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.
