Chapter 485: If It's Really Smooth
With the * war airships carrying elite cadets, the last two spare airships docked on the floating island.
At this time, the entire Akahata tribe was already an empty city, and only the last thirty or so heroic cadets had not left. Seeing the hint that the task had been completed smoothly, these seniors did not stop and quickly stepped on the floating island. It was also at this moment that six or seven heroic students with the strongest strength and attributes exceeding 100 points invariably turned their heads to look at the southeast side.
"It's coming!"
"Don't you think it's too late?"
I don't know who snorted, and several seniors invariably showed a smug smile.
As the distance narrowed, the other hero trainees also felt something one after another. In that direction, the Bronze Dragon Tribe spared no expense, opening a one-way portal and teleporting a group of heroes. This method can also be done by the academy in its own control area, but there must be an unstable place in the space near the destination, and a lot of true red crystals must be consumed.
As for this lot, what exactly is the concept?
The teleportation array in the academy's base camp does not know how to launch tens of thousands of times every day. Because it is a two-way teleportation array, the cost is very small when there is a teleportation array response at the target location. And such a one-way portal, transporting a group of heroes, consumes enough energy for the base camp teleportation array to continue to run for half a month! Even if the consumption of two-way teleportation is small, multiplied by the unit of 10,000, and then multiplied by fifteen days, it must be an extremely terrifying number.
Because of this, the academy does not use this method on weekdays, and only the natives who have ruled the New World for thousands of years have the confidence to use this kind of generous method.
But unfortunately, even with a one-way portal, the natives of the Bronze Dragon Tribe are still too late!
One of the heroic seniors at the front urged, and boarded the airship with everyone. Subsequently, the war airship pulled up the altitude, steered, and accelerated into the cruise. When the heroes of the Bronze Dragon Tribe rushed into the Akahata tribe and initially figured out the situation, the first group of Akahata barbarians to leave had already flown more than two hundred kilometers.
"Damn it!"
The aboriginal hero Ana Cross, who led the team, saw through the darkness with his green eyes, and looked at the black dot at the end of the night sky, his face gloomy. The rich power of time surged around his body, changing the flow of time, as if there was a layer of dark blue crystal mist churning up and down, looking mysterious and noble.
Ana Cross!
Rating lv40, a hero-level powerhouse, with the blood of a real bronze dragon flowing in his body, he is the highest pure-blood dragon class in the bronze dragon tribe. Because of this bloodline, his strength has increased extremely quickly, and he also has a very high status and prestige in the Bronze Dragon Temple in the Cold Mist Mountain Range.
Rumor has it that one of the major clans of the Bronze Dragon Tribe, the current patriarch of the Cromy Clan, has an unexplained relationship with Ana Cross!
It is precisely because of this sudden action that the heroes sent by the Bronze Dragon Tribe will respect him.
"These despicable barbarians...... How dare you take refuge in those outsiders!"
Although among the sporadic information received before, there were dragonman sacrifice elders who suspected that there might be vassal tribes who wanted to break away from their rule and join the academy. But this has not happened in more than a decade. In addition, the academy's feint attack had a good deceptive effect, so most of the bronze dragon tribe's high-ranking people refused to believe it. Even when they discovered that the temple was moving, many dragons still believed that the Akhata clan was attacked, rather than rebelling.
Unexpectedly, they really escaped!
Angry at the Academy's schemes, Ana Cross hated the barbarian tribe even more for daring to take refuge with outsiders. Although the thousands of barbarians were not even a drop in the bucket in the eyes of the entire Bronze Dragon Tribe, and the loss was not distressing, the impact of their defection was extremely great. And it is conceivable that at the Dragon Alliance meeting every five years, the Bronze Dragon Tribe will inevitably become the laughing stock of the other four dragon tribes.
For Ana-Cross, who believed in the bronze dragon Nozdorm, this was absolutely intolerable.
It's time to take a tough stance!
In a short period of time, Ana Cross made a decision in his heart. We must find a way to kill the barbarians who have defected in order to set an example. At the same time, it is also necessary to give a stern warning to those outsiders who are becoming more and more arrogant. Let them know what will happen to those who dare to disturb the Bronze Dragon Tribe.
This time, it must not be good!
"Pass my orders!"
Looking at the black dots that disappeared at the end of the night, Cross issued a series of orders in a high-pitched native language, and then used the ability given to the pure-blood dragons by the guardian dragon Nozdorm to describe the situation in detail, and sent it to his younger brother in the Bronze Dragon Temple in the Cold Mist Mountains.
The defection of the Akahata tribe immediately caused an uproar in the Cold Mist Mountains.
The entire upper echelons of the Bronze Dragon Tribe were shaken by the news that Cross had sent back. Just ten minutes later, the enraged Dragon Temple issued a command to all the tribes that believed in the bronze guardian dragon Nozdorm. But all tribes of sufficient size, no matter how rudimentary the trumpet temple within, received this order. For a time, hundreds of half-dragon tribes scattered between the Akhata tribe and the academy watch fortress were all activated.
The academy calculated the reaction time of the Bronze Dragon Tribe and successfully moved out a barbarian group of 6,000 people. However, they miscalculated the sensitive and fierce reaction of the Bronze Dragon Tribe to this matter.
The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry if you touch it!
The same goes for dragonmen who believe in dragons!
The first batch of Akahata barbarians, because they set off three hours early, it was almost impossible for the Bronze Dragon Tribe to catch up. However, the barbarians and elite students who set off at the end were at least a few hundred kilometers away from flying out of the hinterland of the Bronze Dragon Tribe's control area. And in this vast land of hundreds of kilometers of hinterland and even close to the front line of the combat zone, not to mention the ordinary middle and small half-dragon tribes, there are at least a dozen large half-dragon tribes that have the ability to dispatch air cavalry troops alone.
Such a large half-dragon tribe, although it is said to be a tribe, actually has the rudiments of a town. Whichever one is taken out, the scale is larger than the entire Akahata group. A few thousand people are the least, and the largest tribe even has twenty or thirty thousand half-dragon people, which has reached the upper limit of the resources and food that can be fed by the nearby area.
With all their might, the power they can mobilize is amazing.
After receiving the order from the Dragon Temple, these dozen or so large tribes sent out air horses one after another. Among the flying monsters that can be domesticated by them, the lowest-level is also the lv15 Wind Steering Falcon, and the high-level ones even have the lv21 Fire Oil Bat and the lv25 Horned Eagle Knight Beast. Even a few large tribes send out dragon eagles and griffons in varying numbers. Similar clusters of air horsemen, numbering in the tens or even hundreds, patrolled back and forth over the paths that the war airships might return. All the half-dragons who dispatched have been explained, and the enemy must be left behind at any cost!
The elite students who participated in the task were also immersed in the joy of completing the task. A few people are complaining that the task is too smooth and there are no additional rewards to take. But they didn't know that it wouldn't be long before the Bronze Dragon Tribe's thunderous counterattack was coming.
Just because you're flying fast doesn't mean you can escape!
The airship returning in a straight line collided with the oil bat that took off to chase after it for the first time at four o'clock in the morning.
Large war airships are too conspicuous to be noticed, even at night. Not to mention the oil bats, which waving sparkling with their wings as they flapp. It's better during the day, but it's not easy to see if the sun is strong. But once it was night, it was like a light bulb.
Both sides discovered each other almost at the same time!
War airships are behemoths after all, and they can't be faster than these lightweight oil bats. Although the war airships began to attack with the anti-aircraft guns common on dwarven helicopters from a long distance, as well as heat-guided missiles similar to the Goblin Tinker, they could not withstand the large number of fire oil bats. Thirty or forty oil bats swarmed up, chasing the war airship to attack, and there were even extreme bats that directly collided and blew themselves up.
With enhanced armor and 4500 durability airships, it is also a relatively sturdy unit, and it also has special damage reduction armor. But even so, under the attack of a group of oil bats, it was finally blown up and sunk.
Although the war airship had lowered its altitude in advance, allowing the barbarians on it to jump urgently, the pursuers on the ground were even more terrifying! After all, only a few large tribes could do it with large-scale flying mounts. Ordinary pursuers from the ground, as long as the tribe can receive the news of the temple, can be dispatched recklessly. Coupled with the fact that there were already a large number of demonic beasts in the dense forest at night, the chances of surviving these 48 barbarians who were forced to land were infinitely close to zero.
It was also the fall of this war airship that made the academy aware of the counterattack of the Bronze Dragon Tribe.
Although the scale of their counterattack was not clear at this time, the news that a large number of air horses were intercepting and chasing them had been urgently transmitted in long-range communications. All the more than a hundred airships, received tips and warnings. On the battlefield on the front line, the academy also arranged the personnel to respond as soon as possible, and temporarily issued a search and rescue mission - although the academy's senior management did not think that there was still a possibility of survival.
Around an Akhata tribe whose value is far greater than its own value, the Bronze Dragon Tribe and the Academy began a fierce game.
However, although the academy arranged a response force, it was far away from quenching the thirst after all. The war airship in the hinterland of the Bronze Dragon Tribe, after the first one was sunk, the second and third soon appeared. The native air horsemen searched longitudinally in the direction and killed five war airships in a row before they were forced to suspend because the losses were too heavy. Soon, however, more air horsemen came in with reinforcements from other tribes.
The airship that Hu Siming and the others reached was chased by a group of horned eagle knight beasts.
