Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 146: Governor

Boom!

The 'God's Grace' proudly roared, its main cannon firing, causing the entire deck to momentarily halt.

A few breaths later.

The white mist from the muzzle began to dissipate, the high-temperature steam gradually merging with the air, finally not scalding the skin.

The entire gun crew immediately rushed forward, executing operations methodically according to training procedures.

The first to move was a warlock acting as a safety inspector.

He was responsible for clearing residual water, inspecting and maintaining the condition of the ship's cannon and surrounding deck, ensuring a safe and stable environment for firing.

Another warlock served as the spotter.

The spotter first reported the results of the previous shelling to all members of the team.

Then, he scouted the situation of various targets, consulted with the gun captain to determine the next target, and adjusted the ship's cannon's azimuth and angle accordingly.

Finally, he filled the gun chamber with an appropriate amount of water and shells in sequence.

At this time, the gun captain, who had been standing motionless at the console at the rear of the gun, began to input fire mana into the ship's cannon and constantly monitored the blue control panel on the gun barrel.

This control panel was the core of the ship's cannon.

Various key information was displayed on the panel, and many buttons for controlling the ship's cannon were arranged on it.

From the panel, one could see the amount of fire mana input, the consumption and remaining amount of fortification mana, the weight of the water and shells loaded, the estimated muzzle velocity, range, and target hit…

The functions of the buttons were even more extensive and obvious.

There were buttons for firing shells, for adjusting whether the shells would explode at a fixed time, a fixed distance, or upon impact, for increasing or decreasing the energy contained within the shells, and so on.

This was a veritable artifact for the Holy Fire Warriors.

Originally, flames would erupt upon leaving the hand, but on the panel, they were so tamed and quiet, able to be activated whenever desired, and with whatever amount of power desired.

How perfect, how powerful.

Thus, the position of ship's cannon gun captain became a coveted role for all Holy Fire Warriors.

But currently, there were only a few hundred ship's cannons, while the number of Holy Fire Warriors on board was more than ten times that number. Most people could only stay on the ship and do nothing.

Fortunately, after Rainroof City was captured, the land war was not far off.

At that time, everyone would have the opportunity to go into battle, kill enemies, seize glory, win back the kingdom for the God-chosen King, and then establish a happy and beautiful earthly paradise.

May the gods protect us!

While Rainroof City on land was collapsing, the crew of the 'God's Grace' paid no attention, only looking at the King's back with adoration and awe.

Just looking at this back could draw infinite power and confidence.

Victory was beyond doubt.

Amidst the roar of the ship's cannons, everyone was firm in this fact.

Geoffrey stood quietly at the bow of the ship.

He was monitoring the control panel of the ship's cannons, evaluating the performance of the gun crews.

This was the first actual combat for the ship's cannons. Shells, personnel, control panels, etc., all 'components' needed to be tested and gain experience.

Especially the control panel of the ship's cannons.

This panel was a creation personally designed by Geoffrey, researched and produced jointly by the Research Institute and the Logistics Bureau.

It integrated information runes, light runes, fortification runes, fire runes, etc., and was more expensive than the ship's cannon itself, naturally holding great expectations.

According to the plan, the control panel should greatly improve the accuracy of the ship's cannons, rationally allocate the output and consumption of mana, ensure the safety and standardization of the gun crew's operations, and guard against and avoid any dangerous behavior of damaging or stealing weapons.

At the same time.

For subsequent optimization, research, and control, all data from the panel was backed up in the God's Grace light curtain system and could be called up for viewing at any time.

Therefore, Geoffrey had a thorough understanding of the status of each ship's cannon behind him.

Just like the main cannon not far away.

"God's Grace" 400mm main gun target point: Rainroof City main castle top floor.

Loading 97 kg of clear water containing 2 units of fire mana, loading one 600 kg high-explosive shell containing 50 units of fire mana, impact explosion.

Estimated muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second, consumption of 3~4 units of fortification mana.

The gun captain raised his left arm and shouted, "Ready!"

"Five, four…"

The other team members immediately moved away, and there was no one in front of the muzzle.

"One. Fire!"

The gun captain pressed the shell launch button on the panel.

The 2 units of fire mana in the clear water were then activated, briefly and continuously generating high-heat expanding steam, propelling the shell to accelerate again and again.

Boom!

The shell flew out of the chamber at high speed, rotating and tearing through the air, whistling towards its prey.

Bang!!

A violent blast of air erupted inside the top floor of Rainroof City's main castle, and countless tiny fragments poured out from the windows and breaches, white mist appearing and gradually dissipating.

The hideous wound on the towering black stone wall was then clearly visible. At least one floor had been cleared.

Geoffrey was quite satisfied.

This ship's cannon initially calibrated three solid shot rounds, the third hitting the target, and then switched to high-explosive shells of the same weight, maintaining good accuracy.

The situation of the other ship's cannons was similar, and after stabilization, they could basically hit the target range.

The training is almost done.

Geoffrey issued a ceasefire order, and the hundreds of ship's cannons quickly calmed down, no longer unleashing their power.

At this time, Rainroof City was full of devastation. The side of the city wall facing the sea had completely become a pile of rubble, and the towers and high castles in the city were also scarred and the walls were incomplete.

The Hound and other shore-based troops began to enter the field, clearing out the remaining enemies and collecting prisoners and supplies.

In fact, this was just the final cleanup.

In the previous fierce shelling, almost all the people who could still move had escaped from the various city gates, resulting in surrendering voluntarily or passively, and almost no one dared to resist anymore.

Currently, the number of dead people in Rainroof City is definitely several times more than the number of living people.

The fact is indeed so.

The Hound and others only dug out dozens of living people with relatively complete bodies and two or three hundred guys waiting to die from the mess everywhere.

Geoffrey stepped into Rainroof City, and the whole city was welcoming him.

Kingsguard Garth Wilde limped to his side, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Geoffrey stopped and looked at the terrified prisoners.

"Divine power has descended, and divine grace is not far away. In the name of God, I forgive you. In the name of the King, those who offend again will not be spared!"

All the prisoners immediately knelt down to thank him for his grace.

Geoffrey smiled gently, "All priests, do your best to heal the wounded, bestow divine grace, persuade them to walk on the right path, and help the light."

The priests then used their abilities.

As long as there was still a breath, the wounds would immediately heal, and the broken limbs would be reborn, only the pale blood color declared the previous unrest.

Then, the priests took out pieces of dragon crystal.

From then on, no one dared to harbor resentment or even rebellious thoughts.

Miracles are so obvious.

Without a doubt, the gods have made a choice, causing the world to submit.

The true king is already destined.

Geoffrey turned to Ser Garth, "Where is Earl Casper Wilde? Is he still alive?"

Garth Wilde silently shook his head.

Geoffrey patted him on the shoulder, "To die in war rather than in bed, Casper must feel a little relieved."

Geoffrey withdrew his palm.

"The fleet will set sail this morning. Rainroof City needs someone to take care of it. Garth, I hereby appoint you as the Governor of Rainroof City, to appease the people, act as an agent in political affairs, and take care of the Wilde family."

"What do you think?"

As a Kingsguard, Garth Wilde could only give one answer.

"As you command."
