The arrows in the quiver on Lova's back continued to be consumed, but the number of ice arrows following Sean's butt remained unchanged.
George, who had recovered a lot on the side, also joined in the shooting of the chase.
He gave up the giant sword but picked up the thieves' long crossbow. He originally wanted to use this weapon for an "air-to-ground" counterattack, but his crossbow arrows were used to deal with the "surface-to-air missiles" launched by the water element. There was no chance to fight back.
"It's just that the long crossbow is really easy to use!"
Similar to the crossbows on Earth, the long crossbows produced by the Kaos Empire are also composed of crossbow arms, bow bodies, bowstrings and crossbow mechanisms. George, who has been trained to fight with heavy weapons and light weapons on Earth, compared Compared with long and short bows, long crossbows, like manual rifles, are crosshair aiming and shooting weapons, and they are indeed more comfortable to use.
Except for the slow speed of manual loading, George couldn't find anything worth criticizing at all.
However, his "Arching Instructor" Lova next to him gave up after hearing this!
"George, you have to know that truly powerful archers will choose bows and arrows as weapons. Because only by pulling the string fully with one's own strength can the archer's ability and skill be more accurately conveyed through the arrows."
Lova stared at the ice arrows flying from behind and showed off her archery skills in various ways while talking to George distractedly.
"To put it bluntly, in our Alanon, such inferior equipment as the long crossbow can only be used as a toy for the enlightenment of archery for those elves who have not even grown their hair. Ah, not good!"
Lova, who was about to continue shooting, suddenly felt that her right hand that was holding the arrow was empty. This meant that all the arrows in the quiver behind her had been consumed!
Not only Lova, but George also encountered the same problem. The crossbow arrows he brought were originally few, and coupled with the rapid shooting, the crossbow arrows in the quiver were all used up in two or three shots.
However, behind them, three ice arrows were still attacking them relentlessly!
"Damn it! Sean, force the landing! Lova, get down!"
The gryphon leader folded his wings and fell rapidly. Sean naturally understood what George meant. It seemed that the three ice arrows could not be avoided. If it was hit in the air, its body would definitely lose its ability to fly due to the cold air. For them, when the time comes, high altitude The injuries caused by falling are bound to be more dangerous!
However, no matter how much Sean accelerated, he could not compare with the flying speed of the Ice Arrow. Seeing that the nearest ice arrow was about to catch up with Sean, George simply threw the long crossbow back with all his strength, and then went around behind Lova, trying to use his body to forcefully offset the ice arrow. The power of magic arrows.
"Well!"
The first ice arrow froze the long crossbow into ice shards, but its power remained intact and hit George directly in the back. The biting cold air from the Ice Arrow instantly invaded George's body. George felt his blood surge up and his throat felt sweet. Then, a large mouthful of cold blood spurted out from George's mouth and splashed on Lova's body.
"George, George! How are you? Don't scare me!"
Feeling the warmth of the blood dripping on her cheek, Lova completely panicked. The only thing she could think of was to move the breathless George in front of her, lay him down behind Sean, hug George from behind, and use her and Sean's shared body temperature to give George a cold hug. Body heat.
"It's so cold! Damn it, two commanders, prepare for an emergency landing and take anti-collision postures!"
In just such a short flight, George and others were less than a hundred meters above the ground. This meant that the deceleration distance that Sean could use was only so far, but the ice arrow behind his butt would not Also thinking about slowing down like it.
Sean had no time to think about why a cold touch suddenly appeared on his back. He now had to concentrate on sprinting towards the ground and slowing down before the ice arrow hit it.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...
When he was still twenty meters above the ground, Sean spread his wings and used his greatest strength to decelerate and stop!
The violent whirlwind caused by the waving wings suddenly reduced Sean's speed. However, the price of reducing his falling speed was that the two ice arrows behind him caught up with his speed by a large amount.
Twenty meters to go!
Sean took a sharp breath and once again fanned down with all his strength. Just as its wings were beating down, the last ice arrow hit its wings at the same time. In the blink of an eye, its wings were covered with a layer of frost!
"Bang!" Sean's last attempt to decelerate was not entirely successful. The group was thrown heavily from the air and rolled several times along the slope of the mountain before finally stopping.
…
A few miles away, a man wearing a tattered cloak walked out of the queue of elemental giants. He put away the telescope in his hand and waved to the sky. After a while, a golden falcon flew down. , stopped steadily on his shoulder.
"Lord Breeze, the mission has been completed. The opponent has fallen into the Vulcan Mountain. Please indicate the next target."
"Ivo, you can retreat." The words came out clearly from Falcon Breeze's mouth, but they seemed to be interfered by magic. Even someone as strong as Ivo couldn't hear clearly when he was so close. Is this voice male or female, let alone guessing who the owner of the voice is.
However, Ivo has this confidence. In the Elf Court, there are only a handful of people who surpass him in strength. Among these people, there is probably no one other than the Elf King himself who has the opportunity and thought to specifically attach a soul mark to the Elf King's pet.
Although this magical interference felt like there was no silver here, as a subordinate, Ivo was still very calm and pretended not to know about it and cooperated with the leader. After saluting the bird again, Ivo withdrew his elemental giant and disappeared into the forest. Falcon Breeze glanced in the direction of Vulcan Mountain, then flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the sky again in the blink of an eye.
