Chapter 118: The War of the Winged Man and the Sky Knight
Winged Rand flew in mid-air, carrying muskets and specially made flying vehicles behind him, he looked down on the territory ahead with his sharp eyes, and his partner Centaur Schott was waiting for him behind a small hill behind him, they were all part of the Scout Wing of the Base Mountain Army, but now, they were not with the large army led by Thor and GΓΌlen, who had been ordered to go south first and cooperate with the advance army of Otilus.
They are on a reconnaissance mission with scouts and clearing our airspace.
In mid-air, he saw his opponent, an elven sky knight, whose mount was a light riding beast horned eagle beast common to elves, and among the elves, it was also the main reconnaissance class.
Rand did not rush forward, according to the news obtained earlier, the Elven Knights became a little arrogant because of the last time they completely annihilated the pocket version of the Wingman Air Force of the Leopard Man's Swift Claw, and they forgot the fact that their air power was not as good as that of the Wingmen, and the patrol airspace of the large group of Sky Knights was significantly increased, greatly penetrating to the north, and after meeting with the orc side again, the powerful Elven Sky Knights always had to take the initiative to attack.
This is good news, all the wingman scouts on the battlefield will be happy to encounter the good news, Rand did not take the initiative to go up, pretending to be afraid of the elven sky knight, and quickly turned his head and retreated.
The Elven Sky Knight was indeed fooled, for them for some time, such a situation would always be encountered, he immediately accelerated to catch up, drove the riding beast under his crotch, spread his wings and pounced on the rand.
Sou! Sou! The elven bow and arrow shot from the rear, relying on the upper hand, the elven air knight became more and more arrogant, and the attack from above in the air battle has a gravity bonus, which will be more violent, this guy even forgot the range of his own bow and arrow, and shot at the rand from afar, does he still want to shoot down a winged man so far, and the blind cat meets a dead mouse?
It's a rookie!
Rand, who was running away, snickered in his heart, do these stupid elves really think that the battle in the air is really that simple? He didn't even dodge those bows and arrows, and took the initiative to pretend to rub one, anyway, the special riding bows equipped by these air knights, because considering the limitations of the force in the air, the power of the bow and arrow is very limited, and after too long a distance of deceleration, it has fluttered without strength, coupled with the high speed of the rand itself, the relative speed between the arrow and the rand is almost equal to zero.
Seeing Rand hit the arrow, the elven sky knight in the sky was overjoyed, and immediately drove the riding beast under his crotch to accelerate down from the sky, and pounced on Rand who seemed to have lost his flying state in the air because he pretended to have injured his wings.
The elven knights swooped down from the sky and served Rand with their crossbow arrows, trying to deal him with a fatal blow, but Rant's ugly posture in the air dodged the arrows one by one.
In the end, the Elven Sky Knight was about to get within a few dozen meters of Rand, but suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and the winged man who was directly in front of him suddenly disappeared.
The elf air knight was a spirit, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and was about to forcibly pull the riding beast under the crotch into the air, when suddenly there was a sneer behind him, and a loud bang came, and the elf shook violently on the riding beast and immediately lost its balance, and the riding beast under the crotch had a terrifying huge wound on its stomach, and the elf sky knight watched the large pieces of blood in the wound spray out of the internal organs, and the riding beast lost its life almost instantly, and fell down with the elf on its body.
It turned out that just now, Rand suddenly spread his wings at close range, rolled in the air, and after suddenly slowing down, he rose from behind the elven sky knights and grabbed their butts. This kind of aerial acrobatic maneuver is simply the most common for the winged people who have been flying in the air since childhood, Rand flew behind the elf, aimed at the enemy and fired, using a special air-pointed bullet to deal with soft targets, but at a distance of more than ten meters, only one shot killed the riding beast, and won the battle.
Air knights and wingers, one is the acquired flying ability, and the other is the innate instinct, the two air fighting, this gap is not a lot of training can make up. What's more, the weapon they are now equipped with is a gun, a 5.56MM small-caliber sniper from the modern world of the earth, this is not Zhang Quan's self-made base series of stupid and coarse goods, this is a real domestic military standard firearm 97 type, although the performance of this firearm in today's international market on the earth is not good, but it is cheap, and lightweight, suitable for the physique of the wingman, Zhang Quan is the most valuable air force in his hands The wingman scouts, of course, are willing to get a lot of equipment.
The skirmish on the battlefield that happened to the winged Rand and his companion Short was just a microcosm of a series of recent air battles, and he and his companions chased the elven air knights in the long air, compressing and striking the range of movement of the elven air knights.
Together with the main force of the Leopard Alliance, the advance army of Oderus has already defeated the remnants of the Leopard Men of the Swift Claw, and the vanguard of the army is about to make contact with the elves in the forests near the west coast. And these scouts were ordered to go forward to sweep the sky, sweeping the sky where the army had moved south to the edge of the forest. This is already familiar to them, superior equipment, superior air power, so that they have the upper hand in the face of the elven sky knight skirmish, even if it doesn't work, with the help of partners on the ground, this task is easy to complete.
Their mission came from a meeting more than ten days ago.
β¦β¦
Ten days ago, at a joint meeting of the coalition elders,
"We must have air supremacy! Air supremacy is the most important thing. Otrius's signature loud voice roared. Everyone knows that the defeat of the Claw is due to the destruction of the Wingman Sky Scout! We can't afford to suffer this kind of loss again! β
Everyone knew what Otilus said, but now the only one who dared to say it to his face and slap someone in the face was only him, Otilus himself, and the patriarchs and elders of the Swift Claw tribe on the table had black faces at that time.
"I know, Otilus. You don't need to teach! The Swift Claw Clan Patriarch stood up to defend himself, "You're talking about being light, and you have air supremacy, but it's just our dozens of winged scouts!" Don't you see, the elves' sky knights, that combat power is powerful! It's simply more than human air riders, not only many, but they are all heavy air riders, flying all over the world! Our winged air force is no match for them at all, where to fight with them for air supremacy. β
"Then there is no air supremacy, there is no vision advantage, and you should not have fought in the first place! You stupid, thousands of your fellow leopard brothers have been killed by you stupid! "Otilus's mouth is not forgiving at all.
The Swiftclaw Clan Chief's face turned red, "Am I a fool? I'm a fool! But no matter how stupid I am, I'm not so stupid that even my own patriarch's position was robbed by my subordinates, and I killed my own brother with my own hands, I ask you, Otilus, where are your claws now, where are they? β
"What, you!" Otilus was unsheathed, and he was furious on the spot, and was about to pounce, but the patriarch of the Swift Claw knew that he was invincible, and hid in the crowd early, and a group of leopard elders suddenly stood up and blocked Otilus's way.
"Why, Otilus, do you still want to play with fire under our noses?" The elders' voices of the Clan Alliance's elders were also a little unkind at this time.
"Alright, alright, alright!" The other two leopard patriarchs stood up and said to the mud, "These are all things of the past, don't mention them again, it hurts the harmony of your own people." β
"Humph! I really don't know if this guy counts as one of my own! Someone whispered from below. Obviously, what happened to the Talon is still fermenting in the Leopard Alliance, and now the Leopards are only accepting to cooperate with Base Mountain for reasons of interest, but it does not mean that the Leopards here agree with Otilus.
But the two leopard patriarchs didn't hear this, and continued to persuade: "Okay, okay, let's get rid of it!" Now is not the time for our wills to fight, it is a crisis of life and death for our entire leopard people! All the previous disputes are not important now, the important thing is to ensure the survival of our leopard race. When the orcs in our wasteland were at their most prosperous, they were known as the hundred races, but now, how many races are still there, so many races have been wiped out one by one because of the war, do you still want to add another leopard people to this name! β
As soon as these words were said, the two sides of the quarrel immediately went down, and this kind of end was naturally not something that anyone wanted to see.
"This is our last land, and we have to fight."
The patriarch of the Bloodclaw tribe said a few words, then turned to Otilus and said, "Then what do you say, how should the battle be fought?" Everyone knows your talents, and no one disagrees with you. You've also listened to what the Swift Claw Clan Patriarch said just now, if the Wingman Scouts we have now are really no match for the Elves' Sky Knights, you say, what should we do? Could it really be that only Baba's Waiting Winged People tribe came to help? They are in the distant mountains of despair, even if we go to them and persuade them to move south, I am afraid it will take a long time, and all the winged people we have now add up to less than a hundred! β
"No, you don't." Otilus said. "Although we don't have many wingmen, the scouts in our base mountain are not only winged people. The scouts of the base mountain territory army have a wing, thousands of soldiers, including three hundred winged men, and the scouts of the base mountain are so powerful that they are not at all what you and I can imagine. I don't think we need the support of the Winged tribes of the Desperate Mountains. β
"This, what do you mean," the Leopard Patriarchs gave each other a look of suspicion, "Do we have to wait for the base mountain lord's army now?" β
"No, not necessarily. Maybe we should scout on a small scale first, I don't believe it, I haven't seen it for decades, and the air knights of the elven race have really progressed to this extent as someone said? Oderus glanced contemptuously at the Swiftclaw Chief.
