There were two teams of flying knights. The team on the left was chasing a star beetle, and the other team had two chasing them.
These huge star beetles currently look intimidating. If the flying knights don't want them to catch up, they will never be able to catch up.
However, the Flying Knights were now defending the airspace, and running away was not an option. They were now willing to be chased, just to gain the dual advantages of height and speed.
The Flying Knights do not line up in a straight line in the air, but form a herringbone formation. This formation is the most suitable aerial formation to unleash the power of the weapons equipped by the Flying Knights.
Although the flying knights rarely have the opportunity to fight in the air, the magical ant flying knights have all received air combat training and will not panic for the first time.
If it were the former male ant flying knight who did not like to fight in person under the influence of Flying Eagle, one can imagine his combat effectiveness.
In the team of flying knights on the left, all flying knights closely follow the flying knight at the front. She is the captain of the team. When they cannot communicate with each other in the air, her movements are instructions, and other flying knights must follow them unconditionally. imitate.
The flying knights lifted the reins upwards with force, and the uneasy fly mounts, whose balance rods were pulled upwards, flapped their wings at high speed and suddenly rose up, without sparing any physical strength.
The leaf-cutter ant warriors on the Star Beetle watched the flying knights of the God's Envoy King's army quickly rise up and fly farther and farther.
Just when the leaf-cutting ants could barely see their target and were about to give up the pursuit, the flying knights in the distance began to turn.
On the Star Beetle, there is a commander of female leafcutter ants - male ants are not qualified to board the Star Beetle. The female ant has better eyesight. When other leaf-cutting ants can't see the distant threat clearly, she has already seen it, and then hurriedly prepares her subordinates for battle.
The star beetle is invincible in the air. Female leafcutter ants firmly believe this. The holy beast gifted by God, the star beetle, is the national war beast of the leafcutter ant country. Its status is similar to that of the ant lion in the red fire ant country, but its function is different. Even better.
The leaf-cutting ant female seems to have seen the scene where the star beetle rushes into the group of enemy "flies" who dare to turn around and kills them. What can those flies without big jaws and spikes do to fight the holy beast of the star beetle! ! !
The flying knights quickly tell the leafcutter ants what they want to fight with.
The flying knights controlled the flies to fly towards the star beetle, and the two sides were hedging and hedging like medieval knights. However, it seemed that one side was a war elephant and the other side was really like ten puppies. There seemed to be a huge gap.
The star beetle has no long-range attack means, and neither do the leaf-cutter ant warriors on its back. They just focus on its head and neck, responsible for controlling the star beetle's flight direction and covering its back.
Close, close, incredibly close.
The moment it was about to collide, the beetle's jaws opened, ready to bite the fly directly opposite it in the next second.
Jaws, bite!
The female leafcutter ant was shocked to find that the fast-closing jaws of the holy beast of the star beetle were empty, and only made a clear and futile collision sound.
She looked up and saw a dozen scarlet sparks falling towards her.
The flying knights pulled the reins the moment they almost collided with the star beetle. The fly mounts, with extremely fast nerve reactions, brushed the star beetle's body, made two sharp turns of almost ninety degrees, and flew to the star. On the head of the beetle.
At the same time, the flying knights bit their jaws lightly, piercing the fire bomb slings that were already in their mouths, then raised their joints and swung the rope to throw the fire bomb.
With the help of gravity and inertia, the ten self-igniting fire bombs were like a net, covering the nearby star beetle.
The beetle seemed to have crashed into this net by itself. Seven fire bombs stuck to it, and only three of them either missed or were interfered by the flapping of the beetle's wings.
In an instant, the star beetle felt an extremely stinging burning sensation all over its body. The sticky molten ant glue on the fire bomb made it impossible to get rid of it like a maggot attached to the bone, causing it to simmer. The power of the charcoal burns the target without reservation.
The star beetle spun and fell to the ground. Several holes had been burned out of its thin wings. It looked like it would be unable to fly even if it survived.
The leaf-cutting ants on the back of the star beetle were even worse. A fire bomb fell between them, instantly scalding several warriors who were close to death. When the star beetle falls, the remaining leafcutter ants are also thrown out. After they landed, they were surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers of the God's Envoy King who came after hearing the news.
After this group of flying knights neatly eliminated the chasing beetles, they immediately flew to the other side for support.
The team over there was pursued by two beetles at the same time. The two star beetles cooperated with each other, one high and one low. This team could never find the most suitable time to drop the bomb, and the two bombings failed to achieve any results.
Instead, without paying attention, a flying knight was hit by the wings of a star beetle. Both the flying knight and his mount were stunned by the high-speed vibrating wings. They landed staggeringly and could only wait for the rescue of ground troops.
When support arrived, the two teams each attracted a star beetle.
The left-wing detachment that had just achieved victory continued to injure the star beetle with bombs, and the star beetle fled to the rear in pain.
On the other side, the right-wing Flying Knight squad ran out of bombs and had no choice but to take out their spears and try to avoid the jaws of the star beetle. They sprinted directly above the star beetle's wings and directly killed the leaf-cutting ants on the back of the star beetle. .
After a fierce battle, two teams of flying knights destroyed all the leaf-cutting ants at the cost of two deaths and one injury, forcing the star beetle that lost its driver to land. The ground troops captured it and transported it away.
The brief but fierce air battle ended. This was the first time that the Angel King's army had an air battle with an opponent with air power.
In an air battle, the mounts of both sides are crucial. The flying knights' fly mounts are fast and agile. They can easily have height and speed advantages and seize the initiative in the air battle.
However, the Star Bull has thick armor and sharp jaws, and the flying knights can easily be killed if they are not careful.
The battle between the two sides was like a biplane fighter plane besieging a huge Zeppelin with anti-aircraft firepower all over its body. Generally speaking, the flying knights had the advantage.
However, later that day, when the leaf-cutting ant army that had completely wiped out the north of [Hematite City] began to move south, and hundreds of star beetles flew in, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, those who had already arrived at [Hematite City] The protagonist decisively made the flying knights abandon the sky and huddle within the protective net of [Hematite City].
There are so many star beetles, and the three flying knight squads with only 146 riders (previously, 4 riders were killed or injured) can no longer compete.
Fortunately, [Hematite City] has a protective net, as well as ballistae and newly delivered iron cannons to assist in air defense.
After the two star beetles were injured, the leafcutter ant's air force gave up the idea of directly attacking [Red Iron City] and waited patiently for the ground troops to arrive.
