When Night Elves trained flying pets, they also chose birds of prey of a suitable size.
For example, moderately sized owls and sparrowhawks.
Birds that were too large were easily spotted by enemies, and their risk of being shot down also increased.
Especially in a desert region like Silithus, those large birds easily attracted the Aqir's attention.
The flying pets scattered to search for targets and soon found a suitable one.
Large numbers of bugs had gathered there, making it an ideal place to demonstrate the artillery's power.
Compared with professional drones, however, the flying pets' reconnaissance capabilities were still far too amateurish.
They could only tell the gun crews which direction the targets lay in.
Neither the distance to the targets nor the angle was clear.
A first-shot hit was therefore impossible!
As expected, the first shot went several hundred meters wide and hit nothing.
The bugs gathered to bask in the sun were startled by the distant explosion.
Fortunately, the bugs had very low intelligence and did not concern themselves with why there had been an explosion.
They continued lying lazily on the sand, basking in the scorching sun.
After the trajectory was corrected based on where the first shell landed, however, the second shell was quite accurate.
Although it did not land precisely in the middle of the swarm, it did catch its edge.
The shell struck one unlucky bug, instantly making it vanish without a trace.
Then fierce flames and a shock wave tore up the ground, sweeping across a vast area more than a hundred meters in radius.
An explosion that powerful could clear a soccer field in the middle of a match.
The dust thrown up by the explosion shrouded a large area around the point of impact.
It looked as though the entire
