Chapter 409: First Air Combat
"Sisters, the chieftain will not let us do anything for now, just let us watch. We don't know how strong these airships are, so we must be prepared and ready to attack at any time."
Hearing this, the half-elves immediately responded loudly. The soldiers and civilians on the airships where the humans are are much more miserable. Because they are different from the half-elves, their combat power is really too little.
Moreover, there are not many who are good at bows and arrows, unlike the half-elves, each of whom is a master of bows and arrows. Chi Nan seemed to have discovered this, and quietly adjusted the direction of his airship to form a three-dimensional formation.
The outer periphery and the top are the airships where the half-elves are, and the airships where the humans are are basically in the middle. In case the firepower is really not enough, the half-elves' bows and arrows can also make up for it.
"Here it comes." Suddenly, the airship shook. Bullets were quickly released from the airship and hit the bloodthirsty crows from a distance. A bullet flew out and smashed a bloodthirsty crow fiercely. The force did not weaken much, and it continued to fly, soon smashing the second, the third, and the fourth one before stopping.
But the fourth bloodthirsty crow was already beaten half to death, and was attacked by its own kind in the air, and was torn apart all at once. This scene made the people on the airship feel cold.
The machine gun-like attack method caused a large number of bullets to fly out, always attacking the most confidential places. As a result, before they got close, a large number of bloodthirsty crows were smashed to pieces, and the sky was full of the bodies and debris of bloodthirsty crows.
The attacked bloodthirsty crows suddenly became more crazy, and their speed increased a lot. It seemed that a large cloud was sweeping towards this side, trying to wrap them all up.
The continuous attack of bullets and the recoil generated made the airship constantly retreat. Chi Nan was delighted, and simply controlled the wings, fighting and retreating, delaying time.
Suddenly, a bullet burst out a little spark, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the air, engulfing many bloodthirsty crows and turning them into fireballs. Another point, green mist spread out, wrapping the bloodthirsty crows around.
"Haha, big bullets are easy to transform." That's right, because these machine gun bullets are too big, some of them were transformed by Chi Nan into small kerosene bombs and poison gas bombs, mixed in a large number of bullets. Each group has two slightly larger barrels, which are used to fire this kind of bullets.
The effect is also very obvious, especially against such large-scale group creatures. If it were other groups of beasts, they would probably have run away when they encountered such a blow.
But these things are all bloodthirsty crows, and they don't know what fear is at all. They just follow their instincts and move forward madly. It doesn't matter if the formation is scattered. As long as there is a target, there is no problem.
Finally, a bloodthirsty crow rushed in front of them and attacked the airship. But the hardness of the airship obviously exceeded the imagination of these bloodthirsty crows. Claws and beaks attacking the hard shell on the surface have no effect at all. But when they got close to this extent, Chi Nan found that he seemed to have no way to attack this part of the bloodthirsty crows.
"Damn, there is such a big defect. Is it because the airship is too big?" Chi Nan did not intend to make the airship so big. It was because the plant brain could only be reduced to this extent.
Without such a large airship, it would not be able to accommodate such a large plant brain, and they could not control it.
"The machine gun is not flexible enough to turn. We can only rely on the wings to turn more significantly. This is also a problem. We need to modify it after we go back." Chi Nan sensed and recorded.
"My Lord, the wings of our airship are not as strong as the airship itself."
Carol's words woke Chi Nan up. "Damn, how could this happen? Notify the half-elves to protect the wings of the airship." It's no use now. Chi Nan gave an order, and the half-elves could finally take action. The surrounding windows were opened a crack. That's right, just a crack was enough. The half-elves did not need too much shooting space.
Arrows flew out one after another, and even in the air, they could accurately hit the bloodthirsty crows on the wings. The bloodthirsty crows were shot down one after another, slowing down the speed of wing damage.
"Look, sir, our toxins don't seem to have much effect on the bloodthirsty crows."
"Not that there isn't much, I think the bloodthirsty crows should be immune to this toxin." Chi Nan's face turned black. The first air battle he encountered was so frustrating, and the poison gas bombs were useless.
The bloodthirsty crows wrapped in the poison gas bombs flew out as if nothing had happened, and continued to attack without being affected at all. After all, it's not a real poison, but just an anesthetic that affects the respiratory tract. It seems that the structure of bloodthirsty crows and humans is completely different. In desperation, Chi Nan immediately replaced the poison gas bombs with kerosene bombs.
The air battle continued. Relying on the hard shell, the people in the airship were temporarily invincible. The surroundings were all densely packed with bloodthirsty crows, just find a dense direction to attack.
"Bang" a gun barrel at the highest point of the airship was destroyed. The bloodthirsty crows had no way to destroy the shell, but it was no problem to destroy the gun barrel.
"It's another new problem. The gun barrels need armor protection." The gun barrels on both sides are wrapped in armor, but the upper and lower ones are not. The destroyed gun barrels, bullets fell one by one, and there was no combat effectiveness.
But there was no way. The plant brain controlled the gun barrels in groups, not one by one. Chi Nan could only watch so many bullets falling continuously. What a waste.
"The plant brain's control over the inside of the airship is not so fine, and this also needs to be modified. The plant brain is so big, but the thinking ability and problem-solving ability are really too poor. I don't know if it can be improved after the breakthrough."
Now it has almost reached the limit, and Chi Nan has no way. These shortcomings can only be recorded temporarily. The guards around looked out the window nervously, ready to fight at any time.
On land, the guards are fearless, but not in the air. Many guards suddenly had the idea of practicing archery after returning, and archery became a compulsory course for the guards in the future. Chi Nan didn't know this. At this time, he was counting the number of bloodthirsty crows and observing the shortcomings of the airship.
