Chapter 378: The roar of cannons, the most magnificent movement
The land in the south is full of life. The green leaves never fall all year round, and the flowers still bloom after autumn, adding a touch of color to the dusk.
In the military camp outside the city of Alto, seven thousand Guards were lined up. Mexica warriors, Prepecha warriors, Otomi warriors, Tekos tribe warriors, Guakili red-haired hunters... from all over the world
Elite warriors from various tribes gathered under the king's command. Each of them had a solemn expression, wearing bronze armor and holding bronze soldiers in their hands. Many of them also carried longbows and throwing spears on their backs.
After resting in the capital, the Guards Corps expanded to 7,000 people, and the bronze armor ratio also increased to 80%. At a glance, it was all a golden "ocean", full of metal power.
Shulot was wearing golden refined bronze armor and stood on a high platform, surrounded by hundreds of armored guards. In front of the high platform, there were hundreds of southern nobles and guards, all of whom looked frightened and uneasy. Nearly a hundred meters in front of the southern nobles
, the 500 artillery battalion soldiers finished loading ten condor cannons and thirty squatting tiger cannons, with the muzzles facing the west.
To the west is a fiery red sunset, shining mountains, and more than twenty noble captives bound hand and foot under the mountains, with faces ashen as death.
Gulamo looked solemn. He stood in the ranks of nobles without saying a word.
Not long ago, he took Medina all the way north, and happened to encounter the Kingdom's Gyeonggi Army marching south. A full eight thousand warriors passed by him, all of them were well-dressed, with high morale and sophisticated weapons. They were a real strong army. He was worried.
Very, the combat power of this legion was obviously much stronger than the army in the south, and he didn't know how to resist it. However, when he arrived outside Otto City and saw the golden-armored Guards Legion, he realized that it was truly unstoppable.
What does a strong army look like...
Next to Gulamo, Old Crow Sitley looked at the noble captives not far away, his hands and feet trembling with fear.
That was the Yolodila family, which had been based in the southwest for generations, occupied the mountain passes, had hundreds of warriors and a private army, and was always famous for its bravery. However, the king only sent a partial army, and it took a day or two to defeat this noble family.
Completely wiped out, not even a single male descendant escaped. At this moment, these noble captives were tied up in front of everyone, and it was self-evident what their fate would be.
"Your Highness, the artillery battalion is ready and can be fired at any time!"
Artillery battalion commander Tupa walked up to the high platform and respectfully reported back to the king. He was originally the deputy general of Black Wolf. He participated in the skyfire night attack during the Northern Expedition and conquered the new camp in the mountains. His performance was quite outstanding. In addition, he is also His Royal Highness.
He was a personal guard in his early years and had always been loyal and brave. He was promoted to the head of the artillery battalion and his future was bright.
"Well, wait a little longer and let the southern nobles enjoy the sunset more."
Shulot smiled indifferently and waited patiently. It was not until the setting sun set in the mountains and the sky was filled with red clouds that he nodded slightly.
"Go ahead."
Tupa bowed and retired. He came to the artillery camp and announced loudly.
"...The southwestern hereditary noble Yolodila blocked the royal army from moving south and refused to obey the king's orders! The Yolodila family betrayed the kingdom and is guilty of an unforgivable crime. All fiefs are now taken back and all male descendants are to be executed on the spot!"
Tupa declared loudly three times, each time becoming more fluent than the last. It took him two days to memorize this sentence.
A hundred meters away, the southern nobles stood in the best position to watch the execution, each fighting with fear in their hearts. Low whispers sounded among the nobles, and soon fell silent.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the old crow Sitley also had ups and downs of emotions. He asked Gulamo in a low voice.
"Gulamo, how will the Mexicans execute little Yolodila's family? Is it a sacrifice?"
Gulamo shook his head. He pointed at the golden copper beast in front of him, but still did not speak. The Mexica people placed this copper beast in front of them, obviously intending to use it in executions.
"Huh? What on earth is this..."
"Sun Condor Cannon, shoot!!"
The artillery battalion commander Tupa waved a small flag and shouted orders. The gunners immediately lit the twist of the Condor cannon, then quickly covered their ears and squatted on both sides of the artillery.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
A terrifying thunder-like sound exploded in an instant, like the roar of a thunder god! The shocking sound of cannons echoed between heaven and earth. The southern nobles screamed in horror, trembled with fear, and even ran away in panic. The tied ones
The prisoners collapsed to the ground, wailing desperately.
Hearing the terrifying sound of cannons, Gulamo trembled all over, lost his limbs, and kept shaking. Fortunately, he had practiced dancing for many years and his martial arts skills were equally good, and he could barely maintain his balance. Two steps away, Old Crow Sitley
He stumbled and fell directly to the ground. Then, his whole body trembled violently, his old legs shook, and his pants suddenly became wet.
Shulot waved his command flag, and hundreds of warriors moved forward silently, driving hundreds of fleeing nobles back to the "Observation Deck." It wasn't until the echoing sound of cannons disappeared in the distance that everyone regained their senses with difficulty. Gulamo wrinkled
Frowning, he pulled Sitli up in disgust, and looked at the still smoking copper beast absentmindedly.
The Condor Cannon has a long range, and this wave of shots was not aimed at the prisoners who were close at hand. The ten round stone bullets drew a powerful trajectory and hit the mountain forest a mile away, breaking the
There were several trees with thick wrists. A broken tree swayed and slowly fell to the west, hitting the ground with a "bang". Then, other trees also fell one after another, and there were several more "bangs".
Seeing this scene, the nobles who were watching all turned pale. So did Gulamo. He whispered to himself.
"Three gods, please protect your last people!..."
If such a thick tree can be broken by the Bronze Beast's stone-shooting blow, the walls of various noble manors will be equally vulnerable. If the royal army launches an attack with the Bronze Beast, except for the solid stone wall of Kuramo City
In addition, the rest of the Muzhai Manor cannot be defended at all.
Shulot looked at the blood loss expressions of the nobles and nodded with satisfaction. Half a quarter of an hour later, when the sunset was about to completely set, the king waved his hand again.
Tupa looked excited and shouted orders.
"Rain God Tiger squats and shoots!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Continuous thunder sounded again. The southern nobles were like weeds in a heavy rain, swaying in fear, unable to control themselves in the storm.
"Plop!"
Old Crow Sitley fell to the ground again. He closed his eyes in despair, covered his ears, and waited for the end of the trial. Now, he no longer had any thoughts of resisting the king's army. His pants were already soaked.
, but there is no need to be embarrassed, because he is far from the only one among the nobles whose pants are soaked.
Gulamo covered his ears and widened his eyes, trying to see the details of the copper beast's roar.
At the moment when the thunder sounded, a cloud of white mist rose from the copper beast's round mouth, and then suddenly sprayed out a large group of stone pellets. These stone pellets were faster than arrows, and they struck fiercely at the noble captive nearly a hundred meters away. Almost
In just an instant, more than twenty nobles fell to the ground softly. They barely uttered a scream before being shot into a transparent sieve from the front and back. Large areas of blood and minced meat were spread on the ground, as if the demons had eaten after a meal.
on site.
"It turns out that as long as the flame is ignited, the copper beast will spit out stone pellets and smoke... What kind of magic is this?"
Gulamo thought hard, but couldn't get any answer. He took a deep breath and smelled the breath of the volcano demon. Then, he suddenly realized and bowed his head silently.
"It turns out that this is not magic! The magic of various countries has never been so powerful. This must be the magic of the volcano demon! The cruel Mexica people reached a deal with the mythical volcano demon, and obtained by sacrificing flesh and blood.
Terrible power!"
On the high platform, Shulot lowered his eyes and did not look at the prisoners who were executed by artillery fire. Only by using the most brutal means to frighten the nobles in front of him so that they dare not refuse the kingdom's order of reform can the purge in the south be achieved with the smallest possible outcome.
The price is paid and civilian casualties are minimized. That is true kindness.
Seeing the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, the artillery battalion commander Tupa was so excited that he could command such a powerful force, so why worry about not being able to make military exploits and get promoted? As long as he has the trust of His Highness and has established enough meritorious deeds
, he can even lead an army alone and become a legion commander like the Black Wolf Leader!
Thinking of this, Tupa suddenly raised his hands and took the lead in shouting.
"Praise be to the Lord God! God bless your majesty!... He can do anything!"
The gunners of the artillery battalion also woke up and cheered together, followed by hundreds of personal guards, and finally the entire regiment!
"God bless your majesty! You are omnipotent!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the southern nobles maintained a deathly silence. The king sniffed the smoke in the wind and enjoyed the cheers of the legions. Then, he raised his left arm, and thousands of people were instantly silenced.
"The military is holding a dinner! It's on this campus!"
The king paused and shouted heroically with an passionate voice.
"Ho! My warriors! Tonight, I will have fun with you!"
"Ho! God bless your majesty! You are omnipotent!"
The cheers started again immediately, echoing throughout the school grounds, combining with the rumbling sound of cannons in the mountains, turning into the most magnificent movement!
