"Honored Sir, this is possible. As long as you slightly modify the fixed frame of the projector, you can also install the magic energy cannon on the back of the one-eyed troll!"
"Very well, Ruba, then I'll leave this matter to you!"
Narant is very satisfied!
"Yes, my lord!"
Ruba agreed to the matter, and Nalant waited for him to complete the fort housing the magic cannon.
Soon, two days later, the cannon mount of this magic energy cannon was finally completed.
Narant immediately rushed to the workshop to conduct experiments.
Two one-eyed trolls were found, and the gun mount that could hold the magic energy cannon was fixed on the one-eyed troll's back with a chain belt.
Immediately, the magic energy cannon was fixed on it, and Nalant directly ordered the one-eyed troll to start running and jumping, doing various motion simulations.
It took half an hour to try out actions in different environments.
It proved that the gun mount was indeed strong enough, and the one-eyed troll's movements were not restricted.
In this way, Narant finally conducted the last test, which was the shooting test.
This shooting test was different from two days ago.
The reason is very simple. The cannon this time is placed on the back of the one-eyed troll, so the accuracy of the shooting may be difficult to control.
"Troll, get down!"
Following the goblin's instructions, the troll carrying the magic energy cannon immediately knelt down on the ground.
As he leaned down, the magic energy cannon on his back was also revealed, with the muzzle pointed forward.
The goblin who had previously ordered the troll immediately began to aim at the boulder more than 200 meters ahead...
After taking aim, the goblin's iron piece with the inscription in his hand was directly attached to the mana crystal.
Buzz!
Whoosh!
With a buzzing sound, the magic energy cannon immediately began to gather energy. When the energy gathered enough, the goblin retracted the iron piece, and the purple light group in the muzzle instantly shot forward.
Boom!
Following a bang, a roar came from more than two hundred meters away.
However, Nalant immediately frowned.
The reason is very simple, that is, the shot did not accurately hit the rock target in the distance, and the distance was off by about ten meters.
Although it makes no difference when facing a large group of enemies.
But what if we are dealing with a single enemy?
Nalant immediately called the goblin and asked about the aiming situation.
"Honorable Sir, I have tried my best to aim just now, but the stand that fixes the magic cannon cannot move, so I can only order the troll slave to adjust the direction."
"But the troll slave couldn't control the size of the range, so he missed the target in the end!"
The goblin responsible for firing was captured from the airship and was very familiar with operating the magic cannon.
At this moment, he didn't hit the target. Facing Nalant's inquiry, he felt extremely uneasy.
"Why can't the magic cannon turn?" Nalant heard this and immediately stepped on the one-eyed troll's back.
The one-eyed troll is four to five meters tall, and its back is quite broad.
When Nalant aimed the magic cannon at a distant target, he found that aiming at this moment was not convenient.
Because this magic energy cannon is fixed and has no steering device.
In this way, if you want to change the angle, you need to order the troll to change its posture.
Although the one-eyed troll is obedient, he doesn't know how much angle to control to fire accurately. This is not only troublesome, but also has a very large deviation.
"Ruba, come up here!"
Narant immediately called Ruba!
"Luba, please change the upper part of this gun mount and set it up to a device that can rotate in all directions!"
Narant went straight to pointing out what needed to be changed.
"Honored Sir, I know what you said about changing the rotation, but I don't know what kind of method can be used to achieve the effect you have!" Ruba scratched his head and felt embarrassed.
If placed in previous lives, these mechanical structures would have been very simple, and they could be seen on many daily items.
For example, the simplest one is a camera support stand.
But in this world, it is still a relatively new existence.
Nalant didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately found a pen and paper to draw a schematic diagram of the tripod's fulcrum connection.
That is, a spherical-shaped movable contact.
This is mainly because the process is the simplest.
Anyway, the magic cannon has no recoil, so you don’t need to worry too much about the strength of the contacts.
Nalant even designed a gun-like handle based on the tail end of the magic energy cannon.
In this way, when it comes time to actually shoot, the goblin can directly aim stably like carrying a big gun.
"My lord, these two items of yours are so exquisite!"
When the chief craftsman Luba saw the design drawing and learned about the function and principle of the object from Nalant, he immediately looked at Zhuang Kang with admiration.
This was a very simple structure in the previous life, but in this era it is still an extremely new and advanced thing.
After all, in this backward world, the level of technology has not improved, and the level of manufacturing is even worse.
"Luba, go and forge it quickly. Sir, I'm waiting to see the effect!"
Narant waved his hand and dismissed Luba.
And this thing is forged very quickly, without the help of the black tower, and it was just forged in the afternoon.
The rotating contact is forged from metal.
There is a semicircular groove at the bottom and a ball buckle at the top.
Put the ball buckle into the groove, so that it can complete the 360-degree rotation.
Of course, in order to prevent the ball from falling off and to facilitate control.
The semicircular groove is divided into two parts and can be disassembled.
After placing the ball in this way, tighten the bolts on both sides to prevent the buckle from loosening, control the degree of lifting of the two, and adjust the required rotation force at any time.
Except for the section connected to the magic energy cannon, the gun handle is made of an iron bracket, and behind it is a large wooden gun stock.
After the gun stock is installed, it really looks a bit like the big gun in the hands of the dwarf soldiers in the previous life of Warcraft.
After all, this is the caliber of a six-pounder gun. Even if it is not firing gunpowder, the barrel is terrifyingly large.
The only difference is that the person operating this large 'musket' is not a dwarf but a goblin.
"If there is a chance in the future, I might be able to trick a few dwarves into coming over and form a team of magic muskets!"
Nalant was looking forward to the scene of hundreds of dwarves carrying large muskets and bombarding the enemy.
And with the strong physique of dwarves, it is completely possible for them to hold such a large musket with their bare hands.
While Nalant's thoughts were wandering, the goblin had already begun to swear again.
Buzz!
Whoosh!
As the magic energy cannon was fully charged, a purple light ball shot out again.
Boom!
Soon, there was an explosion in the distance.
But this time, the purple energy ball fired accurately hit the target more than two hundred meters away.
"It's really amazing! My noble lord, you are really a wise human being!"
After the goblin responsible for shooting jumped off the back of the one-eyed troll, he immediately ran to Nalant excitedly and praised him.
Because this modification of the gun mount gave him an unprecedented shooting experience.
In the past, let alone shooting on the back of this one-eyed troll.
Even on an airship, it's just a simple wooden frame.
In order to hit the target, several goblins need to work together to move the gun mount around before aiming at the target.
But now, he is just a goblin, and if he adjusts the direction of his arm slightly, he can shoot wherever he wants.
"Haha, as long as it works!" Nalant didn't feel much sense of accomplishment, mainly because this 'creation and invention' was too simple.
Immediately, he told Luba to forge a few more accessories for this gun mount in the past few days, because the magic cannon will continue to be produced in the future.
The matter of the magic cannon has been resolved, and in the next few days, Nalant's preparations for the expedition will become more and more complete.
In the Magician Legion, many boys and girls also completed their breakthroughs and became junior magicians.
In this regard, Nalant fulfilled his original promise. As long as the first fifty people completed the breakthrough, they would be rewarded with cream cakes.
Of course, those who complete the breakthrough after fifty will not be without rewards, but the prizes will be replaced by white sugar and white bread.
Although it is said that if boys and girls want to make rapid progress, there must be a competitive relationship between them, but he also needs to show a little kindness so that all the magicians can feel his 'love'.
As the day of the expedition drew closer, Nalant finally obtained the second magic tool.
That is the magic carriage.
When the magic carriage was forged, Nalant immediately went to check it out.
The total length of the magic carriage is eight meters. If you add a roof, it would be somewhat similar to a walking tractor.
Nalant immediately tested the performance of this magic carriage.
I found that the top speed can reach 50 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the speed of a fast horse running at full speed.
Of course, for such a transportation vehicle, in addition to speed, carrying capacity is the most important.
Nalant directly found twenty of his men, had them squeeze into the carriage of the magic energy carriage, and then began to try to drive.
I found that even if it carried twenty people, this magic carriage was still full of power.
The only difference is that the consumption of magic energy will increase.
However, compared to the firing of the magic energy cannon, the energy used to drive the magic energy vehicle is not very economical.
After confirming the ability of the magic car, Nalant did not hesitate and directly ordered the workshop to forge it with all its strength.
If for no other reason than to be in position so that the magician army can quickly follow the team.
The physical problem of a magician is the same for everyone except Nalant himself.
In this way, in order to facilitate the rapid transfer of these boys and girls, when these boys and girls cannot yet ride a horse, this kind of transportation is the most suitable.
Time passed and it was finally the day to set off.
That morning, Nalant put on his armor under Lilia's service, and then walked out of the castle.
Under the castle, more than two thousand people were already waiting.
These two thousand people were all the people on Narant's expedition.
Among them, there are 100 members from the Wild Wolf Knights and 250 members from the Storm Knights.
In addition, there are fifty people in the long-range attack team and one hundred long archers.
Next is the spear team of 200 people and the medical team of 25 people.
These are all Nalant's old subordinates.
The total number of people is more than 700.
In addition to these old subordinates, a hundred magician legions were also added to the team this time.
As of today, all the boys and girls in the Magic Legion have achieved breakthroughs.
In this way, Nalant's magician army is already worthy of its name.
In addition to the magician army, the remaining ones are the goblin team and the one-eyed troll.
There are thirty-five one-eyed trolls, five of which have magic cannons on their backs.
And the rest are all goblins.
Although these goblins seemed useless in the last battle, they all have the strength of extraordinary knights, and they are also useful combat power for Nalant now.
Moreover, these goblins are also good at logistics, and generally can be fought and used as coolies.
As for the two goblin airships, Nalant did not take them away.
Instead, he stayed in the territory just in case.
After all, his departure this time has emptied all the high-end combat power of the Storm Territory. In order to prevent accidents, it is very necessary for the two airships to stay behind.
The operation of the airship was handed over to Thomas.
It is actually not difficult to operate an airship. It is a very fool-like operation, unlike operating an airplane in the previous life.
Because the strength of the airship lies in its shield and magic cannon.
Nalant's preparation did not even require the airship to leave the castle. If he really encountered an enemy, he only needed to let Thomas control the airship to fly high into the sky, and then blast the enemy hard.
At a height of three to four hundred meters, as long as there are no sky knights, no matter how many are there, they are here to deliver food. Of the thirty energy crystals, Nalant left five for the magic airship.
It is enough for each magic airship to fire thirty rounds of bombardment, which is equivalent to thirty full-force attacks by the Earth Knight.
"Reporting to your lord, all expedition personnel have been assembled!"
"Reporting to your noble lord, our Goblin legion has also been assembled!"
When Nalant stood still, Quick and the Goblin leader Lumba immediately stepped forward to report.
"Very good!" Nalant nodded and then looked at everyone.
"In this expedition, we are going to deal with dark creatures!"
"We are not fighting alone, the entire Holy Alliance and even other races in the Holy Continent will also participate!"
"So, I hope you will perform well in this war and show the majesty of our Storm Territory!"
"Tell me, sir, do you have this confidence?"
"Have confidence!"
"louder please!"
"Sir, we are confident!" As Nalant repeated, the soldiers immediately roared.
"Very good. In this battle, your Lord's rules remain the same, that is, those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished!"
"Now, everyone, let's go!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction, then mounted the white dragon and directly ordered the team to set off with a wave of his hand.
"Your Majesty has your order, let's go!"
"Set off!"
As the orders were passed on one after another, the team began to head towards the northern road.
Nalant walked at the front of the team with a few lucky girls.
This time he needed to go to New Tulip City to meet up with Bernard and others, and then headed west.
Eventually, all alliance teams will meet at the Thorn Fortress in the west.
There is a fortress jointly controlled by the Holy Alliance. Once you leave the fortress, there is no danger.
Although we have not immediately entered the area invaded and occupied by dark creatures, it is not as safe as the interior of the Holy Continent.
Because dark creatures will appear outside Thorn Fortress at any time.
