To be honest, Archimonde looked down on the combat power of the Scourge Legion.
In the eyes of the commander of the Burning Legion, zombies and ghouls were broken toys that weren't even as good as dolls.
However, Reggie Winterfrost persuaded Archimonde with a reason. "Honorable Sir, the humans and orcs defending Mount Hyjal are as weak as these zombies. If Sir goes down personally, you probably won't enjoy the battle. "
Archimonde had never been afraid of god-like enemies.
Back when Sargeras recruited him and Kil 'jaeden, it was the Creation Titans of the Pantheon who fought head-on.
So when he heard that the opponent was weak, Archimonde hesitated. That was because many of the demon legions had been pulled to the outer defense circle of Azeroth by Kil 'jaeden to attract the Dragon Aspect. He didn't have many direct demons on his side.
With that in mind, he agreed.
"Reggie, I'll leave the task of cleaning up the trash to you. Don't call me before the enemy powerhouse comes out. "
But now, Reggie Winterfrost felt that he might have let him down.
That was because he and his men were going to face the most insane cannon of this era.
Before Duque was sent flying into the void, Duque had proposed the theory of rifling to the dwarves and gnomes. Only by adding rifling to the barrel of the cannon could the cannonball have a stable trajectory, and the cannonball that was fired could be controlled.
Otherwise, in this era where muzzle-loading cannons were rampant, even the best gunner wouldn't be able to predict where the cannonball would land after it had flown two kilometers. A gunner with an error of 100 meters was already considered a god-like gunner.
In Duque's opinion, without sufficient industrial foundation, it would be impossible to cast a cannon that could fire a cannonball five kilometers away. After all, this involved a lot of things such as steel quality, lathe accuracy, and a series of things that were considered black technology in this era.
The funny thing was that Duque had once again underestimated the abilities of the dwarves and gnomes.
The gnomes never lacked ideas, but they lacked reliable ideas.
Duque's successful experience on Earth had been proven and refined countless times. To the gnomes, this was simply the will of God. In the eyes of Gerbin and other master craftsmen, Duque could find the path to success without failure. Duque was the true god of craftsmanship.
Since it was the work of God, how could the gnomes not complete it with their lives?
Maybe one day, Duque would be in a good mood and suddenly think of how to clean the radiation in the gnomes' hometown, Gnomes would be saved.
So, the quality of the steel would explode?
Then I'll just make the barrel thicker and bigger, will that do?
Would it explode after a few shots?
My worst-case scenario is that the barrel would only be used once?
You want high-precision rifling?
Look at my Gnome Godly Technique — — Tie a rope to the cannon's chamber and carve out a perfect rifling with my bare hands using a hammer and chisel.
The result was the 36 [Lesser Duke Cannons] that were placed on Azshara's beach.
The diameter of the barrel was 800 millimeters, and it was 10 meters long. When the cannon was unfolded and fixed, it was 28 meters long, 5 meters tall, and weighed 288 tons when it was in combat mode.
It sounded like the caliber was much smaller than the "small steel cannon" that sent countless orcs to hell during the Battle of Blackrock Mountain 13 years ago.
But if one considered that the range of the [Little Duque Cannon] was more than four times that of the "small steel cannon", with a maximum range of more than 10 kilometers, any commander with a brain would know that the military value of the [Little Duque Cannon] was an epoch-making product.
If it wasn't for the equally unscrupulous Mage Dalaran who had developed the upgraded military magic [Defensive Cannon Shell] specifically for the Mage Tower in the past ten years, using [Defensive Arrow] as the blueprint, perhaps the Gnomes would have had the strength to conquer the world.
But I digressed.
Such a huge object had encountered great difficulties in assembling, transporting, and shooting tests. But in order to save the world, the gnome craftsmen had assembled 36 [Little Duque Cannons] within three days.
When a shell weighed more than three tons, and the dwarven secret chamber guards had to use [Avatar] to turn into small giants to load the shell, one could imagine how powerful the explosion would be!
The huge floating island, which was already at the edge of the beach, produced an endless and terrible storm.
First, there was a strong explosion that shook the mountains. At the front edge of the floating island, not to mention the zombies at the landing point, even the thinner edges of the island were directly blown up, causing the terrifying effect of the island sinking.
Everything within the range of the shell disintegrated. Whether it was an elite ghoul with a body as hard as steel, a gargoyle made of solid obsidian, or a bone dragon with incomparably thick bones, they all turned into countless pieces like butterflies in a storm.
The cannonball exploded and sputtered metal shrapnel, easily shredding all the nearby existences into pieces.
Even the zombies three hundred meters away were blown away. Even the undead monster [Abomination], which weighed more than five tons and was sewn together from a large number of corpses, was blown away by the strong wind and rolled to who knows where.
"What's going on?! Who can tell me what's going on? "Recky Wintry was furious in the Soul Connection Network.
"It seems to be a human cannon," a low-level Lich replied.
"Bullsh * t! Of course I know about cannons. How can they shoot so far! "
Under such a terrible attack, even the Calamity Army, which was claimed to have absolutely no problem with morale, could not help but fall into chaos.
Five minutes passed quickly.
The sky was filled with that terrible whistling sound again.
This time, Recky Wintry chose to let the Liches cast a spell and set up a huge magic barrier.
The next moment, the power of science and industry collided with the mysterious power of magic that had nothing to do with each other in the air. At that moment, the entire eastern sky flashed with the brilliance of magic —
The Frost Element and Dark Force formed a dense array of runes in the sky that emitted an evil spiritual light. These runes formed a huge shield, resisting the kinetic energy of the huge shell.
Originally, this overlapping grayish-black shield seemed to be able to resist these shells. However, when the first shell was detonated by magic in mid-air, the entire magic shield suddenly cracked. Countless magic runes exploded in mid-air, and this destruction immediately spread in all directions.
The protective shield, which was constructed with the magic power of Recchi Winterfrost and the other liches, could only withstand 12 super cannonballs before collapsing.
As a result, 24 shells fell closer to the center of the island. It was as if there was a moment of delay before the destructive shock wave swept across the entire front of the island.
