The counterattack by the Icewind Fortress garrison was officially launched the day after the arrival of the Thunder Sky Cavalry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This operation was completely planned and acted by the Marquis of Wisconsin, and the other two fortresses connected to the Icewind Fortress were not notified, and before the operation began, the five hundred elite air horsemen of the garrison legion, together with one thousand five hundred Thunder air horses, left the fortress in batches in the name of expelling the demon air horses and protecting the supply channel.

In fact, after flying away from the fortress, all the air horsemen quietly bypassed the fortress and flew north over the Taimur Snow Mountain, entered the territory of the demons of the Far North Continent, and secretly assembled in a place about dozens of miles northeast of the fortress.

The sunset is like blood, staining the glaciers and snow-capped peaks, and the year-round frozen Taimur Snow Mountains are particularly enchanting.

Riding on Lafeng's back, Han Fei flew over the Great Wall of Ice Wall, followed closely by hundreds of griffons.

They didn't have to worry about being discovered, all the garrisons on this section of the Great Wall of Ice were temporarily transferred by the Marquis of Wisconsin, in order to ensure the absolute secrecy of the operation, although the vast majority of the garrison soldiers were extremely loyal.

For thousands of years, the Far North Demon Clan has been preparing to return to the Nine Days while hibernating, in addition to sending ranger scouts to harass the defense line of the Taimur Snow Mountain, they also sent secret spies to infiltrate the territory of the Titans, trying their best to cultivate dark forces and demon dogs, creating a lot of trouble for the Titan Empire.

The Ice Wind Fortress also could not avoid the infiltration of the demons, although most of the fortress residents evacuated back to the interior, but there was also the existence of demon dogs in the garrison, and several actions were detected and leaked by the demon dogs, and as a result, they suffered heavy casualties, and the internal affairs department of the fortress tried their best to clear it and could not be completely clean.

At present, it is the time when spring is gradually showing in the south, and the extreme northern edge of this continent is still a world of ice and snow, and the cold wind is like a wind blade passing through the air, and the strength of the blow is enough to scratch the face of the person.

However, no matter how good the cold wind was, it couldn't break through the thin layer of protective true qi outside Han Fei's body, and he looked down at this well-known Extreme North Defense Line.

The Great Wall of Ice Wall, which is four or five meters wide and more than ten meters high, lies quietly on a steep and undulating snow-capped mountain like a giant dragon. The Great Wall of Ice has a fort at intervals, and you can clearly see the heavy crossbows arranged on the roof, but the soldiers who usually guard it are nowhere to be seen.

The Great Wall of Ice Walls in the Great Snow Mountain of Taimur was built after the end of the exorcism war thousands of years ago, when the Nine Heavens Empire established by Emperor Yewu used countless manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall and several fortresses connected to it in order to seal the passage for the demons to return to the Nine Heavens Continent.

The raw material used to build the Great Wall of Ice is silver ice condensed by the glacier of the Taimur Snow Mountain, this silver ice is very hard, it will not melt when bombarded with fire, and it has a strong magic resistance, and the city wall built with it is definitely no worse than rock.

The Great Wall of Ice and the many fortresses connected to it together formed a solid defense line that stretched for hundreds of miles, firmly blocking the demons from the Nine Heavens Continent and contributing to the entire Nine Heavens Continent.

However, no matter how high the city wall is, it can't stop the invasion of the air cavalry, and in the past, the tens of thousands of air cavalry deployed by the Titan Empire in the snow mountain defense line and distributed in various fortresses echoed each other and fought together, basically resisting the attack of the demon air cavalry.

But during this period of time, the demons gathered a million troops to put on a big battle posture, and the number of air cavalry that increased dramatically continued to attack the defense line of the snow mountain, and the barbarian side was caught off guard and lost many elite air cavalry, resulting in the various fortresses currently in a state of shrinking and self-preservation, unable to clear the rampant opponents.

As a member of the General Staff Headquarters of the Alliance Army, Han Fei had a considerable understanding of the situation of the Extreme North Demon Clan, and knew that this time the Demon Clan was definitely moving the real thing, and he wanted to retake the Nine Heavens Continent at any cost, and for the four major races, this war was related to the fate and survival of everyone.

The air cavalry formation quickly flew over the Great Wall of Ice and soon entered the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains lined with ice peaks.

The farther north the climate became, the colder the weather became, and the snowflakes fell from the starting point in the sky, and instead of rising to higher ground, the air riders were guided by an ice wind knight to weave between the peaks of the snow ridge, and it only took less than ten minutes to cross the Taimur Snow Mountain.

Ahead of Huo Ran and cheerful, a vast ice field appeared in everyone's sight, and its appearance represented the first time that Han Fei and other air riders from the south had stepped out of the Nine Heavens Continent and visited the mysterious and dangerous Extreme North Continent!

At a glance at the ice field with no end in sight, Han Fei couldn't help but let out a long breath, this ice field was called the land of wailing by the demons, in the last period of the exorcism war thousands of years ago, hundreds of thousands of demons like lost dogs crossed the Taimur Snow Mountain into the extreme northern continent, but unexpectedly they were attacked by an ice storm on the ice field, and more than 100,000 demon elites were buried in the ice field.

Back then, the four major races thought that after driving the demons into the extreme north continent, the other party would slowly die out in a harsh environment, and the terrible storm on the ice field seemed to be the best proof of this, but those surviving demons took root in the extreme north continent with an extremely tenacious spirit.

They built cities under snow-capped mountains, dug underground spaces under frozen soil, mined minerals to smelt weapons, mined hot springs to cultivate crops, and after a thousand years of recuperation, they regained their strength and finally made a comeback today.

After continuing to fly over the ice field for some distance, a black area appeared in the sky ahead, where the air cavalry group had assembled.

The air cavalry formation led by Han Fei was the last group to arrive, and after joining, this assault air cavalry regiment completed the final assembly, and the five hundred Ice Wind Sky Cavalry and the 1,500 Thunder Sky Cavalry were divided into ten teams, obscuring a large area of the sky under black pressure.

The fierce griffons flapped their wings to maintain their heights, and their mouths spewed white gas, and all the knights began to prepare for battle with their armor, and the air was filled with the smell of slaughter.

Wearing a set of blue-gray armor, the Marquis of Wisconsin piloted the griffin and flew around the assault air cavalry, he raised the black cavalry gun in his hand, and a low roar echoed in the air: "The bravest knights, I, Wisconsin, am honored to lead you to attack the outpost of the demons, this will be the first counterattack of our alliance army against the demons!"

"No matter where you come from, what country you belong to, there is our common enemy a hundred miles ahead!Knights, now is the time for you to show your strength to your enemies, raise your swords in your hands, and send them all back to hell!"

"Drink!"

Thousands of knights raised their weapons at the same time and shouted, and the murderous aura filled the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color!

"Let's go!"

Wisconsin shouted angrily, and the first horse flew forward, followed by two thousand assault air horses, although it was only a temporary combined formation, but the formation was strict and imposing, absolutely no less than any elite division!

Han Fei urged the wind to speed up until it was parallel to Wisconsin, this time he handed over the command of the Thunder Sky Cavalry to the other party, 1,500 air horses participated in the raid, and the rest stayed behind to guard the Ice Wind Fortress.

Now Han Fei does not hold any command duties, and completely obeys Wisconsin's arrangement, after all, the other party is the commander who has experienced a hundred battles, and his current status is a freelancer, and he is not subject to Wisconsin's control if he does not command others, which is exactly what suits Han Fei's own characteristics.

The outpost camp of the demon clan is more than a hundred miles away from the Ice Wind Fortress, and it will not take much time for the griffin air rider to reach it if it moves forward at full speed, and the demon clan dares to set up its camp in such a position, because the barbarian garrison on the front line of the Taimur Snow Mountain has always been on the defensive against the demons, except for some air horse scouts, there has never been a formed army into the extreme northern continent.

And the current situation is that the demon race has the upper hand, so they are so unscrupulous, the assault air cavalry group went deep into the ice field for dozens of miles, and they did not encounter a demon air cavalry scout patrolling around the camp.

It is not for nothing that Wisconsin chose to launch a raid on the demon outpost camp at dusk, this time is when the demon air riders return to the camp for dinner, and their vigilance is the weakest, they will not think that the opponent dares to take the initiative to enter the ice field to attack.

For this raid, Wisconsin was extremely well prepared, and he sent scouts to conduct repeated and careful reconnaissance of the outpost camp in the early stage, and found out the strength of the camp and the movement law of the demon air cavalry, which made the early operation of the assault air cavalry very smooth, and soon approached the destination.

Nestled between two low hills in the ice field, this demon outpost camp is made up of hundreds of densely packed tents and igloos, and the campfires and cooking smoke can be seen from a long distance, and the demon warriors are indeed preparing dinner.

Two thousand griffons flew in formation in the air, and the covered airspace was extremely amazing, even if the demon side did not set up alert scouts around, the demons in the camp still quickly discovered the appearance of the assault air cavalry group, and immediately dozens of demon vultures rushed into the air.

Whether it is a griffin or a vulture air horse, the consumption is very large, and you have to eat dozens or even hundreds of pounds of meat to make up for your physical strength when you come back from a day of flight, so the first thing that the general air knight does after returning to the camp is to let people feed the air horse, otherwise the hungry griffin is easy to lose his temper and hurt people.

Wisconsin's attack was so well timed that the Demon Sky Knights had already turned back to the camp, leaving their mounts to be tended by the ordinary warriors in the camp, while they sat around the campfire and enjoyed a hot dinner, so they suddenly woke up when the Assault Air Cavalry pressed over.

But by this time, they had run out of time!
