Chapter 486: Giant Eagle Knight
In addition to the sailors serving on the ten ships, the Coast Guard of Hakull Harbor also includes three special forces - the Pearl Knights, the Giant Eagle Knights, and the Armored Knights in Grass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Pearl Knight" is an advanced class unique to the Bend League, simply put, a paladin who is good at fighting in the sea, and Viktoria herself is a paladin and pearl knight.
Roland and his entourage visited the Pearl Knights on the deck of the "Yanbo" for surface combat training, which was deeply eye-opening.
After all, the sea is different from the solid land, even in a calm bay, it is difficult for a person who lacks strict training to maintain balance on the back of a galloping aquatic horse, let alone carry out tactical drills such as changing direction, detouring, interspersing, and charging.
The most amazing thing about the pearl knights of White Gull Harbor is the magical riding skill, if it weren't for the blue waves under his feet, Roland couldn't believe that those skilled riders with spears were practicing at sea: they were almost integrated with the aquatic horses under their crotch, galloping like the wind with the ups and downs of the waves, even if there were hundreds of terrible waves in front of them, they were all fearless in line with guns to charge, the roar of the waves swept in, and smashed on these young knights, but when the tide passed, the pearl knights all surfaced, still in a neat lineup, Not a single person fell off the horse.
"Roland, you are also a seasoned knight, what do you think of our navy boys, is there anything that needs to be improved?" Victoria asked.
Roland touched his chin and said with a wry smile: "Frankly, if it were on land, I would be happy to learn riding skills with them, but on the sea, I would have to bow to the wind." ”
With a proud smile, Victoria picked up a conch and sounded the rallying call. The Pearl Knights quickly turned their horses' heads, and the horses galloped in formation, and the horses' hooves raised waves, dragging a row of graceful arcs on the sea, and soon they went around to the front of the bow of the "Yangbo", and five hundred knights held their guns in one hand, and gave a military salute to everyone at the bow with their left hands.
Looking at this well-trained knight order up close, Roland had a new feeling. The pearl knight has at least 5 levels of paladin before advancing, in order to avoid weapons and equipment being hindered by the resistance of the sea and rusted by the humid environment, the cuirass worn on the body and the spear in the hand are all expensive pearl steel forging, the money paid by the white gull port to build this elite army must be an astronomical amount, the cost is so high, no wonder the strong financial strength of the white gull port is a little unbearable, and the cost is required to form a coalition army to share the cost equally.
In fact, the Pearl Knights are not the most expensive branch of the Coast Guard.
The "Yangbo" continued, and half an hour later approached an island. The island is a small island, barren land, with steep reefs everywhere, and many huge birds soaring over the island, their wings spread out to a length of 20 feet. With the help of binoculars, Roland could vaguely see that each large bird was equipped with a bridle, bridle, and a large crossbow, and that a knight in leather armor and a spear was carried on its back.
"That's our Knights of the Giant Eagle." Victoria introduces to the crowd.
The eagles formed a column in the air, starting with the leader of the group, and successively gathered their wings and dived downward, sweeping a hundred feet above the sea, while the knight on the back of the eagle pulled the crossbow and fired a speargun.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Sharp spearguns shot into the sea one after another, and the colorful leather balls floating on the sea were pierced by the spearguns, and exploded one after another, showing the precision of the Giant Eagle Knights.
"That's amazing!"
Lyudmila is a marksman herself, and knows best how difficult it is to maintain balance on the back of a high-speed diving eagle, and it is even more difficult to shoot at a relatively moving target while maintaining balance.
"Vita, I see a big basket hanging from the chest of the giant eagle, is that for bombs?" Roland asked.
Victoria nodded, "If necessary, the Knights of the Eagle can carry out long-range bombing missions, dropping bombs on enemy ships and even ground facilities. ”
In order to let Roland and the others see the implementation of this tactic clearly, she blew the conch again and gave the bomb throwing command to the giant eagle knights in the air.
The eagles swooped down in formation again. The knight on the back of the eagle pulled a rope, the bottom of the basket was open, and a large pile of empty wine bottles was thrown down, and the sea splashed with a little spray.
"The real bomb is made of alchemy agents such as blazing glue and thunder stone mixed with fuel, sealed in a shell, falling from a high altitude, it will rupture and explode when it is impacted, even if it comes into contact with seawater, it can continue to burn, it is expensive, and it will cause pollution to the sea area, so we rarely use live ammunition in our usual training." Victoria explained.
The giant eagles in the air completed the bomb throwing training, and when they saw the "Yangbo" waving the flag, they all turned around and flew over, and one after another gathered their wings and landed on the open deck.
Witnessing the return of the eagles, Roland couldn't help but think of the scene of the return of the fighter group on the earth to the aircraft carrier. The "Yangbo" provides a platform for the Giant Eagle to rest at sea, and the Giant Eagle escorts the "Yangbo", and the relationship between the two is indeed very similar to that between a carrier-based aircraft and an aircraft carrier.
The giant eagle that landed first on deck was larger than its peers and was clearly the leader of the flock. A young man jumped off its back, strode to the bow of the ship, and gave Viktoria a military salute.
"Thank you, Instructor Zehir." After returning the salute, Victoria introduced to Roland, "This is Zehir Edric, a flight instructor hired by our Giant Eagle Knights, and the Coast Guard's giant eagles are all domesticated by the Edric family. ”
The Edric family?
Roland's heart moved slightly, and he looked closely at Zehir Adric, who looked to be in his twenties, not tall and a little thin, with tanned skin, short hair, and distinctive half-elf features on his facial features, and his demeanor exuded a calm and capable temperament.
"Instructor Zehir is from Eagle Island?" Roland asked tentatively, "May I ask what Sir Fleman Edric is your name?" ”
"Fryman is my father, may I ask who you are......" Zehir looked at Roland curiously, his dark face suddenly appeared with surprise, and his eyes widened and asked, "You are Mr. Roland Koras?" The Syndra knight from Kitland? ”
Roland smiled and nodded, holding out his right hand to him.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Zehir excitedly stretched out his hands, held Roland's hand and shook it vigorously, "My father has long received a letter from Teacher Valentina, and learned that you are coming to visit Baiou Harbor and are looking forward to your visit at home, I didn't expect that I was luckier than his old man, and it was so unexpected to meet you here!"
