Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 186: Impact Cannon

Sam didn’t attack further, he just let them in. He has to occupy the town to win or he has to kill the peac.o.c.k. But if he really did kill him from the long shot, how can he achieve his remaining goals. A lot of things are at stake with this war and he has to make it play according to his wishes.

And letting them to go into the town is one of his wishes. This was he can showcase his newly made product and he can earn the big bucks from the southern star Dukedom. So, he is peaceful.

But his counter part the peac.o.c.k is anything but peaceful.

He is beyond angry. He looked at the Deputy along with thirty others being sent to a temporary tent for them to heal.

It would take some time, Sam isn’t any rush to attack, he just hovered with his arms crossed and his soldiers are also recuperating.

The situation would have been ideal and most beneficial for the Peac.o.c.k’s side, but peac.o.c.k just has to spoil it.

He was now on the central watch post on the town wall, he looked at Sam and his soldiers with an incredibly hateful gaze.

He opened his mouth as he shouted on top of his lungs.

"How dare you, a filthy commoner, stand against me? How dare you even put up a fight? You should have obediently surrendered as soon as you have seen my noble self. You even dared to fight and even hurt my army.

I shall make you regret it, come in to the town if you dare."

Sam was amused by this rant. He was thinking on where this peac.o.c.k got the guts to shout at him like that. After all, Sam’s army just gave a great butt-kicking for them.

But his question was answered immediately.

"Don’t be full of yourselves, just for this. You have yet to see my full might. Do you think, just defeating the army is enough, you might not know, in a war when defending a city, citizens can help the army in dire states."

Sam’s smile vanished. He didn’t expect this to happen. He has to thank himself for not rushing into the town blindly. The second thought that came to his mind is that this guy is pretty stupid.

Their plan might be mixing the disguised soldiers into the citizens and they will attack Sam and his army as citizens. This is something he didn’t expect at all.

He thought, there might be some schemes but he never expected that there would this blatant and open scheme.

He observed his surroundings and noticed that no supervisor is objecting anything, so he this might not be against the rules or they might be even ignoring so that Sam could die.

Sam felt like thanking this peac.o.c.k. This idiot is brainless enough to blurt out the plan directly. If he just stayed mum, Sam and his army would have entered the gate sooner or later and the surprise attack would be almost unavoidable.

But this peac.o.c.k spoiled his own plans.

At this moment, the Deputy also heard the young lord’s words and he clenched his teeth in anger and resentment.

Having this backup plan is not only underhanded and it is also the shame to their army. Here they are valiantly fighting with their lives on line and the opponents also respected that, now all those lost lives will lose the opponent’s respect and if the word got out, rest of the army’s too.

After all, this is an agreement battle, with 500 vs 500. If they really did take citizens help that is a whole different thing, but if they deliberately kept the soldiers dressed as citizens, it is using a loop hole in agreement and in a way not honouring the deal.

But he has no say in it.

Outside Sam didn’t say anything and said his soldiers to standby. Right now, they are anxious and angry. Even they can see through the peac.o.c.k’s plan.

But since there is nothing much they can do even if they do get angry, they can only stay silent.

Sam just hovered for a minute from left to right as if he was looking for something.

After that, he ordered his soldiers to step back a little and then he took out something astounding.

A cannon.

This is new product. Actually, one of his new products. This cannon is same size of the old-time cannon. But it looked more like a turret.

The base is a cuboidal short column which were mounted on small wheels. There is a barrel was not as large as normal old days cannon, it is a bit slimmer and it was connected to the base. There was a lever in the base, so the barrel can be moved in vertical axis.

And another lever on the other side, to move in the horizontal axis.

the soldiers saw this for the first time.

The whole cannon is heavy and cannot be used for normal close quarters, but this can be used for city wall defence and for attacking some places like mansions or towers.

Right now, he is going to use this to tackle the town hall. The Greyish Black metallic l.u.s.tre along with its robust structure amazed the spectators.

He didn’t stop there, he moved towards one spot to another and similarly dropped another nine cannons.

After that, he asked all the fire users to come to the first cannon as he started demonstrating how to use them.

He took out a large bullet shaped green coloured crystal. This is the shell for the cannon and this is made of impact crystals.

He opened the back of the barrel and loaded the shell.

After that, he pulled a lever, the third one other than the first two rods impaled themselves into the ground acting like the support from the bottom of the column.

He placed his two arms on the either side of the barrel where there is a designated place for placing the palms.

He started channelling the spirtual energy which is obviously not his. This is from the energy cells that are placed inside the column.

At the same time, he placed his feet on the bottom of the column which seemed like a foot rest.

As soon as he placed his feet, the methane inside the column started entering some hollow pocket behind the shell in the barrel.

In two seconds...

*BOOM*

With a loud noise and flash of Blue spark at the end of the barrel, the shell made its way outwards towards the town hall.

The explosive nature of this special methane played its role well.

Within a second the shell reached the wall and

*BOOM*

Another explosion sounded, this time though, but this time, it is not of any fire type, this time it is a strong spiritual energy explosion and this is due to explosion of the shell made of the impact crystal.

There was a gaping hole left in the town wall and many cracks started expanding.

The impact crystal size and shape along with the distance of shooting as well as the methane explosion, these are the critical factors for this attack.

The impact crystal will absorb any kind of physical impact and force. Sam made some experiments and accurate calculations.

The position he kept the cannon is the ideal position for this. In this way, the shell sized impact crystal after taking the impact from the explosion as well as the kinetic energy of the travelling has absorbed enough spiritual energy and that caused the explosion to occur.

Right now, even if there is no wall at that point of impact it would have exploded.

This is the ideal distance and this demo is for a normal loading of the gas into the chamber.

This cannon even has various other modes so that they can vary the methane gas amount based in the distance of the target as well as the type of the target which influences the amount of impact the crystal would take up on crash.

This way there is a large attack range for this cannon, but for now, he is not keen on explaining this to his soldiers.

All they need to know was to shoot from this position to collapse the town wall.

The fire type users immediately made their way towards their cannons after taking the spatial rings that contained the shells from Sam.

Before the peac.o.c.k and his soldiers could make sense of the explosion caused by the shell, they are already barraged with the impact shells continuously.

The wall of this town is quite sturdy as this was a critical war zone. But now that sturdy wall started showing the signs of collapse at this moment.

The soldiers positioned on the town wall are being affected by the attacks and the first full hole was made at this moment and that is the place where Sam made the first hole.

He came down from his cannon and removed the supports as he pushed the cannon a bit forward. Then he started his shooting again.

Now, the shells started making its way inside the wall. Towards the town...
