novelxo Chapter 1900 Shooting Range
"Imperial Uncle, the enemy is not within the effective range of the magicite cannon, and the magicite cannon's impact is not..."
"Shut up!" The imperial uncle turned his head, fixing an angry gaze on the speaking guard. His eyes flickered with wrath as he forcefully interrupted, "Outside are loyal soldiers of my country. How can I watch them die in vain? Boom! Hurry up and launch!"
"Yes, sir!"
The guard dared not talk back and hurriedly descended to relay the command.
Not far outside the city, Fang Heng shook his head in his heart as he watched Anthea leave her companions behind and retreat into the city fortress with the heavy armored knights.
What a missed opportunity.
Killing a single knight could earn him a 0.02% completion rate for the commission mission and an additional 2 minutes.
It was a lucrative endeavor.
He had initially planned to feign another attack to deceive the heavy-armored knights into launching another assault.
However, the opponent proved to be clever and didn't fall for the ruse.
Forget it...
Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to swiftly deal with the nearly 100 heavily armored knights surrounded by the undead. He then glanced at the rapidly updating game notifications.
[Hint: The player has successfully killed the elite heavy-armored knight of Jones Kingdom. Player's current mission: Snipe the fornline Holy Court Army. The mission completion rate increased to 0.02%. Current mission estimated time remaining +2 minutes...]
[Hint: Due to your performance on the battlefield, your reputation in the Jones Kingdom has received a negative increase. There is a chance that you will have a deterrent effect on the enemy when fighting against the Jones Kingdom...]
Alright!
After dispatching this wave of heavy-armored knights, the increase in mission completion rate was a secondary gain. He could now earn an additional 200 minutes of mission time!
In the rear, Jasmin and the others, who had been captured by Fang Heng, exchanged glances, each showing a different expression.
He...
Even Jones Kingdom's mightiest heavy cavalry regiment fell short against Fang Heng.
"Boom! Boom!"
Just as Fang Heng pondered how to proceed with the next steps against the city, the booming sound of cannons suddenly echoed.
A light purple beam shot from the military fortress's muzzle!
The light cannon struck the ground, creating enormous craters with a resounding boom!
The earth trembled violently.
Jasmin and the others simultaneously raised their heads, looking in the direction of the military fortress, and cautioned, "Be careful, it's a magicite cannon."
Fang Heng also furrowed his brow, gazing at the three military fortresses in the distance.
He had indeed heard of magicite cannons.
It was very potent.
Moreover, the final damage was spell damage.
Its weak point was that its effective range was relatively short. As long as the target left the effective range, it would be difficult to guarantee a hit rate. In addition, it was very troublesome to move the cannon. Every attack would consume a lot of energy.
The zombie team had left the effective shooting range.
Under the dense bombardment of the magicite cannon, a few of the magicite cannons coincidentally hit the zombie crowd and instantly killed 20 to 30 zombies.
It wasn't that the magicite cannons couldn't hit the zombies, but it seemed like they were venting their anger.
Fang Heng turned around and looked at the few captive players behind him. "Are there many such large-scale magicite cannons in the military fortress?"
"We've heard that there's military deployment inside the fortress, but this is the first time we've heard of magicite cannons."
"Got it." Fang Heng hummed softly.
It was normal for the Jones Kingdom's military deployment to be kept secret from players.
Although magicite cannons were potent, they were not entirely without flaws.
"Let's try again!"
Now, he could confirm that defeating the Jones Kingdom soldiers would reward him with commission time and completion rate bonuses.
Moreover, the Holy Court's deployment point was also inside the military fortress.
As long as he could find a way to break through the fortress, he would undoubtedly earn a lot in commission completion rate.
"Let's continue!" Fang Heng thought to himself.
Fang Heng changed his tactics, controlling the zombie clones to maintain a loose formation and slowly advance toward the fortress. This way, they wouldn't be obliterated by the magicite cannons.
"Here they come! Undead! They're attacking!"
On the city wall, tension rose again as a large number of undead creatures slowly advanced toward the fortress.
Anthea had the Empire's heavy-armored knights enter the military fortress to rest for a while. She immediately returned to the main military fortress where the imperial uncle was located and climbed up the city wall to observe the situation.
Upon reaching the city wall, she saw that the imperial uncle had already fired the magicite cannon. Anthea couldn't help but sigh.
The effective range of the magicite cannon was short, and the consumption was high.
It looked like a fierce move, but in fact, it was not very effective.
They could wait until the enemy entered the effective range of the magicite cannon before suddenly opening fire, catching them off guard and destroying a large number of the enemy's forces in one fell swoop.
Yet, she met an imperial uncle who did not know anything and liked to give orders blindly.
When the imperial uncle saw Anthea arrive, he was displeased, but he held back his anger.
He didn't think there was anything scary about the undead. He just felt that Anthea wasn't capable enough and had lost.
Anthea looked at Bishop Kotter and said in a deep voice, "Holy Court, I need you to give me an explanation. Why are the undead creatures so powerful? These are not ordinary undead zombies! When will your reinforcements arrive?"
Bishop Kotter of the Holy Court also realized this.
The zombies outdoors were not ordinary.contemporary romance
Seeing that the two of them were about to start quarreling again, the imperial uncle said in a deep voice, "Commander Anthea, the sudden increase in the strength of the undead is not something we want to see. Let's put aside the matter of holding them accountable for now. Focus on thinking of a way to deal with the undead outside."
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Anthea clenched her fists and suppressed her anger.
"The teleportation array is still in the final stage of charging. It still needs some time." Kotter cupped his hands at Anthea and said in a gentle tone, "Commander Anthea, the undead have already attacked the fortress. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them with just the magic crystal cannons."
Anthea looked at Bishop Kotter. "Bishop, what do you think?"
"We think we should take the initiative to attack. The Holy Court will assist the Empire's massive knights to break through the undead that breaks through the range of the magic crystal cannons. Do you think this method is feasible?"
Anthea glanced at the battlefield below the city wall.
In the distance, a large number of undead creatures were slowly approaching the rightmost military fortress.
The magic crystal cannons on the three military fortresses kept booming.
Unfortunately, the density of zombies was relatively loose.
A single blast would only kill three or four at most.
There were still a few remaining zombies that managed to pass through the dense bombardment range of the magicite cannon.
She had to find a way to deal with these zombies. Otherwise, they would affect the fortress.
Indeed, just as Bishop Kotter had said, they needed to send people to deal with this group of zombies.
"I understand. I will lead the team to eliminate the zombies. I hope that the reinforcements from the Holy Court will arrive as soon as possible."
Anthea said and turned to depart the city wall.
Soon, the city gate opened again. The massive warriors of the Empire gathered and attacked the city again and again, killing the scattered zombies outdoors the fortress that had broken through the bombardment area of the magicite cannon.
A few ordinary cavalry and infantry regiments also joined in and scattered to clear out the zombies.
