Chapter 716 (1/2)

”Countdown starts, last debugging, ready for projection!”

Cried the determined little wizard.

In the camp beside the river bank, hundreds of engineers are busy around one projection weapon after another; Alchemists from the red blood Castle wizard association are assisting them in completing the final inspection.

In the crowded positions, almost every catapult and crossbow were surrounded by at least one hundred soldiers - not counting the number of square infantry responsible for protecting them.

Master Halin van achmai, standing on the side of the black haired wizard, cast curious eyes and watched the engineers and auxiliary soldiers operate these ”large toys” in an orderly manner.

Twenty people in the first team are responsible for stabilizing the support and repairing the gap, and pulling the projection equipment to the designated position with pack horses and livestock;

Thirty five people in the second team operate the projection device, rotate the chassis and elevation turntable, align the projection target with the designated target, and calculate the error range;

Twenty five members of the third team served as ammunition men, loaded heavy crossbows, stone guns and fire oil tanks at the fastest speed as required, and replaced on site as needed;

This is just the most common siege crossbow, and the number of people operated by the catapult on one side will even double... But master asamai's attention is not on these engineers, but on the weapon itself.

”Torsion device, dial, elevation dial, projection ruler... All are masterpieces of furnace academy and top equipment only seen in the imperial Legion.” a flash of amazement flashed from the corner of his eye, and master asamai looked at the little wizard in disbelief:

”Lord ayin Rand, have you been to duanjie mountain fortress?”

”Alas?”

AI Yin, who was suddenly asked, was stunned and smiled awkwardly: ”well... Once, I helped the alchemist there.”

Master asamai silently nodded and smiled. Just looking at Ayn's expression, he knew that it was definitely not ”some little busy” - otherwise, how could sakran wizards, who have always been xenophobic, easily take out such important military equipment?

”Master asamai, do you know these projection weapons well?”

The black haired wizard asked without looking back. He looked at the battlefield under the thousand tent city in the distance with dignified eyes.

”How many alchemists are not interested in these? Duke.” Halin van achmai asked, ”it is these technologies that enable wizards to have a place in the former cabinet of the heavenly palace.”

”What's more, what these seemingly 'bulky' weapons mark is our future.”

”The future?” the black haired wizard raised his eyebrows.

”Yes, as long as our alchemists continue to study, these projection weapons will become more sophisticated, cheaper and convenient.”

Halin van achmai's expression was very serious, and his deep eyes glanced at the Byrne Knights fighting with the Centaurs on the Bank of the river:

”One day, we can let the soldiers hold these weapons in their hands, stand 300 steps away and instantly launch dozens of hundreds of crossbows and arrows that can pierce the armor.”

”I can foresee that this weapon will eventually turn swords into dispensable things, exquisite armor into ornaments, and all wars into a cruel competition to compare each other and see who kills each other faster from 300 steps away.”

”Knead the glory into waste paper, make the war rigid and rigid, and turn the courage of all soldiers into jokes 300 steps away - calm killing will replace bloody hand to hand combat.”

Harlem van achamay, who was in a low voice, was suddenly stunned, shook his head and hissed: ”of course, at present, this is just my imagination.”

”You, who command the strongest heavy cavalry in the world and inherit the great cause of the black Duke, probably won't believe these nonsense.”

Lauren frowned slightly, hesitated and didn't answer him.

On the contrary... I have no doubt about it.

If it were not limited to the upper limit of baggage, Loren would have planned to increase the number of weapons projected in the army... But unfortunately, not to mention qualified engineers, even qualified crossbow men can gather enough of a square array.

The development of metallurgical technology makes the projection weapons in Bain a short board, because ordinary crossbows and arrows can't shoot through the Bain's armor at 50 steps... If the bain rush to 50 steps, the enemy's Crossbow men have only two choices, either escape or surrender.

With a disturbing vibration and the noise of the machine including gears, the engineers have completed the commissioning of all the catapults and catapults.

Looking back, Loren raised his mouth and pretended to look at the little wizard with ease: ”how, do you have confidence?”
