The highly-operated undead war machine was extremely efficient. Soon, the skeleton soldiers in the front row gave way, revealing a group of strange cannons with long barrels and huge calibers, and covered with magic runes.

The weight and volume of these artillery are much larger than the eighteen-pound fast infantry cannons commonly used by the undead troops. The material and structure are also different from the simple and easy-to-understand murder weapons produced in assembly lines. They are like works of art, carefully carved, and all of this can prove the extraordinaryness of these artillery.

"Can it be fired? At this distance, can the opponent's artillery be fired?!" Marshal Franz looked at the distance for a moment, and was stunned at the time - the opponent's artillery was about three to four kilometers away from his own city wall. I have never heard of any kind of artillery's effective distance that can reach such a long distance. Even the best heavy artillery in the Empire cannot do it. Not to mention the general, various infantry artillery with an effective range that will not exceed the visual range.

The Imperial Team attaches great importance to the use and development of gunpowder weapons. As the Imperial Marshal, Franz is familiar with the standard artillery of the Empire and other countries, and almost all kinds of data are imprinted in his mind. But he never had any impression of any artillery that could hit the target from this distance.

The marshal, who was still unwilling to give up, thought to himself: "Maybe he should listen to the opinions of professionals again." So he turned his head and asked his gunpowder weapon consultant, an engineer from the Imperial Siege Academy.

"Impossible, the distance is too far. Even the best artillery is at this distance-"

While the engineer wearing a brown jacket, monocle glasses and a raised beard expressed his opinions in a "professional" tone, the shelling began. The eighty-five heavy siege cannon fuses lined up were ignited one after another, and then they emitted dazzling flames and choking smoke. Nearly a hundred solid iron projectiles made a harsh sound of breaking through the air, drawing a hot arc, and bombarding directly on the same wall, about twenty meters long. The two projectiles at the farthest were only twenty-two meters apart!

Amid the violent shaking sound of the shaking of the mountain, the soldiers standing at the city wall were blown straight into the air by the huge air waves, and then fell to the ground to pieces. Countless cracks appeared on the wall of the huge Yaoyan City Wall, and the pheasants on the top of the city collapsed, and a large amount of dust, gravel and debris fell to the ground one after another, forming a gray-yellow fog...

It seems that the strong city wall of Ultradorf can support only a limited round under the bombardment of such artillery. For some reason, the physical defense magic circle drawn on the city wall did not work. Compared to the undead troops, they adopted corresponding magic methods...

But now is not the time to talk about such things. After this round of shelling with excellent effect, all the soldiers of the Empire were frightened. Marshal Franz was the first to recover, and then grabbed the collar of the engineer's clothes, shook it desperately, and shouted loudly while shaking: "Didn't you say that you can't hit this distance?! You waste! Idiot!"

In this case, in order to boost his courage, Emperor ** also began to try to use artillery to hit the opponent. However, as mentioned before, the distance was too far. Even because of the advantage of height, the firing distance of these fortress cannons was much greater than that on the flat ground, but they still could not hit the opponent's army. There were even several artillery, because the gunners were eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they filled too much gunpowder to obtain a longer range...

The opponent's artillery could bombard our own side, but the opponent's artillery could not even reach the opponent's position. Although this city defense battle had only started for a short time, the Emperor, who was guarding Ultradorf and holding a strong city, was in great distress. In the past, they used guns and cannons to kill the enemy, but this time they turned upside down. This made many soldiers, especially those Emperor's gunners, sighed that the world had changed. It was really a reward for one another...

The opponent's artillery's power, range and accuracy are much better than that of his own artillery. The nearly 100 heavy artillery seemed to have eyes. Three consecutive rounds of bombardment all hit the same city wall. Seeing the cracks in that city wall became bigger and bigger, I am afraid that if it continues like this, it will be destroyed in no time. The soldiers felt very worried...

However, they felt heartbroken, incredible, and difficult to accept. However, in the opposite side, among the undead army of Sylvania, there were still people who felt that such a siege tactic was too slow and unconventional.

After asking the vampire officer in charge of gunpowder weapons, the other party's city wall was completely made of stunning rocks. It took at least half a month to collapse, Kodmus, who could not wait, issued an order, asking the Dead Air Force to launch an attack on Ultradorf.

Seeing large patches of white, translucent ghosts floating up into the sky and flew towards their own city. Not to mention the other three walls, the Emperor* soldiers not only did not feel nervous and fearful at the west walls, but also felt relaxed - the enemy launched an attack, which was really good news, at least they didn't have to continue to endure the roar of artillery fire.

But then, the soldiers of the Emperor and the Emperor were so impressed that they wanted to slap themselves. In the cloudy sky, the strange and hoarse dragon roar became louder and louder. Then, dozens of undead dragons emitting ominous pale white spiritual light shone through the clouds, revealing their huge, slightly broken undead bodies. The huge pressure formed by the giant beasts made the soldiers of the Emperor and the Emperor and the soldiers of the city feel a burst of suffocation...

"Dragon! It's a dragon! How could there be so many dragons - by the way! Dragon Tomb! Dragon Tomb on the southern coast of Visenlan! Those heretic vampires must have excavated that dragon tomb!"

Marshal Franz quickly learned the other party's background, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers under his command: "Don't be afraid! The loyal and brave soldiers of the Emperor** are just a group of monsters made of bones! We have a way to deal with them!"

As the old marshal finished speaking, the dragons of the undead roared and sprayed cold dragon breath into the city. The pale and cold flames quickly burned in the city of Ultradorf. The temple, palace, large library, engineering college, magic school... The exquisite and huge buildings that all empires are proud of were their targets of attack. The originally beautiful artificial buildings instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire-

Immediately, the soldiers of the Emperor** began to fight back.

Before this, Marshal Franz had done a lot of homework. Knowing that the Undead Air Force was strong, he also made some strategies against the opponent's air force.

First, he implemented the precious metal collection method in Altdorf, levying all the silver products, currency and cellar silver in the city.

Of course, this is accompanied by some terror activities and bloody suppression. However, Marshal Franz thinks these are worth it.

In fact, before this, he had considered embezzling part of the treasury funds. Unfortunately, after seven or eight years of war, the treasury led by Prince Altdorf and Prince Rick was already empty and could run away. So he had to attack those who were unkind, made money for the country, or who had no guilt, but were just too rich.

However, no matter what, the amount of silver products was enough. After collecting enough silver, he sent the silver to the arsenal in the city and used "silver" instead of "lead" to create a batch of expensive musket projectiles specially designed for the undead troops.

He used these projectiles and a batch of long-range sharpshooters with a range longer than ordinary muskets to arm a group of long-range sharpshooters targeting the undead. This skinny force was one of his ways to fight against the undead Air Force.

Another method is that compared to the very innovative "Silver Sagittarius" it seems a little old-fashioned.

The magician, the priest of Sigma, and a group of combat engineers from the Imperial Academy of Engineering, holding special "sniper rifles" formed a special force against the Undead Air Force...

Of course, before that, most of the imperial magicians and combat priests went north with the army and fought against the Chaos Army. In the years of the battle, the group of new rookie priests and mages who graduated from the academy had the final outcome... At this moment, there were not many special troops in the city of Ultradorf. These wizards and priests were originally left to maintain the normal work of the National Education and Mage Academy, and the teachers who remained, as well as many rookies who had no graduation at all...

Needless to say, the rookies among the rookies know how bad the combat power is. The teachers may not be bad, but the academics who have never been to the battlefield have to discuss how strong their actual combat capabilities are... But it is better than not.

As the undead dragons rage in the sky, countless ghost soldiers from all directions rushed towards Ultradorf like thick fog. This group of temporary special troops and special "Silver Shooters" also took action immediately.

They either stayed in cities, in high-rise buildings that were requisitioned, or on the tower of the sages of the state religion and wizards belonging to Sigma. They raised their heads and pulled the trigger, fired projectiles, and recited spells to release magic.
