Chapter 643 On How to Deal with Tooth Worms
Seeing Serpent Doctor display his prowess on the battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron immediately showed an excited expression, and the anxiety he had just felt gradually subsided.
He was initially worried about the snake doctors, but he didn't expect them to be able to handle these big guys.
However, when he saw them "biting" at the tooth worms by moving around, he suddenly understood why these small-looking creatures were able to deal with tooth worms that were many times their size.
When it comes to dealing with tooth worms, the Sweet Kingdom is quite experienced, though they just fight them a lot, and the methods they use aren't exactly ingenious.
When dealing with these creatures that had almost no major flaws except for their low intelligence, these officers often resorted to the simplest methods.
That's firepower! The ultimate firepower!
By exploiting the low intelligence of toothworms, they are lured, like flying a kite, and then an opportunity to attack is created.
Once the worms are successfully lured, they need to be treated. In this process, there is basically no other way but to use all available firepower.
One shell after another bombarded the tooth worm's body. Although it might just be a scraping motion, scraping once might not hurt the tooth worm, but if it was scraped a hundred times, even the thick-skinned tooth worm would not be able to stand still intact.
That's the power of firepower! If you can't beat your opponent, don't doubt that the enemy is too strong. You should think about whether you have too little firepower. When a hundred or a thousand cannons are aimed at the toothworm, even the toothworm will be blasted away.
Of course, their battle plan became ineffective after the appearance of the Fangworm Drivers.
After all, the Dratworm Drivers are essentially the newly grown brains of the Dratworms. What used to be an easy plan to lure the Dratworms now appears quite clumsy in the eyes of the Drivers.
With just a little maneuvering, these sweethearts were helpless; their firepower was simply insufficient to kill the toothworm before it charged in.
However, just because the Sweethearts have no solution doesn't mean the Insect Demons have no solution.
What the snake doctors are doing now is actually somewhat similar to the methods of the sweethearts, which is flying kites.
First, the snake doctors used attack instead of lure. When the snake doctors attacked the tooth worm, the tooth worm could not ignore these venomous snakes. After all, if the attack hit him, it would be life-threatening.
The Sweethearts can't do this. The reason they want to lure the Worms is to avoid a direct confrontation with them. After all, although the cannons are powerful, they aren't that formidable.
With a simple push or a gentle press, the artillery could be completely destroyed. Before the artillery had even finished firing, it was shattered into pieces.
The reason why the Sweethearts lure the cannon is to create a safe firing space for the artillery, so that the Toothworms will not attack the cannon.
However, the snake-doctors don't need this, because they themselves are the bait; to be precise, they are a combination of offense and defense.
With their agile movements, the Snake Medicine Masters can protect themselves in close combat and avoid being seriously injured by the Fang Worms—that's defense. On top of that, they can also perform the seductive actions of the Sweethearts.
After all, if a venomous snake is slithering around in front of you and occasionally bites you, would you fight it or not?
Having discussed defense, let's move on to offense. The weapon wielded by the Serpent Medicine Doctor is a poisoned spear. Compared to the cannons used by the Sweethearts to attack the Tooth Worms, each has its own advantages.
Sweetheart's cannon has strong attack power and its explosion causes area damage. It is a powerful attack method whether you are fighting Sweetheart or Insect Demons.
However, this method is less effective when applied to tooth worms.
This doesn't mean the shells were useless; when they hit the toothworms, their power remained the same, not diminished much.
However, the key point is that although the power has not been reduced, the effect and efficiency have been greatly reduced.
Toothworms are tough and thick-skinned. When shells hit them and exploded, they couldn't kill them instantly. The shells that could blast Sweethearts to pieces were just bullets that hurt them a little.
Ultimately, candy shells aren't designed to deal with giant units like toothworms. It's not that they can't be killed, it just takes a lot of shots.
Compared to ordinary soldiers, the Tooth Bug is like wearing a thick layer of heavy armor. The shells are area-of-effect explosions, not armor-piercing shells, and cannot cause penetrating damage. To kill the Tooth Bug, you must first blast through that layer of heavy armor before you can attack it.
But against ordinary people, no matter how thick your clothes are, you can't be as tough as a tooth worm. One shell will knock you down and you won't get up, not to mention it's area damage. There's only one tooth worm, and one shell can hit it once, but there are groups of soldiers, and one shell can kill a large number of them.
That's efficiency!
In contrast to the Sweethearts who use cannonballs, the Snake Medicine Masters seem more primitive, after all, they use "cold weapons".
However, Macaron overlooked one point: this was not an ordinary cold weapon.
The poisoned spear, combined with the fierce attacks of the snake-wielding healers, gave this cold weapon extremely strong penetrating power. While the poisoned spear might not be as good as a cannon in terms of area explosion and clearing out mobs, it was second to none in terms of armor penetration.
Each stab pierced deep into the flesh of the tooth worm. Whether the snake venom could corrode the tenacious body of the tooth worm was unknown to the snake doctors, but the stabs that pierced the flesh were real.
After a few thrusts of the spear, the tooth worm had several holes in its body in no time. Tell me, are you scared or not?
Don't underestimate the sharp fangs of snakes just because they are venomous; snake fangs can be just as deadly, especially these monsters.
It can be said that the Serpent Physicians are a type of ranger with agile movements and strong attack power, although they are not as powerful or unstoppable as heavy cavalry charging.
However, even slow gnawing can threaten the life of a giant beast. This special method of hunting seems to be similar to the ancient human hunting of mammoths. No matter how strong you are, you can't withstand a group of menacing creatures poking holes in you.
Seeing the snake doctors' unique fighting style, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron finally understood why these guys, despite their small size, were able to deal with giant beasts like the Tooth Worms.
This is the snake swarm; the tooth worms have already fallen into the snake pit!
However, just as Lieutenant Colonel Macaron was excited and happy about the snake doctors' hunt for the tooth worms, the situation on the battlefield changed once again.
After realizing that the Toothworms were at a disadvantage, the Toothworm pilots took countermeasures. They took out a crispy roll from their waist and put it to their mouths.
You can vaguely see tiny holes in the crisp rolls of macarons; those are...
Flute?
