Novel Full 307 Heavy Artillery
Every person below me in the entire length of the battlefield on my side of the wall suddenly collapsed to the ground. Some used magic to blow themselves up, some just used a knife or sword to slice their own throats, and the monsters seemed to have all snapped their own necks. “More effective than I thought it would be. I was scared that if used in such a wide area that my own people would end up killing themselves but now that it is tested and foolproof, only I need to go out to the battlefield in the future. That Earth Wall made a for a good soundproofing material.”
I once more heard something being fired off in the distance, causing me to turn around. As I did, I saw a huge beam of light heading right at me. I waved my hand, sending out a massive fireball which collided with the beam of light, causing a huge explosion that almost knocked me out of the air but still sent me flying back into the earth wall I created. At the same time, I heard two more shots being fired, heading directly at me.
Waving my hand, I sent out another two fireballs out causing the same thing to happen, but this time I was embedded into the wall. Repeated shots could be heard off in the distance as I tried to pull myself out from the wall. But these shots were fast, too fast for me to be able to unstick myself as they smashed into me, exploding on contact. My earth wall began to crumble as another five shots were heard in the distance. “Damn it! Let me breathe!”
They were firing that large cannon like a damn machine gun! I quickly smashed the wall behind me and waved my hand, creating thousands of fireballs and sending them flying towards the cannon thing. For some reason, I felt like the final boss of some really bad RPG! I mean, who makes the final boss as cute as me!?
Loud explosions were going off in front of me. I turned and fixed the wall that was damaged from earlier before flying forwards while keeping a steady barrage of fireballs on the enemy in front of me. I had a feeling something was off, so my detection magic was on full blast. I was ready for anything. Anything that moved had a fireball sent flying at it and would explode. I didn’t even care if it was a fly because, on a battlefield with so many unknowns, I did not know what to expect.
The dreams I have had up until this point are all different from the current events to a point. In my dreams, the war that happened did not have these kinds of weapons. So dungeons might not have existed at that time. Unless maybe I had changed things just enough to change the future that should have been. Or maybe I was seeing a future of another me in a parallel universe.
For all I know, the current weapons could have existed, but since the war was supposed to start at a later time, things changed greatly. But none of that matters now because I just ran into an army even bigger than the last. “What the hell is with this kingdom!? Where do you get all these soldiers!?”
With my detection magic beyond the massive cannon that was still firing at me and only me was another massive army. It was like the first wave was to draw me out. If they really did, then it is because they fear me and were using the first wave as a means to check my abilities.
If this was the case, I royally screwed up! How am I supposed to deal with a situation where the enemy has seen my tricks and can now adapt? If they saw me using dragon speak and now insulating their men with soundproofing magic, I can not kill an entire army in a single command. They seem to understand the strength of Grand fall as well since their barriers around the weapons I stole held up well.
Dragon speak’s only weakness was that it needed to be heard, so if they couldn’t hear anything, then it would be useless. “Now what!?” I halted my advance and waved my hand, creating a massive rain of grand falls before continuing my advance. I decided it would be best to let the massive army in the back, that I know they are there. Even if it does nothing, it will at least keep them busy long enough for me to figure out what to do with this massive cannon. They seem to be firing at me no matter which way I go and only seem to have a single one of these weapons. If I can get close enough, I can steal it. I really do not want to give up such a nice defensive weapon.
If it can be replicated, we can outfit our borders with them and really secure the kingdom. As long as no one actually fires them by accident, things will be fine, which would mean needing some kind of safety lock and also a theft lock, so people like me don’t show up and steal them all.
I flew in circles around the cannon and realized that they would not fire in the direction that pointed inland. Which meant…. “Looks like if I land on the east side of it, I can make it stop firing, but then I am sure to be attacked. So maybe a sleep spell to get in quickly and then get out? Or should I charge forward and attack the next wave of soldiers after I take the weapon?”
“I should probably charge towards the enemy line. If such an army also makes its way into the Gravos Kingdom, more lives will be lost. But if they have defenses in place to counter me, then I guess the best solution is to go full dragon mode. But I still wonder why I can’t use fusion magic. This would be the perfect time to use it. While I do wish to use it, since the leader of the spirits stopped me from using it before, my guess is that it would have serious consequences. What consequences, I do not know. Ahhh!” I scratched my head and landed softly on the ground. “One thing at a time, weapon first.”
