Chapter 893: Javelin!
The content of the letter is very simple, Hippolyta directly drew the route of the Amazons in the form of a drawing.
If it weren't for the recent search of the two airships Laughing Craftsman and Tiger Shark around the clock, coupled with the topographic map provided by Elizabeth, Xu Yichen really couldn't see what this picture was.
The letter also distorted and said that the total number of Amazons sent troops this time was 463 people.
This is also a bad habit of the Amazons, who do not have their own writing and are very resistant to foreign cultural practices, even Queen Hippolyta herself cannot write fluently.
"Xu Yichen!" In contrast, Anahote's talent for language learning is much better than that of the illiterate queen of the Amazons, and she is the first Far South to pronounce Xu Yichen's name correctly: "Don't kill too many people!" They're all my sisters! ”
Xu Yichen casually burned the letter paper with his fingertips, and nodded: "We will cooperate in the future, there will not be too many casualties, that is not in our interests, go back and protect Elizabeth, there are still hidden noble forces in the city." ”
Anahota stomped her foot hard and turned away, feeling that she could not get along with Elizabeth as she had before.
That's the difference between ordinary people and political animals, who are not the same species at all.
Xu Yichen's purpose is very clear, drag it in the forest, defeat the Amazon team, make the Council of Elders lose face and lose strength, and then take the team from Godram City to the door and force Queen Hippolyta to hand over the culprit who started the war.
It's just another scene in which the Cyris people act as villains, and the elected leader who was ordered to put on a role in enduring humiliation and burden, and many of the surrounding vassal states of New China like to do this, and they want to set up a monument when they become cousins.
Xu Yichen did not use the forces of the Marines and Godrim City, who needed to stay here to deal with the escalating war.
This time, the Demon Hunter left Godrim City in the Tiger Shark airship and headed for the depths of the Black Forest, with fifty heavily armed orc men in the back cabin.
The Song Empire's marines, who had been fully firearmed, were not suitable for the jungle environment, as the dense trees prevented them from expelling dense formations, blocked the ballistics of the muskets, and the humid air in the jungle made it difficult for the gunpowder to fire for a long time.
And the strong orcs are accustomed to the environment in the Black Forest, and they have been begging for a living in the Black Forest since they came across the sea, so they have some experience.
For Xu Yichen, this was just an ordinary operation, but for the strong orcs, this was the first time they had carried out a mission independently after following the new boss, which was of great significance.
Ever since Grom Hellroar left Wangxiang City to recruit the remaining orcs, the orcs who remained in Wangxiang have been trying to express themselves.
They all rushed to do the dirty work, whether it was charging into battle, or moving bricks to build a house, there were no complaints, except for the cooks and logistics officials in the entire Wangxiang City, almost everyone felt that this gang of black big people was very real.
Their only drawback is that they are too edible, and until now, there have been a total of fifty strong orc warriors on the side of Godrim City, and the Elizabeth Lord has come to complain, they can't afford such ferocious consumption.
At the speed of the Amazons, it would take at most a day and a half to get from their territory to Godrim City, and that's still counting the time to gather warriors.
In other words, when Xu Yichen saw the letter, the Amazonian team had already set off, that is, the war was about to begin.
The captain of the Tiger Shark was a young man in his early thirties, which was definitely the youngest of all captains, and he was more aggressive than the captain of the Laughing Smith, and showed a strong desire to participate in the upcoming battle.
Xu Yichen had been standing on the side of the ship and using [Wolf Spirit Vision] to look down, although he knew the other party's marching route, he was still used to using his own eyes to confirm that he was looking for a suitable ambush location.
While the Demon Hunter was observing below, there were also people in the forest watching him.
Four Amazonian warriors in their prime stood scattered on several tree trunks, holding rune-engraved javelins in their hands, the magical knowledge that the Amazons had always retained, and they had the ability to craft magical weapons.
The amazon, as a fierce man who dared to fight the hard steel of the witch king back then, was naturally not in vain, and the demon hunter saw a dark red figure in the distance passing by, and before he had time to take a closer look, he heard an explosive sound in his ears!
A large arm-thick hole suddenly appeared in the Tiger Shark's airbag, and it continued to expand as the air flow poured outward!
"Enemy attack!" The young captain immediately yelled, trying to maintain the balance of the airships, these airships were first built as technical demonstrators, and the process was very aggressive, in order to pursue a large lift-to-weight ratio, the protection of the airbags was still a little weak: "On the damage management team!" ”
Xu Yichen determined that the thing that had broken the airbag before was a javelin, a javelin thrown by the Amazons.
"Lower the height!" The Demon Hunter stopped the captain's order: "The next round of enemy attack may be coming soon, quickly reduce the altitude and prepare to abandon the ship!" ”
He didn't know how many Amazons could throw javelins at that speed, and he didn't want to bet that these airships simply couldn't cope with a war of this level, and instead of risking repairing the airships, it was better to save the personnel first.
These crew members on the airship are all valuable technical talents, Xu Yichen is not sorry for an airship, as long as the loess area is willing to build as many as necessary.
The young captain seemed reluctant to give up his airship, since they had arrived in the Far South, no airship captain had abandoned the ship, and he did not want to be the pioneer of this record.
But Xu Yichen's order must be carried out!
"Descend altitude!" The captain roared, his eyes red, but before his order could be carried out, there was another roar, and the descent speed of the Tiger Shark suddenly doubled!
The center of gravity of the entire Tiger Shark changed with the distribution of the leak location, and it fell downward at an angle of forty-five degrees!
"Steady! Empty the rear airbags! The captain didn't care about his dignity at this time, and he realized that the enemy he encountered this time was indeed capable of shooting down the airship.
Xu Yichen glanced at the place where he had found the figure before, and there was no trace of it.
These Amazons still have a bit of a foundation! But he didn't believe that these guys could shoot a few more of these javelins!
