My Magic Age

The airship continued to sail southward, and the clouds gradually became thinner. Looking down from the deck of the airship, you can clearly see that a fresh green has sprouted on the vast land. The gray mountains and rivers are looming in the morning light and the fog. The undulating mountains from west to east are like the tail of a giant dragon, and the Menkou Mountain, which is several thousand meters high, is like a bone spur on the dragon's tail.

Many people heard the harsh hissing sound and ran out of the cabin one after another. They stood on the deck to explore what happened. The uneasy mood slowly grew among the crowd. The experienced travelers looked very solemn. They crowded on the side of the ship and looked at the source of the sound.

Although I have not received the kind of vision enhancement training that archers have, I have extraordinary vision, even better than some archer apprentices.

Looking towards the Gate Mountain on the left side of the ship, the clouds and mists that were carried by the wind reflected the dazzling sunlight in the stars, just like a flying fish flying through the endless sea. Its silver body flew through the sea of ​​clouds, and every time a pair of short flesh wings opened and closed, it would shoot forward like an arrow. Its speed was extremely fast, and wherever it passed, even the rolling sea of ​​clouds was cut into a straight line.

Originally, it was just in the sea of ​​clouds, with dots of light from time to time, but it expanded into a black dot in a moment, and then formed a straight silver thread, breaking through the clouds and flying towards us.

Just when I was secretly delighted that only one wind snake appeared in my vision, Captain McIntosh beside me exclaimed beside me. I followed his line of sight and a chill ran directly from my back to the top of my head. Within the range of my sight, dozens of silver threads broke through the clouds and rushed towards our airship. The silver dots were like silver fish jumping on the sparkling lake.

"It's too late, guys, push those guys in the warehouse onto the deck!" Captain McIntosh stood by the railing of the captain's room and shouted loudly to the deck.

At this time, several crew members ran from the deck to the bottom of the captain's room at the stern. They opened a cellar-like hatch. There was a wooden triangular crane on the side. Two crew members pulled the rope on the crane and extended the pulley hook on the crane into the cabin. The crew members were very skilled.

Almost before waiting too long, someone shouted loudly below: "Okay, pull it up, guys! Be careful, this is a big guy!"

I looked at the crew members with quick hands and feet curiously. They used the crane to slowly pull out a huge thing covered with a gray raincoat from the hatch.

A crew member standing on the high mast lookout shouted loudly to the people below: "They are coming, guys, hurry up!"

"Captain McIntosh, maybe I can help a little!" Seeing the silhouettes of the group of wind snakes becoming clearer and clearer in my vision, I took out the thorium long-barreled shotgun from my magic waist bag, held it in my hand, and said to Captain McIntosh.

"Master Jijia, thank you very much for being willing to stand up and help everyone when the airship is in trouble." Although Captain McIntosh said this, his eyes were still full of worry.

At this time, one after another huge monsters were pulled out of the cabin by the crew, and then the crew took out the suggested wooden tracks and laid them on the deck of the ship's wife. These huge monsters were placed on the tracks. With the jerky friction sound of "creaking", the huge monsters wrapped in smocks were pushed to the edge of the ship's side. The seemingly useless round holes on the deck just happened to become the installation holes for the fixed brackets.

Then, two crew members were responsible for lifting the thick oilcloth raincoat to reveal the well-maintained crossbow inside. The crossbow had a thick bowstring made of raw beef tendons. The crossbow arrows over two meters long were placed on the racks on both sides of the crossbow. The crew hung the bowstring made of raw beef tendons on the back of the bow and tightened the bowstring on the crossbow with a noose. In a blink of an eye, three crossbows were installed on the deck of the airship, and the bowstrings were successfully installed.

In the chaos, the minotaur Luka climbed out of the tent in the corner of the deck, with a confused look, standing in the panic and looking for me. When he saw me standing leisurely in the captain's room at the stern, his mood became stable and he made a gesture to me that he was ready to fight at any time.

"Kom, go and take out the magic boxes hidden in the bottom of the cabin!" Captain McIntosh said to his second mate at this time.

"Yes, Captain!" A young man who looked very young stood out from the crowd and saluted Captain McIntosh in the captain's room.

During this period, the wind snakes in the distance were closer to us. I could clearly see the silver scales on their bodies, the white eyelids wrapped around their eyes, the triangular snake heads, the round bodies, the not-so-big flesh wings, and the whole body was wrapped in wind circles. Each wind snake was about three meters long.

There should be more than twenty wind snakes in this group. In a blink of an eye, they had flown hundreds of meters away. Finally, this group of wind snakes appeared in people's sight. When they saw such a large group of flying snakes flying towards the airship, a low exclamation came from the deck. Obviously, many people knew this kind of magic beast.

"Wind snake, my God, it's a wind snake!"

In the chaotic crowd, some people knew this ferocious magic beast. These wind-type magic beasts are good at speed attacks. Some adult elite wind snakes also have the "wind blade" skill. They are good at dodging, tracking, and reconnaissance.

Captain McIntosh stood on the high captain's cabin, holding the railing with both hands, standing upright, and shouted loudly to the crowd on the deck: "Dear passengers, please be quiet. Please be quiet."

His hoarse voice was so penetrating that it almost resounded throughout the entire hundred-meter-long deck.

When the deck seemed a little calmer, Captain McIntosh continued: "Please maintain order and let my crew push the defensive weapons to the predetermined position. I guarantee that the McIntosh airship will provide you with the most secure safety measures." , all our crew members will do their best to ensure the safety of everyone’s lives and property!”

The deck fell silent for a moment, but then someone began to make questioning sounds.

Captain McIntosh adjusted his captain's clothes, straightened the tie at the collar, then coughed lightly and said: "I am Captain McIntosh, please stay calm. During the battle, the airship will produce Violent shaking is very dangerous on the deck. Please return to your cabin. Please don’t stay on the deck!”

Obviously, the passengers on the deck did not buy Captain McIntosh's arrangement. Everyone crowded on the deck and started talking about it.

Although the wind snake in the distance is getting closer and closer, the people on the deck seem to have forgotten the dangers in the outside world, and instead emphasize that they have absolute freedom!

Someone even stood up from the crowd, pointed at the bridge of Captain McIntosh's nose and said, "You'd better forget it. Those rebels are not over yet, and now they've been attacked by wind snakes. You're unlucky!" Captain, you are an unlucky man who has been cursed by the gods. Why do you want to be an airship captain and lead us all to death? It is simply unforgivable!"

Captain McIntosh ignored the young man standing on the barrel questioning him.

He spread his hands flat on his chest and continued to say calmly to the passengers below: "Everyone, we need a large number of professional archers and shield warriors. If you have ever served as a defensive warrior in the army, or stayed in the archer camp, However, I sincerely ask you to join our team."

His eyes scanned the crowd below. Under his gaze, those who had been chattering just shrank back, while some of the people who were watching quietly had expressions of thinking on their faces.

Captain McIntosh raised his fist high and passionately incited the passengers below: "We will fight these wind snakes to the end, so we need real warriors, those who have the courage to fight."

I couldn't help but secretly sigh that the old captain McIntosh had tried his best to keep the whole ship alive. At this time, I couldn't help but respect this old captain who respected life, and secretly put his hands in his hands. He gripped his long-barreled shotgun tighter, leaning against the side of the ship. The sailors in Yuan paid no attention to what was happening on the deck. Under the leadership of the first mate, they used a noose to pull the bow string of the bed crossbow. The three-meter-long crossbow arrows with thick arms have been installed, and the bed crossbowmen are Perform final angle calibration and wind speed calculations.

The old captain McIntosh saw that many people were hesitant, so he drew another pie. He said: "At the same time, I believe this is also a very rare opportunity. With so many second-level monsters, I guarantee that I will harvest a lot of magic." Material."

Hearing that the airship would distribute all the spoils equally, a low voice of excitement came from the crowd, and the enthusiasm of the crowd was suddenly ignited.

At this moment, the old captain didn't understand that we should strike while the iron is hot. Captain McIntosh promised: "I also promise that the entire crew of the McIntosh will not embezzle any piece of Warcraft material, even a small wind snake bone. "

At this time, I saw the clever second mate, the young man Colm, standing in the crowd and asked: "Mr. Captain, can those wind snakes that the crew hunted with crossbows be included in the list of rewards? "

I finally knew that the old captain had said so much just to wait for this moment to come.

Sure enough, the passengers on the airship were very shameless about this young man's shameless question, and everyone cast disdainful glances at Kom.

But there was a subtle change on everyone's face, that is, a little bit of hope and greed. In the face of this upcoming danger, and after experiencing the aftermath of the rebels' hijacking of the airship, the greedy side of human nature became even more It was completely revealed that although many people were not ashamed to ask Kom, they secretly began to have new expectations in their hearts.

Old Captain McIntosh acted as if he and Colm were strangers. I secretly admired in my heart: You guys are really good at acting!

The old captain made an impassioned speech: "I promise that all the wind snake materials hunted will be distributed to everyone here. Of course, we will treat them differently according to how much they contributed in the battle. We will also use this batch Warcraft materials to make up for the losses you suffered on the airship!"

There was some commotion among the crowd on the deck again. In the hearts of everyone on the deck, their impression of the old captain gradually changed a lot.

Captain McIntosh paused for a moment, and his voice became slightly deeper and hoarse. He said: "As for me, Captain McIntosh on this airship, I will accept the Imperial Capital after I arrive there." I will bear my share of the tribunal’s trial!”

"And now..."

"We need archers! Come join us."

"Shield Warrior, come to us. Our mission is to ensure that the archers are not attacked by the wind snakes!"

In this cold spring season, a scorching flame burned on the deck. Women and children hid in the cabin one after another, while the men stayed. Everyone picked up the bent weapons left by the rebels. The knives were arranged in a neat formation on the deck, just like the most basic square formation in a military camp. The outermost row is shield warriors holding various styles of shields and scimitars, the second row is weapon warriors holding spears of different lengths and colors, and inside is a combination of swordsmen and archers.

Seeing everyone skillfully arranging formations, I had a special thought for the first time, that is, the Green Empire's system of universal military service is not without any benefits!

Finally, the moment that belongs to me comes.

Those thin lines in the spiritual sea once again connected me with the wind snakes flying in the sky. This means that those wind snakes have entered the hunting range of my Thorium shotgun. In Captain McIntosh's surprised gaze, a ball of flame rose up in my palm, and then quickly disappeared on the barrel of the Thorium shotgun, and the six-pointed star formation at my feet also gathered and dispersed.

‘Fire Tongue Weapon’

I put the blessing on the barrel of the shotgun, broke off the barrel, put a bullet engraved with the simplest 'Wind Control Array' into the barrel of the shotgun, closed the barrel of the shotgun, and I stood on the deck. Holding the shotgun flat, when the dotted line in my eyes connected the muzzle of the shotgun with the head of a wind snake, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

'Bang'

There was a gunshot.

Then there were three rapid sounds of crossbow arrows, "swish", "swish" and "swish", and the entire deck trembled.

The bed crossbow and shotgun launched the first wave of attacks on the wind snake group at almost the same moment.

The archers on the deck could only place their arrows on the bowstrings. In a tense atmosphere, they waited for the wind snakes to quickly approach, but the wind snakes had not yet entered their shooting range.

The three giant crossbow arrows emitted a harsh hissing sound after tearing through the air, and there were constant "crackling" air explosions in the air. The arrows of the crossbow arrows had a layer of naked-eye technology air shields, and the tails of the arrows carried a huge The air flow spurted towards the group of wind snakes.
