Chapter Twenty-Six: An Eagle Soars Under the Nine Heavens, and an Elephant Runs to the Grass
Chapter 26 There are eagles flying under the nine heavens, and there are elephants running on the grassland (this is the complete chapter title, the starting point of the new edition does not support such a long chapter title, how can we literary youths be embarrassed?)
The Dashun cavalry, which surrounded the horse thieves and prevented them from escaping, suddenly became confused.
The horses neighed wildly, and the knights could not stop them from jumping in fear even if they pulled the reins desperately, and the clouds in the sky surged wildly, as if someone behind them had whipped them with a whip.
Not only the horses of the Dashun cavalry, but also the horses of the horse thieves who had been cut off and had not died for a while also neighed in horror, and they struggled desperately on the ground, and some even stood up with their broken legs, running forward desperately, running a few steps and falling to the ground.
Yi Jun's arrows couldn't help but stop on the bowstring, and he didn't dare to shoot any more, and Han Wu, Wu Jilang, Green Sleeves and others didn't dare to chase those horse thieves anymore, they moved closer to the middle one by one, and gradually gathered together.
And the old man Ye Guochang had just finished drinking the last drop of wine in the wine glass, and his smile condensed on his face.
Everyone's smiles were condensed on their faces, and one by one they looked up at the sky or into the distance, and worry swept up from their hearts like a storm and jumped to their cheeks.
The horse thieves were still running desperately, they had lost their alert from the great fear and did not notice anything unusual.
"Ming-" A cool chirp suddenly came from high in the sky, and immediately after, everyone saw a small black dot suddenly appear behind the clouds.
The little black little bit was so fast that it had just heard its name in the ears of the people, and it flew down the clouds, and after it, it swooped down like an arrow on a horse thief who was running desperately.
"Ah!" the scream rang out almost as soon as the scream rang out, and then everyone saw the thief fall with his hands over his face, blood gushing from between his fingers.
Then the people saw the black spot, which was a huge falcon.
The falcon flew down from the nine heavens, blinding a horse thief in an instant, and this was only the beginning of the battle.
As the falcon rose from the sky, more black dots appeared behind the clouds, and a loud roar of the eagle was like a battle horn, and they flew down, striking everyone like lightning, whether you were a horse thief, a Dashun cavalry, or a Templar.
At the same time, there was a loud tremor in the grassland around them, and dust several meters high rose with grass clippings, followed by huge objects.
"It's a herd of steppe elephants and lions!" A cavalryman with sharp eyes saw clearly the true face of the huge figures hidden in the dust and the figures that followed them, and immediately cried out in horror.
There are eagles flying under the nine heavens, and there are elephants galloping on the grassland, this is an extremely strange picture, no less than the one on the mountain beam of Changbai Mountain, at this time, the danger that has been hidden in the depths of the grassland finally appeared at this time, and it was a thunderous momentum from the beginning.
The cavalry was in disarray.
The elephants and lions disturbed the horses, and while some of the cavalry were still pacifying, the eagles in the sky attacked.
Some of the horsemen had already calmed down their horses, and had just picked up their swords and guns to deal with the eagles and falcons circling and diving in the air, when the elephants and lions not far away rushed at them.
You may still be able to fight the lions, but how do you fight the elephants?
These creatures were tall, heavy, and thick-skinned, and even a spear poked on it was nothing more than a white mark, and their impact was powerful enough to knock the hussars off their horses and kick them again.
"Dismount!"
"Arranged!"
"Archers, shoot the flock of eagles in the sky!"
"Troops ahead, rush forward and stop the elephant herd!"
“............”
Anxious and flustered orders came from the mouth of the general, but although he was hoarse, and despite the hunting sound of the flag waving in his hand, the effect was not obvious.
Because, those cavalrymen had never seen such a strange and difficult scene - they didn't participate in that time on the mountain beam of Changbai Mountain, and they were unconscious at the beginning.
They may not be afraid of death, but when there is a picture that they cannot understand, they are still at a loss, they will still rush into each other in fear, and they will still be panicked and unable to hear the shouts of the commander, and they will not be able to see the command flag in his hand.
- The whole team was in chaos.
Thankfully, there are students from the church.
One by one, the students jumped to their feet, attracting the attention of the falcons in the sky, and followed by the blackiron blades in their hands to release various colors of light, slashing down the falcons that rushed down one by one.
Yi Jun's bow and arrows were no longer of any use, so he threw them away, and reached out to draw the dark iron dagger from the leggings, but looking at the eagle falcon with abnormal speed, and looking at the herd of elephants approaching in the distance, Yi Jun was a little desperate.
He wasn't a spirit now, and he might be able to kill horse thieves with arrows, maybe faster than the Green Sleeves and them, but he wasn't sure what to do with them.
Fortunately, at this time, Green Sleeves remembered her duty, and she did not take the initiative to attack, but followed closely by Yi Jun's side with the Xuantie Sword in her hand, doing her duty as a Templar Senior Sister.
An eagle falcon discovered the existence of Ye Guochang's old spirit and swooped towards him with a scream.
The falcon's body was the size of a basin, and its wings were even greater when it was opened, and before the bird arrived, the wind of its wings flapped across the old man's cheeks, and it ached like a knife.
It's just that in the face of the eagle falcon flying like an arrow, the old spirit man did not panic in the slightest, he just sighed slightly, and gently threw the wine glass in his hand towards the other party.
There was a "bang", the wine glass was intact, and the hot blood and black feathers of the falcon flew down, the blood fell on the carriage, and the blood-stained eagle feathers fluttered in all directions.
The eagle screamed and fell into the dust, trampled by the chaotic hooves of the horse, and turned into a crumbling mass of flesh.
The eagle's tragic landing seemed to awaken some strange power hidden in the earth, and some extremely fine earthy yellow dots quietly squeezed out from under the clods of soil like reviving grass roots, and the next moment, they collectively exerted their strength, turning into thousands of rays of light and shooting directly into the sky.
The tiny rays of light are jaw-droppingly lethal, and they are also very spiritual, bypassing the horses running wildly, the swords and spears that fly in the air, and the knights, and stabbing the eagles one by one along the shortest, most economical path.
"Puff puff puff!" The bodies of the falcons that had been arrogant and flying recklessly a moment ago were instantly pierced by these rays, and it was as easy as a spark falling into the soft snow, and then they fell to the ground without even screaming.
The sky is clear.
