"The great king."

"The Supreme Cannon has been installed."

"Awaiting your review."

"Okay!" Mumona jumped up from her seat: "Notify the entire army that thunder will come soon."

"Don't be frightened."

"Humph." A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Norma people, do you think your city walls can protect you forever?"

"It's such a shame, times have changed."

【This is very strange. 】

Shu Yichao has returned to the city, but System 12345 is still struggling.

[Bayed’s impression of the host has reached rock bottom. 】

[But Mumona’s impression of the host has actually increased? 】

[Did you, host, humiliate Bayed and please Mumona? 】

System 12345 can't figure out what's going on inside.

[But there seems to be no prompt that these two people are in conflict. 】

[Is it a hidden element? 】

System 12345 thought about it and found this was the only possibility.

[Yes, there is not only one way to complete the strategy mission - no matter what, as long as you can push the main line. 】

Chapter 18 - The cannon fires

One after another, the heavy bronze behemoths crept quietly on the fort, facing the towering city wall of Constantinople, opening their mouths as black as ink.

"It's so beautiful."

Under the protection of many attendants, Mumona slapped the cold barrels of these cannons contentedly, feeling their unique violent aesthetics.

These terrifying cannons are the secret weapons prepared by Momona to break Constantinople.

For these giant cannons, she spent a lot of money to hire talented engineers, invited countless craftsmen, and spent huge sums of money to purchase excellent ores. After several months of hard casting, she experienced countless casualties——

Only then did he finally create this terrifying barrel that weighed almost twenty tons and had a barrel nearly a foot thick, and named it the Supreme Cannon.

When transporting it, it had to be pulled by dozens of strong bulls, a team of professional engineering teams repaired the gun mount at any time, hundreds of big men carefully supported it, and thousands of people felled the rolling logs...

Just transporting it took two months.

Although it cost countless money, manpower and material resources, Mumona believed that it was all worth it.

The Supreme Cannon can hit half a ton of shells two kilometers away!

Even the Western Wall of Constantinople could not withstand such a horrific bombardment!

"It's time to give the Norma a little cannon shock."

Mumona and her guards retreated to a far enough distance before giving orders to the artillery.

"fire!"

In fact, the preparatory work before firing, such as cleaning the barrel, setting the elevation, mixing gunpowder, and polishing the stone bullets, started this morning, but it was really late.

So it's only now that it's ready for launch.

"Nourishing, nourishing—"

The long fuse was ignited, and the orange sparks slowly advanced, and finally penetrated into the muzzle of the Supreme Cannon...

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Dozens of cannons were fired at the same time, with a loud noise that shook the sky. In the shining light of the fire, the dark stone bullets let out a deadly scream. The world was turned upside down and the earth was shaken!

In the huge roar, in the soaring smoke, in the terrible vibration, in the panic of the defenders——

The Western Wall, which had protected Constantinople for more than 1000 years, let out an overwhelmed cry for the first time!

The mottled stone walls turned into debris and scattered, the defenders' armor was instantly penetrated like paper, and the tower collapsed instantly like egg shells...

A section of the towering city wall fell apart like this!

"The city, the city wall collapsed!?" When the city defenders saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, frightened and at a loss.

Some soldiers even abandoned their posts and ran around like headless chickens.

The soldiers were in panic.

The people were even more unbearable. This scene that seemed like the end of the world caused countless people to run wild and fainted to the ground.

Countless citizens went to churches in despair, hoping in vain for salvation from the Lord.

But among the people who are in constant panic, there is always someone with a unique painting style.

"Wow -" Shu Yichao rode his horse to the place where the city wall was destroyed and looked at the gap with interest.

"Is this the Urban Cannon?"

"No wonder I always felt uncomfortable before. It turns out I forgot about this thing."

"It's so powerful, it's worthy of being the largest cannon in history that can blast across the Western Wall of Constantinople."

"By the way, I don't think I've seen a musket before..."

Shu Yichao walked leisurely on the city wall. The roar of artillery fire, the splashing bricks and stones, and the rising smoke had no impact on him at all.

He even had the interest to kick the gravel on the ground.

"Big production, absolutely big production!"

"Such a conscientious production team is rare these days."

Shu Yichao looked back at Osman's artillery position: "I just don't know if it's a sticker on the other side, or something else -"

"In addition, the place where the city wall collapsed was a fixed location selected long ago, or was it random?"

Seeing the Priest King talking and laughing so calmly, with no fear on his face, the frightened soldiers around him gradually recovered.

At this moment, the double-headed eagle flag quickly approached, and it was Constantine XI in military uniform who came to this most dangerous place.

He saw that Shu Yichao was also there. After nodding slightly at Shu Yichao, he began to patrol the city wall and encourage the soldiers.

"Warriors of Norma, take courage!"

"Maybe right now you are filled with fear and worry."

"But don't forget, we are Norma people!"

"The last Norma people in the world!"

"We guard the glorious legacy of Caesar, Augustus, and Trajan!"

"Guarding Norma's last land!"

"Since ancient times, the Norma people have valued honor more than life!"

"Even if you die in battle, don't tarnish this pride that belongs to us!"

Encouraged by the emperor, the soldiers guarding the city gradually regained their courage and began to follow Constantine XI everywhere to collect gravel, dismantle wood, find mud, and brick ash to start repairing the city wall.

The defenders repaired the city amidst the roar of artillery fire, while the Osman army cheered and their morale, which had been severely hit before, recovered a lot.

Seeing the soldiers under her command waving flags and shouting with excitement, Mumona finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ridiculous pagan."

She glanced disdainfully at the Western Wall, which had already been damaged in more than a dozen places, and couldn't help but reveal a determined smile on her lips.

She has already thought of the next battle plan.

In this way, the Supreme Cannon was used to bombard the Western Wall of Constantinople, damaging the morale of the defenders in the city, wearing down their energy, and consuming their supplies.

After more than a dozen holes were blasted out of the Western Wall and the defenders were exhausted, 20 troops filed in and flooded the city.

Maybe the Khitans will be very troublesome, but after all, their numbers are too small. How can they defeat the Osman warriors who are hundreds of times their number?

And maybe we can capture the young Khitan general alive.

After swallowing slightly, Mumona returned to her back tent.

Two beauties, clad in translucent gauze, with graceful figures and delicate skin, immediately came forward to greet her with a sweet voice.

"Sudan--"

Mumona waved her hand, indicating that she was not interested in that right now, and dismissed the two of them.

She was preparing to take a rest when new news came from outside.

And the content of this news...

"Want to see me from the Willis and Zelaiya people?" Mumona said numbly: "What on earth do these profit-seeking businessmen want to do?"

If there are any people in the world that even the wise Sultan can't figure out their brain circuits, then the commercial city-states born in Norma's homeland, Willis and Zelaiya, must be among the best.

For example, during the siege of Constantinople this time, they were organizing a fleet to transport money and food in an attempt to assist Norma, and on the other hand, they were frantically selling information about Norma to Mumona through the concessions in the city.

While driving up prices in the city of Constantinople and making huge war fortunes, he also generously donated money and recruited mercenaries to defend the city that the world longed for.

At the same time, they were still in Moria, the enclave of Norma in the south, instigating the brothers of Constantine XI to rebel and informing Constantine XI at the same time.

Well, both an alliance and a war with Norma.

Mumona really couldn't understand this operation.

"Forget it, let's listen to what new information they have." Mumona stood up in disinterest and went to meet the representatives of the commercial city-state.

Then, she got some very surprising news.

"What are you talking about?"

"The Khitans in the city plan to attack me at night?"

Chapter 19 - Willisians causing trouble

Constantinople.

Much earlier than when the Willis and the Zeleians tipped off to Mumona.

"Phew, it's finally blocked."

Even after barely closing the gap in the city wall, Constantine XI still had a look of worry on his face.

"I just don't know how long it can last."

Of course, the strength of these repaired walls cannot be compared with the real Western Wall.

Moreover, the Supreme Cannon opposite would drop stone bullets carrying extremely huge energy every once in a while with terrifying screams.

This is a severe test for both the city wall and the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

"Suna." Constantine XI said to Mrs. Marty who followed him and never left.

"Those supreme cannons will probably completely blow down our city wall soon."

"It seems that we will have to fight a tough street battle after all."

"Hey, I really regret letting that engineer go."

The engineer who could make the supreme cannon actually applied for a job with Constantine XI first.

It's a pity that although Constantine XI valued him very much, Norma's empty treasury really couldn't afford the wages of engineers, let alone the casting of terrible cannons.

So the engineer ran to Mumona, helped him cast the supreme cannon, and pointed the muzzle at his former boss.

"...I'll ask him and see if there's anything I can do." Mrs. Marty thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine." Constantine XI nodded slightly.
