Chapter 570: Chapter 393 Start Fighting! The Secret Weapon of the Gray Dwarves!_3
“It’s hard to say.”
Zhang Zhen said, “The protective barrier of Myriad Snake City is the Darkflame Earth Vein Vortex Formation of the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe, which, combined with the Earth Vein Magma, can draw on the Earth Force to form a protective barrier. Given the current attack frequency and energy of the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe, it would take at least three days to breach Myriad Snake City’s defense array!”
“Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe has other methods!”
“Such as?”
“An Epic Realm warrior taking direct action! Just one Epic Realm warrior going all out could break through this protective barrier within an hour!”
Zhang Zhen clenched his teeth and said, “Or rather, the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe has control over the core of the Darkflame Earth Vein Vortex Formation’s array. If they break it, the Darkflame Earth Vein Vortex Formation of Myriad Snake City will be rendered ineffective!”
As they were speaking, the army formation of the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe outside Myriad Snake City underwent another change.
Grilled goat meat, boiled seven-gill eels, a small portion of apple puree and pear slices, hop-flavored barley beer, and white bread made from fine wheat flour.
This was Liszt’s dinner.
The slightly Western-style meal did not suit his taste, but he was incapable of cooking and could not prepare the home-cooked dishes he liked. Moreover, in this world, nobles are strictly forbidden from entering kitchens, storehouses, or any other places meant for servants, as doing so would be a breach of noble etiquette and subject to ridicule.
Of course, the court was an exception.
The chefs and servants of the court were all attended to by aristocrats from the various small fiefs. Liszt’s father, the Earl of Coral Island, had once served as a stablemaster for the new generation of the Sapphire Duke, responsible for caring for the Duke’s beloved steed—a horse with a mix of dragon blood in its lineage.
To this day, the Earl of Coral Island would occasionally enter the court to fulfill the role of stablemaster.
He relished this task, fearing that another noble might replace him as stablemaster and impede his close relationship with the Grand Duke.
In the same vein, the Sapphire Duke also served as a personal valet to the lord of his sovereign state, the Steel Ridge Kingdom, attending to His Majesty the King’s every need.
Essentially, commoners are the servants of the nobility, and the lesser nobility serve the greater nobility.
Only by becoming king of a country does one become a true master.
“Thankfully, here in Fresh Flower Town, I am the sole master and need not attend to anyone,” Liszt thought contentedly while eating his less-than-satisfactory dinner.
The Earl was his father who didn’t care for him and would hardly bother him.
After dinner, Butler Carter would direct the maids to clean up the dishes, and a personal valet would bring water for washing and assist Liszt with rinsing out his mouth.
When the routine was done, Carter left with the other servants, “I will be just outside the door, Master and the two gentlemen, please call upon me if you need anything.”
“Thank you, Mr. Carter,” Liszt said, smiling with a gentleman’s grace. In terms of noble etiquette, he was influenced by his predecessor and didn’t need to learn it actively; it came naturally to him.
Even towards the lowliest servants, one must maintain politeness and respect—in private, it mattered not whether they were beaten or killed or subjected to any sort of mistreatment, but publicly, one must maintain noble demeanor.
“It is my honor to serve you,” Carter said as he smoothly closed the door.
“Liszt,” Goltai said, taking a sip of tea sweetened with honey, “we must quickly make use of the Elf Bug, but the town’s finances are in terrible shape. The previous administrative officer was a fool who did nothing but oppress serfs and left us with a mess!”
“What? That powerful!”
Over three hundred years of career changes, as firearms became increasingly ineffective under the suppression of world rules, the Blue Star Human Race had abandoned a large number of thermal weapons and turned to research energy weapons instead.
Even with the support of auxiliary professions, the firepower of cannons was far less than before the Great Catastrophe.
Unexpectedly, they were now being attacked by cannons!
Outside Myriad Snake City, the Gray Dwarves took out Magma Fire Crystals the size of human heads, hastily stuffing them into the barrels of the cannons.
Under the control of the artillerymen, many special patterns began to spread over the entire barrel and base, quickly coalescing on the stout barrels.
And then…
“Zzz… Boom!”
Hundreds of fiery red laser beams shot out like torrential rain, smashing viciously against the protective barrier of Myriad Snake City.
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
In an instant, hundreds of dazzling flames flashed, and a great amount of Magma Fire splashed in all directions, shaking the protective barrier engulfing Myriad Snake City violently.
Many fiery red cracks began to spread from the North City of the protective barrier, like a slowly cracking egg.
Xu Qingluan looked up in surprise at the sky, “Such tremendous power; if this were to hit the city walls, it might be possible for a single cannon to bring down the walls!”
Shen Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said, “The rate of fire of the Magic Crystal Cannon is once every half hour, they must wait for the cannon’s barrel to cool down. Such cannon strikes are impossible to carry out again in a short time… Fuck!”
Under the incredulous gazes of several people, another batch of Magic Crystal Cannons was pulled out by the Seductive Snake Demon Tribe’s army formation outside the city, replacing the ones that had just been fired.
“The second batch of Magic Crystal Cannons!?”
“The Gray Dwarves have brought out all their trump cards, haven’t they? It truly is a Holy War!”
Shen Nanfeng made a decisive decision, “We can’t let this group of Gray Dwarves continue the attack, who knows if they have even more Magic Crystal Cannons behind them!”
“Find a way to break out and destroy those Magic Crystal Cannons!”
“To maximize the power of the Magic Crystal Cannons, the Gray Dwarves are positioned less than a kilometer away from Myriad Snake City. Remove the protective barrier and break out to destroy the Magic Crystal Cannons!”
“I’ll come with you!”
