"Is this what we are about to attack? Look at some bare stone pillars, which are made of rotten wood and broken stones and have no aesthetic value. They are not even as exquisite as the toilets of our family's servants." On a balloon airship, a handsome young man in gorgeous casual clothes lay on the side of the ship and said lazily. Although he was close to the target's lair, there was no trace of nervousness on his face. Like several other young male and female crew members on the ship, he didn't even bother to wear heavy and cold armor.
"Don't come here, Derry. I don't believe you have seen your servants' toilets with your own eyes. Those smelly things must be built underground. Although these buildings are indeed very badly built, well, if they are really It can be called 'architecture'."
"Okay, okay, don't you think that discussing these disgusting and dirty things will cast a layer of haze on our noble status? We should still think about how to earn military merit, we Saiba The nobles born in Ta County must not lose to those guys from other places. We must make those guys who dare to laugh at us as country bumpkins look good. However, I heard that the Amazon Centaur is known as the most fierce female on the Blade Tower continent. Race, it would be really embarrassing if someone accidentally gets hurt." "Dink, do you think those ugly monsters with four legs can really threaten us? Primitive weapons can shoot through the armor on our bodies. Now I am only worried that if I accidentally leave a few scratches on my armor, my old people will definitely talk about it when I go back. I heard that this is a family inheritance for more than two decades. It's a hundred and fifty-year-old antique. I wonder if you can buy it for some female slaves if you sell it." A very handsome young man with unusually pale lips said with longing, but his speech was immediately affected. The contempt of his companions.
"Slave girl, my God. Orvis, has your family declined to the point where you don't even have the money to buy a female slave? Well, since we have known each other for so long, you will give me some military merit later, and I will I’ll give you dozens of the best elf slave girls, or if you have more serious tastes and like orcs or dwarves, you can have as many as you want on my farm.” The woman from the old street obviously impressed these older children, even among them. Several girls were interested. At this time, everyone stretched their ears, ready to hear what was going on. But Ovis, who was speaking, waited until everyone was about to go crazy before continuing: "Do you know where those valuable old street women come from? Although those damn slave traders are tight-lipped. But still Let our family know this information. Hmm, you can’t imagine that there is a small town built a short time ago, a remote place called Luochiagang, on the seaside hundreds of kilometers away from this rainforest. That's where the Laojie women come from. Yes, you heard it right, they are in this damn place, just outside the rain forest not far from us. After the battle here is over, I must take the time to go there. In the last round, maybe I can catch a few fun female slaves without spending any money!”…
A group of older children suddenly began to look forward to it, imagining entertainment activities after the war in their minds, until one of the older girls, who should be the captain, said: "Hey, we are about to land on the top of the stone pillar peak. Come on, we are already within the bow and arrow range of those centaur archers, please quickly put on your equipment and prepare to land for battle!"
"Yes~~~!"
There was a lazy response. Just as the young masters and ladies began to put on sophisticated equipment, a sharp-eyed girl suddenly pointed to the top of a pillar peak not far away and said very curiously: "Hey! Look, what is that? ?”
There are hundreds of straight pillar peaks of different thicknesses and heights standing in the Thousand Needles Canyon. The pillar peak the girl pointed to is the one that is closer to the Blood Blade Peak, is very thin, and is also very tall.
At this time, the pillar peak, with an area of only a few dozen square meters, was located at the center of the forward force of the balloon airship fleet. There was also a huge stone pillar more than ten meters high, surrounded by about three people, erected on it. The stone pillars are carved with rough and vivid patterns of wolves, eagles, bison, and cobras, exuding an ancient and desolate heroic atmosphere.
"Hey, Mary, even if you don't take our main enemy to heart, you shouldn't know that thing. It's a 'Shaman Totem', which is often used by wild tribes when they worship the ancestral spirit of the heretical evil god Shaman. The religious symbol has similar functions to the "Holy Triangle Cross" of our "Holy Light Principle", but it seems that some barbarians use that thing as a weapon, and those barbarians also like to put such ugly and rough things up everywhere. They are all, so barbarians are barbarians.”
"Okay, okay, I don't need you to educate me. Of course I recognize that thing as a shaman totem. What I want to ask is, why does it seem to be glowing?"
After hearing what the girl said, everyone took a closer look at the shaman totem and found that more and more stone cracks were appearing on the surface of the stone pillar, and in the deepest part of these cracks, a dark red color was faintly revealed. of dazzling light.
One of the clergy girls wearing a white robe slowly frowned and murmured: "This is like a fluctuation of divine power. It feels violent and hot. It's not good! Everyone, hurry up and get out of the way!"
Before the voice of the beautiful girl priest fell, the huge and thick stone pillar finally exploded like a fire// medicine barrel. A huge circular fire wave rose into the sky along with a black mushroom cloud, and violent air waves mixed with the front... Hot debris rages wildly in Thousand Needles Canyon
The totem pole's explosion was so wide that it caught almost a third of the balloon airship fleet.
Yes, this is the totem magic mastered by Goron, "Exploding Nova".
Gronn imbued this shaman totem that had stood for hundreds of years with divine power early in the morning, and then activated it and detonated it at the most appropriate time and opportunity.
Although the flames, shock waves and debris did not cause effective damage to the solid deck of the airship outside the explosion, and did not pose a fatal direct threat to the young ladies and gentlemen hiding inside, they could very effectively destroy the fleet formation. The airships collided in series in mid-air, and some of the airship's balloons were broken by flames and fragments and collisions. The entire airship whirled and roared straight to the ground.
For these young men and women of the Knights of the Holy Fire, the previous victories were so easy that they inadvertently ignored a very important issue.
Thousand Needles Canyon is located in a basin. For the balloon airship fleet, from the moment it enters the canyon, it is no longer in a rain forest. There is no relatively safe height here, and there is no dense and flexible green vegetation to buffer it. When the airship crashes, what awaits them will be deep cliffs nearly a kilometer high and hard and cold rock valley bottoms.
Only a few lucky ones can land on the nearby Pillar Peak Peak. However, what awaits them is not the joy of surviving the disaster, but the murderous Amazon warriors who open the cover and rush out from the cover.
From the very beginning, Gronn rejected the proposal of the Centaur Overseer to stick to the Blood Blade Peak and engage in a decisive battle with the enemy. Instead, he divided the warriors into small teams ranging from ten to dozens of people, each lying in ambush on the top of a nearby pillar, waiting for the opportunity to fight. He set a trap and waited for his enemy to arrive.
Except for the main peak Blood Blade Peak in Thousand Needles Canyon, the other pillar peaks are generally very narrow in area, as big as a flying field, and the smaller ones can only accommodate four or five people standing. The "lucky ones" who were lucky enough to land on it suddenly panicked when facing the desperate and fierce Centaur warriors who were waiting for their lives. Even many noble warriors who were not fully equipped would only be beaten like pigs and sheep even if their levels completely suppressed their opponents. Kill quickly.
And those Zhufeng who did not drop the enemy did not have nothing to do. I saw those female centaur warriors launching heavy crossbows and even small artillery from the bunkers, aiming at the airships with intact balloons to conduct concentrated fire bombardment. Specialized in shooting balloons.
After losing the commanding heights and formation advantages, these balloon airships suddenly became living targets, and one after another they were shot up.
The Amazon Centaur has been entrenched in Thousand Needles Canyon for an unknown length of time, and its collection is unimaginably thick. And he's not like a rude and stupid black-handed ogre who's only interested in what he can eat. In the Amazon Centaur trophy warehouse, there are a large number of heavy crossbows and even artillery.
These human items and alien weapons are of no use to the centaur warriors who are accustomed to roaming and plundering in the rain forest. They can only be regarded as collections and have long been forgotten. However, for Gron, these military equipment are the key to winning the counterattack.
