Chapter 1504: Battle of Mochizuki City (IV.)

The bright prospects promised by Baron Hurd are indeed very tempting, and the titles and fiefs especially make the lords of the manor excited, and they have raised their glasses to express their willingness to generously donate military spending, and in the future, when southern Xinjiang becomes independent, everyone here will be promoted to knighthood, and this money is well spent!

The atmosphere in the restaurant gradually warms up, and people indulge in delicious food and drinks, looking forward to a better future. The door suddenly opened, and an attendant rushed in in a panic.

"Sir! Something happened! ”

"Panic what! Tell me what's going on out there! Baron Hurd's face sank.

The attendant calmed down and replied as calmly as possible, "Many huge birds of prey have appeared in the sky above Mochizuki Castle, and they are throwing leaflets into the city......

"I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be just a flyer." Baron Hurd tugged at the corners of his mouth contemptuously, "What is written on the leaflet?" ”

"Uh...... It is said that it was a proclamation issued by the government of Koras, saying that southern Xinjiang is an inalienable territory of the kingdom of Koras, and that your governorship was removed on the day of independence of the Far East, and that he was not the legitimate ruler of Mochizuki Castle, and called on the citizens to rise up and overthrow your illegal rule......"

"Enough!" Baron Hurd slapped his palm on the table, his facial muscles contorted with extreme anger, "Seth, take your people to patrol the streets and take back those incitement leaflets and destroy them all!" Master Gaode, release all the sphinx and eagle-faced beasts, I don't want to see even a damn giant eagle in the sky of southern Xinjiang! ”

……

"Captain, the leaflets are all out, what's next?"

"Squadrons maintain air alert and observe how the enemy reacts."

"Yes!"

The Giant Eagle Wing from the Dawn spread out over Mochizuki City, and as the sun set behind Mount Mochizuki in the west, these huge figures hovering in the air also turned dark with the sky, gradually melting into the night.

Aurora, the commander of the "Dawn" air force and the captain of the Air Force of the Kingdom of Kolas, spread his wings and easily levitated at a height of 1,000 feet with the help of updrafts, and looked at the century-old capital of southern Xinjiang below with a sharp eye.

From the perspective of the city's planning pattern, Mochizuki City is actually a miniature version of Krasbourg, but compared to the new appearance of Krasbourg, this border city looks more dirty and dilapidated, with sparse shops on both sides of the street, and the surrounding communities are dilapidated and slumbed. The only two striking buildings in the city are the marketplace in the central block, which thrived on the slave trade, and the castle, which was the "totem" of Baron Hurd's wealth and authority.

"A city that should have been more prosperous and prosperous, but unfortunately it was suppressed by those illegal occupiers, and it was time to free the city from the hands of those greedy moths." Aurora muttered to herself.

At this time, the adjutant next to her let out a long whistle to remind her that the situation had changed.

Aurora turned her head to look at the castle and saw a flock of eagle-like birds rising into the air. These strange birds look a bit like griffins, but their faces are more narrow, their beaks protrude like curved hooks, and their piercing screams are full of rage.

"These guys are the 'sphinx-faced beasts' that Mr. Joseph talked about earlier, and there are quite a few of them."

"Captain, shall we rush up and fight those idiots?" The lieutenant was eager to try.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has explained that although this monster has a low level of intelligence, it has a brutal and fierce temperament, and it is difficult for us to take advantage of one-on-one, so we should use tactics instead of brute force to deal with them at this time." Aurora uses "natural spells" to activate divine magic, and in the long whistle, her body is shrouded in intense light, like a rising sun illuminating the night sky.

When the giant eagles saw the battle order issued by the co-captain with the "daylight technique", they immediately moved closer to her, and rushed towards the group of sphin-like eagle-faced beasts in the sky above the opposite castle in a dense formation.

The Griffin is a chaotic evil creature with an average intelligence stat of only 6. Master Gao De can train them to carry out simple combat commands, but he cannot impose strict discipline on these obedient birds of prey, let alone require them to master complex tactics like intelligent giant eagles, maintain formation and cooperate with each other in air combat.

When the giant eagles swooped down in a rushing formation, the sphin-faced eagle-faced beasts were still fighting separately in the air like a plate of scattered sand, and it was not surprising that they were scattered on the spot by the eagle group, and several wounded griffins fell down with a wail. The eagles did not stop, and kept the formation away from the sky above Mochizuki City under the leadership of Aurora.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the castle, Master Gao De blew a bull's horn, and the sound of the horn urged the sphin-faced eagle to chase and kill the giant eagle. Baron Hurd didn't want to see the eagle appear over his territory again, and he couldn't go back empty-handed.

The Griffin's Mippogriff had relapsed after the initial panic, and had just been attacked by a flock of eagles and had damaged several of its kind, which made them feel extremely angry, and when they heard the beast trainer blow the battle horn, they rushed out in a swarm to track the flock of eagles away from the sky above Mochizuki City.

Master Gao De watched the two flocks of birds of prey disappear into the depths of the night one after the other, and for some reason there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. After a moment's hesitation, he took out a bottle of invisibility potion from his storage bag and poured it into his throat, and then used his druid's professional ability "Wild Transformation" to transform into a vulture and take to chase the sphinx and the eagle-faced beasts.

"Captain, the stupid birds are catching up."

"Continue to carry out the predetermined combat plan and surprise them." Aurora sneered and waved her wings to raise the altitude of her flight, plunging headlong into the thick clouds over the Gobi Desert. The eagles behind her followed her into the clouds, hiding under the double cover of night and clouds.

After just two minutes, a large group of sphin-like eagle-faced beasts also rushed into the clouds one after another, and their vision was obstructed by the clouds, and no trace of the giant eagle could be found.

This group of fierce birds circled and screamed in the sea of clouds, and they were at a loss for a while. At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly set off waves, and two silver-gray airships rushed out of the sea of clouds like steel whales, flanking these sphinoid eagle-faced beasts that had not yet come to their senses left and right, and sixteen magic crystal cannons opened fire at the same time, interweaving a glittering web of death in the night sky.

Both the Dawn and Independence were connected to the Observation Crystal, and the targets that Eleanor and Aldrich locked on through the Crystal Ball were the prey of the artillery fire. Flashing lines of fire swept back and forth through the clouds, sphinxes and mirgriffs fell in succession, and the night sky was intertwined with a duet of cannon and mournful screams.

In a short five-minute air battle, the two armed airships poured out a total of nearly 5,000 rounds of two-pound fusiform bombs equipped with magic guide proximity fuses, like a rain of steel in the airspace of the battle, killing and seriously injuring more than 70 sphin-like and eagle-faced beasts.
