Chapter 476: Archery Skills

Discovering Pete's danger and perceiving the enemy's plan, Jian Chen did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the battlefield with these own guards, and at the same time ordered the manticore cavalry to launch a long-range attack.

He now had absolute confidence in the archery skills of these manticore cavalry, because he had seen the superb archery skills of these manticore cavalry in the battle that night took place near the Angel Clan's hermitage.

So he wasn't worried at all that the manticore cavalry would accidentally injure Pete, and these manticore cavalry did not disappoint Jian Chen.

After deducting the twenty companions who remained in the alliance, the one hundred and eighty manticore cavalry carefully trained by Kedrak, in the midst of Jian Chen's seemingly calm but slightly anxious command, silently used the refined compound bow in his hand to shoot one feather arrow after another.

Their movements were fast and steady, and the continuous arrow technique passed down from the elven archery master was vividly exerted by them, one hundred and eighty soldiers, in the sound of a buzzing bowstring, in a very short period of time, nearly a thousand sharp arrows were poured into the bodies of those gods and fire elementals who were targeted by Chen Jian, and the rate of fire was quite amazing.

The powerful compound bow and refined arrows made the feather arrows they shoot have the same amazing lethality, and their grasp of the advance is also extremely accurate, and even the impact of the sea breeze on the flight of the arrows has been calculated by them, so in the time that Pickjam was stunned by this sudden situation, many fire elementals and gods and monsters fell under their arrows.

If it weren't for the distance between the two sides, which gave the gods and fire elementals more time to dodge, the results that they could achieve as a scorpion lion cavalry would have been even more.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two-thirds of the fire elementals besieging Pete were wiped out, and the remaining number made them no longer able to form an effective encirclement of Pete, and Pete also seized this opportunity to kill three fire elementals in a row, highlighting the encirclement of the fire elementals in one go, and then desperately urging the poisonous scorpion lion under him, trying to distance himself from the enemy and get out of danger.

But the gods and monsters who were rushing towards him did not give up, and in the thunderous roar of Pickjam, with the will of the magician as their first priority, they resisted the rain of arrows of the manticore cavalry, desperately chasing Pete, trying to complete their somewhat unlikely task at the beginning, and those fire elementals who were fighting fiercely with the harpy also began to cooperate with the gods and monsters to surround Pete from another direction under the command of Clark, making Pete's situation a little dangerous again.

But because of the distraction of commanding the fire elementals, Clarke's third magic had to be interrupted.

Seeing this, the harpys of course refused to let the fire elementals succeed, and immediately followed behind the fire elementals' butts and chased and beat fiercely, and on the other side, they were busy annihilating the main force of the alliance flight force of the enemy gargoyle legion, and at this time they finally discovered that something was wrong, leaving a small part to continue to clean up the remaining gargoyles, most of them also hurried in the direction where Pete was.

So an extremely strange scene appeared, and the focus of the two sides suddenly turned from a flying ship to a half-elf Pete wearing the divine power of the dragon king.

This situation made Pete very annoyed, and at this time he also figured out why the enemy was pestering him, but in the current situation, although he had the intention to order everyone to leave him alone and seize the enemy's flying ship with all his might, he had no effective means to pass the order to the alliance troops who were separated from him by the enemy.

But this situation did not last long, the training and education of middle and lower rank officers of the alliance finally began to play his due role at this time, some officers calmly and accurately judged the situation, and then these officers began to rush towards the flying ship with their squad.

At this time, Chen Jian also conveyed his order to everyone in a special way, and the manticore cavalry adjusted their altitude and position again, and they gave up continuing to attack the gods and fire elementals who were chasing Pete, and began to attack the enemy mages who were standing on the deck of the flying ship and watching the battle.

The selection of the manticore cavalry is very strict, and the training is even more arduous, but correspondingly, their archery skills are very amazing, perhaps they are not able to compare with the silver Pegasus knights of the elven kingdom in some aspects due to their short time in the army, but they are undoubtedly quite good archers, and the rate of fire is also amazing.

From opening the bow and arrows to aiming and shooting, the time they need is very short, the archers in the Erathia world are no better than the archers on the earth, and Chen Jian is dazzled by the actions that are done in one go, which is why Chen Jian thinks that even if he has a pistol to defend himself, he does not have the confidence to compete with an archery master.

He nearly lost his life when he fought elven archers in the tunnels beneath Castle Harmondale.

In order to prevent the problem of excessive consumption of arrows caused by the high rate of fire, the manticore cavalry of each alliance carried one hundred and fifty feathered arrows each, in addition to each of them with two bows, and these 150 feathered arrows were divided into five quivers, one of the five quivers was carried on their backs, and four were hung on the special saddle of the poisonous scorpion lion, so that they could easily access them at any time.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring Pete, they only used the technique of beaded arrows, but now the magicians who attack the enemy, there is no such scruples, but they let it go, reaching out in the quiver, five fingers pinching four feather arrows on the bowstring at the same time, a bow is four arrows in unison, one hundred and eighty people, one is seven hundred and twenty arrows at a time, plus their extremely fast rate of fire, just a few times, thousands of feather arrows have been shot out in an instant, like a pouring rain fell on the deck of the flying ship.

The deck of the flying ship is extremely wide, at this time, except for a few magicians who are guarding the shooting positions on the side of the ship on the lower cabin and protecting the sides of the flying ship, most of the magicians are on standby on the deck, but due to the magic immunity space of the dragon king's divine power, they have lost their role in this battle, at this time, these have lost everything they can on the ship according to Pickjam's orders, and are nervously watching the development of the battle like Pickjam, The Bracada mages, who were staring at the actions of the gods and fire elementals, did not expect the enemy to suddenly attack them, and the sea breeze also covered the whistling sound of the feathered arrows breaking through the air, so that the mages were stunned by the rain of arrows before they could react to what was happening.

The manticore cavalry was flying very high in the air at this time, and the rain of arrows that fell on the deck at a forty-five degree angle made the magicians fart and pee, and the ghosts cried wolf, and they were in a mess, they were scurrying around like ants on a hot pot, trying to find a safe place, and they lost their magic, and they no longer had the protection of the magic shield, and the gorgeous but thin magician's robes and magician's hats specially made to reflect their noble status did not provide them with effective protection, and they fell in pieces in the midst of the screams.

Each dead mage had at least ten or more feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, which made them look like a large hedgehog that was motionless when they fell to the ground, and the deck was suddenly covered with dense grass composed of feathered arrows.

And the grass was so dense that when many of the harpies finally rushed to the flying ship, they had to carefully find a suitable place to stay, and before they could do so, the manticore cavalry left at least thirty feathered arrows each on the flying ship.

Clarke, the famous fire magic master in Bracada, is dead, even if he is a fire magic master, he is only a mortal, without the protection of the magic shield, he can't survive the rain of arrows like other magicians, and the poor generation of grandmasters is engrossed in re-preparing the fire element to summon this powerful magic before he dies, and he didn't notice the enemy's deadly attack at all, and his death is unknown.

Originally, as long as he had enough time, he could keep summoning fire elementals to help in the battle before his magic power ran out, so maybe he could really save this flying ship, but the Alliance Army didn't give him this time.

Pickjam was not dead yet, but he was not far from death now, as early as when the first wave of attacks came, he had already fallen from the arrow, and at this time he had five or six feathered arrows stuck in his body, and fell in a pool of his own blood, his eyes staring up at the sky blankly, and the ball of destruction in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and he did not know which corner it had rolled to.

He couldn't believe that he had failed so inexplicably, so suddenly, so completely.

Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to react, and his obsession with capturing the enemy commander alive and preserving the flying ship also made him ignore too many things.

He only thought that the enemy would do his best to rescue the commander who was wearing the divine power of the dragon king, but he didn't expect that the enemy would instead target his own magicians, and came to the bottom of the kettle.

"Elf...... Elven Archery ...... Why ......"

He recognized the opponent's attack, but he really couldn't figure out why there were elven archers among the opponents, could it be that the figures riding on the poisonous scorpion lion in the distance were actually those elven silver pegasus knights he had seen in the last battle?

This speculation terrified him, and this fear even exceeded his fear of death.

Then he finally remembered why the sword technique used by the enemy commander made him feel familiar, it was not a sword technique at all, it was an elven sword technique, this kind of sword technique, he had seen it many times when he was fighting with the elves.

Is that an elf? Why can an elf command Negan's army?

The more Pickjam thought about it, the more scared he became.

If the Elven Kingdom were involved in this battle, what would it really mean? Is it the Elven Kingdom that has infiltrated the Evermont Islands and secretly opposes the Kingdom of Bracada, or is it the rebel army in the Elven Kingdom that is operating all this, and how did they collude with the Negans? And how much do they know about the secrets of the Evermont Islands?

With difficulty, he reached out and pulled out a delicate magic scroll from his bosom, and Pickjam struggled to unfold it with the last of his strength.

This is the magic scroll he used to escape, he doesn't want to die, as long as he can use this magic scroll to return to Celeste City, he can be rescued, and then he has to report his amazing discovery to the Immortal King.

It's just that to his disappointment, the magic scroll didn't take effect after it was opened, because the magic immunity space of the dragon king's divine power still exists.

Looking at the many harpies flying down in the sky, Pickjam swallowed his last breath helplessly, his eyes were wide open, staring at the sky fixedly, his face was full of unwillingness, and he didn't bat at death.
