This was the victory that Yingya Cave had been waiting for for dozens of generations, and it was so hard-won. Even with the tactical advantage, they still lost more than thirty Oeds. The results were also unprecedented. A total of forty-three harpies were killed, which exceeded the previous historical records of Eagle Cliff Cave combined. "You just ran away like that?" Gavin obviously didn't expect the harpies to leave their nest so cleanly. According to his original expectation, they would have to fight at least three or four battles with the harpies and reduce their number to less than one-third before they would abandon their nest and escape. "Their lair, hurry up, raid their lair, it's best to burn it down." Gavin shouted loudly from below. Just to avoid the influence of the harpy's song of temptation, all the Erds plugged their ears tightly and could not hear Gavin's cry at all. Gavin was not the only one who thought of this. As the frontline commander, Captain Zach also thought of this. With a wave of his hand, he took Erd beside him and rushed to the top of Eagle Cliff in a menacing manner. They had wanted to do this for a long, long time. Not many Erds saw Zach's gesture at first, but when he started to fly upward, the remaining Erds instinctively followed him, and soon realized what he wanted to do, and followed him even tighter. Not long after, a raging fire broke out on Eagle Cliff.
Apparently Buck and Gavin thought of going together. Regardless of whether the harpies came back, they would first burn their eyrie. When the Erds who went to Eagle Cliff came back again, in addition to the messy loot, there were eight bird eggs as big as a human head. No need to ask, it must be from the Harpy. Boom! Another dragon roar and drum beating sound came out. Deep in the Yingya cave, you can even feel the shock of dragon roars and war drums. It was as if countless trembling sounds were passing by him. The earth is the surface, the dragon is the skin, Erd is the hammer, and the eagle cliff is the throat. This is not an exaggerated description. But it's real. The Dragon Roar War Drum is located in the middle of the deep cave in Yingya. It is two meters high and five meters in diameter. It was shaped directly out of stone on the ground, and covered with a dragon skin, even though it was a pterosaur skin. If you want to beat this drum, an Erd must rise and fall repeatedly and hit it. After the sound waves came out, they passed through the complex terrain of the Eagle Cliff Cave and expanded, forming a loud noise that confronted the harpy chorus. The reason why the Eagle Cliff Cave has its current structure has a lot to do with this war drum. "Master Patriarch, the war is over, why don't you stop the war drums?" Gavin asked doubtfully. The man who was beating the war drum, Erd, was covered in scars, many of his bones were deformed, and his whole body was covered in blood. Every time he took off, it was extremely difficult. The sound intervals of the war drums became longer and deeper, and they became deeper and deeper.
The Yingya Didong Clan Chief said with a heavy face: "It's not that I don't want to stop, but I can't stop. The Dragon Roar war drum has its own life. Every time it is started, the blood and souls of our tribe must be sacrificed. He has become a part of the war drum." ” Gavin's expression couldn't help but condense when he heard this. He looked at the Erd again. Through the dim light of the fireflies, he saw something different. In fact, that Erd was dead long ago, but was controlled by an invisible force, lifting and falling again and again. Since the leader of the Yingya Didong clan specifically emphasized that the other party had merged with the war drum, it meant that the soul had not entered reincarnation, but had been swallowed up by the dragon's roaring war drum. This is an out-and-out drum of darkness. Over the years, I don’t know how much of Oed’s life essence and soul has been swallowed up. "Clan leader, the trophies are all here." With Buck's return, the bits and pieces that Erd had collected from the eagle's nest were piled together, including the eight harpy eggs. Chief Chester said to Gavin: "Chief Gavin, as we agreed before, these trophies belong to your black well." This was also part of the pre-war agreement between Gavin and Yingya Cave. The military assistance from the Black Well Tribe was not free. Gavin glanced at it without checking it carefully, and nodded to express that he understood, "There is no rush in this matter, the war is not over yet! We must arrange the second round of battlefield as soon as possible, I am afraid that we will face a large-scale counterattack soon. " Buck said in surprise: "After so many were killed at once, those harpies still dare to come back?" "If the queen is left behind in this battle, the remaining harpies may completely escape, or even split into several branches." Gavin said with a serious face, "Although the other party has retreated, the overall situation is not chaotic. Before that queen left, she did not forget to fight back against our pursuers. She was cunning and ruthless in every aspect. I dare to say that she will not give up and will come back soon. " "Come here, we were able to hunt down so many of their tribesmen at once when they were at their peak, which fully proves the feasibility of the tactics. This time we will kill more until we kill them all." Buck was filled with excitement. With confidence. "Do you think those harpies will come back alone next time?" Gavin said with an expression that said, "Don't be too naive." "If they don't come by themselves, how can they bring troops? There is no suitable alliance partner for them nearby." Buck did not turn around for a moment. "Have you forgotten their song of temptation? That is their best attack method, especially their chorus. It has no obvious effect on us because we are prepared in advance. To deal with those unprepared creatures, they only have I don’t think it’s that difficult for them to assemble a motley crew of people whose destiny is being manipulated.” Gavin stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point. "Are they that powerful?" Buck didn't quite believe it. "If they were really that powerful, they would have done this long ago. Why wait until now?" "Before, you didn't slaughter one-third of their population at once, and you didn't push them into panic! Of course, this matter also has elements of my guess, but be careful and you won't make a big mistake. Once we face a double-sided attack from the ground and the air, we will It will be very passive, especially since you have so many entrances, it will be more difficult to defend.” The leader of the Yingya Didong Cave took the first step and said: "Buck, don't argue anymore. Leader Gavin is right. It affects the life and death of the entire tribe. It is always good to be careful. Even if the estimate is wrong, don't do more. "Fortifications." Captain Buck was stunned when he heard this. Indeed, there is no point in arguing about this matter at all. He leaned forward and said: "It is true that there is something wrong with my thinking. Chief Gavin, what do you need me to do?" "Your mission is mainly to fight in the air, count the casualties, reorganize the team, ensure that they can enter a new round of battle as soon as possible, boost morale, and ensure that they will not be caught off guard. It is best to go in the direction where the bird monsters left. "Send more sentries and monitor every move over there." Gavin directly arranged his troops without any humility. Then he turned to Chester and said: "Clan leader, we need to block a lot of entrances to the ground, especially some passages that are useless for the war. All of them will be blocked." "I will organize manpower immediately." The leader of the Yingya Cave said with confidence, "If a new round of attacks does come from the ground, Leader Gavin does not need to worry too much. Our cave has at least three lines of defense, which can resist the defense in sequence. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for the charming mob to break through.” Gavin took a long breath and said, "That's the best. I hope I'm just over-worrying about everything." Now, everyone in Yingya Cave recognized Gavin's military capabilities from top to bottom. He deserves the most credit for their brilliant results today. Without his psychic spells and the interlocking tactics he planned, they would never have been able to kill so many harpies. Therefore, Chester and Buck attached great importance to Gavin's speculation. Some unnecessary holes were blocked overnight, and Detective Oed even released three of them.
Soon, the Erd sentry came back with news, confirming that Gavin's speculation was not just a mere speculation. Those harpies did not simply withdraw, but under the leadership of the harpy queen, they frantically performed dances of temptation and songs of temptation everywhere. It is difficult for unsuspecting creatures to resist, and they are attacked one after another. In one night, they gathered a motley army of thousands of various creatures and marched towards the Yingya Cave in a mighty manner. This miscellaneous army really lives up to its name. There were both green-skinned goblins and brown kobolds, wild boars, bison, and blue sheep. Groups of wild wolves were mixed in among them. There were even two trolls and a dozen hobgoblins, all of whom were blind-eyed. , staggering toward the Yingya cave. Only the harpy can combine so many creatures with its unique abilities. Gavin emphasized the tactics to Buck again, "The ground troops are only auxiliary, the focus is still on the air combat. Remember, to capture the thief, you must capture the king. If you capture the queen, the rest will collapse without a fight. If we can't defeat her, even if we win this game, it will only be a small victory, and there will be a lot of trouble waiting for us in the future. " "I understand." Buck nodded solemnly, "No matter what, this time, I will twist off the head of the Harpy Queen." "Do your best." The only thing Gavin could do was pat Buck on the shoulder and cheer him up. The air combat was beyond his capabilities. He couldn't provide them with more help. The rest could only be watched by them. By myself. This time, the harpies are on guard, and what awaits them will be a tough battle. As expected, the Harpy also adjusted its tactics this time and was ready for a head-on confrontation. After Erd attacked in the Eagle Cliff Cave, Song of Temptation didn't even try. He directly chased Erd and launched the most intense aerial melee. They want speed and lethality, at least enough to deal with Erd. The only flaw is that the number is relatively small, with only sixty or seventy harpies left. The Oeds from the Yingya Cave also came out in full force, numbering more than three hundred. This time, they did not dodge and use caves to fight guerrillas as before. Instead, they gathered behind Buck and rushed towards the harpy. Just an aerial charge. Eighteen Harpies were hit on the spot, and were knocked unconscious by the special operations team surrounding Buck. The surrounding Erds immediately swarmed up. This time, they didn't even use the fishing net. They stabbed her crazily with their own small daggers, while dragging her arms or legs and falling to the ground. The surrounding harpies tried to rescue, but more psychic bullets were fired out, and more Erds surrounded him. The Yingya Cave side also began to fight desperately, fighting a war of attrition regardless of the cost, and Ords fell in pieces. After only two rounds of bombardment, most of the guards around the Harpy Queen disappeared, exposing her to the army of Ede. Chirp! The Harpy Queen roared, and rushed forward instead of retreating, rushing towards Buck and the others, obviously very confident in her fighting ability. At the same time, she was full of contempt for the mind bullets. She had tasted the taste of that spell herself, and the effect was just so-so, and it could not pose a fatal threat to her. Buck and his attempts once again confirmed this point. Three consecutive mind bullets, only one hit the Harpy Queen.
As a result, the opponent just shook his head for a while, and before they rushed close, he had recovered and started a crazy killing. As soon as he got started, he disabled two Ede who rushed too close. Buck was also targeted by the Harpy Queen, and he flapped his wings and pounced on him. Buck fired another mind bullet, turned around and ran away. This mental bullet also took effect, temporarily slowing down the speed of the Harpy Queen's pursuit, allowing the two sides to further distance themselves. The Harpy Queen held on tightly. The entire air battle became bloody and hot. There were many Harpies who were stabbed to death by the Erds with daggers, but the number was small. Most of the Erds chose to drag the Harpies to the ground, but before they landed, most of them woke up. Without the restriction of the net, these Harpies would not die obediently, and they fought back crazily, scratching and scratching. But those Erds, one by one, held an arm or a leg, and refused to let go, and the other hand kept stabbing with a small dagger. Some broke free and were stabbed with blood. Some were injured in the wings of the eagles and had to fall down. Another part fell to the ground together with the Erd who was holding her, and both were injured. Many of the harpies did not fall to death, and the erdes who were holding her never got up again. Buck, who was chased by the harpy queen and had nowhere to go, tried the same trick again and tried to get into the dog hole of Eagle Cliff. The harpy queen was not willing to do what he wanted. The blood on her wings became more intense, and her speed increased by one section out of thin air. She took a step ahead of Buck and blocked the dog hole not far away, showing her four claws and waiting for Buck to come to her. The harpy queen turned around again, and what she saw was not despair and fear, but a trace of pride of success. Is this a trap? The harpy queen looked back suddenly, and there was an ordinary dog-headed man standing there. The only difference was that his eyes were not gray-brown, but azure blue, and there was azure blue light flashing in them. Then the harpy queen felt a sting in her brain again, and she felt dizzy for a while. When she came to her senses, a sturdy figure had already pounced on her back, tearing, scratching and biting wildly. Kobolds? No, Kobolds don't have such sharp claws. Every time they strike, it hurts so much. The two blood feathers on the entire back are about to be torn apart. Wolf? No, their claws can't be so curved that they can pierce into her chest firmly. No matter how she shakes, she can't get rid of them.
