Secret weapon?

Listening to the conversation between Li Mu and Gugu Bird, Natural Saintess Alice felt a bit puzzled.

What had they come up with?

She was aware that hundreds of lower-level Chosen Ones hadn’t taken any missions but were busy with something in Elf Town.

However, she soon found out what the Chosen Ones were talking about.

...

The Teleportation Array burst into light once again, and four or five players surrounded a giant as it was transported here.

It was a large wooden machine, folded in form.

After the first giant was transported, the players one by one brought over three more identical machines.

“What is this thing?”

Alice was slightly stunned.

“This is our secret siege weapon,”

Gugu Bird answered while directing the players to start assembling.

In no time, four huge machines appeared on the hilltop.

They were upright, sharp-angled machines, with the characters “East Wind” written humorously on the side in Chinese.

The main body of the machine consisted of two pillars with a fixed horizontal axis. On top were a wooden capstan and pulleys. On the axis, there was a lever perpendicular to the axis, free to rotate around it. One end of the lever was inserted into a tightly twisted horizontal rope; the other end was a large wooden basket.

“This… this looks like a catapult from the Human World!”

Alice’s voice sounded peculiar.

She was not unfamiliar with catapults.

The human society in the Segis World was somewhat akin to the late medieval Earth. Although there were Magical Crystal Cannons and other magical weapons, catapults, which could be made with locally sourced materials and were easy to produce, were also common siege devices.

And as a magical world, the catapults in the Segis World would typically be used in conjunction with magic.

However, speaking of which, Alice didn’t have a good impression of humans, nor did she have a favorable view of these war devices they created.

But even so, she had to admit that some human creations were quite practical.

Especially when the elves started waging war!

What surprised Alice was that the Chosen Ones could even make catapults!

Of course, the players could make them.

Catapults were not incredibly technical; they were based on the principle of levers, with plenty of how-to guides available online.

The difficult part was making them large and with a long range, but a few players in the Mengmeng Committee who studied engineering mechanics were not just loafing around.

Once they learned they were going to attack the Half-Beast stronghold, the players began preparing in various ways.

They originally thought it would be a straightforward siege, so some players suggested getting some big machines ready.

Initially, they intended to make cannons.

But the ideal was full, while the reality was bare.

Even with magical assistance, the players found that with their current equipment and resources, they couldn’t produce hot weapons, so they opted for the relatively simpler catapults.

Although it turned out that the Half-Beasts didn’t yet have the capability to build fortresses, the players’ preparations weren’t entirely useless.

And now, they came in handy.

Seeing the finished catapults, Demacia’s eyes widened:

“Holy crap! Gugu sis, your guild is really awesome! You actually made them!”

“It’s just a simple application of mechanics. Unfortunately, materials are scarce, so these can only throw about five hundred meters at most. Fortunately, we have the high ground and magic to assist,”

Gugu Bird said a little regretfully.

Demacia:…

Five hundred meters was already far enough, okay?!

It was worth noting that the average range of heavy catapults in Blue Star’s Middle Ages was only around three hundred meters.

*Straight-A students are monsters!*

And looking at the catapults, Li Mu’s lips curved slightly:

“Did the Half-Beasts not want to fight to the death? Then let’s use East Wind Express to destroy their lair!”

“Hehehe…”

The players exchanged understanding smiles.

Alice’s mouth twitched slightly.

*These Chosen Ones… They looked more and more like humans!*

After setting up the catapults, the players placed heavy objects into the wooden basket, brought bags of crushed stones, and put them into the lubricated hang bags on the other end of the levers.

“Anyone here knows any fire-attachment magic? Preferably with a delayed explosion attribute! It doesn’t have to delay too long—just a few seconds will do!”

Li Mu asked again.

“Me! Me! I learned a fire magic spell before! It’s the kind that can attach to objects for a short time! Delayed detonation isn’t a problem! Its power is absolutely immense! Teehee… I’ll put Demacia’s house on the line!”

Little Xian Miao eagerly stepped forward while rubbing a fireball in her hands.

Demacia:…

…

Rock Cave Tribe.

After changing their tactics, the Half-Beasts’ losses significantly decreased, and the elves were trapped on the hilltop.

Although the Silver Knight still posed a significant threat among the elves, the Half-Beasts, having been vigilant and taking countermeasures, prevented him from doing as he pleased like before.

El was not like the players; he was still essentially an eighty-year-old child, unable to resurrect, and his stamina was limited.

This allowed Jushan to breathe a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the Demon Hounds struggling with the Half-Beast archers’ support, feeling much more at ease.

*The Count should be almost ready, right?*

Just when he was feeling somewhat reassured, Jushan suddenly heard an exclamation from the Half-Beasts.

Instinctively, he turned around and was shocked to discover four flaming “meteors” flying toward the hill!

The “meteors” traced an arc directly toward the Rock Cave Tribe.
