Sophia picked up the telescope and looked into the tube.
Just this one sight scared Sophia so much that she almost threw her telescope under the city wall.
"Dear me!" Reggie grabbed the telescope, "You know how much effort I spent on this thing!"
Sophia's face looked very bad. This magical stick narrowed the distance. The enemy camp hundreds of feet away was actually right in front of her inside this stick.
"This is your witchcraft again, right? Are you willing to teach me this witchcraft?"
"Not yet," Reggie said. "When the battle is over, I can give this to you. Now take a good look at the enemy's camp."
Sophia did so, and as Reggie said, the camp with the flags fluttering was actually empty. Dozens of soldiers with horns gathered in the center of the camp and played a few sounds from time to time.
"Damn it, I was actually deceived by him," Sophia said angrily, "I thought such a camp could accommodate at least 50,000 people."
Reggie said: "Not that many. This camp can accommodate at most 10,000 people, but I guess Sean doesn't even have 10,000 people."
Sophia was very upset: "In order to attack his camp, you don't know how much black powder and stones I wasted!"
Reggie shrugged and said, "I don't think the black powder and stones are considered a loss. If you look further north, have you seen those snowdrifts?"
Sophia looked to the north. About two hundred feet away from the camp, she could vaguely see several huge snowdrifts. If it were not for the help of a telescope, these snowdrifts would not be visible to the naked eye on the vast white snow.
identify.
"What are these snowdrifts for?"
Reggie said: "If I guess correctly, there is a trebuchet hidden under the snowdrift. If you really send troops to their camp, Sean will definitely give you a surprise."
Sophia gritted her teeth and said: "I will also give him a surprise. I will rush over with the cavalry tonight and burn all his trebuchets."
"It's not that easy," Reggie shook his head. "Shawn's army should be near the trebuchet. In any case, his troops are still stronger than yours. As long as you lead the troops out of the fortress, you will be hit by him."
trap."
"Then what should I do? Stay here and pretend I don't know anything?" Sophia said with a helpless look, "Stop being so pretentious, you know I'm not good at fighting."
Reggie said: "If you were Sean, would you load the trebuchet with black powder or stones?"
Sophia said: "Of course it's a black fan, he wants to blow me up right away."
"You also have anti-fans, I also have anti-fans, he also has anti-fans, we all have anti-fans, this battle is very complicated," Reggie said, "Now we have two choices, the safest option is that we always defend
In the fortress, I will ensure your food supply, and wait until Sean knocks on the door when he can't help it anymore, and then we will give him a head-on blow."
Sophia shook her head and said: "I can't wait. The situation in Golden Light City is very dangerous. I want to fight quickly."
"Then the white elves will be dispatched," Reggie said. "Shawn may die in this battle. Are you sure you are ready?"
Sophia took a deep breath, nodded and said: "I'm ready, you still want to turn into that huge ball, right?"
"Yes, throwing the ghost down from the air," Reggie said with a sinister smile, "I am only allowed to hit him, but he is not allowed to hit me. This feeling is really amazing."
Reggie's laughter disgusted Sophia, and she still can't forget the fear of being completely dominated by Reggie that night.
But this time the situation was different. Sophia glanced at Reggie and said, "You'd better not use that spell."
"Are you feeling sorry for your brother?"
"Of course not," Sophia handed the binoculars to Reggie and said, "Look at the center of the camp, do you see what that is?"
Reggie took a telescope and looked at it for a while. There seemed to be two strange chariots in the center of the camp. There were complex mechanical devices on the vehicles, and the main part seemed to be a huge crossbow.
"This is……"
"This is the dragon-slaying crossbow," Sophia said. "When we were in Golden Light City, I told Sean about your spells and your white ghost. He asked the chief bachelor of Bayer Country, and the bachelor told him that
It's not witchcraft, it's the breath of a dragon. Sean firmly believes that you are a dragon, so he invited the dragon slayer."
"Wait, this is a big misunderstanding," Reggie quickly explained, "Actually, I am..."
"I know you are a hell wizard. I have seen dragons. The way you fly is completely different from a dragon." Sophia pointed to the giant crossbows. "But you still have to be careful. These dragon slayers have real abilities."
Their giant crossbows can shoot through the dragon's scales, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist them either."
"Of course I can't resist it, the balloon is very soft." Cold sweat flowed from his forehead to his heels. Reggie began to recall what happened in the past few days. Calaf seemed to have mentioned this crossbow to him.
It was indeed mentioned that Khalaf has always wanted to make a crossbow. He said that if the material of the crossbow arm is added with crushed snow stones, the range of the crossbow can reach up to 1,800 feet (600 meters), and it can shoot down the sky.
of dragon.
What is the concept of one thousand and eight feet? According to Reggie's calculations, the speed of this crossbow bow is probably close to two hundred meters per second. Even at such a speed, the crossbow arrow can still exert great power even at an altitude of more than 100 meters.
There are at least two ballistae in the camp, and these two ballistae are definitely a nightmare for hot air balloons.
Sophia knew the dragon-slaying crossbow very well. She repeatedly told Reggie: "If you want to use your magic, remember to fly faster. The dragon-slaying crossbow fires very slowly. Each time a crossbow arrow is fired, it takes at least ninety breaths."
time."
Ninety breaths, about five minutes.
Think about the touching flying speed of a hot air balloon. Let alone five minutes, even after fifteen minutes, it will still remain in the sight of the dragon slayer.
Increasing the flying height can avoid crossbow arrows. Judging from the current technical capabilities, it is more than enough to fly to a height of more than 500 meters.
But dropping bombs from a height of more than 500 meters becomes a very funny thing. The deviation between the landing point and the target position may be more than a thousand feet. Judging from the explosive power of black powder, this is not bombing.
, but to set off fireworks for the enemy.
Sean placed the dragon-slaying crossbow in a conspicuous place in the military camp just to scare himself.
This is just an empty camp used as a bait. In Sean's real camp, there are countless dragon-slaying crossbows like this.
As long as there is a dragon-slaying crossbow, the hot air balloon cannot approach it.
Without the ultimate weapon, the hot air balloon, Reggie's arrogance was instantly extinguished.
He asked Sophia to arrange a separate room for him. He needed to calm down alone and rethink his tactical arrangements.
…
Sean was drinking white fruit wine in the tent. Since he became the king, he ordered the demolition of all workshops that brewed wine and ale, especially ale. Sean regarded it as a drink of the devil. Drinking ale in the Bayer Kingdom will be punished.
Cutting out one's tongue and selling ale would be punishable by death.
"Your Majesty the King, Reggie Victor has arrived at Hanmaple Fortress." Assistant Minister Gwen walked into the tent with the spy's information.
"Very good, this guinea pig is indeed here." Sean put the wine glass aside and asked the guard to bring a bag of gold coins. He turned to another guard and said: "Go and call the Prime Minister and call all the Dragon Slayers."
