Chapter 721: Artillery Strike

When the soldiers of the First Army climbed the city wall in a neat procession, Philin Silt was a little surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a former star knight in the West, he is familiar with knight training, and naturally knows how difficult it is to keep a group of people neat on the march. Whether it is a knight or a mercenary, when being inspected by the lord, the number of people in a row will basically not exceed five, because the horizontal line is too long, it is easy to stagger the front and back, and in the eyes of the people in the distance, it will become a mess, which is really unsightly.

The larger the number, the more difficult it is to control, but this group of soldiers numbered more than a hundred, more than a dozen in both horizontal and vertical directions, and with the uniform color of clothing and the bright ribbon that ran diagonally across the chest, it looked like a phalanx moving as a whole.

This sense of visual impact gives Filmin an unstoppable momentum - once he can maintain his formation, the advantage of being large is vividly manifested.

This can also be seen from the enthusiastic response of the masses around him.

"Look at the third row, that's my kid!"

"They're walking so neatly!"

"It's like being a person!"

"If the two armies are facing each other, I'm afraid the enemy will be scared just by seeing this posture. ”

"Ha, I think I should have fled when I heard His Majesty's name. ”

"What's the name of this piece?"

"I don't know, but ...... I feel empowered!"

"That's Miss Echo's magic effect. ”

"It's a shame that Maye couldn't see this with her own eyes," said Erin, holding Dawn's arms, "and if it were her, she would have been able to recreate this exciting scene in the play." ”

"She's pregnant, of course she can't stand on the city wall to blow the cold wind with you," Fei Lin smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance in the future." I'm willing to bet that there will only be more and more of this in the future. ”

Whether it's a knight's review or an artillery drill, it's a means for the lord to show his strength, and the strength that Neverwinter has accumulated so far is beyond anyone's imagination. There are many more territories that His Majesty can conquer, and with such a team, it is not surprising that even the four kingdoms will be brought under his rule at that time. In order to convince people, similar displays are naturally necessary.

"Honey, do you want to join this team too?" she asked coldly.

"What?" Dawn was stunned.

"I can feel it," Erin smiled at him, "your heart is beating so fast right now." ”

Is that so...... Fei Lin exhaled white gas, so it was, even if his father didn't say that at the time, he probably wouldn't be a teacher for the rest of his life.

Sir Sylt was right, if he had been so fond of books, he would not have decided to become a knight in the first place, and he would have taken it to the extreme, becoming a household name for the dawn of the morning.

The army is the best place for him.

He wanted to follow the First Army, become His Majesty's sword, fight everywhere, and expand the territory of the kingdom to an unprecedented situation.

Although His Majesty had said that the surrendered knights would never again have the opportunity to take up arms, according to my father, there were other ways to join the First Army.

I don't know what His Majesty's staff has developed into now?

He looked at the artillerymen who had entered the firing position, as if he saw his future self.

......

The music stopped.

This is an indication of the preparation for firing.

Vanna gave the order to aim at the target.

The six fortress cannons placed in the widened area of the city wall dropped their barrels one after another, pointing at the cage three hundred meters away - at a distance the shells barely fell, but flew in a straight line towards the target. Since the beast's body doesn't always trigger the fuse, the muzzle of the cannon is lower, trying to get the cannonball into the snow under the cage.

"Well, this guy is ugly," Nelson whistled, his gun crew aimed at a large wolf-bear species, who probably had a premonition that something was wrong, and struggled to break free from the chains, his huge body slamming into the cage.

"Seriously," Vanna frowned, "this isn't your usual training, everybody's watching us." ”

"I feel a little nervous," Catpaw's voice stiffened slightly, "I'm going to pee when I'm stared at by so many people......"

This remark aroused the same sentiment of many people.

"Yes, it's even more uncomfortable than facing the charge of the Dukes. ”

"If you don't hit, you'll be laughed at by the whole city. ”

"Just do what you did in the previous drill, don't talk nonsense!" Vanna glared at Catpaw, "Don't confuse live ammunition with headless ammunition, and when something goes wrong, just wait for confinement." Now, reload!"

After entering the loading process, the scene suddenly became busy, no matter what mood they were in, and all of them had memorized their movements after a long period of training, even with their eyes closed.

The loading process of the 152-mm fortress gun was much faster than that of the twelve-pounder field gun, and after all six guns were ready, the countdown of iron axes was heard from the city.

"Ten, Nine, Eight......"

The noise of the audience also stopped abruptly, as if they were waiting for the moment when the guns burst into flames and thunder.

But Vanna's heart was unexpectedly calm, looking at the wild roaring beast in the cage, he thought of his brother who died of hunger and cold in his arms four years ago, he thought of practicing day and night to eat one more egg, and he thought of the days when he held a spear and fought with the evil beast on the rough stone wall.

The changes that have taken place in the past few years are vivid.

"Five, Four, Three......"

He was originally just an ordinary miner in the old neighborhood of the border town, and it was not until His Majesty said the phrase "I am optimistic about you, do a good job", that he made up his mind to stay in the militia and fight to defend His Majesty's territory from the invasion of evil beasts. But even so, he didn't expect to get to where he is today.

Vanna turned his head to look at the gray-haired man in the distance, Roland Wimbledon, who was so calm that he would not take a step back as long as His Majesty stood behind him, no matter what kind of enemy he was facing.

β€œ...... Two, one! Fire!"

"Fire!"

Vanna threw his arm down.

The six fortress cannons spewed out long flames and green smoke at the same time, and the huge roar caused the snow on the wall to turn into flying white mist, and the distance of three hundred meters was almost blinking, and when people heard the deafening sound of shelling, the cannonballs had already fallen in front of the mixed beast.

The compressed fuse triggered the double-base gunpowder in the warhead, and in an instant six pillars of mud were raised in the snow, tearing the wooden cage to shredsβ€”the beast's seemingly sturdy body was like a piece of paper in the face of the rampaging waves, and the scraps of wood mixed with steaming flesh soared into the sky, and intestines and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

The crowd erupted in frenzied cheers.
