The Wingman Scouts quickly stepped forward to engage in a large-scale contact battle with the Elven Sky Knights, and in a series of small contact battles, the Wingman Air Force received frequent successes.

The elves did not expect to encounter the muskets in the hands of the winged people, such a cheating weapon, modern firearms are powered by chemical gunpowder, which is not only powerful, but also has a long range, far exceeding the traditional long-range weapons commonly equipped by the elves, bows and arrows, which catch the elves by surprise. This new way of warfare even surpassed the cognition of the elves, and there had never been a single weapon in the entire Gaia world with such a long effective damage range, completely beyond the limits of military tactics in this world, and the elven sky knights were brutalized by the winged people with such a revolutionary weapon in a skirmish, and they were almost crushed at the touch of a button.

After this series of contact battles, the combat range of the Wingman Air Force quickly approached the elven defense line, and did not stop until it was dozens of kilometers near the edge of the forest.

Then, in front of the elves' defense line, the winged air force gathered in a big way, and the wingman scouts who had preserved enough physical strength began to rise into the air, spreading their horizons, holding the standard equipment of the winged people scouts of the base mountain station now, and the military-grade telescopes from the earth, the forest defense line that the elves had been operating for more than half a month appeared in the sharp eyes of the winged people.

The edge of the forest on the west coast, which is dozens of kilometers long, was originally a weedy area, but now it has become a paradise for magical plants, and it is no longer wild grass that stretches on the edge, but devil thorns, a kind of magic shrub plant that stands up to one or two meters high, densely spreading in the edge area, and the branches in the bushes are full of spikes several inches long, which are poisonous and have a considerable anesthetic effect.

The Devil's Thorn is one of the lowest magic plants, with low cultivation costs, but very good defensive effects and strong toughness, and ordinary weapons can't cut them at all. As long as the elves have enough manpower, they can make a large-scale devil thorn bush several kilometers long in one night, which can be called the most inexpensive defense tool for the elves.

In addition to the devil's thorns, the grass in the inner area grows the man-eating flower, another low-level magic plant cultivated by the notorious elven druids, this magic plant looks like a giant flower, but with sharp teeth on the edges, once the creature touches it, it will immediately be entangled in the tightened flowers, and it is repeatedly eaten by the sharp teeth, which has the same good defense effect. The most important thing is that it is of the same quality and inexpensive, and it is born very quickly, and in just half a month, the meadow that goes hundreds of meters deep from the thorn bush to the forest has become covered with this kind of thing everywhere. At first glance, it is full of strange and beautiful red colors, which are extremely strange and eerie.

Deeper in the forest, the winged people can also see that the original forest ecology of the west coast is being changed by the elves, all kinds of strange trees grow out of the forest, increasing the original forest elevation, among which groups of tree shapes up to fifty or sixty meters high grenade trees rise in the forest like mountain peaks. Nowadays, the coastline forests are becoming denser and denser, and it seems to be swarthy, and there are many other strange weapons of war hidden in the depths, which look like an abyss to be devoured by people......

The elves are indeed the most defensible race on the continent. In this short period of half a month, the entire forest area on the west coast, which stretches for dozens of kilometers, has become an indestructible plant meat grinder. It's scary to think about!

The winged people swaggered around and looked at the sky, and soon woke up to the other side.

After a while, the shrill horns in the forest whined, and one after another elven sky knights rose into the air one after another at the sound of the horns, killing this side.

……

When the news of the orc's winged air force appearing in the sky above the forest defense line in a big way, the elven sky knights were defeated one after another, and the news that they had lost the air supremacy of the previous airspace reached the headquarters of the knights, and the two captains and deputy leaders of the knights were surprised.

"What, it's true?" The head of the knights was holding the battle report that had just been handed in and summarized in the past few days, and his heart was almost dripping blood, and he was still talking to the deputy head Gianna just now about how stupid the orcs are now. But immediately, the data in this battle report slapped them in the face.

"These seventy-three, seventy-three, seventy-three empty knights are all missing, why didn't they report it until now, the wing captains below, the captains and squadron leaders have all eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, such a big thing, dare not report it!"

"No, no, no, it's not that it's not concealed and not reported, but everyone thought that something happened in advance, and we couldn't come back in time, and no one dared to think that these empty knights really couldn't come back! The previous Wingmen didn't show such strong combat ability! The commanders replied.

The head of the regiment wanted to continue scolding a few more words, but suddenly remembered that in the past few days, wasn't he also negligent, the news that the previous air knights had not returned came back, and he also did not investigate it carefully, but it was difficult to blame his subordinates alone.

"Hey! Sky Knight, Sky Knight! As soon as it flies out, it will spill blood in the sky! In the end, he could only sigh weakly, "Look at it, look at it, the second wave of the orcs is so menacing. In just a few days, the loss of our outer air knights is seventy-three, a full seventy-three empty knights! My entire light cavalry wing has been crippled. ”

This loss made a large number of knight officers in the headquarters of the Knights hold their breath in shock for a long time, seventy-three empty knights, which is almost equal to half of the knights' light cavalry wing, since crossing the river until now, the knights have not suffered such heavy losses.

This kind of loss is the loss caused by the light air knights fighting in the air with the orc wingman air force when they went out to reconnoiter in the air. Within a few days, almost none of the reconnaissance teams that had gone out had ever returned, and as soon as they rose into the air and entered the enemy's airspace, they were immediately blockaded and strangled by the enemy. The captains of each wing are actually rookies, and they didn't realize the danger at first, but they just kept increasing the scale of the dispatch, resulting in bigger and bigger losses, and finally came to this point, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Knights.

These scattered losses add up to such huge casualties. The Elven Knights are one of the few elite units in the Elven army that have the ability to fight head-on, and the Knights' losses of this magnitude are enough to be reported to the higher levels, and the Captain may even be questioned by the Council of Elders.

The victory in the previous stage has led to the laissez-faire of the past few days, and the air knights under his command are arrogant and paralyzed, increasing the cruising range at will, and dispatching without authorization, which is the reason why there is such a huge loss this time, and he, as the commander of the regiment, must take responsibility for this. The loss of the air knight, that is the real loss, there will be no survivors in the air combat of the air force. There could not even be a captive.

It seems that the enemy who came this time must be taken seriously head-on.

"It seems that we still need to organize another air battle in a cluster to defeat this group of winged air forces. In the previous annihilation battle, I think, they suffered a big loss under our men, to a large extent, because they didn't understand us, once the winged people really played an individual combat advantage in the air, our air knights could not defeat them after all, we must admit that in terms of the air force, our elven air knights will never be able to fight the enemy head-on, we must rely on collective efforts,"

And this time, even a proud Gianna must agree with the Captain's judgment.

"Oh, what did you decide to do?"

The head of the regiment thought for a moment,

"It is still necessary to fight a collective war with the enemy and avoid small-scale contact warfare; during this period of time, we must go all out to guard our airspace, strictly prohibit small-scale troops from going into battle, stop all aerial reconnaissance missions, and only protect the airspace of our defense line."

"Good!" Gianna listened and agreed, for the sake of now, since she can't defeat the enemy in a solo fight, she can only do this for the time being.

"Also," the captain stood up, moving his muscles,

"Let the first wing set off, set up an air combat formation, and I will personally lead the attack to fight an overall battle with the enemy, and show the results of our air combat tactics that we have trained for many years for the orcs to see.

Let the second wing in the rear prepare for takeoff, and then prepare to support the expansion of the scale of the war according to the situation.

The enemy is not terrible, the number of winged air forces in the orc reinforcements here will not be very large, and we are well prepared, all forces are concentrated here, the disparity is huge, one force will drop ten, as long as we don't fall into the trap, we don't have to be afraid of anything. I don't believe it, the winged man air force of the orcs is really so terrible! ”

"Yes!"
