These knights riding phantom beasts are called phantom beast knights.

Phantom Beast Knights can be called the main force in the air, and they are usually served by magic archers.

The so-called magic archer, in fact, is a magic archer, with a certain spell-casting ability, can be regarded as half a mage, and at the same time has a very strong archery skill, can release a variety of magic arrows.

The magic arrows released by the magic archers do not require physical arrows, and have different attributes such as ice, fire, electricity, etc., which are not only highly accurate, but also very lethal, which can be regarded as a very powerful long-range means.

But the most powerful thing is the alchemy magic arrows they carry with them, there are only dozens of them in total, and each of them can allow them to release spells beyond the level.

Most of the Phantom Beast Knights are only at the bronze level, and the best of them can reach the level of silver.

After using the alchemy magic arrow, they can easily unleash powerful silver-level or even gold-level spells, and the attack distance can reach thousands of meters away.

Therefore, these Phantom Beast Knights are almost equivalent to long-range heavy gunners, and once they attack at any cost, their lethality is no less than that of 200 mm caliber heavy guns.

It's just that alchemy magic arrows are expensive, and these guys are easily reluctant to release them.

Especially when it comes to dog-headed aluminum bats, they are reluctant to use them unless they have to.

Because although the dog-headed aluminum bat is powerful, it is only a bronze-level class, and it would be a waste to let them use this kind of consumable alchemy props above the silver level to kill these bronze troops.

But alas, things on the battlefield are ever-changing, and often do not depend on their will.

The dog-headed aluminum bat may not be their opponent alone, but the numerical advantage of the people is too great, and it is easy to surround them when they are dispatched.

In this case, even if they are reluctant, the Phantom Beast Knights can only use the precious alchemy magic arrows to open the way.

Not to mention, these powerful consumables really brought them to Emperor Shi Tian, a lot of casualties.

Fortunately, the dog-headed aluminum bat has a lot of protection spells on its body, plus the sword qi to protect the body, it can also resist the power of the spell to some extent, so they are basically injured more and die less.

And after being seriously injured, dog-headed aluminum bats can often be treated by friendly forces.

Those intact dog-headed aluminum bats will automatically catch their flightless and seriously injured companions and send them to the rear for treatment.

This greatly reduces the loss of aluminium bats.

But no matter what, the other party's phantom beast knight still brought a lot of trouble to Emperor Shitian.

After seeing this scene, Emperor Shi Tian couldn't help but pat his forehead lightly, and said with some regret, "Damn, I forgot to wear an air-to-air missile for the dog-headed aluminum bat!"

In fact, this matter is no wonder to Emperor Shitian.

Because after the birth of the dog-headed aluminum bat, it has strong combat effectiveness, can throw bombs, and can also spray thermite to burn people.

Later, they also had the Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword, which could manipulate the weight of metal, which greatly increased their transportation capacity, and also had additional stealth abilities.

This makes the Doghead Aluminum Bat a very powerful aerial unit, especially good at stealth air strikes.

Relying on the sheer numbers, once the dog-headed aluminum bats fly overhead with countless aerial bombs, then it means that the enemy's nightmare has arrived.

Aerial bombs rained down like a torrential downpour, and basically no ground troops could withstand it.

Therefore, the dog-headed aluminum bat has always been defined as an air attack unit on the ground, and at most it is just an occasional cameo appearance in the reconnaissance force.

In addition, the dog-headed aluminum bat actually has anti-air capabilities, whether it is a flying sword or thermite, it can deal a heavy blow to the flight troops.

And Emperor Shi Tian has encountered many enemies along the way, but he has really never encountered such a huge aerial battle as today.

In the past, the opponent did not have such a large and powerful air force, so the dog-headed aluminum bat could completely rely on its absolute numerical superiority to crush the enemy's small air force, so Emperor Shi Tian did not think of air-to-air missiles at all.

But today, the army of dog-headed aluminum bats finally met their opponents, and the phantom beast knights, who were more numerous, also killed overwhelmingly, and in addition to ordinary long-range attack methods, they were also able to release strong large-scale spells through alchemy arrows, causing a lot of casualties to the dog-headed aluminum bats.

Whether it is the flying sword of the dog-headed aluminum bat or the thermite, the killing distance is relatively limited, and it is only a few hundred meters to die.

However, the spells shot by people using bows and arrows often have a range of more than two or three thousand meters, and they are also range attacks, which naturally suppresses the army of dog-headed aluminum bats.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Shi Tian had a large number of other powerful air forces on his side, such as the Centaur Ji who was constantly radiating missiles, as well as a large number of flying modules, necromantic airships, etc., I am afraid that the dog-headed aluminum bat army would have been defeated by the other party a long time ago.

And this situation also reminded Emperor Shi Tian that it was time to develop the emptiest disposable weapon for the dog-headed aluminum bat.

There is no doubt that air-to-air missiles are the best choice, with a long range and continuous fire, especially with a locking function, which can ensure accurate hitting the target.

Once it can be equipped on a large scale, then the practicability of the dog-headed aluminum bat unit will be greatly increased, especially when fighting against a large number of air forces, it is guaranteed to be like a fish in water.

It can be imagined that as soon as the two sides approached, the dog-headed aluminum bat released air-to-air missiles like dark clouds, which could blow up the opponent's air force in an instant.

At least you can hit the opponent hard, then you can easily kill the opponent in hand-to-hand combat.

After thinking of this, Emperor Shi Tian immediately issued an order to let the scientific research institutions in the rear officially start developing air-to-air missiles, requiring a range of more than twenty or thirty kilometers as far as possible, and with its own locking function, it can track flying targets.

As for the power, the bigger the better, but the defense of air targets is generally weak, so the power is almost enough, and it is not to be pursued excessively.

The most important thing is that they can refer to the missiles that Centaur Ji brings.

Speaking of Centaur Ji, it's really easy to use.

For example, on the current battlefield, there are active centaurs everywhere, their silver-white gorgeous bodies, scurrying back and forth in the sky, while running, they launch missiles from their backs, and automatically fly to the flying troops in the distance, sure to be one at a time.

It was precisely because of these fierce firepower that Emperor Shitian's air force did not collapse.

As long as there is a tight place, a large number of centaur will be teleported over, and then they release missiles together, which can often form a large number of barrages, directly killing and injuring hundreds of enemy troops.

Don't look at the majesty of the Phantom Beast Knight, but after facing the Venerable Horse Queen, it is really helpless.

First of all, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of range, the Phantom Beast Knight's alchemy arrow is only two or three kilometers away, but the Centaur Ji's missile can easily fly 50 kilometers away.

And the number of missiles carried by Centaur Ji is also large, God knows how many missiles are stored in the space in their bodies, anyway, it is definitely four figures.

The most important thing is that Centaur Ji has a high status on the side of Emperor Shitian, and she also takes care of production activities such as metal processing.

This allows them to easily obtain large amounts of metal, which they can then use their special abilities to craft into missiles and store them.

And these stored missiles are in the internal space of the Void Dragon, as long as the Centaur Ji runs out of missiles outside, they can return to the internal space of the Void Dragon to replenish it.

With so many supplies, the Centaur Queens are also crazy, and wherever they go, they are hit by a bunch of missiles.

When hundreds or thousands of iron pipes roared through the sky, the phantom beast knights who had suffered losses in a row were so frightened that they couldn't even care about charging, and they often scattered and fled.

Although the Phantom Beast Knights after scattering are easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the dog-headed aluminum bats.

But it's better than eating thousands of missiles, and then you will almost be beaten and the whole army will be annihilated.

Although a large number of Phantom Beast Riders will still be hit by auto-tracking missiles after dodging, they can still escape a small percentage after all.

In short, although the number of centaur is not particularly large, but in this air battle, they play a pivotal role, it is their elusive attacks everywhere, so that the kobold aluminum bat force is not destroyed by the large number of phantom beast knights.

Especially in the direction of the Phantom Beast Knight's main attack, Centaur Ji used tens of thousands of missiles to teach them how to be human, which greatly reduced the pressure on other friendly forces.

It's a pity that the gold and silver can't be dispatched at this time, because they belong to the army and don't have any ability to fly.

In addition, their size is too large to get into the small cabin, so in this battle, these two powerful troops can't help at all, so they can only sit on the cold bench silently.

After giving the order to study air-to-air missiles, Emperor Shi Tian suddenly remembered one more thing, that is, the construction of cannon fodder in the air.

On the ground, Emperor Shi Tian already had countless Yellow Turban wrestlers made by the Scattered Beans into soldiers, who could charge ahead, attract the enemy's main firepower, and instead cover the follow-up large troops, so that the elite troops in the hands of Emperor Shi Tian could minimize losses.

But in the air, Emperor Shi Tian had no cannon fodder troops, so he could only let the dog-headed aluminum bat forcibly go on top, which led to a large casualty of the dog-headed aluminum bat.

Anyway, as soon as Emperor Shi Tian saw the dog-headed aluminum bat that fell like rain on the battlefield, he felt a heartache.

In such a huge battle, no matter how well the protection is, the dog-headed aluminum bat will inevitably have hundreds of thousands, or even millions of casualties, and this number is still soaring, which makes Emperor Shi Tian feel a burst of worry.
