Chapter 118 Siegecrafter Urban and His Giant Catapult

The messenger left. On the Temple of Carthenon, Margok watched the brown dot leave the city step by step.

He didn't leave much words, but it caused a lot of discussion among the Gorians in the city. Almost everyone knew that the orcs were here to negotiate peace. With the secret encouragement of some people, they even knew the orcs' conditions.

As long as the King of Witchcraft is willing to surrender, the orcs will retreat and the city can avoid the war, which is good for everyone.

But not everyone is willing to accept this result. Many ogres, especially those in the army, angrily criticize the orcs for their arrogance and want to fight them to the death.

Some ogres even issued a reward, saying that whoever could kill any of their kings and chiefs would be rewarded with gold equal to his own weight.

This sentence spread quickly, and Nergo also heard it.

"Although I haven't weighed the ogres, I also know that those fat people are definitely not light."

He smiled and said to the soldiers beside him: "I didn't understand until today that my head, an ordinary shaman's, can be worth so much?"

"Hahahahaha." The soldiers around him laughed like him.

"Since the ogre is generous, I can't be a stingy person." Nergo took out a pen and paper and wrote, "Post this on the bulletin board."

I saw that the scroll said: Anyone who can make new weapons that are helpful in siege will be rewarded with gold as high as his height.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Under the temptation of so much gold, people came to sell some strange weapons to Nergo every few days.

An orc peon named Urban is one of them.

Like other peons, Urban is thin and not good at fighting, but Urban also has a heart to contribute to the clan and win a bright future.

But what future can there be by building houses? So after much thought, he found a Draenei technician to learn a forging technique during this period of frequent exchanges between Draenei and the orcs.

It is said that the Draenei technician is good at building a siege weapon called a cannon, but it's a pity that he didn't understand it.

But he was not without gains. Through the teachings of Delaney technicians and the works of other blacksmiths, he tinkered with a new type of catapult - he called it the Urban catapult.

After testing the power of the catapult, Urban straightened his back and proudly waited for the king to summon him.

He believes that he will succeed.

Finally, the day came, and Nergo did not keep him waiting too long.

The overlord's soldiers found him, and the orcs in full armor arrived at the door of his forge - he preferred to call him Lab, like the draenei.

"Are you Urban? The blacksmith who created the weapon that can knock down the walls of Highmaul?" The soldier's eyes sparkled as he looked at the black war beast in front of him. He seemed to have seen this big guy showing off his power and excitement. In the meantime, he even reached out and patted Urban on the shoulder.

Although the peon's status in the clan is not high, he has become a blacksmith, which shows that he is a useful orc, and naturally the previous discrimination and contempt no longer exist.

"Come on, tell me how this thing can show its power?" The soldier put his arm around Urban's shoulders affectionately, walked to the front of the catapult, and stroked it as if he were stroking his lover.

Urban was a little stunned, which made the soldiers who didn't get a reply a little anxious, or dissatisfied?

He raised his voice, but was stopped by the soldiers accompanying him.

"The king is still waiting for him. You will have plenty of time to study this thing after it is copied by the blacksmith and assigned to us."

The soldier thought for a while and found that it was true. He clicked his tongue and dusted Urban off, "Quick, quick, pack up the things you need to prepare. The king is waiting for you and your family in the open space outside the city. Where are the weapons?"

The rumbling catapult was quickly sent outside the city by the soldiers and its makers.

Nergo looked at this huge catapult with a look of surprise on his face. This behemoth reached an astonishing eight meters in height alone, and according to Urban, he could launch a projectile weighing more than two tons. Huge boulders.

Nergo didn't know how these scary statistics and the somewhat unscientific catapult were created, but he was happy to try the wisdom from the orcs.

Don't ask, ask and it's the magical world.

"Are you Urban?" Nergo asked.

This very crude name left a deep impression on him in Nergo's mind.

"Yes, my king." Urban said excitedly: "This is a siege weapon that I combined the technology of the draenei and the technology of our orcs. As long as we launch an attack, it is not difficult to destroy dozens of miles with one blow. "

Destroyed for dozens of miles... What kind of powerful general cannon?

Nergo was a little helpless and waved his hand, "I look forward to his performance."

Take a look at the power of this "German-Yi Cannon".

"Prepare the catapult."

He didn't know what the relationship between this hard worker and the medieval siege craftsman was, and he didn't know whether the catapult was as powerful as the Urban cannon. He just hoped that this thing wouldn't explode like the Urban cannon.

Wait, does the catapult explode?

"Let go!" The strong soldier let go of the thick rope. In the sound of wind, the boulder flew through the air, and actually made a bottomless hole directly under the wall of Highmaul.

Nelgo used his vision spell to clearly see the damage caused by the boulder hitting the wall of Highmaul.

Also saw the funny stupidity of the frightened ogre.

He was very satisfied with this power and range. He could effectively strike Highmaul Castle from his own fortress. This orc named Urban might have built the 8th version of the intercontinental catapult?

"Very powerful!" Urban said with some pride. He didn't know how powerful his catapult was during this test, but looking at Nergo's satisfied expression, he knew that he was going to make a fortune this time.

Nergo patted Urban on the shoulder and praised: "You did a good job!"

"Come here!" He immediately ordered: "Take him to get the gold."

"Take the gold as high as his height."

Urban was stunned. He was a little dazed at this time. Really give him the same gold as his height?

The orc warriors next to him looked at him enviously. This kid was rewarded with so much gold just for making a catapult?

As tall as his height, that's more than two meters of gold! Can this kid spend it all?

Urban suddenly came to his senses and realized something. He looked at Nergo with a grateful look, but Nergo just waved his hand, signaling him to go down and give him the best treatment as a craftsman.

The orcs outside the city did not stop their preparations for the siege.

Thousands of laborers were hammering, and the Urban catapult and other small catapults and other armor and weapons were carried out from the blacksmith shop one by one by the laborers. The hammering sound day and night soon spread to Highmaul.

Everyone was guessing what terrible weapons the orcs were making in the atmosphere of fear.

Margok wanted to send someone to investigate, but the orcs cut off his ears and dug out his eyes and threw him back to the city.

"Are they making weapons for the Draenei?" Margok didn't know, and the ogre mages didn't know either, but they knew that the orcs' attack was coming.

This day finally came, and the siege began.

The orcs seemed to be telling him that the attack would not stop as long as he did not surrender.
