Is that the Black Dragon King?

On the city wall, Viscount Jarvis held a telescope in his hand and could barely see the figure of the Black Dragon King flying towards here on the distant skyline.

In addition, there is a small orange light spot, which should be Irving.

"Get the artillery ready." Viscount Jarvis ordered.

In fact, the artillery shells have already been loaded and can be fired directly. The main thing for the artillery here is to be mentally prepared, so as not to be frightened by the Black Dragon King.

Of the five cannons, four were placed on the wall where the trebuchets were originally placed, and the last one was moved to the foot of the wall.

When the People's Army expanded to a thousand men, half of the soldiers were assigned to the city walls, while the other half stayed in the trenches under the city walls.

Viscount Jarvis is responsible for commanding the soldiers on the city wall, while Rusha is responsible for commanding the soldiers below the city wall.

Knowing that the Black Dragon King was coming soon, many soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

They knew that this crusade would be an arduous battle.

Fortunately for the veteran, he had the experience of fighting undead monsters and facing the Dongsheng Fortress army. Although he was a little scared, he was still able to remain calm.

Although the new recruits have received military training, this is their first time participating in combat today and they have no actual combat experience.

Not to mention the fact that they were about to attack such a terrifying existence as the Black Dragon King. Many people were so nervous that their hands were shaking involuntarily, and they were even a little unsteady in holding their guns.

Noticing the condition of these new recruits, Kadir spoke up and said, "Don't be so nervous. It's just the Black Dragon King. We have powerful muskets and cannons, and we will definitely win."

As the recently promoted captain of the Musketeers, most of the teams led by Kadir are new recruits.

"Can we really win? Captain." A recruit turned around and asked, holding a musket in his hand.

The recruit was Huck, who had previously been responsible for operating steam engines in the Transverse Mine. He turned sixteen at the beginning of this summer and met the minimum age limit for the draft.

As soon as the new conscription order came out, Huck resigned from his original job after gaining the support of his parents and the miner leader, signed up to be a soldier, and successfully enlisted.

The monthly salary of the People's Army is higher than that of a miner, and it is very stable. This is what his parents value.

A recruit is a recruit, and he still needs a lot of training, Kadir thought to himself.

"We can definitely win." Kadir said with certainty.

After a pause, he said proudly: "You have to believe, Lord, our People's Army has not suffered a single defeat since its establishment!"

"Um."

Huck nodded, turned back with a firm face, and grabbed the musket in his hand.

Even for the Lord, he must fulfill his duty as a soldier, fight bravely and defeat the enemy.

Three years ago, Huck's father injured a leg due to a mine collapse accident. He could only walk with crutches and had limited mobility. The family relied on Huck alone to make ends meet.

Until the Lord came along and formulated a policy to care for the disabled, Huck's father successfully joined the military factory under the arrangement of the city hall, where he held a job that did not require moving around.

Thanks to the income from this job, the Huck family's life has been getting better and better recently.

All this is the credit of the lord, and Huck is very grateful for this. This is one of the reasons why he wants to join the army.

"Actually, you recruits are pretty good. You don't have to hold a long gun to fight the enemy at close range. You can get a musket as soon as you join the army. You only need to aim from a distance, shoot, load, aim again, and keep repeating this

Just follow the moves and that’s it.”

As a veteran, Qadir especially liked to brag about his previous heroic achievements to the new recruits.

"Last winter, when I first joined the militia, there were not enough muskets. I was holding a long gun and fighting undead monsters at close range. The battle was fierce, and you would be scratched if you were not careful."

"Captain." Another recruit turned around and said, "You've said this so many times, we've long been tired of hearing it."

"Yeah?"

Kadir didn't take it seriously and whistled.

At this time, a messenger ran over and shouted: "Attention, everyone, be ready to shoot."

"Okay! Having said so much, your tension should be relieved a little."

Kadir suddenly changed his face to a serious one and said: "From now on, everyone must pay attention, obey my orders, and put up their muskets."

Indeed, listening to the captain's explanation, the tension I felt just now was reduced a bit.

The soldiers showed serious expressions and raised their muskets.

The Black Dragon King flew over, and his huge body made many soldiers gasp.

Is this the Black Dragon King, the target of the crusade? It's so big and looks very powerful.

The one who attracted the Black Dragon King in front was Owen wearing lava armor. Even the lord was so desperate, they must not back down!

Waiting quietly, the People's Army cannot act without authorization without the commander issuing an order.

Until Owen sent a signal into the air, Viscount Jarvis immediately shouted an order.

"fire!"

"Light the fire, hurry up!" Blue urged.

The five artillery pieces were fired at the same time, five loud noises were heard in succession, and the five cannonballs flew almost straight towards the Black Dragon King.

The loud noise in the distance attracted the Black Dragon King's attention, but it didn't pay much attention.

In the Black Dragon King's perception, human long-range weapons are just like tickling, and are not something to be afraid of at all.

Therefore, it chose to ignore the flying shells and continued to pursue Owen.

The results are self-evident, four of the five shells hit the Black Dragon King, and the one that missed flew past the dragon's tail.

This is the result of calculation in advance and adjusting the muzzle firing angle. The Black Dragon King is exactly at the predetermined position, and it is large, so it is normal for the hit rate to be high.

Among the four shells that hit, two hit the Black Dragon King's abdomen.

Although it did not penetrate, Owen saw that the area where the shell hit was deeply dented.

After the shell was ejected, cracks appeared on many of the dragon scales at the hit site. I feel that as long as the shell is hit again, it should be able to break through the protection of the dragon scales.

However, it is too difficult to let two shells hit the same part.

The other two shells each hit the dragon wing on one side. There was no protection from the dragon scales, so they were penetrated as expected, leaving a big hole.

Ouch——

After the bombardment, the Black Dragon King roared in pain, despising human beings and letting them suffer.

It had been a long time since he had experienced pain. The Black Dragon King was very uncomfortable with it, and the magic power emanating from his body vibrated violently.

He desperately flapped his leaky dragon wings, but the Black Dragon King's body had no tendency to rise and instead began to fall.

Seeing this, Owen reduced the output of the flight jets and allowed himself to hover high in the sky.

"Try the power of black powder."
