At the end of the distant horizon, three Hippogryphs were fleeing with all their might.
They flew up and down, tumbling and making all sorts of dodging movements.
Meanwhile, the elven archers on their backs were futilely drawing their bows and firing arrows at a massive metal warship that was chasing after them.
Unfortunately, the metal warship was flying high above the clouds. The arrows of the elven archers had only flown halfway before they were swept to the side by the strong wind outside the warship. The bottom of the metal warship opened up, revealing pitch-black cannon muzzles. Twenty to thirty bowl-sized purple energy rays were fired at once.
This level of energy rays could overturn the airspace within a radius of nearly a hundred meters each time, and any aerial steed within it would not be able to evade such a dense energy beam with their bodies.
Hence, under the horrified gazes of Hegus and Cydaris, two of the three Hippogryphs did not manage to escape in time, and were shot full of holes amidst their shrill cries. Their flesh and blood exploded into a bloody mist that filled the air. The elven archers on their backs did not manage to escape, and were destroyed along with them.
"It's that metal devil!" Cydaris roared, pulling out the elven warblade at his waist with a whoosh.
"Cydaris, don't be rash … Inform the warship to evacuate as soon as possible, I'll hold him back …" Hegus ordered his companion as quickly as possible. He patted the silver pegasus beneath him, and the silver pegasus that had been with him for more than ten years immediately flapped its wings, its four hooves flying as it tried its best to climb above the metal warship.
The terrifying cannons could be seen on both sides of the metal warship and at the bottom of the warship. It was a fool's dream to charge onto the deck under the bombardment of the cannons. That was why Hegus had given up on the opportunity to attack the other party directly from the start, and instead chose to climb higher in an attempt to find a suitable breakthrough point from the blind spots of the other party.
However, the metal warship was flying at an astonishing height, almost sticking close to the clouds as it flew. Wherever it went, the towering metal hull crushed the white clouds one after another, leaving behind an intermittent cloud path.
If Hegus wanted to find a breakthrough point from above, he would have to fly higher than the other party. For a silver pegasus that was active in the Illusory Forest all year round and only needed to cruise at an altitude of one to two hundred meters for a long time, the difficulty was simply too great.
But at this point, no one cared about this. Even Hegus was cheering the silver pegasus on as he quickly threw the javelins and arrows on its back into the air.
To lighten the silver pegasus' load, Hegus even removed the metal armor, allowing it to slide off his body. Apart of the javelins, of the three bags of arrows used for long-range attacks, Hegus had even thrown away two of them. The remaining bag still had thirty arrows, enough for him to attack to his heart's content after he boarded the metal warship.
As the Silver Pegasus continued to climb, their height gradually reached the same level as the metal warship. They could already clearly see the tall figures moving around on the warship's deck.
Damn it, the deck was filled with terrifying metal puppets. Their tall and mighty bodies shone with a dazzling metallic luster under the illumination of the blazing sun.
Moreover, the other party seemed to have noticed his actions. On the side of the ship near him, the metal puppets raised their metal arms horizontally, and terrifying black muzzles protruded from them.
What are they preparing to do? Are they preparing to launch a long-range attack? Don't most of the metal puppets only have close-range combat ability?
A series of strange thoughts rose from the bottom of Hegus' heart …
But before he could find the answer, the rows of metal puppets suddenly shot out a series of small black dots from their horizontally extended muzzles, attacking Hegus and the silver pegasus like a storm.
As a high-grade elven warrior, Hegus naturally had an enviable keen vision. Although the black dots were small and dense, Hegus could still see the truth of the black dots with his superhuman dynamic vision.
They were metal pellets the size of a fingernail. Under the stimulation of a powerful magical energy, they lined up in a row and shot towards him in an unstoppable manner.
A strong intuition of death struck Hegus' heart in an instant.
He suddenly flipped backward, his entire body flipping off the horse's back. As he fell rapidly, he waved the saber in his hand rapidly.
The silver pegasus, which was still struggling to climb into the sky a moment ago, was riddled with sieves by the dense pellets in the next moment. The blood that sprayed out immediately formed a bloody rain on the spot.
Most of the pellets were blocked by the larger silver pegasus, and more than half of the remaining pellets were blocked by Hegus' flying saber. But there were still many pellets that passed through the surging saber light and drilled into his body.
Hegus' vigorous and vigorous body shook violently in the air, and he was sent flying by the metal pellets. A large amount of blood mixed with torn flesh burst into a bloody mist in the air.
The metal pellets might not be large, but the kinetic energy they contained was abnormally large. If a pellet the size of a fingernail were to hit an ordinary person, it would directly pass through the body and leave a huge wound the size of a bowl on the body where it was shot.
And Hegus was worthy of being an elite elven knight. His physique and strength were far above that of an ordinary person, so his ability to resist attacks was also a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person.
Of the four pellets, one had pierced through his left shoulder, leaving a huge wound there; one had pierced through his right leg, almost bursting off half of his calf's flesh; one had brushed past his left abdomen, leaving a deep bloodstain; one had embedded itself into the lower part of his right chest, and most of the surrounding bones had already been broken and shattered …
With such a huge injury, an ordinary person would have long since died, but Hegus was still alive and falling rapidly from the sky. With his injuries and his current height, even if it was seawater below him, he would still be killed by the terrifying impact the moment he fell into the water.
A soft sound rang out.
The familiar sound of horse hooves suddenly rang in his ears.
Then, his body tightened. Hegus had already been caught by Cadaris, who had rushed over on his horse, successfully avoiding the disaster of falling to his death.
Holding his partner who had already turned into a bloody person with one hand, Cydaris' eyes were filled with tears as he urged the silver pegasus to move left and right with all his might, narrowly dodging the dozen or so rays that were shot down from the metal warship.
The metal warship high in the sky did not seem to care about the two silver pegasus knights at all. Seeing that they had not been killed after two rounds, it did not change course to continue chasing. Instead, the bow of the ship slightly changed direction, slowly pressing down on the two elven warships in the distance.
At this time, the elven warship was already in chaos. Under the loud shout of the elven commander, the warship turned around with difficulty, desperately fleeing in the direction of the Calan Continent in the distance. On top of the warship, there was a dense group of flying creatures that were rushing in the direction of the metal warship.
It was the over two hundred Flower Fairies that had gone out with the warship.
Although they were not large, there were quite a few of them and their claws were also covered in plant poison. Moreover, their flying speed was very fast, so they were very qualified to be the close range flying force of the elven warship.
But it was a pity that their wings were too weak. They had more than enough speed, but not enough power.
Therefore, when they soared to a height of around a hundred meters, they began to feel a bit tired.
Therefore, with a burst of concentrated fire from the metal warship in the sky, the aggressive group of Flower Fairies was immediately cut down by half. The remaining ones let out strange squeaking sounds before quickly scattering like birds and beasts.
Those Flower Fairies that turned around and wanted to return to the elven warship were quickly caught up by the giant warship in the sky and then destroyed. Only those Flower Fairies that were a bit more vigilant turned around and flew towards the vast sea, dodging the next round of concentrated fire.
After all, those floating on the sea could not outrun those flying in the sky!
After a quarter of an hour, the giant floating warship caught up to the two elven warships. After three rounds of concentrated fire, the two elven warships also sank to the bottom of the sea.
At this time, there were large amounts of ship wreckage and countless struggling elven warriors floating on the sea.
The giant floating warship did not seem to care about these weak elves at all. The giant warship adjusted once again, letting go of the attacks on the fallen elves and flying towards the Echo Islands.
There, in front of the fortress on the main island of the Echo Islands, the Dark Witches and Pale Witches drilled out of their strongholds and watched the 'massacre' taking place on the sea from afar!
"If we don't consider the consumption of magic crystals, this kind of metal fortress that can fly in the sky is indeed a powerful existence that all secondary planes can't match …" The Grade 3 Dark Witch Uxar could not help but nod in praise.
Although Alice only had Grade 1 strength, if she could contribute this giant floating warship, she would 'barely' have the strength to cooperate with a Grade 3 Witch like her.
This made Ulthar, who had some doubts about this cooperation, immediately smile from ear to ear.
Although the Destiny Witches had a lot of magic crystals and were even more extravagant in using the giant floating warship, in the end, they did not have anyone that could be used to hold the fort. Therefore, in this cooperation, he might even be able to take the lead in the operation and make Alice obedient to him!
The Grade 3 Pale Witch in charge of guarding this place did not directly show herself. Instead, she hid in the sturdy fortress and used her mental strength to silently investigate this strange giant floating warship.
When she first saw it, even she could not help but think that it was an airship that could only be used as a means of transportation in the Silver Alliance. However, when her mental strength slowly extended to the giant warship, it was immediately blocked by the strange energy field outside the warship.
Eh, an energy field?
The Grade 3 Pale Witch became bewildered once again.
Could it be that those Destiny Witches were already extravagant enough to add an energy field to such a huge warship? This … How many magic crystals did this cost them?
These Destiny Witches that could not be guessed …
