Chapter 99 Encirclement and Suppression of the Harpy
This is the suggestion put forward by Chief Gavin. It is not to launch a full-scale war against the harpies as soon as they get started, but to hunt them on a small scale.
The first is to verify the psychic bullet's lethality against harpies in actual combat and collect more detailed data.
Facts have repeatedly proven that this skill is very useful against savage and stupid harpies, knocking them unconscious for as few as eight times and as many as a dozen.
The second is to weaken the overall strength of the harpies as much as possible. If one person is missing, they will lose a little strength. If possible, it is best to kill the entire harpy tribe through this kind of assassination. That would be perfect.
This kind of thinking also exists in imagination.
No matter how stupid the harpy is, she is not so stupid that a large number of her tribe members disappear without noticing.
The sky is getting dark, and the harpies that have gone out to hunt are returning to their nests one after another.
Two harpies were hunted and killed, and happened to be exposed under the eyes of a returning harpy. They immediately let out a scream of fright and anger, startling all the harpies on the Eagle Cliff.
A large number of harpies rose into the sky, black and dense, like a dark cloud, circling around Eagle Cliff, looking for hateful enemies everywhere.
The sneaky hunting team, preparing to abscond, was immediately exposed under their noses.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Accompanied by a few crisp eagle calls.
Seven or eight harpies gathered together, lowered their bodies, and dived menacingly.
The hunting team's panicked flight turned into a fugitive. They lowered their bodies one by one and tried to crawl into the surrounding caves.
This further stimulated the hunting desire of the harpies. How could they let the prey escape? They converged their wings one by one, entered into a dive, and quickly closed the distance.
Just when the distance between the two sides was only ten meters or even less than ten meters.
The fleeing prey suddenly turned around, with ferocious smiles on their faces.
That is definitely not the expression that a prey should have, but that of a hunter.
The Harpy's stupid brain was unable to react to the sudden change of roles.
They didn't have a chance to react.
Rays of blue light shone from the surrounding caves, and invisible psychic bullets blasted into his brain, causing him to fall into coma.
The second before they fell into unconsciousness, what they saw was a scene that horrified them.
Dozens of camouflaged cave entrances were opened at the same time. They were densely packed like a honeycomb, and dozens of odes rushed out from inside.
At this moment, they, who were not even smart, knew that this was a trap and they fell into it.
Only six of the eight harpies fell into a coma, and the other two were not affected. It is not known whether the Erd spell aimed at her failed or she was forced to save by her will.
But before she could flap her wings and change her flight direction, the two subsequent psychic bullets sent them into the same state.
The Erd ambush troops were already close at hand. They had obviously undergone special training. They formed a small team of three to five people, set up the harpy and threw it to the ground.
This is a more effective killing method than the daggers in their hands.
By coincidence, it can directly break their cervical vertebrae and spine, even if they don't die, they can still be disabled.
At worst, their eagle wings can be broken, and even if they wake up, they can only flop on the ground with no chance to take off again.
What's more, there are more ordinary kobolds waiting for them on the ground.
Those who have already woken up when they land will naturally be dealt with by strong hands.
The one who was unconscious was dragged into a narrow cave by several kobolds and stabbed wildly. Regardless of whether she woke up or not, the possibility of survival was almost zero.
A set of combined tactics was defeated, which greatly inspired the kobolds who were lurking on the sidelines.
It turns out that the battle can still go on like this.
Including these eight harpies, their ambush took away fifteen harpies.
This brilliant battle result even exceeded the Yingya Cave's battle gains in previous years.
The fruitful results greatly enhanced the kobolds' self-confidence and filled them with hope of winning this battle.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The ambush against these eight harpies was carried out in front of all the harpies, which completely angered them.
A harpy that was two times larger than an ordinary harpy, its wings showing a dazzling red color, flew to the front, guarded by six equally strong harpies.
This is the blood feather of the queen of this harpy tribe.
After the Harpy Queen appeared, she immediately sang loudly. Not only did she sing, she also jumped up and danced in the air. The guards around her responded together.
This dance is more complicated than any dance Gavin has seen, not only because they are in the air, but also because they perfectly integrate their wings.
The Harpy Queen is obviously like other harpies, her hands and feet look like terrifying eagle claws.
But when the dance starts, people will unconsciously ignore this point, leaving only the white body, which makes people want to stop.
Gavin felt that his right cheek had been punched again. Artoria snorted coldly, and her voice directly appeared in his mind: "I know you are a hot-blooded young man, but please divide your time and the target, and don't delay the ambush.
plan."
"I was not deceived this time." Gavin also replied with his heart, "I have only heard before that some harpies can also perform a seductive dance in addition to songs of temptation. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today."
"Okay, don't explain, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Arturia looked like she knew what she was doing, which made Gavin hate her.
As the Harpy Queen dances, the other harpies no longer fly aimlessly, but hover around her, singing loudly, composing a beautiful, beautiful and magical piece of music full of endless charm.
The influence of this harpy chorus goes far beyond the seductive song of a single harpy. They are using music to weave the surrounding magic net, causing violent vibrations that spread in all directions with Eagle Cliff as the center.
Covering the surrounding area for several kilometers.
And it broke through the physical limitations, directly bypassing Gavin and the others' earplugs, and penetrated deep into the soul.
Many kobolds couldn't hold it any longer and staggered out of the cave.
Just when the harpy chorus is about to reach its peak.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
Come out from the depths of Eagle Cliff.
The noise was so loud.
It's like the first roar of a sleeping dragon waking up.
It's like a heavy pulse from the earth.
A dung ladle suddenly inserted into a pot of good soup, completely destroying the perfect harmony of the harpy chorus. Even the power of temptation was seriously affected. Many kobolds woke up on the spot and saw that they were about to emerge from their hiding places.
Those who came out were so frightened that they hurriedly hid deep inside.
Dragon Roar and War Drum.
The earth is the surface, the dragon is the skin, Erd is the hammer, and the eagle cliff is the throat.
This is the magic weapon at the bottom of the box that has been used by the Eagle Cliff Cave and the harpy tribe for a century.
Once the big drum is beaten, it will not stop and cannot stop until the drummer, Erd, knocks himself to death on the dragon's roaring war drum.
This is the cost of using the Dragon's Roar War Drum.
Every kobold in Yingya Cave knows this.
When they heard the first roar of dragons and war drums, they knew that the time had come to charge with all their might.
Because one Erd is only enough to beat the dragon's roar and war drum a dozen times.
"Do it!" Zach roared angrily.
He rushed out immediately.
At the same moment, countless Erds swarmed out from the large and small tunnels around Eagle Cliff.
Different from the past, these Erds no longer fought individually, but were divided into teams of five. The leading Erd did not hold any weapons, but each held a psychic stone.
The four Erds following him also did not hold weapons, but worked together to hold a large fishing net, each with a corner.
The tactical ideas are very clear.
The leader, Oed, launched the psychic bullet, and the following Oed used a net to directly tie up the harpy and drag it to the ground.
There are twelve such teams in total, and on the outside are the ordinary Erds who provide support.
The harpies were completely unprepared for the sudden change in tactics. Seven harpies were on the spot. After being controlled, they were tied into fishing nets.
After successfully catching Oed, he grabbed the prey and descended sharply to the ground, in such a posture that he was ready to smash the harpy in the fishing net to the ground.
If it was thrown from a high school that was hundreds of meters away, let alone a harpy, even a giant dragon would be killed by the fall.
Of the remaining five teams, four failed to cast spells, and one team failed because the net team behind them did not cooperate well.
The Erd who missed it became anxious. He pulled out the dagger he carried with him, aimed it at the Harpy's throat, and cut off her main artery with a sharp knife, causing blood to flow out.
The severe physical pain awakened the comatose harpy. With a howl, she flapped her wings, and with a backhand claw, she cut off one of Erd's skin wings by the roots and started to spin.
fell down.
The harpy, whose health was still low, went completely crazy and rushed towards the other three Erd who were trying to rearrange the net.
Bang!
The delayed psychic bullet produced a secondary explosion in her brain, slowing down her offensive movements.
The three Erds didn't even bother to adjust the netting. They pulled out their daggers and rushed forward. They stabbed her neck, wings and other vital parts hard.
No matter how tenacious the harpy's life is, it can't withstand this kind of torment, and there will never be a chance to wake up.
The remaining harpies were a little impatient.
Especially those who were close to the arrested tribesmen, they ignored the chorus, howled, and rushed towards the nearest arrested tribesmen, trying to rescue them.
Those Erd who were calling for reinforcements rushed forward one by one with swords and shields, and they took on a posture of refusing to give way to the death.
But when the harpy actually turned its target towards them, it was discovered that they were just bluffing, they were jumping very fast one by one, and their swords and shields were just beautiful empty frames. If they could turn around and run, they should run first.
Boom!
The second dragon roar and war drum sounded for a long time.
The chorus of harpies was disrupted again, injecting more courage into the kobolds.
As if to cheer up the roar of the dragon, the seven harpies were very close to the ground. No matter how they fluttered and scratched, they could not get rid of the net on their bodies, let alone stop themselves from falling faster and faster.
The most intimate contact with the earth came directly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
They used their bodies and the ground to play the last movement in their lives. The melody was different, but the same cruel and bloody music.
The powerful impact caused by falling from a high altitude directly shattered their internal organs, blood spurted out, and their bodies were distorted to an exaggerated degree.
Except for two or three, some were hanging for the last breath, while the rest fell to death on the spot.
Erd, who threw the harpy down, turned around and burrowed into the nearest hole, regardless of whether his target fell to death or not.
This is a war that combines air and ground. Once the harpy lands, ground troops will naturally take over. Those Ords have not yet crawled back into the ground.
Those harpies that were still in the net were dragged into the hole by the kobolds who came out of the nearby hole.
Just as this round of attack was successful, another wave of Erd's net-catching team flew out of the cave in Eagle Cliff to find their respective attackers. Once successful, they would immediately use the net to catch the enemy.
Just because of the time difference, there were far fewer harpies captured at once than in the first wave.
Scattered.
One here, two there, and another one here.
The harpies trapped in the net were dragged one by one and smashed to the ground like dumplings.
Crackling.
The scene should not be too bloody.
Every time a harpy landed, all the kobolds couldn't help but cheer, which meant that the opponent's strength was weakened by another point.
The dragon's roar and war drum only sounded ten times.
Twenty-two harpies died.
The entire number of harpies in Eagle Cliff is barely over a hundred years old, and including those who were assassinated previously, one third of them are gone now.
In the sky, the formation of harpies has become a little thinner.
The harpy was obviously a little timid. The queen of the harpy no longer wanted to dance the dance of temptation or sing the song of temptation. She howled angrily, took the harpy with her, and turned around to leave.
Her IQ is obviously higher than other harpies, and she knows that her enemies are well prepared today, and if they continue to fight, they will not get any benefits.
The kobolds in Yingya Cave finally reversed the situation, but they were willing to give up and pursued them. They followed the same pattern and captured three more harpies in the blink of an eye.
Chirp!
The Harpy Queen screamed angrily, flapped her bloody wings fiercely, turned around, and rushed back, her claws flashing with coquettish blood.
An Erd who was chasing too fast had no time to regain his speed and ran directly into the claws of the Harpy Queen. With just one claw, his entire chest was torn open and all his internal organs were taken out. He died on the spot.
The Harpy Queen has a larger body than ordinary harpies, but has speed and agility that exceeds them. She danced again, but this time, it was no longer a dance of temptation, but a dance of killing.
She made full use of her four claws. Each claw was a deadly weapon. If she was caught by one of them, she would not be able to escape the subsequent clawing.
In the blink of an eye, four Erd died in her hands.
Until her brain also received a bullet - a psychic bullet.
The time she was in coma was very short, only two or three times.
Oede, who was cooperating with throwing the net, just rushed forward excitedly. Her scarlet eyes opened again, she vibrated her wings vigorously, easily dodged the net, and took advantage of the situation to start a new round of killing.
Of the four Erds, two Erds died violently, one was crippled and spun down, and only one escaped.
This was the result of another round of psychic bullets exploding in her brain.
Otherwise, all four of them will be left behind by her.
The ferocity of the Harpy Queen severely shocked Erd, who was pursuing the victory, and once again reminded them of how weak their physical fighting abilities were in front of this group of harpies, and they must not get too close to them.
The brilliant results they achieved today relied on tactical suppression rather than rapid advancement in their own strength.
Under the crazy counterattack of the Harpy Queen, the Erds achieved relatively limited success, with only three harpies falling into the trap again.
The remaining harpies all escaped, and in terms of speed, they still had an absolute advantage.
Under the leadership of the Harpy Queen, the Harpies did not return to their home nest, but flew towards the distance.
