Struggle in the Steam Age

"Hiss, this is really troublesome." Yagoda noticed the expression on Lawrence's face opposite him and turned his head to look behind him. As a result, they were surprised to find that a huge barrier glowing with sky-blue light rose in the direction of the palace, which looked like a soap bubble magnified countless times.

"Why bother?" Lawrence first sprinkled some potion on his wound to promote its healing, and then asked while tidying up the potion in his hand, "I think this magic barrier is very powerful, look at those The shells just can't hit what's behind the barrier."

"It is indeed impossible for ordinary shells to penetrate the magic barrier, but the problem is that after the magic barrier rises, the high-level spellcasters of the rebel army can lock the magic a little bit according to the reaction of the magic barrier after being attacked by ordinary shells. The magic power points and magic power circuits on the barrier are targeted to destroy them, so this kind of magic barrier can last for a few hours if there is no high-level spellcaster to preside over the countermeasures." Yagoda looked He explained to Lawrence that his wound was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"After all, the palace was attacked suddenly this time. I guess there are not enough spellcasters inside to cover up when the opponent's spellcasters are investigating. Otherwise, it is impossible for those artillery to be fired for so long without being attacked by the one in the palace. All the magic towers of the royal family counterattack."

On this point, Yagoda's guess was not accurate. In fact, there were several high-ranking spellcasters belonging to the royal family secretly in the palace as the last resort of the royal family. But because the emperor is now in a coma, these spellcasters are doing their best to lift the curse on the members of the royal family, and they can't spare any manpower to adjust the protective shield. They can only rely on the tower spirit of the magic tower to automatically meet them.

However, because the news of His Majesty's coma must be strictly sealed, outsiders at this time just think that it is probably because the reinforcements from the Magic Association failed to enter the palace to strengthen the magic tower in the palace.

As for the reason why the Magic Association did not move, it is also very simple. After all, this rebellion is different from the attack on the capital by those wilderness races, at least according to the public information. It is a coup within the country. Therefore, as a supranational organization, the Mage Association can only remain neutral on this matter. Similarly, these situations also apply to various churches in the capital.

But this does not mean that those churches or organizations of extraordinary powers did nothing. After experiencing the initial panic, they invariably established a large number of temporary protection areas near their residences to shelter ordinary people who escaped from the chaos of war. And those rebels who were looting everywhere also consciously stopped near those protected areas, because they knew that the superhumans of those organizations were not something they could deal with.

Not to mention that many paladins of the church will attack around the church at this time, beheading those rebellious soldiers who are doing evil near the church. So these rebels would naturally try to stay away from those churches or places like the Demon Hunters Guild.

Of course, this is a good thing. It can allow more innocent citizens to avoid the harm caused by this chaos as much as possible, and minimize the loss of life and property.

The only exception is the tribunal where Lawrence is now, who was besieged by a large group of rebels because they had evidence that the rebellious second prince used some forbidden magic and was likely to collude with evil forces, hoping to erase those who belonged to the second prince. An obstacle on the way for the prince to ascend to the throne.

"Hey! What are you going to do now?" Amidst the sound of shells, Lawrence bandaged the newly injured man's wound with his hands extremely steady, and in a blink of an eye he saw Yagoda standing up next to him, so he quickly reached out and pressed his shoulder Let him sit down. "Your wounds haven't healed yet."

The magic potion that Lawrence applied to his wound just now worked very well, but because the wound was a bit too deep, there is only a scar on the surface that has completely stopped the bleeding. Normal walking should be fine. But if you try to fight, the wound will open quickly.

This potion was bought from Fatina's grandfather before. It is a kind of secret medicine unique to the Ratman, and it is very effective for this kind of wound that does not involve the extraordinary power of Han. But on the other hand, if the user does not have extraordinary strength, this magic potion may cause excessive growth in the wound, so it is not suitable for ordinary people to use.

"I'm going to sign up for the next assault now, and I can't let the artillery continue to shoot so recklessly." Yagoda sat down after talking about Lawrence's words, and then said, "Your potions are really powerful, I still have I thought my wound was healed."

"I got it from the Ratmen. Basically, they only sell it to friends from their own tribe and foreigners. So basically you can't find such a good thing on the market." Lawrence briefly explained and continued. topic asked. "You just said you were going to destroy the enemy's artillery positions. What happened?"

"After all, we have more than enough defense now, so we should also consider the overall situation." Yagoda said in a low voice after checking that there were no other people nearby. "The enemies who besieged us cut off the telegraph wires we used for external emergency communication and used some kind of high-level magic props to hinder our external communication, but before the external communication was completely cut off, we got the judge of the personnel in the palace. Important information to send out."

"He told us that this rebellion was a hasty rebellion, and the second prince didn't seem to be fully prepared. Therefore, this rebellion is impossible to succeed. We just need to persist until the daytime and the rebellion will naturally be suppressed."

The judges in the palace naturally knew that the emperor only needed to wait 12 hours before dawn to wake up, and then came forward to disintegrate the rebels and quell the rebellion. But because he couldn't reveal the current state of the emperor's coma, he could only inform the headquarters of the current situation through such vague and vague sentences.

"How far is the opponent's artillery position that bombarded the palace from here?" Lawrence frowned and asked. After all, many extraordinary people can easily shoot targets one or two kilometers away with bows and arrows or muskets. At this time, they will not attack the artillery. The position looks a little strange.

"That artillery position is five or six hundred meters away from us." Yagoda, as the commando member who led the team trying to take down the artillery position just now, knows these things well, so he pointed to a dark mass in the distance Speaking of. "But the problem is that the artillery position is set up in a residential area over there."

"Residential area? What's so special about that?" As a person who has only lived here for three days, he has no idea about the layout of the surrounding environment at all.

Yagoda also reacted when he heard what Lawrence asked, and he quickly explained: "The residential area is a closed area surrounded by several buildings, and the artillery positions are set in the small garden in the center of the building. The hole that came out was shot directly in the direction of the palace. Our commandos had no way of breaking through the siege of the enemy defenders hiding in the room."

"Are you saying that the opponent's artillery position is set up in a circle of buildings?" Lawrence asked again. At this time, he remembered the boxes he packed into the astral plane before he set off.

"Not all of them, but the two most important 203mm heavy guns and six 155mm heavy guns of the rebel army are all set in the small garden in that building."

"If this is the case, I think I have a way to knock out those damn artillery." Lawrence said to Yagoda after thinking for a while. "Before I came, I brought some new weapons that I prepared. I think their effects are very good in the face of this situation."
