Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1897 Is this even scientific?!
To some extent, the current situation is in line with the goblin general's expectations: the dwarven gyroplane force that entered the field did not manage to wipe out their Destroyer force.

The fundamental reason is the insufficient number of dwarf gyroplanes, but it is also related to their bombing mechanism.

Simply put, when you press the bomb release button, the bomb release mechanisms on both sides of the stabilizer wing are released simultaneously.

A dwarf gyroplane can only carry two specially designed air-dropped bombs at a time.

Based on this, Zhou Xu did consider solving the problem, for example, by setting up two separate switches so that the two bombers could be used independently.

In actual combat, one bomb can be dropped at a time, and one dwarf gyroplane can bomb two targets.

However, at that time, time was indeed tight, and there was no time to carry out another round of improvements and adjustments.

On the other hand, it is because the specially designed air-dropped bombs are quite heavy and are mounted on the stabilizer fins on both sides.

If one side is thrown while the other is not, it will have a subtle impact on the balance of the dwarf gyroplane, making it difficult for the dwarf pilot to control it later. It would be better to throw both at once.

As it turns out, there's always a reason why the design was initially designed this way.

Dropping two specially designed air-dropped bombs at the same time also has its advantages: the bombing power is greater, and the success rate of bombing heavily armored targets like the Destroyer mech is much higher.

Having swiftly completed a bombing mission, the dwarf rotorcraft force felt as if it had been unloaded, which inadvertently increased its speed and agility.

They did not rush back to the rear supply point to resupply bombs. The cannons located in the nose of the aircraft clearly told everyone that they were not just bombers; after dropping their bombs, they still had combat capabilities.

At this moment, piloting their dwarven gyroplanes, the dwarven pilots had a clear objective and charged directly at the Ripper mechs that were ravaging their dwarven tank force.

The sound of the twin propellers spinning at high speed was so loud that it was simply impossible to approach them stealthily.

Sensing the impending crisis, the goblin pilots' first reaction was to quickly drive their Ripper mechs away.

Just as the dwarven steam tanks are basically helpless against them when they're right in front of them, they're equally helpless against flying units in other situations.

The Ripper mechs were running as fast as they could, but what they couldn't change was that the distance between them and the dwarf gyroplanes was still being closed.

Clearly, the Dwarf Gyrocopter has a faster speed compared to the Ripper mech.

This discovery made all the goblin pilots' faces turn grim.

During this process, they suddenly discovered that the other side had lowered its flight altitude, which made the goblin pilots have some wild thoughts in this extreme situation.

This is the only way!

Without a moment's hesitation, the goblin pilot, having calculated the distance precisely, suddenly drifted and turned while controlling the Ripper mech at full speed.

After a sudden change of direction, while maintaining full speed backward and continuing to increase the distance between itself and the dwarf gyroplane, it launched its mechanical claws at top speed towards the approaching dwarf gyroplane!

This can be considered the Ripper mech's only means of counterattack at present.

However, how could the dwarf pilots be completely unprepared for this attack method that had already been exposed?

In a way, they were just waiting for the other side to make a move.

Almost the instant he caught the Ripper mech drifting and turning, the dwarf pilot chasing behind knew what it was about to do. Without hesitation, he immediately made an evasive maneuver. Sure enough, the next instant, the flying mechanical claws grazed past him.

The goblin driver's heart sank to the bottom after his attack missed.

The dwarf pilot didn't waste any time and quickly approached in his dwarf gyroplane. The next second, a muffled 'boom' was heard, exceeding all the goblins' expectations, and a burst of flames shot out from the cannon barrel!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The Ripper's armor bars couldn't stop the intangible flames; the terrifyingly high-temperature flames instantly filled the entire cockpit.

The goblin pilot, enduring the scorching flames, let out a shrill scream as he desperately struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt, trying to jump out of the cockpit to survive.

However, his actions were ultimately no match for the terrifying firepower. Before he could even jump out of the cockpit, he had already been burned to a crisp.

This scene was truly shocking to the goblin soldiers on the battlefield, and they were all terrified and turned pale on the spot.

What terrified them even more was that such terrorist attacks were being carried out simultaneously by ten dwarf gyroplanes!

In other words, in the first round of attacks alone, the pilots of ten Ripper mechs were burned alive! That deadly weapon was about to come after them!
This method of killing is somewhat cruel, but it is also very intimidating.

Many goblin pilots were overwhelmed by fear and collapsed on the spot, abandoning their Ripper mechs and fleeing for their lives in a panic.

"Those bastards!!"

Upon receiving the message and confirming the situation, the goblin general was furious but helpless.

The dwarven gyroplanes flying above the battlefield, observing the Ripper mechs abandoned throughout the battlefield, showed no interest in hunting down the goblin pilots.

However, these Ripper mechs obviously couldn't be left unattended. After flying close, they began spewing flames at the empty cockpit.

They didn't leave until the cockpit was completely burned down.

After all, if they didn't do this, the goblins would take back the Ripper mechs, and they would be the ones in trouble.

On the rear side, the Ripper mech force was wiped out even faster than the goblin general had anticipated.

Looking at the dwarven gyroplane flying in the air, spewing flames like an evil dragon, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness almost overwhelmed him completely.

At this moment, the goblin general only wanted to ask one question.

"Is this even scientific?!"

The only thing to be thankful for during this period was that, unlike the Ripper mech, the cockpit of their Destroyer mech was completely enclosed inside the mech.

That's why the other side didn't choose to launch that kind of fiery attack directly at their Destroyer mechs.

But this doesn't mean they can stabilize the battle situation with the Destroyer mechs.

Because the Ripper mech force was wiped out in a short time, the remaining dwarven steam tanks on the other side were also liberated!
