The official war between Zutona and the Silithids broke out in the sixth month of the third year of the Tonatiu calendar.
Tonatiu was flying in the sky on Lulu, and beside him were Shandis Feathermoon who was riding a hippogryph, and several sentries who were also riding hippogryphs.
Of course, there are also two Titans riding pterodactyls.
Despite the size of the Titan, it is strong and tall. Riding on a ten-meter-long pterodactyl is like an adult riding a flying ostrich.
It looks very disharmonious.
But in fact, the Titans just look big in size. They are semi-energy creatures and are not as heavy as they look.
"The alien bugs are cruel and fearless of life and death. They also advance and retreat together, which is very similar to the habits of ants. They are very formidable enemies on the battlefield."
Shandris Yuyue's ethereal voice could not be blocked even by the strong wind in the sky, and it naturally reached Tonatiu's ears.
"But without the command of the Qiraji, they are just a group of ferocious beasts. No matter how cruel and savage they are, a wise race can always defeat them."
"Just like today," Tonatiu said. "Victory is within reach."
"Yes."
Shandris Feathermoon said: "It's within reach!"
below.
The first wave of troll offensive began.
There were hundreds of Triceratops, with light trebuchets on their backs, and some half-meter-diameter balls placed on the throwing bowls, which were the ammunition fired by the trebuchets.
This kind of ammunition is an incendiary bomb made by the goblin technicians of the trolls, using cotton and tar from Un'Goro Crater, mixed with some special materials, and mixed in a special ratio.
"Get ready to light the fire!"
Standing on the head of a triceratops, a goblin shouted loudly in Troll language using a device similar to a trumpet on Earth.
This goblin is Noggenfogg.
In order to secure his position as the leader of the goblins and not be replaced by other goblins, Noggenfogg volunteered to participate in this war as a staff advisor to the troll technical troops.
At the moment, he is wearing a suitable suit of armor, which is made of fine Devilsaur skin and some metal armor pieces to fit his small figure.
The cost of this set of armor was very high, and he paid for it himself, which made Nogfogg himself feel very distressed.
Fortunately, goblins are small in size, so even if the materials are expensive, they don't require many materials.
Noggenfogg, who was on the battlefield for the first time, gritted his teeth and did this for the sake of his own life.
"ignition!"
The goblin's high-pitched voice spread throughout half of the battlefield through the specially-made engineering device.
Following the goblin's orders.
Hundreds of movable trebuchets were researched and designed by goblins, and assembled by troll apprentices and goblin engineering mentors. The ammunition was ignited at the same time.
Nogfogg took his finger, put it into his mouth, licked it, and then held it up in the air to feel the direction of the wind.
"Northwest wind! The direction is excellent! Level 3 wind speed! The angle of the trebuchet arm is 11 degrees to the right, and the throwing string is 3 degrees to the left!"
"Target, one thousand ancestral codes ahead!"
"Three, two, one...projection!"
Bang bang bang!
There was a continuous muffled sound, and hundreds of burning fireballs were projected to precise positions and angles from a distance with a favorable wind.
Boom boom boom!
The incendiary bomb shattered when it hit the ground, and the flames spread in the insect nest. The broken burning shrapnel turned into a sea of high-temperature fire, burning the nearby alien insects until they screamed!
Due to the early preparations for harassment, the Silithids did not notice the arrival of the troll army until after the fire fell from the sky.
But at this time, an area in the insect nest had already turned into a sea of fire.
Under the command of some high-level mutant bugs, countless low-level mutant bugs rushed out of the caves of the insect nest crazily and rushed into the sea of fire without fear of life or death.
Even if it was screamed by the fire, the burned carapace fell off, and the insect flesh was cooked, it was not afraid and continued to charge forward wave after wave.
The insect nest was suddenly filled with a disgusting smell.
The smell emitted after the burning material in the incendiary bomb burns violently.
There are also disgusting smells such as roasted insect meat, roasted insect legs, roasted insect shells, etc., accompanied by burning flames and burning insects.
For a moment, the insect nest looked like hell.
This hell is the hell of the alien bugs, and neither the trolls nor the night elves will be soft-hearted.
The projection continues.
With Noggenfogg's continuous shouting, at least thousands of incendiary bombs of the same type were smashed into the Nest of Corruption.
On the sky.
Shandis Yuyue, who was witnessing all this, couldn't help but admire Tonatiu next to her:
"Your Majesty, you are truly a tactical genius. The Kaldorei rely too much on nature and combat skills. Our crossbows have very strong penetrating power, but they are not so lethal to bugs."
Tonatiu smiled, shrugged and said nothing.
Throwing incendiary bombs with trebuchets and using incendiary bombs to open roads was a tactic proposed by Tonatiu.
Then the goblins perfect the technique, the kaldorei perfect the formation, and the trolls train and execute it.
Today is the first official use.
As for how Tonatiu came up with this tactic, aren’t all wars on earth after the 20th century firepower king?
The most typical one is Mi Di. Anyway, the missiles first clear the ground, the strategic bombers bomb again, the army artillery fires another wave, and then the bombers are on standby at any time to prepare for another wave...
The same goes for Rabbit’s tactical thinking. When you’re poor, you’ll have to use tactics, but when you’re rich, you’ll just fuck me up!
In addition, I have to mention, well... the second World Tree of Kaldorei, Teldrassil.
It was burned to death by incendiary bombs thrown by the Horde's trebuchets. The Kaldorei, which should have been the most glorious, became a joke in Azeroth.
After formally integrating Zul'Farrak's army, Tonatiu's first wave of offensive against his own army was to launch a wave of long-range fire suppression!!!
If you have a cannon, load it up. If you don't have a cannon, use the trebuchet temporarily.
Regardless of whether TM has any effect, let’s blow it up first!
So far, this tactic seems to be pretty good, and it was even praised by Shandris Feathermoon, who had witnessed the ancient battles...
The only pity is that the production speed and quantity of incendiary bombs are not very sufficient. There are hundreds of troll engineering apprentices, led by goblin engineering technicians who are good at this area 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 the area of about ten square kilometers in front of the insect nest into a sea of fire.
The area of a Corruption Nest is hundreds of square kilometers, and such a coverage attack only covers a small part of the front...
Faced with an enemy like the alien insects that had no long-range countermeasures, Tonatiu could not wait to prepare tens of thousands of trebuchets and project hundreds of thousands of incendiary bombs to completely turn the entire insect nest into a sea of flames!!
