Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 693 - 81 Defense
Thousands of alchemy cannons roared in unison, and in an instant, it seemed as though the earth was crumbling and the mountains shaking!
Streams of cannon fire meteors fell like a violent storm above the royal city, striking the massive magic protection shield, causing relentless quaking and enormous explosions, as if the entire sky had turned into a vast sea of fire.
Round after round,
The fierce cannon fire showed no sign of pausing, as shells poured down relentlessly, covering the entire rear artillery position in thick smoke, resembling an earthquake.
Within these seven days, the ammunition transported from the rear was more than enough to fight a major battle, so the artillerymen spared no expense in raining down shells after adjusting their shooting parameters.
Countless shells rained from the sky, densely striking the magic defense shield,
The people within the royal city looked up to see only a sympathetic blue barrier, resisting the overwhelming sea of fire!
"Is this the legendary alchemy cannon?"
Someone who recognized it felt weak in the knees,
Collapsing onto the ground.
The soldiers on the city walls gripped their weapons tightly, watching the massive magic protection shield above, swaying under the fierce bombardment of cannon fire, feeling extremely anxious.
If this thing couldn't hold, the entire city wall might turn into a sea of fire in an instant.
Meanwhile,
In the center of the royal city and at various magic array points, mages hurriedly removed magic crystal stones drained of all magic power, replacing them with magic crystals full of magic to maintain the operation of the grand magic array protecting the entire royal city.
Rumble, rumble...
The deafening sound echoed across half the sky.
And this round of cannon fire lasted more than a quarter of an hour.
Throughout, the Dragon's Nest army remained standing outside the attack range of the city walls, quietly awaiting.
As the people inside the royal city were in shock and awe, this round of cannon fire finally came to a halt.
"This thing's defense is truly strong; if it can't be completely shattered in one blow, there's basically no hope."
At the central command,
A strategist put down the telescope and spoke calmly.
At this moment,
The massive protection shield covering the entire royal city was now dotted with holes, which were quickly recovering amidst the flickering of magical light.
This round of cannon fire wasn't without effect.
More than ninety-nine percent of the shells had been blocked, but still, a few managed to hit the weak points of the magic shield, crashing into the royal city.
But how much damage it did to the city defense guards remained to be seen.
"Wasn't this expected? Otherwise, those four massive units wouldn't have been transported from the rear."
In this world where extraordinary power appeared,
be it fighting qi or magic, different energy defense applications existed, like fighting qi shields or magic shields.
These defensive methods, unlike Austin's former world's purely scientific atomic world, directly absorb and dissipate the energy of enemy attacks.
For instance, the principle of a magic shield blocking the fireball technique is to absorb and neutralize the energy released from the fireball, thus protecting oneself.
This energy capacity doesn't have many limitations.
Even mechanical kinetic energy could be absorbed.
Therefore, firearms bullets were not very effective against those who could master fighting qi or magic.
Just by attaching a shield to the body's surface, one could fully absorb the mechanical energy of bullets, rendering these weapons not very lethal.
For this reason, the Blue Dragon Kingdom's military weapon development still favored high-energy output methods like alchemy fire cannons.
Although magic runes could be inscribed on bullets to create special qi-breaking bullets, the cost was significantly higher than explosive energy output shells.
The principle of the massive magic protection shield in front follows a similar principle to fighting qi magic shields, creating a shield to absorb and neutralize energy impacts.
If incapable of breaking this immense magic protection shield in one fell swoop, it indicates the need to exhaust all the provided energy to break it.
Because even if a small hole formed, it could rapidly recover after absorbing a certain amount of magic energy.
From the first day the Dragon's Nest army arrived beneath the royal city, after performing artillery tests, the strategists were mentally prepared that ordinary alchemy cannons couldn't make much of an impact.
"The city defense system is incredibly rigorous. According to collected intelligence, since the establishment of the Frandi Duchy, continuous reinforcement of the royal city has been ongoing. This massive magic protection shield is just the first step; those towering city walls reinforced with magic runes must be even harder."
Another strategist voiced his admiration.
"Forget it, let's get straight to the point. The main thing is to watch the performance of those four big ones. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the royal city's defense system..."
The person glanced at the four towering "iron towers" behind him, feeling a tinge of excitement.
"Then let's do it. Don't let those guys celebrate too early."
One of the Beastman strategists also put down the telescope,
Through the telescope, he had just seen the high-spirited scene of the soldiers on the royal city's walls cheering loudly, as if they had won a great victory.
Come on, it was just a few rounds of cannon fire. Did they really think that was the last measure?
The thoughts of the Beastman strategist were certainly unknown to the Frandy soldiers on the city walls, who were at the moment relishing in the fact that the magic defense shield above them had repelled all attacks.
Someone couldn't resist taking off their hat, throwing it into the air in celebration as if victory in the war was already in sight.
Besides,
If even this magic array couldn't be breached, wouldn't that mean they were safe as long as they stood within the array?
Moreover, even if the magic array were breached, the defenses of this royal city included a lot more. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
All of a sudden,
Loud cheers filled the air,
morale soared.
Meanwhile,
The Dragon's Nest army's massive gun shield soldiers and cavalry below the city remained motionless, still posed in a hunting preparation stance.
At the same time,
Behind central command,
strange individuals dressed in white clothes and white hats scattered beneath the four iron towers. The foundational frames of the iron towers were connected via huge cables to a small screen, where these strange individuals continued to operate, lines of green code flashing swiftly on the blue screens.
At the same moment,
The densely packed magic patterns on the four tall towers began to flash with deep light.
