—apparently aware that the stormy attack was coming from behind the low houses on the shore disguised as dirt slopes. However, the other party did not know that His Royal Highness Roland had arranged far more fortifications than this.

At a distance from the V-shaped line of defense, there were bunkers covered with weeds and vines, the distance between them was exactly the length of the convoy. Unless they do not hesitate to turn the bow of the ship and withdraw directly, they will only fall into the trap of flanking the front and rear at any point.

The soldier in the bunker also holds a long, round iron rod, which fires instead of a round iron ball, but a sharp, tailless bolt. They don't look as unstoppable as the Iron Ball, but their targets have been replaced by flesh and blood that don't have an inch of armor.

Sylvie guessed that the enemy was trying to wait until they had come ashore to form a group before counterattacking, but the soldiers in the bunker didn't give them that chance - just like the previous strikes, they didn't even have to show their heads, they just aimed their weapons at their targets, easily pulled the trigger, and the crossbow bolts rained down on their opponents.

Faced with such a weapon that fired quickly and did not need to be wound, the enemy did not last long before the whole line collapsed. Those who got off the boat wanted to get back on board, while those who stood on the side of the boat and waited for the disembarkers to flee in all directions. During the sharp swing of the ship's hull, the gangplank overturned into the water, and many people who fell into the water were killed while climbing the side of the boat, and the scene was chaotic.

"It's time," said the prince, who put down his lookout glasses and ordered the iron axe, "take your reserves and clear the battlefield, and if their leading horsemen are lucky enough not to die, catch them alive as much as they can, I want to ask them some questions." ”

"Yes," the latter saluted.

Then he looked at Sylvie, "Go with the Iron Axe, and don't let anyone slip away." ”

Sylvie nodded, and followed the First Army commander out of the observation post. She suddenly understood why His Royal Highness Roland dared to openly shelter witches in a corner of the mainland...... With such a powerful force, the Church may not be able to defeat him easily even if it dispatches the Divine Punishment Army. If Mistress Tilly had such a weapon, the witches might be able to return home one day.

Looking at the sailboat paralyzed on the riverbank, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time they were about to land and counterattack, their defeat was almost certain - it was a very slow process to turn the bow of the boat with the poles and oarsmen, and it was probably because the other side did not choose to turn around and evacuate under the artillery strike. Rather than being beaten in vain, it is better to quickly land and then organize a drug team to fight back.

The solid iron ball of the twelve-pounder field gun could hardly completely sink a wooden sailing ship, and even if the hull was punched with holes, it would not affect its continued afloat on the water. Therefore, turning the bow of the ship may cause serious losses, but one or two sailing ships can always escape, and if you choose to land, you will only be wiped out.

Compared to the last raid on the fortress and the defense of the town, this time the enemy did not even show up for an effective attack - presumably the pills were usually controlled by the commander, and would not be distributed to the militia until before the battle, and it was impossible to respond quickly in the event of an ambush.

It was not until late evening that the work of clearing the battlefield came to an end.

Iron Axe and guards pressed the two captives into the camp.

Before Roland could open his mouth to ask, one of them had already shouted loudly, "I am Sir Snarke, Your Highness, please allow me to write a letter to the family, and they will surely give a rich ransom." ”

"I am the second son of the Strongshield House of the North, Elvin Sheid, Your Highness," said the other, "and I am willing to pay the ransom. ”

"So...... You led this attack?" Roland raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, no, the captain is Sir Vincent, but he's dead. Sir Snark twisted, "Your Highness, can you let your people untie my hands? ”

"I don't need a ransom," the prince shook his head, "the purpose of your visit to the West, your plans, and Tifeko's intentions...... Tell me what you know, and I may give you what you deserve. ”

"This ...... I beg my pardon for not being able to tell you," Snark said after a moment's hesitation.

"I have pledged allegiance to His Majesty Tifeco," the young knight of the Strongshield refused, "and it is against my oath to do so. ”

"Yes," Roland said disapprovingly, "let's take them down first." ”

After the guards left, he glanced at the iron axe, "I heard that you served as the patriarch's guard when you were in Iron Sand City, and you are very good at interrogating information?"

"Yes, Your Highness," replied Iron Axe, "very few people can hide information from me. ”

"Very well, these two will be handed over to you for interrogation," Roland turned, "There are no restrictions on the way and means, as long as you can get enough information." ”

He was stunned, "What about the ransom ......?"

"I said from the beginning, I don't need a ransom," Roland said in a cold tone, "After asking, let's treat it as if I was killed." ”

This is the end of the abductive civilians and the invasion of the West. He added in his heart. (To be continued.) )
