"I know you're all worried, the Templars are gone, will the Frontier Town survive this winter?
It is certain that the walls have been repaired and have a certain defensive capability, but this is not enough. ”After a pause, Owen asked aloud, "Don't you think it's strange?"
Why did I choose to speak in this place today?
”As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience looked at each other, which was indeed strange.Normally, you would choose to speak in the town square, and this is also true for the first appearance of the lord.Looking around at the crowded crowd, some people speculated whether it was because they felt that the square was too small, so they chose to give a speech in a wide area.After a while, Owen replied, "That's because I'm going to show you a powerful weapon that can easily destroy a large number of undead monsters.The power of the Templars is well known to all.And the weapons I'm going to show are no less powerful than them, and they can be used by anyone!
”After listening to the lord's words, the crowd in the audience did not burst into any cheers.The Templars are an incomparably powerful existence in everyone's eyes, and there are even powerful weapons equivalent to those of the Templars, and ordinary people can use them?!
This is something they could not have imagined, so they are very skeptical.Needless to say, let's see the power of black powder with your own eyes.Owen clapped his hands, and Marpel in the audience walked up to the high platform with the explosives bag he had made yesterday in both hands.The people present focused their eyes on what was in the hands of Marpel, carefully observing the so-called powerful weapons in the mouth of the lord.The appearance is unpretentious, it seems to be something wrapped in cowhide, and it is wrapped around the outside with a rope several times, and it is very tightly tied.That's it?
This is the general reaction of everyone, and it is completely impossible to see where the strong place is.Walking up to Mapel, Owen put his hand on the explosives bag and explained it to the group."
This weapon is called an explosive pack, and there is a fuse underneath it, and after it is ignited, it will be completely detonated in about ten breaths, causing great damage to the surrounding area."
Taking his hand down, he continued, "It's because the explosives pack is so powerful that I'm going to use a trebuchet to throw it in the direction of the Sky Dome Mountains.Everybody's looking over there!
”Owen raised his left hand to indicate the direction of the side of the high platform, and everyone looked at it with the gesture.At some point, a large object covered in canvas appeared on the left side of the platform.Almost as soon as the lord finished speaking, one of the knights next to him pulled down the canvas with force, revealing the large instrument inside, the trebuchet.Good fellow, even this thing has been carried here.You must know that there are only four trebuchets in the entire border town, all of which are placed on the northern wall for defense, and ordinary people have no chance to see them.Motioning with his eyes for Marpel to follow, Owen stepped down the platform and came to the trebuchet.Before making the throw, Owen first issued a warning to those present."
Before I show it, I would like to inform you that if the explosive bag is thrown, please cover your ears immediately, especially if you have children.The explosives pack makes a loud noise when it explodes, and if you're scared to tears, don't blame me for not alerting you. ”Many parents who came over with their children for lunch nodded, and the lord said so, so it was better to be careful.So, let's start showing.Owen turned and nodded to one of the knights next to the trebuchet, who instructed the other rider to come over, and the two of them turned the winch together to pull the trebuchet's arm down.After pulling it down, another knight uses a live hook to hold the arm bar in place and unhooks the hook rope that pulls down the arm bar.Once ready, Marpel walked over with the explosives pack, placed it on top of the grenade belt, and lit the fuse.Seeing white smoke coming out of the lead, she quickly gave an order to the knight on the side."
Throw!"
The knight nodded, then faced in the direction of the Sky Dome Mountain Range, and shouted, "Ready—release!"
”The knight in charge of fixing the arm had already drawn his sword and was ready, and as soon as he received the order, he immediately swung down the rope that cut off the live hook.Driven by the counterweight, the arm pole was quickly raised, and a huge arc was drawn to throw the explosive bag in the direction of the Sky Dome Mountains.When the counterweight was completely dropped, the explosive bag flew out of the grenade belt at an angle of about 45 degrees.Seeing this, Owen hurriedly covered his ears with both hands.From the moment he lit the fuse, he had been mentally counting down.Seven breaths.Even the lord was so cautious that many people hurriedly covered their ears in his way.Especially for people with children, they have covered their children's little ears tightly, and sensible children will stretch out their little hands to help their parents cover their ears.Even though Owen has clearly warned him, some people are still indifferent.They felt that the lord was just alarmist, thinking about what to think of the lord's jokes when the time came.Three breaths.It could already be seen from a distance, the thrown explosives bag falling onto the mountainside.One breath.There are a few people who can't bear it after all, and always feel that a long time has passed, and there is no movement, and they continue to cover their ears like fools.It's not going to fail, is it?
Or maybe the lord is talking big, the gang thought.At this moment, an earth-shattering bang suddenly resounded throughout the sky, and even the earth was shaken.Due to the range of the trebuchet, the explosion point is not too far from the high platform.Explosions and shockwaves arrived one after another, and those who were unprepared only felt a buzz, and the world suddenly fell silent.The flames on the mountainside flashed, and a large amount of gravel and earth was blown into the sky.The tremor of the earth was fleeting, and a large amount of black smoke slowly rose, followed by falling stones and mud slag like rain.When it first exploded, Owen could even hear the squeaking of the high platform behind him.The makeshift platform is really not strong, don't collapse, he prayed silently in his heart.Fortunately, Gao Tai survived and did not fall.Whew, wow, ahhWhere have they ever seen such a scene, it's so terrifying!
Everyone present was already stunned, they didn't expect this weapon to be so powerful.No wonder Lord Lord is so confident, it is more than enough to use it to deal with undead monsters."
This is like a god's thunder!"
I don't know who first sighed and said this, and more and more people echoed it."
Heavenly thunder!
Our lord has mastered the power of the gods!
”"Great!
We're saved!
”"Your Lord is our Savior!"
【Wow!
You've really worked hard to ask for help. 】Winster said suddenly.It turned out that it was invited to add fuel to the fire, and Owen felt a little embarrassed.The power of black powder is indeed amazing, but it is too exaggerated to praise him as a god or a savior.Well, forget it, let's accept the worship of the people.
