Chapter 321: Magic and Fire

The unfolded mage armor is like broken glass. When one piece is broken, there is another piece to fill it. They interweave and fill it, blocking the incoming lead bullets.

Mage armor loss, 60%.

Humans are so fragile, they don't rely on tools or auxiliary devices.

The temporary mage armor can only barely resist an incoming... shell?

The human mage looked at the lead bullets that stopped in front of the defense shield built by the mage armor and were pulled by gravity to hit the ground. The overly soft bullets had already deformed when they hit the first mage armor.

Every time a mage armor is broken through, it will make it more like a drop of water splashing on the ground, and the soft lead mud will stretch its plane like liquid.

You know, this is artillery/gun, a technology that has long been abandoned by the magic empire.

Slow, bloated, short range.

The performance in the war was far inferior to that of a trained war mage. The basic prism array was already able to kill array infantry at a distance of 200 meters.

There was no need for gunpowder to exist. When its flames just rose, they were extinguished by the booming magic and rune technology.

This was just one reason.

Elves like precise and controllable energy. This extremely violent and uncontrollable form of energy release is not what they like.

Even mages born from humans, tree people, orcs, and even trolls do not like this technology.

This violent and uncontrollable technology that can be used by anyone.

I am more certain of one thing, the other party, the enemy. It is definitely not the native troops of this world, but newcomers like us.

Hunters can restore the shape of prey based on the fur of the prey, and botanists can also infer the shape of plants based on the leaves of plants.

He took a breath. If it was a cannon, they would have a few minutes to breathe. Some of the arcane focusers that reacted began to counterattack the direction of the artillery attack. Those light streams often dissipated before they could reach the target.

The flickering bright yellow light streams seemed like searchlights sweeping the sky, like headless flies trying to tear open the moonless night sky with their weapons.

Rather than a counterattack, it was more like a stress response after being attacked.

A stress response to the unknown.

The human mage was too lazy to scold them, and issued the order to protect the arcane focus generator in the tower as much as possible. He didn't know the enemy, but he knew the battle very well. He was also a war mage who survived a war.

After the enemy's long-range attack, there would definitely be infantry, constructs, or monster infantry. They would be thrown into the battlefield when the long-range attack ended.

"Don't stand there, where's your traction spell? Where's your object movement spell?"

The human mage turned around and roared at the stunned elf mage, he could no longer care about his face. In the previous round of shooting, the human mage had confirmed that at least four were destroyed. If he hadn't spoken in time to let the war mages launch anti-ranged attack spells, there would be more losses.

Ranged attack.

Ranged attack that exceeds the attack range of our prism.

"I'm going to reassemble the mage armor, you move this thing down quickly."

We must keep more arcane focus generators, this kind of weapon can effectively fight against the opponent's incoming steam mechas, and the attacks of the line infantry will not hurt the opponent.

"But, there are still..."

The elf mage glanced at the line infantry lying in a pile below, bit his tongue, and put the spell model into the ready state.

The fact that they were able to quickly install the arcane focus generator on the tower was all thanks to the object movement spell. Only two war mages were needed to pull this heavy war machine downstairs smoothly.

As for those guys below, let them fend for themselves.

"Huh..."

The first round of shooting was just calibration shooting. After confirming the location of the smoke and dust in the distance, the gunners began to adjust the gun positions. The distance from 100 meters to 100 meters... even the Eagle Eye spell was a bit too much.

In 15 minutes, 300 rounds of 100mm lead bullets were continuously poured along the route to the tower that was still active before. The heavy lead bullets were projected across a distance of 100 meters to the prism array composed of energy runes, and the operators of the tower were also blown to pieces.

Each round of shooting can take away an arcane focus generator. The bursting and dazzling elemental energy group is the best indicator for the artillerymen - they confirm that they have hit the target.

When the enemy withdraws the siege equipment and the line infantry stationed on the city wall, the 10mm cannon reveals its shortcomings of insufficient power.

The 10mm smoothbore cannon also seems powerless in front of the solid wall.

Rocks and soil, building walls can treat small-caliber artillery as nothing.

The thick structure is enough to deter the kinetic energy of small-caliber artillery. The soil and rocks will crack and break under continuous shooting.

But they cannot be penetrated.

This power will be exhausted as the wall continues to thicken. Even if the rock and soil are broken a hundred times, they are still rock and soil. The accumulated fragments and powder will be an excellent buffer.

Until the attackers switched to more powerful weapons.

When all the arcane focus generators were extinguished, the artillery cruiser approached to a distance of 100 meters. Confirming that the arcane focus generators on the tower and the city wall were not damaged but had been removed, the enemies in the castle temporarily lost their ability to fire at the enemy.

The infantry and construct troops began to advance under the cover of high-altitude artillery bombardment.
