Chapter 1341

"Heavy crossbows ready to fire, to guard against the enemy's covering arrow barrage."

"Yes, acknowledged."

The soldiers hurried off, and behind the military camp five heavy crossbows were primed and ready to fire at any moment.

With the coverage area of these five crossbows, it was enough to counter the enemy's Wan Jianqi.

"Trebuchets, prepare to launch."

"Ready!"

Lord Xuan Wuji and the others were near the trebuchets, and soon the news that the soldiers had finished preparations arrived. As an eighth-rank powerhouse with excellent eyesight, and being at a high vantage point, he naturally had an unobstructed view of the battlefield, his face solemn as he waited for the best opportunity.

"Almost!"

"Any moment now!"

The Holy Kingdom's cavalry was about to arrive, and in the dark of night they could hardly tell what had appeared ahead.

Behind them were spearmen and archers, as well as the mage corps.

The trebuchets' attack range had to prioritize striking the mages first; the tragedy of Colin Fortress, the intelligence Yan Liu had exchanged his life for, the secret of the enemy's mobile magic crystal cannon was nothing more than this.

The timing was about right.

"Trebuchets! Launch!"

At the command, the soldiers pulled down the levers one after another.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

In an instant, the trebuchets began hurling one specially made clay incendiary stone bomb after another.

Like red meteors, they streaked across the sky one after another, landing with precision among the ranks of the archers and mage corps.

Boom!

The moment they hit the ground, three or four unlucky souls were smashed to death, and the ensuing explosions left the surrounding mages and archers in despair—the blast's shockwave and the splattering burning rock fragments.
