Rout
"Adjust... prepare... release!"
As the thirty-six magic crossbow bolts rained down from the sky once more, the mockery on the faces of the Gray Dwarf Bandit standing on the deck gradually subsided.
Because they suddenly realized that these Magic Airship were hovering at a height that their ballistae could never reach...
Few of the magic crossbow bolts hit the Three-Masted Sailboat in this volley, but the accuracy of the ballistae on the Magic Airship continued to improve, and Roy showed no intention of holding back, with the third volley almost immediately following.
This time, Roy equipped the Half-Elf Warrior with Flame Burst Crossbows. One after another, the crossbow bolts began to explode on the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' Three-Masted Sailboat, and the flames instantly ignited the sails on the ship. The Gray Dwarf Bandit hurriedly lowered the sails and kept pouring water on the fire.
Some of the Gray Dwarf Bandit standing on the deck even pointed at the Magic Airship hovering in the sky and shouted angrily:
"Can anyone tell me what that thing in the sky is...?"
The core manufacturing technology for the Floating Device and Propulsion Device on the Magic Airship was essentially entirely in the hands of the dwarves. The Gray Dwarf Bandit certainly recognized the Magic Airship, but they were also well aware that the proud elves were resistant to this goblin technology.
Now that nine Magic Airship have suddenly appeared in the elven army, the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' sailing fleet is unable to mount an effective counterattack. This means that until they withdraw from this naval battle, the sailing fleet can only be passively attacked.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit standing on the deck were filled with despair, and some Gray Dwarf captains tried to sail away...
However, these Three-Masted Sailboat were packed together very tightly, and their bows were all facing the direction of Aio Island. If they wanted to disperse, some of the sailing ships could only move closer to Aio Island and make some space, and only then would the Three-Masted Sailboat have a chance to disperse.
To the complete surprise of the Gray Dwarf Bandit, the magical crossbow bolts rained down on the Three-Masted Sailboat relentlessly, as if they were free...
Many Three-Masted Sailboat were engulfed in flames, and some had their hulls pierced by Three-Masted Sailboat bolts, with seawater continuously pouring in from the bottom...
Some knights and officers from the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knight Order rode their Silver Pegasus and landed on the decks of the Magic Airship, while the other Silver Pegasus knights surrounded the nine Magic Airship.
These Silver Pegasus Knights recognized Miss Christine and, after hearing her explanation, learned that the fleet of Magic Airship had been transferred from the Pattington Plane by Earl Swynborne, and that the Half-Elf Warrior on board belonged to the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment.
Many Silver Moon Elf Officer had never even heard of Roy's name...
The Silver Moon Elf Warrior on the Aio Island stood on the edge of a cliff, watching helplessly as nine Magic Airship descended from the clouds, followed by a continuous barrage of crossbow bolts fired from the Magic Airship ...
These crossbow bolts set fire to many Three-Masted Sailboat, leaving the Gray Dwarf Bandit hopping mad on the decks.
Many of the Gray Dwarf Bandit on the deck were injured by the magic bolts that were thrown down. Even though they were wearing Full Coverage Heavy Armor, they were still burned by the flames within the blast radius of the Flame Burst bolts.
What terrified the Gray Dwarf Bandit most was the continuous firing of magical bolts from the Shipborne Ballista on these Magic Airship.
These magical crossbow bolts, when they landed on the Three-Masted Sailboat, weren't aimed at maximizing their destructive power, but rather at destroying the Three-Masted Sailboat as much as possible...
Realizing they couldn't stay put and take the beating, the Gray Dwarf Bandit immediately steered their Three-Masted Sailboat to scatter in different directions.
However, they were a little too late; the Magic Airship hadn't stopped firing since it started firing the first volley of magic crossbow bolts.
The Silver Moon Elf Warrior stood on the cliffs of Aio Island, excitedly raising their weapons and cheering loudly.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit also possessed Magic Airship, but these Magic Airship never appeared in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
The reason is simple: the Gray Dwarf Bandit have no way to gain air superiority over the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
If they dare to fly their Magic Airship into the airspace of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, they will be met with relentless attacks from the Silver Pegasus Legion. These Magic Airship can only fly at high speeds within the Wind Stream Layer. Once they leave the Wind Stream Layer, their flight speed is comparable to that of a snail, and they float in the air, where they can only passively take hits from the Silver Pegasus Knights.
Moreover, these Magic Airship have a fatal weakness: their Floating Device are extremely fragile. Unfortunately, each Magic Airship requires at least twelve Floating Device to be installed on both sides of its hull.
Destroying these Floating Device is also quite simple. The Floating Device are covered with various runes, and if an Fletched Arrow Floating Device one of them and damages some of the runes, it could potentially stop the Floating Device from operating.
If more than four of the Floating Device malfunction or break down, the Magic Airship risks crashing from the sky...
That's why the Gray Dwarf Bandit dared not send the Magic Airship into the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
More than a hundred Three-Masted Sailboat, at least half of them, were completely destroyed in the waters surrounding Aio Island due to the relentless bombardment by Roy's magical crossbow bolts.
The remaining Three-Masted Sailboat that managed to break through also knew how far they could go.
Although the Silver Pegasus Knights lack the ability to fight Three-Masted Sailboat head-on, they are capable of chasing Gray Dwarf Bandit Gray Dwarf Bandit sea, even driving them back into the territory of the Silver Pegasus Orcs.
In just one naval battle, Roy emptied all the magic crossbow bolts from the Magic Airship, and even Roy the Wooden Box containing the bolts into the sea.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit fled Aio Island in their Three-Masted Sailboat, and in the process, many of the ships sank into the sea.
The gray Gray Dwarf Bandit Gray Dwarf Bandit on the sunken ship jumped into the turbulent sea. The Dwarven Bandit were fairly good swimmers, but they had to remove their Bucket Helmet and heavy armor before falling into the water, otherwise they would sink to the bottom of the dark abyss within seconds once they entered the sea...
The Gray Dwarf Bandit decisively abandoned some of the badly damaged Three-Masted Sailboat, and some Gray Dwarf who had fallen into the water even began to wait for the Silver Moon Elf to rescue them at sea.
With the sudden appearance of the Magic Airship, the defeat of the Gray Dwarf Bandit fleet was inevitable.
The local Silver Moon Elf fleet, which had been waiting at the exit of Ram Horn Fjord, began to slowly head towards Aio Island.
Just an hour ago, Viscount Philek was in great distress, thinking he might die for the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom in this naval battle...
He stood on the deck, cursing Earl Stas hundreds of times in his heart.
To his surprise, this naval battle, which was clearly a suicide Gray Dwarf Bandit, was overwhelmed by the air fleet of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion before it even began.
The intense feeling of surviving a disaster made his legs go weak, and he collapsed onto the deck.
The wounds on his body from being whipped with a rattan cane had not healed, and he would feel intense pain every time he made a large movement...
Viscount Philek could not contain his excitement. He raised his flag high and ordered the captain of the medium-sized sailing ship to sail at full speed into Aio Island.
Earl McCauley, who was also on the ship, looked at the fleet in the sky in astonishment and couldn't help but ask the adjutant standing beside him, "Where did those fleets come from? Did you receive any news?"
"I just received a message from Earl Swynborne. Those magical sailing ships belong to the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Army of the Pattington Plane. Earl Swynborne has transferred the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment here. The Mine Guard Regiment has Magic Airship, and they were only a step behind the messenger," the adjutant whispered, following behind Earl McCauley.
"The Mine Guard Army? The Half-Elf Guard Regiment formed by that Half-Elf boy named ' Roy '?" Earl McCauley asked, frowning.
"That's him!" the adjutant nodded repeatedly.
"Just a few days ago Buenos City were still discussing his persecution of a descendant of a Silvermoon Elven Nobles. Recently, Bu Lade and Ke Leiwen went to the Pagisto Plateau to rob someone's mine. Now it seems they really shouldn't have gone to the Pagisto Plateau so rashly. Is that guy Kampferfred blind?"
Earl McCauley stood on the Ship Building and couldn't help but curse.
After cursing a few times, he felt the medium-sized sailboat beneath his feet begin to head towards Aio Island, and then said to his lieutenant:
"Let's go see what else we can get on the battlefield. It seems that the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' Three-Masted Sailboat have a clear advantage over medium-sized sailing ships."
Roy's Magic Airship did not crash into the sea to clean up the battlefield. After emptying all the Magic Airship crossbow bolts from the airship, Roy hovered it at a relatively safe height.
The medium-sized sailboats that had sailed out of Ram Horn Fjord quickly entered this area of water, Silver Moon Elf Hand Net to retrieve the Gray Dwarf Bandit floating on the surface of the sea.
Some of the Gray Dwarf Bandit realized the situation was dire and immediately plunged into the sea, hoping to escape using their excellent swimming skills.
Miss Christine rode her Silver Pegasus and flew directly to Aio Island.
"Boss Roy, shall we go down and collect some spoils?" the Half-Elf captain in charge of piloting the Magic Airship couldn't help but ask.
Roy shook his head and said with a smile:
"No need! What's rightfully ours will be handed over without hesitation, and what's not rightfully ours, even if we get it, we'll have to give it back later..."
