Chapter 48: Civil Strife
At dusk, the time limit of magic also came to an end, and the warriors gradually woke up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Packing up, lining up, all the movements of the fighters flowed smoothly.
Their next mission was to fly through the north, where there were only rocks and lava.
Although the fighters did not complain, their faces were full of reluctance.
Rick was now on the back of the wyvern and ready to go.
"Wait!" Fall flew directly in front of Lick from the back of the group.
Lick frowned and asked, "What's wrong again?" ”
"I thought of another way to make it okay for everyone to not have to endure that temperature." Luo smiled confidently.
Rick hesitated, then turned to look at the warriors behind him, and noticed that their faces had expectant expressions.
"Hey! Say, whether I can adopt it or not is another matter! ”
"It's actually very simple, we just need to fly a little higher!"
"That's it? Don't you know that there are birds of prey in the sky? The only combat magic I can use is the earth type, and I have no combat power in the air. And if you fly high, you won't be able to find the entrance. ”
Luo smiled: "I've already thought of countermeasures!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! Lick's frown retracted.
"Based on so many days of observation, you must also know that those birds of prey in the sky are acting alone."
"That's right! Why, you want to kill them one by one? ”
"No, no, no, that's too time-consuming, you think about it, since it's going alone, then it's limited in the amount of food it needs. Moreover, there were fewer birds of prey in the northern sky than in the south, and we encountered five or six at most along the way. ”
Rick laughed when he heard this, "Hey, hey! You don't want to feed them, do you? ”
"Indeed, that's what I think, as long as we take the food that the birds of prey need on the road, we can use the food to lure them away when we meet them."
"Haha, great idea, great idea."
Luo smiled again: "Right! ”
Lick changed his mind and said, "But are you sure that birds of prey will be attracted away by their food?" Those birds of prey don't eat a lot, and if we don't bring enough, we'll still be attacked. ”
Lick paused, looking at Luo's expression earnestly. "Look at your confident expression, you must have already thought about how to deal with these!"
"Yes, it's very simple, just a proper flight formation, these predators are fierce but not stupid, and they won't risk attacking us when they find our team threatening."
"So, what kind of formation it is, let's hear it."
"Thirty men, five rows of six, and the men in each row will hold their hands together, and the men in the first six columns will hold the tail of the man in front of them. Also, a row of five people has difficulty flying, so the second or fourth person in each row should not vibrate their wings and adopt a gliding stance and let the other people fly. This may not be fast, but it does avoid the attacks of these birds of prey. ”
After listening to this, everyone froze there, looking incredulous.
"It's... This... This formation... Very.. Very thoughtful, never heard of it. ”
"That's pretty much it, if you want to be safer, you can attach the weapon to your back and keep it pointing upwards."
"This..."
"Lick, if you fly straight over, there will be no fewer people who get dehydrated in the middle of the flight than if you fly from a high place."
"I know this, but how do you find the entrance when you fly high, even if you have the Blood Demon Eye, you can't see so far."
Luo put on a disdainful expression, tilted his head and said, "Hey, I said that I told you that my blood demon can't see so far, don't underestimate the bloodline of the royal family!" ”
"Is it the blood of the royal family... It's really not to be underestimated. ”
"Then I'll go ahead with you in detail, and then I'll ask Dick's men what they think."
Lick looked at the warriors and saw that they were still in a state of confusion.
"It's okay, you say, anyway, it's not in a hurry, it's best to arrive at the destination in the most perfect condition."
......
"Fall!" Betty called Fall's name.
"Huh?"
"You're amazing!"
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"It's the flight formation you proposed, it feels really powerful."
Luo smiled and replied modestly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Thunder also flew above the fall at this time, and then slowly descended.
"Yo, fall, Betty!"
"Huh? Yo! Luo replied.
"Hello!" Betty smiled.
"Luo, how did you come up with the plan you proposed just now, although it sounds strange, but I feel that it is very reliable."
Luo smiled bitterly: "It's a shame to say this, I just think that if I go through it directly, I will definitely be the first to fall, so I forced myself to come up with another way." ”
"That's it! But this is the way you came up to help more people. ”
"yes, that's the best!" Luo smiled embarrassedly.
......
Two days later, after the unremitting efforts of the soldiers, enough food was finally gathered.
"Prepare to go, line up, and tie the meat to the dragon's back." Rick commanded.
"Take off vertically, then get in formation. Let's go! ”
At Lick's command, all the warriors spread their wings and flew straight up.
After reaching the predetermined altitude, Lick shouted again, and all the fighters immediately slowed down and stopped, and then formed up in the same way as they fell.
"Let's go, due north!"
......
At an altitude of several hundred meters, the fighters flew in a neat formation according to the prescribed formation. Fly at the front of the group, observing the sky around him with the Bloodseeker.
"A bird of prey was spotted at eleven o'clock." Fall reported.
"Well, all move towards two o'clock!" Lick stood up, turned and shouted behind him.
"No, there are two o'clock directions."
"What, they don't fly so densely."
"I don't know why, anyway, I have to lower the height first." Luo said.
"All hands down fifty meters!"
Lick walked towards the dragon's head, looking carefully ahead.
"It's coming towards us at two o'clock." Luo said in a very serious tone.
"Sure enough, you still can't avoid it? Then you can only throw away food. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe we can avoid it and let me see." Luo turned his head and continued to observe.
"Well, over to you!"
In the distance, a huge bird of prey spotted the team and was flying towards them. The raptor is large, almost five meters in size, and its whole body is covered with gray-white feathers, which looks like an enlarged version of an eagle.
Luo frowned, and said helplessly to Lick: "Maybe you can't avoid it, it seems that its target is us." ”
"Can't you avoid it? Let's prepare the bait first! ”
The giant eagle flew towards their team at breakneck speed, its sharp eyes full of murderous intent.
A giant eagle's cry pierced the sky, and it accelerated again to attack the warriors who were close at hand.
Rick immediately picked up a piece of flesh half the size of himself and threw it in the direction the eagle was flying.
But it was clear that the giant eagle was not interested in this piece of meat, and it did not adjust its goals.
"Roar out!"
At Lick's order, the warriors all let out a deafening roar.
"Haaa
The roar of the warriors clearly startled the eagle, which let out a short, crisp scream and immediately turned around and flew towards its food.
The warriors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the giant eagle turn the direction of its flight. Flying at the front of the line, he also showed a relieved and confident smile. Lick also involuntarily let out a sigh of 'success'. Betty, who was sitting on the back of the dragon, was also very happy, and kept clapping her hands to express her inner joy.
"Very well, let's continue to fly due north!" Luo shouted.
This success boosted morale, and the fighters behind also replied loudly, "Oh! ”
Later, they met a second and a third on the way, and although the process was not very smooth, all the eagles had chosen the pieces of meat thrown by Lick so far.
By now, half of the trip has passed, and it has taken a lot of time because of the formation problem.
"Lick!"
"What's wrong? Fall. ”
"I think I can fly low now!"
"Huh? What's the situation? So far, it feels like your plan has been very successful! ”
"Yes! But I always felt strange, it seemed that the eagles closer to the north became more and more ferocious, although I don't know why they flew here, but now they are very short of food, and I am afraid that the eagles I will encounter in the future will not be satisfied with the bait we have put on us. I didn't think of this before, it's.... Alas! ”
"Hey, don't sigh, you're doing a good job, so I'll listen to you, and then I'll fly at a low altitude, I hope you can hold on."
"I've already flown so far, the rest of the distance is nothing."
"That's good." With that, Lick stood up and ordered the warriors to unpack and start flying low.
At first, the fighters were at a loss, why did they suddenly fly at a low altitude when they had been so successful before. After hearing this order, many soldiers complained.
"It's an order! I'll explain it to you later. Lick straightened up and said very seriously.
At this time, one of the warriors couldn't help it, his face was extremely fierce, and he roared very angrily: "What are you tm, order, order, tell you, Lao Tzu is not doing it today, and it seems that you can't use combat magic in the air, can't!" Can't be so arrogant? ”
These words directly shocked all the fighters, who were all thinking about the same thing in their hearts at this moment.
"Yes, he can't use combat magic, why should we be afraid of him, this place is in our best interest right now, it is better to kill him when he can't use magic, so that..."
They turned their heads to each other and looked at their companions, and with the tacit understanding they had made over the years, through eye contact, it seemed that they had unified their opinions.
Dick also seems to have put up with Rick for a long time, and although he behaves respectfully to Rick on the ground, he is very unhappy in his heart. After all, under the oppression of others, there is no one who is really willing to help you.
"Die!" The warriors disarmed their formation, drew their weapons from their waists, and charged at Lick, Ray, Fall, and Betty.
