Chapter 334: Heart Stopper
After scaling up a corner of the city wall, Andrea was i scene
All she saas a row of soldiers, dressed up as e, stick-like weapon in their hands—those are probably the firearroup of demonic beasts, fla the sound of continuous explosions to echo in her ears
That ought to be a type of weapon similar to the crossbow, but she couldn't see the bolts that were shot out by the other side, probably due to the large cloud of s at the very front of the pack acted as if they had been ruthlessly san to fall onto the ground in quick succession
Even so, the soldiers didn't observe the aftermath of the battle, nor did they load up a new bolt Instead they continued to fire at the ene an arrow to the bowstring
”Is this the frightening weapon you spoke of?” Andrea felt her lips slightly drying out, turning somewhat coarse ”Its rate of fire is definitely fast, but the accuracy is somewhat…”
”Before these people were recruited into the First Army, they were all miners, farmers and hunters” Ashes interrupted her speech ”The ti this weapon is just shy of six months”
One norroom a well trained warrior, and even more time was needed to train an archer Even crossbohich required the least a, still required one to train for at least half a year Even with training, it would only prevent situations like far a bolt upside down in panic As for actual co anything Into increase one's prestige
Andrea couldn't help but s her saliva She was extremely familiar with these kinds of practices, as her clan had nurtured their fair share of outstanding knights Because of that, she naturally understood the significance of soldiers being co With an ample supply of weapons and rations, Roland could potentially assemble a massive army within a short time period Further routed at the first contact during close quarter coroup of cavalryht of attacks with no intermission
This had nothing to do with the courage or willpower of the th bestowed to them by their weapons
”Do you know so else about the firear it for a moment
The latter nodded her head ”I've examined it inside and out countless times It's definitely similar to a crossbow, but the arrowhead that is shot out is tiny and has neither a shaft nor tail feathers The difference lies in the arrowhead not relying on the elasticity of a bowstring, but rather the propelling force of a black, fine pohen it explodes—It can raise the velocity of the arrowhead to extreme speeds instantaneously”
”A black, fine powder?” Tilly asked ”What is that?”
”It's probably a byproduct of alchemy” She shook her head ”I am not clear about its specific composition either”
”It s that alche cheap”
Ashes curled her lips ”Really…Fro it, it totally doesn't look like they're using anything costly”
”Hold on, so” Sylvie, as in the process of sizing up the battlefield, was slightly shocked ”My goodness, that's also a demonic beast? It's almost as tall as the city wall! Froe carapace behind its back”
Andrea iuns won't helpas I am within 10 feet of it, even the city walls would not be able to withstand ic arrows Ashes, cover me”
”Sigh, alright” Ashes helplessly removed the claymore behind her back ”For the record, you'd better not tarnish the good name of Lady Tilly”
