Chapter 533: Grand Surya Desert (1/2)
The cannons were quickly adjusted and loaded with enchanted cannonballs before the blacksmiths awaited the Duke's command.
”Fire!” Duke Ignis immediately barked.
Once the order was heard loud and clear, the blacksmiths quickly fired the cannon with their fire abilities.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of deafening roars were heard from the cannon before the enchanted cannonballs shot into the distance.
Ssss—!
The enchanted cannonballs whistled through the air with incredible speed before losing momentum rapidly before dropping on the mutated rat tide.
BOOM!
The enchanted cannonballs immediately erupted into a massive fiery blaze of epic proportions upon impact!
Everyone on the Great Wall was greatly startled by the grand explosion before them as the flames soared rapidly, swallowing tens of thousands of mutated rats.
Boom! Boom!
Numerous micro explosions occurred in quick succession as the flames and lightning chain reacted within the mutated rats' bodies.
Some explosions took place exceedingly close to the fallen airship, causing Duke Ignis to bark, ”Watch where you're aiming!”
”I am deeply sorry, Your Grace!” the blacksmith apologized with guilt after being smacked on the head.
”Let my soldiers handle the cannons. Your blacksmiths are not familiar with these tools.” General Marquis Hendrick stated.
”Not familiar, you say?” Duke Ignis shook his head before he asked, ”And who do you think made these cannons?”
”That is not what I mean, Duke Ignis. Being good at making something does not mean one is also good at using said something.” General Marquis Hendrick explained.
”I see. My apologies. You can have your men correct the aim. However, the cannon still needs to be fired by my blacksmiths. Enchanted cannonballs won't activate properly otherwise and might even blow up the cannon on the spot.” Duke Ignis also explained the condition.
General Marquis Hendrick gasped at Duke Ignis's explanation as he drew in deep breaths to calm himself.
”Understood.” He nodded shortly.
Duke Ignis had outdone himself and created something incredible this time. The enchanted cannonball's destructiveness had exceeded everyone's expectations.
It could hardly be called a cannonball anymore and should be called an extremely powerful bomb instead!
As the people loaded the next round of enchanted cannonballs, Leon cleaved his way through the mutated rat tide and headed towards the fallen airship in the center.
Although he was not present when everything happened. It only took a few simple observations to piece everything together.
The airship was shot down by the mutated rats, and the people on board are mostly all dead.
Leon only hoped that there was no one important to him on board.
In a short while, Leon entered within a certain distance from the fallen airship before sending out his divine sense to sweep the wreckage.
His face turned grave at the sieved corpses before he discovered Princess Thessalia's condition.
Although she was not important to him, she was important to Faelyn and the elven tribe. Nothing can happen to her!
Boom!
Leon immediately increased his pace and shot over swiftly, cleaving away every mutated rat in his path with repeated sweeps of his flaming bone spear.
