Chapter 420: Chapter 92: Who Wields the Colored Ribbon Dancing in the Sky_2

For the finishing move "Yi Tiao", Liu Zhenhan vividly referred to it as the "Aegean Sky Launch". The terror of "Aegean Sky Launch" was even worse than its destructive power, and the damage it wrought on human spirits was far more extreme. The charging Light Cavalry would always find a pancaked cavalry corpse in their path, and every rider who saw such a sight would be left wondering if they would be next.

The importance of a rider’s mount is demonstrated in its fullest in this moment by Liu Zhenhan. The terror of "Yi Tiao" is fully realized in this battle. The power to dominate the weak can bring pleasure to anyone, Liu Zhenhan and Guoguo are no exceptions. {PS: This is true of anyone bored, myself included. Hahaha~}

It’s a pity, though, that after this attack, the human cavalry quickly wisened up. From their initial charge in small groups, they scattered, fleeing individually. It wasn’t that the cavalry were particularly clever, it was purely instinct.

The vast wilderness was suddenly filled with running cavalry, like ants whose nest had been disturbed, or like stars in the resplendently night sky. The Firebird’s "Column of Flame" was powerful, but not infinite. The Firebird began to rely on simple attacks with its own body.

One "Aegean Sky Launch" after another, coupled with the Firebird’s sharp "Beak Charges", finally sparked the human’s bloodlust. Their inherent sense of defiance began to suppress their fear. Some bold archer riders who were unwilling to destroy themselves would often turn on the spot when targeted by the Firebird, they began to countercharge along the path of the Firebird’s swooping flight, organizing small counterattacks.

The Tornado Mercenary Group’s archer riders are a rather rare formation among the mercenary groups in the Aegean Continent. Training archer riders is very difficult. It’s challenging to aim arrows accurately from the back of a galloping horse; this requires years of intense training to master.

Well-trained archer riders are a formidable mobile force. Galloping horses add power and range to their arrows, which can even rival medium-sized crossbows. And indeed, this was just what these archer riders did. After galloping their horses, they used the momentum to shoot their arrows towards the large body of the low-flying Firebird.

"Yi Tiao", whether it was sheer combat instinct or intentional show-off, gave Officer Liu another exhilarating rush.

When the arrows attacked, it did not choose to evade using its nimble flying skills, but chose to meet the attack head-on. The intent of a magical pet is undoubtedly in tune with its master. Although Liu Zhenhan did not have actual command over the Firebird, Guoguo’s fighting style had already developed into a daring and direct close combat style during their long time spent together.

Accompanied by a clear cry, "Yi Tiao’s" feathers shimmered with rolling fire-red arcs like waves. In an instant, the Firebird’s originally black and white feathers all turned into a deep ruby color. A few scattered arrows hit its belly and neck, and after making a metallic clanging sound, they exploded into a flurry of sparks and were deflected. The sharp arrowheads were unable to pierce the hard feathers.

The Firebird’s feathers were originally soft and lush, to the point that Guoguo could swim in them while hunting for lice. Such soft down could never withstand the arrows shot by a galloping rider. So, why did a roll of red light cause such a change? This transformation caused Liu Zhenhan and Guoguo, the two misfits, to roll their eyes at each other from behind their sunglasses. They reached out and touched the Firebird’s ruby-like feathers, and Liu Zhenhan felt like he was caressing a warm piece of iron armor.

Human resistance ceased at this point, and no one chose such a futile counterattack anymore.

Liu Zhenhan was somewhat regretful at this point. He felt he was too impulsive using the Firebird against these small fry. It was as uninteresting as shooting mosquitos in the sky with an antiaircraft gun. Although at least two hundred cavalry had fallen in the wilderness after several rounds of attacks, these riders only fled faster in the face of immense fear, their routes became more unpredictable and, in their chaos, not even a "Column of Flame" could burn five or six at once, now it could only burn one at a time.

But this kind of sheep-herding chase also achieved Liu’s other strategic goal from the very beginning: to follow the light cavalry’s trail and fly to the core of the Tornado Mercenary Group’s main force. By then, while the Tornado Mercenary Group was in confusion from the rush of the light cavalry, "Yi Tiao’s" "Column of Flame" could...

Indeed, the Firebird, whose power is universally acknowledged as stronger than the Frost Giant Dragon, has made Liu Zhenhan proud.

As the evening sun and the dusk hung faintly on the horizon, just as he had anticipated, the heavily packed troops of the Tornado Mercenary Group appeared on the horizon. However, almost simultaneously, a group of black dots surged towards the Firebird from the distant sky.

The leader of the Tornado Mercenary Group, Gatuso, was highly adept in the art of war. The vibration created by a charge of a thousand riders on the plains could be felt from miles away, enabling experienced mercenaries to estimate the numbers based solely on the sound. Even after that, all cautious Tornado mercenaries had already formed a defensive formation where they stood.
