Realm of Power

July is a pleasant month. It is the harvest season. The sun is shining brightly in the sky. On both sides of the wide commercial road, waist-high waves of golden wheat are swaying in the wind. Because the entire territory strictly applies the Farming Act and adopts many measures. Based on the principle of harvesting more, the enthusiasm of farmers in the territory was completely mobilized.

For their own benefit, the farmers who were assigned the land strictly carried out the intensive farming required by the Satsuma army, and actively supported local water conservancy construction. Farmers from all over the country almost came out to help the Satsuma army dig Issamo chestnuts in May. With the irrigation system centered on the river, the rolling Satsumauri River water flows into the land along the river along the newly opened irrigation canals, feeding the fertile fields on both sides of the river like milk.

Many people who had criticized the Farming Act in the past kept their mouths shut in July. Everyone could see that this year's harvest was not as good as usual. Not only were the number of heavy wheat ears several times greater than before, times, and the grains are plump and large. It is obviously a good harvest that only comes once in a century.

With the 1 million gold coins delivered by the Kugits and several times more food than in previous years, the Samoer army expanded again in July. With enough financial resources and new weapons and equipment, Fatty decided to add another special regiment.

The Thor Grenadier has a scheduled number of 3,000 men and is equipped with 100 Thor cannons. In addition to the 1,500 men at the legion headquarters, the other three flag regiments are equipped with 500 men each. The configuration requirements of this special regiment are issued to the heads of the three flag regiments as top secret. ,

Fatty attached great importance to this new unit and requested that fifty combat-tough squad leaders be transferred from each flag regiment to report to the regiment headquarters, and then go to a remote mountain col with the newly recruited artillery for training. Although a lot of training had been instilled before the training I was mentally prepared, but there was still a big problem during the first test launch.

I have only seen the Thor Cannon once. No one knows what the use of this steel pipe with a bracket is? Everyone looked at the row of steel pipes with brackets in front of them in a daze, but the veteran Sack, who was standing in the first row, was particularly excited.

"What is this? Is this my future weapon? Is such a heavy thing like a heavy siege regiment a heavy weapon used to hit people?"

Veteran Sack felt a little excited, "Haha, it's finally my turn to make a fortune this time."

As a Samoan veteran who had participated in more than two battles, Sack knew that there was one of the most mysterious heavy infantry regiments in the Samoan army. They were all composed of elite Falcon veterans, wearing the highest level of double-layered heavy armor. It is a siege cone that can cut through the heavy armor of knights. Not only does it have the best treatment, but it also has the highest bounty.

In the last battle of Sambuga Hills, it was said that each soldier of the siege regiment received a bounty of at least ten gold coins. This was unbelievable in other light infantry squadrons. Unfortunately, this unit only received soldiers from the Falcon Territory. He was recruited, which made Sack feel helpless.

Hearing that the legion was recruiting veterans to join the new unit this time, Sack, who was full of joy, was the first to go to the squadron leader to sign up, but he didn't expect that what he saw was completely different.

"Ouch! What kind of crappy thing is this! If this thing can be used to hit people, I'll chop off their heads!"

Sack held a Thor with both hands, trying to pick it up with some brute force. The result was that the Thor only shook a few times. Sack's hand was so heavy that he almost dislocated it. He couldn't help but kicked the barrel of the Thor in anger. ,

"Bump!" There was a dull metallic sound, and the hard rebar hit Sac's feet painfully.

"I'm really in trouble this time. If I had known that I was messing with something like this, I wouldn't have come here!"

Veteran Sac held his feet in pain and murmured unwillingly. Suddenly he found that the surroundings were terrifyingly calm. He looked up in surprise and almost frightened his soul. Salon, the captain of the Guards who was just explaining on the stage with spittle, Standing in front of him at this moment, that one shining eye was staring at him,

"Captain Sack, you seem to be very dissatisfied with your weapon. Do you want me to show you how to use it?"

Salon's dull voice frightened veteran Sak so much that he trembled. Salon's signature one-eye was almost unknown to everyone in the Samoan army.

"Lord Salon, you misunderstood. I was fascinated by this new weapon just now. I was too excited and couldn't control it."

The rebellious veterans are dissatisfied with others, but facing this veteran among veterans, the legendary unstoppable Hundred Man Killer, who dares to say no?

The title of "King of Killers" who has killed hundreds of enemies is not in vain. It is said that the prey targeted by that eye is still alive and breathing. The fierce murderous aura on his body makes the veterans feel cold even from a distance of more than ten meters. ,

"Haha, is that right? Since you like it so much, then as the first Thor shooter, let everyone see the power of your new weapon!"

Salongpi pointed at Sak with a smile, and with a hint of playfulness in his cold single eye, he said sternly

"Captain Sack comes out. From now on, you must follow the test shooter's requirements and conduct this test as our first shooter in Samoer!"

In fact, this test firing was completed by Salon. Salon was also unsure about this thing, especially after hearing the debugger sent by the institute say that if this thing is not operated properly, it will cause the rebar barrel to explode. There was probably no one alive within ten meters. Hearing such terrible consequences, Hundred Man Killer Salon felt chills in his heart.

"Don't die as a comrade as a poor fellow! This matter is no joke! With my clumsy body, it will be too late to hide even if I am afraid!"

Salon, who has always been a fat man, immediately decided to find an unlucky guy from the training staff to complete the task.

Salon thought to himself that the new recruits couldn't do this. Their psychological quality and adaptability were quite comparable. Although it was inevitable that someone would die, Salon didn't want to just let the inexperienced recruits die.

This matter must be done by those veterans who crawled out of the dead. They must be brave, careful, and clever enough. At this time, veteran Sark jumped out and actually dared to kick the Thor cannon in front of him. This made him think about it just now. Salon was shocked and delighted by who he was looking for.

"Boy, if you don't do this, I'll let you go, and I won't let you go either!"

Salon patted the sluggish Sak on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, this thing is very safe, but sometimes it will explode. As long as you run ten meters away after putting down the shell!"

"Ten meters away!" Sak was startled by Salon's words, and his face turned ugly. "I am a rabbit and I can't jump ten meters away in one go."

The military order was like a mountain. Sack looked at Salon's murderous one eye and knew that if he disobeyed, he would be executed immediately by Salon's order. He had to grimace and follow the debugger's instructions to open the bracket of the Thor Cannon.

Ten minutes later, a Thor cannon was quickly set up. Sack squatted with a frown on his face, turned the crank in his right hand, and set the scale on the small soil slope one thousand meters away according to the debugger's request. He turned his head I looked at the other people more than 20 meters away from me, feeling full of annoyance.

"If I had known this, it would be great if I stayed in the old squadron! At least I don't have to worry about being replaced by a bunch of new recruits as scapegoats!"

Sack's heart was beating unsatisfactorily, his hands were sweating nervously, and the hand holding the cannonball was so stiff that it seemed that it was not his own.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and reload! If you don't want to die, just let go and run away!" Salon's rough and urging voice sounded in Sack's ears.

"Damn it! Give it a go!" In a daze, Sack, who was used to receiving orders, subconsciously loosened his grip on the shell. There was a crisp sound of "crack" and the impact of the shell sliding down the bottom of the chamber, which almost made him escape. The one-meter veteran Sack was so frightened that he almost rolled to the ground. It seemed that the whole world collapsed at this moment, and he ran faster and faster under his feet.

"Crash!" There was a crisp sound of air waves, like a loud fart. Such a powerless performance was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Just now, the debugger asked everyone to hide 20 meters away. Could it be that To hide from such a thing?

"What's going on? Is it that simple?"

Veteran Sack had already run five or six meters when he suddenly felt a wave of air coming out of the steel pipe behind him. He lay on the ground in fright. After waiting for a while and realizing that nothing happened, he turned around in disbelief. , shouting excitedly looking at the barrel that didn’t explode.

"You all saw it. I didn't break it. It's just that this thing really doesn't work. You have to bear witness for me!"

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, everyone stood up with relief. Suddenly, a recruit pointed at the sky and shouted, "Look, there is something in the sky!"

Everyone raised their heads in confusion and saw a small black dot in the sky drawing a curve and falling towards the hillside in the distance.

"It's a cannonball! Sark, how did you throw the cannonball into the sky?" Sharp-eyed Salon recognized from the oval shape of the black dots that it was the cannonball that veteran Sark had just put into the barrel, with a look of surprise on his face. With his mouth wide open, he was puzzled as to how Sark could throw the cannonball into the air in front of so many people without anyone noticing, so he couldn't help asking.

"Littering military supplies at will is a serious crime in the army, don't you know?"

Sak himself was dumbfounded. Hearing Salon's accusation, his face was full of distress and he was about to cry without tears. He defended with a tearful tone.

"Lord Salon, it's really not me. From such a high height, even if I want to throw it, it still has to be able to throw it up!"

Under the attention of everyone, the black spot fell on a hillside a thousand meters away. After a few seconds, a huge explosion sound was made. The fire rolled up a large amount of soil and flew into the air. The mud and sand were flying all over the sky. Stones fell like raindrops. Salon trembled slightly as he stood on the ground.

The roar of the artillery frightened men like Salon, who were not afraid of death, to lie on the ground and did not dare to move. Some recruits were so frightened that they peed their pants. Only a few dozen people could stand without falling. Even the debugger himself It was also the first time I saw an explosion, and I collapsed on the ground with a pale face.
