The Grand Arcanist Who Can Travel Through American Comics

A battering ram is actually an artillery piece

But this new word did not yet appear in the Noxian vocabulary, so the Noxian half of the artillery had the name battering ram.

And Arthur and others can also get a glimpse of the Noxian's understanding of this weapon from this name.

Fortunately, fortunately, Arthur's first reaction after hearing this was that it seemed that they had not discovered the terrible effect of artillery in large-scale field battles.

Obviously, this thing is only an experimental weapon in the hands of the Noxians. Those Noxian alchemists should have obtained this weapon by accidental experiments, but they are still conducting large-scale experiments and In the process of correction, its true characteristics have not yet been discovered.

Therefore, this Noxian version of the artillery is actually used by them as an unconventional special instrument. In their opinion, it is very suitable for prying open the hard shell of those castles. This is already Very good, they are not planning to use this weapon on a large scale in the field.

This was later proven in Grenada's deposition.

This is all because the structure of this weapon is actually extremely complex. It is almost entirely a musket enlarged to the same proportion. This makes this Noxian version of the artillery far more complex than the early artillery structures in Earth's history. In the history of the development of firearms on earth, muskets were invented based on the development of artillery, but here, it is completely the other way around.

In this way, it is conceivable that, like all new weapons in the history of war, the reliability and rate of fire of artillery produced under this manufacturing process are also very critical.

This kind of artillery is very troublesome to move and fire, and the rate of fire is almost one shot every ten minutes.

This makes this kind of artillery completely worthless for use in field battles, and is only suitable for sieges.

That's why the Noxians called it a battering ram.

Just now, when they attacked the camp, the Noxian artillerymen may have had an idea and fired a few cannons. In fact, even if the cavalry did not rush up to kill those artillerymen, those cannons actually Already misfired.

No one could get them to fire again anytime soon.

In this way, the Noxians have only just built this kind of thing, and have not yet had time to take it to the battlefield and test this weapon in actual combat.

Perhaps this was the thinking of the Noxians in this battle, and they were also considering testing this new weapon in actual combat and constantly exploring the uses of new weapons.

That's why they surrounded them so unhurriedly, not worrying about the Demacians concentrating their forces in the strongest castle for defense.

But of course, the situation is not as optimistic as imagined.

Because weapons like artillery, as long as they are made, they will be constantly tested. The Noxians have a strong team of alchemists, and they are at war in almost different directions in their land. Sooner or later, the Noxians will continue to test and improve this kind of artillery in actual combat, and eventually create an artillery that is truly suitable for actual combat.

It's all just a matter of time.

With the unique spirit of exploration and strong power of action of the Noxians, this time is not too far away from now.

At that point, its opponents will find themselves up against a true weapon from hell.

Each artillery piece is almost equivalent to the combat effectiveness of an extra level three mage on the battlefield of this era.

Its emergence will change this era.

Thinking of this, Arthur was extremely eager to return to Zaun as soon as possible, return there, and quickly start his path to climb the technology tree.

However, when I thought about it, Demacia would be even more dangerous.

The Noxian Legion with its artillery and mages was simply the nemesis of the Demacia Cavalry Legion. Arthur could not imagine how Demacia, which lacked magical power, could resist the enemy's attack.

Demacia's technology, military industry and entire national mechanism are almost completely backward.

This disadvantage is almost irreparable.

This is something that a little alchemist like him cannot control.

Arthur could almost imagine the scene when the two armies fought in the future. The heroic knights charged one after another, trying to break into the Noxian artillery position.
