Chapter 439 Bloodstained Sky
The griffins on the opposite side rushed towards them, how could they not see the airship formation in the air?
Orna said to Milia beside her: "Attack preparation, wait for the opponent to enter the range, and then give them a wave." Milia made a gesture of knowing, then closed her eyes and began to communicate.
Through the plant brain, the surrounding airships entered the combat state at the first time. There is still a gun barrel group on each side, which is exposed through the opened wooden shell. There is still one below, but the top has changed.
It is no longer just one on the top, but two gun barrel groups appear on the sides of the top, so there are five on the entire airship. The change of the airship did not arouse the vigilance of the Griffin Knights. They are still rushing quickly, doing the same as before, and they are very familiar with this kind of aerial combat.
But when the airship opened fire, they knew they were careless. A large number of shells poured towards them. The dozen or so Griffin Knights who did not have time to react in the front were hit at the first time.
Although these cannons are not as powerful as pneumatic cannons, they are also very powerful. The griffins, which were not strong enough but were large in size, were beaten into sieves on the spot. Some of the knights on them were killed on the spot, while some were not dead yet. However, the griffins died and they could only fall down. There was no parachute at such a height, and falling down would be a sure death.
"Damn it, everyone disperse and rush. Go to the back, those airships can't attack the back."
The leader saw the weakness of his opponent in just the first attack. The surrounding griffin knights dispersed instantly, and everyone was holding their breath. In the past ten years, the number of losses of the griffin knights has not been as much as this time.
However, Orna and Milia ignored their thoughts. The gun barrels continued to attack, chasing the griffins and firing a large number of shells. Many griffin knights were chased and became more and more panicked.
Soon, two more griffin knights and their mounts flew in the air, and the shells decomposed and fell into pieces. With this opportunity, the others finally approached these airships.
"Dare to kill my brother, die." The knight leader swept the sword fiercely, and a fighting spirit slash suddenly burst out. This Dou Qi slash, with a strong flame power, instantly penetrated an airship in front of him.
That's right, it penetrated. Dou Qi slash directly shattered the armor and penetrated into the interior. But at the same time, the Knight Commander was also secretly surprised. He could only penetrate an airship with his full strength, instead of dismembering it. "Not good." Suddenly, the Knight Commander felt a huge danger, and quickly patted the griffin and turned around to run.
Just after escaping from this place, the pierced airship exploded, and flames filled the sky. A large amount of kerosene splashed out, dyeing the air red. A griffin knight who had just flown here was covered on the spot.
After a scream, there was a big fireball falling down in the air. "Damn it, don't get too close after breaking these things." The captain felt the heat on his face and could clearly sense it from such a distance.
If he hadn't run fast just now, he would be dead now. Even if his Dou Qi could protect himself, his griffin would definitely die. Falling from such a high place, even he couldn't survive.
Other griffin knights around also launched attacks. They all chopped the airship with their fighting spirit slashes, but unfortunately they were only at the bronze level, far inferior to their captain.
Various attacks could only leave scars on the airship at most, and could not break this hard shell at all, let alone penetrate the entire airship and explode. Moreover, after getting close, they had no way to dodge the airship's attacks.
"Attack the wings, the wings are their weakness." The griffin knights immediately changed their target and began to attack the wings. Sure enough, the wings are much more fragile than the body, and a fighting spirit slash can easily cut them off. It is not so easy for an airship without wings to move quickly or change direction.
Even Chi Nan, who was watching from below, couldn't help but frown. Is the airship powerful? Of course it is powerful. But the weakness is too obvious. If it can't gather in groups, an airship is really no match for a griffin knight.
It seems that the direction of development will also change in the future. But now there is no clue, so I can only continue like this.
At this time, the airships in the sky also changed their formation. They found that the griffin knights could go around to attack from behind, and they could not attack from behind. Even if the gun barrel groups were more flexible, they could not do it.
Orna said immediately: "Form a circle and face the outside together." Milia changed the formation immediately, turning the airship formation into a sphere, and all the gun barrels were aimed at the outside to attack.
Now, the griffin knights who wanted to go around had no way. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the captain, who had recovered a little, attacked again. Every time he attacked, he went all out, because only in this way could he destroy an airship. The other griffin knights kept attacking around the airship, but they just couldn't break through that hard shell.
There was no way, the diamond wood was one of the hardest bronze-level woods, and it was no worse than the weapons in their hands. They could damage such armor because they had fighting spirit.
If you want to destroy it, you have to attack one point repeatedly, and attack with all your strength several times. But those airships will not let them attack one point. The airship being approached cannot fight back on its own, but there are other airships around.
The attack power of the airship is far less than its own defense power, so the airship can attack recklessly. Even if the shells fall on other airships, as long as they do not attack the wings, there will be no harm.
However, those griffin knights are not good. Facing the attack of the airship, they must dodge. If they fail to dodge, they will be injured at the least and die on the spot at the worst. There are even griffin knights who were knocked out. If you get off your mount in such a place and cannot catch it in time, it will be a dead end.
The airship in the air is like a huge sphere, and the surrounding griffin knights fly around like a group of bees flying around the flowers, but the danger is imaginable.
On the ground, almost all the nobles' attention was attracted to the air, because the victory or defeat of this battle is related to the victory or defeat of the entire war. No matter who it is, they can't afford to lose. Once they lose, the consequences will be serious.
Even Chi Nan was attracted by the battle in the air and put down the battle on the ground.
