Release that Witch Chapter 356: 「152！」
Can ordinary people beat Exceed Witch's weapon?
After Wendy left, Agatha has been thinking about this sentence. Do they really know what Exceed is?
Unfortunately I do n’t have a balanced magic stone on hand, otherwise I can clearly understand the magic power and type of these people.
Waiting for impatientness, Nightingale appeared at the door of her room, "His Highness invites you to visit the new weapon for test firing, if you don't want to go"
"I'll go," she whispered, "please lead the way."
After seeing the prince Roland yawning, Agatha suddenly had the urge to shake him with scum on his face, so as to keep him awake. However, this kind of behavior that is likely to cause misunderstanding of other witch can only be considered in the end.
Out of the castle, she was the first time to see the full picture of this small town during the day.
In the background of heavy snow, the first thing that comes to my mind is that a neat and orderly double-storey house stands side by side with the same shape and size. The white outline and the red brick sloping roof look particularly coordinated. The black streets are all going straight, dividing the town into blocks of similar size and looking from a distance into the distance. The view you see is a cycle of buildings, trees, streets, trees, and streets, just like a layer Laminated up to be average.
Even if it is Taqila, the inner city cannot be so neat and orderly!
But what made her feel that she had brought back a city is that there is no other building in this small town worthy of a glance. Even the castle itself is far less magnificent than the Taqila's high tower.
After all, it's just a small town. Agatha snorted disdainfully and turned to look at Nightingale, "How many people live here?"
"Well ... In the beginning, there were only more than 2,000 people. Now, together with the refugees in the north and the south, it is already close to 30,000."
Two thousand people dare to say that they want to defeat Devil. It is simply idiots and so on. Three ... thousand thirty thousand? Agatha widened his eyes, and Taqila only accommodated 50,000 people at its peak. This slap-sized place can have 30,000 residents? Doesn't she count the population of the surrounding villages?
Although these boxy brick houses do seem to accommodate more occupants than wooden cottages, the increase in residents is not a simple number stacking. When the population exceeds a limit, the demands on the city will increase exponentially. Firstly, the demand for food and water has increased sharply, secondly, the deterioration of public order caused by the expansion of shacks and slums, and finally the disposal of manure has become a difficult problem.
During the second stage of the second War of Divine Will, Taqila encountered such a problem. With the fall of major cities, the number of influxes of Holy City surged. The population beyond the burden not only did not enhance the defense force, but actually paralyzed the city It was not until Federation forced to clear a group of refugees that the situation stabilized.
Just because of the experience, Agatha knows the difficulty of expanding the urban population. Seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, she was doubtful in her heart. Maybe Nightingale didn't know the answer at all, but she was kidding herself.
I will ask Wendy for such questions in the future. She thinks that at least the latter's attitude seems more sincere.
Crossing the streets, Agatha followed the prince and others to board a section of the wall made of mud. This low wall is completely sturdy and sturdy. It has no barbs and no moats around it. Devil does not even need engineering equipment, it can climb up with hands and feet alone.
The disappointment in her heart aggravated again.
The city wall has a platform that protrudes back and forth every hundred steps or so, and seems to be left to erect a crossbow. Not long after walking along the top of the wall, Agatha quickly saw the subject of this test.
The shape of weapon is so special that it's hard to ignore its existence.
It's a long, tubular object made of metal, a bit like an iron spear that has been enlarged several times, but it has no spear tip. It is smooth and looks silvery gray, not like iron. The components at the end of the long tube are more complicated. In addition to the fixed bracket, there are two shorter tubes that fit above and below the main pipe. There are no ropes and arrow slots. From the outside, it does n’t look like an enlarged bed crossbow or Catapult.
But she also didn't figure out how to attack this enemy.
"This is Border Town's's latest development of weapon, a 152mm stronghold standard cannon symbolizing justice and glory!" Prince Yang said, "Compared to the twelve-pound field gun, it has a number of improvements and outstanding indicators. Definitely an epoch-making weapon! "
Agatha can't help frowning, what justice and glory, stronghold standard type, sounds very frivolous. The subsequent series of introductions are very mouth-watering and are completely new words. Is he really a prince with a lot of knowledge in Wendy's mouth and trusted by witches?
"Papapa," only Nightingale applauded at the scene, and the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.
"cough cough," Roland cleared his throat, "So don't talk nonsense, test now. Iron Axe, let's get started."
"Yes, Your Highness." The three men in uniform uniform acted immediately.
Agatha is standing by, watching every action of these people intently, hoping to understand the operation principle of this weapon from it.
I saw one person slide down the iron block at the end of the long tube, and the other immediately inserted an orange-yellow pointed object into the tube, and then closed the iron block.
"Report, ready, ready to launch!"
"Everyone covers their ears," the prince gave a demonstration, nodded, "fire."
Wait a minute ... ready so soon? Agatha just wanted to ask, a loud noise suddenly exploded in my ears! There was a sudden buzz in her head, and there was a sudden silence. The long metal tube front segment emits an orange-red flame, which is dazzling and short-lived. At that moment, she felt the powerful power contained in the flame. The wall under her feet seemed to tremble, and a heat wave rushed on her face, her body almost stood still. Live like two steps back. The cannon itself sank back fiercely, but soon it returned to its original position smoothly.
"" Nightingale supported her from behind, and seemed to be saying something, but she could only hear the faint, intermittent words, as if they were coming from far away ... until the buzz gradually faded, Hearing returned to normal, "Are you okay?"
She shook her head and moved her eyes toward the open snow, but she didn't see any change.
Is this flame just to intimidate the enemy?
"Did you observe the landing point?" The prince asked a witch wearing green-haired.
"After smashing into a small mountain bag, the closest is the red flag," the latter watched for a while, "but still a lot away."
The red flag? Agatha looked at Roland in doubt, what were they talking about?
Fortunately, His Highness the Prince quickly answered her doubts. "This weapon can understand the projectile as a crossbow. It can be used to hit enemies that are far away. In order to observe the range of the shell, I let Lightning Put a bunting below every one kilometer. The red flag is the last shot and it stands five kilometers away, "he explained. Distance. "
Agatha was stuck in place, did the other party mean that it had just thrown the crossbow that it was stuffed into ten miles away? Obviously there is no rope and power storage mechanism, how does it do this? You have to know that even the Siege Beast driven by magic power has a maximum projection distance of only three to four miles. If he did not lie, as long as a tall and thick city wall is built, and this weapon is used, it can effectively block the Devil attack.
But ... weapon with such an amazing range, it is not easy to launch it once.
"I don't see where the shells fall, I always feel a little bit less," said the prince, touching his chin. "The next test is to fire three rounds of fast flat shots to attack close range targets."
