Chapter 466 King of Aerial Combat
Chapter 500: King of Aerial Combat
The wind in the early morning is a little chilly, and the higher you go, the stronger it is.

Mupe Gray Feather clasped his arms across his chest, and a pair of gray wings behind him flapped slowly as he hovered high in the air.

Like all eaglemen of the Gray Feather Clan, Mupe has the same torso as humans, but with longer limbs, a head covered with feathers, powerful sharp claws on his hands and legs, and a pair of gray wings behind him.

The only special thing is that his claws are not the orange-yellow color of ordinary eagle men, but a strange green color.

Mupe's eyes, which were no different from those of an eagle, looked down coldly.

Below him were two large armies confronting each other.

To the west, the dark mass clearly divided into five square formations was the Eagle Army's array, with very neat edges, as if they had been cast out of a mold.

Although the army on the east also formed a battle formation, its shape was much rougher in comparison, with some squares and some circles, and the visual effect was quite different.

There is nothing that can be done about it. If orcs could be as obedient as humans, they would not be called orcs.

Raising his eyelids, Mupe's gaze fell on the group of Wind King cavalrymen opposite.

There were as many as 800 of them, and they were in neat formation even in the air. With their wings spread out, they looked like a light blue cloud.

The sharp beak and nails reflected the cold sunlight, giving people the impression of being dangerous and sharp like metal.

at this time.

Boom, boom, boom——

The sound of war drums rang out from the earth and spread to the sky, and the dense flapping of wings rang out. Mupe saw that the Wind King's troops were surging in like a turbulent cloud stream swept by a storm.

A sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of Mu Pei's mouth.

He had heard of the name of the Wind King's army, which had once shined in the Eivor War and captured the awe-inspiring Wall of Sighs.

The only pity is that these wind kings should not appear in front of him.

He shouldn't have appeared in front of the Eagle Man of the Gray Feather Clan.

Eagle Man is the real king of air combat!

Mupei squeezed his palm into a ring and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing up his cheeks:
"squeak--"

A whistle sounded, like an eagle's cry piercing the sky.

Immediately afterwards, feathers behind Mupe fluttered wildly, and the eagles that were originally flying in the air suddenly scattered like dandelions!

Eagle people have sharp claws on their hands and feet. They are not good at construction, let alone farming.

The reason why they have been able to reproduce until now is because they are natural hunters, good at hunting all living creatures that appear in front of them, and the sky is their absolute home court!

A group of eagle men rushed high into the sky, so fast that even the Wind King couldn't catch up.

When they fly to a high enough height, they flap their wings and dive down rapidly, like a meteor shower!

"Throw—"

At the command, the Wind King's cavalry threw the short spears in their hands.

However, the seemingly dense Eagle Man troops dodged them like dancing. Hundreds of short spears were fired, but not a single Eagle Man was injured!
Enzo is one of the attacking eagle men. As the best hunter in the tribe, he enjoys fighting in the air. What are flying in front of him are not soldiers, but a group of fat ducks waiting to be slaughtered!

“Oh wow wow –!!!”

With a joyful shout, Enzo flapped his wings, dodged a javelin, and swooped down from the air with a steel fork aimed at a wind king!
The cavalryman on the Wind King's back raised his spear, obviously wanting to block, but the blocking range of the spear was too limited for the Wind King's exaggerated body.

When he was about to fly over the head of the Wind King, Enzo flapped his wings and suddenly slowed down his falling momentum. He flew over the cavalryman's head, turned around and stabbed the cavalryman on the back with his fork!
"what!!!"

Screams burst out of the cavalryman's mouth, and blood turned into red mist in the air.

"Hahaha!"

Enzo laughed loudly, picked up the cavalryman with a steel fork, swung the steel fork in a circle, and smashed it towards another Wind King cavalryman.

The Wind King cavalryman who was hit was obviously well-trained. Although he didn't see clearly what was thrown at him at first, he still raised his spear to block it. Until with a "puff" sound, he saw that it was his companion's chest that was pierced. An expression of fear and sadness suddenly appeared on his face. His wrist loosened, and the spear and the corpse rolled down from mid-air!
"Alas--"

Enzo laughed even more happily, then suddenly crossed his knees, and the Wind King whose master he had killed flew past under his feet.

"Loyal beast, you want to avenge your master?" Enzo snorted coldly:
"Then I'll let you go with him!"

Before he finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew behind the Wind King. He grabbed the feathers on the back of the Wind King's neck with his claws, raised the steel fork high in his hand, and stabbed it into the back of the Wind King's head with his arm muscles bulging!

The hard feathers were poked with holes and collapsed, followed by the friction between the muscles and the steel fork. When the sound of bones breaking was heard, blood spurted out like a fountain!
The Wind King is a magical beast after all. The mad giant was twisting and flapping its wings in the air, like a shark struggling madly after being stabbed by a harpoon in the water.

But Enzo's claws were firmly grasping the fur on the back of the Wind King's neck, like a nail firmly nailed on it, and no matter how the Wind King struggled, it did not waver at all.

It was not until the Wind King's claws began to twitch and he could no longer flap his wings that he fell from mid-air.

Enzo pulled the steel fork out from the back of the Wind King's neck, kicked his legs and jumped into the air, flapping his wings and floating up.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen under the Wind King's troops.

"Hehe, a bunch of idiots." Enzo rushed forward with a steel fork. In his opinion, the wind kings' unprotected abdomens were just waiting to be stabbed.

Just as he was about to get close to the Wind King, he suddenly felt the feathers on his body begin to become fluffy, and a hint of fresh scent flowed in the air.

He was too familiar with this smell. Although thunderstorms were not suitable for flying, there were times when he had to go out. Every time he had this premonition, it was when thunder was about to appear!
"Withdraw—"

Enzo let out a loud roar, then flapped his wings and fell rapidly downwards.

A few seconds later, he saw purple lightning condensing on the secondary wings under the ribs of the Wind King, and then under the clear sky, rumbling thunder woven into a river of thunder and flowed out!
His fingertips swept across his forehead, touching a few strands of burnt feathers. Enzo pursed his lips tightly, and a surge of anger rose from his heart.

These damn animals, toys like things, dare to hurt me! ?
The wings vibrated, leaving a phantom behind him. Enzo rushed up high like a barracuda in the sea with a steel fork in his hand, and stabbed the steel fork in his hand into the lower abdomen of a wind king!

Struggles and screams were heard, and the Wind King's four sharp claws scratched frantically, but could not cause any hindrance to Enzo.

He pulled with both arms, opening a bloody wound in the Wind King's abdomen. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and all kinds of internal organs fell out!
The Wind King let out a wail, no longer able to fly, and slowly fell from mid-air!
“Patton——!!!”

Lennon shouted in shock and anger, but he could only watch his comrade falling from mid-air, and he had no idea how to save him.

He rode on the back of the Wind King, looking around, his eyes already filled with grief and anger.

He had never seen the fighting methods of these eagle men before. Their speed when diving from high altitude was difficult to catch. The rapidly falling steel forks could easily tear apart the body of the Wind King, and their sharp claws could cut through the armor of the cavalry with a swing!
One by one, the wind kings fell from the sky, screaming and wailing, leaving behind blood-stained feathers and broken wings.

The cavalrymen died one after another, and some were tossed around like balls.

It is raining from the sky, a bloody rain made up of the remains of the Wind King and the cavalry!
They are the Wind King Brigade, the ace force of the Griffith family. They are invincible in the Principality of Eivor and have never had an opponent!
But now, he has become a target for anyone to play with, like a mouse in the hands of a cat, with no ability to fight back and nowhere to hide.

I can only watch my companions die and wait for death here!
An eagle-man flew past him, and Lennon stabbed it with his gun, but only touched half a feather with the tip of the gun. The other side stabbed him in return with a steel fork, leaving a bloody scar on his shoulder.

The pain fueled Lennon’s rage. He brandished his gun, his voice filled with despair:

"Face me--Face me!!!!!"

……

Chapter 501: A good swimmer drowns in water
"Ka-"

The Wind King beneath him let out a cry, and Banks stroked the back of his partner's neck to soothe her emotions, but his own mood began to become depressed.

The gold-rimmed glasses on his face were blown off in the fierce battle, and a wound appeared on the side of his eyebrow, which looked like a baby's mouth, with sticky hot blood flowing down.

As an orphan, Banks became the commander of the Wind King Brigade after Hoyaz left.

He was also full of confidence and wanted to shine in this battle, and even prepared many tactics for it.

But the reality taught Banks a heavy lesson. He didn't even have time to implement the tactics he had anticipated before they were smashed to pieces by these damn Eagle Men!
These Eagle Men fought without any order, but it made people feel that there were enemies on all sides, and the Wind King's troops were left powerless to fight back.

If that were all, Banks could try to stabilize the formation, retreat for a distance, regroup and then attack again.

But so far, the opponent hasn't tried his best!
The eagle man, who was obviously the leader, still stood in the air with his hands folded across his chest, as if this war had nothing to do with him.

Behind him, there were at least 3000 more Eagle men who had not taken action.

There is no point in fighting this air battle!

Forcefully suppressing his reluctance, Banks grabbed the whistle at his waist, put it to his lips and blew it hard:

"Beep--" The sound pierced the sky and reached the ears of every Wind King cavalryman.

This is the signal to retreat!
The remaining Wind King troops began to try to make an emergency landing and descend to return to the Eagle Army's arrow cover range.

There were 846 Wind King Cavalrymen when they set out, but now less than 600 of them are trying to land!

Banks felt his heart bleeding.

"Go away!"

With a howl, Banks used the spear in his hand to force back an attacking eagle man, and rode the Wind King to rush backwards!

Waving his gun to drive away the two eagle men, Banks looked at the freed Wind King Cavalry and shouted loudly:

“Retreat—”

"Captain!?" The cavalryman's face was covered in blood. He smiled in surprise when he saw Banks, and then a trace of anxiety emerged: "Captain Lennon is still up there!"

"You retreat first, and leave the rest to me!" Banks responded loudly, his sharp eyes fixed on Lennon who was surrounded in mid-air, and he urged the Wind King under him to catch up.

Lennon and his Wind King were covered in blood at this time. They saw Banks flying over from a distance and shouted:

"Don't come over here, just go away!"

Lennon knew very well that the only reason he didn't die was because the other party wanted to play with him, not because he was so strong - now that Banks came, he would have no choice but to die here with him.

Banks heard what Lennon said, but the Eagle Army never abandoned the tradition of its comrades, not to mention that Lennon was a good brother who grew up with him.

He pulled the reins suddenly, and the Wind King under him stood up in the air, flapped its wings, and a storm vortex was launched. A strong wind blew away, knocking over all the eagle men who had gathered around Lennon!
Before we could exchange pleasantries, Banks yelled, “Go!!”

Lennon nodded heavily, took a deep look at the eagle man in the air, pulled the reins and dived down!

Enzo was among the eagle men who were just blown away, and it was actually he who led the siege on Lennon.

He stabilized his body at this time, and when he saw that the prey that was originally in his hands was about to fly away, he suddenly became furious.

Lennon had already fallen off his horse, but Banks was still thinking about rescuing others, so it was relatively easier for him to catch up.

So Enzo raised his steel fork and went straight towards Banks!

The steel fork tore through the air, getting closer and closer to Banks' back.

But at this moment, Banks turned around suddenly as if he had eyes in his back, and thrust the spear in his hand backwards from under his ribs.

The gun blade and the steel fork collided, splashing a streak of fire.

Enzo was shocked. He didn't expect the cavalryman to react so quickly, but he also felt competitive. He retracted the steel fork, flapped his wings, and accelerated to get under the Wind King.

Since the cavalry is difficult to deal with, let's kill this Wind King!
But just as he got under the Wind King, the Wind King moved along with his movements and turned half a circle in the air, causing him to face the knight again!
"Huh?" Enzo's lips curled up with a hint of teasing. He suddenly turned sideways and saw that the knight fell off the back of the Wind King!
At this time, they are still at least 200 meters away from the ground. This human is simply courting death!

However, at this moment, he heard a slight noise, and then suddenly felt his ankle tighten.

Looking down, he saw that Banks had thrown out a rope hook at some point and it was wrapped around his leg.

The body sank suddenly!
"Let go!" Enzo was terrified and waved the steel fork to cut the rope. However, as Banks shook his body violently, the steel fork in his hand could not touch the rope at all.

On the other hand, the length of the rope meant that his steel fork could not reach Banks at all.

Enzo flapped his wings as hard as he could, but he still fell.

"Tsk."

Mupe, who was watching the game from a distance, frowned. Enzo was a young man he was very optimistic about, and it would be a shame to lose him at this time.

Then it flapped its wings and flew towards Enzo and Banks.

However, just as he was about to approach the two, an eagle cry was heard, and Banks' Wind King howled and rushed towards him!

Mu Pei frowned: "Don't know whether to live or die——"

He nimbly moved sideways to avoid the Wind King's attack, and at the same time raised his claws and clamped the Wind King's throat fiercely, tightening his grip!
With a snap, the Wind King's neck was broken, blood splattered in the air, and the headless corpse fell straight to the ground!

At the same time, Enzo saw Mupe coming, which aroused his desire to perform and self-esteem. He wanted to solve this trouble before Mupe took action!

So they flapped their wings and dived downwards, and the two of them formed a yin-yang fish shape in the air, with heads facing feet and feet facing heads.

Enzo pointed the steel fork in his hand at Banks' chest.

"Die to me!!!"

But Banks stretched out his arm to block the path of the steel fork.

With a dull sound, the steel fork pierced Banks' left arm. As the green life force glowed, the muscles in Banks' arm suddenly contracted, clamping the steel fork tightly.

"Finally... I caught you!!!"

Banks screamed in pain, and stretched out his arms that were pierced by the steel fork and suddenly hugged Enzo's legs. At the same time, his legs tightly clamped Enzo's waist, stretched out from under his ribs, and got stuck at the base of his wings!

Enzo was really panicked this time!
He followed Banks and fell to the ground like a stone!
This used to be Enzo's favorite game, falling to the extreme speed and then spreading his wings and flying just before landing.

But now, his wings couldn't flap at all!
Is a dignified eagle man going to fall to his death?!
"Let go, let go!"

Enzo screamed and kicked around with his claws but couldn't hurt Banks at all. His sharp claws tore Banks' legs madly, tearing open his clothes and peeling off pieces of bloody flesh. But the harder he tried, the tighter Banks' legs became!
When it was less than 20 meters from the ground, a torrent of water rushed up into the sky and hit Enzo's back.

To him, it was no different from falling directly to the ground!

The feathers on the wings were torn off, revealing bare skin, and then the skin was torn apart along with the flesh and blood, leaving only the hollow skeleton inside; the clothes and flesh on the back first turned red, and then turned into a purple-black color with the sound of bones cracking, which gave people goose bumps!
"Wow--"

Enzo's shattered internal organs and thick blood gushed out of his mouth. His eyes widened as he came to the end of his life.

He never dreamed that the eagle man, the overlord of the sky, would be killed by water one day!

Enzo's death brought Banks life, and he became Banks' best meat pad.

The impact of the collision was completely absorbed by Enzo. Banks slowly sank in the water column and was pulled out by a strong arm.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Hoyaz asked with concern.

Banks smiled weakly: "I can't die..."

His eyes were fixed on the sky.

At this time, most of the Wind Kings had already escaped from the encirclement and returned, and some Eagle Men were following them, but under the long-range projection of the ground forces, they could not rush down for a while.

"Forget it, don't worry about what's happening on the ground." Seeing Enzo's death, Mupei shook his head slightly. Although it was a bit of a pity, he didn't take it too seriously:

"Hurry up and besiege these wind kings!"

The eagle man who rushed to his side showed an obviously puzzled expression.

Most of the wind kings have fled, and there are only a few dozen left in the sky. They can be easily wiped out.

Mupei emphasized: "I said that we should take our time to besiege these wind kings - they are Raven's ace troops, how can they be so easy to deal with?"

"Oh, okay, I understand!" The eagle man still didn't quite understand, but he also knew that the leader didn't have that much patience, so he immediately nodded and rushed up to pass on the message.

Mupe glanced coldly at Banks who was rescued on the ground.

Although the Eagle People are the overlords of the air, they are not good at ground combat, otherwise they would not be ranked behind the Tiger People and Wild Boar People in the Bloody Roar Province.

Of course, not being good at something doesn't mean you can't fight.

It's just that Mu Pei had to cooperate with Jing Ge out of necessity, and he would not risk his own capital for Jing Ge.

Flapping its wings and slowly rising into the air, Mupei's gaze became profound:

"Next, let me see what you can do——

Jing Ge."
