    What answer is blowing in the wind?

Riddle:

    I heard of an invading, vanquishing army
    sweeping across the land, liquid-quick;
    conquering everything, quelling resistance.
    With it came darkness, dimming the light.
    Humans hid in their houses, while outside
    spears pierced, shattering stone walls.
    Uncountable soldiers smashed into the ground,
    but each elicited life as he died;
    when the army had vanished, advancing northward,
    the land was green and growing, refreshed.

Riddle:

    I saw a strange creature:
    Long, hard, and straight,
    Thrusting into a round, dark opening,
    Preparing to discharge its load of lives.
    Puffing and squealing noises accompanied it,
    Then a final screech as it slowed and stopped.
    Say what I mean.
