Chapter 301: An Unexpected Air Battle (2)
The first round was just an appetizer, and both sides were just trying to get started.
Then there were several more encounters, and no one could help the other, but they had a rough inference about each other's true strength.
In addition to animal control, the two Wyvern Knights seem to be twins, not only are they both speed type awakened people, but they are also very similar in terms of stature, Philip suffers slightly in speed, but there is not much difference after increasing the amplitude.
That's why they use the soft whip as a weapon, completely avoiding being knocked off the weapon in the process of fighting Philip.
Especially the soft whip in their hands, I don't know what material it is made of, not only soft, but also extremely tough, even if Philip's legendary broadsword slashes on it, it can only swing them away, but there is no sign of cutting.
The two Sky Knights worked together very tacitly, just like those two unusually similar wyverns.
The last time Philip saw such a heart-to-heart cooperation was when the Louis brothers participated in the Kent Cup in the imperial capital, which was by no means something that could be run in by training alone, and it was very difficult.
After a few rounds, if it weren't for Philip's left and right block, Arthur would have added several wounds to his body.
Even so, Philip was a little dizzy from the strange poison that exuded a strong aroma from above.
It's really an aroma, a bit like a floral fragrance, it seems that it may be a plant toxin, but I don't know what the effect is, and the effect is quite domineering.
The strength of the Unicorn Knight is much stronger than that of the Wyvern Knight, judging from the results of several weapon collisions, the opponent's strength is roughly equal to his, but the speed is a cut faster.
If it weren't for Philip's ability to predict, I'm afraid he would really be cut down with a knife, even if he was cautious, he was still forced to be in danger and a little embarrassed.
He was accidentally stabbed in the back, but his reaction was fast, and the armor was only cut through a gap, and it didn't hurt the skin.
Although the physique of the other party as a grassland person cannot be compared with that of the Ward people, the absolute awakening level and amplitude have narrowed the gap between the two sides or even surpassed them.
This is a formidable warrior comparable to a Templar, and at least so far, Philip has not found any flaws in him, either in terms of strength, speed, or combat skills.
What's worse, he unconsciously fell into passivity, no matter how he dodged, he would be forced by the other three to keep falling.
It can be seen that this combat combination has been working together for a long time and has formed a good tacit understanding, and Philip even guessed that it was only because the knight temporarily changed to a new mount that gave him a little respite.
In the blink of an eye, the four men and four beasts circled from a height of 8,000 meters to a height of 6,000 meters, Arthur's flesh wings opened a blood groove on the top of a flying dragon's head, but in order to cover Arthur, Philip's own armor also had two more scars.
This also made Philip realize that the battle mount in the sky was the real protagonist, especially for the two of them who did not have a tacit understanding, and the presence of the phantom also made him afraid every time he approached the only melee knight.
In order to get out of the unfavorable situation, he took control of Arthur and flew quickly to the east, while the two dragon knights were in hot pursuit.
Compared to absolute speed, the Wyvern was much faster than Arthur, and in a few breaths it chased ten meters behind him.
The two air knights quickly flung out the soft whips in their hands and struck Arthur in the hind legs.
At this moment, Arthur suddenly took a few steps, and the silver figure disappeared where the two whips met, and one flashed to a distance more than ten meters away, and continued to flee out.
The two Sky Knights urged the Wyvern under their seat to continue the pursuit, while the Eagle Riders on the periphery also surrounded him, trying to stop Philip from escaping.
The Eagle Knight's strength and speed were no more than a third-level awakening at most, and even the Eagle Vulture itself was not comparable to the Legendary Unicorn, at least it was completely different from the size he had seen in his previous life that could tear apart giant elephants.
Philip has really killed a few sporadically these days, which can be regarded as a practice of skills, but it is the first time that such a concentrated appearance has appeared like today.
However, as he slaughtered in the eagle vultures, rushing left and right, the blood and eagle feathers flying in the air made the airspace seem a lot more crowded, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the path of the two dragon knights.
"Get out of here!"
As the two shouted, the surrounding eagle knights quickly fled outward, like frightened birds.
But how could Philip do what they wanted, this kind of chaos was exactly what he needed now, and by the way, it also boosted the morale of the Red Moon Pass soldiers who were watching below, after all, he had to get back some face after being hunted down for a long time.
Arthur also lost his temper, nimbly changing direction, occasionally slicing his hard wings across the bodies of the ugly birds covered with gray-green feathers.
A few times just now, his call did not cause any response from his mother, but he was almost bitten on the leg by her.
This filled Arthur's heart with anger and grievances, and he vented wantonly on these big birds, ignoring even Philip's several orders.
When the last eagle vulture in front of him had its wings cut off and flew out, and the knight above let out a terrible scream and fell down, Philip stopped the pursuit and continued to fly towards the open air.
The two wyverns were still in hot pursuit, and used their sheer speed to catch up.
If you use a figurative analogy, the Wyvern is like a monoplane fighter during World War II, with absolute speed and excellent straight-line performance.
The unicorn is a biplane fighter, although it is not fast, it is agile and maneuverable, and its ability to grapple in a small area is outstanding, and it often appears in a position that the enemy can't imagine, so that another wyvern has to fly far away to turn around and fly back.
Philip swung his broadsword and slashed the head of a soft whip into the air, and kicked the wyvern in its long beak, causing it to scream and drift away from the formation.
He controlled Arthur to appear next to the remaining wyvern in a flash, and the broadsword in his hand slashed through a sharp arc and slashed towards the Wyvern Knight.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he kept sprinting to make him fly a long distance.
Even if it was delayed for a while because of the Eagle Knight's entanglement, it still made the unicorn following behind fall a distance of nearly fifty meters.
Although the Sky Knight was strong, he still couldn't change the reality of the Phantom's wings being injured, not to mention that compared to the increasingly tacit cooperation between Philip and Arthur, the movements made by the veteran legend of the Phantom were not as flexible and handy as expected.
It was this short distance of fifty meters that the two Flying Dragon Knights who were eager to make meritorious contributions did not notice at all, which meant a time difference of a few breaths.
What can you do in a few breaths, and if you're a farmer, maybe you can plant a few seeds.
If you're a tailor, you might be able to sew a button.
If you're a composer, maybe you can write a few notes and mark the beat.
But for Philip, a second-level awakened mad knight, a few breaths were enough for him to dodge the enemy's attacks and unleash a deadly sword.
The broadsword slashed down from the air with a thunderous momentum, and the Wyvern Knight was shocked and quickly dodged sideways, and used his mind to control the Wyvern to fly outward.
The faster knight dodged the deadly attack, but the wyvern, who had already reached out with a barbed beak to take a bite, was half a step slower due to his haste to react.
It was this half-step that made it pay a heavy price, Philip's broadsword also cut off half of its fleshy wings, and Arthur also took the opportunity to bite its slender neck fiercely and pull it outward.
The skin covered in tiny scales makes its neck look unharmed on the outside, but the bones inside are out of place, especially at such an altitude when it loses half of its wings, which is absolutely fatal for a flyer.
Green blood sprinkled in the air, like a rain of blood, and the black-red wyvern screamed and fluttered a few times, and then fell downward in a spiral with the sky knight on his back.
Philip was about to chase downward, when suddenly a cold light flashed in his afterglow, and he hurriedly raised his broadsword to block behind him.
There was a loud bang, and the weakness of the sword in one hand made Philip almost get out of his hand, and one man and one beast flew out at least ten meters before he stabilized his body.
It was the unicorn knight who rushed over and took the opportunity to give Philip a ferocious sword.
The other party was unforgiving, and flashed beside Philip in succession, and the blade in his hand waved a light and shadow in front of Philip's eyes.
Philip frantically fended off every attack, secretly glad that if Edward hadn't laid a good foundation for him when he was a child, allowing him to exert the maximum power in every counterattack, I am afraid that he would have been unable to maintain his balance a long time ago.
And the phantom's flesh wings also left two long reds and swells on Arthur's body, although there was no skin and flesh, but it also hurt Arthur screamed miserably, and the most important thing was grievance.
It was only then that the other Wyvern Knight adjusted his mount and flew back again.
Philip looked at the figure below swaying crookedly and struggling to glide with half of its broken wings and landing towards the earth, and it was the land outside the Red Moon Pass, and he was a little unwilling in his heart.
But suddenly, there was an explosion on the head of the Red Moon Pass, and a thick crossbow spear passed through a distance of two kilometers, directly blasting the flying dragon and the knight above into a mass of corpses and blood foam in mid-air, attracting bursts of cheers.
It was Matthew, his father, who, with the ability to awaken his vision, was full of anger and made his siege crossbow seem to have a soul, and accurately hit the executioner who was about to escape.
For the next few minutes, Philip and his opponent fought fiercely at close range.
One side is calm and sophisticated, and the other side is young and stunning.
The two sides did not give in to each other, and the originally heavy broadsword and long knife collided more than a dozen times in a row like a flying butterfly.
The remaining wyvern didn't even dare to rashly attack the two entangled silver giant beasts because they couldn't stop in mid-air, so they had to rush back and forth, completely reduced to a supporting role.
As a blood-red rain scattered across the sky, the unicorn knight finally left a hideous wound on Arthur's retreat.
Philip also took the opportunity to wrap his broadsword around the soft whip of the Wyvern Knight and pulled it back fiercely.
Although the Wyvern Knight reacted quickly and immediately let go of the whip in his hand, he was unable to resist Philip's tremendous strength, and was dragged within two meters of him by the man and beast.
Arthur already had a wound on his buttocks, and he was always wailing trying to wake his mother, so he took a step slower, and the flesh of the open wound nearly a foot long rolled up, revealing the bright red muscle and white fat inside.
Arthur screamed, curled up in pain, and rolled down to the side.
Philip flung the broadsword in his hand as a javelin, plunged into the lower abdomen of the wyvern, and then pierced through the lower abdomen of the knight fixed to it, and then clung to Arthur's neck and reins to prevent himself from being thrown out.
The unicorn knight didn't even look at his companion who fell downward, and when he caught Philip's flaw, he chased after him.
The long knife broke through the cold wind barrier and fell on Arthur's flesh wings, and the crowd watching the battle below screamed in surprise before they could cheer, and Matthew even shouted in a rare gaffe.
Philip was in a bad state right now, and the crazy spins and rolls forced him to wrap his arms around Arthur's neck, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to throw away his weapon.
You can't control your body with just one hand, and the broadsword in your hand may even inadvertently hurt Arthur.
But his consciousness was very clear, and he didn't feel the slightest dizziness or nausea due to the violent rolling and displacement, and he even felt the spatial position he was in every moment.
I don't know if this body is too perverted, or if the Ward genes are inherently suitable to be an empty knight, after the violent bump yesterday when Arthur was injured, he only had to get used to the feeling and recovered.
Not only that, but after deliberately trying it several times, no similar discomfort occurred again.
Just like a certain airplane piloting game in his previous life, no matter how violent Arthur's movements are, he can clearly feel the space and position he is in like a third perspective, and he can't feel a trace of vertigo at all, which is very magical.
It is precisely because of this self-confidence that he dares to challenge the other party head-on today.
Although he had to hug Arthur's neck, Philip still had the strength to keep an eye on the unicorn rider who swooped down from above.
When Xue Liang's long knife fell, because of the tumbling, he could only use his body to meet it, instead of Arthur to block the knife.
Even if the opponent's strength is not weaker than him, even if the opponent is using a legendary-level weapon, he is confident that he will not die if he resists a knife, at most he will be seriously injured.
After being hit a few times just now, he already roughly knew the damage that the other party might cause to him, and he was fighting for protection alone, and he was absolutely unilateral in crushing the opponent.
Because he is a knight of the Wardsmann Empire, not only does he have a second-class wall, but the armor on his body is also a special high-end product.
But unexpectedly, he didn't feel the sharp pain of the steel knife, and Arthur seemed to be safe and sound.
As the collision approached, a trace of Arthur's blood fell onto the Phantom's face, and the familiar breath of blood seemed to reawaken the memory of the female unicorn being buried.
The intense maternal love made her wake up from the controlled obstacle for a short time and struggle violently.
The unicorn knight didn't care about Philip, so he put away his blade and controlled the phantom with all his might.
Corresponding to the powerful physical strength, the Legendary Unicorn's spiritual power was very strong, and if it weren't for the help of the Horcrux given by Daxun Mingge, he would not have been able to make the Phantom change his movements according to his wishes.
The pain made Arthur scream and couldn't get out after entering a spiral descending position, Philip comforted Arthur, and felt a little anxious.
He knew that he was too heavy, and at the same time, his presence had also destroyed the aerodynamic layout around the unicorn's body, and the height had dropped to 5,000 meters, and if he didn't make any changes, he was afraid that one man and one beast would fall to the ground.
Maybe not dead, but serious injuries are inevitable, especially Arthur.
Arthur seems to have a fear of flying since he was a child, and it doesn't seem incomprehensible that he will drop the chain at a critical moment, and he doesn't know if it's his luck or bad luck when he encounters it.
So, when he saw the unicorn rider who was also spiraling not far away, Philip made a bold decision.
Amid an exclamation from the Red Moon Gate, he untied the reins around his waist and legs, and pounced in the direction of the Unicorn Knight with a playful smile.
In his previous life, he had never experienced bungee jumping, and naturally he had never jumped into the sky, but at this time, he threw himself into the air and experienced the thrill of transcending the limit.
In the frightened eyes of the unicorn knight, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and struggled to withstand the other party's chest stab, and the whole person hugged the other party's body like an octopus.
The long knife didn't exert its maximum force, but it just snapped into the armor, using the sharp edge to cut a gap, and then stuck in his surface muscles, blood gurgling down the gap.
Philip grinned and hugged the unicorn knight, holding it very hard, under the effect of quadruple amplitude, the arms under the armor were thick in a large circle, as if made of steel, and the huge pressure made the unicorn knight's armor squeak and deform.
For the first time, the unicorn knight's cold eyes showed a hint of panic, and he struggled violently, but he found that his strength was completely unmatched, and he could not break free from the iron arms no matter what.
In the next second, Philip slammed his close-range headbutt into the opponent's helmet, followed by a second and a third.
The unicorn knight's helmet was deformed, and the sharp corners cut through his eyelids, causing him to lose half of his vision, his whole face was sore, and his nose was sore.
For a moment, sour, bitter, salty, red, white, all appeared on the unicorn knight's face that should have been majestic, but now it was embarrassed.
The unicorn knight reluctantly let go of the long knife in his hand and wanted to push Philip away, but Philip took the opportunity to pull the reins under the opponent, and then ripped off the green stone on the phantom unicorn.
The unicorn rider hurriedly reached out to grab it, but Philip took the opportunity to kick the Phantom's horse.
Philip hugged the Phantom's neck and whispered to her.
Soon the phantom regained his consciousness completely, and the flapping of his wings was once again powerful and steady, narrowly steady, at a height of less than 500 meters above the ground.
