Nail's heart suddenly tightened.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down, he prayed in his heart to hit, and at the same time stared at the giant evil beast without blinking, until his breath resumed, and the other party was still safe and sound, still running forward.
After a few breaths, a snow column was raised far away from the monster.
Worse.
Nail’s heart sank violently. Since the giant beast is not heading towards the sixth section of the city wall, there is an angle between the cannon and the cannon. The long-barreled cannon must constantly adjust the angle, and at the same time, it has to estimate the speed of the opponent’s movement and shoot in advance. Otherwise, as it is now, the cannonball is fired behind the target.
According to the field gun's rate of fire, they only have one last chance before the monsters smash through the city wall!
Nails can already see the thick fur on the enemy's body and the bloody mouth under the fangs. The witches are coming here, obviously intending to intercept the monster. But the four of them together are not as thick as the other's leg, can it be done by magic alone
He was so anxious that he even wanted to run to the sixth section of the city wall to remind the artillery team to aim forward, but the supervisors standing on both sides of each section of the city wall made him finally suppress this impulse. Make an immediate escape. Lord Iron Axe has repeatedly emphasized that this kind of behavior that may lead to the collapse of the defense line is absolutely prohibited. Once found, the supervising team can directly shoot and kill.
The Evil Beast running at the front had entered the shooting range of the revolver rifle, and a series of crackling sounds were heard from the city head.
Nail had to go on with his task, placing the rounds of compressed loader next to the shooter.
At this moment, the second earth-shattering roar sounded again, which was only three or four breaths away from the previous firing of the long-barreled gun.
So fast! ? Nail was surprised to look at the sixth section of the city wall. The smoke above the gun barrel had not dissipated, and there was still smoke coming out of the gun muzzle, like a lit silver pipe. But the more shocking thing is still behind. He didn't even have time to observe whether the shot hit the enemy, and the dazzling fire appeared again.
The third shelling!
Holy shit, don't they have to reload
He only saw four or five people busy behind the barrel, but no one had ever approached the muzzle. It seemed that this gun was completely different from those stubby field guns. It was like a revolving rifle and could fire continuously. !
And this time the attack paid off.
Nails did not see the projectile shot into the monster. The first thing that caught his eye was a cloud of blood bursting from the side of the giant evil beast. In addition to the scattered black blood, there were also torn fur and chunks of flesh and blood. . At the same time, the evil beast trembled violently, and the whole body seemed to be shriveled a little, and there were ripples on the sturdy fur like water, but he doubted it was an illusion, because the next moment, the sunken body recovered again. It was normal, but the monster's eyeballs were squeezed out from the depressions, and at the same time, black and white viscous objects were sprayed out.
There was not a single dying roar, and the giant beast fell to the ground straight and sideways, making a dull crashing sound. It was only then that Nail discovered that where the shell had hit, its body had opened a large hole near its neck, although it was insignificant compared to its burly body, and it was difficult to even connect this hole with the fatal blow just now. Plumes of blue smoke were emerging from the hole, and the surrounding fur was burnt to charred black.
The monster from hell just died like this
Nail couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and turned his previous worries into a roar and vented out.
"Long live Your Highness!"
Even such a terrifying and vicious enemy could not stop the powerful weapon invented by His Royal Highness! Apart from that new cannon, he couldn't even think of any other way to kill this burly hybrid evil beast. Even if a witch could do it, it wouldn't be so neat. Thinking about it further, in a sense, His Highness endowed them with a supreme power comparable to that of a witch!
This cry was responded by more people, like an introduction, and quickly ignited the emotions of others. At first, the recruits followed and shouted, and then the veterans couldn't help clenching their fists.
The city head then burst into high-pitched cheers.
"Long live His Royal Highness!"
*****************
Roland only got the news after the battle was over.
He put on a wool coat and rushed to the western section of the city wall. The huge corpse of the evil beast was still lying quietly in the snow, and the black blood melted the surrounding snow into a curve of black water.
It seems that no matter how terrifying the shape of these monsters, they are only carbon-based creatures. In the face of gunpowder and steel, they are still no different from tissue paper.
After the solid pointed bullet was shot into the target body, it rolled over due to instability, and transferred the kinetic energy it carried to the entire body of the target, and finally spun through the body as seen on the scene. When it was opened, the internal organs and broken bones were scattered on the ground, and even the hardest head was shattered in the energy shock, and the whole collapsed.
However, he was also a little worried in his heart. There is a limit to the strength of a creature's bones. This thing is obviously several times larger than an elephant. How does it support its body without being overwhelmed by its own weight? The size of terrestrial animals is much smaller than that of marine life, and gravity is an insurmountable threshold.
Could it be all about magic? I remembered that Nightingale mentioned that she could see the flow of magic power in some mixed-species evil beasts.
"This... how is this possible!" Agatha, who followed, widened her eyes, "Isn't this a hell beast?"
"What is that, the name of the hybrid demon beast?" Roland asked curiously, "It appeared in the Fertile Plain before?"
"Yes, when they appear in groups, they are extremely difficult enemies for witches and devils. Many towns have been trampled to the ground by hell-horror beasts," Agatha's voice sounded slightly Dry, "But they can only be seen when the red moon is approaching."
"The red moon... is coming?" Roland suddenly remembered the record in the ancient book. When a bloody red moon appeared in the sky, the gate of hell would open again. He frowned, "What do you mean?"
"The records handed down from the first Battle of Divine Will, that was the moment when the magic power was the most abundant. The appearance of witches will usher in a peak, but at the same time, the devil and evil beasts will also become extraordinarily powerful." Agatha was nervous. He said, "I have carefully read the history book you gave me. According to the age, there should be at least twenty to fifty years before the red moon. It is impossible for such a monster to appear."
"But it still appeared," Roland said solemnly. "What does that mean?"
"Means we're running out of time.".
