Chapter 114: Beasts in the Sky (Gageng)
Behind the shield-bearing militiamen was a row of spearmen. Under the cover of the shield wall, they held twelve-foot spears with both hands and stretched out from the gap between the horses, struggling to stab the enemy on the opposite side.
The combination of spears, repelling horses, and shield walls played a huge role in this offensive and defensive battle. The hadrosaur was hanging down its slender head and tilting the horse with its beak. Unexpectedly, several sharp spears pierced through the gap between the horse and penetrated deeply into the face that was not protected by feathers. Some spears even directly Poked into the dinosaur's eye, blood flowed on the spot. After all, the hadrosaur was a kind of reptile with low intelligence. After being attacked, it frantically shook its head and screamed, pushing and colliding with each other in a mess.
The lizardman knights on the dragon's back yelled at their mounts, trying to calm down the hadrosaur, but the effect was not satisfactory. Some knights were thrown off their backs by the frightened mounts. The dinosaur's webbed feet trampled hard, crushing it to a bloody mess.
Elder Basson saw that his own cavalry's offensive had stagnated, so he hurriedly made a spell-casting gesture, trying to smash the repelling horse with the "flame strike technique", opening a gap for the dragoons to attack the enemy's formation. However, as soon as the spell was prepared, Weiss countered it again, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
"Weiss, the son of Mirik, I have tolerated your provocation to the limit, it is time to end this farce!"
Elder Bassoon transferred his anger to Weiss, held up his wand and recited a murderous incantation in dragon language, the sapphire inlaid on the head of the wand shone brightly, and a magical summoning circle opened in the void, three of which were faintly visible Figures emerged from the magic circle one after another, and quickly condensed into shape.
The three summoned creatures look like flying horses at first glance, with wide brown wings spread out on both sides of their bodies, supporting them to soar into the air. However, after careful observation, Joan found that these monsters had many bird-like features besides the pair of wings, with a hook-like beak resembling an eagle's beak and two pairs of sharp claws.
Joan had once heard about this half-horse half-eagle monster from Kanti, and quickly reminded his companions to beware of these "hipster horses". Although hippogriffs can be domesticated as mounts for air combat, they are still wild, especially under the instruction of their masters. They are happy to tear open the belly of the enemy and peck at the hot fresh internal organs.
Elder Bassoon held his wand and pointed at the sentry tower where Weiss was standing, and gave an attack command viciously. The three eagle horses responded immediately, flapping their wings and flying towards the sentry tower.
Hearing Joan's warning, Weiss climbed over the guardrail surrounding the platform on the top of the tower before the hippy horse approached, and jumped directly from the high sentry tower.
Brothers Tom and Tyndale cried out in unison at the sight. Fortunately, Weiss had no intention of committing suicide. He turned into an owl in the air, spread his wings to hover and glide, and changed back to his original shape after landing safely.
At this time, there was a strange roar in the air, and the three hippodrome followed Wes closely and swooped down. Qiao An quickly observed the situation on the battlefield, and quickly rushed to the hippy horse closest to him. During the run, he entered a state of concentration in casting spells, and remotely controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" to slap the sky.
Snapped! There was a crisp slap in the air. One side of the cheek of the hippy that was trying to grab Wes swelled rapidly, and was dazed by the sudden slap. Dazed for a moment, he turned his head to look at Joan, and guessed intuitively that it was probably the one-eyed mage who slapped himself just now, and rushed towards him with a roar.
Joan raised the shield of his left arm, as if to resist the sharp claws of the mad hippo. The small elbow shield is vulnerable compared to the gigantic and sharp claws of the hippogriff. Moreover, even if the hippogriff is blocked, the left claw still has the right claw and the more lethal eagle beak to attack. Reckless act of resistance.
Qiao An suppressed the fear and opened his eyes wide, staring at the hippy horse that swooped down with the strong wind without blinking. The left arm in front of him couldn't help trembling slightly, and kept a defensive posture until the hippy horse approached within 30 feet. The spell that calls forth the light.
"Anar!"
Swish! Magical fluctuations emerged on the surface of the shield, and then a very bright cone-shaped beam was shot out, instantly drowning the hippogriff. The monster's eyes were unsuspectingly exposed to the strong light, and the pain was unbearable for an instant, and the continuous tears forced it to close its eyes and scream in horror.
At the same time as Joan activated the "Flash Shield", he used his mind to remotely control the "Hand of the High Mage" and pulled out the "Electric Blade", stabbing the hippogriff's neck without hesitation.
The enchanted dagger dragged a blue arc and pierced deeply into the hippogriff's body, and blood spurted out. The injured hippo screamed repeatedly, desperately flapping its wings to try to get out of the predicament, but its heavily injured body fell down uncontrollably.
The gray bag beast Gray followed behind Joan every step of the way. Seeing the hippogriff falling crookedly, he immediately stretched out his long arms and grabbed the pine tree beside him, trying his best to uproot the whole tree, like waving a huge broom. Sweep down the eagle horse that was still struggling in mid-air, and then turn to the big tree to make up for the fatal blow. There was a loud bang and dust flew up, and the hippo was smashed into meatloaf on the spot.
Qiao An didn't care to take a breath, and hurriedly turned around to look for her companion. It was soon noticed that another hippy was pursuing Wes. The lizardman prince was chased by this ferocious monster, and he had no time to cast spells.
"Wes, I'll help you!"
Holding the big shield and the war hammer, Tom ran towards Wes like a galloping tin can, and held up the shield to block the hippodrome that swooped down from the air for him.
Under the blessing of inertia, the sturdy hippo was like a meteorite falling from the sky, hitting the dwarf blacksmith and sitting on the ground. Hippogriff itself was also bounced backward by the reaction force, fluttering its wings in embarrassment, trying to regain its center of gravity.
Weiss hid behind Tom, seized the respite that the dwarf blacksmith had won for him, quickly completed the preparations for casting, and blasted a ball of flames at the hippo.
The Hippogriff realized that the crisis was approaching, and flapped its wings vigorously to raise its flying height, narrowly dodging the "burning fire" attack. However, before the monster could breathe a sigh of relief, an invisible force field forcefully slapped it on the face.
Snapped! It was another resounding slap on the face, which made the eagle's eyes stare.
Weiss did not miss the opportunity this time. He raised his hand and threw out a ball of flames, which hit the hippogriff's chest firmly, and quickly ignited the feathers on its body, turning it into a big fireball burning in the air.
The hippodrome covered in flames struggled to fly not far away and fell down whining. The half-breed winter wolf Jamie swooped up like a silver lightning, and spewed out a mouthful of cold air at the hippodrome that was still rolling on the ground. The horse soon stopped struggling.
On the other side of the sentry tower, Roger raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot rang out, a cloud of blood exploded in the air, and the last hippogriff was wounded by the shotgun and slid to the ground with a mournful cry.
