Chapter 212 [Bug War]
Zutona's formal war with the xenomorphs broke out in the sixth month of the third year of the Tonatian calendar.
Tonatiu flew into the sky on Rulu, flanked by Santis Hazuki on a Horned Hippogriff and several sentries who were also riding a Hippogriff.
And, of course, two Titan trolls riding pterodactyls.
Don't look at the Titan Troll's size, strong and tall, riding on a ten-meter-long pterodactyl, like an adult riding a flying ostrich.
It looks like it's very discordant.
But in fact, the Titan Trolls just look big, they are semi-energy creatures, and they don't weigh as much as they seem.
"Xenomorphs are cruel and not afraid of life and death. And it advances and retreats together, which is very similar to the habits of ants. On the battlefield, it is a very terrible enemy. ”
The ethereal voice of Santis Feather Moon, which could not be stopped even by the strong wind in the sky, naturally reached Tonatiu's ears.
"But without the command of the Chira Worms, they would be just a pack of ferocious beasts. No matter how cruel or savage, the intelligent race can always overcome them. ”
"Just like today." Tonatiu said. "Victory is within reach."
"Yes."
Santis Hazuki said, "It's within reach! ”
Below.
The first wave of the trolls' offensive began.
Hundreds of triceratops, they had light trebuchets on their backs, and some balls about half a meter in diameter on their bowls, which were the ammunition fired by the trebuchets.
This ammunition is an incendiary bomb made by the trolls' goblin technicians, mixed with cotton and tar from the Angolo crater and some special materials, in special proportions.
"Prepare for the fire!"
Standing on the head of a triceratops, a goblin shouted in the language of a troll using a device that resembled a trumpet on Earth.
This goblin is Nogferg.
In order to secure his position as the leader of the goblins, Nogferg is not replaced by other goblins. He volunteered to participate in the war as a staff advisor to the Troll Technical Force.
At the moment, he was wearing a suitable suit of armor, made of fine Tyrannosaurus skin and some metal armor, which fit his small size.
The cost of this suit of armor is very high, and he paid for the production of it himself, which makes Nogferg himself very distressed.
Luckily, goblins are small in size, and even if the materials are expensive, they don't need much.
Nogferg, who went to the battlefield for the first time, gritted his teeth and did such a thing for the sake of his own life.
"Ignition!"
The shrill voice of the goblin was transmitted through a specially designed engineering device throughout half of the battlefield.
With the goblin order.
Hundreds of movable trebuchets were researched and designed by the goblins, assembled by the Troll Apprentice and the Goblin Engineering Mentor, and the ammunition was ignited at the same time.
Nogferg took his finger, put it in his mouth and licked it, then handed it to the air and felt the direction of the wind.
"Northwest wind! Excellent direction! Level 3 wind speed! The angle of the trebuchet arm is 11 degrees to the right, and the angle of the throwing arm is 3 degrees to the left! ”
"Target, a thousand ancestral yards ahead!"
"Three, two, one...... Projection! ”
Bang bang bang!
A continuous muffled sound sounded, and hundreds of large fireballs were projected far away into the exact position and angle with a tailwind.
Boom Boom!
The incendiary bomb smashed to the ground and shattered, and the flames spread in the hive, and the fragmented incendiary shrapnel turned into a sea of high-temperature fire, burning the nearby xenomorph insects to a chirp!
Due to the harassment preparations in the early stage, it was only after the fire fell from the sky that the xenomorphs discovered the arrival of the troll army.
But at this time, in the hive, an area has turned into a sea of fire.
Under the command of some high-level xenomorph insects, countless low-level xenomorph insects frantically poured out of the caves of the hive, fearless of life and death, and pounced on the sea of fire.
Even if it is burned to the point of chirping, the burned carapace falls, and the insect meat is cooked, he is not afraid to continue to rush forward wave after wave.
There was a disgusting smell in the hive.
The smell of incendiary bombs emitted after they burn violently.
There are also disgusting flavors such as roasted insect meat, roasted insect legs, roasted insect shells, etc., accompanied by burning flames and burning insects.
For a moment, the hive looked like hell.
This hell is a hell for xenomorphs, and neither trolls nor night elves can be soft-hearted.
The projection continues.
With the continuous shouting of Nogferg, at least thousands of incendiary bombs of the same type were smashed into the nest of corruption.
on the sky.
Witnessing all this, Santis Hazuki couldn't help but let out a voice of admiration to Tonatiu next to him:
"Your Majesty, you are truly a tactical genius. Kadore is too dependent on nature and skill, and our ballista is very penetrating. But it doesn't have such a lethal effect on insects. ”
Tonatiu smiled, shrugged and didn't speak.
Throwing incendiary bombs with trebuchets and clearing the way with incendiary bombs, this tactic was proposed by Tonatyiu.
Then the goblins will perfect the technique, the cadore will refine the formation, and the trolls will execute it after training.
Today is the first official use.
As for how Tornathius came up with this tactic - isn't it all about firepower in the wars on Earth after the 20th century?
The most typical is the Midi, anyway, the missiles wash the ground first, the strategic bombers bomb another wave, the army artillery fires another wave, and then the bombers are ready to come again......
And the same is true of the rabbit's tactical thinking. When you're poor, tactics are interspersed, and when you're rich, it's not a TMD to up!
I also have to mention, hmm...... Kadore's second World Tree, Teldashir.
It was burned to death by the tribe's trebuchet throwing incendiary bombs. Let the most glorious Cadore, become a joke in Azeroth.
After formally integrating and absorbing the Zurfarak army, the first wave of Tonatyiu's offensive against his army was to suppress it with a wave of long-range firepower!!
If there is a cannon, if there is no cannon, use the trebuchet for the time being.
Regardless of whether TM has any effect, fry it first!
So far, this tactic seems to be very good, and it has even been praised by Santis Hazuki, who has seen the battle of the ancients.
The only pity is that the production rate and quantity of incendiary bombs are not very sufficient, and hundreds of troll engineering apprentices, led by goblin engineering technicians who are skilled in this field of engineering technology.
In more than a month, only a few thousand pieces were produced.
It was only enough to project for about half an hour, turning an area of about ten square kilometers in front of the hive into a sea of fire.
The area of a Corrupted Nest is hundreds of square kilometers in size, and such a covering attack is only a small part of the front.
In the face of an enemy like Xenomorphs that has no long-range countermeasures, Tornathius is eager to prepare tens of thousands of trebuchets and drop hundreds of thousands of incendiary bombs to completely turn the entire hive into a sea of fire!!
