Chapter 205: Blocking the Pursuers
"Get on board!"
Looking at the panicked servants on the opposite bank, the cavalry leader did not suspect deception and immediately gave the order to cross the river.
Under the cover of their companions' bows and arrows, the cavalrymen jumped off their horses and onto the abandoned ferry, where more than eighty cavalrymen, about half of whom boarded the boat, and rowed swiftly toward the opposite shore under the control of two experienced sailors.
The pursuit seemed to be going very smoothly, and as long as their own men were on the opposite shore, it was almost impossible for the other side to escape.
But just when the cavalry leader was secretly happy, the boat that had reached the center of the river stopped, and no matter how hard a few soldiers who acted as boatmen tried, the boat seemed to be nailed to the center of the river by a huge anchor, and it only spun in place, but could not advance a bit.
"Not good!"
The cavalry leader who witnessed this scene secretly screamed that it was not good, and was about to loudly remind his subordinates to pay attention, the mutation had happened, and there was a bang, a big hole was broken in the bottom of the boat, and a water column the size of a bucket rushed up from below, and the soldiers hurriedly came up to seal the loophole, but this loophole had not been plugged, and another loophole appeared.
"There's someone underneath the boat!"
The soldiers shouted in panic, but it was too late, and in the blink of an eye there were four or five more holes in the bottom of the boat, and a large amount of water poured in and overflowed half of the cabin, and the hull of the ship immediately tilted to one side.
Rumble!
After another hole appeared at the bottom of the ship, the whole ship finally broke in two and sank to the bottom of the river, and the soldiers on board had to jump out of the boat to flee for their lives. Those who are familiar with the water are fine, but those who are not familiar with the water can only struggle on the water, and at the same time shout for help, and those who are familiar with the water nearby immediately swim over to rescue their companions, and then swim towards the shore together, and the soldiers on the shore also immediately jumped into the water to help.
Because the boat sank in the middle of the river, some of the soldiers on the boat swam back to the shore in the panic, some swam to the opposite bank, some went ashore smoothly, and some sank halfway.
"There's someone in the water, it's the magician. ”
The griffin knight in the sky saw his companion fall into the water and joined the rescue, but as soon as he approached the river, suddenly a column of water rose into the sky and attacked the griffin's belly, fortunately he reacted quickly and controlled the griffin to roll over on its side, which was enough to survive this attack, but it also made him understand the reason why the ship sank, because there was a water mage lurking in the water to launch an attack. However, he couldn't figure out how the magician chanted magic spells in the water.
"Find the magician!"
The griffin knight shouted, and the leader of the cavalry, who was nervously watching the situation on the shore, immediately understood everything. The magician did this for the sole purpose of preventing others from coming ashore to prevent the other party from leaving, and if they could not get rid of the magician, it would be difficult for them to cross the river safely.
The griffon knight, who had received the order, began to hover over the river, which was four or five paces deep, but the water was very clear, and there were no dense aquatic plants in the river, which facilitated the griffon knight's high-altitude search, and he soon locked on a target, which was a dark shadow in the center of the river.
"Here!"
The griffin knight shouted with the knight's gun in his hand pointing directly below at his companion on the shore.
"Archers prepare, shoot!"
The captain of the knight immediately summoned several of his archers and asked them to aim at the underwater position pointed by the griffin knight and start shooting, but this effect was not obvious, the resistance of the water was too great, and even if the bow and arrow could reach the bottom of the water, it would not be powerful enough to kill the mage.
"Give it to me. ”
The cavalry leader snatched a bow from his subordinates beside him, drew an arrow casually, bent the bow and tied the string, and at the same time his palm began to show a golden light, this cavalry leader was actually a great swordsman.
As the golden fighting spirit in the hands of the cavalry leader skyrocketed, the entire arrow became golden. As soon as his hand was released, the feather arrow came out of the string and let out a roar, and the huge sound of breaking the air seemed to shoot a huge crossbow spear instead of a thin feather arrow at this moment.
An arrow was fired, but the cavalry leader did not stop, and bent his bow to shoot two arrows in a row, only then did he stop and breathe, even with the strength of the great swordsman, three arrows in a row made him feel a little difficult.
Three feathered arrows, like three golden meteors, flew towards the center of the river with their dazzling tails.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The arrows with fighting spirit hit the surface of the water, and three columns of water rose into the sky, and a large crater appeared on the surface of the water, almost exposing the sediment at the bottom of the river.
"He seems to be injured, he's moving. ”
The Griffin Knight had been keeping an eye on the underwater mage's movements in the sky, but he immediately realized that the situation was not good, because the water at the bottom of the river was becoming turbid, and the power of the three arrows just now was too great, directly stirring the mud and sand at the bottom of the river. If they lose track of their opponents, their plans to cross the river will be completely shattered. Thinking of this, the griffin knight's heart suddenly moved, he drove his mount to fly twice in the sky, and then suddenly turned around and pounced on the evacuating crowd on the other side, without the magician in charge, he could have launched an attack on the fugitives with impunity.
The servants, who had already been terrified of the Church's centaurs, now that they did not have Alan by their side, they immediately panicked when they saw the griffons pounce on them.
"Don't be afraid! Shoot it with a bow and arrow. ”
The maiden, pretending to be the viscountess, was fearless and calmly commanded the servants to fight back. However, the bows and arrows equipped by the servants were limited in power and their archery was not accurate, so the griffin flew a few arrows directly with its wings, and then turned in an arc in the air, which had already appeared above everyone's heads.
"Don't be afraid, look at me. ”
Seeing the huge shadow formed by the griffin's wings falling from the sky, the girl took a bamboo tube from her bosom and twisted it vigorously.
"Bang!"
A flash of fire erupted from the mouth of the bamboo tube and hit the griffon's abdomen. The flame was not powerful enough to cause great damage to the griffin, but it ignited the fluff on the griffin's abdomen, and quickly formed a series of flames. Under the scorching flames, the griffin suffered pain, and immediately rose into the air and flew back towards the river, and pounced directly into the shallow water on the shore.
With the help of the river, the griffon had just extinguished the flames in its abdomen, when the surface of the river next to it suddenly fluctuated, and a column of water slowly rose from the surface of the river, quietly swooping towards the back of the griffin knight.
"Be careful!"
The vision of the river immediately caught the attention of the knight leader on the other side, who shouted loudly to alert his men.
The griffin knight, who heard the reminder, turned around, and saw the water column behind him accelerating towards him, but fortunately, his knight's spear was always in his hand, and at this time, the tip of the spear turned into a yellow light and shadow, and the water column was stopped.
The water column was stirred into water droplets by the spear, but the attack did not end, the small water droplets re-condensed, turned into water arrows and flew back again, and some water arrows even condensed into ice arrows.
