There are no such things as griffins in the wizarding land, but before leaving, the wizard masters had told them about the intelligence of several special military regiments in the empire, and the Griffin Knights was one of them.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Hami shouted loudly, and his deputy immediately turned the direction of the airship and fled towards the kingdom, and pressed the optical invisibility button as soon as possible.
A spherical shield immediately appeared around the airship, and the huge airship quickly disappeared in a distorted light.
The griffins following behind all let out sharp howls, but they did not run around in a panic as Hami had expected because they had lost their target. Instead, they sped up again and surrounded him in a very orderly circle, more than twice as fast as before...
"Damn, these guys are too difficult to deal with. Even my invisibility can't fool them!" Hami cursed inwardly.
He had only a limited understanding of griffins and didn't know that these magical creatures had a very high sense of smell and could even smell the blood of their prey from several kilometers away. Simply disappearing from sight would not cause much of a hindrance to them, not to mention being invisible right in front of them...
However, it cannot be blamed on Hami and others for not being cautious enough. Although the polarization magic on the airship is useful, it consumes a lot of magic power to hide such a huge thing, so it can only be used at critical times! Considering that they may need to stay in the outside world for two or three months, the pilots usually save as much as possible on magic crystals. It is impossible for them to be so extravagant as to use the invisibility magic all the time to perform missions!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry..." Hami and the others raced against time and quickly pulled the joystick to the maximum. After the huge airship completed the difficult change of direction, a large amount of magic power was converted into hydrogen, and the internal combustion engine ran at full power! The rest of the crew members clenched their guns, but they were too far away and did not fire rashly.
The speed of the airship was getting faster and faster. The Griffin Knights, who had already closed the distance and were even vaguely surrounding it, were surprised to find that this huge thing that looked like an airship had actually exploded at a speed that exceeded the speed of the Griffin flying through the air...
Devi, the captain of the Griffin Knights, also did not expect this. In his opinion, such a huge alchemical instrument should run slowly, but the speed of the airship was unexpectedly fast...
If this continues, they will have no choice but to watch the other party slip away right under their noses...
Devi's eyes were very cold and stern. From this brief contact, he had already listed this strange alchemical creation as a major threat that must be eliminated!
Devi knew very well how much a flying object that could carry people, was invisible, and was extremely fast could play a role in war! He had to keep the other party! And it would be best if he could intercept this alchemical creation as intact as possible!
Thinking of this, Devi immediately lowered his head and communicated with the griffin under him, roughly estimating the direction and distance of both parties. Northeast direction, about 600 meters away! This is a height that a bow and arrow cannot reach, but Devi is full of confidence, because before becoming a griffin knight... he was a clergyman! ...
"Fortunately we ran fast!" Seeing the airship rushing out of the enemy's encirclement at a very fast speed, Hami and others all breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
Even though they had already prepared to sacrifice themselves, if they could escape, no one would think that they lived too long...
As long as they run farther away and the other party loses their position, they will be completely safe.
The crew members present also relaxed.
The deputy who was always keeping an eye on the enemy's movements felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and then he rushed towards Hami without hesitation and pressed him into the cabin.
The huge airship shook violently, smashing the baffle on one side to pieces.
Except for Hami and the deputy who were pinned down in advance, the rest of the pilots were thrown out by the impact and hit the cabin wall heavily...
However, before they could recover, the second wave of attacks arrived again! "Praise [Aila] - Holy Light Impact!"
Devi and several other griffin knights, who were also clergymen, shouted loudly again, and strong waves of light arrived in an instant, hitting various parts of the cockpit.
Even though special materials were used to build the airships, and each airship had alchemical arrays such as [Toughness], [Solidification], [Lightness], and [Windproof], they could not withstand the continuous bombardment of divine spells.
If Devi and others had not wanted to intercept this strange alchemical creation intact, the airship would have been shot down long ago.
But even so, under the second wave of attack, the aerospace airship was seriously damaged and its speed was becoming slower and slower.
"Damn it, the propeller outside must be broken!" Hami's eyes were red. Having studied the structure of airships, he naturally knew what this meant. Without power, it meant that they had lost hope of escaping...
"Everyone, since these bastards won't leave us a way to live, then we have no choice but to fight them!" Hami turned his head and looked at the people present, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Fight them!" "Kill one and you'll win, kill two and you'll win!"
The pilots, gunners, and observers present all shouted in unison, with a look of determination on their faces. The lives of these civilians were very cheap, and no one would care about their lives on weekdays, but it was different in Yieta. They could exchange it for ten magic gold coins! This was enough!
If we can kill a few more enemies, it would be a huge profit!
After shouting, Hami and the others stopped dodging and instead picked up their muskets and shot at the rapidly approaching griffin knights...
Soon, the sound of gunfire rang out from a thousand meters in the sky. Since it was the first time for the Griffin Knights to face muskets, they were not prepared for this strange weapon. Several griffins were shot at once...
However, their results were very pitiful. As the leader among the monsters, the griffin had very strong vitality. Unless it was hit in the head directly or hit by several musket shots in succession, it was far from being fatal...
A very courageous griffin knight rushed forward first, relying on his exquisite flying skills and an unpredictable flight route. Luckily, he avoided the first round of shooting, and before the next round of ammunition was loaded, he had already flown to the front of the aerospace airship.
