Chapter 2639 Giant Crow Air Attack
Audrey is from Canaan, the "Land of Pegasus", and she owns a Pegasus mount herself. The extraordinary profession "Azure Knight" is a mutant paladin that evolved to adapt to air combat. Of course, she knows that military crows are swarming above her head What does circling mean, hastily and loudly reminded the surrounding officers and soldiers.
"Don't look! Lie down!"
"Why lie down?"
"Will those big birds in the sky come down and peck people?"
Someone actually asked such a stupid question.
"If you lie on the ground, won't you get your ass pecked?"
I don't know who said an inappropriate joke, which caused everyone to laugh.
Audrey was anxious and angry, and before she had time to explain, the group of giant crows in the sky had already lined up in small groups and swooped down towards the hillside one by one.
The giant crows swooped down collectively, bringing a strong airflow. As the distance from the ground shortened sharply, their figures became clearer and more oppressive. The soldiers of the Continental Army had already seen the cold light flashing in the giant crow's dark eyes, and the talking and laughing stopped abruptly, only then did they realize that something was wrong.
However, it was too late.
The moment the dive reached the lowest point, the well-trained Feizhen Airmen pulled the rope with their flexible bird claws, and the blasting barrels mounted on both sides of the body fell down.
The blast barrel filled with alchemy gunpowder weighed about a hundred pounds. Throwing away the weight of two hundred pounds in total, the giant crow lightened up immediately, fluttered its wings and climbed up, returning to the sky in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, the blasting barrel drew a beautiful parabola in the air, just as the giant crows had calculated, and accurately landed on the position of the Continental Army.
The moment the iron barrel hit the ground, it triggered the fuze made of "Thunderstone". The high temperature and high pressure generated by the explosion of the fuse instantly ignited the gunpowder in the barrel, and there was a violent explosion with a bang, and the flames rushed!
The broken pieces of iron and the small steel balls filled in the bucket splashed wildly, and the storm of iron and fire swept across the position, knocking the soldiers of the Continental Army who were still in a daze around to the ground, bleeding from bullet holes all over their bodies, which was horrible.
After a round of bombing by the Crow Air Wing, they dropped a total of more than 200 blasting barrels and more than 2,000 pounds of alchemy gunpowder, turning the hillside occupied by the Continental Army into a sea of flames, and igniting all the vegetation.
The air raid caused no less than a thousand casualties, most of whom were injured by flying shrapnel and steel balls (graupe) when they were unsuspecting.
Some people were stuck to their bodies by the "blazing glue" sprayed out of the blasting barrel, screaming and rolling in the muddy water, but they couldn't stop the intense alchemical reaction, and were finally burned to death.
Before the air raid came, Audrey took her younger brother to hide in the ditch, and immediately heard the roar of landslides and ground cracks, mud, water, sand and soil splashed over, and the ground beneath her seemed to be trembling.
As soon as the surrounding explosions subsided, Audrey got up and hurriedly said to Holden, "Hide here and don't run around. I'll go out and check the situation."
Before Holden had time to dissuade her, her sister had turned over and jumped out of the trench, rushing into the flames to rescue the wounded soldiers.
The soldiers of the Continental Army had never seen such a scene. They were frightened by a round of air strikes and fled in all directions. The troops that had managed to restore order fell into chaos again.
Audrey tried her best but couldn't heal the wounded soldiers everywhere, let alone calm down the panicked people, she couldn't help but feel a burst of despair...
After the Giant Crows finished dropping their bombs, they turned around and headed back, flew back to the North Bank of the Mead River, and landed on their own base. The ground crew immediately came to assist the Giant Crows to mount the blasting barrels.
After a short rest, the crow officer who was the captain of the regiment uttered a hoarse long cry, and led his subordinates to flap their wings into the air, and flew to the sky above the Continental Army's position, planning to launch another wave of air strikes.
At this time, the right-wing position of the Continental Army was in chaos, and only the soldiers who were far away from the air strike area could barely maintain their composure. They noticed that the swarms of giant crows were flying back, and they were not in the mood to watch the excitement at the moment. They quickly raised their guns and shot towards the sky. Trying to stop the Raven air strike.
There was a burst of gunfire on the hillside, and the anti-aircraft firepower seemed fierce, but unfortunately it did not cause much substantial damage to the enemy giant crow.
At this time, the vertical height between the giant crow and the ground was more than 200 yards, and the smoke that diffused in the sky seriously hindered the vision, so it was difficult for even a sharpshooter to hit the flying target.
Even if one or two bullets hit the crow by chance, it didn't mean much.
Although the giant crows serving in the Feizhen army did not wear armor or armor, they all wore magic collars dedicated to aviation soldiers around their necks.
This metal collar, which is as black as the feathers of a giant crow, is enchanted with 4 spells in total.
The first is the 0-ring trick "Message Spell" with no limit on the number of times it can be used, so that the giant crows will not be disturbed by wind, rain and gunfire. Team members can communicate with each other at any time. The orders issued by the captain can be conveyed to all in the first place. in the ears of subordinates.
The collar is also enchanted with "SMS" and "Anti-Bolt Barrier", which can be used three times a day. The former is used to contact the ground command, and the latter is specially used to defend against sniper attacks from the ground.
At this time, the giant crows have activated the "Anti-Arrow Barrier", and when they receive a non-magic long-range attack, they will automatically reduce the damage of 3 energy levels.
The firearms held by the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army are not magical weapons. Even if they hit the giant crow by chance, a small lead bullet is not enough to penetrate the "arrow barrier".
The last spell enchanted on the collar of the giant crow is the 2nd level "Wind Breeze", which can be used three times a day.
The giant crows flew over the smoky and dusty Continental Army position, spread their wings and circled, until they received the command from the captain, they collectively activated the "wind making" attached to the collar.
The magic power gathered into a berserk airflow, and after a while, the gunpowder smoke over the position was blown away, clearing the field of vision for the giant crows to launch the next wave of dive bombing.
Never let the crows drop bombs on us again!
This thought flashed through Audrey's mind like a flash of lightning, and she immediately held the holy emblem and chanted a prayer in praise of the Sun God, and the heavens called for her exclusive mount.
"Lafayette, take off! Help me deal with the giant crows in the air!"
Audrey got on the pegasus and urged eagerly.
Tenma nodded, spread out a pair of pure white wings, and soared into the sky from the ground of the Continental Army.
While Pegasus was taking off, Audrey raced against time to prepare for the upcoming bloody battle. First, he blessed himself and his mount with the "Arrow Defense Barrier", then stroked the diamond brooch on his chest, and silently recited the spell to activate the enchantment on the brooch "Stone Skin Technique".
This magic brooch was given to Audrey by Joan. She couldn't help but feel melancholy when she thought of the young mage who didn't know where she was now.
However, the battlefield filled with gunpowder is not a good occasion for nostalgia. She reluctantly suppressed the worries in her heart, pulled out the Canaan Azure Knight's special air combat weapon "Dragon Cavalry Spear" from the storage bag, held the gun barrel steadily with both hands, and aimed at the opposite head. The giant crow that started to swoop, decisively pulled the trigger!
