Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 15 Promoting Hot Weapons

When Herald sent back to Silvermoon City with a large amount of munitions, Jindi also left Dalaran in a hurry.

However, Dalaran has not yet connected the portal to Gnomeregan, the main city of gnomes.

He could only fly back by helicopter.

The straight-line distance between Dalaran and Gnomeregan is about two thousand kilometers.

But there is a huge gulf between the two places.

It is impossible for a helicopter to fly straight across the sea that is at least [-] kilometers away.

Going around along the edge of the bay, landing several times to replenish fuel and rest before arriving in Gnomeregan.

Flying mounts like griffins also use this flight route.

Flying thousands of kilometers in one go, only extraordinary creatures like giant dragons can do it.

When Jin Di was driving the roaring helicopter, Herald had already left Silvermoon City and was flying through the forest on a chocobo.

The area where Silvermoon City is located is called Eversong Forest by the high elves.

Trees here are more affected by the Sunwell.

The leaves are golden yellow, which looks like autumn has arrived.

However, Sister Qiuhan will never come to Eversong Forest!
As long as the Sunwell is not destroyed, the climate here will always be neither hot nor cold.

Infiltrated by the high concentration of energy from the Sunwell, the trees in Eversong Forest are accelerating their evolution.

Old enough trees in the forest have successfully evolved into treants, who can pull their roots out of the soil and walk slowly in the forest.

But even if the tree people are born with wisdom, they don't like to move around.

As a tree, how can it walk on the ground?

These intelligent trees prefer to quietly observe the movement in the forest.

For example, watching lynx prey on small animals, watching high elves and forest trolls fight.

Herald ran through the forest on his chocobo, and quickly attracted the attention of the ancient trees.

They place special emphasis on young elves who love nature.

However, what Herald is going to do today has nothing to do with caring for nature.

He ran into a camp where many high elves were camped.

The ancient trees observe the movement inside the camp through the flowers, plants and trees outside the camp.

The camp that Herald entered was the training camp for high elf rangers near Silvermoon City.

Many novice rangers are trained in the camp.

Cirvanas is the highest person in charge of this training camp.

For her daily training, she wears a tight suit of green leather armor.

Although the leather armor was tightly wrapped, it perfectly showed her bulging figure.

When Herald came over with a long-barreled musket, she was shooting a target with her ancestral divine bow.

Herald always felt terrified at the sight of bowstrings skimming against towering peaks.

Archery is more suitable for men, and women must be level to be safe.

However, the musket is a weapon that does not pick the body, it is very suitable to replace the bow and arrow.

However, after Cirvanas tried shooting, she dug her ears in frustration.

The sound of this weapon was so loud that it instantly lost her interest.

She thinks her own Windrunner bow is better.

This is the divine bow once blessed by the moon god Elune.

Every arrow shot by the divine bow will be attached with powerful wind elemental energy.

Under the blessing of the energy of the wind element, the arrows fly faster and more stably, and they are silent.

When the enemy hits the arrow, he will find that he has been attacked.

This is similar to bullets.

However, arrows with wind elemental energy are much more powerful than bullets.

The power of wind is expressed in kinetic energy, which means super strong penetration and cutting.

Sylvanas once shot the troll headhunter and the big tree behind him in two.

With this kind of artifact-level weapon, it's normal to look down on long-barreled muskets.

Her lieutenant, Lor'themar Theron, was very interested in this simple and crude weapon.

After firing a few shots, he gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Except for being too loud, this weapon is very good in other aspects!"

After hearing the evaluation of the second in command, the rangers picked up the weapons provided by Herald to try them out.

Bow and arrow shooting experience is somewhat similar to firearms.

They quickly hit the target.

In addition to getting started smoothly, they also discovered more advantages of muskets.

The bullets of the musket are small, and a small cloth bag can hold two to three hundred bullets.

There are more than 20 arrows in a pot of bows and arrows, occupying a large space.

Although the magic equipment of the high elves is relatively common, the space props are not as bad as in the game.

The magic bag with the smallest space, the price starts from [-] gold coins.

Rangers from big families will be equipped with larger magic bags.

Ordinary rangers have the smallest magic bag, which is already a very good configuration!

After putting some necessary materials in the magic bag, there are very few places where you can put arrows.

Therefore, long-barreled muskets are very attractive to rangers.

The only downside is that it's too loud.

In addition to destroying the shooter's ears, it is also easy to attract distant enemies.

However, there is a workaround for this flaw.

Herald introduced the principle and structure of the silencer to Jindi.

As long as the gnome engineers have a research direction, it is not a problem to create a silencer.

Herald confidently assured the rangers.

"There is a way to solve the sound problem. The finished product will definitely satisfy everyone."

When the rangers heard the good news, they stopped hesitating and started testing long-barreled muskets more actively.

Seeing his subordinates actively trying new weapons, Lor'themar immediately made a suggestion to Sylvanas.

"Big sister, this weapon is really good, it's worth promoting!"

Sylvanas doesn't need a "boom-boom" musket.

But she will not prohibit her subordinates from using this weapon just because she doesn't need it.

And this weapon was recommended by Herald.

If the overall problem is not big, there must be no problem in mass adoption!

"Practice this weapon well first. When the time comes, go to the border and use your achievements to speak for yourself."

With the consent of the top leader, the rangers immediately stopped hesitating.

"Give me a training hand."

"I want one too."

"The price of this bullet is really cheap!"

Arrows are worthless on an industrialized earth.

You can get one for just a few bucks.

Although Azeroth has a large-scale industry.

Only gnomes and goblins have them.

Both races like to "bang bang bang" and have no interest in making arrows.

Dwarf: "Can you make arrows out of machines?"

Dwarf: "Do you know about muskets?"

Dwarf: "I want arrows!"

Dwarf: "Then I recommend this repeating musket."

Dwarf: "Ah, what I want is arrows!"

Dwarves once worshiped battle axes and crossbows.

Under the ostensible influence of the gnomes, they turned to heat weapons.

However, it is indeed a very good tactic to bombard with cannons first, and then use steam tanks to lead the battle. Soldiers and musketeers advance together!
The high elves can't copy it all.

But the musket can be promoted first.

Simple and easy to use, but also powerful.

When civilians practice, they can also act as half rangers.

Warriors and knights can also use it as a ranged strike before charging.

Rangers use bows and arrows and muskets alternately according to the current situation.

However, Herald is a traverser, and he is very sensitive to insufficient firepower.

The firepower of the musket is not good, and it still does not meet his standards.

So he came up with the idea of ​​the machine gun and the automatic rifle.

These high-powered weapons are easy to come up with.

Just shrink the large-caliber aviation cannon a little and make it more suitable for hand-holding.

Technological weapons play on firepower intensity.

Enemies are sure to have a lot of fun waiting until the squad racks up the machine guns!
