Chapter 324: Tracking and Extermination
The air cavalry roared over the trade road, and it didn't take much time to see two caravans passing by one after another, but with the normal footsteps of the two caravans, it would take at least a day or two to reach the Black Wood Cliff, so the air cavalry group did not go down immediately to rob, and their first target this time was the barbarians.
Although the air cavalry did not stay on top of the caravan for long, and only circled around and left, it still brought huge psychological pressure to the two caravans. The strange laughter of the warriors of the Black Wood Cliff was obviously ill-intentioned, and the people of the caravan could not be frightened.
After flying all the way for a long time, what made everyone feel strange was that although they found a few barbarian gathering places, they did not see any adult barbarian warriors among them, all of them were old and weak women and children.
The fighters looked at each other, but in the end there was still no interest in making a move.
It's not that the warriors who turned into empty knights have the spirit of chivalry, they are still rude bandits in their bones. And everyone has a deep hatred for the barbarians, which is a deep hatred between races, even if it is the old and weak women and children who slaughter the barbarians, there is not much psychological burden on the warriors.
At this time, I didn't make a move, but I just felt that I couldn't win.
Taking advantage of the absence of the barbarian warriors, they came to the barbarian tribe to burn and loot, such an act was too inferior, and the proud Blackwood Cliff warriors did not bother to do it at all. They had to defeat the barbarian warriors in the open, and then set fire to the barbarians' lair.
Although Li Feng felt that the thoughts of his subordinates were a little boring, Avril had the same attitude as everyone else, and since the leader of the Air Cavalry Regiment spoke, Li Feng did not refute Avril's face.
The large army of barbarians could not be found, so that everyone was really unwilling, but when they came out, they had gathered enough strength, and now they were undoubtedly punched in the air, how could the fist be so easily withdrawn?
At this time, it had been nearly two hours of flying, but Avril did not even ask Li Feng's opinion, so she continued to move forward all the way, and she had to find the barbarian.
Barbarians hurt the Atlantean Empire the most, but that doesn't mean other countries aren't threatened by murderous barbarians.
The Duchy of Flora is not far from the mountains of Everest, otherwise the Avril sisters would not have fled into the mountains in the first place. Although the barbarians were mainly concentrated on the borders of the Atlantean Empire, the mountains of Everestus were boundless, and barbarians often wandered into the Duchy of Flora.
The ferocious barbarians faced the weak Flora, and the results were predictable.
As the eldest princess of Flora, Avril has never met a barbarian, but she also has a natural hatred for them.
In fact, the seven empires of mankind are more or less infested with barbarians on the borders, and the ferocious barbarians can be said to be the public enemies of mankind, but Atlantis has suffered more damage.
Li Feng thought that there didn't seem to be anything going on recently, so he let Avril indulge it once, and regarded it as a long-distance raid drill at Blackwood Cliff.
After five or six hours, Li Feng also felt that something was wrong, they had already encountered no less than seven or eight caravans along the way, but these caravans walked on the territory of the barbarians, but they did not seem to be plundered by the barbarians.
Could it be that all the barbarian warriors have suddenly disappeared?
This place is already very close to the border of the Atlantis Empire, and the speed of most of the flying demonic beasts is about two hundred kilometers per hour, excluding the time spent circling in the air to reconnoitre, the distance that flies in five or six hours is very considerable.
Everyone hesitated a little, although they were very confident in their own strength, but after all, they were robbers, and they were still a little frightened when they broke into the territory of the Atlantis Empire.
Li Feng suddenly realized that the barbarians would organize a large-scale raid every year, and hundreds of thousands of barbarians would ride their mounts and rush into the border of Atlantis to burn and loot. The ferocious barbarians came and went like the wind, and often the armies of Atlantis could not catch their traces, which was also the greatest disaster on the Atlantean frontier.
Having come to this conclusion, Li Feng did not hesitate any longer, and did not care about taking care of Avril's face, and directly ordered the air cavalry regiment to break into the border of Atlantis and search for the barbarians who might be burning and looting.
When everyone heard the analysis of the big boss, they also suddenly woke up, most of them were Atlanteans, and of course they knew about the annual large-scale raid of the barbarians, but they just didn't think of it for a while.
Although many people have become bandits, not all of them are alone, and some warriors even have relatives in Atlantis. Hearing that the barbarians might have stormed Atlantis, everyone was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and an atmosphere of slaughter filled the air cavalry regiment, and boundless killing power spread among the people.
Li Feng's judgment was not wrong, as soon as he entered the realm of Atlantis, everyone had already discovered a large number of burned villages and towns. Everywhere there were corpses lying in pools of blood, whether it was a young man or a woman, a gray-haired elder with drooping old age, or a young child, none of them escaped the devil's hands. Seeing everyone's eyes split, a raging anger burned in their chests.
This has nothing to do with patriotism, in fact, a group of robbers to talk about patriotism is also a bit absurd. But even a group of robbers will be furious when they see their compatriots being slaughtered.
The fire below had not yet been completely extinguished, and from time to time thick puffs of smoke came out, and most of the barbarians had not gone far, and at the speed of the flying mounts, they should be able to catch up quickly.
The little thief Helen was very good at tracking, she lowered her height, only observed for a while, and then gave the direction of the barbarian's departure, and everyone didn't have time to check if there were any survivors below, so they turned their mounts and chased away.
The barbarian raids usually lasted about half a month, and they fled into the mountains before the Atlantean army formed a siege. Looking at the current situation, it seems that the raid has just begun, and the Blackwood Cliff is just in time.
The barbarians were not capable of attacking cities, so border villages and towns without the protection of tall walls became targets for raiding. The Air Cavalry lowered its altitude and flew all the way, and as far as the eye could see, there were all burned villages, and the soldiers seemed to be able to hear countless souls wailing in their ears, which made everyone's murderous intent even stronger.
Although robbers are also murderous, they always have their own psychological bottom line, compared to the cruel barbarians who don't even let go of the old and weak, women and children, they can be regarded as good babies.
Half an hour later, the group finally saw the barbarians attacking a small town.
There were thousands of barbarians in this group, and the town was not without resistance, and hundreds of adventurers relied on the town's rudimentary fortifications to resist the barbarians' onslaught.
The mountains of Everres are teeming with countless magical beasts, and the glittering magic crystals attract a large number of adventurers, and Atlantis's vast borders are dotted with countless small towns, making it an ideal place for adventurers to stay.
There are many swordsman-level powerhouses among the adventurers, but there are so many barbarians that they seem to be crumbling and may be broken through the last line of defense by the barbarians at any time.
Before Avril could give the order, the soldiers were already clenching their throwing guns in their hands.
Avril didn't need to give an order, she directly used a fierce slash as an offensive order. The fiery red fighting spirit that bloomed like a sunflower bombarded the barbarians, taking at least four or five barbarian lives, and the number of injured barbarians was at least double that number.
The sudden fighting spirit slash that fell from the sky made the tragic battlefield fall into a strange state of silence, and everyone was looking up at the sky. But this state of affairs only lasted for a few seconds before it was broken, as the Blackwood Cliff warrior had already shot his throwing gun.
After stepping into the threshold of the sword master, under the bonus of fighting spirit, the arm strength of the warriors has reached a very amazing level, at this time, with hatred, the javelin thrown flew in the air, rubbing against the air fiercely, and the wooden tip of the spear sometimes even emitted wisps of green smoke.
The barbarians don't know how to mine, they can't forge, and even their weapons are wild thistles picked up from the mountains, and of course they have no armor, how can their bare chests stop the power of javelins?
Dealing with enemies without armor, the power of the javelin was infinitely magnified, and the vast majority of barbarians were directly nailed to the ground by the long javelin and the man with the mount before they even made a dodge action.
There are only a handful of barbarians who have the ability to react and block javelins with weapons under such a sudden attack, and the next moment these very few barbarians have become the key sniper targets of the fighters. It is often several teams that greet the past at the same time, and even the strongest barbarians will be pierced into a hornet's nest.
After the soldiers were trained to throw javelins, they were still very sure, and in such a condescending and worry-free situation, the performance was even more extraordinary. Thousands of barbarians who were devastating to the town, Blackwood Cliff was wiped out with just a few rounds of javelins.
In fact, even if they didn't rely on the advantage of flying mounts, all of them had already advanced to the level of swordsman, and the Black Wood Cliff warriors would be able to completely abuse these barbarians.
With the possession of flying mounts, the advantages of the Blackwood Cliff warriors have been infinitely magnified, and it is not for nothing that the major empires value the Sky Knights.
In fact, if the Atlantean Empire, which has tens of thousands of elite blue-scaled knights, can make up its mind to encircle and suppress the barbarians regardless of casualties, if not to completely wipe out the barbarians, at least they can not be so unscrupulous to plunder.
It's just that the Sky Knight is too precious, and although Claudius the Great is very bold, he will not let the Green Scale Knight take risks easily.
The Green Scales themselves do not possess magical killing abilities, and it is impossible for Atlantis to equip every Green Scale with a swordsman-level master, and its combat power is not comparable to that of the Black Wood Cliff.
Moreover, the defense of the green scale is also unsatisfactory, the projection javelin must be pulled down in height, it is not possible without a strong mount, if the green scale knight comes to encircle and suppress the barbarians, it will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
The most important thing is that the Knights of the Green Scale are the guardian force of the Atlantean royal family, and the vast majority of the Knights of the Green Scale will never leave the imperial capital in their lives, they are equivalent to a deterrent force, and they rarely appear in war.
They have always been barbarians who have been unscrupulous on the borders of Atlantis, and today they have encountered 'natural enemies', aren't the people of Blackwood Cliff from the sky?
Each of the warriors carried no more than twenty javelins, any more would affect the flight of their mounts, and after taking down the barbarians, the warriors swooped down to recover the bloody javelins and mended the barbarians who were not dead.
The warriors ignored the warm greetings of the townspeople.
Li Feng's main purpose in coming out today was to prepare to rob the barbarian mounts, but at this time, he had to pursue other barbarians, and the javelins of the warriors were too fierce, and they often nailed the ground with people and mounts.
With a whistle, the Black Wood Cliff Sky Cavalry took off again, and the figure quickly disappeared into the sky.
