Chapter 272 Fire!
(The first half is not well written. I will think about how to revise it. You can read the last 1,000 words first.)
The battleship pierced through the thick clouds at an astonishing speed. The moist air cooled and condensed into water droplets, hanging in strings on the porthole glass.
The scenery from the sky is quite magnificent. The mountains, rivers and streams are like a carefully arranged painting, slowly unfolding before everyone's eyes.
The representatives left their seats one after another and walked to the portholes, chatting while admiring the magnificent land beneath their feet.
For the vast majority of Terrans, such a high-altitude journey is undoubtedly an unprecedented and novel experience.
The weapons testing site was not too far from Kazdale City, and the warship quickly began to lower its altitude and came below the clouds.
During the last weapon system test, the large and small lakes left by the naval guns reflected the dazzling sunlight.
The entire area of water has been stocked with scaly beast seedlings, and will be developed into Kazdel’s first aquaculture base in the future.
The warship passed over the calm lake, casting a large shadow that attracted some curious scaly beasts to surface to check the situation.
Roy couldn't possibly order the warships to use their main guns to bomb the fish. After all, these were bought with money, and if they were to bomb them, they would do so at sea.
So Roy ordered Manfred to choose another piece of wasteland with a slightly flatter terrain to prepare for the firing of the main gun.
"Is it time to start?" The representatives realized as the warship gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
The terrifying cannon they had been looking forward to seeing would soon explode with a roar.
Sure enough, not long after, Manfred's steady and powerful voice came from the ship's radio: "The battleship has arrived at the designated firing position. All personnel, please return to your positions."
For personal safety reasons, Manfred recommended that everyone return to their seats and fasten their seat belts.
The main gun charging symbol on the main control console has turned red, which means it can be fired at any time.
"Ten, nine, eight..." The countdown to the launch began. Some people's pupils began to dilate and their breathing gradually quickened due to nervousness.
Even the representatives who had rich life experience and had seen all kinds of big scenes found it difficult to maintain a stable mentality after seeing the wild Sarkaz military products.
The terrifying energy contained in the ten pure source stones was surging in the lower cabin at this moment.
"Six! Five! Four..."
Muirseth felt that the countdown seemed to be speeding up, and hurriedly chose to let go of Saria's arm and nervously covered his elastic elf ears.
"Three! Two! One!"
In a place that no one could see, an unprecedented amount of energy gathered at the muzzle of the main gun, and the surrounding space was twisted by this force and trembled slightly.
"emission!"
As Manfred pressed the fire button, a dazzling light burst out from the muzzle, accompanied by a deafening roar and rolling heat waves.
The energy released by the Pure Originium instantly tore through the air, transforming into a blazing beam of light that slammed heavily onto the ground.
The moment the main gun fired, the world in front of him turned white. The blinding light made it impossible to open his eyes, his ears were filled with roars, and his head was buzzing.
The light faded, the dust settled, and the originally flat wasteland, after being bombarded, looked like a pot of extinguished charcoal fire.
The oval-shaped deep pit was filled with charred, smoking soil and melted, flowing magma.
The representatives of various countries, who had recovered from the shock, could not hide their fear and dread in the face of the tragic situation caused by the shelling. Their eyes flickered when they exchanged glances.
Is a weapon that can cause such horrific destructive power really the defensive weapon that the Sarkaz Demon King mentioned?
......
In Kazdel City, Theresa, who stayed behind, stepped down from the platform and walked into the enthusiastic crowd to interact with them.
Most people want to get close to their beloved Princess Theresa. If they are lucky enough to have a few words with her, it would be something worth showing off.
Theresa's behavior is somewhat dangerous. If there are assassins or attackers mixed in the crowd, the consequences will be disastrous.
Ascalon knew that he could not dissuade Her Highness Theresa from her decision, so he chose to stay by Her Highness' side.
In a corner of the crowded and noisy square, a new anchor from Yan Country set up his own filming equipment.
Using the sweetest and most lively voice, she called them family members affectionately.
As a new anchor of the "Bo Le Ma" media company, U Jiang has had dismal income since her debut.
The audience in the late-night live broadcast room are basically paid agents by the platform, and there are hardly any real people.
In order to increase her fans and exposure, U made a bold decision and came to Kazdel alone to photograph the local customs and culture.
Recently, the country of Kazdel has frequently appeared on the headlines of major newspapers. Other anchors in the company who analyze current affairs have seized this opportunity and made a lot of money.
Upon learning that Kazdel was about to establish a country, U-chan, a game anchor, still decided to set out and cross-border shoot a documentary.
However, she arrived at Kazdel a little late and missed the opportunity to apply for entry to the port square. She could only hold up the camera through the guardrail and try to capture some useful pictures.
The battleship flying in the sky just now consumed one of U-chan's memory cards. However, she was already satisfied to be able to take pictures of this epoch-making weapon.
"Should we rush back to Longmen overnight after the opening ceremony and sell the video..."
U-chan knows the value of this video very well, but if it is sold too late, the price will be greatly reduced.
While U-chan was in a daze, an old woman came over with a basket woven from rattan and tried to sell her a special Sarkaz drink that she had mixed.
"......Beautiful lady, would you like a drink?" The old woman grinned, revealing her leaky front teeth.
The skinny five fingers took out a clean paper cup from the basket and handed it to U-chan.
U-chan originally wanted to wave her hand to refuse, but when she saw the old woman's hunched back and gray hair, she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Excuse me, I'd like to try it, how much is it..." U-chan took out her little cat purse and prepared to pay.
"...Ten Longmen coins." The old woman quoted a very cheap price, and U-chan paid the bill without hesitation.
After receiving the money, the old woman once again took out a hide kettle from the basket, pulled out the cork, and filled the paper cup with the thick white liquid.
U turned the camera around and shot her own face.
She first leaned close to the liquid in the paper cup and sniffed it, the rich milky aroma was mixed with a faint floral scent.
"It's clean and hygienic, my family." After making sure there was no peculiar smell, U-chan raised the paper cup and drank it all in one gulp.
At the moment when the paper cup blocked the view, a pink and white figure slowly walked over surrounded by the crowd, and the camera just captured it all.
