"I know you are all worried. With the Templars gone, can Border Guard Town survive this winter safely? What is certain is that the city wall has been repaired and has certain defensive capabilities, but this is not enough."

After a pause, Owen asked loudly: "Don't you think it's strange? Why did I choose to give a speech in this place today?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience looked at each other, which was indeed strange.

Normally, he would choose to give a speech in the town square, and the same is true for the Lord's first appearance.

Looking around at the crowded crowd, some people wondered whether they thought the square was too small and chose to give their speech in a wide space.

After a long while, Owen answered: "That's because I want to show you a powerful weapon that can easily destroy a large number of undead monsters. Everyone knows how powerful the Templars are. And the weapon I want to show you

It’s no less powerful than them, and anyone can use it!”

After hearing what the lord said, the crowd in the audience did not burst into cheers.

The Templars are extremely powerful beings in everyone's eyes. They actually have powerful weapons that are equivalent to the Templars, and ordinary people can use them?!

This is completely unimaginable to them, so they are very doubtful about it.

Needless to say, let everyone see the power of black powder with their own eyes. Owen clapped his hands, and Mapel in the audience walked up to the high platform holding the explosive bag made yesterday in his hands.

Everyone present focused their attention on the thing in Mapel's hand, carefully observing the so-called powerful weapon mentioned by the lord.

It looks simple and unpretentious in appearance. It seems to be something wrapped in cowhide, with ropes wrapped around the outside several times and tied very tightly.

That’s it?

This is a common reaction from everyone, and they can’t see where the strength lies.

Walking to Mapel, Owen put his hand on the explosive package and explained to everyone.

"This weapon is called an explosive pack. There is a fuse underneath. After being ignited, it will be completely detonated in about ten breaths, causing great damage to the surrounding area."

Taking off his hand, he continued: "It is precisely because the power of the explosive bag is so amazing that I will use a trebuchet to throw it in the direction of the Sky Mountains later. Everyone is looking over there!"

Owen raised his left hand to indicate the direction to the side of the platform, and everyone followed the gesture and looked.

At some point, a large object covered by canvas appeared on the left side of the high platform. Almost as soon as the lord finished speaking, a knight next to him pulled down the canvas with force, revealing the large instrument inside - a trebuchet.

Good guy, even this thing has been transported here. You must know that there are only four trebuchets in the entire Border Guard Town, and they are all placed on the north wall for defense. Ordinary people have no chance to see them.

Instructing Mapel to follow him with his eyes, Owen walked down the platform and came to the trebuchet.

Before making the throw, Irving first issued a warning to those present.

"Before the display, I want to tell you that after the explosive package is thrown, please cover your ears immediately, especially those with children. When the explosive package explodes, it will make a huge noise. If you are scared to cry,

Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Many parents who brought their children over for lunch nodded. The lord said so, so it's better to be careful.

So, let’s start showing off.

Owen turned his head and nodded to a knight next to the trebuchet. The latter instructed another knight to come over. The two of them turned the winch together and gradually pulled down the arm of the trebuchet.

After it was pulled down, another knight fixed the arm with a live hook and released the hooked rope that pulled down the arm.

After preparations were completed, Mapel walked over with the explosive bag, placed it on the grenade belt, and then lit the fuse.

Seeing white smoke coming out of the lead, she quickly gave orders to the knight next to her.

"Make a cast!"

The knight nodded, then faced the direction of the Sky Mountains and shouted: "Ready - let go!"

The knight responsible for fixing the arm had already drawn his sword and was ready. As soon as he received the order, he immediately swung it down to cut off the rope connected to the live hook.

Driven by the counterweight, the boom quickly raised, drew a huge arc, and threw the explosive package toward the Sky Mountain Range. When the counterweight fell completely, the explosive package flew from the grenade belt at an angle of about 45 degrees.

out.

Seeing this, Owen quickly covered his ears with both hands. From the moment he lit the fuse, he had been counting down in his mind.

Seven breaths.

Even the lord treated him with such caution, many people quickly imitated his example and covered their ears. Especially those with children, they covered their children's ears tightly. Sensible children would stretch out their little hands to help their parents cover their ears.

Even though Owen had clearly warned him, some people were still indifferent. They felt that the lord was just scaremongering, and they were thinking about how to make fun of the lord when the time came.

Three breaths.

It could already be seen from a distance that the thrown explosive packets fell on the mountainside of a mountain.

One breath.

There are a few people who cannot bear their temper after all. They always feel that a long time has passed without any movement, and they continue to cover their ears like fools.

Could it be a failure? Or maybe the lord is telling lies, those people thought.

At this moment, a shocking loud noise suddenly resounded throughout the sky, shaking even the earth.

Due to the limited range of the trebuchet, the explosion point was not too far from the high platform. The sound of explosions and shock waves arrived one after another, and those who were unprepared only felt a buzz, and the world suddenly became quiet.

The fire flashed from the mountainside, and a large amount of gravel and debris was blown into the sky. The tremor of the earth was fleeting, and a large amount of black smoke slowly rose, followed by gravel falling like rain.

and soil residue.

When it first exploded, Owen could even hear the platform behind him creaking.

The temporary platform was indeed not strong, so be sure not to collapse, he prayed silently in his heart.

Fortunately, the high platform survived and did not fall.

Wow ah ah ah——

Even if protective measures are taken, many children are still frightened and cry on the spot. They have never seen such a scene before, it is so scary!

Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect the weapon to be so powerful. No wonder the lord is so confident, using it to deal with undead monsters is more than enough.

"This is like the thunder of a god!"

I don’t know who sighed and said this first, and more and more people followed.

"Thunder! Our lord has mastered the power of gods!"

"Great! We are saved now!"

"The lord is our savior!"

[Ouch! You really worked hard to ask for help.] Winster said suddenly.

It turned out that the requester was adding fuel to the fire, and Owen even felt a little embarrassed.
