Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 47 The Orc Fleet Defeated Again
Faced with the crazy artillery fire from the enemy ships, the orc fleet could only constantly adjust its formation to protect the severely damaged warships.

The old-fashioned artillery installed on their bows makes it difficult to lock the enemy ships that are flexible and circling.

Even if you can lock and fire in time, the poor accuracy of the old guns is there.

Shells tend to miss falling into the sea by a little bit.

It serves no practical purpose other than deterrence.

Even if it occasionally hits the opponent with a shot, the damage caused by the shell is very small.

The cannonballs sold to them by black-hearted goblin merchants are the cheapest junk.

That thing is an iron ball that will not explode, and it can only cause certain damage to the enemy ship.

The warships of Kul Tiras have strict requirements on the wood used.

All the century-old trees with the best materials are selected, and the trunks are in the best position.

Although both sides are wooden hulls, the orc shells may not be able to penetrate.

This leads to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

The orc fleet that was crushed unilaterally did not end this nightmare until the opponent finished firing all the shells!

If it weren't for the improved warships of the orcs, the loss of personnel they suffered would be astonishing!
The battle on the sea has subsided, and the battle in the sky is drawing to a close.

Two teams of Griffin Knights besieged the six instant red dragons, only causing some minor injuries to them in the end.

The two warring parties, who were exhausted enough, finally disengaged tacitly.

Although the instant red dragons have low intelligence, they know to return to the previous warship to rest.

This eliminates the possibility that the orc fleet will continue to be attacked.

Neither the Griffon Knights nor the warships of Kul Tiras dared to attack the orc fleet easily.

Seeing that these instant red dragons could not do anything, the Griffin Knights returned to the battleship to rest one after another.

The orc fleet did not dare to continue to South Sea Town without guarantee.

They decisively turned around and left this sea area, waiting for the next opportunity to make a comeback.

Seeing the orc fleet retreat, several warships of the Kul Tiras fleet also turned around and left.

This adventurous attack has achieved quite a good record!

Tried out the strength of those red dragons, and defeated the orc fleet again.

Although the loss suffered by the orc fleet was not as great as last time, our side had zero casualties this time.

But the strength of the Red Dragon is indeed a headache.

Even if they are besieged by a large number of Griffin Knights, they can still resist with their nearly invincible scales.

A griffin knight ventured close to them, and the warhammer and the griffin's sharp claws came together, and only then did they successfully remove some of the dragon scales.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat is very dangerous.

The size gap between the two sides is too large, and they are not on the same level at all!
With just a light bump, the huge red dragon can knock the Griffon Knight into the air.

In fact, there were not many griffins injured in the battle.

Fortunately, the Griffin Knights of the Wildhammer Dwarves are all shaman priests with healing abilities.

Griffins can be effectively healed and protected.

Even so, the life-threatening behavior of fighting the red dragon close to hand was still strictly prohibited by Falstad.

The few dragon scales that were risky to be picked off did not do much damage to the red dragon.

There is really no need to fight with them.

However, Wildhammer dwarves are very stubborn.

Although the leader's words are very reasonable, they have little restraint effect.

If it wasn't for the warships of Kul Tiras to go back to replenish the shells, they would probably continue to challenge the red dragons after the break.

The Griffin Knights who returned to Southsea Town proudly displayed the dragon scales they had obtained.

Herald takes a piece from them and tests it destructively.

The scales of the red dragon are larger than the palm of an adult.

It looked like a small shield carved from ruby.

Rangers fastened it to steel plates and fired with large-caliber sniper rifles.

Ordinary steel core bullets hit it without leaving any traces.

Even with Thorium bullets with strong armor-piercing ability, they can only make some negligible scratches.

The hardness of the instant red dragon's scales far exceeded Herald's expectations.

However, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns can still be counted on.

The rangers drove the anti-aircraft arcane tank to the shooting range, aiming the black muzzle at the dragon scale target not far away.

The anti-aircraft gun is to damage the enemy aircraft by installing a proximity fuze on the shell and detonating the shell in the air.

The mode of directly using warheads to blow up enemy aircraft can only be used by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns with high rates of fire.

But if you want to shoot the instant red dragon, loading Thorium armor-piercing bullets is the only option.

The shell used to test the dragon scale is of course a Thorium armor-piercing shell.

The thorium bullet hit the dragon scale, and there was no ricochet phenomenon.

The powerful kinetic energy contained in the bullet was fully exerted, shattering this piece of super biological material whose hardness was comparable to that of diamond.

The warhead that shattered the dragon scale target flew hundreds of meters away, and finally blasted a deep hole on the mountain wall.

Looking at the evenly broken dragon scale fragments, Herald thought of tempered glass.

Tempered glass is to use chemical or physical methods to form compressive stress on the glass surface.

If external force wants to break the tempered glass, it first needs to counteract the stress on the surface.

In this way, the strength of tempered glass to withstand blows is greatly improved.

As long as that layer of stress cannot be broken, tempered glass is invincible.

But if the attack exceeds the strength of the toughened glass, it will break into very uniform pieces as a whole.

Dragon scales may be similar to the principle of tempered glass.

But the strength of the dragon scales is obviously not comparable to the fragile glass!

Herald couldn't imagine how strong the genuine dragon scales would be!
Those air overlords whose scales are extremely hard and immune to magic, are they really capable of being killed by mortals?

Fortunately, real dragons obey the rules set by the titans.

They will not take the initiative to be enemies of mortals.

Even those fallen black dragons are just doing things with intrigue.

Otherwise, how could other creatures survive in this world?
When Herald lamented the power of the dragon, the retreating orc fleet also successfully returned to the wetland port.

Due to the protection of decks and partitions, the orcs in the cabin did not suffer much loss.

However, in this naval battle, the Dragonmaw clan suffered a lot!

Although the six instant red dragons did not die, their drivers were all dead.

That is a rare elite driver in the Dragonmaw clan.

Zulud looked at the empty saddle on the red dragon's back, and the grief in his heart could no longer be expressed in words.

This aged orc warlock looked like an old dog with a broken leg, nothing but miserable.

Orgrim patted him on the shoulder with concern to express his comfort.

Then Orgrim put forward some ideas that he had pondered.

"These dragons are formidable indeed! But your lads cannot withstand the blows of the enemy.

Perhaps a few more dragons should be arranged for the boys, so that they can provide all-round protection. "

Considering Orgrim's suggestion, Zulud's eyes gradually lit up.

"Using more dragons to protect the driver seems to be feasible. I will arrange for new drivers and dragons to come over."

There are not many elite riders in the Dragonmaw clan.

But the instant red dragon caught a lot.

In the past few days when the fleet went out, another six red dragons have completed the cultivation process of dark magic.

As time goes by, the number of instant red dragons will only increase.

Since six instant red dragons are not enough, then twelve or even eighteen.

Each elite driver brings three red dragons, which should be enough to kill those griffins.

When the griffins that get in the way are dealt with, the human ground troops will be vulnerable!
