820: Chapter 261: Qin City Long-range Attack Legion (Part 2) 820: Chapter 261: Qin City Long-range Attack Legion (Part 2) Despite their throwing distance also reaching beyond 800 meters, their javelins did not have the fletching of arrows, which extended the attack range by lofting shots in an arc; their attack this round was aimed directly into the air.
Originally, upon sensing a threat to their most crucial Mage Corps, the airborne Pegasus Knights and Magic Eagle Knight Legions had immediately reacted.
A full twenty thousand-strong air force, with an unparalleled momentum, descended from the sky, heading straight for the direction of Qin City’s walls.
They believed that as long as they wiped out these archers, their mages would no longer face any threats.
However, Gerard, the Holy Pegasus Knight, had not municated with the Dragon Clan as before; if he had known what the Dragon Clan encountered after entering Qin City from above, he would never have rushed to give the order to attack from the air.
As the two airborne legions swooped down, the first to meet them were the javelins hurled by the Tree Spirit Druids.
The power of a javelin was inparable to that of ordinary arrows.
After all, hurling javelins was the unique ability of the Tree Spirit Druids, who ranked above the Horned Hawks solely because of this masterful technique.
Of course, the Pegasus Knights did not think these two thousand javelins would affect them much.
Their slender Dragon Spears thrust downward, using their formidable strength.
Green, cyan, blue, and even purple Douqi burst forth almost instantaneously from the knights on the backs of the Pegasus and Magic Eagles.
They did not allow their mounts to use magic, for only by focusing on their own strength could they achieve the fastest flight speed.
They aimed to deflect these two thousand javels based solely on their power.
Gerard, the Holy Pegasus Knight, calculated that these javelin-throwing races only had the capacity for a single round of attacks.
Once this round was blocked, the enemy’s end would e, and he had ample reason to believe that his side could pletely clear these obstacles on the city walls in the shortest time possible.
Even if the enemy still had those robust-looking Steel Puppets.
But the warriors from both the Pegasus and Magic Eagle Knight Groups had underestimated the abilities of the Tree Spirit Druids.
As Druids with only one form of attack, could their javelins be that simple?
The answer was no.
Spear after spear shattered in the face of the fierce Douqi, but their powerful impact nonetheless significantly slowed the descent of the Pegasus Knights and Magic Eagle Knights.
Then, something that surprised both groups of Faran knights happened.
Those shattered javelins released a layer of pale green gas, which spread at an astonishing rate.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the green gas released from the two thousand javelins had enveloped all the warriors of the two airborne Faran Knight Groups.
Poison gas?
This was Gerard’s first reaction as he roared out, his voice powered by his Ninth Rank Zi rank Douqi echoing across the battlefield, “Use Douqi to protect your body, beware of the poison gas.”
The quality of Faran’s knights was indeed terrifying.
At Gerard’s cry, they instinctively reacted and not only protected their bodies with Douqi but also shielded their mounts.
Unfortunately, this was their first encounter with the Tree Spirit Druids, and they knew far too little about this previously unseen race.
The pale green gas wasn’t poison at all.
As the faint green light spread rapidly, every Faran knight flying in the air felt their bodies and those of their mounts being slow.
Although both the Magic Eagles and Pegasus belonged to the rank seven Magical Beasts, they couldn’t be immune to the Tree Spirit Druids’ magic, which had a slugging effect.
The previously thunderous descent immediately stalled, and at that moment, they were less than five hundred meters away from the walls of Qin City.
Last time, after withstanding an attack by eight hundred adult giant dragons, Qin City had indeed achieved an overwhelming advantage.
However, afterward, Ye Yinzhu discussed the gains and losses of that battle with the top leaders of Qin City.
The Dragon Clan wasn’t Qin City’s strongest enemy; their most formidable foes came from Faran.
Faran’s knights did not have large bodies like the Dragon Clan.
The magic guide cannons could achieve great results with simple aiming.
Once the Faran knights were dispersed, the power of the magic guide cannons would be significantly weakened.
After identifying this issue, Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira, Anya, and others carefully studied the shortings of the magic guide cannons.
Every weapon has its strengths and weaknesses.
Their final goal in their research was to maximize the strengths of the magic guide cannons and minimize their weaknesses as much as possible.
Thus, today’s battle strategy emerged.
Oliveira had fully implemented Ye Yinzhu’s strategic ideas.
The attack speed of the magic guide cannons was very fast, but not absolute.
The closer you were to a magic guide cannon, the smaller the possibility of dodging, but you couldn’t be too close either, as that would cause the residual effects of the cannon’s attack to harm oneself.
After careful testing and calculation, the elders of Qin City discovered that the distance between five hundred meters and eight hundred meters was the optimal range for the magic guide cannons to exert their most terrifying power.
In Ye Yinzhu’s absence, Oliveira became the person in control of the overall situation.
When the Faran Army appeared, he started his calm analysis, and as the Faran Army began to attack, he also received Anya’s orders and began preparations.
The first target was undoubtedly the enemy mages, after all, Faran’s strongest were its mages, but at the same time, Qin City’s airspace also had to be defended.
Only in this way could the thick city walls serve their purpose.
From the moment he saw the Legions of Pegasus Knights and the Magic Eagle Knight Legion, Oliveira had begun his arrangements.
He could have allowed the Goblin Rippers to attack the sky, but he did not do so.
He was not sure whether the Goblin Rippers could inflict real damage on the enemy, and a failure would simply alert the enemy.
Thus, he devised a lethal trap, while focusing most of the offensive power on the enemy mages, he also created a trap for Faran’s air forces.
The Legions of Pegasus Knights and Magic Eagle Knights charged in tight formations, which allowed them to more effectively defend against Qin City’s long-range attack legion.
Therefore, when their movements became sluggish under the attack of the Tree Spirit Druids, their formation was still tight.
It was at this moment that a thunderous roar erupted.
The dark muzzles that had been quietly extending from various peaks and city battlements were already filled with terrifying elemental energy, countless beams converged from all directions, heading directly towards the twenty thousand air force soldiers in the sky.
The splendid light drew stunning colors in the air, and after recent improvements, Qin City was no longer the same Qin City as when the Dragon Clan first arrived.
pared to that time, Qin City’s defensive power had bee even more terrifying.
If the Faran Army had battled Qin City on an open plain, then even bining all of Qin City’s strength, they might not have been able to withstand them.
But this place was different, this was Qin City, the fortress that Anya, Ye Yinzhu, and various clans in Qin City had worked hard to build for a long time.
Only here could Qin City’s bat power be maximized, especially the magic guide cannons, which possessed an utterly terrifying force that once unleashed, could be described as apocalyptic.
The number of magic guide cannons had surpassed two hundred.
When those two hundred dazzling columns of light rose at the same time, even the sunlight seemed to pale in parison.
The air that should have been cold almost instantly became hot, and all energy was fully unleashed in an instant.
Gerard, the Holy Pegasus Knight, and the Magic Eagle Holy Knight Kong Lingqi felt the ominous signs almost immediately, but by then, the slowing effect bestowed by the Tree Spirit Druids hadn’t ended yet, making it impossible to escape the area.
Fortunately, they had just activated their douqi to its fullest, adopting their strongest defensive posture to face the onslaught of the magic guide cannons.
But could their defenses pare with the offensive power of the magic guide cannons?
As Qin City’s ultimate weapon, the power of the magic guide cannons was extremely terrifying, and Qin City’s highest-quality magic crystal cores were almost all used for them.
Among these two hundred magic guide cannons, most were equipped with magic crystal cores above the Eighth Rank.
Once the long-cultivated energy was unleashed, especially when striking the same location simultaneously, the terrifying power immediately created a chain reaction.
Sloan’s face turned pale, as he saw those massive two hundred beams of light, his expression became extremely unsightly.
He could fully sense how powerful those energies were when they converged.
That was an attack carrying prohibited curse energy.
Each energy beam emitted by the magic guide cannons reached the level of a forbidden curse.
With so many forbidden curses colliding together, the power was so terrifying that it was almost indescribable.
The defensive power of the Pegasus and Magic Eagles was also decent, but pared to the massive bodies of the dragons, they fell far short.
Even the dragons, who were top tier among the magical beasts, couldn’t withstand the attacks from the magic guide cannons, not to mention these magical beasts whose defenses were far less than those of the dragons.
The area hit by the magic guide cannons saw both Pegasus Knights and Magic Eagle Knights pletely vanish from this world in an instant.
All they could do was to use their defensive douqi to slightly mitigate the terrifying impact force.
Only the crystal cores of the magical beasts and the weapons in their hands were barely preserved, but their life marks were pletely erased.
