Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 112 Chibi
Although a considerable part of the self-made crossbows in the empire are weapons that are powerful but not accurate, and Hammers rely entirely on the luck of character, but the famous "Cromwell Annihilator" is obviously not among them;
Decades ago, when the "Cromwell Annihilator" ballista was just developed and entered the battlefield, it was once used by the Imperial Army for beheading operations because of its high accuracy:

The previous Grand Commander of the Glorious Federation, von Wyckema, was suddenly broken by a "Cromwell Annihilator" crossbow bolt that penetrated the frontline headquarters, and eventually died of wound infection.

Although it is indeed a gamble to accurately hit the enemy leader inspecting the front line, it is also an indisputable fact that the "Cromwell Annihilator" hit the orc frontline headquarters impartially after being adjusted by the military engineer. fact.

As for the bed crossbow on Xia Houyan’s own roof, although the accessories have undergone various replacements, the most core part of the crossbow that has the greatest impact on accuracy is still the genuine original product of the "Cromwell Annihilator"——

Compared with the original "Cromwell Annihilator", its firing accuracy is not far behind!

Driven by wind runes, it might be a bit difficult for the "Molotov rocket" to hit the enemy infantry team slowly advancing towards the Phoenix Terrace and cause mass destruction;
But if you set the target as the three huge ballistas pushed from Yanxi City, it would be shameful not to hit them.

Under the influence of the shadow magic "Sight of Breaking the Curtain", these three heavy siege weapons could hardly hide in the dark night, they were as conspicuous as naked pigs rushing into the stadium at the World Cup final...

Ethan Garcia, deputy knight commander of the "Pride of the South" Knights in Rock Creek City, was lucky, because the "Molotov rocket" that was burning with raging flames and had a temperature of thousands of degrees on the surface did not directly kill him. body as the target;

But the entire "Southern Pride" knight order is undoubtedly unfortunate:

Because under Xia Houyan's instruction, Master Kobe directly used the wooden ballista in the middle as a shooting target——

The roaring "Molotov rocket", with the power of the east wind, made a violent sound of piercing through the air, trailing a trail of scorching flames, like a white rainbow penetrating the sun, directly smashed through the body of the ballista, and then slammed into the sky. Slammed into the desolate land of the wasteland!
The wooden body of the ballista was not even broken by the arrow body of the crossbow arrow, but was directly broken into countless pieces of wood and iron by the strong wind pressure from the arrow;

The few "Pride of the South" knights who were closest to the ballista had not had time to feel the hot temperature of the vine tree fuel with their skin, and were directly hit by the flying wood blocks, powerful shock waves, and the body of the ballista that bloomed like flowers. , knocking out a groan of bruises, fractures, concussions—

The primary target of a heavy bed crossbow like the "Cromwell Annihilator" is not the human body, but buildings and siege equipment of similar size!

If it is on a regular battlefield, the imperial army's ballistas, ballistas, trebuchets and other valuable weapons will not only be placed in the blind shooting area of ​​the enemy's projectiles, but also often arrange some magicians next to them, using magic barriers to form cover ;
However, Garcia's Deputy Knight Commander and his Knights believed too much in their "secret actions".

Under the starry night of the wilderness, they never expected that their whereabouts would be discovered by Shuangfengling because of a magical porcupine that slipped through the net, and the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest...

What they didn't expect was that under the multiple blessings of Luna Village bed crossbow, wind runes, magic scrolls and vine fuel oil, at least in this short moment, the long-range strike range of the Phoenix Terrace was already within the arena of life-and-death wars. Come on, leave them far behind!
It was because of their carelessness that Garcia even casually arranged the advancing ballista directly in front of the team. As a result, it was more convenient for Master Kobe and these non-professional engineers to aim and correct.

The only thing that Garcia is lucky for is that he has been following the ballista in the south——

——If the ballista beside him was replaced by the one in the middle, then the leader of the crusade team would be the first to lose consciousness due to the shock wave hit by the ballista.

But even so, the nightmare of "Pride of the South" has just begun.

The bed crossbow on the roof of "Horned Eagle Manor" did not shoot ordinary heavy crossbow bolts, but "Molotov rockets" that were soaked in vine tree fuel and bursting with raging flames!
During the short period of time in the air, the rocket body structure of the "Molotov rocket" has been destroyed by burning. Therefore, when it hits the ballista and hits the ground, it does not penetrate the ground like ordinary crossbow bolts, but the entire body It disintegrated, and the burning fragments sputtered out aimed at the knights around the bullet point, causing the second wave of damage after the ballista exploded——

In order to hide their identities, this group of "Pride of the South" members did not wear standard armor with obvious flame-retardant and protective effects, but casually put on bandit-style cotton-padded leather armor;

The flame fragments splashed out, and the cutting injuries caused were second to none. There were already a few unlucky ghosts, and one of them didn't react in a daze. As a result, they were directly lit into burning human candles by the [-]-degree heat of Fujimoto's fuel oil;
Not to mention the wreckage of the ballista that was directly hit, and the flames were so high that no one picked up the firewood, soaring into the sky!

——In order to attack the Phoenix Terrace with fire, the ballista was originally equipped with imperial-style incendiary bombs. As a result, this batch of ammunition reserves resolutely turned against the water in the flames, and it was added to the burning ballista with a sudden explosion and oil leakage. lit a fire;

Stopped in the middle of the wilderness, I just love to burn the wreckage of the ballista. It's like a giant bonfire, and like a flare, it lights up a large area with a scorching fire, turning the "Southern Territory" before it has time to deal with it. "Proud" crusade team all photos came out!
How can there be any night surprise attack?
Where else is there any covert action?
The knights of Rock Creek City, whose cheeks were flushed by the flames, are the most beautiful boys in the wasteland of the Land of Cracking Soul at this moment!
Ethan Garcia opened his mouth as if his jaw was dislocated, and looked at the burning ballista not far away, choking speechlessly. Hot and cold sweat rolled down from his forehead at the same time, and was quickly evaporated by the scorching heat in the air.

He gradually understood everything.

It turned out that the other party had already discovered himself.

It turned out that the opponent's strike range even exceeded his own ballista.

The original planned sneak attack in the dark was simply a joke.

It turned out that they were pushing the ballista forward slowly in vain, but they were nothing but moving targets in Shuangfengling's eyes.

Ethan Garcia suddenly knew what to do.

He pulled out the saber from the ballista beside him, strode up to a knight who was hit by flame fragments on his left chest and was rolling and mourning on the ground, and slashed at the neck, ending the pain for the opponent.

Then, facing the "Pride of the South" knights with panic, fear and anger on their faces under the light of the fire, Ethan Garcia raised his saber and shouted hoarsely:

"The bastards from Shuangfengling have found us! All of them, light the torches for me, leave the baggage behind, and mount the horse to charge!"

……

on the other side of the battlefield.

Now there is no need for the lord's "sight to break the curtain", all the scum of Shuangfengling can clearly see the death bonfire party 1000 meters away with only their naked eyes.

"They are getting on their horses, as if they are about to charge!" the sharp-eyed Chris Mann reminded.

"Sure enough, the heart of self-destruction will not die..." Xia Houyan smacked his lips, turned his head and looked behind him, and shouted, "How are your preparations going?"

"Don't worry, it will be ready soon!" Master Kobe was leading a few apprentices, while squatting on the ground and pouring vine oil into the pigskin water bag, he replied loudly.
