Shuangmangling has every reason to feel sorry:

Lena Leslie, who studied under Professor Hugh Hosseini, a famous historian of magic, has only a partial knowledge of magical alchemy related to the creation of props. Her own level of fire magic is only an ordinary third level.

Just an intermediate magician;

With Lina's level, it would be enough to bake a brick in the "Griffin Kiln Factory", but asking her to make a magic bomb would be a bit difficult.

If Lena Leslie were replaced by any magic alchemist of level 5 or above, then he could use a magic bamboo tube of the same size to completely blast the core area of ​​the bandit coalition camp into a piece of white ground——

——It’s a pity that it can’t be replaced.

The power of the magic bamboo tube placed behind the command tent by Allen can only be described as drizzle - the explosion of magic flames that extremely lacked heat and impact could only lift a corner of the tent's felt, and even the mountains in the room.

The leader of the thieves was not alarmed.

But Shuangmangling is also lucky.

Because the killer weapon these Igor scum rely on is far more than just magic!

At the beginning of the plan, Mountbatten learned that Lina could not produce a portable magic bomb with enough power, and he immediately changed his strategy: he asked Lina to create a powerful light that could emit a bright enough light, but with very little power.

An improved explosive bomb.

Just emitting light instead of causing actual damage, such "magic flash bombs" are much simpler to make: Lina referred to the magic runes on the magic sword "Light of the Sky" and quickly made a batch of bamboo tubes.

, a micro flash bomb that can be detonated with a delayed detonation——

——When these bamboo tubes are detonated, they can erupt into magical flame beams with astonishing power that can blind a dog's eyes. It is the best choice for breakthrough counting, close-range CQB, and revenge on the neighbor's naughty children and square dancing aunts.

Alan Hotelling's mission is simple: sneak into the bandit camp, and then use these magic flash bombs made in Hanyang to clearly mark the location of the bandit coalition headquarters in the wasteland!

At noon in the wilderness, the sun is strong and the water waves are gentle;

But Lina's carefully prepared A1 high flash, with its flash of scorching light, made everything in the world look like a dark night.

Three kilometers away, at the entrance of Phoenix Terrace, the arrogant "Kill You 3000" super ballistae was also reflected palely by the light beam in the distance.

"How's it going? Did you see it?" Xia Houyan stood next to the ballista, using the lens of the dark moon glazed telescope to look further away, "That's where the bandit headquarters is - can you give it a fucking shot?"

"

He immediately got a confident answer:

"Just take a look!"

It is not the first time that Frost Maple Ridge has done this unethical thing of using siege weapons to inflict damage on the enemy. The original Knights of Pride of the South had already suffered from this tactic;

But what is different from that time is that the person who is manipulating the ballista now is not a layman like Master Kobe who is rushing to sell ducks on the shelf, but a real "professional"——

A lean little old man with a gray beard, together with several apprentices, carefully adjusted the "Kill You 3000" crossbow under the supervision of the lord.

The master's movements were not fast, but extremely smooth. When adjusting the elevation and direction, he reached the point where he could, and his sense of proportion was as precise as a machine, which amazed all the onlookers.

His name is Nicholson, and he was once a famous siege weapon master. Later, he fled all the way to the Soul-Splitting Land because of the crime, and lived in seclusion. Master Nicholson, who is aspiring to a thousand miles, was born in Shuang.

A few days before the Maple Ridge conscription, he volunteered and brought several apprentices to join the revolution.

Siege weapon master, this is a profession that is as rare as a rare one even in the central plains of the empire. Of course, the Xiahou officials accepted all the orders and even held a welcome dinner for the old master.

During these days, while Igor's pioneering army was busy training troops and preparing for war, Master Nicholson only did one thing:

That is to collect all kinds of parts in the territory and turn it into a "kill you 3000" ballista!

For a long period of time, the siege equipment in Shuangmaple Ridge fell into a tragic fate and became one-time use consumables: whether it was the Wanguo brand bed crossbow procured from the Moon God Village, or the

The Lion's Roar Seven-Type Crossbow, a friendly gift from the Pride of the South, was all used once and was immediately scrapped, turning into a pile of spring parts in the heart-wrenching eyes of the Lord's father and mother who remarried.

Originally, Xia Houyan had already planned to dispose of these damaged parts as scrap metal;

But the arrival of Master Nicholson immediately ignited the fire of waste reuse.

With genius-like ideas, mathematician-like calculations, engineer-like designs, and the thrifty spirit of a Tubba trash guy, Nicholson pieced together the remaining parts of the three siege weapons and assembled a

Taiwan can put into actual combat "3000 to kill you"!

Even the wind magic elements in the Seven-Style Lion's Roar and the Wanguo Brand Bed Crossbow were all stuffed into "3000 to Kill You" by Nicholson - for "3000 to Kill You" which emphasizes static defense capabilities.

It is said that the wind magic power in these magic circles no longer needs to do chores such as towing crossbows, but is completely used to increase the energy and speed of crossbow arrows!

According to the old master's calculations, this thing is enough to shoot a giant crossbow arrow two thousand meters with reasonable accuracy——

——This is an extremely awesome number!

You must know that even the Empire's Cromwell Annihilator, which is known for its range, can only achieve an effective range of about 1,500 meters with the blessing of wind magic. If you want to pursue a larger attack range,

Either replace it with heavier land-based static defense equipment, or turn to demons and dwarves who have superior engineering and forging technology.

It has to be said that magic is indeed the primary productive force, and only with the joint blessing of the wind magic array of three siege weapons, a homemade "Kill You 3000" can achieve such an astonishing range;

It is worth mentioning that as the energy of crossbow arrows continues to increase, the structural strength of the crossbow itself can easily become a bottleneck restricting the increase in power - the kinetic energy that is enough to shoot a crossbow arrow two kilometers will react on the crossbow, and it can also be easily fired

A structure that is not strong enough is torn into pieces;

As for the technical research to deal with the launch reaction force, in addition to using Babylonian dense steel nails to reinforce it, Frost Maple Ridge actually took a trick and used the "Wind Protection" rune board obtained on Dragon Bone Peak to achieve it——

——These elf props that can create magical airflow out of thin air can just be used to counteract the reaction force of crossbow arrows. They are perfect for use as a buffer in "Killing You 3000".

Lin Lin finally came down, and the rough-looking "I'll Kill You 3000" was able to make the best use of all the money Shuangfengling had accumulated in the past few days.

In any case, when Master Nicholson showed his results to the lord, all the senior officials of Frost Maple Ridge really suspected that they were dreaming:

They had expected that Nicholson would be awesome, but they didn't expect this old man to be so awesome!

Using a bunch of discarded parts to build a siege weapon that is better than the old one is like building a motorcycle out of a bunch of bicycle parts and wire shoelaces - no, saving a motorcycle

The rear eight wheels of the car come out!

Even the range of two thousand meters is only when conventional crossbows are used;

Master Laurie took Lina and Wilson to refer to the manufacturing process of magic crossbows of the regular army of the Empire. After more than ten days of careful research, he successfully used the "Lister Magic Effect Segmentation" technology to conduct wind-based modification on the thick frost maple wood crossbow arrows.

, dual-system magic enchantment of the fire system:

This also means that just the magic power attached to the crossbow arrow itself is enough to achieve a range of nearly one thousand meters.

Although there are only three enchanted crossbows successfully manufactured, when they are loaded into "Kill Your Life 3000", Frost Maple Ridge will have an ultra-long-range strike radius of up to three thousand meters that is almost only seen on the front lines of the national war.

.

The "3000" in the name of the ballista is certainly a tribute to the classics, but it can indeed hit three thousand meters!

This is actually why Xia Houyan has always wanted to shoot at the bandit camp:

Enjoyment is one thing;

On the other hand, the huge psychological blow that a rocket striking from a theoretically safe distance can bring to the bandits is another aspect.

Although there is nothing wrong with Karen Lepage's insistence on waiting for the opportunity, Sean Mountbatten, who has aggressive tactics, obviously like the Lord, hopes to deliver a shocking and epic blow to the opponent as soon as possible!

Whether it is the cavalry's continuous harassment or Alan Hotelling's infiltration behind enemy lines, they are all designed to completely light up the opponent's command center on the map, making it easier for Master Nicholson to use "Kill Your Life 3000" for fixed-point sniping——

——Bombard the headquarters!

Amidst the friction of gears, the tension of machine springs, and the sound of the wind array, the "Killing You 3000" ballista fixed in place with sandbags slowed down like a dragon waking up in the morning.

Slowly raise your head, and slowly turn to the location where the strong light burst out, exactly.

A crossbow arrow soaked in vine tree fuel and filled with magical fluctuations was parked in the barrel of the crossbow machine - at least at this moment, the smell of death was completely the smell of fuel.

"Ready!" Master Nicholson raised the telescope, repeatedly confirmed that the aim was correct, then held the wheel that fired the crossbow and reported loudly to the lord.

"Wait another three seconds, don't accidentally injure Hotelling..." Xia Houyan silently counted three times in his heart, and then raised his hand.

In an instant, he felt the strange excitement of ordering a nuclear submarine to launch missiles, kicking off a global nuclear war - this made him feel lucky again. Fortunately, he did not become the leader of a major power during the Cold War era, or was involved in the invasion of the Trisolaran civilization.

Later he was asked to be a sword bearer.

Master Nicholson shook his arms and swung the wheel vigorously.

Amidst the loud noise, the magic-blessed version of "Molotov Rocket 2.0" carried its line of fire straight into the sky like a dragon out of the sea, and then roared away in the direction of the bandit camp——

——But the people who were more unlucky than the bandits were actually the people of Shuangfengling who were just watching the fun and did not take it too seriously.

Since there had been no serious test firing before, no one could have imagined that the power of "Killing You 3000" could be so overbearing!

The violent wind generated by the wind array and the combined force of the three mechanical springs exploded. While pushing the Molotov rocket out of the chamber, a round of earth-shattering shock waves exploded directly on the spot!

Except for Master Nicholson who was cunningly hiding in the blind spot of the attack, the surrounding onlookers, from the Lord Lord who was caught off guard and the heavily armored Clement, to the escorting Pioneer Army recruits, everyone felt that they were first

He was knocked to the ground by an air punch, and then a small earthquake nearly shook his bones.

If Clement hadn't gotten up in time and used his tall figure to block the subsequent impact, Lord Lord, Master Laurie and other weaker magicians might not have been shaken out.

What internal injuries?

But the scum of Shuangmaple Ridge lying on the ground had no time to care about their physical condition;

Everyone's eyes followed the looming line of fire straight into the sky, and then watched helplessly as it plummeted downwards at the end of the field of vision, reaching the center of the bandit's camp, and then exploded into a flower on the horizon.

Blooming mushroom cloud.

No one can make any sound with their throat.

But looking at the mouth shape, everyone silently cursed "f*ck".
