The Last Alchemist

"Woo~~~Woo~~~~"

While Rosen and others were having dinner, a deep horn sound came from outside the window.

Rosen was stunned for a moment, then gnawed clean the chicken legs in his hand, quickly wiped the grease on his hands, and then grasped the handle of the big spiral spray gun: "The robbers are finally here!"

‘Click~’

Annie took out the steel crossbow, the most powerful weapon she owned.

Rosen turned to Mary and said, "Sister Mary, you and little Alice stay in the room. The door is locked and the candles are out. Don't make a sound. Don't open the door to anyone."

"Yeah." Mary nodded nervously.

Rosen came to little Alice again, reached out and gently touched the little girl's cheek, and asked softly: "Are you scared?"

Little Alice shook her head, her big eyes shining: "Brother will protect me."

Rosen smiled slightly, reached out and patted little Alice's hair, then turned to Anne and said, "Let's go to the stone wall of the Baron's Mansion."

Soon, the two of them arrived at the stone wall corridor of the Baron's Mansion.

From here, you have a commanding view of Sunderland's east gate.

Because it was night, a large number of bonfires had been lit at the east gate. Rosen knew that at least 90% of the entire Sunderland town's troops were gathered there, and the baron was also there.

Among these defense forces, there are nearly 270 guards at the Baron Mansion. They are well-equipped and well-trained and are the absolute main force.

In addition to the guards, hunters and strong farmers were also temporarily recruited. There were about seven or eight hundred people in the army. Some of them took the simplest weapons, and some simply took farm tools to help protect Sunderland.

Outside the wooden bridge at the east gate is a large area of ​​farmland, and more than two miles beyond the farmland is a large area of ​​mountain forest. At this time, dots of fire appeared on the edge of the forest, and they lined up like a fire dragon filing out of the forest.

About 10 minutes later, the fire dragon stopped in a row on the farmland about 300 meters away from the wooden wall of the east gate of Sunderland Town.

This distance is beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows, and it is also the maximum throwing distance of Rosen's simple catapult. At this distance, Rosen has actually already thrown the bomb, but it is a little unsafe and it is easy to make mistakes.

Just in case, he planned to wait until the other party got closer before talking.

He continued to observe the situation on the farmland.

Judging from the number of torches, the number of robbers was about 900, which was not much different from the rumors.

Because it was night, Rosen couldn't see the situation clearly on the farmland. He wondered: "Why don't they attack directly?"

Anne's eyesight was astonishing and she could see the situation on the farmland clearly. She frowned: "The situation is not quite right. Two groups of people pushed out two large catapults from the forest!"

"Catapult" Rosen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "It must have been Diaz. Those robbers and reckless men couldn't build this thing!"

Anne nodded slightly: "It must be him. Looking from the outside of the catapult, it is the long-arm trebuchet that Nerogard Academy is best at. This thing can throw boulders of hundreds of kilograms more than a mile away. The pine trees outside Sunderland The wall can't stop the bombardment of the boulders!"

Rosen sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill Diaz that day."

But then he felt something was wrong: "Although the trebuchets are very powerful, Sunderland's strongest defense is the river outside the slope. Even if the wooden wall is smashed, doesn't it still have to cross the river to attack Sunderland? As long as the Baron If the wooden bridge is closed, can he throw people directly into Sunderland? "

Spending so much effort to build two flashy trebuchets would not look like a bandit's fighting style.

As soon as he finished speaking, Anne exclaimed: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Rosen was startled.

"Those robbers threw fireballs with trebuchets"

Before she could finish her words, two bright fireballs rose up from the farmland one after another. They drew two beautiful lines of fire in the sky and hit the town of Sunderland one after the other.

"Hoo~~ho~~~"

After the fireball landed, the flames flowed in all directions like water, and within a few seconds, a wooden house was ignited.

"Ah~~~Ah~~~~"

There were shrill screams in the town of Sunderland, and Rosen could vaguely see several people who were ignited by the flames rushing out of the lit wooden house. They rolled crazily on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Many people nearby began to fetch water to put out the fire, but the scary thing was that when the water was poured on the flames, instead of extinguishing the flames, they burned even more fiercely.

"It's kerosene!" Annie exclaimed.

Rosen's pupils shrank: "What a fire attack!"

We couldn't wait any longer. If we allowed the opponent's two catapults to attack, the town of Sunderland would soon be engulfed in flames.

Rosen turned towards his simple trebuchet and said to Annie: "Get ready to attack!"

"good!"

When he arrived at the trebuchet, Rosen took out the disk, scale, and parchment. The parchment recorded the experimental records during the day. He first quickly looked through the experimental records, and at the same time instructed Annie to adjust the angle of the trebuchet based on the experimental records.

Just as Rosen was setting up the trebuchet, a second round of fireballs appeared on the farmland.

Two fireballs flew up one after another, and one of them landed in the river. The surface of the river suddenly burst into flames. The second fireball accurately landed on the wooden wall of Sunderland's east gate, and the wooden wall immediately burst into flames.

At least a dozen soldiers' bodies were set on fire. The surrounding soldiers retreated far away for fear of being affected by the terrible flames. They watched helplessly as the wooden wall fell into the sea of ​​flames.

Baron Draco was horrified to see it. He waved his war hammer and shouted: "Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire! Use earth to put out the fire!"

He had participated in the Empire's Northern Expedition, had seen the power of kerosene, and knew the correct countermeasures. In fact, he was the only one in town who knew how to deal with it.

The townspeople in Sunderland had already been organized. After hearing the baron's order, the townspeople quickly dug up the soil and threw it on the flames.

The method was effective, but due to lack of preparation in advance, the efficiency of transporting soil was too low. When the flames were finally extinguished, Sunderland's East Gate had been burned down and had no defense function.

"Hoo~ho~" The third wave of fireballs arrived and landed in the wooden houses in the town, igniting more wooden houses.

Flames raged everywhere, and screams and screams became more frequent in the town.

Baron Draco's heart was beating wildly when he saw it, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart: 'The opponent is well prepared, and there is a magician to help, I'm afraid...'

Before he could finish his thoughts, another shrill wolf howl came from outside the town of Sunderland.

"Roar~~~~~woo~~~~~"

The voice is powerful and penetrating, and it directly breaks the courage of most people.

"Werewolf! It's a werewolf!"

"Ah~~They are coming towards us!"

"Oh my god, it's so fast!"

"God! Save us!"

Baron Draco looked towards the farmland outside the town. Because of the darkness, he could only see clearly the torch in the robber's hand. Faintly, he could see a dozen pairs of pupils emitting dark green light, and they were approaching at a terrifying speed. Sunderland Town.

With the speed of these werewolves, the river less than 10 meters wide outside the east gate cannot stop them at all. They can jump directly into the town.

Once the werewolves wreak havoc in the town, Sunderland will really be finished.

"Rush~Rush~"

The bandits in the farmland also began to charge. In the dark night, the torches in the hands of the bandits were connected together, as if there was a god of destruction who controlled the fire outside the town.

"Help~Help~"

"Run away~The werewolf is coming~"

"Mom~Mom~"

Before the battle even started, the morale of the soldiers at the east gate collapsed. The hunters and strong men ignored the obstruction of the baron's guards and ran towards the rear, shouting in pain.

Baron Draco was also stunned, as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "Is it over? Is it over?"

If it were just a bandit group, a single werewolf, or a single magician, he would not pay attention to it, but once these three are combined, they form an irresistible force.

Morale had collapsed, and the wooden wall of the east gate had been burned to ashes. The baron could not think of any way to change the situation of the battle.

He stood in the chaotic crowd. After hesitating for a few seconds, he shouted: "Guards, retreat! Retreat! Retreat to the Baron's Palace!"

The outskirts of Sunland Town cannot be defended. If he still wants to survive, he can only rely on the stone walls around the Baron's Mansion to block the werewolf's offensive. This is the only way at the moment.

Unfortunately, this method could not change the situation of the war and could only delay the defeat, but Baron Draco had no choice.

After hearing the order, the baron's guards all withdrew towards the baron's palace.

At this time, in the baron's palace, Rosen determined the final projection angle.

He glanced at the torches flowing in the farmland, picked up the disc and scale in his hand, quickly compared them, determined the target's moving speed, and then slightly adjusted the projection angle, leaving some advance. Then, he held out an iron ball 20 centimeters in diameter, filled with passivated nitroglycerin and a percussion fuse.

‘Click~’ The iron ball is placed on the spoon.

‘Click~’ Rosen gently pulled the long-handled iron button and said silently in his heart: ‘May God protect Sunderland. ’

"Collapse~~"

The spoon quickly bounced back to its original position, throwing a black iron ball far away to the farmland in the distance.

After looking at the flight path, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief: 'No mistakes. It's done! ’

‘Hoo~’

The iron ball was flying rapidly in the air.

Rosen stood on the stone wall of the Baron Mansion, thinking silently: 'The projectile distance is 687 meters, the height difference is 70 meters, the projectile angle is 41 degrees, and the flight time is about 6 seconds. 3, 2, 1 bang~~'

The moment the silent recitation was completed, a dazzling white light flashed violently on the farmland outside the town.

"Boom, boom, boom~~"

Terrifying loud noises spread across the sky, and where the robbers were most concentrated, flames like hills rose into the sky.

At this moment, the night turns into day!

At this moment, the earth is shaking!

At this moment, flames flowed freely on the farmland like a tide, and the steel fragments turned into death scythes, harvesting lives in patches. All ambitions and greed were crushed into powder by the absolute power.

The real god of destruction has come to earth.
