Chapter 62 59 The moment of counterattack (third update completed)

As three new city defense magic cannons were put on the city wall, the attack of the prairie army encountered huge obstacles.

They had no choice but to retreat from the west gate of Linfeng City, trying to find other breakthroughs.

In fact, because in the past city defense cannons were scattered and built at fixed positions on the city wall, the forts could not move, and the angle at which they could release spells was limited. A single city wall could only radiate the firepower of two forts at the same time.

Since the new city defense cannon can be moved at will, three firepower can be placed on a city wall at the same time.

More can be placed as conditions permit.

Therefore, if the prairie troops want to concentrate their forces to break through a city wall, they will even have to withstand more powerful city defense artillery firepower than before.

Realizing this situation, they split their troops and divided them into four groups to besiege the four walls of Linfeng City.

There was no way around it, and they soon discovered that no matter which side their troops attacked from, the new magic cannons on the city wall always moved faster than them.

This is natural. Standing on the high city wall, the movements of the troops outside the city can be seen clearly.

No matter which troops approach Linfeng City from any direction, they will find that there is already a city defense gun pointed at them on the city wall.

As time passed and the stalemate on the battlefield dragged into the afternoon, the prairie troops became more desperate.

Because they suddenly discovered that the number of city defense cannons on the city wall had changed from three to five.

???

This is such a speed for making weapons. This is a strategic city defense weapon. Do you think it is a dumpling? ?

Under the baptism of five city defense guns, the outside of Linfeng City completely turned into a no man's land without any grass.

From morning until now, relying on the fire support of the city's defense magic cannon, the prairie army could no longer get closer to the city wall and did not achieve any results.

They began to withdraw their troops and moved their troops back five kilometers. The siege operation that lasted for nearly thirty hours was finally forced to terminate under the rapid and powerful firepower of the defending city.

On the city wall, looking at the large army of prairie people who began to withdraw, the defenders on the city wall cheered with relief.

From the beginning, the commander rebelled and the city defense cannon was destroyed.

Then White Raven took action and protected the control room of the barrier mechanism;
The army from the grassland launched a fierce attack and repeatedly attacked the city gate, causing heavy casualties to the army.

Then, new city defense artillery was promptly put into the city wall to form a powerful city defense firepower network, which ultimately caused the enemy to return without success.

Every twist and turn is so thrilling for the defenders, but if the turning point comes slower, the ending may become completely different.

This made them extremely grateful to the White Raven and the alchemists who made the new batch of city defense cannons.

As the creator of the "Legend of the White Raven", the inventor of a new type of city defense cannon, and an unparalleled genius alchemist——

Nolen, the representative of the city lord's palace and the representative of the head of the Knights, Vishes, was in his alchemy workshop at this time, signing for the last alchemical weapon sent from the Alchemy Society.

Unlike the previous five new city defense cannons, this alchemical weapon is also a strategic magic weapon and will be equipped with the sixth-level fire spell "Heavenly Burning Flame".

But it is not a city defense weapon, but a kind of individual combat equipment.

Open the cargo box and you can see the full picture of this individual strategic magic weapon:
Its main body is composed of a 1.5-meter-long gun barrel. The array structure compartment is located at the end of the barrel. The rear of the gun is relatively thick because it is equipped with a half-meter-long and wide array base.

In order to shorten the production cycle and save space, although this individual magic cannon is equipped with an independent magic power source in the middle of the barrel, it is not large enough to support the massive amount of magic power required to release sixth-level spells on its own.

As compensation, there is a magic pipeline at the tail of the magic cannon that can be directly inserted into the flight backpack. The remaining magic power required to cast high-level spells will also be directly provided by the magic source of the backpack's main engine.

Due to its size, it cannot be held in the forehand like a magic gun. Instead, it must be bound with a shoulder strap and hung on the user's back.

When it is necessary to use the magic cannon, the user can hold up the magic cannon with his hand to aim, activate the magic circle and release the spell.

Because it is an individual weapon, this magic cannon is more maneuverable than the new city defense cannon, and therefore has more tactical value.

Nolen used the "projection" ability to imprint the magic circle of "Sky Burning Flame" on the magic cannon's magic circle base, then sealed it with a black box and put it back into the magic circle warehouse.After finishing the preparations, he left the laboratory and knocked on Yuna's door.

After a day's rest, Yuna has recovered from the aftereffects of the liberation potion. She is fully dressed and sitting on a chair with her eyes closed to relax. It seems that she is ready to go.

Seeing Nolen push the door in, she opened her eyes and looked at him with her blue eyes.

"Get ready, White Raven." Nolen smiled, "It's time to fight back."

"Yeah." Yuna nodded and stood up.

"In this attack, you will use the flying wing type of Valkyrie equipment that is completely controlled by telepathy. This will be completely different from the previous operating feel of the No. [-] unit."

Nolen continued, "Your new weapon has also been made... Go to Aisha to get your equipment first, put on the mask, and I will contact you later for the specific mission."

After saying that, he waved and left.

Yuna slowly exhaled and walked out of the room.

For such a long time, Linfeng City has been in a passive state under the invasion of the prairie people.

Villages were looted, hometowns were trampled, and relatives were killed. Even the city lord's palace did nothing at the beginning. The grievances and anger in his heart could only be swallowed in his stomach.

Later, even if Linfeng's army successfully defended several times, it was regarded as a great victory.

But she knew in her heart that this was not the case. This was still far from victory.

There is no true victory until one regains his homeland and completely drives out the invaders.

And she will transform into a white raven and fire the first shot of counterattack for Linfeng City.

……

As the sun set, on top of the city wall, Ryan and Evelin watched the prairie troops gradually retreat.

Nolen came over and stood shoulder to shoulder with them. Evelin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hey, the great hero is here."

There was also a smile on Ryan's lips: "You are more powerful than I thought, Nolen. I didn't expect that you actually built five city defense cannons in one day. This is really...unheard of." .

"Thanks to you, we not only guarded the city gate, but also eliminated a considerable part of their effective forces. In the next few years after today, they may never have the energy to launch such a large-scale attack on us."

"Within a few years?" Nolen shook his head, "I hope they will never have this opportunity.

"Since they dare to use the strength of the entire clan to launch an invasion, we will let them taste the taste of annihilation. They can come and leave as they please. What do they think of this place?"

Ryan understood what he meant. Now that the prairie troops had failed to attack the city, suffered heavy casualties, and were low in momentum, it was a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack.

It's just that the situation on the city defender's side is not good either. After fighting all night, everyone is a little tired.

If we leave the advantage of defending the city and rush out of the city to pursue, we may not necessarily achieve a complete victory.

At this moment, a figure soared into the sky from Linfeng City.

She rose to an altitude of several hundred meters and turned into a meteor in the sky, speeding towards the direction where the prairie troops were evacuating.

"Don't worry, the white raven will go and give the other party a farewell gift first."

Nolen smiled slightly, took out the black raven mask from his arms and put it on.

"Today's sunset will surely be even more beautiful, right?"
