The first shot is to measure the approximate trajectory and range of the catapult, and the second shot is to test the accuracy.
Narant asked his guards to draw a large circle more than 400 meters away, with a range of about ten meters.
For a trebuchet, it is not that difficult to achieve complete accuracy.
The circle was drawn, and the second projectile was loaded following Narant's order.
And Vivian also began to instruct Big Stone and others to find the angle.
Speaking of which, this catapult has another advantage, that is, the projection angle can be slightly modified.
At that time, as long as you put a layer of hard soil behind it, you can change the shooting depression angle up and down, and this simple control can affect the shooting distance.
Of course, this kind of operation is only possible with catapults. Large catapults and Quint's small catapults have certain requirements on the leveling of the ground, otherwise the entire support may be broken accidentally.
This is another advantage of the catapult, which can just make up for the shortcomings in range and power.
"Sir, you've already aimed." About a minute later, Vivian's crisp voice came.
"Then let's launch!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"emission!"
Boom!
Following Narant's order, the catapult shook again, and the football-sized projectile flew out.
boom!
After a while, the stone bullet hit the ground in an arc visible to the naked eye.
"Wow! Hit! Sister Vivian is really amazing!" With Vivian taking the shot, Narant did not disappoint with the second shot, hitting the circle 400 meters away.
Shirley jumped up excitedly when she saw it.
"Vivian, it's very good!" Narant also praised Vivian without hesitation.
This is also Vivienne, she has a talent for accurate perception, so just look at the shooting parabola once and can adjust it correctly.
If someone else were to operate it, even if it was a trebuchet veteran, it is estimated that there is no calibration of three or five rounds, so don't even think about entering the circle.
"Thank you for your compliment!" Vivian blushed.
Narant looked at Vivian's shy look quite seductive, and after a while he continued: "By the way, Vivian, next, my lord, I am going to recruit fifty ordinary guards again, then you will need more. There is a task, and that is you to teach them how to operate the trebuchet!"
With the completion of the crossbow and the catapult, Narant is ready to form a baggage team again, specially responsible for the control of the crossbow and the catapult.
Of course, with the current number of serfs in the territory, it is difficult for him to draw out so many people.
However, fortunately, the earl's personal servant gave him a message a few days ago, that is, the second prince will send him a population package in the near future, so Narant is going to wait for the package to arrive, and then choose from them. .
The only pity is that Vivian has not yet reached the level of being promoted to the intermediate level, otherwise training the guards will be twice the result with half the effort.
"Yes, my lord, Vivian will definitely teach her carefully!" Vivian was naturally obedient to Narant, and was not at all unhappy because of the added tasks.
"Very good!" Next, Narant turned to look at the carpenters, who were already looking forward to it: "You guys did a good job this time, I promised you a reward last time, wait a moment. Each of you go to the castle steward to get a gold coin!"
"In addition, Mario, write down their names. After the small building in Maiye Village is built, each of them will be allocated one!"
Able to make crossbows and catapults, from this moment on, these serfs are considered cutting-edge talents.
So Narant is not stingy in rewarding him.
Of course, there is also the idea of thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Thank you Lord for the gift! Thank you Lord for the gift!"
Several carpenters knelt on the ground in excitement.
Gold coins and beautiful small buildings, which they never imagined before!
Although they were carpenters, they never actually owned gold coins.
As for the small building that is as beautiful as a noble manor, it is not even a dream that he has ever dreamed of.
Not only can you get a gold coin now, but you can also get a brand new stone house in the near future.
They felt that when they really lived in that beautiful small building, even if they only lived for one day, they would have no regrets in their life.
When Narant tested the trebuchet with great success, at the junction of the Dark Iron Earl and Stormland, thousands of people gathered here.
"Your Excellency Ulic, are you ready? This time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has explained that I must complete this matter!"
"Sir Barn, please rest assured, this time I have mobilized 300 guards to ensure that these serfs will not dare to come back after they have been driven over." Ulic sat leisurely on a soft chair, facing a middle-aged man beside him. Sir Nian opened his mouth.
This middle-aged man is a subordinate of the second prince. This time, he has gathered thousands of families of the daughters of doom from the various counties. This is a great gift specially prepared for the Storm Lord!
"That's good, then I'll ask Your Excellency Ulic!"
"Sir Barn, you're welcome~www.readwn.com~ I will definitely help with the things that His Royal Highness the second prince explained. Besides, my father has already rushed over more than 200 family members of the Daughter of Doom some time ago. There are no reflections.”
"In my opinion, that Narant has too many lice now and is not afraid of biting. I guess I really hope you can send more people over there!" Ulic teased, of course, he didn't realize that he was making fun of his words. is the truth.
"Haha! I don't need to worry about this, I'm only responsible for completing the tasks given by the second prince!" Baan smiled when he heard the words, "However, speaking of this little lord named Narant is really bold, not only Dare to contradict the prince, and even dare to stay in the land of doom."
"Your Excellency Ulic, if there is an attack by dark creatures in this Storm Territory, and that Sir Narant has suffered a lot, remember to inform His Royal Highness the Second Prince"
"No problem, Ser Barne, let's get started then!"
After speaking, Ulic waved to the centurions of the guards not far away.
Clang clang!
"Everyone, go north for me now! Or kill me!"
"what!"
As a group of guards drove away, the serfs who had gathered in a mess in front of them jumped around in an instant, and were shoved and led towards the storm while screaming.
"Remember me, even if you die, you can only die in the territory in front of you! If anyone dares to escape back, or flee to the grassland, as long as they are caught, they will cut off their limbs and throw them into the woods. Feed the beast!"
Amid the loud reprimands and threats of the guards, this group of serfs, who were not as good as beggars in ragged clothes, finally crossed the buffer zone and entered the border of the Storm Territory.
When these serfs crossed the border, several bees flying in the nearby flowers circled twice in the air, and then quickly flew towards the Fortress of Fortune.
