Chapter 993 White Phosphorus Bomb
With Donald's command, the soldiers of the 191 Dagger Regiment launched their first round of fire at the giant beast.
To get a clearer view of the shooting results, the first round of shooting was carried out in a volley.
Facts had shown that ordinary heavy artillery had limited killing power against the giant bugs.
Although the heavy artillery made a powerful and impressive display, the shockwave from the cannon's explosion was almost entirely absorbed by the giant creature's skeletal muscles, causing it little harm.
Surprisingly, armor-piercing and incendiary ammunition posed a significant threat to the giant bug.
Armor-piercing ammunition could penetrate the giant bug's armor, causing structural damage to it.
Although incendiary ammunition couldn't penetrate the giant bug's armor, they could continuously inflict damage on the exposed skin of the bug.
After a round of concentrated fire, the giant bug seemed to be provoked.
It quickened its pace, charging toward Donald and his group.
If the giant beast were to get close enough, even if Grian and his men were the elite forces of Yorksland, they wouldn't be able to withstand the force of the beast's crushing stomp.
“Sir, should we consider retreating first?”
“No way,” Donald said calmly, “Given the current speed of this giant bug, it would take at least twenty seconds to reach our front line. It might seem like retreating would buy us more time, but we wouldn't
be able to counterattack effectively while moving backward. This is akin to a slow death for us.”
Hearing Donald's words, Grian also nodded in agreement.
“So, what should we do now?”
Seeing the giant bug getting closer and closer, Grian suddenly became nervous.
“Direct all heavy artillery to target this beast's head. Ensure that when I give the command, it hits with the first shot.”
“Understood!”
As Donald issued the command, the heavy artillery unit of the Dagger Regiment swiveled their cannons, locking onto the giant creature that was on the run.
Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds...
As the giant bug drew closer and closer, Grian's heart pounded faster and faster.
The test firing had already proven that heavy artillery didn't have much killing power against the monster.
He wondered if that were the case, why did Donald still insist on having the heavy artillery target the head of the giant beast? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
What was worse was that the giant bug was almost upon them now.
Why hasn't Lord Campbell issued the attack order yet?
Just when Grian was about to be suffocated by this immense pressure, Donald set things in motion with a command.
“Fire!”
Dozens of heavy artilleries roared in unison.
It was hard to say whether it was a coincidence, but at that moment, the giant bug that was running opened its mouth wide as if it was about to unleash some kind of skill.
The bullets rained down, striking the giant bug's head in unison, with several even landing directly in its gaping mouth.
Green, fresh blood rained down from the sky.
The giant bug seemed as if it had been hit hard on the head, shaking its head for quite a while before it could react.
While the giant bug was standing still in a daze, Donald issued his second command.
“White phosphorus bombs. Aim them at the back of the giant bug. Fire!”
Three white phosphorus bombs soared into the sky, then scattered down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers from the heavens.
These white phosphorus bombs fell on the back of the giant beast, directly burning hole after hole into its flesh, leaving bloody craters behind.
The characteristic of white phosphorus bombs was that once they came into contact with flesh, they would continue to burn, incinerating all combustible materials in the vicinity until nothing was left.
Therefore, white phosphorus bombs had always been categorized as prohibited weapons internationally.
Since this prohibited weapon couldn't be used against humans, there shouldn't be any problem using it against monsters, right?
The creature, entirely engulfed in flames, wailed and struggled.
With a dreadful shriek, it collapsed onto the ground, its massive head landing directly in front of Donald.
