Chapter 413: Chapter 90: Screaming Reaper_4

Safe within the ice cave, the globose of the falcon knights failed to land on anything other than pieces of ice.

The archers of Aegean were also at a loss. Their bow and arrows had a range of only four hundred yards, and the effective killing range was only two hundred yards. However, those falcons remained afloat at a distance of six to seven hundred yards. Apart from the stinky Beamon operating a limited number of bed crossbows, the Divine Archers of House had no real response.

Just as the first round of crossbow arrows from the Falcon Knights ran out, at the summons of the Musketeers’ bamboo flute, forty Newton giant birds swiftly flew out of the fourth large cave. In the gaze of countless eyes, they slowly glided over the ice-bound parapet, and agile figures jumped straight onto the saddles of these giant birds, dextrously one after the other.

In the stunned eyes of the three falcon knights, forty teams of the Newton airborne, gliding over the high slope from the west side, the patched meat wings of the Newton giant birds circling in the air, gradually adapting to the airflow and the rhythm of flight. Under the leadership of Ardu, the forty Newton air cavalry formed an irregular arrow-shaped attack formation, boldly approaching the three falcon knights like a pack of wolves.

This huge and abrupt change left the Twister mercenaries who were setting up their camp flabbergasted. From the moment two falcon knights were shot down, to the appearance of a group of airborne knights, it all happened in an instant. This rapid turn of events didn’t even give the mercenaries time to react.

When they clearly saw the full-body golden-colored battle armors on those giant birds, but the meat wings were fitted with patches of different sizes, the Twister mercenaries found it amusing. Especially when they realized it was a group of Newton giant birds forming the airborne soldiers, they thought it was even more interesting.

The flight speed of the Newton Giant Bird is slow, it’s impossible to compare with the Falcon, and Beamon doesn’t have the skills to make such costly repeat crossbows. They are riding such Newton Giant Birds with ragged meat wings - how can they confront Pompei’s famous aerial scouts who are known throughout the continent for their military might?

The Falcon Knights, who sought to maintain aerial confrontation throughout their training, had not actually experienced it before. But the inherent combative spirit of the people of the northern country showed they didn’t fear it at all.

According to the air combat teachings handed down from the Heigar era, the way of fighting in the air is almost the same as the cavalry fighting on the ground. The ground cavalry wielding spears, using the speed of warhorses, instantly impales the opponent through in a cross movement. Airborne knights close the gap to fifty yards, using all their strength to shoot the opponent with their repeating crossbows and magical beast ephemeral magic, making them as ravaged as a beehive. If both sides fail to shoot, they pull out their long swords like knights and continue hacking.

Human Airborne Knights have achieved brilliant results with such tactics. The expensive repeating crossbows made by human craftsmen in the Aegean Continent are incredibly powerful, with a flatly aimed range of up to a hundred yards. The most lethal radius is fifty yards. Within fifty yards, the seven crossbow arrows forming a patch of floral surface cover all attack angles. In the Tennessee air battle, the Bird Clan giant birds equipped with throwing spears suffered a lot, as back in the days, they had no other tactics but to use human wave tactics to confront the "Death Fifty Yards".

The three Falcon Knights chuckled in their hearts. They were Pompei scouts equipped with two dense repeating crossbows! These ignorant giant birds dared to confront them! Falcons are magical Beasts with the bloodline of gryphons. Although the attacking magic "Fireball" is not as powerful as the gryphon, the Falcon’s sharp teeth and forepaws were definitely not something a mixed-race Newton Giant Bird could contend with, even if armored. As soon as these Beamon Newton airborne got close to fifty yards, they would first send them two batches of crossbow arrows and throw a fireball, and then rely on the speed of the Falcon to quickly fly away. By the time they loaded the arrows, the Falcon would turn back and shoot another batch of them. If it didn’t work, they could fight hand to hand. All three Pompei scouts had absolute confidence in their swords and falcons’ ferocity.

What they didn’t expect though, was that the giant moose horn slingshot of the Musketeers had a range of up to a hundred and fifty yards, and it was all within the effective range.

The small fireball of the falcon was the first to shoot. But the blood glue lying beneath the reconstructed vines possessed amazing popping power, disintegrating the hybrid fireball in no time. A group of Newton Cavalry didn’t even make an evasive move and continued to charge.

Ardu’s whistle rang out. The Newton Giant Bird swarm, which was originally in an arrow-shaped attack formation, immediately changed into three stacks of attack formations aligned in a line during their slow flight, and started their attack at a distance of one hundred and fifty yards.

The flight speed in the air is swift. After opening fire, the Musketeers immediately nosedived. The Falcon Knights’ crossbow arrows didn’t even have a chance to shoot, and they exploded into beautiful fireworks in the sky.

Although Morading’s rage is limited against heavy armor, it is certainly effective against airborne troops wearing only leather armor.

Moreover, in this round of attack by the Musketeers, five shots were fired at once. After all, the boss was watching below, it was the first battle and they were playing a smaller number with more, so the Musketeers were kind of making sure to win by any means they had.

Two hundred Moradin’s rage, death by fire.

In the sky of Aegean, the Musketeers wrote their first stanza of the song of flesh and blood with their strength.

The Beamon who came to support the fight in Aegean all looked up, with moist corners of their eyes.

After so many years, who would have thought Beamon would see the blue sky again! And now, they were even able to compete against human aerial cavalry!

Only Gortani looked unhappy, her "Sky Banning Song" was not prepared yet, and the battle was already over.

A sharp whistle sounded. The Newton map-leading airborne led by Ardu nosedived and charged towards the group of Tornado mercenaries who were setting up camp.

Their target was clearly the world-famous Tel Aviv Berserkers.
