Knight with Wand

Chapter 233: Ambition

The Pegasus Knights formed an air combat formation like a flock of geese, flying one by one in the gloomy sky.

The two armies fought to the death in the sky, and the guards held the crossbows in their hands, and the strong crossbow strings kept emitting vibrating hums.

Every time the arrow nest turned, a crossbow arrow whistled out and attacked the distant target.

The cost of the Silver Mountain Turning Crossbow, which was expensive enough to arm a fully armored knight, was so luxurious that each of the king's guards had one.

In this intensive round of shooting, the air combat formation covered the upper, lower, left and right ranges, and the hedgehog-like rain of arrows forced the scorpion tail lion to flap its wings and surround the Orland Knights, making it impossible to get close in a short time.

The lion scorpion knights of Cantadar also kept pulling their bows and shooting at the Pegasus Knights soaring in the sky.

But with a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters, the knights kept tumbling over each other, and the accuracy of the knights' bows and arrows was not as good as that of the ground. Before the arrows were closer, whether they could hit the target was almost entirely dependent on the blessings of the ancestors and gods.

But even if it was based on luck, as long as a few stray arrows injured the wings of the flying beast, even if the enemy was not shot, it would be enough to completely make an air knight lose the ability to fight in the air. This is the danger of air combat far exceeding that of land combat.

However, compared with the war bow in the hands of the Cantadar Lion Scorpion Knight, before the arrows were exhausted, the crossbow of the Orland Air Knight was still more advantageous in long-range combat.

The King's Guards used the crossbow's crosshairs to pull the trigger and shoot frequently. As long as the crossbow arrows were empty, the expensive transfer empty warehouse would be thrown away without regret and quickly replaced with a new set of arrow nests.

The Scorpion Tailed Lion with a higher load capacity, relying on its comprehensive armor and strong ability to withstand injuries, gradually approached under the dangerous rain of arrows.

Once the close-range aerial combat begins, the ferocious lion scorpion can easily kill the Pegasus under the crotch of the Orlanders, and the scene may end in a one-sided manner in an instant.

Lions roared, horses neighed, bowstrings trembled, and sometimes arrows bounced off the armor of knights and war beasts, and sometimes knights and mounts were unfortunately hit by arrows and forced to land in the forest below to survive.

The bloody fight hit the ground from the sky, and the knights who landed continued the unfinished duel in the sky

Leon leaned over and grabbed the griffin saddle and drilled out of the clouds.

Seeing the fight below, he ordered the death claw to speed up the attack.

Finally approaching the low-altitude battlefield, while the enemy had not yet discovered his swooping self, Leon ordered Gungnir wrapped around his right arm to appear from the elemental state and threw a thunder spear at a scorpion tail lion that was rushing towards the Pegasus knight.

——Boom!

Thunder resounded.

The falling lightning directly cut off the flight path of the lion scorpion. The blue arc penetrated the flesh wings of the beast and split the bones of its wings.

Learning from the last lesson, Leon aimed at the war beast under the enemy.

Blood was flying, and the manticore roared in pain, fluttering and falling in an unbalanced state.

The terrifying weight of the death claw wrapped the speed of the fall, and spread its wings over the heads of the fighting lion scorpion and Pegasus Knight.

With a pull of his right arm, Leon recalled the flying magic spear and joined the battle group with his griffin companion.

The aerial overlord who was not afraid of the manticore did not need to avoid close combat with the lion scorpions like Pegasus did. The death claw relied on its strong physique to crush it, dodged the sporadic arrows flying, and directly carried Leon to the front of the lion scorpions, and attacked them with the closest target.

Leon was sitting on the saddle of his war beast companion, and he quickly identified the threat in his sight. He raised the heavy Silver Mountain Crossbow with his left hand and pulled the trigger repeatedly at the lion scorpion that tried to fly around the back of the griffin.

This precious crossbow he borrowed from the king's army shot out arrows that broke through the air and hit the head armor of the scorpion tail lion, which was so frightened that it hurriedly turned away to avoid the crossbow arrow that almost hit its eyes.

The lion scorpion knight of Kantadar released the bowstring while his mount turned sideways, and the arrows that left the string attacked Leon in a staggered manner.

He just turned his body slightly, allowing the sharp arrow to hit the thick armor on the back of the griffin. Leon looked back and aimed at the huge wings of the enemy's mount, and fired the last arrow in the arrow nest.

——Swoosh!

The crossbow arrow pierced the fleshy wing of the lion scorpion, leaving a hole that spurted blood.

Although it was not enough to knock down the beast, the manticore still lost its mind in irritability and anger under the pain, making it more difficult for the rider to control it.

Looking at the manticore circling behind him, Leon was about to deal with it, but suddenly he felt a shock all over his body. The straps and chains on the saddle suddenly pulled his body, and his vision rolled and rotated rapidly.

He only heard the roar of the beast under him. It was the Death Claw and the manticore rushing towards him, and they fought fiercely into a ball.

The two sky beasts opened their huge wings in completely different forms, huge beaks and sharp teeth, beast claws against lion claws, rolling and falling, while fighting bloody in the most primitive way.

The eagle beak, which was harder than steel, ignored the horns and fangs of the lion scorpion in front of it and smashed its jaw.

The manticore, struggling desperately, swung its tail in severe pain, and the poisonous tail hook pierced the skin of the Death Claw along the gap in the griffin armor.

The upside-down Kantadar Knight discarded his war bow, pulled off the cavalry spear behind him, twisted his body and stabbed hard at the eagle eye of the griffin.

Leon quickly loosened the crossbow hanging on the chain, twisted his body and used his strength, swung Gungnir with both hands, opened the enemy's spear blade, and injected magic power into the magic wand to call for the wind.

——Bang!

The wind hammer built into the spell slot blasted out, and the violent wind breath hit the lion scorpion knight below, breaking the iron chain that fixed the rider on the saddle with a huge force, knocking the opponent off the lion's back.

The screaming knight fell freely from hundreds of meters in the air, and his lion scorpion was almost simultaneously torn open in the throat and lower abdomen by the two pairs of claws in front and behind the griffin.

The wounds on the death claw caused by the scorpion tail stinger were faintly purple, but the venom that was enough to paralyze dragon beasts and elephants could not break through the griffin's superb immune system.

The air king, who was only injured in the skin, almost felt no impact. He threw away the bloody scorpion tail lion, flapped his wings, and climbed up again in a supine position. With his powerful flying ability, he threw away the enemy behind him who was trying to catch up with him.

In a short fight, one man and one griffin shot down two enemy air knights one after another, and the dangerous situation of Orland in the air was quickly reversed.

Flying to a sufficient height, Leon looked around and scanned the number of Pegasus knights still soaring in the sky.

Twelve

Seven or eight air knights were unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Looking at the heavy losses of his allies, Leon also took the remaining six lion scorpion knights of the enemy into consideration.

Not enough.

The enemy must pay a higher price to make up for the losses suffered by the Pegasus Knights in this battle.

Pulling the chain hanging on his body and pulling up the crossbow that had just been thrown away, Leon clamped Gungnir with his arms, hurriedly replaced the empty arrow nest, and then loosened his armpits and grabbed the fallen shaft with his right hand.

Calling on his companions to continue the attack, the griffin roared, and the knight carrying the crossbow in one hand and the magic spear in the other rushed back to the battlefield.

The Pegasus knights, whose pressure was suddenly reduced, flew around the griffin, formed a formation and launched a counterattack.

Seeing the loss of several comrades, the air knights of Kantadar seemed to be in chaos. The leading senior knight with a fluttering cloak turned his mount and suddenly blew the horn.

After hearing the order, the Scorpion Knights, who had suffered nearly half of their casualties, dared not continue to fight with the Orlanders. They gave up the fight, dived rapidly to low altitude, and began to retreat in a panic.

The addition of the Death Claw completely reversed the situation in which the enemy was strong and we were weak, and it almost became a one-sided pursuit by Orlanders.

Under the canopy of the dense forest on the west bank of the tributary, several pairs of silent eyes looked at the fleeing Kantadar Scorpion Knights, who were getting closer and closer to their lurking area.

Stepping firmly on the rugged mountain ground under his feet, Achaji carried the bow and pressed the heavy arrow for hunting dragons onto the bowstring.

Beside him, the other war chiefs and the good players in the tribe also put arrows on the bow and raised the bow.

". Die with your horse-eating beast." War chief Uriah cursed in his heart, carrying the remnant of the disastrous defeat ten days ago, exerting all his strength, his face and arms were throbbing with veins, and slowly pulled the bow that ordinary people could not imagine.

The metal-covered bow body glowed slightly scarlet, and even made a creepy sound of squeezing.

Finally, when the griffin's blind spot presented the best angle with him, Achaji instantly let go of the bowstring.

——Buzz!

——Buzz! ——Buzz!!

Several huge heavy arrows flew out from different directions like cannonballs, wrapped in a whistling terrifying wind barrier, swept through the trees, and rushed into the sky.
