Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 104 Shelling
The family troops in the territory are mobilizing on a large scale.

This made the wolf-man, tiger-man and other family members eager to fight, who could only rely on military physical training to vent their desire for violence after the end of the Bolun Civil War three years ago, extremely excited.

Now they are fully armed with sophisticated standard fine steel armor and fine steel weapons, which are also enchanted with simplified versions of spells such as the power of the cow, the grace of the cat, and the deflection of arrows.

These simplified spell enchantments are not as powerful as second-level spells, but they are far stronger than first-level spells.

For these magical equipments capable of arming thousands of people, the Lord's Hall of Black Rock City invested a lot of gold coins.

These natural fighters are looking forward to a battle to test their strength armed with these equipment.

Under Ron's watchful eyes, the phalanx of the family troops walked neatly in front of him with their heads held high, showing their best posture to their lord.

Ron looked at the family members and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Although it is impossible to achieve a completely uniform pace, this kind of organization and discipline can already be called an elite teacher.

The tabby cat, Diridis, walked forward with the phalanx of the scouting team with her head held high, but her eyes kept looking in Ron's direction.

"The lord is bigger than before! Meow! He is nodding at me!"

Dilidis was so excited that her blood surged up, the short down on her face covered her blushing face, but her constantly swaying ears still betrayed her mood.

Ron looked away from a tall tabby scout who showed two styles of wildness and cuteness at the same time, and looked at the tauren leader Sauta beside him.

As Ron grew up, the dragon-veined tauren who had a blood relationship with Ron also increased a lot in size.

Sauta's height has broken through four meters, reaching close to five meters, and his body size is already twice that of an ordinary tauren!
The strength of the rest of the dragon-veined tauren also increased, reaching more than three meters or even four meters.

Ron even wondered whether these tauren would grow bigger than the legendary giant when he grew to the level of the ancient dragon.

"Great master, those newly made weapons are ready." Sauta's dull voice sounded.

Ron nodded, signaling Sauta to continue.

After Sauta made a gesture, a huge black heavy cannon was pushed forward by the tauren and passed in front of Ron.

This is one of the tasks Ron gave to Floris and Brass Hammer before falling asleep.

Artillery has already appeared in the Lunia continent. Although it is not widely used, the dwarves who are proficient in forging naturally understand it.

The research and development of artillery is not difficult, and the copper hammer easily completes the task of casting artillery.

The shells fired by these heavy artillery weighed a full sixteen kilograms. According to Ron's previous life, they belonged to 36-pound cannons. The heavy shells were powerful enough to cause a devastating blow to the army composed of most middle and low-level extraordinary people.

But the disadvantage of this weapon is also very obvious, that is, it is too heavy, and it can only be hauled by a large number of livestock on wide and flat roads, and it is difficult to enter complex terrain.

According to Copper Hammer, even in Lunia, only a small amount of this kind of heavy artillery was cast and placed on the city wall, as a supplementary firepower for spellcasters during the interval of spell coverage.

After all, the hit rate of these artillery pieces is very impressive, and the lethality depends entirely on the gunner's experience and feel.

However, under Long En's order, a group of family members had been arranged to study mathematics, and they had been experimenting continuously in the past three years to improve and perfect the calibration and calculation of shells.

Five days later.

The Familia army stopped under Scar's orders.

Wearing a suit of fine steel armor, Scar came to Long En and knelt on one knee: "Master, news came from the scouts that a hill giant was found ten kilometers ahead, and the enemy is advancing according to the expected route."

"Very good." Ron nodded and said, "Continue to do what you should do."

"Yes."

After Scar gave the order, the dragon vein tauren who were carrying the heavy artillery parts on their backs removed the parts from their bodies, and a group of dragon vein kobolds quickly assembled forty heavy artillery pieces together.

Scar glanced at the scout's notification, and ordered the dragon vein kobold to start adjusting the elevation angle to reload.

"The enemy is in range! Seven degrees and twelve minutes east of north! The distance is four kilometers! The wind is three degrees southwest!"

Listening to the shout of the herald, Ron watched the rows of dark and silent heavy artillery slightly adjust and move, and the deep muzzles seemed to be the gaze of death.

"Let me see how powerful the artillery can be in this world..."

"boom!"

A round of volleys exploded like thunder!
More than [-] hill giants who were advancing suddenly heard a thunder coming from a distance in front of them.

Then, pitch-black iron balls flew towards them with a howling roar.

More than half of the iron balls fell outside their team, and the other half smashed into their team.

An extremely fast iron ball smashed into the calf of a hill giant with a piercing scream, and its leg bones were torn apart in an instant.

The stunned hill giant fell to the side with an unstable center of gravity, and hit the ground heavily, only then did he feel the severe pain and began to scream.

Several hill giants who had been hit on the head by the iron ball fell straight down, and a column of blood more than one meter high sprayed out from their empty necks.

The hill giant who was hit in the chest and abdomen wailed in pain. The huge iron ball pierced through their tough skin and bones, but fell into the internal organs, and their kinetic energy was greatly reduced. They failed to penetrate their spines, but left In these poor hill giants.

The shaman leading the group of mountain giants widened his eyes, stood up suddenly from the frightened wolf, and looked towards the direction of the thunder.

It clearly didn't feel a wave of magic power or aura of spells. What on earth attacked them at such a long distance! ?

The hill giant shaman waved the scepter, making the skin of the hill giants tougher, and thick stone skin condensed on the body surface.

Under its command, the hill giants quickly gathered in a group to defend, but they had no idea how to counter it.

"Adjustment of ammunition! Prepare for the second round!"

"boom!"

There was another sound of thunder, and dozens of iron balls fell into the hill giant again.

The sturdy stone skin enhanced the hill giant's protection a lot, but it was still vulnerable to these roaring iron balls.

At best, these iron balls can't instantly kill the hill giants they hit, and let them scream and struggle in pain for a while.

Facing the iron balls brought by the thunder, the hill giants began to panic, but under the order of the shaman, they could only stay where they were.

The casualties caused by the two rounds of shelling were not large, and there were no more than 30 hill giants who were actually shot and killed.

But the attack of this invisible enemy is really frightening and frightening.

"Reload! Prepare for the third round!"

"boom!"

The artillery shell took away the lives of several hill giants again, leaving more than a dozen hill giants lying on the ground and howling in pain.

The hill giants finally couldn't bear this inexplicable fear and pressure, and ran towards the direction of the thunder amidst the angry roar of the shaman.

"Reload adjustment! Prepare for the fourth round!"

"boom!"

After this round of bombardment, Ron said, "Stop the bombardment and prepare to meet the enemy."

The tall figure of the hill giant quickly appeared in Ron's eyes. After a glance, Ron said: "The whole army goes out and crushes them!"
