When this rather heavy airship slowly approached the mountain road outside Xituo City, everyone in the Sifang Mercenary Group was shocked speechless by the scene in front of them. Now they understand why Qiao Zhi looked like that when she came back. Now looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, I found that Qiao Zhi was already quite determined.
Various flags spread from the provincial road at the foot of the mountain to the city gate at the top of the mountain. Looking at this posture, there were twenty or thirty mercenary groups crowded on the mountain road. This five-step wide mountain path is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it can even be said that you are pushing me and not giving in. On the top of the city wall, there were loud shouts of killing. There were already piles of corpses half a man high at the corner of the wall. The mercenaries behind were still rushing to the top of the city to kill them.
Since the mountain road is narrow and steep, there is no need for siege vehicles. The only means of siege for these Tingxiao mercenaries is to set up ladders. Except for those martial artists with high cultivation who have jumped to the top of the city and fought with the soldiers guarding the city, those martial arts with average strength or wearing heavy armor can only climb these ladders to climb the towering city wall. In this case, the defenders had an absolute advantage. Hot oil, falling rocks, and defenders' crossbows could easily neutralize the Tingxiao people's offensive.
The magicians in the back row like Ting Xiao were floating far in the air, but they did not dare to approach the walls of Xituo City to cast magic. Because these crossbowmen on the city top who had been trained by Prince Resa were all extremely powerful, many magicians who tried to cast spells would be killed by arrows under the hail of arrows. After several rounds of arrow rain, the magicians of the Tingxiao Mercenary Group were all frightened and did not dare to enter the shooting range of these crossbowmen.
Even though these mighty mercenary groups have not yet made any achievements, this kind of succession has indeed made the five thousand defenders of Xituo City increasingly confused and worried.
Anyone will have this emotion when facing an endless enemy.
At this time, the two leaders of the Quartet mercenary group on the airship were still very calm.
"Why do I feel like these Tingxiao people seem to be so numerous, but they can't play any role in this narrow mountain road." Ai looked at Lai Wu beside him and said.
"Yes, actually only a few people can participate in the battle, and the others are just watching from behind." Laiwu nodded, looking coldly at the battle situation at the top of the city.
"You're not going to take these hundreds of people to fight those tens of thousands, are you?" Chen Zhu asked Lai Wu in a low voice. His face was still very pale even though he had not yet recovered from his injuries. When he saw the crowds of people on the mountain road, his face became even paler, and he had completely lost his original "black pig" attitude.
"What are you afraid of? I won't lead everyone to die." Lai Wu smiled and patted Chen Zhu on the shoulder.
"It's exciting..." Kaiba sighed as he looked at this overwhelming scene.
In the battle with Qu Yu, Kaiba and Chen Zhu were the most seriously injured. Originally, Lai Wu meant that they should take a rest and not participate in this battle. However, as soon as the two men got on the airship, they complained that the wind was too noisy. I couldn't sleep, and now that I was standing on the deck and saw tens of thousands of Tingxiao people hovering on the mountain road, I guess I couldn't sleep even more.
"Don't be afraid, just drive directly over this mountain road." Alvin walked straight to the steering wheel in the center of the airship and said to the little girl Kui Qing who was steering the boat with a slight smile. Originally, the little girl was really frightened when she saw so many people, and her face turned pale. But when she saw Alvin smiling freely, she felt calm and nodded heavily.
The airship got closer and closer to these Tingxiao people, and it was naturally discovered.
Many of the Tingxiao mercenary group on this mountain road had seen the skyboat of the Tianxing mercenary group, and they were a little puzzled. They thought that Zhuo Feng didn't think there were too many people here, so he led the people to Haladi City in the south. Now, why are you back?
After taking a closer look at the waving flag on the airship with a platinum lion's head tattooed on it, he realized that Chu Feng had already lost everything in Haldi, and the airship had been occupied by the Yafei people.
The Maine garrison who had been fighting fiercely all day and night on the city wall immediately boosted their morale and fighting spirit when they saw the platinum lion's head flag. For these soldiers who cling to the siege, they don't actually care about the number of reinforcements coming. What they care about is whether they have been given up by those who live in the temple.
Of course, Lai Wu and Alvin's original intention was not to save the besieged city, they were more inclined to prove themselves.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
After discovering that the airship was now in the hands of the Yafei people, the Tingxiao mercenaries crowded together on the mountain road began to be on guard. Many crossbowmen have already loaded their bows, and the arrows seem to be eager to withdraw.
"Get your crossbows ready!" Lai Wu ordered loudly. Originally there were more than 20 crossbowmen in the mercenary group, but after the last battle of Haldi, a lot of crossbows were collected. Laiwu didn't care whether these martial arts were good at longbows or not, anyway, everyone was equipped with one.
"All magicians, stand up and prepare to take action!" Alvin also ordered.
As soon as the airship entered the shooting range of those Tingxiao mercenaries, there were clanging sounds from the armor at the bottom, which was the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the armor.
"Let go!" Lai Wu ordered, and a hail of arrows came back from the airship.
"Quick, throw magic into the crowd!" Alvin roared, the staff in his hand glowed with purple light, and a rain of flames spread towards the narrow mountain road.
This kind of dense crowd is simply the output environment that magicians dream of. Any large-scale killing magic can hurt enough opponents. The level of magic power only determines the damage caused by these magics. There were more than 150 magicians in this empty boat, and they fired magic together, causing large-scale destruction in an instant.
For a time, mourning people were everywhere on the mountain road, screaming in pain.
Alvin looked carefully. This round of arrow rain and magic killed three or four thousand Tingxiao mercenaries. This was much more efficient than close combat. You have to know how many people died after the three mercenary groups in Haldi fought for so long that day.
Some quick-reacting Tingxiao mercenaries saw that the momentum was not good, so they turned around and ran down the mountain. As a result, the entire mountain road, starting from the mountainside, was in chaos. People squeezing from the foot of the mountain up the mountain don't know what's going on in front of them, but they still keep their heads sharp and push forward. The people in front were running back, and the people behind were pushing forward. The two streams of people collided, and another tragic accident occurred. Countless people were trampled under their feet, and before they could scream, their ribs pierced their lungs. , died immediately.
Of course, there were some masters among these Tingxiao mercenaries. They immediately saw that the airship was the key to causing damage, so they jumped up and killed them on the deck. To have such a figure, one's martial arts cultivation is definitely extraordinary. You must know that the airship is now seven or eight feet away from the ground.
The dozen or so masters flying up disrupted Lai Wu's plan. He couldn't care less, so he picked up his sword and killed them, shouting: "Xia Ye, hurry up, get the airship on board first." Killed a few bastards."
"Okay." Xia Ye reacted very quickly and led the martial arts masters in the mercenary group to surround him.
Chen Zhu and Kaiba were seriously injured and their wounds had only just healed, so they had to stand aside and watch.
"Nangyun, don't stop using the magic in your hands, and don't let anyone jump on you again!" Alvin shouted to Langyun who was directing the magicians, but he immediately protected Aoi's side. .
He knew clearly that the most critical position on the airship was the steering wheel. Once an accident occurred here, everyone on the airship would suffer.
These dozen Tingxiao martial arts masters have profound cultivation. Although they are not as good as monsters like Yu Yu Chen, they are all as strong as Xia Ye. Lai Wu was originally injured and his combat power was damaged. Alvin was still guarding Kui Qing and couldn't get away. For a while, the encirclement and suppression of these Tingxiao people on the airship fell into a disadvantage.
As expected, as Alvin expected, these Tingxiao people rushed directly towards Kui Qing as soon as they broke the siege. Alvin did not hesitate and greeted him with a flash of magic in his hand.
He was one against three, and he didn't dare to get too far away from Kui Qing. Once they started fighting, he was almost being chased and beaten. It would be really hard for a magician to find three martial artists to fight hand-to-hand. Even if he could use the Sky Splitter to create distance, the space on the deck was too cramped, and he could catch up with him in just a few steps.
Moreover, during this confrontation, Alvin discovered that these powerful martial artists were probably not mercenaries, but rather leaders of several mercenary groups. If you take a closer look at the equipment of these people, you will see that they are all expensive and high-quality soft armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are products polished from copper ore, but they are not cheap goods.
Now Alvin was groaning inwardly. In fact, his own injuries were not completely healed. The main reason was that his magic power was excessively consumed in the battle with Ai Yu, and he had not fully recovered after a night's rest. He thought he could wake up energetic like at the Pillow Sword Club, but he never imagined that a life-and-death fight would consume more physical energy and magic power than he imagined.
Just as Alvin was struggling with the three people around him, another agile martial artist came out and stabbed Kui Qing directly in the chest with his sword in the air. This sword really frightened the little girl so much that she forgot to dodge for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and her body just stood there in a daze.
Alvin's staff moved horizontally, and two loops of purple lightning surrounded them. The three people moved together, and the loop lightning hit two of them. The shocking effect in the lightning immediately shocked the two of them. Dizziness.
But Alvin himself was also stabbed by a third person, and his left arm was directly pierced. He groaned, and he couldn't help but think too much, and he flashed in front of Kui.
With a "ding" sound, the sword struck the light shield in the air. Alvin gasped, thinking that he was finally saved.
"Brother Alvin, are you... okay?" Kui Qing asked worriedly, looking at the wound on Alvin's left arm.
Alvin didn't have time to answer her now. He lowered his head and glanced at his wound. The whole cuff was bleeding, and he complained in his heart: "Is this little girl stupid? She looks like she is quite serious."
The three people just now didn't give him a chance to breathe, and immediately surrounded him.
Alvin looked over at Laiwu. Although there were many people here, they did not cause any damage. The remaining martial arts masters from Tingxiao could handle this kind of siege with ease.
"Some people come to my place. Are you all blind?" Alvin withdrew his light shield and shouted to Lai Wu and Xia Ye.
Kaiba and Chen Zhu have been brothers for more than ten years after all. Seeing Alvin being beaten by a group, they immediately came to help, regardless of their injuries. However, as the two men jogged, the pallor on their faces became more obvious. Obviously, these four Tingxiao people also saw the clues. They glanced at each other and immediately attacked the three of Alvin.
When Lai Wu saw the fierce fighting at the helm, he quickly glanced at the experts from the surrounding mercenary groups. These people immediately understood, stepped forward, and jumped into the melee at Alvin's place.
However, these four Tingxiao people were also extremely cunning and did not bother with Kaiba and the others at all. They tried their best to kill Kui Qing.
Alvin did not dare to neglect and always protected Kui Qing.
"Brother Alvin, why don't we run?" the little girl looked at him and asked softly.
Alvin didn't reply to her, and pointed at the rudder and the series of control levers around him. The meaning is very simple. If the helmsman escapes, your driving system will be destroyed. What will the empty boat do?
Only then did little girl Kui Qing realize that this open-air cockpit design had such big drawbacks.
In fact, it was really okay if Kui Qing ran away. Because after these two days of stealing, Alvin already knew how to pilot this airship. It's just that now he can't spare his hands to protect Kui Qing and run away.
As Alvin expected, when the four Tingxiao people saw him protecting Kui Qing, they changed their mind and started destroying the cockpit. Naturally, Alvin would not grant their wishes, and greeted the extended hands with a burst of magic.
With Alvin at the helm, the situation at the helm is considered stable.
However, when the deck was locked in a fierce battle, the Tingxiao mercenaries on the mountain road began to think of ways to climb onto the deck despite the magic along the way. These mercenaries first jumped onto the armor at the bottom of the airship, and then climbed up from the bottom of the ship through the finger-wide gap between the decks. Langyun didn't have any good solution for these Tingxiao people who were hiding in the blind spot under the ship. As a result, there were more and more Tingxiao masters on the deck.
Seeing more and more people boarding the airship, some brave Tingxiao magicians began to use the levitation technique to fly as high as the airship and cast magic on the deck. Some magicians on the deck who were still casting spells below did not notice and were directly knocked off the ship.
"Lord Alvin, pull it up, pull it up quickly!" Lang Yun saw that more and more magicians on his side had fallen into a fight with the Tingxiao magicians outside the airship, and anxiously moved towards Al Wen here shouted.
Alvin reacted immediately and manipulated the gear lever at hand to start raising the height of the airship.
As soon as the magic bombing on the airship was interrupted, the Tingxiao mercenaries on the mountain road began to gather.
It had already far exceeded the limited load capacity, but now with the weight of these Tingxiao people, it was too difficult to lift the airship, and Alvin couldn't even feel the speed of the lift.
Although it seems quite heroic to sail an airship above tens of thousands of people, it does not treat the people of Tingxiao as human beings. Alvin now began to regret making this bold decision with Lai Wu.
Just as Alvin frowned and looked at the increasingly uncontrollable situation on the airship, something even more distressing happened to him.
With a "boom" sound, the entire airship shook, and everyone on the deck staggered for a moment.
"What's this noise? Why is the airship completely motionless?" Alvin was surprised. He flew to the fence and took a look. He was so angry at the damn Tingxiao people in front of him.
It turned out that some Tingxiao mercenaries who had not climbed onto the deck had an ulterior motive. They drove rivets into the finger-thick seams between the decks, and then tied one end of the hemp rope around the tops of the rivets. The mercenaries on the mountain road all grabbed the other end of the hemp rope, and they were dragging the airborne tower downwards.
The lift was originally slow, but now there are so many people pulling it down. The blast furnace under the airship air bag is already emitting black smoke. It is obvious that the boiler can no longer bear such high-intensity work.
The rosewood hull also creaked due to the dozens of rivets.
If it were Alvin in the past, he would have rushed to the outside of the ship and thrown these Tingxiao people who were full of tricks one by one. However, he always felt like he couldn't hold a breath today, and his body was more tired than usual. After using the Sky Splitter a few times, he was out of breath. After using the light shield just now, he actually felt the magic power in his body. Not much left.
He could only watch helplessly as the airship trembled and descended, even though he was still holding the raised gear lever tightly in his hand, there was nothing he could do.
If this empty boat was pulled to the ground, wouldn't the tens of thousands of people on the mountain road eat hundreds of them in an instant? Alvin felt a trance in his heart when he thought of this.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
And just when Alvin was in despair, a ray of light shot out from the window of the captain's room behind him, and then the golden light flourished. Even the clear sky at the moment cannot cover up the brilliance penetrating in this room.
Everyone fighting on the deck blinked for a moment and looked at the stern of the ship in surprise, wondering what was happening there.
With a "bang" sound, the glass of the window exploded, and the window frame immediately separated from the ship's hull and was submerged into the airflow above Xituo City.
For a moment, everyone forgot what they were doing and wanted to see what was going on at the stern of the ship.
But he saw a woman with white hair and golden eyes walking out of the room. The fluttering snowy hair still had sporadic maroon at the ends, and there was an unconcealable coldness and chill in her golden eyes. The woman's voluptuous and graceful figure was wrapped in a loose mage's robe. Her chest rose and fell as she gasped softly, causing everyone on the deck to sway in their hearts.
Alvin looked at the thin red marks on the woman's arms and thought that there would be no chance that Kaiba's gilded rune rope would be used to tie up the girl again.
The little girl Kui Qing stared at this woman in amazement. After crossing the mountains, she sighed that she had never seen such a beautiful woman in the north and south. This graceful and luxurious woman who looked down on all living beings, this elegant and innocent woman who did not eat fireworks, made her a little girl. Girls all yearn for it.
She thought about it carefully and wondered secretly, could this woman be the chestnut-haired man?
Then she glanced at Alvin, and subconsciously began to feel sad secretly.
If Alvin knew that the little girl was so rich in her heart at such a moment of life and death, he would have gone crazy on the spot.
The white-haired woman's slender feet were light and she landed next to Alvin. She looked at him carefully, and a teasing smile came to her lips, "We'll settle the bill later?"
Alvin looked at the provocation revealed in the golden eyes and knew that her body and magic power had completely recovered. He smiled bitterly and said: "When these tens of thousands of Tingxiao people are slaughtered, you can kill or behead them. It's up to you. "
"Okay." She responded softly, with a cold expression on her face, and escaped into the air alone.
Just then she saw the long silver staff in her hand unfolded, and thunder came down from the sky. The dozen Tingxiao magicians floating in the air were chopped into "scorched people" before they could react.
Onian pointed his finger, and those sky thunders came directly towards the Tingxiao people on the deck. These Tingxiao masters who were showing off their power just now were stunned by the shock in the blink of an eye. Lai Wu and Xia Ye quickly led everyone to "send" these Tingxiao people who had lost their combat effectiveness off the airship.
Of course, there were still a few thunderbolts that struck towards Alvin for no apparent reason. Fortunately, he still had some energy left and managed to escape with a few rolls.
"This is to avenge me for tying her up..." He raised his head and looked at the sky and sighed, "It was sunny just now, but soon there was a thunderbolt. I really can't afford to offend these powerful women."
However, he also talks about it with his mouth, but his body is very dishonest.
While Alvin was sighing, meteorites covering the sky fell from the sky. Streams of light streaking through the dark sky broke through the dark sky. Alvin looked at the overwhelming array of meteorites, as if it was the end of the world, and he was horrified, "Oh my god, are you trying to scare people to death?"
"All magicians, raise your magic shields!" Alvin reacted quickly and shouted at the deck.
The remaining dozens of magicians worked together to build a spherical magic shield above the airship, allowing the airship to survive.
The Tingxiao people on the mountain road are not so lucky. This does not just refer to the Tingxiao people on the mountain road below the empty boat, but all the Tingxiao people on the entire mountain.
Because this devastating meteorite array covered the entire mountain and even spread to the provincial road at the foot of the mountain. The Maine defenders on the city wall were so shocked when they saw this formation that they put up huge shields, fearing that the meteorite would affect the city wall.
"Boom, boom..." the sound was heard endlessly, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the rocks were shocking. The sound seemed to be smashing the mountain under Xituo City.
Standing on the airship, he could feel the mountain shaking violently. In an instant, the mountain road was destroyed by meteorites, because it was no longer possible to tell which was the mountain road and which was the hillside. There are craters with thick smoke everywhere. In fact, even the ridges and valleys can no longer be distinguished. Many of the convex slopes have been flattened.
Everyone on the airship stared blankly at the woman with flying white hair in the air. They couldn't believe the scene in front of them. It turned out that a magician's energy could be so earth-shattering.
After this round of offensive that shocked the world, most of the Tingxiao people on the mountain road were killed or injured, with at least 10,000 people lost. Except for a few lucky ones, those who hid under the layers of corpses escaped this disaster.
"It's true... Even if there are thousands of people, I'll be there." Alvin was stunned for a while, looked up at the stunning figure with white hair and golden eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, is that...Princess Onian?" Someone on the deck asked in a low voice.
