Chapter 390: Clearing the Mantis Plateau
After a simple training, the defenders of Panlongji opened the city gate and advanced toward the depths of the Mantis Plateau.
Almost all the Dragon Spine defenders in Kun-Lai Summit are members of the Shado-Pan.
They are all qualified Kung Fu Pandas.
Although they all know kung fu and can use their true energy to enhance the power of their fists and feet.
But they are not like the Pandaren monks in the game, who carry two weapons on their backs as decorations and fight the enemies entirely with their fists and feet.
Swords, guns, swords and halberds, heavy hammers and axes, bows, arrows and muskets, they all play well.
As long as weapons can be used to kill enemies, they are acceptable!
There are even pandaren soldiers taking to the battlefield with old-fashioned artillery.
The old-fashioned artillery was equipped with wheels and a gun mount, and could be easily towed by strong yaks.
Don't look at the backward appearance of this old-fashioned artillery.
The weight of the shell it fired was there.
An iron ball of more than 20 kilograms can fly over and create a bloody path covered with broken limbs and broken arms in the enemy group.
So when it comes to the battlefield, its power is still considerable!
Regardless of whether you fire explosive bullets or solid bullets, you can achieve good impact effects.
Even though Herard told them that placing the anti-aircraft guns flat had miraculous effects.
They still carry old things that have been used for thousands of years.
Even with better replacements, these old guns still have to run out of shells.
As the Pandaren army advanced on the Mantis Plateau, there were traces of looting everywhere along the way.
The mantid prey on everything in sight.
Edible fruits that are about to ripen, and even edible fruits that are not yet ripe, are all swept away by them.
Even though they knew the pandaren were not short of food, they still did this.
Because the main reason is that they lack food.
The Qiraji subsist on the nutrient solution produced by the hive buildings.
That kind of superb biotechnology was given to them by C'Thun.
Without the biotechnology provided by the Old Gods, the mantid were left to fend for themselves.
They use the most primitive way to obtain food resources.
This also makes them predatory and more aggressive.
Since the pandaren have a good military presence in the Mantis Plateau, the mantid's plunder will not stop them from growing.
They will choose to quickly collect available supplies, maximize their profits, and then run away.
The mantid use the sacred kypar trees scattered throughout as their bases.
So far, the only Kaipa sacred tree that the pandas have successfully controlled is the one on the island where Niuzao Temple is located.
Niuzao Temple is located on the island to the west of the Mantis Plateau. It is the territory of the Black Bull Venerable Niuzao.
It is an important support for the Pandaren to maintain their military power on the Mantis Plateau.
Of course, it was also the place where the Mantids attacked the most intensely.
The main purpose of Panlongji's dispatch this time was to go to Niuzao Temple and defeat the Mantid army.
After joining the team of Lord Black Bull, this army will advance from west to east, clearing out the mantids encountered along the way.
As for the sacred Kepa trees along the way, just suppress them enough.
It is very difficult to completely wipe out a Kaipa Sacred Tree.
It's not worth wasting energy and time there.
Corrivis is a mantid stronghold on the western side of the Mantid Plateau.
Inside this stronghold, there is a very tall sacred Kaipa tree.
The mantid built massive fortifications around the sacred kypar tree.
The passing pandaren army stopped and used old-fashioned artillery to bombard the sacred tree of Kaipa on the high ground.
Shrapnel from the shells flew in all directions, destroying the flowers and plants on the high ground and scratching the mantids moving outside.
Soon the angry mantid flying troops took off, ready to respond with bombs to the hateful pandaren.
Other mantids spread their wings and glide.
Their sickle-shaped forelimbs are already hungry!
The flying insect troops bombarded the Pandaren team with a wave of bombs.
Then the melee mantid rushes in and launches Wushuang.
This tactic has been used for thousands of years and always works.
But this time it’s different!
Before the flying insect troops could swoop in and drop bombs.
Those iron shells on the ground suddenly shot out dense rain of bullets.
The warheads containing powerful kinetic energy easily tore apart their bodies.
Broken limbs and bombs fell to the ground, hitting the mantid as it was descending the mountain. The other falling objects were okay, they just knocked down the mantid on the ground and caused some minor injuries.
The damage caused by those bombs was not small!
The mantid's bomb is a product of alchemy.
Even the rock-skinned mogu can be killed.
They failed to achieve any results and even injured one of their own.
The flying insect army can be said to be stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
The Mantid ground forces, which had lost the advantage of air-ground coordination, showed no signs of retreating.
They pounced fiercely on the pandaren arrayed below the mountain.
At this time, in the Pandaren army, the Pandaren Musketeers with new equipment were gearing up, waiting for the enemy to get closer.
The new gun can hit fixed targets at a distance of five thousand meters.
When shooting at a moving target, you still have to stay close.
After all, the enemy is a mantid.
These guys are exoskeleton creatures that can swerve while running fast without worrying about breaking their legs.
When the mantid reached a distance of five hundred meters, the pandaren musketeers began shooting.
Pandaren musketeers with rich shooting experience have impressive shooting accuracy!
Although not to the extent of a gun hit.
It is still possible to hit seven out of ten shots.
The enemies do not have long-range attack capabilities, and without psychological pressure, they are all marksmen.
Once you become more proficient, it will be possible to kill an enemy with one bullet.
In gun battles on the battlefield on Earth, soldiers will be headshot by lurking snipers when they step forward.
So no one showed up, just stretched out their guns and fired randomly.
On average, it takes tens of thousands of bullets to kill a person.
The status of guns on the modern battlefield has become a dispensable piece of equipment.
Attach small bombs to your drone to make it more enjoyable to find targets and bomb them!
Therefore, soldiers can also kill enemies by playing with their mobile phones.
But on the battlefield of Azeroth, which is still a mindless charge, guns can play a powerful role.
Is the enemy's armor too hard?
Increase the caliber, increase the charge, and inlay the bullet with harder metal to break armor.
The Qiraji gladiator's carapace was penetrated.
What does it mean to be a mere mantid?
If it weren't for the pandas being very martial minded, they wouldn't have chosen to level the anti-aircraft guns.
The mantids will all die in the charge.
Even so, after the destruction of the pandaren musketeers, the mantid assaulting the defense line was already very sparse.
Moreover, some of them were wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs and lost most of their combat effectiveness.
At this time, the pandas will not talk about martial ethics with them.
Spears, halberds, swords, axes, and hammers all came together.
After a flurry of slashing and smashing, all the mantids fell to the ground and turned into corpses.
"Is this the end? Isn't it too easy?"
"Do you want to go up and wipe out the remaining enemies?"
"Haha, the new weapons are so powerful!"
The soldiers discussed and cheered, and then left the battlefield.
Although there are still enemies left in the Kaipa Sacred Tree above.
But they had to go to Niuzao Temple first and join the defenders there.
As for the remaining enemies, they are no longer effective.
Not long after the Pandaren army left, Herad's figure appeared on the battlefield.
He had just finished collecting obsidian from the Kun-Lai Summit region and repairing the geological damage caused by mining.
Next is the Mantis Plateau, a place that also has great potential.
The geography of the Mantis Plateau is as strange as Kun-Lai Summit.
It rises to a high altitude, but then drops sharply, finally reaching sea level.
Except for a few huge islands in the western region, other places have been submerged by sea water.
In such a peculiar geographical environment, there may be abundant obsidian reserves.
Herard is looking forward to making big gains here.
