"Oh? What is it?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's face hidden in the helmet couldn't help but reveal a curious expression.
"It's a magic cannon!" Chaoyan's slightly broken voice from the other side immediately passed through his ears.
Although he couldn't see her expression, Lei Xiao could still hear a hint of solemnity in her tone.
Next, through Chaoyan's explanation, Lei Xiao learned.
The magic cannon in this world is, to put it bluntly, a special magic amplifier.
After injecting a large amount of magic power, it can be launched.
In terms of range and power, it far exceeds ordinary spells with the same magic power consumption.
Moreover, depending on the magic array embedded in the magic cannon itself, the effects it can produce are also different, but without exception, they can all cause terrible lethality.
In addition, the disadvantage of the magic cannon is that after firing once, it requires a long cooling time and cannot be used continuously.
Finally, according to Chaoyan's judgment, judging from the abnormal aura and the opponent's strength.
This magic cannon should be a second-level magic cannon that can fire powerful second-level magic.
Although under normal circumstances, it cannot directly cause fatal damage to strong people above level three.
But for soldiers below the second level, it poses a fatal threat.
As for why this conclusion was reached.
First, because the magic cannon itself is very rare, and the cost of making it is too expensive, and it is rare to have one above level three.
The second reason is that for magic cannons of level three and above, the amount of magic energy required to be charged and the cooling time are much higher than those of level two.
For most of the soldiers here, who are on the battlefield below the second level, naturally the second level magic cannon is more efficient.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao involuntarily took a few steps back. Although the pendant [Blessing of the Southern Cross] he wore on his chest could perfectly withstand a fatal attack of level 5 or below.
But it is a life-saving thing. It requires 24 hours of charging time before it can take effect again. Naturally, it cannot be wasted casually.
On the other side, the five siege phalanxes led by Mora were close to the shooting range of the enemy fortress.
At this moment, a strong wave of energy suddenly surged above the fortress, and even Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
Immediately, there was a loud roar.
An inconspicuous black dot suddenly appeared in the sky above the heavy knight phalanx and a light cavalry phalanx that were rushing forward.
In an instant, the Holy Night soldiers who were preparing to attack the city did not wait for the reaction.
The black dot suddenly began to expand and grow, and then quickly completely enveloped more than fifty soldiers, forming a black translucent sphere that blocked the sky and the sun.
In confusion, the soldiers in the shadows just had time to look above their heads.
The next second, the huge black sphere suddenly began to shrink inward, and together with more than fifty soldiers, disappeared directly in front of everyone, leaving only incomplete limbs at the edge that were not completely covered.
Broken arm.
Since all this happened in a flash of lightning, it was not until everyone came to their senses.
More than twenty second-order heavy cavalry and more than thirty first-order light cavalry had been completely swallowed by the black hole-like object and disappeared without a trace.
Because there is a low-lying area in front of the fortress.
Therefore, Lei Xiao, who was in the last row of the team, also saw this scene clearly.
"Good guy, is this the power of the magic cannon?"
After a moment of shock, Lei Xiao's throat rolled, he couldn't help but lick his lips, and then showed a look of anticipation: "I wonder if this thing can be upgraded?
If there is a chance soon, I must get this magic cannon."
"Lord, that was the second-level magic of the space system: black hole!
An ordinary black hole can only swallow a few people at most, but this time it can swallow half a squadron. It seems that it is indeed a second-order space magic cannon."
On the other side, Chao Yan's slightly nervous voice came from Lei Xiao's side again.
"I see." After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao asked again: "Is there any possibility of this kind of magic cannon exploding and then exploding?"
"ah?"
Hearing this, Chaoyan's voice faltered, and he was obviously stunned.
Then he replied: "Back to Lord, yes, there is. Unless the magic cannon is charged too much and exceeds the maximum load that the magic cannon can bear, there is a possibility of explosion.
However, even a first-level magic apprentice can easily sense this critical point, so under normal circumstances, this will not happen."
"Understood." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to look at the battlefield not far away quietly.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, looking at the second-level heavy knights that he had worked hard to train for many years, more than 20 of them were killed in an instant, Mora felt that his heart was bleeding.
But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.
Therefore, she bit her red lips and led the other frightened Holy Night warriors to continue rushing towards the fortress.
"There are actually magic cannons..."
On the other side, Baron Yes, who was following closely behind, also had big beads of sweat on his head.
With his strength, he can at most suppress an enemy third-level strongman on the fortress.
However, now, coupled with a powerful magic cannon, it undoubtedly indicates that their possibility of capturing this fortress has dropped to the lowest point.
But the military orders are like mountains.
Next, the brutal siege battle began.
Before the fortress in front had fully entered the shooting range, Baron Yes couldn't wait to command three squadrons of magicians and launched the first wave of attacks.
After throwing a series of colorful long-range magic.
In exchange, the enemies on the fortress fought back even more fiercely.
As a result, another group of soldiers attacking the city from the front screamed and fell down.
Just like this, after a few rounds, although Baron Yes's fire magic was very good, after all, it was difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists.
In addition, the opponent fired another magic cannon, so after throwing down hundreds of corpses again, this mixed magic war brigade had no choice but to return home without even touching the top of the wall.
"Damn it! These bastards!"
After retreating in defeat, Maura said angrily while stroking the scattered hair on her forehead.
It can be clearly heard that despite her tough tone, what is revealed in her tone is more of a sense of powerlessness. The previous high spirits and self-confidence have long since disappeared.
"It seems that we have to think of other ways.
Otherwise, even if our entire army is wiped out, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything to the other side." Baron Yess across from him sighed and shook his head.
Because he had forcibly received several spells from the opponent just now, his originally clean and neat aristocratic clothes had several big holes in them, and he looked quite embarrassed.
"Report!"
At this moment, several scouts who were scouting the movements of other enemies nearby galloped back one after another.
The leader turned over and dismounted, quickly came to Baron Yes, clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency, Captain, new enemy traces have been found two kilometers away, and they are marching towards us.
The number is approximately 2 squadrons of light cavalry and 3 squadrons of infantry!”
Upon hearing this, Baron Yes and the female guard knight Mora were both stunned and began to look at each other.
There are fortresses in front of us and pursuers behind us. This is a wave that keeps rising again and again.
At this moment, a slightly lazy voice suddenly rang from behind the two of them: "You two captains, why don't you give this fortress to my squadron to deal with it?"
