Linya's ice crystal arrow also followed, and this time it hit the back of the fire dragon. Although the smooth dragon scales also have strong magic resistance, the power of the ice crystal arrow is too great, and the ice arrow that pierces the dragon scale explodes a large wound in the back of the fire dragon.

After a series of setbacks and defeats, the dragon knight completely lost the confidence to continue fighting, and the dragon began to dive down and accelerate in order to escape the range of the airship as quickly as possible.

Linya thought for a moment, and chased after her, and continued to summon the ice crystal arrow in her hand. The fire dragon was badly injured, and now was the time to weaken, and the speed of the wings injury had also decreased, and no matter how you looked at it, it was now itself that had the advantage. If you don't catch up now and give it a bigger blow, when will it wait?

For the water dogs, it is necessary to take the opportunity to beat them. Otherwise, with the strength of the dragon clan, when it recovers, it will be difficult to deal with again.

"Your Royal Highness, don't chase after you, come back first!" cried Suzanne anxiously from the side of the ship.

"It's alright!" but Linya didn't want to let go of this great opportunity.

Unlucky dragon, unlucky dragon, it's a pity that what you met today is not the poor delicate princess who can only wait for the warriors to save her, but a ...... How?

That's right, Princess Slayer!

However, the Dragon Knight is obviously very experienced, and in unfavorable situations, he reduces the altitude by diving, thus gaining a lot of acceleration through the action of gravity, and quickly getting rid of the range of the airship's weapons.

Although you can gain speed by reducing the altitude, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, if you want to regain altitude, you need to spend more physical strength and speed to counteract the effect of gravity. In aerial combat, the side with a height advantage is always advantageous, as any attack from high to low will gain a speed and range bonus from gravity. Attacking from a low altitude to a high altitude will reduce the speed and range power due to gravity.

Therefore, in air combat, the warring parties will always try to gain a high superiority to suppress the enemy. However, of course, the amount of effort and fuel required to maintain a higher altitude will be more, and the trade-offs in this need to accumulate experience in actual combat, which is not something that Linya can master in a short period of time.

Linya's start slowed down a beat, speeding up from being stationary, much slower, of course. Chased a ride. The speed of the fire dragon became faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther, until it exceeded the range of the ice crystal arrow.

The fire dragon, which no longer planned to fight, swooped and accelerated at this time, and exchanging altitude for speed was obviously the best and most correct choice.

But at this time, in the eyes of the uninformed people around, it was strange enough for a person to grow wings. And an adult fire dragon was chased by a winged girl and fled, of course, the situation was even more weird.

Seeing that the distance from the fire dragon has been stretched too far. Linya was thinking about whether there was a time when it was necessary to keep chasing. Bender and the others, who had gone on a second bombing mission, returned from the front.

In order to get rid of the pursuit and entanglement of the pirate flying horses behind, they had just made a collective dive to accelerate the disengagement. But what they didn't expect was that the pirate's fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked its way, and unfortunately, it was almost the same height.

Bender hurriedly commanded the dragon eagle knights to scatter on both sides to dodge, but the depressed dragon knights were full of anger and had no way to vent, and at this moment they saw a group of enemies in front of them who could be bullied. And he rushed forward in a rage.

A dragon eagle that couldn't dodge was bitten by the fire dragon on the shoulder and neck, and with a squeak, the fire dragon shook its head hard, and actually pulled out a large piece of flesh and blood on the shoulder and neck of the dragon eagle. Along with one of the Dragon Eagle Knight's arms, he also bit off.

With a terrible scream, the dragon eagle and the dragon eagle knight fell together.

"Rook!" Bender shouted, but the dragon eagle knight was left with only a cry of sorrow farther and farther away. Linya hurriedly flew up, but when she saw the more than ten dense flying beasts in front of her, she didn't dare to take danger alone, but just shot an arrow from a distance to cover the retreat of Bender and the others.

When the fire dragon knight saw the ice arrow flying, he didn't dare to fight, and continued to flee forward, but the Pegasus knight who was chasing in front didn't know what to do, and when he was in a hurry, the ice crystal arrow suddenly deflected in a direction and hit the unprepared Pegasus.

The ice arrow pierced into the base of Pegasus' wings and exploded, completely breaking one of Pegasus's wings, and the knight was blown away. Seeing this, the pirate beast knights were startled and hurriedly dispersed to dodge, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Bender and the others took the opportunity to completely get rid of the pursuers and flew to Linya's side to protect them.

The pirates saw the power of the ice arrow, and then they understood how the fire dragon could be beaten so badly. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and when the pirate beasts saw that the fire dragon had flown away, they all lost the will to fight, and turned around and returned one after another.

Seeing that the other party was outnumbered, Linya did not dare to be reckless, and went to the sea where Rook fell with Bender and others to look around, but in the end they found nothing, so they had to return to the Liberty.

When the first rays of the morning sun finally shone on the tragic battlefield of Domingo's harbor after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the first round of the air battle finally came to an end. Both sides lost a flying beast and a knight, but the fire dragon's injury greatly reduced the combat power of the opposite side. But the strength of the enemy is still strong, especially in numbers, far superior.

Rodkin was directing the crew to urgently mend the balloons, while Bender was in a terrible mood because of the loss of one of his men. Everyone else was busy preparing for war, and Linya sent someone to ask the Governor's Palace for some supplies, but not long after, Governor Michael came in person, boarded the ship to thank Linya, discussed the battle tactical plan, and sent a lot of money, food, and supplies.

But Linya didn't have much time to waste with him. The previous aerial combat had caused Linya to discover a serious problem, summoning high-precision ice crystal arrows took too long and fired too slowly, making them ineffective in aerial combat. So after discussing it with Magister Gandra, Linya decided to make a batch of ice crystal arrows to save it now.

Although this kind of item made with magic cannot be stored for a long time due to the fact that the magic power is constantly and naturally emitted, and the longer it is stored, the weaker its magic power will become, but even so. In the case of knowing that there will be a battle soon, the prefabricated ice crystal arrow will also be much more convenient, fast and effective than summoning it on the fly.

It's a pity that this kind of ice crystal arrow that can have a magical resonance effect with the ice crystal bow can only be made by Linya herself, and no one else can help. And it's such a high-level eighth-level magic prop, it's too much magic and energy, plus I didn't sleep all night last night, and I played in the middle of the night, so I'm already tired. Linya worked hard to make a dozen or so ice crystal arrows, and she felt so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.

After Namia and Susanna's efforts to persuade her, Linya finally agreed to go back to bed for a nap.

Fortunately, the pirates' air force did not come to attack the port again all morning. However, the pirate ship's attacks did not stop. Pirates who landed on land also surrounded the city on three sides, and the siege battle had begun.

The situation remains critical.

At noon, the pirate beasts returned. But now they didn't dare to provoke the airship, and they besieged the last catapult in the North Harbor area.

Namia had to quickly wake up Linya. When Linya woke up, her mind was still dizzy. There was even some labor pain. Sleep deprivation can be a terrible feeling. Looking at the red silk in the little princess's eyes, Namia was also distressed. But I can't care so much about it at this time. I can only pick up Linya and dress her ruthlessly.

"How's it going?" asked Linya as she struggled to eat the unpalatable dry crackers.

It's wartime. On the battlefield, of course, there is no way to be critical of anything, but these things ...... It's too unpalatable, isn't it? But my stomach keeps growling, and I can't do it if I don't eat it. Alas, what a sin! You actually give the princess such a thing...... Well, although the mouth can't say it. But it's okay to complain in your heart, right?

"The pirate's air force was shot down by the defenders again, and a dragon eagle was shot down. However, they also blew up the last stone thrower in the northern part of the port. Now the Corsair is storming the locks and towers in the northern part of the port. The defenders no longer had any heavy weapons to pose a threat to these pirate ships. Bender replied.

"Domingo's fleet and the pirate fleet fought a few battles in the morning, and the defenders' forces were clearly weak, and although both sides suffered damage to each other, Domingo's navy had lost more than half of it. Now they are guarding the harbor and dare not go out to fight anymore. ”

"Those pirate air forces controlled several points of communication in the northern part of the port, and the defenders reinforced from land were blocked by the pirate air forces, and it was difficult to support the front line. The defenders of the North Port District are weak, and if they continue like this, they may not be able to hold out for half a day. Bender analyzed them one by one.

"It's not good! is the dragon there?" asked Linya.

"It hasn't been there yet. ”

"Why don't we drive the airship over and get those pesky guys away?" said the dwarf Captain Rodkin in a loud voice.

"No!" Linya shouted along with Suzanne and Bender. It seems that everyone is on the same page.

"Why? Do you just stay here and watch them fight?" the dwarven captain was puzzled to understand when he saw that everyone was opposing.

"This could be a pirate's ploy to divert the tiger, Captain Rodkin. Linya explained, "The dragon's maneuverability and speed are much faster than the airship, and if the Liberty goes to the North Port area to support, the fire dragon can take the opportunity to destroy the four stone throwers in the South Port area, and then the situation of the defenders will be even worse!"

"Well, that's ......" Rodkin rubbed his head a little embarrassed and shrank back into the crowd.

Linya thought for a while, sighed and said, "The Liberty is going to stay here, but we still have to go to the North Harbor area to support, otherwise the defenders won't be able to support Jerich's and Aven's troops." I'll go with Bender's Dragons and Eagles. ”

"Don't go, Your Highness Princess, it's too dangerous......" Suzanne said in embarrassment. Of course, she didn't want the little princess to go out and take risks easily, but there seemed to be no other way.

"I'm fine, Susanna, don't worry, isn't there still Captain Bender. It's just that I have to go, otherwise Bender and they are too few in number, and it will be difficult to compete with so many enemies. Linya comforted her, "Haven't everyone seen the strength of the ice crystal bow, as long as that fire dragon dares to come again, I dare to shoot it so that it can't fly!

"What's the problem?"

"That's it...... Why is it that the princesses in those fairy tales are always captured by the dragon and then saved by the dragon slayers? This is not fair! This is not scientific! This is discrimination! So, I decided to be the first to save the world - the dragon slayer princess!"

Dragon Slayer...... Princess?

Linya's joke suddenly made everyone fly black lines all over their faces.

I didn't expect her to be in the mood to joke at this time, or this kind of joke that makes people cry and laugh.

However, in this way, everyone's mood has eased a lot, and they are no longer as nervous and worried as before.

After some preparations, Linya and Bender and the other four dragon eagle knights left the Liberty airship and set off north. However, Linya did not spread her wings and fly, but hid behind Bender and set off together on the back of the dragon eagle. Fortunately, Linya's small body really doesn't weigh much, and Bende's Dragon Eagle can afford it.

After signing the experience of fighting in the morning, Linya changed into a ranger's tights and a skirt, which made it much easier to use the ice crystal bow. The ten ice crystal arrows were loaded with a quiver, but it felt a little awkward to put them behind the back, so they were tied to the right thigh, and they could be touched at hand, which was very convenient.

Now Linya really looks like an archer.

Seeing that the four dragon eagles of Bender dared to take the initiative to attack, the pirate flying beasts also concentrated their forces, set up a battle formation, and met them head-on with great momentum.

But just as the two sides were about to get close to the distance of hand-to-hand combat, Linya suddenly flew up from behind Bender and shot an ice crystal arrow in her hand.

At such a short distance, the current dragon eagle didn't have time to dodge at all, so it was shot head-on by an ice arrow, which directly penetrated its body, exploded into ice and fell down.

The sneak attack was successful.

Seeing this, the other pirate flying beasts all struck Linya with long-range attacks such as bows and arrows, fireballs, etc. However, in aerial combat, bows and arrows are actually a very ineffective weapon, because the speed of flying beasts is significantly faster than ground units, and it is not easy for two units moving against each other at high speed to shoot each other. Therefore, the air force is usually mainly based on melee units.

However, natural bow races like elves should be an exception. Linya's trackable magic arrows are, of course, an exception.

The four of Bender formed a fan in front of Linya, forming a defensive wall to prevent the opponent's flying beasts from breaking through, while Linya hid behind and used long-range ice arrows as the main damage output. After dodging the opponent's bow and arrow attack in the rapid movement, Linya took out the ice crystal arrow and counterattacked the opponent, and after several encounters, Linya successively shot down two flying beasts that tried to break through the defensive circle, never giving those pirates a chance to get close to her.

This battle plan was clearly very effective. (To be continued......)
