Chapter 198 Pterosaurs
Ryan and Canossa rushed out the door, and before they saw the monster, they saw a black shadow passing by quickly on the ground.
They looked up suddenly and saw a group of large black birds flying across the sky, estimated to be forty or fifty in number.
"Pterosaur?"
Ryan frowned, he was not unfamiliar with this kind of flying monster.
They have a pair of huge fleshy bat-like wings, tough dark brown skin all over their bodies, and a red crown on their heads that looks like a dragon's horn.
The high-pitched dragon roar was so harsh to the ears that the sound waves even made the straw hut tremble slightly.
Those guys have a wingspan of about ten meters, and the largest ones are more than thirty meters.
Kanosa sensed it for a moment, frowned slightly, and said: "The flying dragons leading the way are level five!"
…
The Kormans
These pterosaurs did cause a lot of trouble and casualties to everyone.
In the beginning, there was no city wall in the territory, and the craftsmen could only dismantle steel plates to build the city wall. However, once they went to build fortifications in an open area, those elusive pterosaurs would descend from the sky, pick up a few people and then fly away.
Their sharp beaks can peck through iron sheets, and their claws can easily grab the cannon barrel and throw it high up, easily destroying houses. When their huge flesh wings are waved, they can also cause wind magic damage like a knife cutting.
Pterosaurs are much weaker in combat than other types of sub-dragons. But they also have a very tricky thing, which is that they can fly. They are extremely flexible in the sky, have excellent eyesight, and are very sensitive to danger. They will deliberately avoid ambushes wherever they are.
Even high-level extraordinary beings are helpless against them.
Also because of the existence of these aerial overlords, the blue-tailed eagles that the Coleman tribe had domesticated were often hunted by them, causing a lot of trouble for the defense of the territory.
This time, this group of guys planned to come to Black Dragon City to hunt again.
Their target, of course, is the humans in the city!
…
Now, as the territory's city defenses are being built day by day, the pterosaurs are coming less and less frequently. I didn't expect them to come again today.
There was thick fog in the sky. The pterosaurs hid in the fog. By the time they were discovered, they had already swooped down, leaving little time for people to hide.
After the alarm, the city was in a state of panic.
"Everyone, please find cover and hide!"
“…”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
In the territory, the sound of gunfire could be heard constantly.
Most muskets are ineffective against these flying monsters. Even if you penetrate their bodies and wings, it is difficult to shoot them down.
The cannons were powerful enough. But because there were no flying machines in this world before, no territory had specially designed any anti-aircraft cannons. Therefore, almost all the cannons on the city walls were built for ground targets, and the upward shooting angle could not hit the black dragon directly above the sky.
And against these flying dragons, muskets were not even as threatening as the Coleman tribe's bows and arrows.
Just as the alarm sounded in the city, the Coleman people in the huts climbed onto the roofs of the huts very experiencedly, each holding a bow and arrow and pointing it toward the sky. Once the group of pterosaurs swooped down, they would surely be hit by a rain of arrows.
They have lived in the forest all year round and have experienced many battles against various monsters, so they are not afraid at all.
In contrast, the craftsmen and mechanical warriors that Ymir brought from Omar seemed a bit "spoiled". They were far behind in terms of combat power and experience in dealing with monster attacks.
Moreover, those pterosaurs seemed to be extremely smart .
After many hunting experiences, these big birds have gained experience. They dare not wreak havoc on the Coleman tribe, but fly directly to the city streets where craftsmen are densely populated.
The air raid came and went very quickly. The group of pterosaurs selected their targets and dived toward the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh… the sound of breaking wind was heard continuously.
Even though there were mechanic warriors led by General Baron on the ground who were defending together, there were more craftsmen who were not specialized in combat. They were participating in the construction, and before they had time to find shelter, the pterosaurs rushed down with a gust of bloody wind.
For a moment, the ground was filled with howling winds, and the wind blades that blew people into a bloody mess made it impossible for the low-level transcendents to stand, and they were in chaos.
Although several of the dozens of pterosaurs were shot down by the wire guns, they also captured more than a dozen people, and more pterosaurs swooped down one after another.
“Ah… help!”
"Someone come and save me..."
“…”
The craftsman who was taken away let out a hysterical scream of fear.
Some people wanted to help, but they were helpless against those big flying birds. On the contrary, because they had "hostages", they didn't even dare to shoot with their muskets.
The high-level extraordinary people on Omar's side took action as much as they could, but they still couldn't take care of them. There were too many of them, and those cunning pterosaurs were very experienced in avoiding the high-level extraordinary people!
Before yesterday, those people who were captured by the pterosaurs would probably have died.
The low-level extraordinary people were helpless and the high-level extraordinary people were too busy to escape.
Panic and despair spread rapidly in the city...
The incident happened suddenly. When Ryan and his companions just left the house, the pterosaur hunting operation was almost over.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a loud and powerful shout was heard.
"Warriors, follow me! Save our friends from the claws of those flying dragons!"
Looking again, Ryan suddenly saw a heroic figure leading the way and rushing out.
It was Wu Duo.
As soon as she finished her words, the Coleman warriors on the roof of the shanty rushed down one by one without hesitation.
…
"Look, it's Coleman's soldiers..."
"They are here to help us..."
“…”
Those frightened craftsmen heard the noise and looked over, each with an incredible expression on their face.
Omar and his people never expected that the Coleman people would take the initiative to help them today.
Before yesterday, there was a rift between the two groups of people in the city, and each of them was cleaning up the snow in front of their own door.
Omar's side had no intention of installing mechanical city defense equipment in the shantytown, and the Coleman warriors had no intention of helping Omar's people out of spite.
But now it’s different!
Yesterday, the chief witch, Marfa, had called all the tribe members to a tribal meeting, and they also knew that Ryan, their closest friend of the Coleman tribe, was the "lord" of the city. Those people from Omar were also friends of Ryan.
Moreover, they also knew that the eldest princess of Omar had been a guest at the home of Elder Udo and Ryan last night and had stayed until dawn. Her friendly behavior was recognized by the Coleman people.
These simple Coleman people don't have complicated thoughts in their minds.
They have bows and javelins against their enemies, and they are loyal to their friends!
…
Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~
The horns of war sounded, and the loud war songs stirred people's hearts.
These are the strongest warriors of the Coleman tribe. They are generally more than three meters tall, have an incredibly long stride, and run extremely fast!
In the blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the opposite block.
Those pterosaurs were originally hunting rampantly in the streets, but when they sensed the danger, they immediately wanted to flap their wings and fly away.
Those that were a little further away flew up, but those that were closer were immediately pierced with holes by the javelins thrown by the Coleman people as they ran.
Several pterosaurs landed on the ground, but more had already taken off into the air.
Pterosaurs are slow when it comes to landing to catch people, but once they fly into the sky, no one can do anything to them!
The group of pterosaurs were frightened and flew up in panic, but several dragons still flew up with more than a dozen craftsmen in their claws.
“Help!”
Ignoring the suffocating feeling of the dragon's claws crushing his chest, the craftsman who was caught and flew away screamed in fear.
Although the mechanical knight on the ground wanted to rescue people, the clumsy mechanical jumping ability was extremely limited, and he could not do anything to the flying dragon that was still flying dozens of meters in the air!
Just when everyone was in despair, these dark brown-skinned Coleman warriors suddenly rushed over. They kicked the ground hard, using the buildings on both sides of the street, and jumped up without hesitation like springboks on a cliff.
Dozens of Coleman warriors stood up one after another and rushed towards the pterosaur that was flapping in the air but had not yet completely flown away.
As everyone was looking on in horror and disbelief, the Coleman warriors showed no fear of life or death. They grabbed the flying dragon's sharp claws, then flipped over and rode on it!
The pterosaur flapped its wings in the sky, spinning and flying backwards in an attempt to throw Soldier Coleman off.
At this moment, they no longer cared about the "prey" they had caught and loosened their claws... The captured craftsmen fell from the air one by one.
"ah……"
With screams, the surviving craftsman was about to fall to the ground and be seriously injured. But at this moment, another group of Coleman warriors riding on magical beasts jumped up and caught them one by one.
…
"Udo!"
Ryan was terrified because on the back of a pterosaur, the girl Wuduo looked fearless and was fighting desperately with the dragon!
The elders did not take action, but watched intently. This is the tradition of the Coleman tribe.
The best warriors must have grown up through the trials of blood.
There was no way to gain leverage in the air, and they could only use less than 30% of their strength. Coleman soldiers were constantly thrown down by the pterosaurs, falling from a height of 100 meters.
As a doctor, Ryan rushed over.
Fortunately, these were the strongest warriors of the tribe, and their bodies were in peak condition. Some of them broke bones when they fell, but none of them were in danger of death.
In just a few breaths, the pterosaurs had already taken off into the air. Knowing that their surprise hunting attempt would fail, they had no intention of staying any longer and wanted to fly away.
However, Udo is still in the sky!
She also rode on the big pterosaur, flying farther and farther!
At this time, the Coleman warriors also mounted their Warcraft mounts and chased after them.
Ryan didn't care about anything else and ran all the way, shouting, "Take me with you!"
A Coleman warrior nearest to him reached out and pulled, and Ryan successfully jumped onto the Warcraft mount and rushed out of the city.
The blue-tailed eagle had already risen into the sky and was following at a distance.
Judging from the appearance of the group of flying dragons, they are probably preparing to return to their nest in the Alcolon Mountains.
Pterosaurs are the masters of the sky and are extremely fast.
"Into the clouds!"
Not long after, Ryan's eyes flashed as he watched the group of pterosaurs fly into the clouds and immediately disappear.
The knights of the Coleman tribe did not stop at all, and climbed up along the foot of the mountain. The dragon's roar and flapping of wings were loud, but they could still find the target, but it was getting farther and farther away.
"That girl..."
A trace of worry flashed across Ryan's face. Wu Duo clearly had the chance to let go and jump down just now... but she didn't.
However, the mountain road was not like flat ground, and it was already very difficult for the Warcraft mounts to climb.
After chasing for several kilometers, they found themselves on a cliff. It was a desolate gravel beach with little vegetation. Looking up, they could see the white blood line, but the pterosaurs had long disappeared.
The thin air made the Warcraft mounts breathe heavily. The canine Warcraft, which was good at tracking smells, found the lingering scent in the air. The group changed another route and continued to search deep into the snow-capped mountains.
"I hope everything is alright..."
Ryan's face was very solemn.
He also didn't expect that Wu Duo, who usually looked quiet and gentle, was actually so fierce and vigorous. He was not inferior to adult warriors in fighting and was even more reckless!
The Warcraft Knights were still running wildly following the scent of the pterosaur, but it was obvious that those running on the ground were much faster than those flying in the sky, and they were getting farther and farther away from Yola.
Just when everyone thought things were going to get worse and worse, there was a sudden turn of events, and they heard a low dragon roar coming through the clouds!
…
"Yeah~"
The dragon's body had not arrived yet, but the sound waves had already rushed out of the clouds, causing the clouds to scatter.
"bow!"
A shout.
All the Coleman warriors raised their bows and arrows, ready to fire in unison.
At this time, suddenly there was another shout from the clouds: "Don't shoot!"
Everyone was delighted. Before they could figure out what was happening, they saw a female knight named Coleman, smiling brightly and with a milky white Turing light on her face, on the back of the flying dragon that flew out of the clouds. She was shouting at them, "Warriors, go back!"
The dozens of Coleman warriors in the row were stunned for a moment, then they understood something and started to chase after them, howling.
Ryan was even more delighted, and exclaimed in his heart: "【Totem of Ten Thousand Beasts】, she tamed that pterosaur!"
