"I'm not sure, but the situation is tense and we must do our best to seize every opportunity."
Li Ran turned his head and asked to the side:
"Is 'that thing' coming soon?"
Hart replied gruffly: "It should be soon. The Skeleton Corps started the transportation work two days ago. We dismantled the crossbow into several parts and transported them down from the city wall, and then pulled them up the Dragon Calling Mountains. In the densely forested areas, we also
It takes time to cut a path."
Li Ran nodded and said, "Then let us wait."
As it turns out, there's no need to wait too long.
Only half an hour later, several large items wrapped in tarpaulins were pulled by trailers and appeared at the other end of the pier.
Li Ran asked Jamil to recruit help from the Fjord people, and the two ballistae were successfully installed on the deck of the Edelweiss. Under the ballistae was a winch base that could be used to adjust the shooting direction.
After the installation work was completed, Jamil put down the hammer, spikes and ropes, got off the boat with other fjord people, and returned to the dock.
He looked at the big ship with mixed emotions.
The Edelweiss is a caravel. Compared with ordinary ships, it is lighter and more suitable for fighting along rivers and river ravines.
During several days of maintenance, Li Ran made further modifications to it.
The transformation not only enhanced the protection of the hull, but also installed thirty human-powered oars on the bottom tank, fifteen on each side, making it a sail-oar warship with certain defensive capabilities.
Has excellent mobility.
Although Jamil was surprised by Li Ran's unexpected initiative, his worries and dissatisfaction were still not eliminated.
Even if these two ballistas are installed, can Hai Long be defeated?
Hailong's whole body is wrapped in endless waves, which can slow down most physical impacts. Even ballistae cannot pose an effective threat to it.
Jamil turned his head and suddenly saw fluorescent light emitting from Li Ran's hand.
The space ring flashed with light, and fist-sized mining magic bombs appeared on the dock.
"This is my last inventory."
Li Ran pursed his lips and said in pain.
After Starwind City was built, Li Ran, who was running around to explore resources, stuffed a lot of messy things into the ring.
In addition to fish eye beads, gold coins, personal clothing and equipment blueprints, the space ring is also filled with samples of different types of ores, herbs and other materials.
He always thought that the magic bomb had been used up.
I was looking through the ring a few days ago and discovered that there were still some magic bombs brought out from the Iron Crown Fortress.
And these bombs were the reason why he made up his mind to attack Hailong.
At Li Ran's request, Jamil organized manpower to tie five magic bombs together and put them aside.
"I call it a clustered magic energy bomb."
Li Ran said calmly.
Magic bomb?
Jamil had heard of this kind of thing, and it was commonly used in mines.
However, this was the first time he heard the term clustered magic energy bomb.
Jamil could imagine how powerful it would be when a whole bunch of bombs exploded at one point.
Although he was surprised, he still questioned Li Ran's decision.
"If anyone could deliver this thing to Hai Long intact, then he would be strong enough to defeat Hai Long head-on!"
Li Ran didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Ran walked directly to the ammunition truck, took out a large crossbow arrow, and under Jamil's shocked eyes, tied the clustered magic energy bomb to the arrow shaft with a rope.
He said with satisfaction: "It's very good. The armor-piercing and high-explosive properties are perfectly combined."
The Lord Lord said something Jamil couldn't understand.
It was only now that Jamil finally understood Li Ran's plan.
All doubts disappeared at this moment, and he only had one thought.
What a genius idea is this?
He looked at the exploding crossbow bolt and was stunned for a moment.
Li Ran strode onto the bow of the ship and loudly issued instructions toward the dock:
"Everyone, board the ship and prepare for battle!"
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.
The Skeleton Corps moved in response to the sound, as if they were stepping onto a warship to the beat of drums.
Thirty skeleton warriors ran onto the deck and took their positions one by one beside the oars in the bottom cabin.
Fifty skeleton archers stood on the deck, slightly crowded.
Under Hart's command, the skeleton shooters began to quickly attach cluster bombs to each large crossbow arrow.
The strength of one person was not enough, so several skeleton soldiers turned the winch together and tried to open the crossbow string.
The shooting process can proceed smoothly.
Eureka and Hart finally boarded the Edelweiss, and Jamil, who stayed on the dock, heard the lord's voice:
"Brother, get on the boat!"
"Let's defeat Hai Long!"
Jamil felt a fire suddenly ignite in his chest.
He touched the hunting knife at his waist, uttered a mocking sound, and quickly boarded the ship.
Now, it is his time to serve the lord.
Jamil raised his head and glanced at the weathervane on the mast against the dazzling sunlight.
The wind is southerly and the timing is perfect.
He held the sail rope in his hand and raised the sail suddenly, and the big white sail instantly swelled.
A wave of power was injected into the hull with the wind in the fjord. Sixty skeleton arms moved, turning and paddling amidst Hart's shouts. The paddles neatly cut through the water, and the deck twisted in a heart-wrenching manner.
There was a tremor in the sound, and the speed of the sailing warship suddenly increased.
Woo——
The melodious sound of the sailing horn sounded from the pier.
The Edelweiss is like a young warrior leaving his mother's arms and running quickly towards the enemy who once bullied him.
Li Ran stood at the bow of the boat, feeling the cold wind and the dew in the air.
People on the dock heard the lord's loud voice coming from the lake:
