Chapter 1665: Chapter 1243 Dragon Breath Armor-Piercing Bomb_2
This bastard! How thick is this armor anyway!
"The results are in. The material of the armor has not changed; it’s still Black Dragon-type bone armor. However, the thickness of this armor has been significantly increased, enhancing its ability to absorb energy by a lot. If we still calculate it based on White Dragon’s sniper Dragon Breath, the number of White Dragons required to penetrate this armor would be unacceptable," Future said.
"Just the thickness of the armor? No, I don’t think so! The Dragon Power beneath this layer of armor is extremely strong, there’s definitely a trick underneath it! Keep bombarding! Until we break through a layer of armor!" Future’s warplane immediately opened fire, with Divine Power-filled Light Cannons continuously shooting at the previously hit location. Meanwhile, the Dragon Ball completely ignored and kept moving forward. Finally, Long Yi completely blasted away that frightfully thick armor, but what he saw was a mouth already wide open.
Bang!
A beam of White Dragon’s Dragon Breath with Divine Power grazed the edge of Future’s warplane, luckily Long Yi reacted in advance and dodged a step earlier, otherwise that hit would definitely have landed.
"Hehehe, quite vigilant, aren’t you," the Worm’s voice resonated again.
"Oh my god, just a mere trap like this, you think you can hurt me? Don’t always think I’m as foolish as you," Long Yi decisively started mocking.
"Yes, I shouldn’t think that way. Then, how about this!"
The Dragon Ball began to slowly rotate, and on the side facing Long Yi and the Dragon Knights, thick bone armor opened up small doors, and behind the doors were gaping mouths! Deadly Dragon Breaths constantly sprayed out from those mouths. And when the Dragon Ball rotated, the bone armor would close, ensuring that those capable of emitting Dragon Breath were always protected!
It’s a hedgehog tactic!
Long Yi was almost ready to commend the Worm, wasn’t this a textbook tank advance tactic? The tanks, with powerful firepower, cover each other, continuously pushing the front line forward, further compressing the enemy’s maneuvering space.
Long Yi had always known the Worm was smart, but being this clever really brought it to an annoying level.
"Do these Dragon Balls look familiar to you, Long Yi?" the Worm’s voice came again.
"Familiar, they’re stolen from me," Long Yi casually responded.
"Correct, this is your tactic! I knew you created a type of Tetrahedron-shaped spaceship when you were in the middle Plane, with an incredibly robust main body but firepower on all sides, I thought I could build a similar war machine. Little did I know, I actually succeeded!" the Worm laughed aloud.
So it really was my fault, Long Yi inwardly sighed.
"Check out these new toys of mine, I can almost imagine the huge cost you need to bear to destroy one Dragon Ball! No worries, don’t rush, we have time, let’s prolong the game!"
This time, the Worm didn’t perform its routine Divine Power Charge, which actually let Simu breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Divine Power charges were very draining, and neither the Worm nor Simu were plentiful in Divine Power.
"All Black Dragons, don’t idle around, immediately use Corrosive Dragon Breath to weaken their armor from afar, the target is very large, movement is not agile. But the firepower is fierce, all Dragon Knights take note, be very careful not to get focused by those Dragon Balls!" Long Yi commanded loudly.
All Black Dragons simultaneously cast Magic and Dragon Breath, blasting clouds full of Dragon Breath toward the Dragon Balls from afar. The Black Dragons’ Dragon Breath could also be cumulatively layered; although the effect might be a bit lesser against Black Dragon attribute bone armor, that didn’t matter, a little effect was better than nothing.
Twenty minutes passed, the Plane was sealed, according to statistics, the number of Dragon Balls exceeded one hundred thousand. It was a lot fewer than the initial twenty million Giant Dragons, but the difficulty of dealing with these Dragon Balls had increased by more than just a level or two! In fact, before the fissure closed, tens of thousands of Black Dragons were already injured!
"Each Dragon Ball has at least three hundred dragon-head like structures that emit various Dragon Breaths, with the majority being White Dragon-type, clearly the Worm favors the tactic of combining heavy armor with long-range firepower," Future said.
Three hundred? So it seems like just one hundred thousand Dragon Balls came, but actually, thirty million did? Realizing this, Long Yi suddenly thought of a very frightening fact, each time the fissure was opened was limited. So, could it be that the Worm would create an extremely horrific life form en masse and then release all the Dragon Beasts at once?
This matter is difficult to discuss.
"Red Dragon, prepare your Dragon Breath Armor-Piercing Bombs; Black Dragon, continue to weaken the armor. White Dragon, get ready for mid-range precise sniping, aim for every gap in the armor for attacks. Don’t aim to kill, just aim to stop a dragon breath spray and that will be enough!"
Long Yi loudly announced the order. The Red Dragons roared and charged forward; this was their first battle!
"Brothers! Armor-Piercing Bombs ready! Aim! Fire!"
The fiery red Dragon Breath missiles burst out from the Red Dragon’s throat, enveloped by Dragon Power and rushing towards the Dragon Ball ahead. The moment the Dragon Breath missile hit the Dragon Ball, the area of contact in the center was torn open with a small hole, and the intensely compressed red Dragon Breath was immediately detonated.
Boom!
A fierce explosion of flames burst out on the armor on one side of the Dragon Ball, and following the flames, the Observation Dragon immediately transmitted a clear image.
"We did not penetrate their armor! It looks like the armor thickness has been reduced by one third!" an Observation Dragon reported.
"Here as well, did not penetrate, estimate one fourth!"
"Did not penetrate, one third!"
A series of reports came in, all of them indicating that the armor had not been penetrated. The common penetration depth was around one third.
"Good! This means our Armor-Piercing Bombs were completely successful! Continue the bombardment, my Dragon Clan brothers! Burn those monsters hiding behind the shells to ashes!"
The Red Dragons were initially disheartened by not fully penetrating with the first strike, but hearing Long Yi declaring it a success meant it wasn’t their fault!
"Brothers! Bombard them!" The Dragon Breath missiles never stopped, with Black Dragon and Red Dragon taking turns encircling the Dragon Ball. Black Dragon would first complete a weakening of the armor corrosion, after which Red Dragon would deliver a round of Armor-Piercing Bomb attacks. This time, White Dragon did not take on the main damage-dealing role but served as a support role, specifically attacking any open mouths that were out of armor coverage to minimize our losses as much as possible.
However, our losses kept skyrocketing. And even though the battle hadn’t even reached halfway, the number of injured Giant Dragons had already exceeded the previous battle. However, since this wasn’t the first battle, the number of Giant Dragons killed had actually decreased.
But Long Yi could understand, after all, these Dragon Balls were too sinister, hiding behind heavy armor and the dragon mouth emitting Dragon Breath, this was a completely new experience for the Dragon Knights, and it was good enough not to be flustered!
"I’ve penetrated!" Suddenly a loud shout came across all channels, it was a mix of Dragon Knight and Red Dragon’s voices.
In the distance, a bulge formed on the side armor of a Dragon Ball, clearly pushed open from the inside, while flames were continuously spraying out of a crater.
Once the Armor-Piercing Bomb penetrates the armor, the damage inside the armor is extremely shocking. Clearly, although these Dragon Balls had thick external armor, there was absolutely no cover underneath it. Once the force of the Armor-Piercing Bomb was fully released internally, the damage caused would be tremendous.
Indeed, after one Armor-Piercing Bomb penetrated, nearly one fourth of the Dragon Mouths of that Dragon Ball had lost their attack capabilities, indicating that the Armor-Piercing Bomb had almost destroyed that quarter of Dragon Mouths!
With the first penetration, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield immediately changed. In the previous two wars, the Red Dragons, who were almost ending up just passing through, now fought fiercely. Due to the huge number disadvantage, Red Dragon’s Dragon Breath missiles were launched continuously as if they cost nothing, and one after another update of penetrations came through.
Finally, an Observation Dragon Knight shouted, "Wait! That Dragon Ball! Was that Dragon Ball killed? Let me confirm up close! That Dragon Ball is splitting open! The inside is burning! It has been hit by too many Armor-Piercing Bombs, its insides are burnt to ashes! I can confirm now! The first Dragon Ball has been killed! I repeat, the first Dragon Ball has been killed!"
