In the middle of the Emerald Ocean, the former glorious capital of the Hasima Empire has been reduced to ruins. On the sea to the west of the wasteland, the two fleets that arrived here for the first time are engaged in a desperate battle.
Starwind Fleet, on the deck of the warship, a griffin knight flew into the sky carrying a bomb.
Due to the huge size of the griffon and its forward-leaning head, the air cavalry on its back cannot use the cluster guerrilla gun equipped with shadow bombs to conduct melee attacks. The shadow flames generated when the gun tip explodes will affect the griffon.
Therefore, when performing complex combat missions of high difficulty, the air cavalry will be equipped with long lightweight lances and guard waist knives. Once they are shot down, or when they are in close contact with the enemy in the air, they can cooperate with the sharp claws of the griffon. Combat.
At this moment, hundreds of gryphon knights formed an orderly air formation, and each gryphon knight was spread out as much as possible to avoid possible long-range firepower from the enemy.
In front of the Griffin Air Cavalry formation, Murazeer and Tia stood in the air holding holy swords. The silver dragon Baiyue waved its giant wings, and the scales on their bodies exuded a cold brilliance under the sunlight.
Li Ran, dressed in black robes, was riding on the back of the giant dragon Salina, looking at the floating city in the distance.
A large number of magic towers have been built on the floating city. This fixed tower-style building can launch powerful magic arrows. Because it consumes a lot of energy and cannot be moved, it is generally only used as a fixed defense node for large cities.
But at this moment, these magic towers have become movable killer weapons.
Another issue that worried Li Ran was that the range of the magic tower was originally about the same as that of a ballista. In a conventional war, no one would have the advantage.
But now these magic towers are built on the floating city, and when launched from a high position, they can get a huge range bonus.
This makes Li Ran must sink the floating city before it threatens the Starwind Fleet. Otherwise, facing the intensive spell bombing from the sky, the thirty Blizzard-class battleships in the fleet will be quickly destroyed.
At Li Ran's call, Felix, the commander of the Griffin Air Cavalry, left the queue and came to him.
"Lord Li Ran!"
"Felix," Li Ran looked at the young commander, "The floating city has strong firepower and strong self-defense capabilities. Please lead the gryphon bombing force to destroy the enemy's fleet first, and then join forces with us. Attack the floating city everywhere."
Felix said with a determined face: "I promise to complete the mission!"
"Next, let me talk about the details of the battle," Li Ran continued, "I will lead the high-level warriors to directly attack the main body of the floating city and disperse the firepower of the magic tower. You should use this opportunity to get close to the enemy's fleet, but be careful. , the battle mage group on the deck should not be underestimated. Their long-range cluster magic is powerful. You must pay attention to the flight path and strategic tactics of the air strike. You are an expert in this aspect. You have proven your ability in the Wolf Principality. I hope this For once you guys were still able to perform well.”
Felix said excitedly: "Understood, Lord Li Ran! The boys were not idle during the fleet voyage, and have been conducting targeted flight and combat training. We were originally worried that the skills we had worked so hard to hone would not be put to use. Today is the day Useful place!"
Li Ran was very satisfied with the high morale of the air cavalry troops, but he kept a straight face and reminded sternly: "This is the first time we have faced attacks from floating cities and enemy ships at the same time. Don't underestimate the enemy. In this round of attack, you must shoulder the responsibility of command and let the air cavalry give priority to ensuring their own survival and not to sacrifice their lives in vain. Even if the first round of air strikes fails, we will have time to withdraw and prepare for the next wave of attacks."
Felix said with a serious expression: "Please rest assured, I will definitely implement your request!"
boom!
Several rays of lightning flew from the floating city and suddenly landed on the Blizzard-class battleship at the front. One of the main masts was cut off at the waist and scorched black. The explosive ballistae mounted on one side of the ship and the deck below erupted. In the dazzling fire, several ballista operators screamed and fell down. Their lives and deaths were unknown. The remaining crew members and soldiers immediately stepped forward to put out the fire and rescue the injured.
Li Ran's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately turned his head to look at the floating city, and found those seventh-order titans shining with electric light on the shooting tower.
Titans are powerful humanoid constructs. They are magical miracles created by the wizards of the Silver City State. Their entire bodies are made of rare precious metals and magic materials, and require a large amount of star silver. They look like a blue demon bound by Silver armored warrior.
Titans are not good at melee combat, but they possess extremely powerful long-range attack capabilities, and their range far exceeds conventional spells and weapon trajectories.
At this time, at least five Titans were guarding the towers of the floating city, continuously throwing powerful lightning arrows at the Star Wind Fleet.
Li Ran's face immediately turned ugly.
Lou Feiyu actually prepared so many Titan troops, which evened Li Ran's original advantage in the number of champion-level creatures.
Li Ran immediately issued combat instructions.
"Murazel, Tia! Please launch a feint attack on the floating city from the left wing to attract the firepower of the magic tower!"
"Yes, Lord Li Ran!"
"Bai Yue, follow Selina closely, we have to break through the blockade of the magic tower and directly attack the Titans behind!"
The silver dragon roared: "Understood!"
"Felix," Li Ran said loudly, "The Griffin Air Cavalry troops take action immediately. We will attack in three directions at the same time. We must contain the enemy's ultra-long-range offensive!"
"Okay, Lord Li Ran!" Felix raised his lance and shouted to his comrades behind him, "Boys, let those weak mages feel the claws and anger of the gryphon! Charge with me!"
In the sky above the Starwind Fleet, vast aerial forces flew forward, officially starting the first wave of counterattack.
...
For countless viewers watching the battlefield on off-site screens and holographic images, this is a unique maritime war.
The fighting distance between the two sides was too far, beyond the limit range of the explosive ballistae and battle mage regiment.
But before the ships of both sides officially entered the conventional firing range, each other's air and space forces had their first round of confrontation.
First of all, the Lord of Star Wind sank a warship from the Illusion Sea through some unknown means.
Then the Titan troops on the floating city launched an ultra-long-range attack on the Starwind Fleet with lightning arrows, destroying many ship-borne ballistae and weakening the Starwind Fleet's long-range firepower.
Huan Hai was not in a hurry to use Titan to kill the soldiers on the enemy ship, but accurately hit the explosive ballistae on the deck.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Everyone clearly knows that the powerful long-range firepower delivery and killing capabilities demonstrated by the Starwind Fleet on the battlefield of the Wolf Principality come from the large number of ship-borne explosive ballistae.
If the Phantom Sea allows the Star Wind Fleet's ship-borne ballistae to come within a regular combat distance, it will most likely be crushed in terms of its ability to burst out firepower in a short period of time.
But as long as all these ballistae are destroyed before then, the Starwind Fleet will be like a gryphon with its claws cut off, and it will be defeated!
