The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 112 The Black Hawk Empire's deflection shield is definitely problematic!

Inside the airship, which had just begun to gain altitude, the officer breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could even take off his hat and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light to his side.

Immediately afterwards, a large ball of lightning suddenly shot out, heading straight towards the large airship in the distance. The dazzling light made the officer unable to open his eyes for a moment.

The lightning ball slammed heavily onto the void shield outside the large airship, unleashing a wave-like ripple.

Although the ball of lightning disappeared quickly, the void shield outside the airship also disappeared at the same time!

"Damn it! Quickly cover our Brandenburg airships! Take out their giant cannon!"

Seeing the large coil gun emplacement suddenly rise from a small hill in the distance, the Black Hawk officer was extremely anxious and immediately roared at the pilot of the airship.

But his airship isn't like those convenient and agile small airships. Even if he speeds it to the limit, how fast can he go?

Surrounding the massive Brandenburg airship, several other gunships also noticed the large coilguns in the distance and launched a fierce bombardment in that direction.

But at this moment, they met their match, because a void shield actually rose up around the giant cannon!

One cannonball after another slammed into the void shield, creating ripples, but these attacks had no real effect.

No matter how the shells bombarded it, the void shield seemed to remain standing, firmly protecting the coil cannons that were charging behind it.

A brand new flash erupted again, and a ball of lightning flew fiercely toward the Brandenburg airship. Amidst the despairing gazes of the soldiers above the airship, the massive ball of lightning exploded with a deafening roar.

The rampaging electric currents not only killed all the soldiers in the metal cabin in an instant, but also ignited the flammable gases inside the airship.

With a violent explosion, the Brandenburg airship, which was over 150 meters long, transformed into a giant fireball in the sky and then slowly plummeted toward the ground.

"Hurrah! We've brought that giant monster down!"

"Well done! Look over there, that's our super cannon!"

All the soldiers cheered excitedly, and many ran up to higher ground, wanting to get a glimpse of the giant cannon atop the distant hill.

Andrei stared dumbfounded at the fantastical scene in the sky, his mind momentarily blank.

"Wait a minute, what is this thing? When did our Cambrian Empire have this kind of advanced technology? I've never heard of it before."

Not only Andrei, but many other officers were also shocked by this thing. Yuri, who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel, patted Andrei on the shoulder and asked in a daze.

Andrei glanced at him and shook his head in annoyance.

"Please, you were a major and you didn't even know this thing existed. What makes you think I, a captain, would know about it?"

Lieutenant Colonel Yuri looked innocently at Andrei's chest and said:

“Because you’re from a noble family! Your father is an earl, and also an imperial general! I thought you could find out something from your father!” Andrei rolled his eyes, not wanting to discuss this kind of issue.

He wasn't sure if he originally knew, but it was clear that he really didn't know at all now, otherwise he wouldn't be so stunned by the scene before him.

However, recalling the opinions of others about his original self, Andrei seriously doubted that his original self would have cared about such issues, and probably didn't know about them before.

Just then, Andrei suddenly heard a cry of grief, and a chorus of curses coming from the direction of the rooftop.

Meanwhile, players were also complaining in the comments section.

The Celestial Being Who Knows Me: [Damn it, such a cool cannon, how could it be destroyed so quickly? I was hoping to see if I could get a chance to operate it and fire a couple of shots!]

Rice Noodle Roll Cat: [Damn it, another plot-driven death! When will we players finally get a chance to stand up?]

Looking at the content of these chat areas, Andrei blinked.

Seriously, buddy?

Didn't we just say that this giant cannon is well protected by the Void Shield and won't be destroyed by enemy artillery?
How could they have been taken down by the other side in such a short time?
Unbeknownst to Andrei, just as he was inwardly complaining, several guards were anxiously supporting an elderly man beneath the completely destroyed fort.

"Major General Maxim, are you alright?"

"Medic, where's the medic?"

The old man named Maxim was not wearing a military uniform, but rather a strange leather coat, and his body was covered with unidentifiable ornaments.

With the help of several guards, he sat up shakily, then shook his head and said somewhat absentmindedly:
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I just had a mental shock and am a little dizzy for a moment!"

"This kind of deflection shield spell is not easy to use. It consumes too much mental energy, especially when being hit by cannon fire, the consumption of mental energy increases tenfold!"

Several medics ran over, and one of them handed him a bottle of some kind of liquid. He drank it without even looking at it, and his complexion improved significantly.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted to an officer beside him:
"Regarding that kind of shield from the enemy, I remember you should have already informed the rear, right? Now I'm absolutely certain that it wasn't created by a mage!"

"Given the Black Hawk Empire's method of training combat mages through rapid development, they could never have produced so many mages with powerful mental strength, let alone so many people who could maintain such a shield for a long time!"

"They must have devised some technique we don't understand to stabilize this complex deflection shield. Only in this way could they equip every airship and warship with this kind of protection!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

In the past, he would have been the most opposed to abandoning the mage tradition, establishing magic schools, and large-scale magic education, because in his view, this would be an attack on the mage's lofty status and a breaking of their millennia-old tradition.

In the past, mages were generally only found in the imperial court, serving as advisors to high-ranking officials and nobles. However, the training model of the Black Hawk Empire completely shattered all of this.
