Chapter 324 All living beings are equal before gunpowder

Chapter 324 All living beings are equal before gunpowder

The setting sun gradually set, covering the night from a distance, as if someone reached out and closed the curtain, and it became dark.

Torches were lit on the city wall, few people spoke, and many people looked at the front of the city in silence, silently preparing for the next battle.

Perhaps it was the strong enemy that made the air a little dull.

Time passed by minute by minute.

at the same time.

The army led by Lu Qi advanced slowly, the torches illuminated the mountainous area, and the outline of Groft gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Noxus built the city walls higher than the average city, thanks to the defensive engineering they were proud of.

Even though Noxus advocated invasion, they did a very good job in building fortifications. Even the houses in the city were built like a fortress.

But no matter how strong it is, all living beings are equal in front of gunpowder.

Lu Qi was playing with the new supplies that had been delivered around dusk, a carefully crafted telescope that was even luxuriously inlaid with a gold-rimmed pattern.

After seeing Groft's silhouette, he raised the telescope and looked through it.

This telescope was built by Wenhua De himself. It can see things up to two thousand meters away, which is very good for the current level of technology.

After adjusting the magnification of the telescope, the picture visible inside gradually became clearer.

The screen changed, and the city wall was heavily guarded. Hey, he also saw a fort, which was the kind of dark, heavy fort that pirate ships would carry in his memory.

In addition, there are some forts that look larger in size.

It seems that this is part of Noxus' preparations.

On the side, Lux saw him holding a telescope, looking left and right. She felt extremely curious and couldn't help but reached out and poked his waist: "Let me have a look too."

All that should be observed were observed, and Lu Qi handed her the telescope.

After Lux picked it up, she followed Lu Qi's example and looked towards the opposite side. Then she said "Huh" and said, "I think I saw a Yodel."

People in Runeterra generally think of yordles. First of all, they are tall, and secondly, they look furry and a little bit cute.

However, no matter how Lux looked at the one opposite, she felt that it had nothing to do with cuteness.

Lu Qi was a little concerned after hearing this. He took the telescope back from Lux's hand again and looked in the direction she pointed.

really

After thinking for a while, he said: "Bobby, do you know the guy opposite?"

"ah?"

Poppy took the telescope, observed it carefully twice, and shook his head: "I don't know. There are many villages in the Yodel tribe. He may have come from another village."

"That's okay."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "You will take care of him later."

"Leave it to me!" Poppy agreed readily, then raised his head and said proudly like a little golden retriever: "I was also a famous fighting expert in the Yodel village back then! No Yodle is like me. opponent."

She sounded a little proud.

When Lu Qi heard this, he first glanced at Lux who looked innocent.

Bobby's humble and simple character has now been ruined by this guy.

At this point in the conversation, the army was getting closer and closer to Groft, and the mighty army obviously attracted the attention of the city wall immediately.

With the naked eye, the torches on the opposite city wall could be seen shaking, and there was an anxious feeling of being ready to go.

Lu Qi could not estimate the range of the opponent's artillery. To be on the safe side, he raised his hand to signal the army behind him to stop slowly.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is about a thousand meters. Although it is still a bit far away, the surrounding mountains have emerged and the terrain is relatively flat, so both sides can clearly see each other.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Lu Qi sneered. It seemed like those artillery pieces couldn't shoot that far.

In this case, don't blame him for giving the gift he just prepared today.

"Bring up our new gifts."

He raised his hand and ordered that the supplies urgently sent from the royal capital had been received, just in time for testing.

After a while, a total of fifteen silver-white forts were carried to the front of the military formation.

The most obvious change in these turrets is their appearance, which is more silvery. They are carved with flower-like patterns and connected to the ends, making them look exquisite and beautiful.

This is the magic artillery jointly developed by Frey and Winward.

Not powered by ignition, but by magic.

These lines are a kind of special engravings, which are responsible for guiding magic power. Injecting magic power can activate the magic circle in the fort, thereby using a kind of flame magic to urge the artillery to fire. Not only will the distance be farther, but it will also have magical power. able.

At this time, two mages stood behind each turret, holding staffs, ready to inject magic power at any time after taking aim.

"fire!"

Lu Qi gave the order directly without hesitation.

Immediately, the mages took action, raising their staffs and injecting magic into the fort.

The magic power merged into the fort, flowing slowly like water along the lines, and then the light became brighter, and a magic circle suddenly appeared at the muzzle of the cannon.

"boom!!"

A loud noise suddenly came out, and the whole fort trembled a little. A circle of smoke and dust came out from the mouth of the cannon, and a cannon was seen flying out at a speed that was blurry to the naked eye.

"boom!!"

In the next second, a violent fire exploded on Grovet's city wall, like exploding fireworks, which looked extremely bright at night.

The sound of the explosion even came clearly from a distance, and it also brought a wave of wind and waves.

Fifteen rounds of artillery exploded neatly on the city wall. The power not only surprised Lucci, but also stunned the Noxians on the wall.

"I suck.!"

"what's the situation?"

"Can it be shot from such a distance?"

"Damn it!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Ah, help me, my leg was blown off!"

There was a chaos on the city wall, and the soldiers were helpless and screamed in panic.

The solid city wall made of black stone was only blasted once, and pits appeared one after another. The power was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Is this an artillery piece?"

Kabu stood out of reach of the artillery, and his mood fluctuated with the explosion just now.

From such a distance, he could only see a bunch of small people in Demacia, but the opponent's artillery could already hit his face!

When he was stunned, another loud "boom, boom, boom" sound came in his ears, and along with a wave of heat blowing to his face, Kabu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Damn it."

He gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers on the city wall who were bombed in chaos.

"Where's our artillery company? Is there a job?!"

He immediately shouted angrily: "Where's the artillery company commander!"

The artillery company commander hurried over: "Sir, I'm here."

"Shoot them for me!"

Kabu pointed at the Demacia army in the distance: "Shoot hard!"

The artillery company commander said with some embarrassment: "Sir, the maximum range of the heavy artillery we developed is only one thousand meters, and the effective range is only eight hundred meters. But the enemy's distance is at least one thousand meters. Ordinary artillery is even worse. Needless to say"

"That's not what I want to hear, shoot them!!"

Kabu watched helplessly as the enemy's third round of artillery exploded, deafening, as if in a demonstration, and he roared angrily.

"yes!"

The artillery company commander could only take the order and began to direct his running company to start a counterattack.

Kabu looked at Omov and said, "Please."

Omov also nodded with a serious expression, raised the staff in his hand, and gave the surrounding mages a look.

I saw them working together to cast spells, and suddenly a huge magic barrier enveloped the city wall.

As the fourth round of artillery bombarded, it could only land on the barrier. The barrier vibrated like ripples on the water, and then it was safe and sound.

This also gave the artillery company commander an opportunity to rearrange the disrupted artillery pieces.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the artillery was fired one after another, everyone was staring closely at the fired shells.

The cannonball was shot out at an extremely fast speed, drawing a high arc in mid-air, but as the distance extended, it became lower and lower.

Finally, a few hundred meters in front of the Demacia army, there was a loud explosion.

The scene was awkward for a moment.

The same thing happened again with a second round of Noxian artillery fire.

The embarrassment began to prolong.

Kabu: "."

He clenched his fists unconsciously. This damn artillery really couldn't shoot.

Not to mention that he couldn't shoot, at least it was still a few hundred meters away from his real location!

The most embarrassing thing at this moment is that everyone in Demacia is probably laughing so hard.

"stop!"

He ordered coldly.

The artillery company commander gave him a look of helplessness: "Look, I didn't lie to you."

Kabu looked gloomy and ordered in a cold voice: "Since you can't shoot from such a distance, then get closer and shoot. Take your troop company, get close to the enemy, and then shoot hard!"

The artillery company commander was stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak.

Wouldn't doing this mean to let them die?

"This is an order. For the sake of Greater Noxus, you should carry it out unswervingly."

Kabu's expression and tone were very indifferent: "Right now, only your artillery company can resist Demacia's artillery, so you should do your best."

The artillery company commander knew that disobeying the order would lead to a difficult outcome, so he could only bite the bullet and accept the order: "Yes!"

So, the action started quickly.

From Grovet's small door, the artillery company rode in chariots and quickly moved towards the battlefield, beginning to approach Demacia little by little.

Seeing this, Lu Qi narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Shoot them with ordinary artillery, concentrate the firepower directly, and don't give them any opportunity."

"yes!!"

Amidst the responses, the prepared turrets immediately started firing.

The next moment, a hail of artillery shells shot towards the advancing artillery battery. Like a performance, flames exploded everywhere.

At this time, under Omov's orders, the mages began to recite incantations. The magical energy penetrated the night and enveloped the sky above the artillery company, helping them block the shells fired.

However, it was to no avail.

At this moment, the night was dyed fiery red. Although the barrier could withstand one artillery or ten artillery pieces, what about a hundred?

Compared to the magic forts, the number of ordinary forts is a full five hundred.

Even if they are not all used at this moment, the firepower coverage that can be formed is very terrifying.

Those barriers were annihilated in an instant, and the artillery company had no chance to get close. Everything that advanced, whether it was a tank or a person, was blown to pieces.

On the city wall, the Noxian soldiers who saw this scene fell silent, and some soldiers even had a look of fear in their eyes.

This is the most direct feeling that comes from deep within.

They watched the artillerymen being devoured.

This was a terrifying firepower coverage, and for the first time, they clearly realized how powerful Demacia was.

What if these firepower were aimed at the city wall?

The mages were hiding in safe places, out of range.

But at this time, Lucci had figured out the range of the Noxian artillery.

"Their artillery range should only be about one thousand meters, while our longest range can reach one thousand two hundred meters."

After roughly calculating, Lu Qi directly gave the order: "Advance three hundred meters! Attack the city! Sound the horn!"

"Woo"

As the order was conveyed, the buzzing of the horn also resounded through the night sky at this moment, which seemed to mean that Demacia was about to officially launch an attack.

There was already a mess on the walls of Grovet, and everyone knew what they were going to face next.

Kabu clenched his fists tightly, with veins on his forehead exposed, and stared at the opposite side with a pair of ruthless eyes.

He had never fought such a battle before. The two sides were not fighting for weapons, but for this damn artillery.

The party with strong artillery power almost controls the battle!

Damn it! !

If it is a cold weapon battle, Kabu, who is good at defense, has 10,000 ways to stop Demacia's attack.

However, now Demacia doesn't even let him touch it, and he is about to attack the city from such a distance.

When did the war become like this?

Kabu's eyes were constantly trembling, and the strong confidence he still had in the afternoon was shattered into pieces in less than twenty minutes when he debuted in Demacia.

Demir appeared next to Kabu at this moment, watching the silent man speak slowly.

"Demacia should know that their range is longer. If it's that level of firepower, how long do you think we can defend the city?"

"Is this what you've been through?"

At this moment, Kabu finally understood why Demir, who was more famous and powerful than him, was so nervous in front of Demacia.

Damn it, this kind of artillery fires like no money, who can not be nervous?

Just after so many rounds of explosions, he felt like his ears were going deaf!

"Can we hold it?"

Kabu looked at Omov, a high-level mage from the Mage Academy.

At this moment, Omov's face also lost the arrogance he had in the afternoon. After seeing the firepower of Demacia's artillery with his own eyes, his sense of superiority from the magic academy disappeared.

As an excellent mage, the magic he releases can be as powerful as a cannonball.

But he couldn't do it, releasing hundreds of the same magic at the same time.

Just like now, hundreds of cannonballs exploded at the same time.

He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We cannot always provide a barrier. This consumes magic power, and magic power is not unlimited."

Although the barriers can temporarily resist the artillery offensive, they consume the magic power in the body, while Demacia only consumes some resources.

More importantly, they don't know how many such shells there are in Demacia.

At this time, Kabu finally remembered Demir's proposal in the afternoon.

Faced with such an enemy, how should we defend the city?

Sooner or later, the city gate will be blown open. As long as they dare to defend it, what awaits them will be Demacia's unreasonable artillery bombardment.

Even if they hide in the city and wait for Demacia to come in and start a war, it will be of no avail.

In this way, it is even more of an act of committing suicide.

Demacia can completely lay siege to the city, and then use artillery to bombard the city in turn.

When the time comes, they will become real lambs to be slaughtered.

Compared with these ways of death, it seems that only Demir's proposal is feasible at this moment.

He looked around and saw that many soldiers were already showing signs of cowering. It was not their fault.

Even Kabu, looking at Demacia across from him at this moment, felt a little trembling in his heart.

This is the enemy they face.

"I can not stand it any more!"

At this time, a sharp angry cry sounded.

It's Kled.

He turned over and sat on Skaar's back, raised his long-handled weapon like a battle axe, and held a gun he found from nowhere in one hand. There was a turbulent momentum burning in his whole body: "They are making people angry." I'm dead! Everyone charge with me! Crush all these people! I'm going to kill them!"

He was very annoyed by the bombing, and this situation of being tied up made him even more annoyed.

When had he ever fought such a cowardly fight?

Kled would rather risk his life and charge than suffer this kind of indignity here!

He headed towards the city wall with great momentum. Many Noxian soldiers looked at each other, gave up the timidity in their eyes, made a decision, and followed him.

Kled is indeed qualified to command the soldiers in the field.

At this moment, Kabu and Demir also put on their helmets and picked up their weapons, determined to fight Demacia head-on!

Under the city.

With a "bang", the huge city gate slowly opened.

Lu Qi led the army, and when he saw this scene, he narrowed his eyes and looked over.

Behind Grovet's huge city gate, a group of black-armored cavalry appeared, and there must be more soldiers behind them. The dark area was like a huge ant nest.

But standing in front of everyone, the most conspicuous person was a ferocious Yodel.

His body seemed to be burning with flames, and the red aura was surging and surging.

And this aura is constantly being transmitted to every Noxian soldier behind him.

"Come with me! Kill them!!"

Kled let out a loud roar, and Skaar underneath him immediately jumped out, running extremely fast.

"kill!!!"

Behind him, the crowd of Noxian soldiers roared deafeningly, as if they had drunk chicken blood. They followed Kled and charged fiercely.

The speed turned out to be very fast, as if the whole thing was buffed, and the ground was shaking constantly.

"fire!"

Lu Qi showed no mercy and ordered coldly.

He knew the enemy's thoughts clearly, but even so, he had to make them pay a heavy price in the charge.

"Aim for the dwarf at the front!"

Lucci also knew where the buffs on these Noxian soldiers came from, and pointed at Kled and gave the order directly.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

In an instant, cannonballs were fired all over the sky, some of which were aimed at Kled.

Kled looked up and could see the flying shells. He had seen the power of these small black balls and knew that he could not harden them.

However, relying on his strong intuition, he dodged left and right while riding Skar, and managed to survive the violent explosions and flames.

Realizing that Skaar had slowed down and kept swallowing, he patted the old man and laughed wildly: "Don't be afraid, Skaar, I'm here! Kill them all with me! Trust me , haven’t we always had good luck!!”

He knew that his timid friend couldn't bear this kind of fright, but he couldn't leave Skaar now.

Skaar also knew this, and even though his courage was almost shattered, he still carried Kled forward and rushed forward desperately.

Countless Noxian soldiers were killed behind him, and soldiers were being devoured by fire at any moment.

As he walked through the explosion, Kled became more and more brave, like a god assisting him, making people doubt that he really had good luck. No matter how hard the shells exploded, they couldn't hit him.

And the braver he became, so did the Noxian soldiers behind him.

Everyone's state was at its peak, following Kled, charging forward bravely, without fear of death.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Lu Qi looked at Kled over there thoughtfully, feeling that this little man was really difficult to deal with.

Every yordle is a child blessed by God, and is born with great luck. To be able to break out from this level of firepower coverage, he feels that this is not as simple as luck.

The trouble is, Kled alone can affect the status of all Noxians.

The better he is, the better the soldiers who follow him charge.

It's even better than the buff provided by the horn that Lu Qi signed in.

Lucci took out his bow and arrow, put it on the string, and aimed at Kled, who was charging fiercely.

Without the slightest hesitation, he loosened the bow string, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out instantly at a speed that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.

His current level of divine tracking arrow has reached LV8, which is extremely accurate and not weak in power.

However, the moment the arrow was shot, Kled seemed to notice it and suddenly swung down the battle ax in his hand.

An arrow was split into two pieces during his charge and flew past both sides of his body.

"It's still 10,000 years too early to shoot Lord Kled with a soft arrow!"

Kled let out an excited roar.

Lu Qi missed with one arrow, so he aimed at Skaar under Kled and shot another arrow.

Likewise, Kled noticed it early and chopped it off with his axe.

"Whether it's me or Skaar, don't even think about hurting me at all!"

He shouted at the top of his voice again, completely unstoppable.

Seeing his brave appearance, the army behind him became even more powerful!

It seems that a war is inevitable after all!
