Chapter 106 Counterattack
Da Liang descended from the sky on a royal griffin, and after healing Shu Xiao with magic, he used a "magic arrow" to force back the silver Pegasus knight hero who wanted to kill Shu Xiao.

Behind Da Liang, six griffins in good condition rushed into the air to fight quickly. Their addition filled the defensive loopholes caused by the loss, and at the same time allowed those griffins who had been flying and fighting to retreat a little and recover their strength.

At this time, the "Black Fire" has sailed to the starboard side of the "Skeleton Soldier", which is the periphery of the artillery battle. The tall hull of the "Skeleton Soldier" provides cover for the merchant ship with a slightly weak defense, so that it does not have to worry about it. Baptized by shells.

Five magic mages fought on the top floor of the "Black Fire" ship's poop, throwing magic one by one at the Pegasus knights in the air.

A round of magic attacks killed two more Pegasus knights.

The joining of the new force drove the Pegasus Knights out from the sky above the "Skeleton Soldiers", and the battle reduced the number of Pegasus Knights to thirteen.They dragged their tired bodies and flew towards their own battleships. The continuous flight and the intense battle made these Pegasus unable to take it anymore. They urgently needed to rest and recover their strength. The next battle was very difficult.

Now the comparison of the number of air units on both sides has changed.

The number of griffins in the Black Fire Fleet is eighteen, plus the two Royal Griffin Knights, Da Liang and Shu Xiao, the air power of the Black Fire Fleet faintly exceeds that of the troop escort fleet.It is temporarily impossible for Pegasus Knight to continue to attack the sails of the Black Fire Fleet. Instead, he still has to think about how to resist the Griffin's attack on his own warship.

Now that the sail of the "Skeleton Soldier" is damaged, it will take a little time to raise the topsail of the topmast again, and the troop escort fleet is squeezing over at full speed.Colliding with each other is a disaster for the Blackfyre fleet, and destroying the sails of their flagships is the best way to stop the convoy from approaching.

The ship-to-ship artillery battle is still going on, and the sides where the two sides exchanged fire have been battered and riddled with holes.

On the open deck of the "Skeleton Soldiers", five sailors climbed up the net ladder connected to the top of the middle mast. They wanted to raise the upper sail as soon as possible to let the battleship drive at the speed it should have.In addition, some sailors brought out baskets of sea fish from the cabin, and they grabbed the fish and threw them into the air one by one.Before the fish started to fall, the hungry griffin flew up to catch them in the air and swallowed them in one gulp.

The griffins began to eat, and Da Liang and Shu Xiao landed on the poop platform of the "Skeleton Soldiers", looking at the approaching escort fleet while firing cannons.

On the farther sea, two troop carriers were approaching at full speed.

Da Liang said to Shu Xiao: "The speed of the troop carrier is slow. As long as it is not tied up by the opponent's warship, even if the 'Skeleton Soldier' ​​has fewer sails, they will not be able to catch up. The two-masted fleet is at a disadvantage in terms of size and height. Colliding with the "Skeleton Soldiers" at close range will only break them apart. Only their flagship three-masted warship is a big threat. Now the difficulty is how to make it slow down the ship. If the Griffin is used to attack, the opponent With Pegasus knights and elf archers, we may not be able to achieve our goal even if we all die."

Shu Xiao said: "It's not easy, use fire magic to directly burn their sails. Do you know fire attack magic?"

Da Liang himself did not learn the attack magic of the fire system, but his novice wand has its own magic "fireball", but he shook his head and said, "It's not as easy as you think to destroy the sail. I heard Sidney say that, The sails and hulls of all the ships are treated with anti-magic, and it is difficult for fire-type magic to damage them, and only natural fire can effectively ignite the sails."

"Such a high fire magic resistance?"

"Of course, if the ship's fire magic resistance is not strong, the elves' troop fleet would have set fire to our ship."

"It's not easy to fight." Shu Xiao looked at the enemy's battleship and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to "assassinate" the enemy's sail under heavy protection.An excellent bodyguard needs to have very good reverse thinking ability, they need to often stand in the perspective of a killer to examine whether there are any loopholes in their security measures.

After a while, Shu Xiao said: "For us, the 'Skeleton Soldier' ​​is a key point. If something happens to the 'Skeleton Soldier', our battle will be very passive like this. But against the enemy fleet Said, their key point is actually those two troop carriers. I think there are a lot of unicorns on those two troop carriers. This is why the enemy is eager to fight us. If we don't attack their battleships , but to attack their troop carriers?"

Da Liang followed Shu Xiao's train of thought and said, "If I attack their troop carrier from the air, these elves will definitely feel very uncomfortable. Their Pegasus knights must go to the rescue. These Pegasus knights will lose their weight when they fly on the sea surface for a period of time. The protection of the elf archers on board, if we wipe out their Pegasus knights..."

Shu Xiao said excitedly: "Yes! Eliminating their Pegasus Knights is the real weakness of the enemy fleet. As long as we have absolute air supremacy, we can fight this battle as we like. But... that Silver Pegasus Knight The hero is very powerful, can the two of us beat him? And we can't let the griffin die with them."

Da Liang said: "It's up to people, anyway, we don't have a better way to break the situation. All the griffins are under your command. I will go back to the 'Black Fire' to stop their troop carrier first, and you will follow immediately after the griffins are full." .”

"Understood!" Shu Xiao replied after looking at the griffins fighting for food in flight.

Da Liang rode the Royal Griffon back to the "Black Fire". The three-masted merchant ship slowed down, and after the two fleets that were engaged in firefights passed by, it turned its bow to face the two troop carriers.

Jumping off the royal griffin, Da Liang entered the bridge command position.

"All artillery enters the emplacement!"

The three-masted merchant ship has a total of 20 naval guns, three artillery decks, and ten guns on the left and right sides, concentrated on the belly of the ship.Since the "Black Fire" had to deal with two troop carriers this time, Da Liang knew that he had no experience in naval warfare, so he directly loaded all the artillery with shells, so that he could randomly use the naval guns on both sides during the exchange of fire.

All the naval guns of the "Black Fire" entered the firing position, and the twenty guns on both sides protruded from the gun ports, which looked a bit hideous from a distance.

After the gunners reported that the artillery was in place, Da Liang raised his head and said to the magic mages on the poop: "Vincent, look out for the enemy Pegasus knights. Once they come into your range, attack them with status magic immediately." .”

"Yes, my lord!"
