Rattle rattle!
Heavy wheels grinding echoed from the rear of the battlefield.
An enormous trebuchet, several meters tall, was pushed to the front line by a small squad of the Imperial Army. Its structure was aesthetically pleasing, adorned with square iron plates resembling the scales of a cold-blooded animal, and its main components were linked and supported by rivets and gears.
At the base, there was even a steam boiler and giant spring sheets, making it look like a retro siege engine that had been merged with a product of 'modern' black technology.
Chen Lun had already dismounted from his carriage and was standing at the rear, watching such a trebuchet. He knew that the reason the Empire's extraordinary workshop had chosen to develop this type of old-fashioned siege engine was because of a special kind of ammunition!
