In naval warfare, the main task of ordinary air units is not to attack the sailors on deck, but to wait for an opportunity to break the sails of enemy ships. The power source of a sail is the sail, and if the canvas is severely damaged, it will affect the speed of the ship, and the ship that loses speed is more likely to be hit by shells.

The Pegasus Knights, with their excellent training, formed a three-tiered neat queue in the air. They change formations and climb up together as if they were one and occupy a high position. When they were about to reach the sky above the Blackfire Fleet, the forty-two Pegasus knights dived downward in three waves, the Pegasus half-folded their wings and tried their best to reduce their blocking and increase their speed, and the elven knights on horseback drew their scimitars, and he skillfully controlled the angle of Pegasus' dive, wanting to cut the rigging and sails on the sails in the most comfortable position.

It is not easy for air units to break the sails, and the rigging and cables around the mast are intertwined like cobwebs over the entire ship deck, which is very dangerous for air units coming at high speed. Because once hooked by these ropes, the momentum is enough to pull a Pegasus rider in two.

And the sailors of the ship did not allow the enemy's air units to destroy their sails, the arrows were already fired by the archers, and the spearmen climbed along the net ropes to the mast. But the real stoppers of the Pegasus Knights are the griffons who are already in the fight.

The griffons that had been flying around the perimeter of the mast had already spotted the enemy from high in the sky, and if it weren't for the orders of the royal griffin knights, it is estimated that these unruly creatures would have rushed to meet them. The approach of the Pegasus Riders made the griffons' emotions begin to become high-pitched, and they chirped loudly, louder than the last.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

When the falling Pegasus riders reached a certain height, the Pegasus spread its wings and began to level out with the help of the wind, and at this point their speed exceeded their base speed, and they struck towards the sails of the "Skeleton Soldier" at the height of the top of the mast. This three-masted battleship flying the flagship flag is the enemy's strongest warship, and as long as it is immobile at sea, there will be no suspense in this war.

Shu Xiao, who kept his duty firmly in mind, began to command the griffins to attack, and the thirty griffons did not stop in the flight path of the Pegasus Knight, which would only be easily broken through by the Pegasus Knight flying at high speed. All the griffons under her leadership suddenly climbed and then fell rapidly. The griffons swooped down diagonally, and if the Pegasus riders continued to stick to their flight path, they would be pounced on by the griffons from top to bottom.

Do you continue to attack the masts of enemy ships with heavy losses, or do you dodge first and then wait for an opportunity to attack?

In the absence of certainty that the task can be accomplished, the first priority is to preserve oneself as the norm of air combat. The Pegasus Knights would lose air supremacy in this naval battle if they lost too much, which was far more serious than depriving the enemy's flagship. Because each battleship had a certain reserve of repair materials on board, there were spare sails and rigging. The sails are broken, and it only takes them a little time to regain power, and if the Pegasus Knight is dead, there is nowhere to replace.

The pros and cons made the Pegasus Knights not hesitate, and they diverged to the left and right before the griffons flew down, one team continued to wait for an opportunity to attack the sails of the enemy flagship, and the other team pounced on the other four brigs.

Shu Xiao also divided her forces to deal with the change in Pegasus Knight's tactics, and now that the fleet was sailing at full speed, in order to have an advantage in the next battle, she could not let any of the battleships fall behind because of the broken sails.

The archers shot their arrows into the air at speed, the Pegasus knights and griffons competed in their flying and tactical skills, the First Fleet maintained full speed, while the troop fleet ahead continued to increase speed and slow formation.

The Pegasus and griffons flew rapidly, and suddenly a Pegasus knight, who seemed to be blessed by the "attack acceleration" magic, suddenly rushed into the griffon's protective circle, he dodged the archer's arrows with his superb riding skills, and then slashed at the cable that dragged the upper mainsail with a single swing. But a royal griffin knight rushed to his side just in time.

A thud from the knight's sword caused the Pegasus knight to crash into the cable he was about to cut. The force of the force sent the Pegasus Knight into a "coma" and tumbled from the air, bouncing back and forth between the canvas and the rigging before falling uncontrollably towards the deck.

At this time, a spell shot out of the hands of a silver Pegasus knight, "healing" the fallen Pegasus knight to his senses, and at the same time making his almost bottoming out blood begin to rise.

The Pegasus Knight controls his Pegasus to return to flying position just as it is about to touch the deck, and then slashes down a close lancer. But the royal griffin knight who flew down with him struck him in the chest with a sword.

The health that had just risen was emptied in an instant, and the Pegasus Knight was planted headlong on the deck.

The first result of the air battle was won by his own Royal Griffin Knight, and the "Skeleton Soldier" was cheered.

And Shu Xiao, who opened the record, also held the knight's sword high, and while meeting the call of the Terran soldiers, he controlled the royal griffin to tap on the deck, and then flew up quickly, and then a magic shot hit Shu Xiao's position just now.

Shu Xiao, who deftly dodged a magic attack, playfully gave a knightly salute to Sidney on the bridge, and then pulled the royal griffin and flew straight up.

With such a powerful royal griffin knight, Sidney's heart that had been carried by the Pegasus Knight was completely relaxed, and seeing that his sails were unbreakable under the protection of the griffin, he looked at the sea again.

At this time, the troop carrier fleet was still speeding up and in formation, and under the guidance of their flagship, two brigs had entered combat positions, and two more were sailing towards their positions, but the five battleships of the First Fleet had already rushed diagonally.

"Attention, the gunners report on your situation!"

The "Skeleton Soldier" has three gun decks, twenty guns on one side, and three gun commanders are responsible for the shelling command of each layer of guns. On Sidney's orders, the three gun commanders immediately checked the readiness of each gun, as well as the view outside the gun door.

"The port side guns on the upper deck are ready!"

"The mid-deck port guns are ready!"

"The guns on the port side of the lower deck are ready!"

The captains of the other four brigs reported to Sidney on the readiness of their guns, and by this time the First Fleet had approached within a kilometer of the troop fleet.

"All artillery is on standby, no unauthorized artillery attacks are allowed!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Sidney's order had just been given, and the warships of the troop transport fleet had already preemptively opened fire on the First Fleet.
