Chapter 110 Shooting range, live ammunition, general's interest
"How's it going? Does the target arrangement meet your requirements?" Lear asked, looking at the snowflakes in the sky that were being blown left and right by the cold wind.
"Then, let's get started." Lear exhaled a long white breath and stepped aside slightly.
"Stand back a little bit." Moriarty patted the back of Heyana's thick fur glove and said softly, then took a step forward and looked at White: "Try the burning arrow first."
"OK."
White nodded slightly, took off a white leather bag on his back, and took out a half-folded black heavy crossbow. Then, under the gazes of the other three people, White slowly unfolded the folded crossbow wings and fixed them.
, adjusted the hard crossbow body made of heavy iron wood, installed the bowstring made of tungsten steel wire, and slowly tightened it. More than five minutes had passed until the entire crossbow was assembled leisurely.
However, Moriarty and the other three people who witnessed the whole process not only did not feel bored at all, but felt a smooth and smooth feeling. It was as if in White's hands, the originally lifeless heavy crossbow actually had a faint breath of excitement.
"He really deserves to be a divine crossbowman." On the other hand, Lille watched White's every move intently, praising in his heart.
Finally, when White held up the debugged heavy crossbow steadily and pointed it at the target a hundred meters away, a breathtaking chilling air immediately rose up. This was the lion's roar type long-range heavy crossbow.
Silent killing intent.
Nodding with satisfaction, Moriarty walked to White's side, loaded an armor-piercing incendiary arrow into the crossbow, then stepped away, and then gave a soft "hmm".
After hearing Moriarty's instructions, White turned his eyes, as if he just glanced at the leather puppet a hundred meters away inadvertently, and suddenly tapped his index finger. There was only a "click" noise, and the tungsten steel wire crossbow string instantly
It scraped hard against the body of the ironwood crossbow, sparking a string of red sparks. In response to the strong stimulation of the crossbow string, the armor-piercing burning arrow immediately flew out at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, leaving behind a faint afterimage.
In an instant, it crossed a hundred meters and accurately hit the doll's chest, and the wind and snow blowing all over the sky seemed to have no effect on the flight trajectory of the crossbow.
Almost at the same time that the arrows pierced the doll's body, a dazzling red flame shot out violently from the two holes that penetrated the front and back of the leather armor, just like a firework lit at both ends. Then, a roiling flame
They quickly gathered together and turned into a blazing fire cloud that enveloped the leather puppet. In just one minute, the human target melted into a ball of soft mud under the raging fire cloud and fell weakly on the snow.
The original shape can no longer be distinguished.
"hiss!"
Hidden in a bunker not far away, everyone in Bonda's team couldn't help but take a collective breath when they saw the leather puppet that was easily destroyed by the armor-piercing burning arrow. When they turned to look at Moriarty again, there was nothing in their eyes except
In addition to the original closeness, there was also a deep sense of awe.
"Change the armored doll!"
At this time, Captain Lille's roar suddenly came from the other end of the target lane. Bonda immediately jumped up as if on conditioned reflex, led a small team of soldiers, moved out a new puppet wearing standard armor, and placed it somewhere.
At the new target position, he hurried back to the bunker and hid.
"Try the iron armor!" Standing next to Moriarty, Lear had a serious face and a steely light in his eyes.
"Of course." Moriarty smiled and loaded another armor-piercing incendiary arrow into the Roaring Crossbow.
Then, White raised the crossbow and fired again, and the flaming arrow accurately hit the center of the target's breastplate again.
However, it is not as completely penetrating the doll as before. Since the defensive power of iron armor is much higher than that of leather armor, the triangular crossbow cone of the armor-piercing burning arrow is unable to move forward after piercing the body of the doll no more than half a finger deep.
. However, just the break in this half finger is enough to open a channel for subsequent fire attacks. Like the most vicious fire snake, under the activation of the arrow cluster magic circle, the fire and sulfur grease mixed with the cold air,
In just one second, it penetrated into the chest and abdomen of the target puppet through the gap in the armor, and then quickly ignited a flame that was enough to melt metal and iron, melting all the virtual internal organs of the puppet.
"Change the steel armor!" There was no doubt that the armored puppet had been knocked down by one blow. Lille took a deep breath and yelled again.
"Yes!" Bonda also shouted in response, but it was more like he was trying to relieve the shaking in his chest.
The appearance of the steel-armored doll finally stopped the armor-piercing burning arrow's winning streak.
Because of the strong anti-strike and puncture capabilities of the steel armor itself, the armor-piercing burning arrows cannot penetrate the one-inch-thick frontal armor in one fell swoop, but are directly bounced away. In this way, the flame attacks of the burning arrows are also blocked.
Outside the armor, it is impossible to cause effective damage to the dolls inside the armor. Moreover, in actual combat, there are people who can freely run and jump while wearing steel armor weighing more than 150 pounds. How can there be middle-level warriors?
The above strength. In front of a warrior professional of this level, the flames burning like a cow from across the mountain are completely insignificant.
As for this result, Lille didn't know whether to be satisfied or disappointed.
"Fortunately, your armor-piercing burning arrows didn't do anything to my target puppet this time, otherwise I would really wonder if you used illusions on me." Lear looked at the steel-armored puppet that stood tall.
As well as the red flames burning on the snow a few meters away from his feet, he stood in silence for a moment, then turned back to Moriarty.
"Somewhat unexpected?" Moriarty asked.
"Indeed." Lear nodded a little apologetically: "I have to admit that miracles always happen to you. Come on, let's continue. Change to the armor-piercing bursting arrows, and the target is still the steel armored doll."
"Oh, okay." Moriarty smiled lightly.
Different from burning arrows, the arrow clusters of armor-piercing bursting arrows are smaller and shorter, but they have a faint orange glow, just like a small cone-shaped orange cake.
And just such a seemingly small and cute crossbow arrow, when it hit the steel-armored puppet at the end of the target lane, it instantly erupted into a terrifying wave of fire that was as high as ten meters. The roaring shock wave was enveloped in fatal heat, killing people in the blink of an eye.
Everything within a radius of ten meters around me was mercilessly devoured. Even standing a hundred meters away, Lille could clearly feel the heat of the explosion hitting his tense cheeks again and again. There was no doubt that it was hell.
The smell of fire.
Half a minute later, the raging flames were finally suppressed by the biting cold wind, and what appeared before everyone's eyes was the target puppet that was no longer human-shaped and the standard steel armor that was almost torn to pieces.
Killing the steel-armored doll instantly with one strike, the armor-piercing bursting arrow already possesses the terrifying power of a "mid-level killer".
Looking at the successful and ruined target, Lille forced himself to calm down, but his heart was beating harder and faster than ever.
"Moriarty, you stay here, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back!" Lear said in a deep voice, half-ordering to Moriarty, as if he was gritting his teeth viciously.
After saying that, the squadron leader turned around and left the shooting range without looking back, heading towards the Blue Crystal City at high speed. And before leaving, Lille even yelled and ordered the Bonda team to impose martial law on the entire shooting range.
"Probably going to find his boss." Moriarty shrugged and said casually.
"The boss of Lille? Isn't that General Cruyff?" White lowered his left arm holding the crossbow and turned around.
"Of course it's General Cruyff. After all, Lille doesn't have the right to decide on equal purchases." Moriarty smiled confidently.
About half an hour later, a group of cavalry rushed through the heavy snow and rushed into the empty and lonely city defense army shooting range. The leader of them was Cruyff, followed closely by Lille's mount.
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency General." As a junior and half subordinate, Moriarty, Heyna and White immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I heard from Lear that you have come up with something new, and it's very powerful, is that true?" As the host of Moriarty and Heyena's engagement, Cruyff didn't need any politeness at all, he jumped off his horse and got straight to the point.
asked.
"These are the two latest magic crossbow arrows developed by my studio." Moriarty said, handing one armor-piercing burning arrow and one armor-piercing bursting arrow to the old man.
"Magic crossbow?" The old man took it, glanced at it briefly, and then handed it back to Moriarty: "Try again, I want to see it with my own eyes."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Moriarty saluted.
Just like the previous test results, the new batch of leather armor, iron armor and steel armor puppets were also destroyed by armor-piercing burning arrows and explosive arrows without any suspense.
After witnessing the effect of live ammunition, Cruyff was silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "How do you plan to sell these two pieces of equipment?"
"The armor-piercing burning arrows are priced at eighty gold coins each; as for the armor-piercing bursting arrows, they are two hundred and fifty gold coins each." Moriarty directly reported the calculated price without any hesitation.
Upon first hearing, some people may think that Moriarty's asking price is too harsh, but in fact such a price is already quite generous. After all, for fire-promoting products, a 100% profit margin is just an average. Moreover, armor-breaking
Exploding arrows are still a powerful weapon that can threaten mid-level warrior professionals, and they are a unique product of Earth Studio, so the prices of eighty and two hundred and fifty gold coins are really not high.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take six samples away and talk to you again in three days." The old man is a person who knows the goods and has been dealing with the procurement of various military supplies all year round, so he immediately saw that Moriarty didn't
The lion opened his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
"Of course, General. The Earth Studio is always at your call." Moriarty smiled slightly and bowed to the old man.
"Haha, I'm afraid Azurite City will be quite lively this time." He took another deep look at Moriarty, Cruyff also smiled with an unclear meaning, got on his horse, and left the shooting range with the guards.
Lille, who was the only one left, had a look of shock and admiration on his face. He couldn't say anything and just raised his thumb towards his mage advisor, and didn't put it down for a long time.
