Chapter 157 - Wu Qiao’s Gifts

Boom, boom, boom…

Bang, bang, bang…

Due to the remote barrage of cannons and snipers and the poisonous fog that Gongsun Sheng released, the Eagle Men suffered a heavy loss and had to retreat after the battle began!

“Shielders, keep up and maintain the formation. Don’t show any flaws. Be wary of the enemy’s traps and counterattacks!”

Human beings had advantages, but they pushed on steadily and maintained their formation without being reckless at all.

Even the black-armored wolf riders that charged forward earlier way too ahead of the main troop were only just a test.

The attitude of human beings’ leadership towards the Eagle Men had always been to respect the enemy but not to be feared by the enemy.

As it turned out, pressing forward steadily was undoubtedly the right decision.

Having destroyed three alien species in total, the Eagle Men were only second to human beings, and they definitely had their ways to counterattack.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

While human beings pushed forward and were halfway to the Eagle Men’s settlement, some dark shadows flew out of their nests on the mountaintop.

There were ten “Golden Condors”, twice as many as had been seen in these days, and they were grabbing the Eagle Men that were covered in green lights and holding different weapons.

Those Golden Condors weren’t large or strong enough to carry passengers, but the green lights on the Eagle Men and their weapons could reduce and even nullify their weight, so those Eagle Men had turned into an air unit with those Golden Condors!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After those airborne Eagle Men showed up, they simply launched rune arrows that were covered in green or golden lights at the human beings down below!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

The simple green light arrows couldn’t penetrate the mahogany shields and the soft gold helmets at the same time, but they were strengthened by gravity after falling for hundreds of meters!

Pew!

A soldier who was holding a shield was hit by an arrow that fell from the sky. He immediately collapsed even though he was at Ordinary Rank-9!

Clearly, all those Eagle Men were Extraordinary warriors.

After they took part in the battle, human beings stopped pushing forward instantly.

Compared to human beings whose main forces were on the ground, the Eagle Men had the critical air superiority.

“Zhou! Zhou! Zhou!”

Besides, the Eagle Men who had been retreating the whole time suddenly went on a rampage too!

Green lights emerged on a lot of Eagle Men. There were as many Extraordinary members among them as there were among human beings!

Also, apart from the arrow attacks, they carried out various other methods!

For example, they rolled rocks that were ablaze with black flames to the narrow mountain path, creating a fiery area that human beings could hardly cross.

Also, they set up some traps on the path that looked exactly the same as regular rocks but would turn into red magma when stepped upon!

Furthermore, there was the colorless poisonous smoke that smelled like weird fragrant flowers but would actually make the creatures hallucinate!

Of course, the Eagle Men abandoned such poisonous smoke after releasing it only one time.

It was because the poisonous smoke was blown back to the Eagle Men’s own positions when a certain Perfect hero pointed his Mirage Dragon Sword at it, which caused some of the Eagle Men to hallucinate and attack their comrades.

Then, the Eagle Men’s commander realized that it was really a stupid move.

“Don’t panic! Maintain the formation!”

Qin Yueyu’s short hair fluttered as she dodged a green light arrow from the enemy. She roared while she shot an arrow back.

As one of the two best players among the second batch of newcomers, and as the former national champion in archery, she was actually quite frustrated that she didn’t get a talent after spending a month in the game.

While some people might be depressed by their failure and never rise again, some people would reflect on themselves and try to do better.

When Qin Yueyu was offline, she asked the specialists and looked for archery tactics in a real battle and their countermeasures. After she returned online, not only did she practice archery harder, but she also spent a tremendous amount of time guiding the soldiers and teaching them how to deal with arrows!

Her efforts had paid back in this battle. Otherwise, some soldiers would’ve been overwhelmed by the Eagle Men’s airstrike and their rampant attacks!

More importantly, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had discussed the Eagle Men’s possible air superiority before the battle.

In particular, when Ji Ye killed the Commander Eagle Man with a sniper rifle, he found that the Eagle Man seemed to be able to gather wings with green lights on them. That information prompted the Twin Dragon Mount fort into thinking what they should do to cope with that.

Obviously, it was impossible for the snipers to attack the Eagle Men’s “air forces”, because shooting on the ground and shooting up to the sky were completely different.

The Eagle Men had clearly taken the shooting range of the human beings’ sniper rifles into consideration. While they couldn’t fly too high because the green lights on their arrows had a limited range, the flying Eagle Men were still under a much less threat from the snipers.

However, the Frost Metal Cannons could still hit them!

“Let me!”

Ling Zhen personally controlled a Frost Metal Cannon!

Because he had spent too much time on forging the cannons, he hadn’t reached Extraordinary Rank-5 yet.

However, since he had been personally involved in the construction of every Frost Metal Cannon in Twin Dragon Mount fort, he could easily control those cannons to fire cannonballs that were more powerful than Extraordinary Rank-5!

Boom!

A cannonball was launched to the sky and hit the Golden Condor that was behind an Eagle Man who was drawing his bow and aiming his target.

Then, a mass of flames burst out, consuming both of them and making them fall!

Boom!

Apart from Ling Zhen, there was another person who hit the flying Eagle Men with a Frost Metal Cannon!

She was Wu Qiao, a beta tester!

As a beta tester who passed the trial, Wu Qiao had reactivated her talent.

Although its rating had been lowered from Excellent to Superior, it was still a powerful talent!

Through this talent, she could change the trajectory of her target by physical or even eye contact.

The deviation couldn’t be too huge, and it couldn’t work on living creatures, but it was good enough to make a cannonball draw a precise curve in the sky and hit a Golden Condor!

Only the Golden Condor was hit, because the Eagle Man reacted very fast. He seemed to have inferred the trajectory of the cannonball in a certain way and left the Golden Condor before the cannonball hit the target.

Then, he gathered a pair of wings that were made of green lights and therefore didn’t fall from the sky!
