In order to steadily quell the rebellion, after crossing the 102 Canal, the Xiongdu Front Army began to advance step by step and set up camp according to the established plan, trying to set up a stable enough supply line for themselves to stabilize as many soldiers as possible
Sent to the front line.
After the cross-river battle at Canal 102, both sides seemed to be more cautious. Both the Xiongdu side and the travelers in the north needed to take a breath and slow down for a while.
The battle situation seemed to be briefly put on a comma.
However, even in this gap between regrouping and advancing the front, both sides still have an army still in combat status - the Flying Wing Legion on Xiongdu's side, and the Northern Air Force on Fosbarrow's side.
That's right, this is an air battle that has rarely been seen in the history of Runeterra...
……………………
Xisilia, who has longed to become a flying wing since she was a child, when she won one game after another with her flying wings and determined to become a dragon and bird knight of the flying wing legion, she must have never thought that one day
He would be standing on the opposite side of the Flying Wing Legion.
However, even though the departure was imminent, Xisilia still didn't feel the slightest emotion in her heart.
Since she didn't have the heart to express emotion, and there was no need, she needed to seize the time to check her equipment.
This is a very important step for the Dragon Bird Rider before taking off.
All Dragon Knights of the Northern Air Force need to check all their equipment very carefully before starting the mission - including but not limited to specially designed armor, lightweight dragon guns, ropes and throwing weapons, windproof
Anti-fog goggles, Hex locator, etc.
Compared with the Dragon Bird Knights of the Flying Wing Legion on the Xiongdu side, the equipment of the Northern Air Force is much larger in quantity under the premise of limiting the weight.
In terms of the idea of building an army, what stands out about the Northern Air Force is that it is open to all rivers. All useful things, no matter where they are produced, must first be tested to see if they can be lightweight modified and used on the Dragon Bird Knight.
Even after the integrated strategy was proposed, someone proposed a plan to "develop air artillery." Although the tens of thousands of words of the plan did not even pass the preliminary review stage, it also illustrates the way of thinking of the Northern Air Force.
Since the target is the famous Flying Wing Legion in Xiongdu, we have to try everything!
In comparison, the equipment of the Winged Legion was updated slowly. Although with the expansion of Shurima trade, Jarvan IV, who always valued armaments, also spent a lot of money to purchase the Hex Telescope, which greatly improved the Winged Legion.
The legion's reconnaissance capabilities, but they certainly could not have imagined to what extent their counterparts in the north have now involved the air war.
The process of checking equipment requires carefulness, and there must not be any omissions. As the captain of the first flying company of the Dragon Bird Knights, Xisilia must not only be careful, but also need to be quick - after checking her own equipment and supplies,
She also needs to confirm the status of her teammates.
So, after quickly completing the inspection of her equipment, she looked at the team members under her command, and her eyes quickly swept over their bodies.
After confirming that everyone was ready, Xisilia finally waved her hand and signaled everyone to start setting off.
Nodding silently, the other dragon and bird knights lined up in a single column in tacit agreement, followed Xisilia, and walked towards the north tower of Lithos.
This place has been temporarily transformed into a platform for dragons and birds to take off and land - the gate of the tower has been enlarged, multiple rooms have been opened, and a large skylight has been opened on the top of the tower, and the whole has been made into the style of a dragon's nest.
A hundred-foot-square area at the top of the city was also cleared to facilitate the takeoff and landing of dragon birds.
After walking up the steps to the North City wall, Heathlia showed her ID and mission statement to the guards on the tower. Although the guards on the tower were already very familiar with Heathlia, they still carefully checked her ID and mission statement.
mission statement, and then took the initiative to speak with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go. I haven't taken off for a ride for several days. Xiaoyun is almost exhausted."
Heselia narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled and nodded to the other party, giving a thumbs up, but said nothing.
It’s not that she is pretending to be cool, but because the windproof mask provided by the Northern Air Force is not easy to wear. After wearing it, the voice will become dull and unclear - but its windproof effect is excellent and can greatly reduce the risk of flying at high altitudes.
The Dragon Knight's discomfort.
In this case, in order to achieve communication, the Northern Air Force even needs to learn professional tactical sign language. The gloves they wear are also very bright orange-red, and the long-range weapons they use are mainly single-handed throwing weapons.
Strive to ensure real-time contact between the team while performing tasks.
(Of course, Xisilia also heard from her best friend Fuquelin that the Archon is researching a new material for communication. Maybe when the Air Force will eliminate this tactical sign language system and replace it with
Maybe even if you use language to communicate.)
The door to the north tower was opened, and a group of dragon and bird knights filed in.
There is no need to see people, as long as they hear footsteps and smell familiar smells, all the dragon birds in the dragon bird nest will become excited.
The dragon and bird knights also quickened their pace, each running towards their own treasures.
Xisilia was no exception. Taking three steps and two steps at a time, she quickly arrived at the No. 1 dragon bird nest and saw her dragon bird Yun Ling.
And when she arrived here, there was another girl in Yun Ling's lair.
Xisilia knew her, her name was Pammy, and she was one of the administrators of the Dragon Bird Nest.
When Xisilia arrived at Dragon Bird Nest No. 1, Pammi was combing Yun Ling's hair, and skillfully took the opportunity to change the hay in the nest when Yun Ling changed her position comfortably.
Seeing Xisilia, the movements of her hands did not stop, but instead sped up a bit: "Ah, Xisilia, are you about to go on a mission? Are you equipped...quick mission?"
"..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Heathlia did not speak, just nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave Yun Ling to you then." The other party stepped aside with a smile, and touched Yun Ling's head by the way, "Okay, okay, I know you are impatient, go ahead, go ahead!"
Yun Ling rushed to Xisilia and rubbed her head against her affectionately.
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. Look at this feather powder. It's so choking. Sure enough, the dragon bird still needs to move more... Anyway, come back safely!"
Xisilia nodded again and quickly put on the dragon bird equipment on Yun Ling.
Yun Ling, who usually doesn't like restraints, obviously couldn't hold it in this time and showed great cooperation, allowing Xiselia to quickly complete the dressing.
Then, after being rubbed by Yun Ling again, Xisilia finally took her away from Dragon Bird Nest No. 1.
Behind her, the other dragon bird knights and dragon birds of the flying company also took their positions one after another.
Xisilia raised her head and her eyes fell on her team members and their dragon birds - not only Yun Ling, but due to the recent air traffic control, all the dragon birds seemed to be exhausted, and now they can finally go out for a walk.
, everyone is quite excited.
After noticing Xisilia's gaze, everyone put their hands on their chests, indicating that they were ready to take off. So, Xisilia took Yun Ling and was the first to leave the tower and took off.
At the platform, it officially took off.
If the dragon bird flies normally, it can take off and land vertically. The skylight of the dragon bird nest is for them to take off and land in this way.
However, when carrying a dragon bird rider and a full set of equipment, vertical takeoff and landing is a relatively big burden for the dragon bird. In this case, the best way for the dragon bird to take off should be to start gliding from a high place.
——This is also the reason why the temporary dragon bird nest is set up on the north tower of Lithos. It is high enough for the dragon bird knight to take off smoothly.
Xisilia was the first to take off, and after taking off, she controlled Yun Ling and started to hover in place.
Under her supervision, all team members took off one after another. Finally, everyone formed a herringbone and began to fly south.
It seemed like this was a step-by-step mission.
But Xisilia knew that this mission was different from all the past missions, because the main goal of this mission was not reconnaissance, but interception.
In the past few days, as the front moved forward, the Xiongdu Front Army's reconnaissance scope also began to expand rapidly. The Dragon Bird Knight could not only get close to Lissos City, but sometimes even Velos, further north of Lissos City.
I will also go for a spin.
As for Lithos, although there is a company of dragon and bird knights in the city, they have always kept a low profile under Lux's request. They even asked that all dragon and bird knights are not allowed to take off, and even the skylights of the dragon's nest are sealed.
.
It was not until today that Xisilia received the combat order.
The Flying Wing Legion's investigation patterns have been figured out, and now it's time to eliminate their eyes in one fell swoop!
Riding Yun Ling and flying at the front, Xisilia controlled the direction of Yun Ling while checking the positioning device. From time to time, she raised her hands high and made various gestures under the strong wind to command her subordinates to speed up or slow down.
Ensure that the formation of the entire flight company is neither loose nor tight, and the speed is neither too fast nor too slow.
Soon, the flying company arrived at the first target point - they were lucky. Although the weather was quite sunny today, the cloud layer was also thick. As Heathlia made an ascending gesture, the entire herringbone flying company
He quickly raised his head, pulled into the density of the formation, and then entered the clouds.
A quarter of an hour later, the 1st Flying Company of which Heathlia was a member arrived at the predetermined location.
After confirming with the vice-captain that the location was accurate through gestures, Heathlia finally made a gesture to leave the clouds.
After seeing this scene, everyone made the same gesture to confirm that all team members could receive the message - after three gestures, the entire squadron followed Sisilia's rhythm and began to lower its altitude.
The luck of the 1st Flying Squadron is really good.
Because just when they lowered their altitude and left the clouds, a hundred yards southeast of them, there was a ten-man Flying Wing Legion team that had just taken off and was performing a reconnaissance mission.
When Xisilia saw this, she reacted immediately. She made a tactical gesture with her left hand, and pulled out her zip line from the armed belt around her waist with her right hand.
At the same time, the dragon and bird knights on the opposite side also discovered Xisilia - after comparing the numerical difference between the two sides, three dragon and bird knights chose to come over to harass, while the others quickly turned around and turned back.
The three dragon bird knights who took the initiative to break off were obviously highly skilled people. One of the leaders even fixed his feet on the saddle while the dragon bird's flying speed did not slow down, and picked up at least twenty pieces of food with both hands.
A foot-long dragon spear, planning to strike first.
However, although the twenty-foot dragon spear was already astonishing, in comparison, the flying company's attack range was even more outrageous.
When he raised the dragon gun, Xisilia had already grabbed the handle of the flying rope, rounded it, and threw it lengthwise.
This special weapon of the Dragon Bird Knight, which looked like a nunchuck with a greatly lengthened middle hinge, spun in mid-air and flew out, attacking the Dragon Bird Knight of the Flying Wing Legion.
Seeing this scene, the dragon bird knight holding the dragon gun was stunned. He tried hard to open the flying rope, but it was too late - the flying rope entangled the joint of the left wing of the dragon bird under him.
The body of the dragon bird suddenly sank down and began to lose balance rapidly.
Wearing a helmet, Xisilia couldn't hear what the other party said, but judging from the shape of her mouth, she should be scolding herself for being mean, or simply greeting her immediate family members, right?
In response, Xiselia could only shake her head slightly, and then she gestured to the members at the end of the team to take advantage of the opponent's unbalanced actions to kill them all, while pulling out the second zip line.
Facts have proven that this kind of flying rope, inspired by the chain bombs used to break masts in naval battles, has an outstanding effect on dragons and birds - once the flying rope with magic circuits engraved on the handles at both ends is thrown, as long as it entangles the dragon
If you press the bird's wings, the handle will close and stimulate the magic oscillation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then the dragon bird will quickly lose balance and begin to make an emergency landing with its arms tilted.
In this posture, both the dragon bird and the dragon bird knight have no ability to resist.
And just when Xiselia's flying rope hit the target, from a position behind her, the two vice-captains also threw the flying rope for the second time. Among the three dragon and bird knights who broke off, there were
One was hit, and although the third one escaped a wave of zip lines, as Xisilia and the two vice-captains locked him in as a target, after the second wave of zip lines struck, the one under him
The dragon bird finally got its wings entangled in the flying rope.
At the end of the flying squadron, two more Dragon Bird Knights took out their melee weapons and left the team to finish up the damage.
In this way, despite being well prepared, the Flying Wing Legion team lost three Dragon Bird Knights in just one encounter.
This isn't the end yet.
Xisilia touched Yun Ling's head, and then controlled her to speed up while making gestures to ask all team members to speed up - the enemy was of average quality, and the goal of this battle was to completely annihilate this Winged Legion team!
A pursuit battle began.
Since there is a locator to determine the position, Xisilia does not need to worry too much about encountering an ambush, so the squadron can fully deploy the formation and pursue it as quickly as possible.
After biting the enemy, the formation of the Wing Legion squadron began to shrink to the extreme until the air flow stabilized. Xisilia gave a gesture. The dragon bird who was behind the two vice-captains was dressed differently from the others.
The knight finally started casting spells.
Follow the wind!
As the magic took effect, a gust of wind began to blow around the squadron. With the blessing of this gust of wind, the speed of the squadron suddenly increased. Under the astonished eyes of the dragon and bird knights of the Flying Wing Legion, they quickly caught up.
They tacitly changed their formations to left and right and began to outflank them.
At this point, the battle finally has no suspense anymore.
