Chapter 1,296: Fighting for Air Supremacy

Sky Rose did not advance in a hurry. Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they pushed the position forward step by step. About 1,000+ ballistas and stone cannons were pushed forward at the front, and a dense cavalry phalanx was behind them. Then there are the archers, spiritualists, etc., typical of the steady tactical style.

…

The sound of horse hooves, the clash of armor, the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and the echo of war drums are mixed together. Our opponents have already made an offensive stance. The effective range of the ballista is about 500 meters, and they can enter in less than a minute. This shooting range is far away. In the air, players riding griffons are hovering in the air. Griffins are Iron Skull City's special mounts. Their offensive and defensive attributes are far better than those of war eagles. Although they are not as powerful as dragon riders, there are enough of them. The words are enough to give any opponent a headache.

Obviously Sky Rose has not been idle in the past few months. The total number of players with griffons in Iron Skull City is definitely hundreds of thousands, and they are densely packed. Among them are swordsmen, knights, and archers. They are densely packed. Archers ride on griffins and hold longbows in their hands, ready to launch attacks from the air at any time.

"How can an archer ride a horse?" Wang Jian asked in surprise, holding the Longxiang knife.

Lin Xiaowu knew the actual situation better and said quietly: "There is a gryphon mountain directly west of Iron Skull City, and there is a gryphon temple on it. Players can get a gryphon as a mount by completing achievements, so their bows and arrows You can also ride griffins, but you can only ride griffons and cannot obtain other mount types."

The God of Death lamented: "This is so exaggerated, even an archer can ride a mount!"

"This is the characteristic of Iron Skull City, not cheating."

I suddenly pulled out the butterfly sword and shouted loudly: "Prepare to defend! Dragon crystal cannon, bomb indiscriminately!"

The time for the decisive battle has arrived.

On the front line, the dragon-slaying cavalry combat players drew their weapons and pushed their shields forward. Their faces were full of challenges. The group of people we faced were the most elite players in the entire server, including the American War Zone. The elite of the First Guild's War Blade, they are the enemies that pose the greatest threat to us. Once we win the decisive battle here, we should be the strongest in the entire server.

On the mountainside, dragon crystal cannons began to fire, and "puffy" mushroom clouds with a range of nearly 50 meters were brought out. I deliberately put the people from Iron Skull City into it and then fired. The shooting accuracy improved a lot. It can be seen with the naked eye that countless players are howling miserably in the artillery fire, and their health and vitality are plummeting. With the equipment and level of the players now, they are rarely killed instantly, but the large-scale blood loss has affected their offensive pace. , after all, they are also facing the strongest guilds in the Chinese theater.

…

Each shot of the dragon crystal cannon causes about 300,000 damage to players, and the damage to players in god form is less than 200,000. However, the intensive bombing still makes the players in Iron Skull City die before they make contact. Thousands of people, the players in the front row raised their weapons like crazy, the cavalry has already launched an attack on us, and the ballistas and stone cannons in the back row have begun to be set up. Their primary target is our group of people in the mountains. Players with defenses at their feet.

Stretching for several miles under the mountain, nearly 100,000 players and NPCs from Tianling City formed a barrier to guard here, waiting for the opponent's attack.

"Crack!"

The Butterfly Sword suddenly stabbed and killed a team leader-level War Blade player. Before he died, he still grabbed the hilt of my sword with his hand and shouted: "Brothers, charge!"

I flipped my wrist and knocked them back. Sure enough, there was another attack from a dozen people from behind. It was so good. I shook my long sword and flew out with Wind Slash, killing more than a dozen people quickly in the process of charging. But I With a cold gaze, he also discovered that the opponent's tens of thousands of crossbows and stone cannons had launched an attack together, and densely packed heavy steel arrows and stones were thrown towards him!

Matcha saw it clearly and hurriedly shouted: "Shield wall defense!"

The players in the front row raised their shields one after another. Lin Wan'er, Li Mu and other dragon knight players used their dragon bodies to resist the attacks of ballistas and stone cannons. I even jumped forward and stood in the air with my left hand open. , the power of the star field all over his body began to gather, and the "swishing" gathered into a huge star shield to protect the front of the position. For a while, the banging sound of "bang bang bang" was endless, and countless attack instruments fell on the stars. on the shield, but it didn't cause any harm to me.

The moment the Star Shield collapsed, Lin Xiaowu behind him shouted loudly: "Archer, shoot!"

Countless arrows flew away from the string, shooting at the opponent with a heavy blackness. If Sky Rose's position advancement tactics are very stable, then our position defense lineup is even more perfect. Tens of thousands of archers are hidden at the foot of the mountain, leaning on about 10 The height advantage of three meters is enough to launch the projectile. The power of such an attack cannot be underestimated.

The sound of "Puff, puff, puff" was endless. Our archer attacks kept falling into the opponent's crowd. Although they could not kill instantly, they greatly damaged the blood. Before they could draw the second arrow, the fox was already holding a musket. He led a group of musketeers to the rear of the front line and shouted: "Bombardment, use your strongest skills to rectify the name of the musketeer profession!"

The muskets in their hands are all the same, standard weapons. Needless to say, these must be Nangong Ling's masterpieces.

The next moment, the musketeers' enhanced artillery skills continued to wreak havoc in the crowd. Although their power was not as strong as that of the dragon crystal cannon, their shooting accuracy and density were far superior to those of the dragon crystal cannon. In an instant, a whole group of players who tried to attack our position fell to the ground and died. In particular, the fox's three god-killing cannons, which hit three times in a row and directly killed several knights with full health. The power was amazing!

…

"Be careful, it's the griffin archers!" Lin Wan'er pointed to the sky and said loudly: "Raise your shield to defend against their piercing damage!"

Sky Rose served as the commander-in-chief of the American theater this time. It was considered that the firepower was unleashed. More than 10,000 griffin archers flew over and stopped about 200 meters above us. They no longer approached, so our archers and magic could not reach them, but they could rely on the air advantage to shoot downward to maximize the power of their skills!

"All the god-level players of the heavy armor system, follow me!"

I shouted and entered the god-transformation form. I stepped on the upper god halo and rushed up with Li Mu, Xue Rou, Wang Jian and other players. What came to me was the dense arrow attack of the griffin archers. It was particularly painful when it landed on the face and chest. These people were elite archers of the Iron Skull City. Their equipment had great armor-breaking power. Even if I was shot by hundreds of people, I was hit to 70% of my health in a minute. Fortunately, the CD of the Star Shield was ready!

"Swish!"

Relying on the advantage of flying speed, I almost killed a group of griffin archers with a sonic boom effect. Wan'er, Matcha, Li Mu and others behind me also launched skills to strangle the opponent. When I raised my hand, Thunder Nine Heavens + Dragon Nine Heavens Lingtian burst out, which was very dazzling, and the whole sky was almost illuminated.

Below, Chi Yuqing had led 2w+ Flame Eagle Cavalry Archers to kill!

"Disperse, continue to fire, kill one at a time!" A griffin archer ordered loudly.

This group of people is really strong. They are very skilled in dispersing and firing, which makes us players in the god form very painful. In an instant, Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Ran Min all escaped with low health. Lin Wan'er rode on a dragon and suddenly opened the iron umbrella. With a "clatter", the iron umbrella was amplified in the god form, just like a giant umbrella that provided protection for Li Mu and others.

"Damn it, damn it!" an archer said angrily, "It's too hard to seize air supremacy. Retreat, their Fanshu City NPC army is coming!"

A group of people wanted to leave, but it was not that easy. Lin Wan'er, Matcha and I quickly chased back and held back thousands of people. There was a fire behind us. The Flame Eagle Riders shot together and instantly shot down nearly 3,000 Griffin Riders, but there were still 7,000 people who escaped. Further ahead was their Griffin Air Corps. We'd better not chase them. I don't want to kill several god-level players and tens of thousands of Flame Eagle Riders.

...

A trial air raid made Sky Rose give up the idea of ​​air strikes. The 100,000 Flame Eagle Riders I mobilized from Fanshu City are simply the strongest air force in the world at this stage. Thanks to these Flame Eagle Riders, otherwise Sky Rose would have taken out hundreds of thousands of Griffin Riders Air Force, and we really couldn't do anything with her. Once air supremacy was seized, we would be greeted by a very tragic battle of trapped beasts.

The ground attack is still in full swing, and the attack of the crossbow carts makes us extremely passive!

And this time their crossbow carts are specially made, and the steel arrows are very sharp, and can even penetrate the shields of our players with weaker defense, causing huge penetration damage. Tens of thousands of crossbow carts are launched together, and the players of guilds such as Zhanlong and Appearance Association are losing very fast. Zhanlong's Molten God Iron Cavalry is okay, with sufficient defense. With the treatment of the Xuanhu, only a few hundred people were shot and killed. The loss of the Appearance Association is already in the thousands, and the losses of the other small and medium-sized guilds are even more shocking, some of which have already reached tens of thousands.

…

"The Dragon Crystal Cannon is not very powerful!" Li Mu looked back at the heavy artillery camp on the hillside.

I shook my head: "It's not that the Dragon Crystal Cannon is not powerful, but the opponent is too hard-working. The number of casualties of the Dragon Crystal Cannon is definitely far greater than that of the crossbow cart, but we can also see the intention of Sky Rose. She wants to win too much. She probably wants to seize the Dragon Forbidden Land within a few hours, otherwise their next plan will not be able to be rolled out."

"Ah? What other plans are there?"

"Li Mu, do you think the alien demons on the Sea of ​​No Return can't beat the less than 10 million troops of the Prague and Fengmang guilds? You have to know that there are almost no NPC troops there. According to the previous intensity of the alien demons' attacks, they might have been broken long ago."

"This...then why don't the alien demons attack with all their strength?" Li Mu was silent.

"Waiting."

My eyes turned cold and said: "Although the Indian players of Qiyao City did not attack us, Qingmou Tuomo still wants to destroy Tianling City through the hands of the alien demons! The Sea of ​​No Return is a chess piece, the desert is a chess piece, and the players of Zeyuan City in Vulcan Mountain are also a chess piece. With the troops of Sky Rose attacking the Dragon Forbidden Land, as long as there is a gap, they will immediately be the general!"
