Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ambush Plan, Who Is the Prey (Part I)
Leaving the palatial Coventry City Lord's Mansion behind him, and leaving behind the noise and laughter, Cana Enlais spread out his arms and rose to the cold night wind, the metal wings behind him tearing through the air and emitting a sharp wind like an angry howl.

The cold wind blowing in her face more or less relieved some of the raging anger in Cana Enlais's heart, and made her mind gradually calm down.
Subsequently, Blackwing Death was a little embarrassed to find out that from beginning to end, this matter may have been messed up by herself.
The situation in Coventry is not the same as that of Minnesota, although the Thornflower family is not as strong as the Hydra family in terms of overall strength, but it has much greater control over the city-state. And because in the past few decades, the Thornflower family has to face both oppression from the empire and the threat of the desert barbarians, they have developed a tough character that will never compromise and never bow their heads.
In other words, even if the Thornflower family desperately needs the Hydra family as an ally, when Cana Enlais utters threatening words, the result will only be a strong rejection.
"It's really impulsive, and it doesn't seem like it's going through the mind at all. Gana Enlais pondered with some frustration, "Fortunately, the Thorn Flower family still retains some affection, and has not opened the alchemy array that protects the whole city, now it depends on whether the identity of the iron master is really problematic...... If there is a problem, I think it is time to be restless. ”
Gana Enlais took a deep breath and suppressed his doubts. She was certainly not a brainless fool to be the captain of the Flying Wings, but this time she did something that made her remember it ridiculously. What went wrong? Could it be that you drank that wine?
A slender figure flashed through Gana Enlais's mind, but it didn't stay long. Now is not the time to think about these things, Blackwing Reaper never basks in regret, she only does her best to make up for her mistakes and strive for the best possible outcome.
The wings of Gana Enlais are divided into two parts, and the pair of metal wings that stretch out behind her are the core part, providing great mobility, but they are far from adequate in terms of defense. In order to make up for the defensive deficiencies of the Flying Wing Warframe, there is also a complete set of external armor, including breastplate, arm armor, and leg armor, which is connected by alchemy runes and energy pathways, and is a complete grandmaster-level alchemy item.
The complete Flying Wing Warframe combined with the aerial combat skills of Gana Enlais is enough to compete with a true Grandmaster-level molten gold warrior, which is the reason for the famous murder of the Black Wing Death.
There may be one or two powerful guardians around the Iron Master, at least at the level of a senior mentor, which is the information that Gana Enlais obtained from secret sources. In order to avoid making a mistake due to the light enemy, Cana Enlais used the starlight to determine the direction and flew out of the city, preparing to join the men who had come to Coventry this time.
Coventry was a major military town in the western part of the empire, with two towering walls on the west, south, and north sides, and a large catapult and heavy ballista at short intervals with large catapults and heavy ballistae like giants' arms, but the eastern wall, near the hinterland of the empire, was only one, relatively low, and not equipped with heavy ballistae against the desert barbarian air forces.
Gana Enlais raised his altitude and flew over the eastern wall from a height of nearly 100 meters, without attracting any attention from the patrolling city guard soldiers. If it were in the other three directions, her approach would have been more risky. The range of the heavy ballista is up to more than 400 meters, and the penetration power is enough to destroy the front deck of the heavily armored combat vehicle, and the winged armor of Gana Enlais uses a very light and strong titanium alloy as the main material, and it is reinforced with alchemy runes, but a direct hit by an armor-piercing crossbow arrow will still threaten her life.
A short distance after crossing the eastern wall, Cana Enlais saw the ground beneath his feet changing from flat to slightly undulating, and the low hills were like waves rising on the sea, stretching in his vision until the end of the horizon. There are three bonfires burning next to one of the hills, and from a distance, they are just three small, bright spots of light, faintly showing an equilateral triangular pattern.
According to the pre-agreed bonfire markings, Cana Enlais flew over the low hill, then folded his wings and slowly fell.
Thirty winged knights gathered together on a red bonfire next to the low hill, barely making a sound, and even whispering when they talked. But on the other side of the campfire, the five Hydra Guardians behaved very differently.
As personal guards hired by Viscount Hydra, the Hydra Guards were treated much higher than the regular army, and these people did not rank in the army ranks, but only obeyed Viscount Hydra's orders.
Although before leaving the Minnesota city-state, Viscount Hydra had clearly ordered that the Hydra Guardians must comply with the requirements of Gana Enlais, and the Hydra Guardians did settle down for a while at first. But more than ten days have passed, and Viscount Hydra's orders have gradually lost their binding force, and finally let these unruly fellows show their indulgent side.
There was a mess next to the third campfire, the smell of burnt grease and fur, the gnawed hare bones on the ground, and the four younger hydra guards passed parchment bags of spirits, all drinking red and smiling and swearing.
Only the bearded leader of the guards was not drunk, but that didn't mean he had followed Gana Enlais's orders, on the contrary, the mentor-level molten gold warrior had never been in the eyes of the Blackwing Reaper. In his opinion, Gana Enlais was nothing more than an arrogant woman who had a reputation for stealing grandmaster-level alchemy items.
"Ah, guys, don't make a fuss. The bearded man said in a playful exaggeration, "Behold, our leader, His Excellency Gana Enlais, has returned, and must have brought good news. ”
The beard's words were, of course, just a malicious joke.
If all goes well, Cana Enlais must have brought the Iron Master back with him. However, she returned empty-handed and with a cold expression, it could only be that she had touched a nose of ashes in the Thorn Flower Family.
Gana Enlais suppressed his anger, the strength of the Hydra Guardian is indispensable, and it is an extremely important part of the whole plan. The Winged Knight is adept at aerial combat, grappling, assaulting, and sabotage, but if the battlefield is turned to the ground, it may not be as good as a team of well-coordinated and well-trained elite soldiers.
After the Iron Master and his party were attacked, they would obviously pay attention to dodging the enemy from the air, and at this time, the Hydra Guardians rushed out of the ambush location and cooperated with the aerial suppression of the Flying Wing Troops, so that the hijacking plan could most likely be successfully realized.
"Chief Renchenko, we're not here for a picnic. "Let your people extinguish the bonfire, bury the traces of the barbecue, and set off for Coventry." ”
"Oh, the dignified Blackwing Grim Reaper, do you have to admit that you can't do anything?" the bearded Lenchenko sneered, his ass sat still, and the rest of the Hydra Guards continued to drink and laugh, as if they hadn't heard any orders from Gana Enlais.
"The Thornflower family has rejected His Excellency Viscount Hydra's proposal, and we have no choice but to use the backup plan. "According to the arrangement of His Excellency the Viscount, the Iron Master must disappear, and if the hijacking fails, then assassination." ”
"Alternate plan, hmph, don't let Your Excellency the Viscount down again, or you won't be able to keep your position as Captain of the Wings. Renchenko stood up with an arrogant face and clapped his hands, "Brothers, get up! This time it's our turn to be the main force of the Hydra Guards! Let this group of birdmen who can only fly around in the sky take a good look at how the real strong fight!"
