After listening to Sintis Shancha's report, Saint Andrew touched his chin thoughtfully.
After thinking for a while, he gave Artillery an objective and fair evaluation:
"One thing to say, this weapon called 'artillery' is small in size, has a long range, and is powerful. It is indeed a weapon that should not be underestimated!"
Then he made a move with one hand, and a misfiring magic crystal shell on the ground flew to his hand.
Saint Andrew used his mental power to detect the internal structure of the magic crystal shell and nodded in approval:
"Artillery is actually secondary. Even if the artillery can fire iron balls, it is at best the power of a bronze archer and is not something to be afraid of.
But with the addition of these specially made iron balls, it can be said to be a miracle! Not only can it cause damage to large targets, but it can also cause area damage to ordinary troops when it explodes."
The "Four Heavenly Kings" also used their mental power to scan the internal structure of the magic crystal cannonball.
Grand Duke Xintis's expression changed instantly:
"Inside this iron ball is an earth-type bronze-level magic core, and it has been adjusted to a critical point of excited state. It will only detonate when it encounters a large speed loss!
This is very demanding for an alchemist! At least it must be written by a master alchemist!"
"Yes, it can be called a genius idea!"
Saint Andrew carefully put the misfired magic crystal shell into the [Space Ring].
Go back and see if the alchemists in the family have the ability to imitate it.
.
In addition to Saint Andrew and Grand Duke Xintis, the other three sky-level powerhouses also marveled at the artillery.
"This kind of power! This kind of range! It can be said that it has completely destroyed our heavy trebuchet!" Pim Shancha said with emotion.
"Yes! This new weapon has a range of up to 9 lih, while the heavy trebuchet has a range of only 1 lih. The difference is like a sky-level weapon versus a silver-level weapon."
McConnell's tone was also a bit sour.
"How do you think Sean obtained such a powerful weapon? Could it be that the God of Light really provided him with any guidance?" Connery Cotton asked curiously.
Now that the Delphi defense formation has been activated and the two sides have temporarily ceased fire, they have nothing to do but hang in the air and chat.
.
After Saint Andrew praised the artillery and cannonballs, he suddenly approached Archduke Sintis aggressively:
"Sintis! It's been two and a half months since you obtained the information about this weapon. Why didn't you take any precautions against such a powerful weapon? You will have a big fault for losing this war!"
Grand Duke Sintis was overwhelmed by the momentum of Saint Andrew, and he hurriedly defended:
"Lord Saint! I am not completely defenseless against this new type of weapon."
"Then tell me, where are your preparations?"
Saint Andrew regained his momentum, but his face remained cold.
Xintis quickly lowered his head and explained:
"After the defeat of the naval battle, I sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Port Kapur to investigate. According to the intelligence personnel's reports, these artillery pieces were stored in the warehouse at Port Kapur five days ago.
Who knew that in just five days, these artillery pieces would appear at the top of the city of Delphi, I didn’t expect it either!”
After listening to Grand Duke Xintis's defense, Saint Andrew nodded slightly.
If Sintis is telling the truth, he cannot be blamed for this matter.
But the strange thing is, how did Sean Violet transport so many artillery pieces to the head of Delphi Fortress in just five days?
Ordinary sky-level experts cannot do this!
Unless you are a saint!
Could it be that there is a saint hidden in the Principality of Lane?!
.
But now is not the time to think about this. Saint Andrew shook his head irritably and looked at the "Four Heavenly Kings":
"Forget it, now is not the time to hold people accountable. What we have to consider now is what to do next and how to break Delphi's defensive formation..."
.
Before Saint Andrew could finish speaking, a huge wave of magic burst out from the center of Delphi.
Buzz——
A louder roar sounded than when the magic circle was opened just now.
Along with the roar, the originally gray magic shield turned into a material like translucent glass.
At the same time, the shield quickly thickened, and the thickness increased directly from 2.3 meters to 10-12 meters!
Seen from a distance, the entire city of Delphi seems to be held upside down by a huge pot-shaped glass curtain. It’s really beautiful!
.
This is, of course, Khadgar's work.
He integrated three to four hundred magicians and used a large number of BUFFs at the same time to enhance everyone's abilities to their peak state. It was not just as simple as opening a defensive magic circle.
Think about it too.
It was impossible for the Delphi Fortress to have so many magicians in the past. Couldn't the defensive magic circle still be opened?
To put it bluntly, Khadgar alone can open the defensive magic circle.
Now there are three to four hundred magicians gathered, of course not just to open the magic circle, they want to take a step closer.
For example, with the blessing of a large amount of magic power, the thickness of the magic shield in the sky has been strengthened from the original two or three meters to more than ten meters, and the defense power has increased by more than ten times.
And under Khadgar's guidance, they also activated an important function of the magic circle - one-way defense.
What is "one-way defense"? Just look at the faces of the senior officials of the Shancha family.
Saint Andrew was the first to discover that the magic shield actually activated the "one-way defense"? His expression suddenly changed.
"Xintis, the enemy's magic circle has activated a single defense, quickly let the troops retreat!"
"One-way defense?! Okay, okay? I'll do it right away!" Grand Duke Xintis' face turned from red to pale in an instant.
He used magic blessing to convey his voice to every corner of the battlefield:
"Everyone listen to my order! Retreat! Retreat to an area 10 miles away from the city wall, quickly!"
Upon hearing the Grand Duke's command, the senior officers below immediately gave orders and directed the troops to start retreating.
But they are in an offensive posture, and if they suddenly want to retreat, their morale will be seriously injured, and local riots will also occur.
However, Xintis couldn't care so much anymore, and the right way was to let the soldiers evacuate first.
.
Pim Shancha, who was floating in the sky, didn't understand these things very well, so he asked:
"Xintis, what is 'one-way defense'?"
Grand Duke Sintis explained casually:
"Single defense is an advanced function of the defensive magic array.
The effect is similar to its literal meaning. The original magic shield is a pure energy body with two-way defense. The outside cannot hit the inside, and the inside cannot hit the outside.
Now that the magic shield is blurred by the blessing of a large amount of magic power, the magic shield has the characteristics of one-way defense.
Our attacks inside the shield will still be blocked by the shield, but attacks from inside the shield can pass through the shield without any hindrance and attack us outside.
Chapter completed!
