Chapter 451: Sand Vulture Air Raid
In addition to the steel curtain defense, it is not Bai Yuqi's style to not fight back when he is beaten.
Ever since I saw this kind of strange birdman who can fly in the Caspian Sea defense line of the Tang Dynasty space-time.
Bai Yuqi, who also found their traces on the ash wasteland, had already prepared for "air defense".
The halfling snipers who were originally deployed in the dune area on the periphery of the Ash Alliance's defense line withdrew from the periphery after completing the first wave of sneak attacks because the opponent's cannon fodder troops were too dense.
The 300-meter range of the Airburst Sniper refers to the accurate range rather than the maximum range.
With the density of the layers of sand vultures, there is no need to aim carefully at all, and Natsuhime can shoot a lot with his eyes closed.
The Sand Vulture Man's throwing spear, although it can condescendingly take advantage of the altitude, needs to be close to a certain range if it wants to aim accurately.
So as long as the Sand Vulture dares to get close to the range of the Airburst Sniper, the paralyzing steel needles of the Halfling Sniper are enough to let them know what it means to be in free fall.
As for bypassing the obstruction of the Ash Legion and directly attacking Ember City and disintegrating the defenses of the Ash Alliance from within?
Is it really fun to put on the forbidden air circle?
The first wave of the Sand Vulture Flying Legion was aimed at the Ash Legion on the second line of defense.
Because the Ash Legion on the first line of defense has been mixed up with the Humanoid Alliance, the Sand Vulture is not sure that the spear will not affect the Alliance.
Although they certainly don't care, and kill a few sand jackals and wasteland goblins or something, after all, they usually take these races that can only run on the ground as prey.
But the purpose of the alliance is, after all, to attack Ember City.
Without the help of other humanoid races, it would be difficult for them to take Ember City without ground combat.
Therefore, after discovering that it was difficult to pose a threat to the anti-aircraft steel curtain with their guns, many sand vultures scattered in all directions to find suitable sized rocks in the wasteland to bomb them...... This was one of the Sand Vultures' best attacking methods.
However, the heavy tower shield in the hands of the Gobi dwarves is obviously not something that small stones can threaten, and they can only use heavy enough stones and high enough height to impact them.
But the sand vulture people who carried heavy stones could not fly high or fast, and they flew slowly with stones the size of half their bodies, and they directly became the live targets of the halfling snipers, and even the people and stones were smashed down, and a solid stone rain fell on the stormtroopers of the humanoid alliance.
The sand jackals, gravel barbarians, and wasteland goblins who are preparing to rush into the battlefield below are smashed with their skin and flesh and their heads bleeding, which perfectly embodies what it means to "protect the enemy and hit your teammates".
Regarding this comical operation of the sand vulture people, Bai Yuqi, who was watching the battle from the rear, almost didn't laugh out loud.
Fortunately, they have obvious vulture-like characteristics, otherwise he would have suspected that they evolved from some kind of eagle bird.
Strange to say, the population base of the humanoid races in the Ash Wastes is generally higher than that of the subhuman races.
Not to mention the uncountable number of sand lizardmen, and the tens of millions of goblins in the three sub-races, the number of sand jackals is also in the millions.
On the contrary, although they have certain beast characteristics, the gravel barbarians closest to humans in form are the least numerous, only a few million.
This is probably related to the fact that the group of organisms with mammal characteristics is stronger and more adaptable to harsh environments.
The smaller the size, the larger the number, it may also be the reason why the smaller the creatures consume less and are more tolerant to extreme environments.
In general, the number of oviparous races is much higher than that of viviparous races.
The sand lizard and the sand vulture people happen to lay eggs, and in the process of adapting to the evolution of the environment, they enhance their reproductive ability to enhance the survival and continuation advantages of the group in the harsh environment.
The sheer scale of the Sand Vulture is huge, and it is a bit too busy to rely on hundreds of thousands of halfling snipers at the level of "intermediate warriors".
Although the airburst sniper processed by the assembly line of the Yingzhou Construction Factory has a burst function, it can reach a rate of fire of five rounds per second without considering the shooting accuracy and ultimate range.
However, the halfling snipers' unskilled reload speed seriously hindered the continuity of their attacks and the saturation of their firepower.
So much so that it was gradually unable to suppress it, and the halfling snipers had already discovered the sneak attack, and launched a retaliatory counterattack with the death charge of the sand vultures.
A large number of sand vultures suicidally pounced down from the air, using their bodies and outstretched wings to block the steel needles fired by the halfling snipers.
After being shot, he even simply smashed headlong into the halfling sniper position on the ground, and while his flesh and blood were blurred, his bones and tendons were broken, he also caused damage to the halflings like meat bullets.
It was also because of the large number of sand vultures who committed suicide and charged for the opportunity to get close to the sniper position for their counterparts in the rear.
Like an eagle catching a chicken, the sand vulture snatched a halfling sniper with his talons and rose into the air desperately.
After flying to a certain height, it let go of the opponent and smashed it back into the sniper position as a bomb, causing heavy casualties to the halflings.
If it was just an air attack by the Sand Vulture Mancorpus Bullet, the halfling snipers protected by light intelligent armor would have been injured at best, but after being brought to a high altitude and then thrown down, the impact caused by gravitational acceleration would really not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, as soon as these mid-level halfling warriors are pounced on by the Sand Vulture and taken into the sky, they will immediately throw away the Air Burst Sniper in their hands and draw out the trumpet dragon tooth blade to launch a counterattack, as long as they break free before the Sand Vulture rises to a dangerous height, it is not a big problem.
You must know that the benefits of the Ash Alliance are much higher than when they were originally in the tribe.
Originally, a mid-level warrior like them, a powerful tribe might be able to distribute a Sand Vulture Cup of Life Source in five days.
It may take ten days for a weaker tribe to be allocated a sand vulture cup, and it is not impossible for a smaller settlement to be distributed once every half a month.
As a result, they did not dare to touch it at all, nor did they dare to use the "dark fire power" accumulated in their bodies, for fear of burning their internal organs.
However, after joining the Ashes Alliance, aside from the benefits of one Sand Vulture Cup per day distributed by the tribe and the five Sand Vulture Cups that he received for his service to Ash City, the military benefits allocated by the Ash Legion alone have ten Sand Vulture Cups of life every day.
In other words, according to the weights and measures announced by Ash City, they can consume at least 160 ml of Life Source every day, which is enough to consume the previous two or three months, which was something that they would not even dare to imagine before.
