[Epee] Jacques Miles's strength is the dragon-hunting crossbow. As a military agent on the dark side of the Kingdom of Sambia, he has led the army more than once to secretly help Sambia's large caravans open up trade routes. He resisted

He has fought against giant dragons, hunted trolls, and driven out giant tribes. It can be said that he has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced.

Facing William's small army with a mixed membership and no more than 200 people, Jacques Myers naturally would not think that his side would fail.

Moreover, in addition to the dragon-hunting crossbows, the troll gunners under Jacques Miles are also an extremely powerful elite team.

As we all know, trolls are also a branch of giants, and troll gunners are an ace unit that specializes in hunting trolls. The members of this team are basically elite warriors who are strong, bold and careful. Each of them has been

Confronted terrifying trolls and slain them with flaming war lances.

According to Jacques Myers, the enemy's greatest weakness is their small numbers.

Even though they have a powerful giant team, the troll gunners take advantage of the city wall and have many knights and auxiliary soldiers as assistants. Even if the opponent is a slightly stronger cloud giant, they should be able to fight a 50-50 attack. In the end,

The important thing is that there is a dragon-hunting crossbow responsible for sniping and killing giants by name. The heavy sword commander believes that he only needs to kill five or six giants, and the most difficult enemies will definitely retreat involuntarily. After all, giants are notoriously not good at fighting in adverse circumstances.

.

When the sun was high in the sky, William had already led the giant siege team to stand outside the city wall of Gongqiao City. The position they stood in made the defenders on the city wall quite uncomfortable. This position has a reputation in classical military formations.

It's called the Land of Three Arrows.

What is the Land of Three Arrows?

We all know that in ancient military wars, the bow and crossbow always came first. The farthest distance that a standard bow or crossbow can shoot when the string is fully drawn, we usually call it the place of one arrow.

.

The place of three arrows is the distance that the arrows missed after shooting three times. In the classical era, this distance was the most psychologically safe distance allowed by both sides when the two armies lined up on the ground to fight. It was neither too far nor too close.

Both the attacking side and the defensive side have certain advantages.

William used the captured Gonggu standing crossbows as a standard to determine the distance of the three arrows. However, this made the Gonggu guards standing on the city wall extremely uncomfortable, because their standing crossbows could not harass the enemy and could attack the giant's weapons.

But there is only one dragon-hunting crossbow. As for other ultra-long-range strike weapons, such as magic heavy crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment, Gongqiao Town was not equipped with them before, and now it is too late to prepare them.

This time, William did not continue to sit on the shoulder chariot and act like an uncle. Instead, he put on his battle armor and stood at the front of the team with his sword and gun in hand. Because William had already faintly sensed the terrible threat from behind the city wall, from

The threat of the Dragon Hunter Crossbow.

Although the Cloud Giants are not William's trusted soldiers, the loss of even one of these special units with special functions is a great loss.

William's purpose in leading the charge was to use himself to attract the enemy's firepower to reduce the Cloud Giant's casualties.

It’s hard to say how far the dragon-hunting crossbow has a shooting range, but given that it can hit a giant dragon flying at an altitude of one thousand meters, it can be estimated that the horizontal shooting range of this big killer will definitely make people despair.

It can be said that except for William, who has a life-saving trump card, any other person or giant who suffers from a missed dragon-hunting crossbow will basically be the result of a hiccup. What's even more embarrassing is that in order to ensure that the dragon-hunting crossbow at full power can shoot

To kill the dragon, its attack mode is not only a three-shot attack, but also a permanent hit magic for every missing crossbow.

The only good news is that the reloading speed of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow after three consecutive shots is relatively slow, and the constant sure-hit magic effect above is temporarily disabled at this point in time.

It's a pity that William doesn't know this detailed information now. It should be said that except for the Three Sword Commanders and their confidants, few people know that there is a Dragon Hunting Crossbow hidden in Gong Valley, let alone know the details of this Dragon Hunting Crossbow.

.

Although William didn't know the details of the threat, he didn't have a way to deal with it.

As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world are invincible except speed. This sentence is also appropriate to put here.

This time, the team of giants stood very scattered. Each cloud giant was carrying a heavy wooden shield made of logs. William, who was standing at the front of the team, directly opened a pair of flaming wings more than ten meters long.

Making him the most eye-catching kid on the entire battlefield!

The blazing red wings make William look like a gorgeous fire butterfly. Just like some creatures in nature like to use bright colors and exaggerated shapes to confuse natural enemies, William's exaggerated form also immediately attracts the attention of all enemies.

The force, including the dragon-hunting crossbow, was no longer aimed at the Cloud Giant who seemed to be the tallest, but instead aimed at him as he spread his wings and soared into the air.

Almost the moment William was targeted by the dragon-hunting crossbow, he felt an inexplicable chill similar to what he had experienced in his previous life when being targeted by a sniper rifle. The chill was so bone-chilling that it almost made people shudder.

With a charging roar, he unfurled his snakeskin without hesitation and flew in the air like a colorful bird.

Almost at the moment when the Dragon Hunting Crossbow was activated, William also instantly activated the [Rocket Flight Technique], and then his flight speed instantly changed from Jia Qiaoer (Sparrow) level to Falcon level, as if he was suddenly hit by a bow.

It was as if it was ejected, quickly breaking through the air barrier, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed through the city wall of Gongqiao City.

It was precisely William's sudden acceleration that allowed him to miss the dragon-hunting crossbow that was fired at a very fast speed. By the time the shooter who controlled the dragon-hunting crossbow realized that the first shot had missed, William had already almost crossed the halfway mark.

Gongqiao City is rushing towards the location of the dragon-hunting crossbow at an acceleration visible to the naked eye, which is also the municipal building of Gongqiao City and the residence of the Three Swords Commanders - Jiansai.

The sword fortress is a huge castle-like fortress standing on a rock protruding from the ground in Gongqiao. On the solid walls of this castle, there are ballistas and trebuchets that have not been installed on the outer walls of Gongqiao City.

The remaining heavily armored cavalry were lined up in the square in front of the sword fortress, ready to launch a desperate attack on the enemies rushing into the city.

At this time, the defensive commander of Jiansai was the last of the Three Swords Commanders, "Two Swords" Kerimachus, who was also the dominant figure among the Three Swords Commanders. When "Two Swords" Kerimachus

When he realized that the dragon-hunting crossbow missed the target, he was involuntarily stunned like everyone else. Who would have thought that the disconnection of the magic network would affect the accuracy of the dragon-hunting crossbow, and no one would test-fire under such circumstances.

Pass.

However, Kerimachus was used to being a dictatorial boss, and his nerves and will were relatively strong. He almost reacted first, and immediately screamed with a voice that almost broke his throat: "Keep shooting with the dragon-hunting crossbow!

Burst mode! All ballistae! Trebuchets! Ready! Fire—"

Before Kerimachus could finish his words, William had already plunged into the tower platform where the dragon-hunting crossbow was installed. With several shrill and tragic screams, everyone already knew that controlling the dragon-hunting crossbow

The shooter and her combat team were killed.

Kerimachus was almost going crazy. The people who controlled the dragon-hunting crossbow were all his closest and most trusted people, including his wife, his sister, and of course the other two commanders' cronies.

Now, these people have obviously encountered misfortune.

But Kerimachus was worthy of being the boss of the three swords. He endured the grief in his heart with great perseverance and screamed angrily: "Target tower! Everyone! Shoot -"

The attack that Kerimachus expected did not appear in time. It was not until after waiting for a long time that countless crossbows were scattered and messily covered the tower platform that once belonged to the dragon-hunting crossbow. After all, for many crossbow gunners,

It is said that temporarily changing shooting targets is not an easy task.

Debris flew from the outer wall of the tower platform as the thick crossbows impacted, and many crossbows even flew in directly through the gap in the platform. However, the shooters did not hear the screams of the enemies when they were shot.

After firing the crossbow, the shooters did not stand in a daze, but began the intense work of loading. The loading of the crossbow was not easy, and it required at least several people to assist to complete the cocking and return.

After William cleaned up the control team that controlled the dragon-hunting crossbow, he developed a great desire and fear for the science-fiction dragon-hunting crossbow.

It was a slender cigar-shaped crossbow body made of silver-white metal—William guessed it was mithril.

It is fixed on a rotatable golden disc and can be rotated at any angle according to the operator's wishes.

William is very familiar with this thing. This thing is not a dragon-hunting crossbow at all, but an anti-aircraft gun. It is a tactical defense weapon assembled by ancient human civilizations to fight enemies from outer space, and the ammunition fired by this thing

It's not a dragon-slaying crossbow, but a terrifying particle flow.

The particle streams emitted from each of the three holes have different effects. There are [death rays] that directly cause the death of living organisms, there are [destruction beams] that destroy matter, and there is one that targets energy (magic).

Equipped with [Great Disintegration Ray].

It can be said that no matter what type of enemy this anti-aircraft gun wants to deal with, it can basically find the corresponding ammunition mode.

Of course, if there is no activation command, this anti-aircraft gun will naturally not be able to exert its real effect. However, the people at Gongqiao are able to bypass the password restrictions and use this thing as a ballista. It has to be said that it is also a kind of "genius"

conception.

After William briefly observed the physical form of this ancient war weapon, he blocked a few more shots - we still call it the Dragon Hunting Crossbow - and after the Dragon Hunting Crossbow lost its crossbow, it turned into a stream of light again.

He flew out of the tower platform and then swept towards the guards of the sword.

The spear is like a violent wave, the sword is like a flowing firefly, and the man is like a dragon wandering around. Even though William is alone, he has a devastating momentum. However, the guards of the sword are not only men wearing armor and stomach, but also various ballistae.

The instruments were all destroyed one after another, and the screams of death almost became an endless mourning song. The God of Death sang happily beside William, praising his contribution to enriching the population of the underworld.

"Two Swords" Kerimachus screamed at the beginning and dispatched men to besiege William. When nearly one-third of the soldiers were killed by William who charged at high speed, the remaining soldiers had already lost their courage and lost their minds. They gave up one after another.

The weapons and armor fled away from the sword fortress.

At this time, a thunderous roar came from the other side of the city wall of Gongqiao City. The city walls built with strips of stone and logs were seen cracking and collapsing like sand. However, it was the Cloud Giants who broke through the defense of the city wall.

, are wreaking havoc on those obstructive city wall facilities.

At this moment, Kerimachus looked at the situation of internal and external troubles, but like a madman who had lost his mind, he actually sat on the ground and laughed crazily while beating the ground with tears streaming down his face.

The last guard in the sword fortress who dared to resist fell under William's gun, and the rest basically fled into the city streets outside.

William strolled up to Kerimachus and looked down at the man who had fallen into madness.

This is a strong black-haired man. Although the years have left deep marks on his face, it still cannot erase his natural handsome temperament. Of course, if that face had less twisted smiles and

If there were extra tears, I believe this man would be more attractive.

Kerimachus raised his head, his dark brown eyes filled with the smell of death. He asked weakly: "Before I die, can you tell me that this thing in front of me killed me and destroyed me?"

Who are the people in this city?”

William said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if I tell you. I am William, the man who is about to unify the entire valley."

Kerimachus couldn't help laughing louder after hearing this, and he shouted: "Unify the valley? Hahahaha! You want to be the second Rashan! What a damn lunatic! Do you know that the last one wanted to unify

What happened to the man in the valley?! He was dead! Killed by me! Killed like a dog!

Now I am about to be killed like a dog, by another person who wants to dominate the valley! Is this the so-called revenge of fate?! Hahaha——"

Kerimachus recalled the almost curse-like curse of Rashan when he killed the seriously injured Rashan: "Traitor! Traitor who betrayed the Valley Alliance! Even if you kill me today, there will always be someone else."

One day, you will also die in the hands of the next king of the unified valley! My soul will watch you at the entrance to the underworld!"

Although Kerimachus was desperate, he still tried to make a final resistance, or revenge.

Kerimachus changed to a more comfortable position and sat on the ground. He said: "Young king, do you know how much resistance there will be to unifying the entire valley? Not only the various city-states within the Valley Alliance will strongly oppose it.

, including several powerful kingdoms outside the valley, will also try their best to stop you! King Rashan two years ago underestimated the power of internal and external enemies, and he was defeated and died."

William quietly watched Kerimachus show off his lips, just like watching a fly struggling in a spider's web.

Kerimacus believed that William's silence meant that he had been touched. Kerimacus continued: "Young man, if you want to break through all the difficulties and fight against the opponents from within and without, then you need to
