1138 Catapult Again

"You're going to make more of those Catapult again?" Nan Luo was stunned when he saw the few catapult that Nan Hua made. This time, she made sure that they added wheels to that the catapult could be brought around.

The previous catapult was burned to make sure that no one will be able to use it after they left the West Point City.

"It's just an additional attack pattern." Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo. "At the very least, it can give some deterrence."

The fact that Shi Long Kingdom was called as the biggest kingdom was not only because they had more land and people. They also had advance technology that surpassed other kingdoms.

If not because they were busy fighting against those tribes at the south, it was estimated that Shi Long Kingdom would have become the biggest and most powerful kingdom. After that, the other kingdoms might fall for their hand.

But the unrest within Shi Long Kingdom was equally large.

This was what prevented them from declaring all-out war against other five kingdoms and had only declared war from time to time at the border to make sure that they were still making their stance as the most powerful kingdom among the six kingdoms.

"…Will they think that Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom cooperate together?" Nan Luo asked what he was worried about.

"Shi Long Kingdom is not the only one who can make these things." Nan Hua rolled her eyes. Did they think only Shi Long Kingdom's people had brain? The other kingdoms could also make something similar.

Whilst the design and power might not be as good as Shi Long Kingdom who had perfected this thing, it was still much better than nothing. In any case, Nan Hua think that this was a good alternative option.

"Well, at least, we can indeed use this." Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "In city's siege, this is indeed a good item. But if we're talking about open area combat, this thing will just hinder our movement."

Taking this catapult around will undoubtedly slow down their army's movement. It was not good for an army that pursued speed. Since soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom were mostly those who liked to fight head on in open area or in the forest…

This catapult was indeed not a suitable choice for them.

"Maybe we can just design one that can be dismantled quickly so that it will not hinder the troops' movement?" Nan Hua glanced at Feng Ao Kuai.

Feng Ao Kuai's eyes shone. "That will indeed really good. However, making such part wouldn't be easy. At the very least, it's impossible for these soldiers to make them."

That kind of elaborate design would require proper crafter to make. If they were only to ask these soldiers… it would be good enough if the entire catapult didn't fall apart and hit them instead.

Nan Hua nodded. She looked at the few catapult in front of her and thought to herself that it was not completely impossible to make that. Aside from that, they could actually equip these at the top of the wall.

For what?

Naturally, it was to aim towards the opponent's catapult.

After all, Shi Long Kingdom's cities were mostly equipped with these too. The only reason why Shangguan Family could deal with them so far was because these people were already used being hit and knew what to do when they saw these stones coming.

Move to avoid it.

Or even use the shield prepared to deflect to one side.

There were various methods that could be used. Though, some of them were a bit harder to do for ordinary people.

Fei Yang Kingdom will eventually fight against Shi Long Kingdom. At that time, the matter of difference in terms of technology will definitely come to the surface.

Nan Hua was definitely not an expert in these 'ancient' weapons. She only knew the basic design, but if she wanted to make one that rivalled those from Shi Long Kingdom, she would need a long time researching.

More researching?

Nan Hua was unwilling.

She had already spent a long time doing those annoying researches in medicine before she could come up with some alternatives. If she had to design these too, it would be very very troublesome.

This basic design was enough.

There were enough talents in Fei Yang Kingdom who will be able to come up with stronger version.

"My current position is definitely not enough to authorize something like this." Feng Ao Kuai frowned. "Let's discuss with Grandfather later."

"Sure."

Nan Hua was calm.

"Anyway, when are you going to let these soldiers sleep?" Nan Luo yawned. He was also tired and looking at these soldiers were still asked to follow Nan Hua's order and built these catapult in the short few hours…

He had to applaud them.

Truthfully, these soldiers were indeed tired.

But when Nan Hua gave order, their body moved on their own.

It was not like they wanted to work overtime….

But Nan Hua's order was already like Emperor's Decree for them. They had to follow whatever she said or they would be in for a beating.

Adjutant Nan's status in their heart was very high.

They were both afraid and respectful towards her.

Thus, it come to this scene where when they were tired, but Nan Hua gave order, so they followed her words.

"This is the last one." Nan Hua pointed to the catapult in front of her. "After this, they all can rest."

"That's good." Nan Luo took a deep breath. "Anyway, I'm going to rest first. I really think that we should file a complaint regarding child's abuse…. My sleep quality has been extremely bad right now."

Feng Ao Kuai was speechless. He poked Nan Luo's head. "This is the consequences of taking this job, so just live with it."

"I know, I know…"

Nan Hua watched them went back and tilted her head. Recalling her previous world, she knew that even students had to burn overnight candles from time to time. Especially if they were the type to leave their task until last minute.

Well, in any case, in every world, there will definitely be cases of children sleeping late because of some 'reasons.'
