Chapter 735: They're crazy, they're using thorium as bombs

Mondra was a bit confused, and in fact, Duke Yingsi and the Archbishop were also confused. The soldiers of Mondra, who stood on the wall of the Capital of Saints, all looked puzzled.

The experienced generals could roughly estimate the distance when they heard the sound of the cannon just now. The firing position was behind West Grans army, at least two miles away from the wall.

This distance was too far!

What kind of cannon could shoot that far?

Short cannons can actually shoot that far, but no one thinks it's anything special. This is because the solid iron bullets fired by short cannons have very limited lethality, at most they can only bombard the city walls. Moreover, most of the short cannons are either flat-fired or have a slight parabolic arc, so would they shoot their own soldiers if they were mounted behind their own army?

Mondra looked up at the sky and could hear the whistle of the shells but couldn't see them. This was not a good feeling.

Then came a "Biu" sound from far to near, and then, "Boom", a section of the wall far away exploded!

It was a standard explosion spell!

This is a spell with an extremely short range. In the magical world, there is a big rule that the more troublesome the spell is to cast with a shorter range, the greater its power. The spells that are easier to cast with a longer range usually have weaker power.

Explosion spells belong to the type that is very troublesome and has a short range. Therefore, their power is almost the greatest among spells of the same level.

Flame magic splashed behind the wall, and countless sparks flew in all directions, and the huge heat spread in all directions, and red light particles drifted. The soldiers standing near the explosion point were the first to bear the brunt, and they were shaken by the explosion and flew out, falling tens of yards away.

Mondra couldn't help but say, "Huh? Explosion spell?"

How did this short-range magic get thrown into our city? Is there a spy in the city?

However, as soon as he thought of this, he immediately understood that it was not a spy who threw the explosion spell, but the shell that flew in with a sharp whistle from the sky.

A bomb exploded in the distance, and a nearby knight reacted quickly, raising his shield facing the direction of the bomb. Some even activated their combat skills and used "Shield Wall".

However, the shield was useless. After the bomb exploded, the knight holding the shield suddenly swayed, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly fell down. There were also several holes in his shield.

Mondra was shocked, "The shield couldn't stop it? What the hell is this thing?"

"I... I stopped it," a warrior who had used Shield Wall shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, I stopped it."

He pulled a small piece of metal from his shield, held it up, and ran back to Mondra, shouting, "They were killed by this thing. It was mixed in with the bombs."

Mondra looked at the metal piece and his face suddenly changed, "Thorium!"

The Archbishop next to him took a glance and couldn't help but change his face, "West Gran is using thorium bombs? They're insane."

"This bomb is unstoppable!" Mondra understood now that ordinary armor couldn't stop it, and ordinary soldiers couldn't use the powerful technique of "shield wall" to block it. Only powerful defensive warriors could use a shield wall to block these thorium bombs. But... where would he get so many defensive warriors in his army?

"Be careful with this bomb!" Mondra shouted loudly. As soon as his voice fell, with a loud bang, a bomb exploded not far from him, and a huge explosion of flames rushed towards him. Mondra immediately opened a flame cloak, and the power of the explosion hit his cloak but didn't harm him.

Several of his guards next to him also held up their shields and opened a "shield wall." There was a dense sound of "pupupupu", and several thorium shrapnel pieces pierced the shields of the guards, making their wrists numb. Because the shields only protected the upper body, a guard was hit in the leg by a shrapnel piece, and he groaned and fell to the ground.

Mondra, Yingsi, and the Archbishop had guards to protect them, so they survived, but the miscellaneous soldiers and low-level officers around them fell in a pile.
