Chapter 51: 50. Storm Cavalry Assault

50. Storm Cavalry Assault

Wendes pulled on the reins, and the griffin's shrill cry echoed across the deck. As a magical beast favored by the wind, it took flight with a single beat of its wings, carrying Wendes away from the deck at high speed and into the sky.

Winders rotated the Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd. As the blade moved, a cyan hurricane that seemed substantial generated beside him. The magic within was thick, with thunder faintly appearing.

Thunder sounds appear when the supernatural magic dimension rubs against the material world. This phenomenon is common in the Magic Disaster Airspace or when a powerhouse of the Exalted Realm exerts full force.

The massive amount of magic faintly wore down the barrier between the two dimensions, and the piercing thunder made ordinary people terrified.

The imperial soldiers who had been standing behind Winders became panicked and squeezed to one side of the deck.

The Griffin under Winders was also creating a whirlwind. It flapped its wings, constantly fusing the magic whirlwind with the hurricane of the Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd, while the Wind-Gathering Gloves on Winders' hands further strengthened this effect.

The ancient holy relic called the Wind-Chaser Holy Bell was pulling a large amount of magic for him that could easily be converted into a storm. His magic reserves were sufficient. Before long, several cyan-black Heavenly Demon Hurricanes formed in the air outside the magic airship. They seemed to swallow all the surrounding light, and the clear sky in the morning looked like it was covered by dark clouds.

If these winds hit the magic airship, the surface defense of the Transcendent Realm would disintegrate in no time, and then it would turn into scrap metal in the hurricane.

"Whoa, Rank 7 equipment is truly powerful."

Lancelot sighed and asked Li Ang: "You provoked him directly, and he used his full strength. Is there no problem?"

"Precisely because it's him, whatever he does is useless. Don't move, listen to my instructions."

The several hurricanes outside the ship blew the airflow at the entrance of the shipping lane into chaos. Many airships couldn't maintain their hovering state, and the imperial warship under their feet was also drifting into the Ignis Airspace.

Winders' red hair was tied in a ponytail, flying wildly in the air; he truly had a bit of a demon god temperament.

He raised the Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd, and a magic hurricane that was tightly wound and spinning rapidly twisted like a whip, about to be lashed toward the deck by him.

An officer hurriedly shouted: "Lord Finat, please show mercy—"

In the face of powerful supernatural power, ordinary local soldiers had no way to imagine how to deal with it and could only beg.

"Tsk, cowards."

Winders retracted the hurricane and swept the long halberd. The wild wind around him descended on the deck together. They stood upright and swirled, not destroying the deck, but destroying all the turrets, instruments, decorations, and railings on the surface.

Several Heavenly Demon Hurricanes surrounded Li Ang and Lancelot, forming a wind formation, restricting their movements.

The Earth Snake, under Li Ang's instruction, coiled on the connecting cable between the ship's body and the suspension device. Its defense was still in the Transcendent Realm, so it could hide from the wild wind that restrained it.

Above the sky, Winders held the long halberd and dived rapidly while riding the Griffin.

Lancelot held a sword in his left hand and a gun in his right. As his sword swung, it pulled magic to shape multiple blades floating around the sword body. Driven by magic, they twisted toward the hurricane, while simultaneously coordinating with the rapid-fire flame bullets of the magic ammunition gun to destroy a hurricane rolling toward the two.

But there was only time to perform such an action before Winders was already close by. It was obvious that when the impact arrived, they would be subjected to the dual attack of his heavy halberd and the whirlwind sweeping beside it, bringing devastating physical and magical damage.

The silver armor of the Order of Sky Knights on Lancelot's body circulated magic, constructing layers upon layers of metallic magic barriers on the surface. Visually, the young man was wrapped in flowing silver metal, becoming a silver-armored knight with a slightly inhuman feel.

While thinking about the direction to dodge, he prepared for the impact.

"Half a step to the right rear, then one step to the right." Li Ang said suddenly.

Lancelot immediately moved his position. He had just reached the position when the Griffin's black wings brushed past his eyes, and Winders' halberd blade also pulled a metal destruction mark on the deck. He used the force of the impact to fly back to the high sky on the other side of the ship, dragging a thunderous whirlwind behind him.

"Dodged? Why!"

Lancelot looked at Li Ang, who was standing at the same point, in surprise.

"This set of moves of his was originally summarized by me, so I know exactly where the shortcomings are."

Looking at the airspace, Winders' Rank 6 Lancer was indeed a strong person; otherwise, no matter how rich he was, he wouldn't have been able to enter a top-tier regiment.

But there is a gap between people of the same rank.

This person had good talent. Relying on a good background, he received training from a young age and used various precious materials to nourish his body, reaching Rank 6 in magic control. However, in terms of combat thinking, there was still a lot of room for improvement, and the professional skills he understood couldn't be considered many; many were practiced naturally relying on his background.

However, he always felt that he was powerful enough, and with family financial support, he stopped making progress.

It was mainly because his regiment contribution was too much that Rams kept him. But if one held a pile of top-tier equipment and couldn't exert combat power, Li Ang couldn't stand it, so he almost forced him to learn this ultimate—Storm Cavalry Assault—which combined his own professional advantages with equipment, energy sources, and summons.

Use equipment to create highly destructive hurricanes to form a wind formation. Some enemies would be defeated in the first wave of hurricanes, while stronger enemies would be trapped by the wind.

At this time, charge while riding the Griffin, trigger the hurricane to attack together at the moment of impact, then fly into the sky to avoid counterattacks, and follow up with subsequent collisions after circling.

This was the ultimate idea Li Ang organized for him.

Winders didn't need to do anything troublesome. In team battles, just honestly hit where he was told to hit; otherwise, just focus on self-preservation—Li Ang basically fed him the meal.

So he also knew best where the weakness of this move was.

The wind formation was released, Winders didn't understand exquisite magic control and couldn't drive the direction of the hurricane, so there would be gaps between them.

At the same time, the angle at which the leader-level Griffin could attack after circling was also limited.

The intersection of the gap in the wind formation and the Griffin's attack blind spot was the absolute safe position, which Li Ang could calculate the moment Winders launched the charge.

"Next, turn backward, take two steps back, four steps to the upper right."

Li Ang walked to the position leisurely, and Lancelot followed closely behind.

Winders' charge brushed past them again, and he let out a roar on the Griffin's saddle.

Li Ang asked the Order Sky Knight beside him: "It's about this rhythm, do you understand?"

"Understood." Lancelot nodded.

"He will return for five more charges. After that, the magic in the several hurricanes will fuse, producing a high-energy explosion wind group here. The power is still not small, so you must knock him off the Griffin within five times."

"Rest assured, as long as the standing point is safe, although my destructive power is not high enough, at most twice... no, twice, I will definitely pull him down."

"I will buff you."

Winders' third charge struck. Lancelot reached the new safe point. The magic of the standard energy source surged into the magic gun, and dense flame bullets shot out like raindrops, pulling out a curtain of fire in front of the charge path.

The Lancer swung the heavy halberd forward to shatter the flame bullets, so the charge momentum decreased sharply. Lancelot stood firmly, exerted force from his waist, and the short sword slashed rapidly. Multiple blades, with the help of Winders' own collision force, slashed his chest continuously.

The beautiful Skywalker Battle Armor was wrapped in an invisible substantial air shield. The blade slashes made muffled sounds and didn't break the defense.

Winders rushed into the sky, circled, and prepared to launch the fourth attack.

This time, he also realized that he might not be able to win. He mobilized his magic with all his might as if he were desperate. The Wind-Chaser Holy Bell hanging at his waist shone with cyan light, as bright as the morning star in the dim sky.

The Griffin dived down, and the thick magic in front rotated into a drill-like destructive wind pressure.

Li Ang shouted to the Holy Snake: "Xiao An, Gem Ray! Fire!"

The Earth Snake, which could already understand human language, had its star eyes flash. Red, blue, and green gemstone light bloomed with cross light, and the gemstone energy bands flickered rapidly. In the dim sky, the scorching red flame light around its body scared the soldiers on the deck to retreat in a panic.

"Die, you two bastards!"

Winders' roar and the Griffin's screech accompanied the thunder and wind, arriving in an instant. Li Ang put a spirituality activation on Lancelot, and his whole body's spirituality surged and grew. The flame barrage was dense like rain, continuously weakening the whirlwind in front of the Griffin, but it was still a bit short.

On the connecting cable to the side, the gemstone on the Earth Snake's energy-conducting crest flickered in synchronization. A crimson cross star light cut through the gloom and collided with the charging Griffin. It refracted the magic into flame energy. No matter how agile the wind element was, it was burned out by the flames in an instant.

Although this was a weakened Star Soul attack, the Creation Equation seemed to provide endless energy. The Exalted air shield created by Winders' Rank 7 wind-type equipment was worn down bit by bit, burning out several gaps, and he himself was forced to be unable to sit steadily by the high temperature and shock wave.

Lancelot's multiple blades followed one after another. With the buff spell, the number of his blades doubled, and he stacked more than a dozen slashes in an instant, slashing the red-haired man off the saddle. He fell to the deck with a face-plant, and the Heavenly Demon Hurricane he controlled weakened instantly.

The flame ray swept across the deck. The hurricane that lost support no longer had the power to shake the barrier between the magic and material dimensions and was ignited, weakened, and scattered by the fire flow.

The gemstone ray converged, and the residual flames were blown away by the high-altitude wild wind. The Holy Snake's crown hissed and emitted heat due to the high temperature.

Winders' hair tips were scorched in many places. Although the equipment was fine, the surface was smoked quite a bit.

Even his Griffin didn't fly into the sky, rolling several times on the deck. A lot of its feathers were burned, and the previous fierce momentum was no longer there.

Lancelot sheathed his sword and walked toward Winders, who was lying on the ground, laughing: "Your summon is too fierce, right? My Pterosaur is embarrassed to be released."

Winders propped himself up, was tied up by Lancelot, and his expression changed drastically.

"Bastard! You can't arrest me! I'm here because I'm an imperial person in the first place! It has nothing to do with the regiment!"

"Got it, got it, talk slowly when we get back."

Lancelot had long been used to criminals who quibbled when arrested.

He smiled at Li Ang: "Phew, a close call."

When his words reached the end, a roar of engines approached from below in the air. The suspension device above a magic airship suddenly lifted upward across the edge of the ship's side. After the deck was level, it was full of fully armed soldiers waiting in battle array.

Among them were several strong people wearing Transcendent equipment with magic rhythms around their bodies.

"Why are there reinforcements?" Lancelot sighed: "The strongest is already here; no matter how many come, it's useless, just purely tiring me out."

Winders said: "Below is my family's territory. We are about to ally with other lords and become a backbone force for the empire's rise! The empire doesn't just have ordinary soldiers. Do you know what you are about to face?!"

Li Ang said: "You are a top-tier regiment member but believe the empire can rise. What power have they mastered?"

Winders hummed twice and didn't speak.

Looking down from the ship's side, one could see that they were currently hovering over a large island. The layout of its edge area showed that this was a bustling airport.

"It's Spark Port; we drifted here," Lancelot said: "During the battle just now, this guy was deliberately using wind to push us into the Ignis Airspace."

"So it is."

Winders blew a whistle, and his Griffin and the soldiers on the side ship launched an attack together.

Lancelot threw out the Demon-Sealing Cage. This metal ball, which looked like a sachet, sprayed magic smoke, and a large Pterosaur with a wingspan of about ten meters and covered in cyan feathers flapped its wings and flew out, fighting with the Griffin.

The Earth Snake swam down from the connecting cable and broke into the battlefield fiercely.

Li Ang stepped forward to help the young man hold Winders down, his hand quickly wiping across the latter's waist.

"I'll hold him down, you go." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
