Chapter 735: They’re crazy, they’re using thorium as bombs

Mondra was a bit confused, and in fact, Duke Yingsi and the Archbishop were also confused. The soldiers of Mondra, who stood on the wall of the Capital of Saints, all looked puzzled.

The experienced generals could roughly estimate the distance when they heard the sound of the cannon just now. The firing position was behind West Gran’s army, at least two miles away from the wall.

This distance was too far!

What kind of cannon could shoot that far?

Short cannons can actually shoot that far, but no one thinks it’s anything special. This is because the solid iron bullets fired by short cannons have very limited lethality, at most they can only bombard the city walls. Moreover, most of the short cannons are either flat-fired or have a slight parabolic arc, so would they shoot their own soldiers if they were mounted behind their own army?

Mondra looked up at the sky and could hear the whistle of the shells but couldn’t see them. This was not a good feeling.

Then came a “Biu” sound from far to near, and then, “Boom”, a section of the wall far away exploded!

It was a standard explosion spell!

This is a spell with an extremely short range. In the magical world, there is a big rule that the more troublesome the spell is to cast with a shorter range, the greater its power. The spells that are easier to cast with a longer range usually have weaker power.

Explosion spells belong to the type that is very troublesome and has a short range. Therefore, their power is almost the greatest among spells of the same level.

Flame magic splashed behind the wall, and countless sparks flew in all directions, and the huge heat spread in all directions, and red light particles drifted. The soldiers standing near the explosion point were the first to bear the brunt, and they were shaken by the explosion and flew out, falling tens of yards away.

Mondra couldn’t help but say, “Huh? Explosion spell?”

How did this short-range magic get thrown into our city? Is there a spy in the city?

However, as soon as he thought of this, he immediately understood that it was not a spy who threw the explosion spell, but the shell that flew in with a sharp whistle from the sky.

Mondra was shocked, “They didn’t fire solid shells, but magical projectiles like landmines.”

Yingsi next to him was startled, “This is impossible!”

As soon as he spoke, he heard another “Biu” sound from far to near, followed by a “Boom” sound. Far away, behind the city wall, it exploded again, and the same explosion spell once again blasted a large group of soldiers behind the city wall in all directions.

“Damn, what kind of bullshit technology is this?” Mondra was furious, “Why can they shoot magical projectiles? Won’t these hollow magical projectiles be destroyed by the shock at the moment of firing?”

He was swearing in anger when he suddenly noticed something strange. The soldiers who were blown away by the explosion were one thing, but the ones who had not been hit by the explosive in the center of the explosion were now falling down one by one.

He couldn’t help but wonder, “What happened? They weren’t hit by the explosion, so why are they falling?”

A nearby soldier rushed forward and looked closely at the soldier lying on the ground where the explosion had just occurred. He then looked up and shouted, “Your Majesty, they were killed by sharp objects piercing their bodies.”

“Hmm?” Mondra was surprised, “What sharp objects?”

“They went through their bodies!” The soldier determined the direction in which the object that killed him flew by looking at the blood hole in the corpse, followed the direction, and found a hole in the wall of a nearby house. Then he went into the house and saw that all the furniture had a hole drilled in it.

The soldier broke out in a cold sweat, following the holes in the furniture one by one, and found another hole in the other wall. This thing actually flew out after piercing through a soldier, then through a wall, countless pieces of furniture, another wall, and then flew out again. What the hell was this thing? How sharp did it have to be?

The soldier followed the holes as if he were crazy…

As the soldier searched along the small hole, there was a constant sound of Biu, Biu, Biu in the sky. The sound of bombs flying through the air, one after another, and each bomb would explode into a brilliant spark, throwing soldiers around the explosion point, while soldiers further away were knocked down by invisible shrapnel, falling down one after another.

Mondra shouted, “Raise your shields high and block the bombs with them. Let’s see what kind of thing is hurting people.”

He had just shouted when there was another Biu in the sky!

Boom!

A bomb exploded in the distance, and a nearby knight reacted quickly, raising his shield facing the direction of the bomb. Some even activated their combat skills and used “Shield Wall”.

However, the shield was useless. After the bomb exploded, the knight holding the shield suddenly swayed, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly fell down. There were also several holes in his shield.

Mondra was shocked, “The shield couldn’t stop it? What the hell is this thing?”

“I… I stopped it,” a warrior who had used Shield Wall shouted excitedly, “Your Majesty, I stopped it.”

He pulled a small piece of metal from his shield, held it up, and ran back to Mondra, shouting, “They were killed by this thing. It was mixed in with the bombs.”

Mondra looked at the metal piece and his face suddenly changed, “Thorium!”

The Archbishop next to him took a glance and couldn’t help but change his face, “West Gran is using thorium bombs? They’re insane.”

“This bomb is unstoppable!” Mondra understood now that ordinary armor couldn’t stop it, and ordinary soldiers couldn’t use the powerful technique of “shield wall” to block it. Only powerful defensive warriors could use a shield wall to block these thorium bombs. But… where would he get so many defensive warriors in his army?

“Be careful with this bomb!” Mondra shouted loudly. As soon as his voice fell, with a loud bang, a bomb exploded not far from him, and a huge explosion of flames rushed towards him. Mondra immediately opened a flame cloak, and the power of the explosion hit his cloak but didn’t harm him.

Several of his guards next to him also held up their shields and opened a “shield wall.” There was a dense sound of “pupupupu”, and several thorium shrapnel pieces pierced the shields of the guards, making their wrists numb. Because the shields only protected the upper body, a guard was hit in the leg by a shrapnel piece, and he groaned and fell to the ground.

Mondra, Yingsi, and the Archbishop had guards to protect them, so they survived, but the miscellaneous soldiers and low-level officers around them fell in a pile.
