Chapter 274 The bug must die!
When night elves tame flying pets, they also choose raptors of suitable size.
Such as medium-sized owls and sparrowhawks.
If you are too large, you will be easily spotted by enemies, and the risk of being shot down will be higher.
Especially in desert areas like Silithus, those large birds can easily attract the attention of the Yaqir.
The flying pets spread out to look for targets and soon found a suitable target.
There are a lot of bugs gathering there, perfect for showing off the power of artillery.
However, compared with professional drones, the detection capabilities of flying pets are still too amateurish.
They can only let the artillery crew know where the attack target is.
It is unclear how far the target is from here and what the angle is.
Therefore, a first hit is impossible!
As expected, the first shot missed by several hundred meters, and it was a lonely shot.
The bugs that gathered to bask in the sun were startled by the explosion in the distance.
Fortunately, the bug's intelligence was very low and he didn't care why it exploded.
They continued to lie lazily on the sand, basking in the scorching sun.
However, after correcting the trajectory based on the impact point of the first shell, the second shell was very accurate.
Although it couldn't accurately fall into the center of the insect swarm, it still bit the edge of the insect swarm.
The cannonball hit an unlucky insect and instantly made it disappear without a trace.
Then violent fire and shock waves tore up the ground and swept across a large area with a radius of more than 100 meters.
The power of this explosion can clear the football field where the game is being played.
The dust raised by the explosion covered a large area around the impact point.
It looked like the entire insect swarm had been destroyed.
The night elves who saw this scene through their flying pets were full of praise for the power of the artillery.
Except for the loud noise of the cannon fire, they were very satisfied with everything else.
Only a fool would consider taking it apart and using it to make armor.
At this time, Herard asked them to direct the flying pets to fly at low altitudes and carefully observe the casualties of the insects.
Cannonballs can easily blow up ordinary people, and both shock waves and shrapnel can pose fatal threats.
The shock wave can shatter the internal organs of ordinary people.
The shrapnel flew hundreds of meters and could penetrate into the body of ordinary people.
But bugs are no ordinary people.
Their chitinous carapace is not that easy to deal with!
The night elves, who have been fighting them all year round, have come to the conclusion that they are better than steel.
The shrapnel of the artillery shell is made of steel, so it's hard to say whether it can produce effective killing effects.
The damage of the shock wave will also be greatly weakened.
When the dust cleared, Herard's guess was confirmed.
All insects within ten meters of the impact point of the cannonball died.
Most of the bugs ten meters away were still alive.
They suffered varying degrees of injuries and were struggling on the ground.
This is the difference between having protection and not having protection.
The fragile human body is vulnerable even when wearing a heavy body armor.
It cannot withstand the shock wave caused by the explosion of large-caliber artillery shells.
Those bomb disposal experts protect themselves very well, in fact, just to make their death less ugly.
It's different if you switch to the Aqir Zerg!
Their average defense is comparable to that of armored vehicles, and some types even surpass heavy tanks.
To deal with such a monster, the 155mm caliber is a bit insufficient.
What Herard wanted was to kill one piece with one shot.
Instead of killing a few of them with one shot and injuring them all.
The less injured insects had already struggled to stand up and look around, then roared at the low-flying birds.
Everyone quickly directed their pets to increase their flying height to avoid further irritating the bugs.
If the land bugs call flying bugs, it will inevitably be a bit troublesome!
After seeing the effect of the artillery fire, Staghelm was very satisfied with the power of the artillery.
Those seriously injured bugs would definitely not survive for more than half a day.
The harsh climate of the desert will take care of them.
He easily killed dozens of bugs without even leaving the fortress. This is definitely the most perfect weapon in Staghelm's mind!
He rubbed the barrel excitedly, not caring that it was a bit hot.
"This weapon is so easy to use! Explode first and then clean it up, the danger to the soldiers will be reduced a lot!"
Seeing that he was so satisfied with the weapon, Herard touted the advantages of the weapon.
"This is called beyond-visual-range combat. It's necessary to use it!
Look at those stupid bugs, they don't know who is fighting them!"
The night elves deeply agreed with this.
However, more than twenty kilometers is called beyond visual range combat, and I don’t feel ashamed to say it.
There is really no clear regulation on the earth about the length of the distance for beyond-visual-range combat.
However, it must be at least tens of kilometers away to be considered beyond visual range combat.
Can more than 20 kilometers be counted as dozens of kilometers? It’s obviously a bit forced!
If those bugs were smarter, they would find the launch site of Cenarion Fortress based on the flight trajectory of the cannonballs.
The night elves, who knew nothing about the market, felt that they had found a treasure this time.
Under the guidance of the rangers, they continued to attack the bugs on the surface of the nest.
The novices used two knives to operate, causing a deflected cannonball to happen to hit the huge arthropod of the insect nest that stretched into the sky.
Seeing the huge jointed limbs trembling continuously after being blasted, the night elves laughed happily.
The ruthlessness of the night elves is much stronger than that of the high elves!
After emptying the equipped artillery shells, they stopped with unsatisfied intentions.
The insects took a heavy toll, much to the delight of everyone.
Tyrande, who had almost total military and political power, made the decision on the spot.
"Young man, let's go to the fortress hall to discuss specific procurement matters."
When the onlookers heard this, they were even more excited than Herad.
When it comes to discussing procurement matters, there will basically be no problems.
The soldiers cheered.
This is definitely something worth celebrating!
If they had a choice, who would want to fight those bugs head-on?
The fortress hall of Cenarion Fortress looks like an exquisite large wooden house.
In fact, it is a living tree.
Druids used natural magic to construct this living wood structure.
This kind of genetically distorting plants is not natural at all.
But in a desert with severe water shortage, neither logging nor burning bricks is realistic.
Building a house this way is the most environmentally friendly option.
And living wood buildings can also improve the desert environment.
It’s just that the water source here is so small, expansion is very difficult!
Entering the fortress hall where the temperature dropped significantly, Herard was very impressed by the druid's methods.
They are masters of construction and agriculture.
In a normal environment other than a desert, the combat effectiveness is also first-class!
Fortunately, Druid has this biggest constraint.
Otherwise, how to impress them is a problem.
Herard has a detailed list of everything from weapons and armor to thermal weapons.
The military personnel headed by Tyrande focused on weapons and armor, especially Thorium arrows.
The night elves' regular troops are dominated by archers.
Thorium arrows are naturally the most attractive.
Of course, regular fine steel arrows are in greater demand.
After all, there aren't that many enemies that need Thorium arrows to deal with.
The druids are concerned about thermal weapons that can play a huge role in desert areas.
Containing or even eliminating bugs is the lifelong dream of druids.
Because as long as bugs still exist, the environmental problems of the desert cannot be improved.
Finally, we got water and planted the tree alive.
The bugs will be plucked out and eaten in minutes.
They don't need to eat trees to survive.
But it just has to deal with the tree planted by the Druid.
Deliberately eating the tree planted by the druid, the beam not only formed, but also became tightly knotted!
No matter what, the bugs must die!
