I'm a Missile Launcher: The Unfortunate Jiang Lineage Army
This is a heavy crossbow, practically a handheld crossbow cannon!
Item: Black Iron Heavy Mountain Crossbow Rank: Blue Excellent Type: Weapon Effect: Accuracy +25%, Maximum Range +100 meters Description: The bowstring twangs like thunder, the arrow rolls like a mountain collapsing. This is a spirit-enchanted weapon personally crafted by Lin Xu using the heavy crossbow blueprint. With his superb skills, the weapon, originally only of cyan excellent quality, has been upgraded by a whole new rank!
The original Heavy Mountain Crossbow's accuracy increased by 10% and its range increased by 50 meters, while the heavy crossbow he personally crafted had its attributes doubled.
To maximize the combat effectiveness of this small but elite force, Lin Xu specially crafted a second piece of spirit-enchanted equipment for them: the Baxia Greaves.
Item: Baxia Greaves Grade: Blue (Fine) Type: Armor
Effect: Reload speed +50%
Introduction: A boon for heavy crossbowmen. Compared to heavy crossbows, these leg guards have even more extreme attributes, designed to maximize the firing rate of heavy crossbowmen.
Similar to ordinary heavy crossbows, the Heavy Mountain Crossbow requires foot to cock, which takes a longer time.
With the Baxia Greaves, the Great Qin Heavy Crossbowman's extremely slow firing rate, which originally took nearly 30 seconds per round, was reduced to about ten seconds.
This change greatly increased the heavy crossbowmen's battlefield dominance. Just as the Orkoids were still shocked by the power of the first volley of crossbow bolts, the second volley came again.
This time, the remaining orcs were completely wiped out!
The first volley of heavy crossbow fire wiped out most of the dozen or so large orcs remaining in the orc formation, while the second volley cleaned up the survivors.
Even the Ork warlord was hit by a barrage of heavy crossbow bolts, its magnificent body torn apart by the ferocious arrows, its flesh and blood flying through the air.
"The boss is dead! Run!"
The remaining Ork Boyz and Gretchin collapsed on the spot, howling and screaming as they ran towards the mist.
"Knights charge!"
The five knights, accompanied by their squires, launched a charge, reaping the orcs from the rear.
"It's over, but I haven't even used my full strength yet..."
Lin Xu watched the battlefield with lingering interest, feeling that it had started strong but ended weakly.
They had originally planned to use these Orkoids, but the battle ended as soon as it began.
He looked up at the large vortex gathering in the sky, which was the Spiritual Qi that had been drifting in the territory and had been gathered by him.
"We can't waste it!"
Having halted the knights' second charge, Lin Xu cast a spell in the blink of an eye.
"Phew~"
The sky, which was originally filled with the ethereal Spiritual Qi of white clouds, turned fiery red, like a blazing sunset.
In the next instant, the burning cloud of fire rapidly compressed and condensed, eventually forming a massive, crimson fireball tens of meters in diameter.
High-level fire spell, Fire Meteor!
Jiang Hanyan's hand instinctively rested on the sword hilt. She bit her lip slightly, unconsciously drawing herself into the spell's attack.
The goal is in place.
She tried to break the terrible spell in her own way, but soon discovered with frustration that she could do nothing but dodge—in fact, under the spell's lock, even escape was a pipe dream!
A streak of fire flashed across the sky, and a massive fireball fell from the heavens like a meteorite, crashing into the fleeing Orc horde.
"Boom~"
The explosion, comparable to that of a cruise missile, spread outwards, and the visible shockwave swept across the land in an instant, causing friendly forces hundreds of meters away to stagger.
Large numbers of orcs were swept up and torn apart, their broken corpses and the mud and gravel flying everywhere, creating a large rain of sand and stones.
A dozen seconds later, after the explosion ended, the scorching flames slowly dissipated, leaving behind a huge crater with a diameter of nearly 15 meters and a depth of about 3 meters.
Wisps of steam rose into the air, and faint traces of soil crystallization could be seen in the crater.
"This is a high-level spell!" Lin Xu took a deep breath; almost all the fleeing orcs were taken away by this Fire Meteor!
Such power is comparable to that of a heavy cruise missile!
"I'm practically a missile launcher now!"
He could unleash such spells continuously within his territory, making him comparable to a missile battalion!
With a thought, Fire Meteor quickly took shape, and with a flick of the wrist, large fireballs streaked across the sky, crashing down into the mist beyond the territory.
As he watched five Fire Meteor fall to the earth, a smile appeared on Lin Xu's face.
The advanced spell Fire Meteor is a spell recorded in the "Fire Magic Book," which was recompiled by the Dungeon Heart using seal script talismans and transformed into a spell suitable for Daoists to learn.
He could unleash dozens of such powerful high-level spells in one go within his territory!
"With the added advantage of my authority, I am now practically indistinguishable from True Person within my territory."
The True Person is a level 15 or higher archmage, capable of commanding an army single-handedly.
He turned to leave, but was stunned to see tiny Source Fire Fragment rushing toward him from the depths of the mist, like weary birds returning to their nests.
"What happened? Did my Fire Meteor accidentally hit a roaming army of monsters?"
Lin Xu's expression was strange as he sensed the nearly one thousand Source Fire Fragment.
He subconsciously merged with the consciousness of the Evil Eye, looking into the depths of the mist, and immediately gasped. "Is this a human legion? Jiang Shiyan's army?"
"Damn it! Damn it! Who cast this spell?!" Li Meng's three corpses roared in fury, his face ashen as he looked at the chaotic mess of the army around him.
Just now, five Fire Meteor suddenly fell from the dim sky, crashing into the unsuspecting army.
What would happen to an army from the era of cold weapons if it were suddenly bombarded by heavy artillery while on the march?
A hapless thousand-man squad was hit directly in the center of the formation, and the violent shockwave nearly engulfed the entire battle group.
The heavy armor was no more durable than paper in the violent explosion; large numbers of elite soldiers were instantly engulfed in flames.
No remains were found.
By the time the explosion ended, the marching thousand-strong battle group had suffered heavy casualties, and the crater over 15 meters wide left on the ground fully demonstrated the immense power of the Fire Meteor.
Besides this unfortunate warband, two other warbands were also bombarded by spells, but this time they were only affected by the spells and their overall structure remained barely intact.
This is truly an unexpected disaster!
Seeing the five huge craters on the ground, Li Meng cast a war spell with lingering fear.
"War Spell: Aegis of the Atmosphere!"
With Li Meng at its core, the invisible power fluctuations above the entire 10,000-strong army condensed into a massive, transparent shield.
This is the power of heroes; by pooling the strength of many to cast spells, the effectiveness of magic can be elevated to a strategic level!
A few minutes later, five more Fire Meteor fell from the sky and crashed into the marching procession, but this time they were blocked by the Aegis of the Atmosphere.
Aside from creating large patches of fire, it did not cause any effective damage.
Within his territory, Lin Xu used the Evil Eye to observe this massive army.
Jiang Lineage Army's army was clearly poorly equipped. The main infantrymen were all equipped with a set of leather armor, plus swords, spears, and halberds, which was just the average standard for ordinary soldiers.
What is remarkable is the towering castle atop the Mountain-Bearing Turtle at the center of this legion, with its rows of ballistae and catapults—it is a veritable mobile war fortress!
