Chapter 688 The Winged Dragon Knight and the pursuing alchemy puppet
High in the sky, a biting murderous aura was raging crazily.
The sudden fourth-level manticore-type alchemy puppet was like a boulder thrown by a trebuchet.
It roared in, and it seemed like there was only one step away from the hovering pterosaur knight captain Sean!
On its huge lion head, the mane was extremely dense, and the tusks were obviously much longer than those of ordinary lions. Under the bright white moonlight, it exuded a faint cold light.
Coupled with the huge and strong body and the sharp and thick lion claws, it looks majestic.
Of course, if that was all, it wouldn't be the manticore that is the nightmare of most flying monsters.
What is incompatible with the seemingly clumsy and huge body is a pair of extremely flexible and winding giant black wing membranes on its back.
The stretched flying shape covers the sky and the moon, and its intimidating power is extremely astonishing.
What is even more eye-catching is another iconic feature of the manticore, the thick and huge scorpion tail with each segment.
Especially the hook-shaped spike at the tip of the scorpion's tail leaves no doubt that it possesses unparalleled piercing and tearing capabilities.
All in all, although this is an alchemy puppet with a dark and shiny stone texture, its intimidating power and the aura it exudes are not inferior to those of a real manticore.
Looking at the opponent who was about to kill him, Sean understood clearly.
He is only a third-level senior expert, and the Sky Winged Dragon under his crotch is only at the peak of the second level. Facing the fourth-level manticore puppet, his chances of winning are obviously slim.
Unless the whole team of pterodactyl knights goes into battle and relies on the full set of fourth-level equipment given by the lord, it is possible to compete with the opponent.
However, right behind the fourth-level manticore puppet, there are nine third-level manticore puppets!
"What should we do? With the speed of the Sky Pterosaur, although we can barely deal with these flying alchemy puppets for a while, we will not be able to throw alchemy bombs. By then, the lord and the territory will be in danger."
Thinking of this, Sean tightened the reins, and a look of awe could not help but appear on his face hidden under the knight's helmet.
Although the hope of victory is almost zero, after all, he has a fourth-level lance in his hand. If he fights to the death, he may be able to solve this problem for the lord.
As long as the leading fourth-level manticore puppet dies, the remaining nine will be equal to the strength of his subordinates. At that time, it will naturally be much easier to handle.
"Sean, don't be impulsive, just contain it."
Just when Sean was about to fight to the death, Lei Xiao's brief voice reached his ears through his words: "The same goes for other pterodactyl knights. I have my own way to deal with those alchemy puppets."
"As you command! Lord!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Sean activated the Sky Pterosaur under his crotch, which immediately turned into a meteor and began to escape into the distant sky.
The other nine pterodactyl knights also made the same move one after another, temporarily leaving behind the other nine third-level manticore puppets that tried to attack them.
As a result, the sound of explosions one after another stopped.
"It's just a death struggle again."
At the junction of the dense forest and the territory, the white knight saw that the explosion had stopped and snorted disdainfully.
In the group of alchemy puppets in his hand, just the fourth-order manticore was enough to destroy the entire group of pterodactyl knights, not to mention the other nine third-order ones.
Although the Sky Winged Dragon is slightly faster, how can those second-level Sky Winged Dragons be compared with the more powerful Alchemy Puppet in terms of physical strength and energy?
Especially when flying at high speed, this consumption is extremely huge.
As the Sky Pterodactyl's physical energy becomes more and more depleted, catching up with these Pterodactyl Knights will become an easy task.
While the white knight was thinking secretly, he ordered the commanders of the nobles who were attacking the territory to quickly reorganize their formations and continue to rely on the Demon Breaker's advantage to bombard the territory's absolute defense barrier with all their strength.
At this point, a new round of shelling began.
Everything seemed to be back to the scene before it was reversed just now.
The deafening roar and rippling energy fluctuations completely enveloped the territory again.
The territory's counterattack magic cannons were once again blocked by the Demon Breakers through the increasingly compact formation of the traditional nobles.
For a time, the morale of the White Knight camp was greatly boosted.
All soldiers clearly understand that once the energy of the absolute defense barrier is exhausted, it will naturally be the moment when Princess Keqing's city will be destroyed.
"The strength of the fourth-level alchemy puppet is at least equivalent to that of a fourth-level senior expert. Coupled with the extremely hard alchemical shell, it is almost unbeatable in the sky."
"Even if those pterodactyl knights are quite powerful, they are by no means their match due to the limited capabilities of their mounts."
Feeling the surge in morale around him, a trace of worry could not help but appear behind his brocade-framed black glasses, and he murmured to himself: "Your Excellency, guest, how will you deal with this overwhelming situation?"
…
"Lord, what should we do now?"
On the city wall of the territory, Ariel looked at the continuously exploding magic artillery fire, which stirred up waves of energy on the absolute defense barrier, and couldn't help asking nervously.
Beside her, many subordinates also showed the same worried look on their faces.
What the territory is facing now is the constant bombardment from hundreds of magic cannons.
And the White Knight is, after all, supported by the eldest prince and many traditional nobles, and his background can be said to be very profound.
After all, neither the Demon Breaker nor the Manticore Puppet are things that ordinary forces can possess, but the White Knight has them at his fingertips, which is evident from this.
"Don't worry, I have a good strategy to defeat the enemy."
Lei Xiao, who had just returned from inspecting several other territorial walls, smiled lightly and waved his hand to indicate that Ariel didn't need to worry.
"That's great!"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Ariel's pounding mood gradually eased and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately she seemed to have remembered something, her starry eyes lit up again, she came closer to Lei Xiao and whispered: "Lord, do you want Senior Hong Ye to reveal his true form? There is indeed no flying monster that dares to challenge the sky.
The authority of the overlord dragon clan is the same as that of the flying alchemy puppet!"
"I believe it won't be long before you see Hong Ye's true form, but now is not the time."
After hearing Ariel's speculation, Lei Xiao couldn't help but recall the first time he met Hong Ye, and smiled helplessly and said: "Believe me, her current appearance is more eye-catching."
Needless to say, while Hong Ye was still being chased by other red dragons, Lei Xiao would naturally not let Hong Ye reveal his true form.
Otherwise, even if the White Knight is defeated, the territory will face another complete and scorching nightmare.
At least at this stage, Lei Xiao has no plans to give himself another such a powerful or invincible enemy.
Moreover, Hong Ye has always kept secret about the reason why she was being hunted. Apparently, she was also not ready to face other members of her race.
Lei Xiao thought this while looking up at the sky.
"Lord, how will you respond?"
While confused, Ariel also followed Lei Xiao's line of sight and looked over intently.
In the hazy sky, Sean and the nine pterodactyl knights were seen flying back over the territory.
Behind them, there were ten manticore alchemy puppets chasing after them!
Judging from this thrilling scene of front legs driving back legs, as long as Sean and others are a little negligent, what awaits them will undoubtedly be the judgment of sharp teeth, lion claws and scorpion tails.
Just when they were about to approach the sky above the territory, Sean and the other ten pterodactyl knights suddenly began to accelerate in an extremely dense formation, and immediately threw the ten huge manticore puppets behind them some distance away.
Immediately afterwards, the ten pterodactyl knights actually slowed down significantly and turned around, as if waiting for the arrival of the manticore puppets.
Those manticore puppets, seeing the right opportunity, rushed straight towards Sean and others, obviously planning to start a bloody feast.
Seeing this unexpected scene, both the enemy and ourselves, who were paying attention to the situation in the air, did not wait for reaction.
A change has occurred.
Just when the manticore puppets were about to approach the stagnant pterodactyl knights with their claws and fangs fluttering their huge black wing membranes.
An extremely huge purple thunder net appeared out of thin air in front of the Pterodactyl Knights, like a barrier, blocking the space between the Manticore Puppet and the Pterodactyl Knights.
Since the manticore puppets were flying extremely fast, it was obviously too late to make other reactions, so they all collided head-on with them.
The sound of sizzling electricity was heard immediately.
I saw the giant thunder net shrinking rapidly in the air, immediately enveloping all the manticore puppets who were caught off guard.
Although the manticore puppets struggled extremely fiercely, they were like prey caught in a trap. The more they tried to break free, the tighter they were tied.
Not long after, except for the leader, the fourth-level manticore puppet, who was still struggling wildly, the rest of the manticore puppets had stopped moving, apparently suffering from the paralysis effect of the thunder net.
At this point, all the alchemy puppets have temporarily lost their ability to move and are fixed in mid-air.
Needless to say, this is the new function "Sky Thunder Net" gained by the Tower of Vision after lifting the magic lock mechanism.
Lei Xiao once experimented with this new function alone in his spare time.
It was found that this kind of thunder net is extremely tough and can easily trap all the sky guardians and exert a paralyzing effect.
Although it cannot cause fatal damage, it can easily turn the tide for the current situation.
The trapped flying alchemy puppet is naturally like a target and no longer poses any threat.
"Sean, please start your performance."
Looking at the fourth-level manticore puppet, which seemed to have a faint tendency to break free, Lei Xiao immediately spoke to the pterodactyl knight captain and ordered it.
"As you command! Lord!"
In mid-air, Sean and others were ready to go. The sharp lances in their hands were already aimed at the target. They immediately activated the pterosaurs under their crotches, like an arrow from the string, towards the manticores.
The puppet rushed away.
In the blink of an eye, the spear tips flashing with cold light, carrying unstoppable power, pierced the shiny black stone body one after another, causing a burst of gravel to splash everywhere.
With the blessing of extreme speed and the fourth-level quality lance, after the first wave of impact, the nine third-level manticore puppets on the periphery were reduced to a pile of rubble and fell from the sky one after another.
Although the fourth-level manticore puppet was partially shattered, it was still struggling vigorously.
After regaining distance in the air, Sean led the remaining nine pterosaur knights and launched a second round of charge against the last remaining fourth-level manticore puppet.
There was no suspense. Under the unstoppable collective charge of the ten pterodactyl knights, the fourth-level alchemy puppet was completely shattered, bringing a perfect end to this aerial pursuit battle.
Because all this happened extremely quickly, it was not until the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and ours reacted again.
Everything in the sky has returned to calm.
Uncontrollable cheers suddenly erupted from the territory.
"As expected of the lord!"
In the cheering crowd, all subordinates looked excited and their morale was high.
Outside the absolute defense barrier, although the continuous roar of the magic cannon continued.
But on the faces of the traditional noble soldiers, in addition to shock, there was more fear.
This undoubtedly means that the terrifying alchemy bomb just now will fall on their heads again!
Of course, there was only one exception, and that was Jin Wen, who was always nervous.
Not only did he not show fear, but he looked vaguely excited.
"The thunder net that suddenly restrained the manticore puppets should be one of the functions of the miraculous building of the winged humans, right? It's simply unbelievable!"
Jin Wen pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his excited emotions.
"You know, the vast majority of golem puppets and alchemy puppets are extremely resistant to magic, and they can actually be restrained so easily..."
"I wonder what the cooling time of this function is? How long does it last? How exactly is it controlled accurately?"
Just as Jinwen was secretly excited.
The white knight who was already riding on the white horse-shaped puppet was already covered in strong anger.
Unexpectedly, the princess's tricks were endless, hindering her attack again and again!
You know, before this, no opponent has ever been able to let himself be so passive!
Sensing the morale of the soldiers around them, the morale began to become lower and lower, and the pterodactyl knights under Lei Xiao's command had begun to pour alchemy bombs madly in the sky again.
I saw the white knight waving his hand to stop the attack, urging his horse, and quickly walked to the center of the battlefield.
The next second, something that no one expected happened.
