Just as the elves were discussing how to deal with the situation at hand, an elf hero suddenly stood up.

"No, everyone move quickly."

But it was already too late. When the elf fled outward, there was a roar in the sky.

The elven heroes have all heard this sound. It is the sound made by heavy objects thrown by catapults flying in the air.

You can tell from the sound that this catapult is quite big.

Unlike other elf heroes, their reactions were very quick. They ran out quickly.

I want to take my men and retreat to a safe place.

But just as they rushed out of the party venue, they saw a huge hollow steel ball about six meters in diameter falling from the sky.

The iron ball hit the ground with green flames, creating a large flaming crater with a radius of fifty meters.

The most terrible thing is that after the iron ball was hit, it bounced two times.

Each blow can create a large crater of more than ten meters.

During the final push, the iron ball rolled forward for more than sixty meters.

All the elves along the way were sucked in and turned into crushed flesh.

When the iron ball rolled to the end, the entire sphere turned bright green. With a final bang, the sphere exploded into pieces. Countless palm-sized fragments flew around and cut into the elf's body.

When everything was over, the camp where the elves had just set up had been blown to ashes.

The elf heroes cleaned up the scene, and they were speechless to find that at least two hundred elves had died in just this attack.

The most tragic deaths here were the elf mages.

They are not as responsive as other elves, and in order to protect the elf mages, they usually live in the middle of the camp.

This is exactly where the iron ball hit.

Most of the elf mages were killed on the spot, and most of those who survived could not be seriously injured.

At the same time, before an elf hero had time to escape, he was hit by the iron ball at the first drop, becoming the fastest among these elf heroes to die.

Seeing such losses, the elven heroes silently moved the camp nearly thirty miles away.

Only then can we discuss the next steps with peace of mind.

On Chen Wei's side, he also saw the situation in the elf camp, and he was quite satisfied with the newly repaired catapult.

After all, the attack range of 20,000 meters can hit almost anywhere on the edge of the woods.

The elves have now retreated thirty miles away. If they had not retreated, Chen Wei would have wanted to give them another shot.

Standing next to the catapult, Chen Gu watched the five Roshan Maniacs lift the iron ball bullet down again. The lava dwarf removed several of the catapult's activation accessories and changed the catapult from the activated state to the standby state.

In the words of the lava dwarves, if the catapult is not used all the time, it is best to keep it on standby.

In this way, the mechanical arm of the trebuchet will not be in a tight state all the time and will not be broken so easily.

But that's not what Chen Wei is concerned about right now. He is thinking about another thing at this time.

"How soon can we make a catapult like this now?"

"This is a movable catapult with a relatively short range, so it is relatively simple to make. At the speed of our current arsenal, we can make one in about ten days. Once you become proficient in it, it will only take seven days to make one.

tower."

"The movable one has a shorter range? Is it a fixed sling that has a longer range?"

Chen Wei immediately understood the meaning of the lava dwarf's words.

"Yes, but not very far. We can make a giant catapult that can be launched up to 50,000 meters, but the accuracy of that catapult will be quite low. The attack deviation of 50,000 meters will be 20

About meters."

"I didn't ask you to hit a person fifty thousand meters away. Aren't slings meant for large-scale attacks?"

Chen Wei smiled and said: "How long will it take to make a fixed catapult?"

"Sir, this kind of fixed catapult is troublesome. It requires finding a suitable place to lay the foundation, transporting various materials, and adjusting the strength of the materials according to the different conditions of each place.

If you add up these seven, seven, eight, or eight, you won’t be able to build such a catapult in just one month.”

Chen Wei thought for a moment and then asked: "What about the power?"

"The power is naturally quite great, after all, the distance and speed are there, and such a giant catapult does not use such small iron ball projectiles."

Chen Wei thought for a moment, "Then, I will tell Red Hammer and ask him to prepare two, no, three such movable catapults, and also ask him to arrange for manpower to come over. I need to build one here in Plague Town.

Giant sling."

"Sir, I would like to make a small comment. Plague Town is actually not suitable for building catapults. It is full of swamps. If we want to build a giant catapult, we need to dig out the silt in the swamp and fill it with steel.

.

Let’s not talk about the investment here, but the time it will consume is not something we can consume now.”

"It's okay if Plague Town doesn't work. I have another place where I can install catapults. Forget it, let's not talk about it yet. Let's make three movable ones first."

Chen Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said to the lava dwarf.

"Will every movable catapult be able to keep up with so many of your manpower?"

"Yes, we are all specially trained."

"Then what if you die in the battle? Do you want me to train some operators in Plague Town? Little devils can come and operate it. Skeletons should also be able to do it. Is there such an iron ball that Plague Town can make? If not,

It will take a long time to transport it from Fulai Village?"

Regarding this question, the lava dwarf was also speechless.

But this is a very real problem.

If a few of them died in the battle, then there would be no one to deal with the sling.

As well as the production of the iron ball, if it had to be transported from Fulai Village, then the catapult would really not be able to hit a few hits.

It can be seen that they still have a lot to consider in terms of siege weapons.

The lava dwarf was consulted by Chen and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Chen Wei had completed a circle around the sling.

He asked the lava dwarf following behind him: "Is there room for strengthening and transforming this thing?"

"Yes, many of the materials we use are steel, but in some places, wood is actually more suitable, which can reduce weight without affecting the effect. There are also some places where we need to use better alloys..."

The lava dwarf was talking there, but Chen Wei's mind went astray, and he thought of a possibility.

Can the catapult be synthesized with the Ancient God Corpse Oil?
