But after considering the matter over and over, Yu Lin Bloodhawk abandoned the idea.
Setting aside whether Mez'dra would help and whether the required materials were precious or rare, there were the characteristics of the Hammer of Moradin itself to consider!
Powerful though the Hammer of Moradin was, its attack rate was quite low. Under normal circumstances, a Wildhammer dwarf Gryphon Rider could carry only one Hammer of Moradin. With another, even getting the gryphon airborne would probably be difficult.
The Hammers of Moradin forged by the Wildhammer Dwarves might not look very large, but they were heavy, and that weight was precisely what gave them their tremendous killing power.
Besides, the High Elves did not have many Gryphon Riders. When a major battle came, their duties were demanding, and sometimes they simply could not keep up.
So, after weighing the matter repeatedly, Yu Lin Bloodhawk had no choice but to give up that tempting idea.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk felt that placing all his hopes on a limited number of Gryphon Riders would be a drop in the bucket during a major battle. The High Elf Gryphon Riders already had enough assignments; he should not keep piling every task onto their shoulders.
That was why Yu Lin Bloodhawk thought of using cannon-fired solid shot against Infernals.
A solid cannonball was not much different from a shot-put ball. Fired from a cannon with the tremendous force of exploding gunpowder, it would be more than an Infernal could withstand, no matter how hard its stones were.
But cannons were cumbersome things. They were fine for defending a city, but they faced too many limitations in field battles.
And since most of the fighting within the High Elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas currently took place in the Singing Forest, they were even less convenient.
