Chapter 1974: Chapter 633: The Old Gecko’s Secret

Within less than three seconds, Liu Zhenhuan wielded the six-barrel heavy machine gun triumphantly, sweeping out a long tongue of fire that sent the charging Mulan cavalry flying, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

The flood-like surge of Mulan cavalry crashed like a fierce waterfall against a hard rock, helplessly sacrificing blood and life to write greater accolades for Liu Zhenhuan.

However, the six-barrel cannon in his hands emitted neither a crackling gunfire nor thick smoke, and no shell casings were seen popping out from the barrel; only two foolish Hill Kings stood by, puffing their cheeks like frogs and frantically mimicking the strange noise “da da da… da da da…” with booming voices.

“Quadruple Lightning Chain”…

“Ice Arrow Volley”…

“Flame Meteor”…

“Corrosive Missile”…

“Suffocating Vine”…

“Dense Wind Blade”…

To be hit one after another by six different magic attacks within three seconds is a nightmare beyond nightmares for anyone!

The working principle of Liu Zhenhuan’s “six-barrel mini cannon” is actually exceptionally simple: by pulling the trigger, the magic crystal embedded in the hammer contacts the Wind Magic Circle engraved on the gun, and the generated magical force propels the six barrels to rotate like a windmill, simultaneously allowing the bullet belt to naturally shuttle through the gun’s interior via the motion of the six spinning barrels.

Based on current alchemical technology, crafting such a “six-barrel mini cannon” poses nearly no technical challenges; in fact, Liu merely proposed a concept, and the Emerald City alchemists easily produced a prototype.

The Emerald City alchemists were quite critical, feeling that their boss not only insulted their dignity but also their intelligence, believing that with their skills and craftsmanship, every magical equipment they created by hand should have the Witch King or Netherworld leaders as target opponents; at the very least, they should make something that would send the Sea Clan Emperor running scared, and this six-barrel cannon model is nothing—a mere toy!

It must be said that ever since the Silver Dwarves’ Big Pineapple Cannonball defeated the rulers of the Netherworld and Demon World, confidence has been soaring throughout Emerald City.

Liu Zhenhuan was far from making fun of the alchemists; according to his request, the cannon model crafted might normally just be a toy, but when the bullet belt is equipped with “Osteo Wand,” this toy becomes a murderous weapon—”Osteo Wand” is a pure, natural magical sequence device; this prismatic, mutated magic crystal requires only a tiny bit of elemental power to activate, releasing a complete spell once a day.

In other words, as long as the ammunition system of this six-barrel cannon uses Osteo Wand, even a brute could wield it to unleash an arcane attack chain.

Liu Zhenhuan’s actions were out of desperation; Emerald City currently has more than two thousand Osteo Wands, originally intended for Little Bei to fire at the Musketeers, training them into rapid-fire mages; however, Little Bei has followed Master Stefano back to the human world, and without this dedicated magic trainer, the Magic Protector group, even if trained into rapid-fire mages, would still be useless without a proper commander.

Out of utter helplessness, Liu Zhenhuan took on the burden of commanding the Magic Protector group, reconstructing the forces according to his thoughts—commanding the Magic Protector group like Little Bei was beyond him, but Liu Zhenhuan always trailblazes ingeniously.

Military personnel from the era of firearms all understand the importance of concentrated fire.

Whether in defense or attack, continuous fire on the battlefield provides a suppressive effect.

In Liu Zhenhuan’s view, “Osteo Wand” is akin to a rocket launcher that can fire once a day; if distributed evenly among the Magic Protectors, not only would firepower be scattered and firing speed slow, but it would also seriously hinder maneuverability—the future main forces of Summer Palace Guards will be air force-centric, and until the “Titan Cruiser” is completed, the Magic Protector group struggles to coordinate with aerial units for offensive operations, creating a firepower gap.

Using the six-barrel mini cannon to concentrate all “Osteo Wands” into a continuous fire point, mobility allows for instant transfer anywhere; its appearance not only fills the firepower gap between bow and arrow and magic but, more importantly, offers great mobility, being usable by anyone—it serves as a versatile support piece that can reinforce other troops anywhere, serving as a walking fortress!

Liu Zhenhuan’s thought process is that simple, unaware of his foresight!

Whether on the Aegean Continent, Demon World, Desert World, or Ocean World, magic is a rare, precious, vital endgame power; because of the preciousness and luxury of elemental attacks, no one had ever thought or dared to envision forming a rapid-fire magic troop.

Even in the “Osteo Wand’s” place of origin, the Demon Continent under the supreme Witch King, such an idea never occurred—perhaps even if it did, it could not be realized! Osteo Wand is the hottest commodity in the Demon World, sought after by major families, nobles, and military willing to pay handsomely, and even ordinary adventurers know it as essential for survival—the Witch King may be exalted but lacks the authority to confiscate Osteo Wands at will.
