Chapter 106: Counterattack

Da Liang rode a royal griffin down from the sky, and after healing Shu Xiao with magic, he used a "magic arrow" to force back the silver Pegasus knight hero who wanted to kill Shu Xiao.

Behind Da Liang, six griffons in good condition quickly rushed into the air to fight, their addition to replenish the defensive holes caused by the loss, and at the same time allowed the griffons who had been flying and fighting to retreat a little and regain their strength.

At this time, the "Black Fire" had already sailed to the starboard side of the "Skeleton Soldier", which was the outer part of the artillery battle, and the tall hull of the "Skeleton Soldier" provided cover for the slightly weaker defense of the merchant ship, so that it did not have to worry about being baptized by shells.

On the top floor of the stern of the five magic mages war "Blackfire", they threw magic into the air one by one at the Pegasus knights.

A round of magic attacks kills two more Pegasus Knights.

The addition of the new force drove the Pegasus Knights out of the sky above the Skeleton Soldier, and the battle reduced the number of Pegasus Knights to thirteen. They dragged their tired bodies towards their own warships, and the continuous flight and high-intensity combat made these Pegasus unbearable, and they urgently needed to rest and recover their strength, and the next battle was very difficult to fight.

Now the comparison of the number of air units on both sides has changed.

The number of griffins in the Black Fire Fleet is eighteen, and with the two Royal Griffin Knights Da Liang and Shu Xiao, the air power of the Black Fire Fleet faintly exceeds that of the troop escort fleet. It is impossible for the Pegasus Knight to continue to attack the sails of the Blackfire Fleet for the time being, but he still has to think about how to resist the griffon's attack on his own warship.

Now that the sails of the Skeleton Soldier are damaged, it will take a little time to raise the midmast again, and the convoy is squeezing in at full speed. Bumping gangsters is devastating for the Blackfire fleet, and destroying the sails of their flagship is the best way to stop the escort fleet from approaching.

The ship-to-ship artillery battle continued, and the sides of the exchange of fire had been shattered.

On the open deck of the Skeleton, five sailors climbed up the ladder that connected to the top of the middle mast, and they had to raise the sails as quickly as possible to allow the ship to go as fast as it should. Other sailors carried baskets of sea fish from the cabin, grabbed them and threw them into the air one by one. Before the fish could begin to fall, the hungry griffin had already flown up and swallowed it in one gulp.

The griffons began to eat, and Da Liang and Shu Xiao landed on the stern platform of the "Skeleton Soldier", looking at the opposing escort fleet approaching sideways while firing cannons.

A little farther out in the sea, two troop carriers were coming at full speed.

Da Liang said to Shu Xiao: "The speed of the troop carrier is slow, as long as it is not tied up by the opponent's warship, even if the 'Skeleton Soldier' is less sailing, they will not be able to catch up." The Brigs are inferior in size and height, and colliding with the Skeleton at close range will only break them up. Only their flagship three-masted battleship is a big threat, and the difficulty now is how to get it to slow down the ship, if you attack it with griffins, the opponent has Pegasus knights and elven archers, and we may not be able to achieve our goal if we all die. ”

Shu Xiao said: "It's not simple, use the magic of the fire system to burn their sails directly." Do you know how to attack magic with fire? ”

Da Liang himself didn't learn fire-based attack magic, but his new staff had its own magic "fireball", but he shook his head and said, "Breaking the sails is not as easy as you think. I've heard Sidney say that the sails and hulls of all ships are demon-resistant, and that fire magic can hardly damage them, and that only natural fire can effectively ignite the sails. ”

"Such a high fire magic resistance?"

"Of course, if the ship's fire magic resistance is not strong, the elven troop fleet would have set fire to our ship a long time ago."

"It's not going to be a good fight." Shu Xiao looked at the enemy warship and fell into deep thought, and his mind quickly thought about how to "assassinate" the sails of the enemy ship under heavy protection. A good bodyguard needs to have a very good ability to think backwards, and they need to always put themselves in the shoes of a killer to see if there are any loopholes in their security measures.

After a while, Shu Xiao said: "For us, the 'Skeleton Soldier' is a key point, if the 'Skeleton Soldier' has a problem, our battle will be very passive like this. But for the enemy fleet, the key point for them is actually the two troop carriers, and I think there are a large number of unicorns on those two troop carriers, which is why the enemy is eager to engage us in broadside battles. What if we don't attack their warships, but their troop carriers? ”

Da Liang followed Shu Xiao's train of thought and said, "If I attack their troop carrier from the air, these elves will definitely be very uncomfortable, and their Pegasus knights must go to the rescue." These Pegasus Knights will lose the protection of the ship's elven archers for a period of time when they are flying on the surface of the sea, if we destroy their Pegasus Knights......"

Shu Xiao said excitedly: "Yes! Eliminate their Pegasus knights, this is the real weakness of the enemy fleet, as long as we have absolute air supremacy, this battle can be fought as much as we want. But...... That Silver Pegasus Knight hero is very powerful, can the two of us beat him? And we can't let the griffons die with them. ”

Da Liang said: "It's man-made, anyway, we don't have a better way to break the situation." I'll leave all the griffons under your command, and I'll go back to the Blackfire to stop their troop carriers first, and you can follow them as soon as the griffons are full." ”

"Understood!" Shu Xiao looked at the griffins who were fighting for food during the flight and replied.

Da Liang rode back to the Blackfire on the Royal Griffin, and the three-masted merchant ship slowed down, and after the two fleets of the exchange of fire had passed, the bow of the ship turned over to the two troop transports.

Jumping off the royal griffin, Da Liang entered the bridge command position.

"All artillery into the gun position!"

The three-masted merchant ship had a total of 20 guns, three gun decks, and 10 on the left and right sides, concentrated in the belly of the ship. Since the "Black Fire" had to deal with two troop carriers this time, Da Liang knew that he had no experience in naval warfare, so he directly let all the guns be loaded with shells, so that the ship guns on both sides could be used randomly during the exchange of fire.

All the guns of the "Black Fire" entered the firing position, and the twenty guns on both sides stretched out of the gun doors, which looked a little hideous from a distance.

After the gunners reported that the cannon was in place, Da Liang looked up at the magicians on the stern tower and said, "Vincent, see the enemy Pegasus Knights, as soon as they come into your range, immediately attack them with status magic. ”

"Yes, sir!"
