The battleship is the largest war beast ever created by humans, no matter which world it is in. Although it has been replaced by an aircraft carrier in another world, in this world, it has just begun to show its muscles.
With a deafening roar, the six gun barrels of the Broken Mountain fired shells one after another, drawing several bright arcs in the air and then landing on the hill in the city.
Huge clouds of dust and flames rose from the top of the mountain. The entire plateau was blasted, shattered, and thrown into the air amidst the continuous roars. As for the tree man and fish monster standing on it, they had already turned into charred fragments in the blast and the burning flames. These monsters with divine power that could destroy a city disappeared completely without realizing where the danger came from.
Aetherit put down the telescope. The positioning magic worked very well. Except for one shell that was slightly off target, all the other six shells hit the high ground. This was unimaginable in previous bombardments. The mage beside him also opened his mouth slightly. Their previous tests were all conducted on the sea. As a mage from the East Continent, he had never seen any weapon made by anyone that could achieve such an effect. Even the fire magic of the great magician was far less powerful than this bombardment. And this was just one round of bombardment from a battleship... If other battleships and cruisers opened fire at the same time, he could not imagine what the result would be. Would that be a power beyond that of a saint
Aeselite was not surprised by this scene. He was thinking: If we follow the Archon's suggestion and use magic to transform the cannon and shells, how powerful will it be? Will it be able to kill even the gods directly
On the Light of the Seven Towers, the delegation of the Southern City-States' Exiled Parliament headed by Glasco fell into a long silence. Some of them had earlier made fun of those inflexible and extremely bulky iron ships, but now the battleship guns had demonstrated their power, making them lose the ability to even speak.
Huang Zheng saw Glasco's lips moving, as if to say, "Why can humans master such power without using magic?"
Ma Anmin said: "It seems that as long as the equivalent is sufficient, any problem can be solved."
Huang Zheng said: "In this case, let's give these monsters a quick death. But after that, this city must be rebuilt."
Ma Anmin said: "Where is the city? What is there now is just a ruin."
Huang Zheng issued an attack order to all the warships in the fleet through the sound transmission array. Except for the factory area protected by Mao Kai, Shuangfan City and the surrounding large suburbs were included in the attack range.
The warships adjusted their positions. Twenty minutes later, the sound of the sky-shaking cannons rang out across the coast. This corner of the continent was covered in flames, dotted with countless monsters of all sizes being thrown into the air. These monsters, affected by the power of the divine city, had lost their instinct to survive. Facing such a terrible attack, they would not flee, but would only dodge in vain and roar in vain.
When the smoke on the ground cleared, the area around Shuangfan City had become a real dead zone. As long as a living thing was still composed of cells, it would not be able to survive such a blow.
One representative quietly asked Glasco: "The Chinese are so powerful, how can we resist them? If they want to occupy these places, what can we do?"
Glasco smiled helplessly and said, "Of course there is no way. When you see that they have such a steel fleet, you should know that they are not easy to deal with. But what else can we do? Are the sea people easy to deal with? We have been dealing with them for so many years and have experienced countless wars and feuds. Will they let us live peacefully on two islands? If it weren't for the face of the Tower of China this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to find a place to stay? At our current situation, there is nothing to be proud of. I'm afraid that the people of the Tower of China will show us mercy. I hope that the people of the Tower of China will show us mercy. This is probably the only thing I can do."
"But even if they are kind enough, it is impossible for them to return all the land to us. Many places in the southern city-states will be occupied by them."
"I just want a place to settle down. The southern city-states are city-states after all, and each of you is in charge of only one or two cities. Why should you care about so many things when you only have your own territory? There are many cities whose ruling families have not escaped at all. The Tower of China can take their places if it wants."
Huang Zheng actually heard their conversation clearly, but he did not express his opinion. To occupy the land or not is a matter for the committee to decide. In his opinion, apart from some strategic locations, China Tower has no desire to expand its territory in the short term.
He stepped forward and said to the representatives: "After clearing this area, we will land. I plan to use Twin Sails City as a forward base and attack the surrounding city-states from here. As you can see, we have the support of cannons and warships, so we will consider the battle method from the coast to the inland. As long as those monsters approach the area within 20 kilometers of the coastline, they will be hit by the precise attack of our warships. If they don't get close, then we can consolidate the places we occupy and then send troops to the inland to retake the city."
One representative asked: "If you capture our city, will you hand it over to us to manage?"
Huang Zheng said: "During the war, in order to ensure the stability of the front line and the allocation of materials, we will establish a military government in the captured city if necessary. But you can see that there are not many traces of the city left in a place like Shuangfan City. What's the point of you rushing to take back such a ruin? So for the newly captured city, maybe we will only set up a camp, or give up here temporarily. What do you think?"
Huang Zheng's tone was not fierce, and his attitude was calm. However, the representative who asked the question in front of him felt as if he was falling into an icy cave. The pressure made him lower his head, and he regretted asking the question.
"You are right. My companions are only anxious to ask these questions because they are reluctant to leave their homeland." Glasco said, "Of course we will follow your instructions and arrangements."
Huang Zheng said: "Okay. The landing will begin soon. Don't leave your people behind. Organize their teams and follow us ashore. I think they will still be useful."
