Chapter 935: The Harpy
General Anton silently looked at the sky, and saw a group of eagle-like people flying slowly towards his formation. The group of harpies were carrying a large package on their backs, and when they suddenly looked at it, it seemed as if they had become hunchbacks. It is precisely because of the weight they carry is so large that the flight speed becomes so slow.
And this kind of special transformation is also the first time it has appeared, which also makes the human alliance quite nervous. However, the harpies did not fly low, they slowly crossed the top of the magic shield in the air, and then threw the large package on their backs.
"Oh no!" Michelle cried inwardly. He was a junior officer who led a hundred-man squad of archers. At this time, his troops, together with a large number of archers, formed an archery unit of up to three thousand.
"Target the sky, shoot!" the officer commanding the archery unit commanded loudly, and all the archers fired at the large package that floated down. Michelle's archery skills were excellent, and he shot three rounds in a matter of seconds. Seeing the dense arrows forming a rain of arrows, a ridiculous thought suddenly rose in Michelle's heart, "What should I do when those arrows fall?"
"Boom, boom, boom——!" Large packages were shot one after another, and huge magical flames exploded in the air. After all, the height of those eagles was too high, and it was easy to judge the trajectory of the fall. But as soon as the cheers rang out, Michelle noticed that the situation had changed, and the arrows turned around and fell, forming a rain of arrows again, and enveloping the entire bow and arrow army.
"Lie down!" Michelle hurriedly crouched down and activated his vindictive shield. He tried to shrink his size as much as he could, trying to dodge the arrows that fell. The screams around him became one after another, and Michelle realized that the youngest child in his team of 100 had been shot through the thigh by an arrow. He was clutching his wound and screaming, when another arrow plunged into the heart of the child's head, and in a blink of an eye, he fell to the ground with wide eyes. Michelle thought silently, "Is this kid only seventeen, or sixteen......? Maybe I'm next?"
The arrows that fell seemed to be endless, as if it was raining heavily, and as if thousands of years had passed, in fact, it was more than ten breaths of time, and all the arrows in the air finally landed. Michelle jumped up immediately and shouted, "Report the number of the 200th team, report the casualties!" But he found that his shouting had become a little hoarse, and there was a hint of fear and joy that he had escaped death.
Although most of the large packages in the air were intercepted, the arrows that went straight up and down still caused a lot of casualties to the archers. More than 30 percent were killed and hors de combat, and that's not counting those who were slightly wounded. Michelle also found that he also had several arrows stuck in his armor. If it weren't for the fact that Michelle was a great swordsman, who could release the shield of fighting energy, as an officer, and had a good piece of armor, he might have been injured or killed.
The first group of Harpies flew away quickly, and a second group appeared in the distant sky. Some mages and knights with flying beasts soared into the air. The archer's accidental wound is too great, so let's engage in air combat!And these powerful magicians and air knights did knock down those harpys one after another. Seeing such a result, Michelle and his comrades around him couldn't help but cheer loudly.
However, the good times did not last long, and seeing that the situation was not good, the Harpy changed his tactics. In groups of seven or eight, they began to besiege in groups, and whenever they approached, they immediately detonated the large packages on their backs, killing and injuring the magicians and air knights with a suicidal attack. Such a desperate attack immediately hit a gap.
And the ferocity of the harpy also came up. This time, instead of throwing in the air, they dived frequently, and rushed to the crowd below with people and packages. Although some of them were still killed by the archers in the air, the arrows hit the bodies of the harpies at most, but it was difficult to hit the large package behind them, so huge magical flames rose from the ground, and the troops below were already blown to pieces.
Byrne was crouching dangerously on a high-platform lookout converted from a chariot, holding a clairvoyant scope, observing the situation on the battlefield, and from time to time reporting the information he observed to the commanders below.
In battle, he had little to do other than observe. He watched as the harpies broke through the large magical shields held up in the front row, and his mood became anxious and fearful. Such a life-for-life dive is terrifying. So Byrne's mouth couldn't help but start muttering: "It's really a demon! ”
"What are you talking about?" the chief below asked in a loud voice when he saw Byrne's mouth moving.
"I didn't ...... Nothing!"
"Then be attentive!"
Three harpies almost landed at one spot, and Byrne saw a much larger magical flame rise up than usual. So he suddenly could not see the positions of the archers in front of him. Byrne's heart was silently praying, and he was constantly comforting himself: "It should be fine, but the vision is blocked!"
When the smoke and dust finally cleared, I saw a huge earthen pit in the middle of the place where the archers had been located. And around the earthen pit, many warriors fell crookedly. Byrne's heart sank, could they all ......?
At this moment, Byrne suddenly saw many figures moving. They got up from the ground one after another. This made Byrne instantly ecstatic, and he subconsciously clenched his right fist: "Our troops will never be defeated." ”
......
Although the troops at the forefront suffered huge losses, General Anton's expression remained calm. Unlike those warriors, he knew that the demons had the class of transforming people. And this is the important information that Dipu brought back from the Demon Realm. By the time Platini returned, a number of reformers had already been scrapped due to the destruction of the passage. And this time, a lot of reformers were consumed back and forth. Although due to the loss of mind, the transformers controlled by the demons can be fierce and not afraid of death. However, the "shelf life" of the transformed person is too short, and the transformed materials are particularly rare. So it's not fatal, it's just a nuisance.
General Anton also already knew about the defeat of General Gore. So his heart was even more urgent. And when he saw the suicide attack of the Harpie, instead of being more anxious, he felt much more at ease. is so crazy, it means that the demons can't support it either. With a little more effort, it may be the last straw on the camel's back.
General Anton was not wrong in his judgment. General Overmars on the opposite side has indeed used all means. Seeing that the more than a thousand harpies were all consumed, General Overmars's heart was dripping blood. Not just for these lost Harpies, but also for so many magical materials to make large packages. (To be continued.) )
