I Have A Game Clone

60 Welcome Gun Salutation

Back in the dormitory, Ning Shi locked the door, lay on the bed, and entered the game from first perspective.

As usual, he checked the system hack log.

[After defeating the Dark Moon Vanguards, the avatar held a victory banquet. During the banquet, he invited Snow Fog to dance with him. Character intimacy +3. Current character intimacy: 88.]

[The test of the magic core cannon was a success. Snow Fog was shocked by the power of the cannon and saw hope for revenge. Character intimacy +2. Current character intimacy: 90.]

[The avatar has treated Snow Fog to a meal a total of 6 times. Character intimacy +3. Current character intimacy: 93.]

Ning Shi was expressionless. The avatar’s style was really extremely upright! He was definitely not getting close to women. Dog head.jpg.

[The avatar killed an intermediate magical beast, thunder horn lizard. Experience points +200.]

[The avatar killed an intermediate magical beast, wind fire wolf. Experience points +200.]

…

In five days, the avatar and the Undying Trump Troop had killed nearly 100000 intermediate magical beasts, obtaining 4.5 million experience points.

Although there were a lot of magical beasts in the deserted north plains, they could not withstand such a massacre. Ning Shi decided to take it slow. After leveling up, the experience given by the intermediate magical beasts would decrease again. One intermediate magical beast only gave 100 experience.

[Bloodline warrior has leveled up to level 14 (1112000/20480000). Spiritual power +1, skill point +1, potential point +1.]

His profession level had increased again, and his spiritual power had reached 25. The skill points were directly added to Bajiquan.

Ning Shi couldn’t keep adding points to his swordsmanship. Although the damage would be extremely high if he was biased, his survivability would be poor.

He also had to take care of footwork and fist techniques. Bajiquan contained the profoundness of footwork. He planned to first add the skill points to Bajiquan and then improve Cloud Shadow Steps. He had to level both of these skills to Level 5 first.

[Bajiquan has been upgraded to Level 5. Fist technique master has been upgraded to fist technique grandmaster. Fist technique damage +100%.]

After reading the log and adding points, Ning Shi regained control of the avatar.

At this moment, Ning Shi was standing on the city wall, and next to him were Snow Fog, Amy, Yelina, Fox, and other key personnel of the city.

Faced with the honey-like affection in Snow Fog’s eyes, Ning Shi’s face was as calm as an old dog, but he was actually panicking inside. It was all the avatar’s fault!

“Boss, the Ole Empire’s 200000 men Eastern Expedition Army has arrived. They’ve split into two groups and are now stationed 3 kilometers away from the West City Gate. They’re probably waiting for the Elven Empire to arrive before launching an attack.”

“The Elven Empire’s 100000 men Full Moon Army and 1000 men Chimera Troop has already crossed the Wangnan River an hour ago and are expected to arrive in about four hours.”

After hearing the report from Snow Fog, no one showed any fear on their faces. Even the civil official Amy looked calm, as if she didn’t care about the 300000 incoming soldiers.

This was because these people were all witnesses during the magic core cannon’s experimental shooting. After the cannonball was fired, the magic explosion it produced could blow up a small hill.

There were hundreds of magic core cannons installed on every section of the city wall.

The power of a hundred cannons firing at the same time was comparable to super magic.

As long as he had enough magic cores, he could continuously cast super magic spells without stopping.

In the game world, the magic core smith’s ability to create magic core tools might not be as good as the industrial assembly lines in the real world, but their speed was not slow either.

Duohuang was an extremely rich land, and the consumption of magic core tools was extremely high. The magic core industry was very developed.

Ning Shi had recruited all the magic core craftsmen and tools in Duohuang, so he was able to produce hundreds of magic core cannons in a short five to six days.

Amy continued after Snow Fog.

“My Lord, during this period of time, you have led the Undying Trump Troop to hunt magical beasts and obtained a total of 5689 intermediate magic cores. I have also spent 400000 gold coins to buy 20000 beginner magic cores from various Chambers of Commerce.”

“Right now, we have 55000 beginner magic cores and 20000 intermediate magic cores. It’s more than enough to support over a thousand rounds of firing from the magic core cannons. We have more than enough magic cores in storage.”

Ning Shi nodded. Every time the magic core cannon fired, it would directly consume all the energy of a beginner magic core, while a intermediate magic core could support four shots.

After being drained of energy by the magic core cannon, the magic core would scatter into dust.

Each cannon would cost 20 gold coins to fire a shot. If they used intermediate magic cores, each shot would cost 25 gold coins.

That was why war was all about money.

Thinking of what Snow fog had said, Ning Shi asked, “What is the range of the magic core cannons? How do you ensure the accuracy of the shots?”

Elon stepped forward and answered the question, “My Lord, the magic core cannon’s maximum range is five kilometers. Although the cannons were fixed on the city wall, the main body of the barrel could be adjusted up, down, left, and right.”

“The cannon platform has a range adjustment scale on it, and there are a total of 500 units.”

“According to the current height of the city wall, the shooting range would increase by 10 meters with every small adjustment of the angle. A novice could also ensure the shooting accuracy of the cannon within a 10-meter radius.”

“If you go through repeated training, your shooting accuracy will be within 1 meter.”

Hearing this answer, Ning Shi’s eyes lit up.

Ole Empire’s Eastern Expedition Army had set up their camp only 3km away from the city wall, which was just within the shooting range of their cannons.

It would be unreasonable if they didn’t give them a welcome gun salute at this time.

With the servant contracts, Ning Shi’s control over Duohuang City reached an extreme, and all the voices of opposition in the city were eliminated.

After the great purge from the war, there were almost no enemy spies in the inner reaches of Duohuang.

There was too little time, and the two Empires didn’t have the time to send spies into Duohuang City to gather information. Or rather, the two empires didn’t even bother to gather information.

From their perspective, although Ning Shi’s troops had defeated the 50000 vanguards, they had no power to resist an army of 300000 people.

The only thing the two empires were worried about was how Brad empire would react to this.

Due to this mentality, the Eastern Expedition Army did not even prepare any siege weapons.

From what they knew, Duohuang did not have any city walls.

After setting up camp, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Calino, heard his spies report that a five-meter-tall city wall had been built around Duohuang. He almost thought that it was fake news.

Under such circumstances, the Eastern Expedition Army had no idea that Duohuang even had powerful long-range weapons like the magic core cannons. They had set up their camp three kilometers away from Duohuang city.

The 200,000 men army was divided into two camps, stationed on the left and right sides of the Western City Wall.

However, they were all within the range of the magic core cannons.

“Everyone, get ready for battle! Prepare the magic core cannons and attack the Eastern Expedition Army’s camp directly!”

“Snow Fog, prepare the Duohuang Artillery Force and get ready to leave the city at any time!”

“Yelina, increase the number of patrols by the city guards to ensure the order and safety of the city. If anyone is found to have any abnormal behavior, kill them without mercy!”

Under Ning Shi’s order, the magic core cannon shooting squad took the lead and climbed up the West city wall.

The shooting squad had a total of 500 people.

There were five people under each cannon. One of them was in charge of adjusting the angle and guiding the shots, one was in charge of loading the magic core, and the last one was in charge of transporting the magic core and observing the situation on the battlefield.

The other two were reserve members. If any of their team members were injured or killed, they could take over at any time.

In order to gain experience, Ning Shi had made sure long ago that the people in charge of shooting in the shooting squad were all servants of the Undying Trump Troop.

After about half an hour, Snow Fog reported loudly, “Boss, the magic core cannons are ready to fire!”

“The Artillery Force and Undying Trump Troop have quietly left the city and are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time!”

In the battle against the Ole Empire, Snow Fog brought along the moon elf troops that were previously captured. The Artillery Force now had 40000 people, and their long-range firepower was extremely strong!

When everything was ready, Ning Shi raised his hand and shouted loudly.

“All shooters! Listen to my command! Ready! Fire!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Accompanied by deafening sounds, a hundred magic core cannons fired at the same time.

Red balls of light the size of footballs were shot out with long flaming tails. They drew arcs in the air and landed accurately on the two camps of the Easter Expedition Army.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The campsite was blasted into huge pits, and many warriors were blown to pieces by the magic cannonballs.

A huge explosion sounded in all directions. The cavalry’s magical beast mounts were frightened and fled frantically around the camp.

The soldiers did not get the chance to react.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another round of cannonballs fell.

The military camp was in an uproar!

The magical beasts fled in all directions, and the crowd trampled on one another.

General Calino and a group of officers were trying their best to control the situation. They had just taken control of a portion of the army.

The magic core cannonballs came again, and one of them happened to land among the troops that Calino had just gathered.

Bang! The cannonball exploded!

Limbs flew and blood splattered everywhere. Not knowing where the enemy was attacking from, the army was overcame by fear and completely lost control.

After firing a total of twelve rounds of cannonballs, Ning Shi led the Undying Trump Troop to the camp where Calino was.

At this time, the Eastern Expedition Army had completely collapsed and could not organize any defense at all.

The Undying Trump Troop wreaked havoc in the camp, destroying everything. Even the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Calino, was stabbed to death by Ning Shi.

Not far from the camp, the Artillery Force on wind wolves controlled the distance and released long-range attacks.

The pursuit went on for more than an hour. Remembering that the Elven army was about to arrive, Ning Shi gave the order to clean up the battlefield and return to the city.

In the City Lord’s mansion, Snow Fog rushed in excitedly. The blue priest’s robe on her body was stained with blood.

“Boss, according to our rough calculations, we have annihilated about 110000 soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army, captured about 20000 people, and seized countless armors and supplies. Even if the rest of the Eastern Expedition Army regrouped, they would not be able to fight again without food and logistics!”

Ning Shi was very satisfied that this battle could achieve such an effect. The main reason for their landslide victory was that this was the first time the magic core cannons had been used on the battlefield, and the enemy was completely unprepared.

Out of the 110000 casualties, only about 30000 were killed by the magic core cannons. Most of them died from the stampede after the camp was blown up, as well as the pursuit of the Duohuang troops.

In this wave of battle, the magic core cannons and the Undying Trump Troop had killed about 50000 soldiers in total, and Ning Shi had obtained more than 40 million experience points.

[Bloodline warrior has leveled up to level 15 (24680000/40960000). Spiritual power +1, skill point +1, potential point +1.]

He leveled up again and saw his experience value continue to double. Ning Shi smiled bitterly in his heart.

After upgrading Bajiquan to Level 5, 2 skill points were needed for the next level up. Ning Shi planned to take the path of balanced development and added the new skill points to Cloud Shadow Steps.

[Cloud Shadow Steps has been upgraded to Level 4. Acquired special light body. Footwork speed +50%.]

Ning Shi activated his movement technique and his entire body turned into a shadow, flashing around the meeting hall. The Level 4 Cloud Shadow Steps was faster than the Level 3 one, and it also had an additional characteristic of making his body light.

Ning Shi tried it, and the current speed of the Cloud Shadow Steps was nearly twice as fast as before!

Although basic swordsmanship and Bajiquan also had footwork, they were not as good as Cloud Shadow Steps, which specialized in speed.

[Seeing the speed of your Cloud Shadow Steps, Snow Fog was greatly amazed. Character intimacy +1. Current character intimacy level: 94.]

He was now the apple of Snow Fog’s eye, so whatever Ning Shi easily impressed her and would increase their intimacy.

After testing the speed of his movement technique, Ning Shi sat back in the main seat and asked, “How’s the Elven army?”

“The Full Moon Army is advancing at a constant speed. They are currently 150 kilometers away from Duohuang City and are expected to arrive in two hours.”
