Chapter 334: Chimera Appears
As the alarm bell in the tower of the City Lord's Mansion continued to ring, the entire Silver Pine City began to move.
After all, Silverpine City is a border town that Erathia has operated for a hundred years, and the first line of defense against the elven invasion. The quality of the troops stationed here and the ability to respond to unexpected situations are top-notch. With the sound of vigilant bells, many idle town guards quickly ran to their combat posts. In less than ten minutes, the entire city of Silver Pine moved like a giant war monster, baring its razor-sharp fangs, ready to devour the arrogant sneak attackers.
One by one, the tall towers of arrows began to shoot sharp arrows outward. Since all the towers are protected by thick steel plates on the outside, archers standing inside the towers can shoot arrows outwards without worrying about arrows coming from all directions. The ballistae and bed crossbows placed on the city walls were also equipped with anti-arrow steel plates in front of them, although the effect was very average, but it was better than nothing.
Compared to them, the elves who rode pegasus for air raids were much less defensive.
Due to the limited carrying capacity of Pegasus, all heavy protective equipment cannot be worn, and all elves only have half-body leather armor for protection in key parts, and Pegasus only wears chain mail on the abdomen and chest that are vulnerable to attack.
This kind of protection can also be useful against ordinary arrows. However, when encountering heavy siege weapons such as ballistae and bed crossbows, it is vulnerable. Often, a bolt from a ballista can shoot a Pegasus through the elves on it. In the face of an attack of this intensity, even wearing ordinary plate armor is almost endless. As a result, the knights of these Pegasus could only rely on their high movement speed and luck praying to the gods in the hope that they would not be shot.
However, the well-designed defensive nets of Silverpine City were still bumping heads. Although the Pegasus troops used the advantage of surprise attacks at the beginning of the battle to achieve certain results, they were a little weak when facing the reacting defenders of Silver Pine City. Although the archery skills of the defenders of Silver Pine City may not be as accurate as those of the elves, many of them were shot to the ground under the overwhelming attack.
Falling from such a high altitude to the ground can be imagined.
Of course, sometimes being killed on the spot is a better ending. There are some unlucky ones who are not so lucky.
One of the first Pegasus Knights to break into Silverpine City was shot in the eye by an arrow, and instead of dying on the spot, the Pegasus struggled to fly for some distance before staggering into a tall tower. The Pegasus rider was also thrown out directly by Pegasus. If the knight had been thrown against the wall, he would probably have had the same outcome as the rest of his companions. But, as coincidentally, he was thrown straight into a half-hidden window.
The Pegasus rider broke three ribs on the spot.
As Pegasus Knight struggled to get up, a pair of leather boots stood in front of him. He struggled to look up, and sure enough, he saw a nobleman dressed in fine clothes, followed by two guards dressed in military uniform. The nobleman in fine clothes wore a silver pine tree emblem on his clothes. This is the emblem of the lord of Silver Pine Castle. He was thrown into the enemy's stronghold.
The knight was in despair. The fate of the future can be imagined. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move, he would have committed suicide on the spot.
Not to mention the unlucky man of the war. At this time, the battle in Silver Pine City had gradually escalated and began to become white-hot. The Pegasus Knights relied on their superior mobility and skillful riding and archery skills to slay down the defenders of Silver Pine City one by one. The defenders of Silverpine City used strong protection and dense arrow towers to carry out covering attacks, trying to eliminate these Pegasus knights who broke into Silverpine City. As time passed, both sides gradually adapted to the rhythm of the other's battle, and the battle gradually became stalemate.
At this time, above the sky outside Silver Pine City, there were several flying horses floating, these flying horses were all extremely powerful, and each one was a unique boutique product. The Pegasus at the head glowed with wisps of golden light, which was obviously the blood of the king of Pegasus.
The elf on the flying horse was dressed in elaborate leather armor with carved cut-outs, and an emerald green cloak over it, and the hood was buttoned over his head, but strands of golden hair could still be seen from the edge of the hood. Judging by the outline of the face that appears at the edge of the hood, it is obvious that it is a male elf.
At his waist hung an intricately ornamented sword, more appropriately an ornament than a weapon. The thin blade of the sword seemed to be about to break at any time, and people couldn't bear to touch it. Dressed in a white Pegasus Knight uniform, the man's figure is tall and powerful, and the elf's outfit looks like a high-level hostage who can be exchanged for a lot of ransom.
At this time, a blood-stained Pegasus knight galloped out of Silverpine City, and quickly flew in front of the male elf on a Pegasus, "General Gru, please send them to the field, the defense of Silverpine City is very strong, and the soldiers are tenacious in fighting, which has caused great casualties to our army, and with the Pegasus knight unable to complete the task of quickly seizing the city's defense, I ask Chimera to help clear the opponent's arrow tower." ”
Gru looked at the bloodied Pegasus Knight and said lightly, "I said a long time ago that the Pegasus Knight alone would not be able to capture Silver Pine City, but you just don't listen, and you have to use the blood of the Imperial Warriors to prove your stupidity." If it weren't for the fact that you were still useful to the Queen of God, I would have thrown you to the liger for dinner. Okay, I can hand over the twelve Chimeras in the advance team to you, but I need you to control the defenses of Silver Pine City within half an hour, otherwise, there is no need for you to come back. ”
"Yes, General. The bloodied Pegasus Knight turned and re-entered Silverpine City, while the twelve two-headed Chimeras who followed Gru flew towards the sky above Silverpine City under the rider's control.
These chimeras were sturdy, huge in size, with fine, hard scales, and ordinary arrows could not even leave a white mark on them. Only those heavy bed crossbows and ballista carts pose a threat to them. But with the Chimera's high-speed flying ability, these heavy crossbow arrows really can't really hit them.
In the battle for the supremacy of the sky, they are the top handful. It is the existence of the top layer in the food chain.
After a hiss, the twelve Chimera's joined the battlefield in a haughty manner.
