Path of light

Chapter 568 569. Defeat

"Adjust... prepare... fire!"

When the thirty-six magic crossbow arrows fell from the sky again, the sneers on the faces of the gray dwarf bandits standing on the deck gradually decreased.

Because they suddenly realized that the height of these magic airships was beyond the reach of their crossbows...

Few of the magic crossbow arrows in this round could hit the three-masted sailing ship, but the accuracy of the crossbows on the magic airships was constantly improving, and Roy had no intention of saving any, and the third round of volleys almost followed.

This time Roy asked the half-blood elf warriors to change to explosive crossbow arrows, and crossbow arrows began to explode on the three-masted sailing ship of the gray dwarf bandits. The flames instantly ignited the sails on the ship. The gray dwarf bandits quickly lowered the sails and kept pouring water on the fire.

Some of the gray dwarf bandits standing on the deck even pointed at the magic airship floating in the sky and shouted angrily:

"Who can tell me what that thing in the sky is..."

The core manufacturing technology of the floating device and propulsion device on the magic airship is basically in the hands of the dwarves. The gray dwarf bandits certainly know about the magic airship, but they also know that the proud elves are very averse to this kind of goblin technology.

Now that nine magic airships suddenly appeared in the elven army, the gray dwarf bandits' sailing fleet could not launch an effective counterattack, which meant that before withdrawing from this naval battle, the sailing fleet could only be in a passive state of being beaten.

The gray dwarf bandits standing on the deck were full of despair, and some gray dwarf captains tried to drive the ship away...

But these three-masted sailing ships were extremely tightly packed together, and the bows were all facing the direction of Io Island. If they wanted to disperse, they could only let some sailing ships approach Io Island and make some space. Only then could the three-masted sailing ships disperse.

What the gray dwarf bandits had never expected was that the magic crossbows in the air were like free, and they kept shooting at the three-masted sailing ships...

Many three-masted sailing ships were on fire, and the hulls of some three-masted sailing ships were pierced by crossbows, and seawater kept pouring in from the bottom of the ships...

Some knight officers of the fifth and sixth Silver Pegasus Knights rode silver Pegasus and landed on the decks of the magic airships, while other silver Pegasus knights surrounded the nine magic airships.

These silver Pegasus knight officers knew Miss Christine, and after listening to her introduction, they figured out that this fleet of magic airships was transferred from the Partington plane by Earl Swinburne, and the half-blood elf warriors on the ship belonged to the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard.

Many Silver Moon Elf officers had never even heard of Roy's name...

...

The Silver Moon Elf warriors on Io Island stood on the edge of the cliff, watching nine magic airships fall from the clouds, and then the magic airships continued to shoot crossbows...

These crossbows set a lot of three-masted sailing ships on fire, and the gray dwarf bandits could only jump anxiously on the deck.

Many gray dwarf bandits on the deck were injured by the magic crossbows thrown down. Even if they were wearing full-cover heavy armor, they would still be burned by the flames in the explosion range of the explosive crossbows.

What made the gray dwarf bandits feel the most terrified was that the ship-borne crossbows on these magic airships continuously shot magic crossbows.

These magic crossbows fell on the three-masted sailing ships, not pursuing the ultimate lethality at all, but pursuing to destroy the three-masted sailing ships as much as possible...

The gray dwarf bandits realized that they could not stay where they were and not move to be beaten, and immediately controlled the three-masted sailing ships to disperse everywhere.

It's just that their actions were a little late. The magic airship has never stopped since the first round of magic crossbow arrows were fired.

The Silver Moon Elf Warriors stood on the cliff of Io Island, excitedly raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

...

The gray dwarf bandits also have magic airships, but these magic airships have never appeared in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

The reason is very simple. The gray dwarf bandits have no way to control the air supremacy of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

As long as they dare to drive the magic airship into the airspace of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, they will be ruthlessly attacked by the Silver Pegasus Legion. These magic airships can only fly quickly in the wind flow layer. Once they leave the wind flow layer, their flying speed is comparable to that of a snail. They float in the air and can only passively take a beating when facing the Silver Pegasus Knights...

Moreover, these magic airships have the most fatal weakness, that is, the floating device is very fragile. At least twelve floating devices must be installed on the left and right sides of a magic airship.

It was also very simple to destroy his floating devices. There were various runes on the floating devices. As long as a feather arrow hit the floating device and destroyed some of the runes on it, it was possible to stop the floating device from operating.

As long as more than four floating devices failed or were damaged, the magic airship would be at risk of falling from a high altitude...

That's why the gray dwarf bandits didn't dare to drive the magic airship into the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

...

More than a hundred three-masted sailing ships, at least half of them were completely left in the waters around Io Island because of Roy's magic crossbow bombardment.

The remaining three-masted sailing ships that broke out also knew how far they could run.

Although the Silver Pegasus Knights did not have the ability to fight the three-masted sailing ships head-on, if they were asked to chase the gray dwarf bandits on the sea, these Silver Pegasus Knights could even drive the gray dwarf bandits to the territory of the tribal orcs.

In just one naval battle, Roy directly emptied all the magic crossbows on the magic airship. Even the wooden box containing the magic crossbows was thrown directly into the sea by Roy.

The gray dwarf bandits fled Io Island in three-masted sailing ships. In the process, sailing ships continued to sink into the sea.

The gray dwarf robbers on the sunken ship jumped into the rough sea one after another. The dwarf robbers were pretty good at water. They just had to take off the barrel helmets on their heads and the heavy armor on their bodies before falling into the water. Otherwise, if these gray dwarf robbers fell into the sea , will quickly sink into the dark depths of the ocean within a few seconds...

The gray dwarf bandits decisively abandoned some seriously damaged three-masted sailing ships, and some gray dwarves who fell into the water even began to wait for the rescue of the Silver Moon elves at sea.

…

Due to the sudden appearance of the magic airship, the defeat of the gray dwarf bandit fleet was determined.

The local Silver Moon Elf fleet waiting at the exit of Sheephorn Fjord began to move slowly towards Io Island.

An hour ago, Viscount Felek was still very painfully thinking that he might die for the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom in this naval battle...

He stood on the deck, cursing Count Stas hundreds of times in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that this was a naval battle that was destined to lead to death... Before it even started, the group of gray dwarf bandits were defeated by the air fleet of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

This strong feeling of surviving a disaster made his legs weak and he slumped down on the deck.

The wounds on his body that were pulled out with cane whips have not healed. Every time he moves too much, he will feel intense pain...

But Viscount Feilek still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He raised the flag in his hand and ordered the captain of the medium-sized sailboat to sail into Io Island at full speed.

Earl Macaulay, who was also on the ship, looked at the fleet in the sky in surprise, and couldn't help asking the adjutant standing next to him:

"Where did those fleets come from? Did you get the message?"

"I just received news from Count Swinburne that those magic sailboats belong to the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guards in the Partington plane. Count Swinburne has transferred the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guards here. The mine guards have magic airships, and they are only one step slower than the messenger." The adjutant followed behind Count Macaulay and responded in a low voice.

"The Mine Guards? The mixed-blood elf guard group formed by the half-elf boy named 'Roy'?" Count Macaulay asked with a frown.

"That's him!" the adjutant nodded repeatedly.

"A few days ago, Buenos City was still discussing his persecution of a descendant of a Silver Moon Elf noble. Recently, Brad and Captain Craven went to the Pagisto Plateau to rob It seems that they really shouldn’t have rushed to the Pagisto Plateau. Is that guy Kempfred blind? "

Count Macaulay stood on the ship's roof and couldn't help but cursed.

After cursing a few words, he felt the medium-sized sailboat under his feet began to sail towards Io Island, and said to the adjutant:

"Let's go and see what else we can get on the battlefield. It seems that these three-masted sailing ships of the gray dwarf bandits still have obvious advantages compared with medium-sized sailing ships."

…

Roy's magic airship did not fall into the sea to clean the battlefield. After clearing all the magic crossbows on the airship, Roy let the magic airship float at a safer height.

The medium-sized sailboat sailing from the Sheephorn Fjord quickly sailed into this sea area, and the Silver Moon elves used their nets to catch the gray dwarf bandits floating on the sea.

Some gray dwarf bandits realized that the situation was not good, and immediately plunged into the sea, preparing to escape with their excellent water skills.

Miss Christine mounted the Silver Pegasus and flew directly to Io Island.

"Boss Roy, why don't we go down and get some loot?" The half-blood elf captain responsible for driving this magic airship couldn't help but ask.

Roy shook his head and said with a smile:

"No need! Someone will hand over what is ours. Even if we get what is not ours, we have to hand it over later..."
