Lux's Farewell

725 [0714] Target: Eight slopes
Badaopo is a place that is not specifically marked on most maps. Even the name Badaopo is a nickname given by the Lithos people based on the continuous hills in the area.

In the northern border, eight is both a number and a meaning of many.

The place name Badaopo not only shows that there are many hills and slopes here, but also shows that this is the intersection of roads.

In Lithos, there has always been a saying that "Sanshui River in three days, and Badaopo in eight days", that is, Sanshui River is three days away from Lithos, and Eight Roads is eight days away.

Among them, Badaopo is about [-] miles away from Lithos City in a straight line. It is a section with a relatively obvious elevation increase, and it takes eight days to go all out; while Sanshui River refers to the Meilan River, the Grand Canal and the Yinlin River. At the confluence of the three rivers, although it is still nearly [-] miles away from Lithos, the [-] miles can be covered in three days because the road is relatively easy to walk.

The complex terrain, coupled with the not too dense but continuous coniferous forests in the hilly area, makes the Badaopo area a place that caravans have never been willing to go, especially after the completion of the Grand Canal and Fossbarrow After the direction can also be taken by water, this place is gradually inaccessible.

From a military point of view, Badaopo is a typical ruin (pi, three tones), that is, a place that is difficult to pass through. If you want to march through here, you must be careful of possible ambushes from all sides, so you should pass as soon as possible. Try not to stagnate and camp here.

However, the Xiongdu Front Army quietly entered Badaopo by marching at night with a lot of long-range weapons and several heavy crossbows, and selected several hills with relatively steep slopes to build their own air defense positions .

That's right, Badaopo is the ambush point chosen by the Xiongdu Front Army.

The Northern Air Force, on the other hand, passed the investigation of the snowy owl and the lock of the high-altitude investigation, and also set its sights on the Badaopo area.

Yuyu clarified the battle plan and also confirmed that Badaopo was the key target of the bombing force.

In other words, both sides in the battle intend to fight a battle that can determine the trend of the war in this ruined place, or in the sky above the ruined place.

From today, this little-known place called Badaopo may be recorded in the annals of history forever.

........................

The sky is not yet clear, the sky is dim, and the stars are still hanging in the sky.

In the darkest moment before dawn, the Northern Air Force acted early in accordance with the combat plan.

The dragon and bird knights tried their best to appease their partners, and whispered in the ears of the dragon and birds to appease their wake-up spirit-although the Northern Air Force had many night combat exercises, although people Can adapt, but Longqin is still very resistant to getting up too early.

Dragon birds that rely heavily on vision to fly have never been very used to moving in the dark.

Dragonbirds have good eyesight, but by "good" I mean they can see far and lock onto targets quickly in good light.

In terms of night vision, dragon birds are not much better than humans.

Therefore, dragon birds have never liked to act in the dark, because in this case, their flight must be carried out completely according to the command of the knight, which is very insecure.

In this case, it is very important to appease Longqin's emotions, especially the leader Longqin Yunling.

Sislia attached herself to Yunling's brain, taking out all kinds of her favorite snacks to tempt her, combing her feathers, and making a lot of promises in a low voice, which made Yunling uneasy. Reluctantly walked out of the nest.

And with Yunling coming out, the following dragons and birds gradually stood up.

After dawdling for a quarter of an hour, the No. [-] Flying Squadron finally officially set off, taking off from the northern city of Lithos.

Under the leadership of Sislia and Yun Ling, the dragon and bird knights of the flight squadron lit up the indicator lights on their bodies, lined up in a single column, and drove towards the southwest under the guidance of the Hex locator.

In the night, the red lights on the dragon and bird knights rose higher and higher, and soon disappeared. Before dawn, this team completely disappeared above the clouds.

After dawn, the Dragon Bird Knights' Second Squadron also took off. However, they did not choose to fly at high altitudes and hide above the clouds like the First Squadron. Instead, they flew towards the intended target in a scouting attitude. Enter on alert.

And after the second flight squadron took off, the bombing formation that had never been dispatched before officially set off for the first time on the North City Building—different from the first two flying squadrons, the bombing formation configuration of the Northern Army was quite special.

Although the air units are still dragon birds, behind them, the dragon bird knights did not wear any armor, did not carry any weapons, but carried a not too big, but tightly wrapped and locked Box securely fastened to the arm belt.

Unlike the light armor of the knights, the dragons and birds in the bombing formation were all wearing special leather armor. The load saved by the knights was all transferred to the defense of the dragons and birds.

Compared with the dragon and bird knights of the flying squadron, the dragon and bird of this bombing formation were quite difficult to take off. When the dragon and bird jumped from the head of Beicheng, they almost fell directly to the ground, often less than ten feet from the ground. In order to turn and start flying upwards.

It took almost an hour for the bombing formation to take off. After they took off, Shivana, who had been on top of Beicheng, simply turned into a dragon, fluttered her wings, and landed far behind the bombing formation.

At this point, the sky finally brightened, and the northern air force was dispatched, divided into four waves before and after, and under the cover of the clouds, they approached the direction of Badaopo both explicitly and secretly.

Yuyu clarifies the plan and officially launches it!
........................

As for Fossbarrow's actions, the Flying Wing Corps and the land-based air defense mixed formation in the temporary camp at Badaopo at this time obviously did not know.

However, even so, when the sun came out, this elite unit drawn from various legions still got up early and began to prepare for possible battles.

Some soldiers went to a nearby stream to fetch water, while the rest were gnawing on dried meat and dry bread weakly in the cold water left in the water bag.

The twenty Lieyang warriors were not in a hurry to eat and drink, but faced the direction of the rising sun and began to pray, praising the sun with emotion.

Because it was an ambush, they couldn't light a fire to cook, and they couldn't set up camps for overnight stay. It can be said that they couldn't eat or sleep well.

Although this air defense wing is clearly worthy of the name of the elite, and it seems that there is no slack in the slightest-but the low morale is still inevitable.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Heya, who was in charge of commanding the air defense wing and serving as the commander, chose to leave the cave that served as a temporary command post, and walked swiftly through the forest, fighting with the soldiers he saw along the way. hello.

Although she is a lady, Heya's style is more heroic than most men. She is not a noble model like Lacus, nor is she a cold-faced commander like Tiana. Heya was once the commander of the private army of the noble Pingze Town. She has always been known for sharing honor and disgrace with soldiers, and is the eldest sister in the camp.

In many ways, she is deliberately imitating Jarvan IV, but her methods are slightly crude due to lack of teaching.

"How did you sleep last night?" She slowly tore the beef jerky into shreds, and casually asked a small group of soldiers from the garrison beside her, "I heard that you were slandering the king's assertion last night? "

"..."

The soldier who was called nodded in embarrassment.

"Then you were overturned when you were still in a big advantage?" Heya stuffed the shredded beef jerky into her mouth, chewed it, and continued vaguely, "If I were you, I can't sleep."

The commander's affability made the soldier feel both awkward and gracious—and what he didn't realize was that his previous nervousness and exhaustion were fading away as the emotion emerged.

Obviously, as a commander, Heya is very good at regulating the emotions of soldiers.

"Starting today, the lure of the Flying Wing Legion will officially begin." Swallowing the beef jerky, Heya finally raised her voice, "The Flying Wings of the barbarians in the North used to get a lot of limelight, and now they are It's our turn!"

The soldiers raised their heads one after another.

"The flying wings of those northern barbarians chose the right place in the past, but this time, it's finally our turn!" Heya continued, "If I don't take this opportunity to completely annihilate this team, then I will really Can't sleep anymore."

A low chuckle begins.

"Do you know why I said that?" Heya didn't seem to care about the laughter of the soldiers, but raised her voice, "Because to be honest, I really envy you bastards."

"I followed His Majesty when I was in Tobysia. At that time, I was a big soldier, and I was still a private army in Pingze Town. I fought a surprise battle with Your Majesty and killed a Noxus. Only joined the reserve of the Fearless Pioneer."

"Later, after your Majesty broke through the enemy's formation during the Battle of Tobyssia, I captured three single Noxus mages and tied them back. Only then did I officially join the Fearless Vanguard."

"In Nashilami, I was the first to climb the city wall, and the first to enter the dragon's lair built by Nashilami!"

As she spoke, He Ya took off the medal from her chest, raised it high above her head, and showed it to everyone.

"In the dragon's lair, I and my comrades left one of the three sub-dragons, so I got this and become your leader!"

"I was born and died in Tobysia to get the opportunity to join the Fearless Pioneer, and to face the dragon in Nashilami to make meritorious deeds, but now, a huge opportunity is in front of you!"

"You lucky bastards don't have to face Yalong directly, you just need to pick up the weapons that have been prepared for you a long time ago, wait until the Winged Legion brings them into your range, and then shoot a volley of arrows, that's all! Establish the same feat as I was sprayed by the dragon fire!"

"I missed this opportunity, can you sleep?"

Heya's words made the soldiers whose morale was somewhat depressed gradually excited.

Just like what she said, when it comes to making meritorious deeds, there seems to be no easier way than this operation. If there is no lure and ambush, it is simply impossible to destroy a dragon and bird knight. Now the sky is big The opportunity was before him, and He Ya even showed his own experience to explain that His Majesty deserves rewards for his merits...

What is it to suffer?
"Eat quickly, pack up your equipment after eating, unload if your stomach is uncomfortable, and plunge into the stream in the south if your head is not clear." Seeing the morale gradually improve, Heya finally put the blue The cloak was put on the shoulders, "When you are ready, raise your head and stare at the sky, the Flying Wing Legion is also staring at this feat!"

"Eat meat or eat shit, it depends on this time!"

The soldiers' emotions were fully mobilized, and suddenly, except for the Lieyang warriors, the movements of their hands were obviously accelerated.

Heya looked around, and although there was a moment of displeasure when she glanced at the Lieyang Warrior, she finally nodded with satisfaction.

"For Demacia!"

........................

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Over the Badaopo ambush point, the dragon and bird knights of the Flying Wing Legion passed by in a low-altitude reconnaissance attitude. The soldiers of the air defense wing ambushing here did not need any urging, and entered the fighting state very consciously. They leaned against each other. On the thick pine trees, through the sparse needles, quietly watching the sky.

At 10:[-], some black spots appeared in the northern sky. The Dragon Bird Knights of the Flying Wing Legion who had passed by here before went back and forth. Behind them, more black spots seemed to be chasing after them.

The soldiers of the air defense wing ambushing here were completely excited.

"I'm so frightened!" Heya reminded loudly, "You are not allowed to shoot in advance, and move only when you hear the sound of the heavy crossbow! The main force of the Flying Wing Legion will wait for the enemy to pass here before they can outflank, so don't worry!"

At the same time, Heya couldn't help raising her head and looked towards the sky.

It's near, it's near!
Through the Hex telescope, she even saw the unique dress of the Dragon Bird Knight in the North, as well as the unconventional orange-red gloves - as long as they get closer and let the lured enemy army fly at low altitude, and enter their own range, these self-conceited The victorious northern traitor will get a taste of the heavy bed crossbow!
Beside her, three heavy-duty bed crossbows that have been assembled and adjusted are already standing almost upright on the crossbow platform made of wood, ready to shoot!
Closer, closer.

Although the hex telescope in Heya's hand does not have a ruler function, after many experiments, she has now touched the doorway of distance measurement. As long as these dragon and bird knights are a few hundred yards closer, the heavy bed crossbow will be ready to launch!

Finally, in Heya's anticipation, his decoy troops lowered their altitude and swept past her air defense positions at low altitude and at full speed.

And less than a hundred yards behind these dragon and bird knights, a squadron of 20 dragon and bird knights is chasing after them—the bait is on the fish!

It's now!

"put!"

hum-

hum-

hum-

A piercing explosion sounded, and the heavy bed crossbow locked on the target was activated.

Among the Northern Air Force chasing after them, one dragon and bird wailed and fell down, and the other was obviously injured. The first shot of the three bed crossbows was quite effective.

"Free fire, free fire!"

Without Heya speaking, the soldiers of the Air Defense Wing opened their bows and arrows one after another, and started shooting freely.

What Heya didn't expect was that these northern air forces didn't panic at all when facing an ambush, but suddenly started to accelerate at a speed that she couldn't imagine.

So fast!

It was as if it had been prepared for a long time!
Then, just when Heya couldn't help frowning, some tiny black spots quietly appeared in the clouds above Badaopo.

The bombing formation hovering above the clouds and waiting for a long time finally locked on to their target.

The heavily armed Dragon Bird folded its vulnerable wings, and while reducing the area of ​​ground firepower, it began to dive at an alarming speed.

At the same time, those riders who had almost completely fixed themselves behind the dragon birds carefully opened the boxes on their chests, and held crystal clear light blue "gems" in their hands.

These gems also have a name.

Faux hex crystal.

　Carya's Small Class Cuscana Dives:

　　The tactical action of the dragon and bird folding its wings, reducing the area covered by firepower, and covering the body with leather armor at high speed is called Kuscana dive.

　　This tactical action was first realized by the former commander of the bombing formation, the retired trainer Kuss, and his dragon and bird Kanna.
