Chapter 123 Bombardment
"Zhu Zi, you hit it wrong!"

"Go away and play with me. From now on, you are only allowed to play with the wheelchair gun!" Iron Frenzy pushed the battlefield wheelchair man away, cursing.

He thought this guy was really good at firing cannons, but he didn't expect that he was just showing off and wasted his precious cannonball.

Iron Frenzy discovered that the general had not yet evacuated from the city wall, so he immediately began to aim and calculate again.

The distance is not very far and the terrain is exceptionally simple and open.

Iron Frenzy quickly ordered:

"Set all the parameters for shooting!"

"Azimuth 27-00, firing angle 06-80!"

The ogre "Big Head" acting as the gun carriage immediately adjusted his position according to the instructions, and looked at the wheelchair man next to him with contempt. The other ogre also began to take out the shells and load the fuse.

The wheelchair man was stunned and couldn't help for a moment. He thought to himself: "My intelligence was despised by an ogre?"

However, Iron Tide didn't care about his pride, and only wanted to take down the elite monster, so he shouted:

"Prepare—release!"

With a roar, the shell whistled out again, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

This time, after calibration, the landing point of the artillery shell was extremely accurate, and it was obviously aimed at the general.

……

At the city tower of Troy.

The pitch-black metal shells fell from the sky and landed precisely next to Earl Dawson.

"boom!"

Just heard an earth-shattering loud noise.

Shrapnel flew everywhere and dust rose up.

Earl Dawson was blown from the city wall to the ground, becoming a pool of unrecognizable charred flesh and blood, mixed with the shattered fragments of his ancestral armor.

His adjutants and city defense troops were also killed or wounded.

Many bricks were blown away and fell into the crowd under the city wall, causing many casualties.

"Oh my god——"

"The Earl is dead!"

"The Burning Nest is coming!"

"Help! They are coming in!"

The refugees were crowded and crying as they fled everywhere, and there was even a stampede.

The city defense forces were helpless in the face of this. Their lord the earl had been killed in the explosion, and many of them were even frightened by the shells falling from the sky and were at a loss as to what to do.

"What should I do?"

"Should we continue with the order?"

"But the Earl is dead, and so is the captain."

"I do not know."

So the city defense troops could only stand by and watch.

The news of the earl's death spread quickly throughout the city. For a time, the entire city of Tro was plunged into chaos. There were loyal confidants who wanted to fight to the death and fulfill the earl's will, there were shameless nobles who wanted to survive and surrender to preserve their status, and there were even pure-blooded snake spies who were secretly stirring up the situation in the city.

At the same time, at the Burning Embers Nest position.

The followers were somewhat confused about the commotion in Tro City, but the players knew it all.

[You killed [Count Dawson Villers] and received 1200 experience points]
[You defeat the enemy general and gain 5500 contribution to the [Burning Nest] camp]
"Oh my god, it's killed in one shot!" Iron Frenzy widened his eyes, staring at the generous rewards refreshed on the panel, and was immediately surprised and delighted.

The wheelchair man in the battlefield whispered, "Boss, how did this ogre understand the instructions and aim so accurately?"

Iron Frenzy sneered, "This ogre is much smarter than you. He even memorized the artillery firing table. In the process, I only consumed 300 kilograms of raw meat to motivate him. He is not like you. You can only aim blindly."

"How can it be"

The wheelchair man on the battlefield was struck by lightning and muttered to himself in disbelief.

He was actually defeated by an ogre in terms of intelligence?
Iron Frenzy patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, "You are not suitable for playing with such complicated things. When I have more resources in the future, I will personally make you a Type 2 submachine gun. Go and play with it."

The ogre "Big Head" seemed to realize that they were discussing him, so he turned around and a provocative smile appeared on his ugly face.

The wheelchair man wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to change the subject, so he suddenly cheered, "Boss, you are awesome! Another shot!"

"Give them a little artillery shock!"

Unexpectedly, the leader of the earth elves, Dolo, the commander of this siege, was also attracted by the noise. He came in person and asked these Falling Stars if they could blast open the city wall directly.

"I guess it won't work."

Steel Frenzy, however, touched his head embarrassedly.

He patted the hot barrel, and with a crisp bang, the metal barrel suddenly exploded, and the muzzle opened like a blooming flower, with wisps of green smoke coming out.

"This is just a test piece. I brought it here for testing."

"You can only shoot twice at most."

It was definitely not because he cut corners and secretly used the mithril specially allocated by the Burning Nest to make armor, and instead mixed inferior metal into the barrel of the mortar - Iron Frenzy secretly added in his heart, and vowed not to tell anyone about this.

After most of the day, the unrest in the city gradually subsided.

Dolo was a little disappointed, but still looked at the tall city wall with a grin.

"The master said that order must be maintained in the city."

"But if they don't surrender, then there's nothing I can do—"

A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. It was said that the master would come in person to the siege this time. He had to show his bravery and loyalty and make the enemy tremble when they heard his name.

"boom--"

However, just as he was daydreaming, the heavy city gate slowly opened.

A white flag was flying on the tall city wall.

The city of Tro, which had not been breached for a hundred years, was easily breached, and the Burning Nest only paid two shells, one of which even missed the target.

Under Doro's orders, the most orderly army of hobgoblins and lizardmen entered the city first, followed by the players, while those followers that might cause unrest, such as ogres and dragons, were left stationed outside the city.

The city gates opened and the army of Burning Embers entered in neat rows.

The once bustling streets were now empty, except for the occasional flash of worried and frightened eyes through the gaps between doors and windows.

After the death of Earl Dawson, the person with the highest status in the city was the deputy city lord, Viscount Burleigh. At this moment, he was standing at the city gate, respectfully welcoming the army of the Burning Embers Nest. Facing the tall, brutal and ferocious Doro, even his fat was trembling.

"My lord, on behalf of all the citizens of Tro City, I welcome you."

"very good."

Doro grinned, his scaly face trying to put on a kind smile.

However, this had the opposite effect, making the viscount in front of him even more fearful, fearing that the dragon vein earth spirit would treat him as a delicious meal in a rage.

"People often regard the fall of Troyes as a great shame and a complete farce, but in my opinion, it is just a continuation of the results of the Battle of Trier. If the coalition forces had not been annihilated and those passionate citizens had returned to Troyes, the process of this incident would never have been like this."
