Chapter 15 Promotion of Hot Weapons
When Herad teleported back to Silvermoon City with a large amount of weapons, Jindi also left Dalaran in a hurry.
However, there is currently no portal connecting Dalaran to the dwarf main city of Gnomeregan.
He could only fly back in a helicopter.
The straight-line distance between Dalaran and Gnomeregan is about two thousand kilometers.
But there is a huge bay between the two places.
It is impossible for a helicopter to fly straight across the sea, which is at least 500 kilometers.
After going around the edge of the bay and landing several times to replenish fuel and rest, we could successfully reach Gnomeregan.
Flying mounts such as griffins also use this flight route.
Flying thousands of kilometers in one breath is something only extraordinary creatures like dragons can do.
When Jin Di drove the roaring helicopter, Herad had already left Silvermoon City and was flying through the forest on a chocobo.
The area where Silvermoon City is located is called Eversong Forest by the high elves.
The trees here are more affected by the Sunwell.
The leaves are golden yellow, making it look like autumn has arrived.
However, the rustling autumn cold will never come to Yongge Forest!
As long as the Sunwell is not destroyed, the climate here will always be neither hot nor cold.
Under the high concentration of energy from the Sunwell, the trees in Yongsong Forest are evolving at an accelerated pace.
The old enough trees in the forest have successfully evolved into tree men, able to pull their roots out of the soil and walk slowly in the forest.
But even if the tree people give birth to wisdom, they don't like to move around.
How can a tree walk on the ground?
These intelligent trees prefer to quietly observe what’s going on in the forest.
For example, watch a lynx prey on small animals, or watch a high elf fight a forest troll.
Herard ran through the forest on his chocobo, and soon attracted the attention of the ancient trees.
They pay special attention to young elves who care for nature.
However, what Herad is going to do today has nothing to do with caring for nature.
He ran into a camp where many high elves were stationed.
The ancient trees observed the activities inside the camp through the flowers, plants and trees outside the camp.
The camp that Herard entered was a training camp for high elf rangers near Silvermoon City.
Many novice rangers receive training in the camp.
Sylvanas is the top leader of this training camp.
During her daily training, she wore a tight-fitting set of green leather armor.
Although the leather armor was tightly wrapped, it perfectly showed off her curvy figure.
When Herard came over with a long-barreled musket, she was shooting with the ancestral bow.
Seeing the bow string passing by the towering mountain peaks, Herard always felt frightened.
Archery is more suitable for men, while women must be flatter to be safe.
However, weapons such as muskets are not particular about size and are very suitable to replace bows and arrows.
However, after Sylvanas tried firing, she dug her ears in frustration.
The sound of this weapon was so loud that she instantly lost interest.
She felt that her own Windrunner battle bow was more useful.
This is the divine bow that was once blessed by the moon god Elune.
Every arrow shot by the divine bow will be attached with powerful wind element energy.
With the blessing of wind element energy, the arrow flies faster and more stably, and is silent.
Only when the enemy is hit by an arrow will they realize that they have been attacked.
This is similar to bullets.
However, arrows with wind energy attached to them are much more powerful than bullets.
The power of wind is expressed in kinetic energy, which means super penetration and cutting.
Sylvanas once shot the troll headhunter and the tree behind him in two.
With such an artifact-level weapon, it's normal to look down on long-barreled muskets.
Her lieutenant, Lor'themar Theron, was very interested in this simple and crude weapon.
After firing a few shots, he gave a very fair evaluation.
"Except for the loud sound, this weapon is very good in other aspects!"
After hearing the second-in-command's comments, the rangers all picked up the weapons provided by Herad to try them out.
The experience of shooting bows and arrows is somewhat similar to that of firearms.
They hit the target quickly.
In addition to getting started smoothly, they also discovered more advantages of the musket. The bullets of the musket are small, and a small cloth bag can hold two to three hundred rounds.
There are more than twenty arrows in a pot of bows and arrows, occupying a large position.
Although the magic equipment of high elves is relatively common, space props are not as bad as in the game.
The magic bag with the smallest space starts at a hundred gold coins.
Rangers from big families will be equipped with larger magic bags.
Ordinary rangers have the smallest magic bag, which is already a very good configuration!
After putting some necessary supplies in the magic bag, there are few places where you can put arrows.
Therefore, long-barreled muskets have great appeal to rangers.
The only flaw is that it's too loud.
In addition to damaging the shooter's ears, it also easily attracts enemies from a distance.
However, there is a solution to this flaw.
Herard introduced the principle and structure of the silencer to Jindi.
As long as the dwarf engineers have a research direction, it is not a problem to create a silencer.
Herard confidently assured the rangers.
"There is a way to solve the sound problem. The finished product will definitely satisfy everyone." When
the rangers heard the good news, they no longer hesitated and started testing the long-barreled musket more actively.
Seeing his subordinates actively trying new weapons, Lor'themar immediately made suggestions to Sylvanas.
"Sister, this weapon is really good and worth promoting!"
Sylvanas didn't need a "bang bang bang" musket.
But she won't ban her subordinates from using this weapon just because she doesn't need it.
And this weapon was recommended by Herad.
If the overall problem is not big, there will definitely be no problem in mass adoption!
"You should practice this weapon first. Then go to the border and let your record speak for itself." After
receiving the agreement from the leader, the rangers no longer hesitated.
"Give me one to practice with."
"I want one too."
"The price of this bullet is so cheap!"
Arrows are worthless on an industrially developed earth.
You can buy one for just a few bucks.
Although Azeroth has a large-scale industry.
But only dwarves and goblins have it.
Both races like to "bang bang bang" and have no interest in making arrows.
Dwarf: "Can you use machines to make arrows?"
Dwarf: "Do you want to know about muskets?"
Dwarf: "What I want are arrows!"
Dwarf: "Then I recommend this repeating musket."
Dwarf: "Ahhhh, What I want are arrows!"
The dwarves of the past worshiped battle axes and crossbows.
Through the subtle influence of the gnomes, they turned to thermal weapons.
However, it is indeed a very good tactic to bombard with artillery first, then use steam tanks to lead the battle, and soldiers and musketeers advance together!
The high elves cannot copy everything.
But the muskets can be promoted first.
Simple and easy to use, but also powerful.
When civilians start practicing, they can also act as half rangers.
Warriors and knights can also use it as a ranged strike before charging.
The ranger alternates between bows, arrows and muskets according to the current situation.
However, Herard is a time traveler, and he is very sensitive to the lack of firepower.
The firepower of the musket was not that good, and it still didn't meet his standards.
So he came up with the idea of machine guns and automatic rifles.
These powerful firepower weapons are easy to come up with.
Just make the large-caliber aircraft cannon smaller and more suitable for hand-holding.
Technological weapons are all about firepower intensity.
The enemy will surely be very happy by the time the squad sets up his machine gun!
