The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 133
After the boy got the cannon, the first thing he wanted to do was to find a target and shoot it.

But before that, Ickert first tested the mobility of the cannon.

Due to the lack of a lot of strange decorative parts and patterns, the total weight of a type of magic cannon is only [-] kilograms, and only three ratmen can push this cannon around.

But in order to operate the cannon better, four to five mice are still needed to serve the cannon.

Seeing the ratmen maneuvering easily with the cannon cart, Ickert felt that the painting style had changed.

In the end, the Ratmen still pushed the cannon cart to the scheduled shooting position.

This is a high slope behind the territory, and it is also a place that Ickert thinks is suitable for placing large-scale artillery positions.

Seeing that everything was in place, Ickert ordered to prepare to start shooting.

"Rapa, prepare for shooting!"

"Yes! Clan Chief!"

The Ratman Rapa responded loudly, and immediately after, the gun crew serving the Sasamaria gun began to load the magic crystal.

This cannon has two firing modes. One is that when powered by a single magic crystal, it can fire twice in a row; when powered by triple magic crystals, it can fire eight times in a row.

Generally, in order to effectively use the internal energy of the magic crystal, the main power supply is the triple magic crystal.

After waiting for the magic circle to be fully charged, the Ratmen began to stuff shells into it.

The push rod of the Artillery Rat is directly a mop wrapped with some cloth, and it is with this thing that the Loader Rat loads a large piece of steel bullet into the barrel of the gun.

Finally, the firing hand releases the safety pin of the heavy hammer, pulls the rope and waits for the launch command.

At this time, Lapa also tried to adjust the wedge himself, and used the wedge to control the pitch of the barrel. This process requires a lot of force, or you can have a hammer.

After completing all preparations, the artillery entered the ready state.

"Clan Chief! Shooting preparations are complete!"

"Fire!"

"Follow the clan chief, the artillery team fires!"

As the firing hand pulled down the heavy hammer forcefully, the Sasamaria cannon roared into the distance.

boom!
The sound of the guns shook the valley, and the firing of the cannons attracted the attention of all the leaders.

The third brigade is now strengthening the defenses of the territory, and the rat people are using the soil dug from the trench to build a defensive earth wall.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a sound like thunder and lightning came from afar, but the rat people looked up, but there was no rain or dark clouds in the sky.

The sun was shining and the sky was clear.

The only thing is that a small black dot seems to fly from the sky at high speed.

"Hey! Did you see clearly just now? It seems that something flew over!"

"Yes, I seem to have seen it, but the thing was flying too fast, so I didn't see it clearly."

"I saw it! It looks like a round thing!"

The firing of the cannon aroused heated discussions among the Ratmen. Originally, cannons were mainly used by humans and dwarves, and vampires would also use terrifying cannons.

Ratmen mainly use mortars in terms of physical shells.

Therefore, after the cannon was fired, the rats hadn't figured out its composition for a while.

But there was one thing that the Ratmen could see very clearly.

The object flying at high speed in the sky directly passed through the field and smashed into the forest in front of the territory.

It was still coming from behind them.
Some rats couldn't help thinking that they could actually hit them if the other party wanted to.

To be honest, Ickert is not surprised that the Sassamaria cannon has such an impressive range.

Because this artillery compared with the artillery under the general technology, while increasing the charge, it also uses lighter shells.

Because the territory did not dig out heavier lead, the shells have always been made of steel. Compared with heavier lead, the energy storage of steel shells is not so good.

While the maximum range is far superior to the heavier buckshot, the effective range is inferior to the buckshot.

Of course, it also depends on the target. If it is a heavy armored target like the Warrior of God, lead bullets are definitely more destructive than steel bullets within the same distance.

But for lightly armored targets, the range advantage of the Gundam's high-speed and light flick can be effectively brought into play.

In addition to solid bullets, Eckert also plans to experiment with shotgun shells.

He ordered Rapa and the artillery squad under his command to replace with new ammunition.

"Artillery team, reload the second shot!"

Still different from traditional artillery, firing steel bullets and magic cannons without physical propellants basically do not need to clean the barrel, and Ickert did not equip them with mops and worms.

This time for reloading, the Ratman directly stuffed dozens of bullets into the gun barrel, and then pointed the barrel at the forest.

"fire!"

Seeing that the time was right, Rapa gave the order to fire again.

The killing effect of shotguns on large-scale targets is significantly better, and the tower trees and shrubs in front of the cannons are already riddled with holes.

There are also some passing small animals, attracted by the bombardment of the cannons, and there are even monsters among these unlucky little guys!
With tears in his eyes, Ickert dug out another magic crystal of a cave monitor lizard, but it was a pity that he did not become a part of the agricultural machinery in the territory and enjoyed good employee treatment.

Instead, it was blasted into a shower by the cannon.

After shooting solid bullets and shotgun shells, according to the usual practice, the next step should be the warpstone shells.

The insufficient damage of small-caliber warpstone weapons has always been a problem that has plagued Ickert.

However, simple dimensional stone shells seem too wasteful.

The Dimension Stone in Ickert's hand is not too much. If this thing is forced to fight a battle, the Dimension Stone in his hand will be exhausted in an instant.

Therefore, Ickert adopted a more tricky approach. He asked the craftsmen in the territory to cast some "hoods" and "bomb holders", and then buried the thick warpstone bullet cores in them.

A thing that can barely be called a "hood armor-piercing bullet" was born like this.

This thing was also named "one-year dimension stone core hood armor-piercing bullet", and became the mainstay of the territory's armor-piercing power.

As far as the length of the armor-piercing body is concerned, Ikert estimates that this thing can guarantee a penetration depth of 500mm at a distance of 50 meters.

And the damage effect in today's weapons can definitely be called insane.

Today is the replacement of the early No. [-] tank, maybe it can be pierced by him.

Unless the Gnoll can make something more sickly, with the firepower of the Sasamaria cannon, as long as it can hit, it can already walk sideways on the battlefield.

It is that the production of warp stone shells is time-consuming and laborious, and there is a lack of raw materials, so Ikert can only use them very carefully.

There is another new weapon coming out on Windsor's side, which is undoubtedly another bad news for the jackals who plan to attack.

Different from the previous small fights, this test firing of the cannon can be said to have alarmed all the surrounding tribes.

The sky-shaking sound was louder and duller than when shooting at the Iron Fist Tribe with a gun.

Under such tremendous pressure, the jackals could only bite the bullet and point to formulating a battle plan.

Fortunately, their great Samir shaman has always been calm and confident.

Fortunately, they have all seen the creation called God's Warrior, and the jackals can only believe that the great God's Warrior will guide the tribe to victory.
