Liu Kaide looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but feel relieved. The academy had decided to send him the Shadow Cannon. Liu Kaide put down the letter and immediately rushed towards the transmission formation.
Just as he arrived at the teleportation formation, a white light flashed. Then a big iron guy appeared in the teleportation formation. This big iron guy was about two meters tall. Below it was a square pedestal. On top of it was a disc. In the middle of the disc was a meter long iron rod. It looked like a Star Fall Receiver.
Upon seeing this metal object, Liu Kaide couldn't help but let out a long breath. Then he turned his head to the officer beside him and said, "Immediately organize people to send it to the city walls. Remember, the iron rod needs to be pointed towards Zhao Hai's camp."
The officer looked at the metal object in confusion, then he asked Liu Kaide, "General, what is this thing?"
Liu Kaide replied, "This is a weapon made from the notes left behind by the Holy Court and the Heavenly Sword Empire. It's power is very great, much greater than a ballista. Go, have someone send it to the city walls."
The officer immediately complied. Then he commanded people to send the metal object to the city walls. This situation was immediately seen by Liu Hong who was monitoring the city. Liu Hong immediately reported this to Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai heard Liu Hong, he immediately went outside the camp and looked at Southern Remnant City's walls. At this time, the Shadow Cannons had already been transported to the walls.
Zhao Hai looked at the Shadow Cannon and couldn't help but be moved. This thing looked like the cannon that he made in the past. Moreover, the two sides were currently in a war. It was impossible for the Holy Dynasty to send something useless to the city walls. It seems like this thing must be very useful.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment before he returned to the camp. Then he called everyone to the command tent. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Everyone should know that the Holy Academy has placed something on the city walls. I just took a look at it, it's very likely to be an artifact. Moreover, it's a long-range artifact. I estimate that its might wouldn't be small. It might be something that was passed down from the Heavenly Sword Empire. So when we attack tomorrow, everyone must be careful. Everyone, activate your formations. As for the Lightning Formation Team, don't move out yet. Let's wait until we know what it is before we move out."
Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation. Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation first. Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation first. Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation first. Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation. Don't activate the Lightning Array Formation first. "Everyone nodded. They also knew that the things passed down from the Heavenly Sword Empire were all good things.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, besides the Lightning Array Formation team, everyone else will attack according to the original plan. Go and prepare." Everyone nodded before they turned around and left.
Zhao Hai sat in the tent while thinking about the shadow cannon. Although he didn't know the name of the shadow cannon, he could roughly guess what it was. This was because he had used it before, so he could roughly guess what it was.
However, Zhao Hai still didn't know how powerful the Shadow Cannon was. Therefore, tomorrow's attack would be just a test.
The next morning, after eating breakfast, the siege began again. Zhao Hai and the others were still proceeding step by step. Ballistas, catapults, siege towers, cloud towers, and other siege tools were all prepared. Then the attacking troops pushed the ballistas forward. Once they were in position, the ballistas would fire.
At this time, Liu Kaide was standing on top of the wall. He looked at Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation. Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation was very different from the Lightning Array Formation. The Lightning Array Formation's Ballista Formation was fixed, making it very troublesome to move. On the other hand, Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation was installed on the carriage. Because of this, they only needed to push the carriage to the designated location. This was much more convenient than having people carry it.
Naturally, this convenience wouldn't be displayed during the siege. But during the operation, the Ballista Formation's Ballista Formation was very bulky. When moving, one would need to use a large carriage to carry it. Moreover, the Ballista Formation had to be broken off. This was simply a burden for the army.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation's Ballista Formation was different. These Ballista Formations could be directly pulled by horses. This was much more convenient than the Lightning Array Formation's Ballista Formation.
Upon seeing this, Liu Kaide couldn't help but sigh. From the Ballista Formation, one could see that Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation was much better than the Sacred Institute. While the Sacred Institute's army was still using bulky ballistas, Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation had already started to use lighter carriages. The Sacred Institute was already falling behind.
Falling behind? If the other Sacred Institutes were to hear this, they would certainly find it laughable. When had the Sacred Institute ever fallen behind? The Sacred Institute had always been ahead of the entire Spiritual Weapon World. This was because they had a lot of information left behind by the Heavenly Sword Empire. How could they fall behind?
However, Liu Kaide felt that the Sacred Institute was falling behind. They were a lot behind Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation, Barrier Formation, and Lightning Formation. These things could be mass produced by Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation. However, the Sacred Institute still didn't have anything that could be used. Although the Shadow Cannon was very good, its size was too big. It was inconvenient to move. It could be used to defend a city, but if it was used to attack, it would be a burden.
Zhao Hai's arrows were like dark clouds that covered the sky. However, Liu Kaide wasn't worried at all. These arrows had already reached the limit of their range. It was impossible for them to pose any threat to him. If he couldn't block these arrows, then he would have lived in vain.
The general next to him didn't care about the arrows, he opened his mouth and said, "General, this is just Zhao's first wave of attack. After they suppress us, they will push the catapults up and attack. Then they will use the catapults to attack. Finally, they will attack the city walls." The general nodded and said, "What do you mean by 'Zhao's' attack?"
Liu Kaide nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, pass down the order. Get all the Shadow Cannons ready and aim at the enemy's Ballista Formation. First, let's fire together. Do you all remember what I taught you yesterday?"
The Commander immediately replied, "We remember it. Rest assured, General." Liu Kaide nodded, then he waved his hand. The Commander cupped his fist towards Liu Kaide before he turned around and said, "Prepare the Shadow Cannons. Adjust the angle."
The Shadow Cannons can also be adjusted. However, the range of the angle was very small. It can only be adjusted up and down by a small margin. In the process of adjusting, it was even inferior to Zhao Hai's Ballista Formation.
However, the people who used the Shadow Cannons were very proficient with the Ballista Formation. Although this was their first time using the Shadow Cannons, they had to admit that the Shadow Cannons were much easier to use compared to the Ballista Formation.
After adjusting the angle, the Commander said, "Alright, get ready, fire!" Along with his command, one of the Shadow Cannons' users immediately poured their energy into the Shadow Cannons. As soon as their energy was poured in, the Shadow Cannons began to emit a black light. Finally, the black light concentrated on the Shadow Cannons. Then a ball of black light shot out from the Shadow Cannons.
Unlike the ballista's arrows, which were parabolic, Hei Guang's balls of light were straight and very fast.
While the Shadow Cannons were being fired, Zhao Hai was standing on a high platform at the entrance of the camp, looking at the situation in Nanyu City. He knew that the other side would use this weapon. He just wanted to know how powerful it was.
Seeing the other side firing, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but shine. The Shadow Cannons flashed and arrived in front of the Ballista Formation. Then it exploded a few dozen meters away from the Ballista Formation. After the explosion, Zhao Hai felt the formation explode. Then the Shadow Cannons hit the Ballista Formation. The Shadow Cannons hit the Ballista Formation. The Shadow Cannons didn't even let out a groan as they fell to the ground. Zhao Hai didn't need to look at the Shadow Cannons to know that the Shadow Cannons were dead.
Zhao Hai discovered that the enemy's Formation Cannons seemed to have a certain amount of Darkness Attribute energy. And this Darkness Attribute energy could directly affect a person's soul. Naturally, it didn't affect a person's Origin Weapon. But even so, it was enough to kill a person.
Moreover, this energy was very strong. According to Zhao's plan, this energy was a lot stronger than the lightning formation. If the energy emitted by the lightning formation was one, then the energy emitted by the cannon would be seven to eight, which was nearly ten times the difference.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath, then he said, "Beat the gong, withdraw the troops." The messenger beside him immediately passed down the order. Soon after, the sound of a gong could be heard from the formation. The soldiers who were attacking the city slowly retreated to the main camp. They didn't give Liu Kaide and the others a second chance to fire.
Liu Kaide and the others didn't fire a second time. This was mainly because the process of reloading the shadow cannon was too slow. They needed to take out the bone beads first and then put in new ones before firing. But the place where the bone beads were placed was very problematic. It was under the base, making it very difficult to reload the bone beads.
Liu Kaide also noticed that the formation of Zhao Hai's army seemed to have lost its function. He was very clear that firing the Shadow Cannons at this time would certainly cause a lot of casualties to Zhao Hai's army. But because of the problem of reloading, they could only watch as Zhao Hai's army retreated back to their camp. This made Liu Kaide so angry that he kicked the wall in front of him. Then he turned around and returned to his room.
