Chapter 554: Chapter 491: Sun Flame Cannon, Nuke the Holy City! _2
This was also the reason they had not launched an attack on the Holy City; no one dared to guarantee that they could capture it!
“It’s just a city with taller walls and a larger size. Give us a few years, and any major city under the kingdom’s rule will be more prosperous than this Holy City!” Lynn shook his head.
Such a massive and magnificent city indeed caused astonishment in this otherworld, but it meant little to him.
The wizards present also recovered from the shock of the enormous city before them; no one questioned Lynn’s words, as everyone had witnessed the day-to-day transformations within the kingdom.
The kingdom had things that the church might not have. From this perspective, the Holy City was just a bit larger and taller, that’s all.
Moreover, after today, this Holy City would probably cease to exist!
While they were discussing, the kingdom’s legion had already arrived about two kilometers from the Holy City. The church had not sent anyone to block or meet them in battle along the way, clearly planning to hunker down and stay within the city.
“Since they won’t come out, then we will just break their shell!” Harrov said coldly.
The continuously advancing steel tide immediately split open, revealing hundreds of electromagnetic cannons behind, ready to first test the defensive strength of the Holy City.
Lynn had already conducted one experiment before, but since it was just an avatar, it didn’t last long before being directly killed by Ella’s avatar, with very limited information gathered.
One characteristic projectile after another was loaded into the cannon barrels under the control of the artillerymen, with the wizards making adjustments.
The next second, amidst a deafening sonic boom, hundreds of electromagnetic cannons fired simultaneously.
Countless characteristic projectiles streaked through the sky like meteors, directly covering half of the Holy City’s airspace, but they began to be deflected away about three hundred meters from the city.
Harrov and the others were not surprised by this, as the key lay in the second strike…
Hundreds of deflected characteristic projectiles exploded again. Under the powerful shockwaves produced by the explosions, the fragments of the projectiles flew in all directions at speeds exceeding two thousand meters per second.
Then came the second and third rounds of electromagnetic cannons, poised to fire.
The continuous sound of cannon fire echoed incessantly, lasting a full five minutes before the characteristic ammunition was completely used up, and finally stopped.
Rafael hurriedly looked towards the inside, then his face showed a trace of disappointment, because the towering city walls of the Holy City still stood in their way.
However, many wizards noticed that the city wall had more fine dents than before. Clearly, their attacks were not completely ineffective.
Lynn nodded; it was as he had guessed. The force field protecting the Holy City was not like a planetary gravity field that extended outward, but rather created a semicircular shield that bent space-time around three hundred meters from the Holy City, with a thickness of about ten meters. If they could break through this area, they could successfully launch an attack inside.
What they had just employed was the propulsion method.
First, firing an electromagnetic cannon into it, and at speeds dozens of times the speed of sound, even if the trajectory was deflected by the force field, it could still advance a certain distance, then aided by the second explosion’s force to advance further, followed by a third explosion…
By relying on such relays to breach the force field magic’s defense, Lynn provided the first solution.
Unfortunately, from practical combat, although it barely achieved the expected effect, after several explosions, its power was significantly reduced, as each explosion required sacrificing most of the mass, leaving only minor marks on the city wall in the end.
You see, the city wall still had the Divine Kingdom’s projection covering the entire city district as a second layer of defense.
“As expected, we still have to use my new creation!” Vittorio said, smiling, then had a five-meter-tall behemoth pushed forward.
It resembled a supersized electromagnetic railgun. Harrov and Aurora had naturally noticed this huge device earlier, but Vittorio had always been elusive, saying it wasn’t completed, and even on the way to attack the kingdom, he was still making adjustments to this prototype, unsure if it would function, which curbed their curiosity.
Now, Vittorio did not plan to hide it any longer, quite proudly introducing it to everyone.
“I call it the Sun Flame Cannon. As long as it has enough nuclear fuel, it can release ‘Doomsday – Atomic Breath’!”
Hearing this, Harrov’s eyes lit up, shocked that Vittorio could recreate this terrifying magic through alchemical means.
Don’t think that these legendary wizards could also cast “Doomsday – Atomic Breath,” even without needing nuclear fuel.
The troublesome part is that their magic power and energy reserves are limited. Casting this magic almost consumes more than seventy percent of their magic power, which means that once they use it, their strength in the ensuing battle would be greatly reduced.
Lynn was also somewhat surprised. Indeed, Vittorio deserved the title of “Magic Creator,” a legendary Alchemist. In such a short time, he had crafted such a heavyweight device based on the magic model he had provided.
