Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 34 The Rescue of Hedamic (I)
The brilliance of the morning sun is showing its first appearance on the sea, just like a shy girl who has just lifted her veil, and the harpy flying in the sky completely obscures this golden color. [Latest chapter reading.]
The officer's face turned pale, he turned his head and jumped into the sea with a "plop", and when Luo Lan's and Alexander turned their heads in surprise, he had already climbed onto the sampan and urged the crew to row the way they came.
Luo Lan They still remember how the clerk was sweating profusely and panting when he first got on the boat, but now his crisp and neat appearance looked like he had rehearsed countless times in advance, making people wonder if the two were the same person.
In the sky, there were about a thousand harpies, and the dark clouds gradually moved slowly and seemingly slowly towards the sky above the five ships, absorbing all the heat and light, and isolating them.
Luo Lan squinted his eyes and looked up, the wide wings of the harpies were gray feathers, their heads were similar to those of humans, only the mouth was pointy, the hair was sparse, the huge keel protrusion on the chest looked like the chest of a human woman, and the specific gender could not be seen, their two lower limbs similar to animal claws were firmly buckled with a rough prismatic stone, and the ugly screaming sound was overwhelming, as if rubbing some rough metal in the ears of people.
Those who had just sat on the sampan immediately panicked, shouting and screaming mixed together, shattering the silence of the morning.
A knight with a long beard looked very calm, he drew his long sword in his hand and roared, this huge sound combined with his tall figure seemed to have boundless intimidating power, thinking that he was also quite prestigious among the nobles, and immediately suppressed the scene. He glanced solemnly at the shocked faces around him. "Sirs, have you forgotten what you have come to do, have you forgotten your glory, have you forgotten your faith in the gods, have you forgotten your sword in your hand, have you forgotten ......?"
This series of analogies made the crowd dizzy, most of them had obviously not experienced such a thing, and they looked at the sky in horror and looked around in a daze as they looked around for a place to escape.
The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, and the knight nodded in satisfaction, obviously. The situation has been brought under control by him. I was a man of natural leadership, and he triumphantly drew his sword, held it high in the air, and shouted, "Let these wicked and lowly harpies see our power......
"Bang!"
A huge stone fell from the sky, compressing his last interjection into a short scream.
He proved his strength.
Everyone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then "boom" was like a frying pan and dispersed, to his honor, to his faith. Going to his sword, some nobles threw the decorative swords that got in the way around them into the sea, and on the deck you pushed me into the belly of the cabin, in their eyes, why did the usually spacious hatch look so cramped now?
As the light above them dimmed, and fell from the sky and poured down onto the deck and cabin sails, panic began to spread among the crowd. As a result, some of the slender men fell into the sea, others were trampled under their feet, and with the screams of the noblewomen, etiquette and morality were trampled down.
These aristocrats actually understand very well. Only preserving one's own life seems to be the most important thing, and those empty dignity at this time are not as practical as a magical barrier.
However, it is not that there are no calm and calm people in the ship, shouting not to panic, how can many of these nobles just want to come over under the banner of slaying dragons, or increase some of their own reputation. Many people have only compared themselves to their own servants a few times in their lives. I've never even seen a real duel, let alone fight a black dragon. Even if they suddenly encountered the ground harpy in front of them, they didn't have the courage to fight it, and they all ran around.
In fact, because the harpy people are also afraid of being attacked by bows and arrows or magic, they fly at a considerable distance from the hull of the ship, so the stones they throw are not very accurate, and they are often aimed at a certain target, but they are far away from the bottom.
In this case, whether you are hit or not can only depend on your character, and running around can only increase the probability of being hit, but it will not play a role.
The huge hull of the ship was the first to be targeted, and the stones were sporadically smashed at first, but as the harpys gathered more and more, the dense rain of stones fell all over the sky, and huge columns of water rose into the sky.
The ship became shaky during the attack, the splinters of wood and the sudden sound kept sounding, and it seemed that it could capsize at any time, in fact, the sturdy hull was not something that those smaller stones could sink, if everyone could honestly hide in the belly of the cabin, it might be able to avoid some dangers, but some knights did not know whether to use their shields to carry it, and they were smashed by gravity and their own mass of stones and vomited blood on the spot.
The sky began to flicker with the light of magic, but the condensation of those elements was pitifully small, and the nobles liked to learn some small magic to decorate themselves, these magic that had neither lethal power nor any jurisdiction to speak of, used to scare civilians and laymen may still have some deterrent power, but in the eyes of the harpy man, it was obviously the focus of care, and the light flashed, and there were suddenly more than a dozen or even dozens of stones thrown head-on in this small area, and this covering attack suddenly made a series of screams sound below, blasting those weak elements to collapse and annihilate。
Those who sat on the sampan first, and looked noble, regretted it at the moment, and at least could avoid such an attack in the belly of the ship, but in the vast sea, they were unobstructed, directly exposed to the noses of the eagles, and became the best living targets.
Luo Lan noticed that the harpy people were not throwing indiscriminately, but lined up in a long line, drawing a graceful arc in the sky according to a half-moon-shaped trajectory, and divided into several waves with each other, after the harpy people in the front row threw stones, the harpy people in the rear moved in turn like dominoes, and the height dropped to the lowest when approaching the ship in the middle during the flight, and finally after leaving this area, they flapped their wings again and rose into the air, avoiding being attacked by the bow and arrow of the port.
Such an orderly and organized attack was embodied in the harpy, which had always been low in intelligence, which made Luo Lan a little surprised.
And his ship, which was the closest to the port, was the last to be attacked.
He ordered Hyjes and the undead acolytes not to gather around him, but to spread out among themselves, as the stones seemed to them to be easy to avoid if they judged the situation.
After some of the eagle people turned around after throwing the stones in their claws, they quickly found that the people on the ship did not seem to have any attack ability, and they were much easier to deal with than the people on the shore, so they lingered and landed on the mast one after another, and a hawk man found that Luo Lan's side was less numerous, and with a scream, he broke away from the group and swooped down, but just as he approached, he was directly twisted into several stumps by several sharp sword lights in the air, and the bloodstained feathers fell one after another. Maybe it's because there are not many people on Luo Lan's ship, and the eagle man came down to attack a few times, and after finding that he couldn't take advantage of it and took the lives of a few people of the same kind, he rarely approached here, and focused on the other ships.
But not all ships were chaotic, on a boat behind Luo Lan, the sound of chanting and chanting resounded across the sea, countless dazzling white holy lights and golden divine fighting qi converged, and as soon as the stones falling from the sky approached, they were either bounced off or smashed by the rippling and circulating protective wall.
The light-blessed ship was the one in which Devonne was riding, and she was standing in the bow of the ship, chanting incantations with a solemn and sacred expression, surrounded by a corporal guard of fifty Templar swordsmen, slashing swords, runes and halos looming over them. This large, holy light made the harpy people fly around in groups, and did not dare to approach easily.
Because of the presence of these two ships, some sampans that were free from the sea naturally moved closer to the two ships, and one of the priestesses suddenly exclaimed, and the protective light of the ornament on her body flashed brightly, blocking a fallen stone aside, and she also fell into the water, and immediately cried out for help in horror.
Luo Lan's eyes flickered, and he found that the insignia on the female priest and the texture of the robe were not something that ordinary priests could have, so he immediately called an undead acolyte and said, "Help her up." ”
Several of the harpies had apparently seen someone fall into the water, and in the midst of the howling, they flapped their wings and swooped down fiercely. The sharp claws of their lower limbs were sharp and powerful, and they could effortlessly scratch human heads, and at such a distance, it seemed that the priestess could not wait for help.
But suddenly, an eagle-like figure seemed to have hit something, and with a "bang" it was directly exploded into a rain of blood in the air!
Luo Lan looked around in surprise, and at some point, small white balls composed of cyclones were suspended in the air, slowly rising and drifting away, and more and more, as soon as several eagles approached, they were blown to pieces in a miserable hiss.
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and look out into the harbor.
A figure is standing at the top of the harbor building.
There, Hedamic smiled proudly.
