Chapter 104 Aerial Confrontation
After several people were unreasonably shot down by the players, the Eagle Guards finally approached to the appropriate distance and began to fight back.

Unfortunately, their shooting accuracy was questionable while flying at high speeds. Even if they hit the target, those weak arrows could not even penetrate the hard scales on the flying dragon's body.

Instead, the players were even more brave, and they could kill a giant eagle with one arrow at close range. Some players who played the throwing style even threw short spears with great force, directly piercing both the person and the eagle.

Damn, that feels great! "

The player with the id "Da Dao" cheered.

His strength is as high as 17 points, making him a very powerful player. He even specially selected the [Tavern Brawl] expertise just to have fun with high-altitude throwing.

You should know that the giant eagle only has soft feathers suitable for flying, and no hard scales.

"Damn..."

Nellie bit her lip and looked serious.

She witnessed the Eagle Guards falling one after another, and before they could launch any effective counterattack against the enemy, they had already lost as many as ten people.

Even Nellie herself had to make a dangerous side turn to narrowly escape the arrow that was coming at her.

"This can't go on like this."

She acted decisively, raised her Eagle Screaming Sword and shouted, "Northern Wind Eagle Guards, listen up! Get close to the enemy and form a circle!"

The screams of eagles were heard in the sky.

The North Wind Eagle Guards decisively gave up the futile cavalry archery counterattack and quickly approached at all costs, preparing to form a small circle formation of three or four Eagle Guards surrounding a Red Scale Conqueror, using their own mobility and numerical advantages to defeat these tricky enemies one by one.

This is what is stated in the tactical training code of the North Wind Eagle Guards, and it couldn’t be more correct.

Unfortunately, they met their former leader.

——Alger.

As the two were about to engage in close combat, Alger looked up and saw the Eagle Guards surrounding him in groups of two or three. The leader was his former subordinate, Nellie.

"It seems like you've learned it well."

"Nellie."

He recognized this all-too-familiar tactic at a glance.

However, during the time he spent with the players, he was not only teaching the players, but he also learned a lot of new knowledge from them, such as the so-called "energy maneuver" tactics, the mutual conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy, so as to flexibly respond to different air combat situations and maximize combat effectiveness.

The giant eagles are much smaller than the dragon vein giant eagles, but they are faster and more maneuverable.

There were five Eagle Guards flying around Alger, waiting for an opportunity to harass and attack him.

"Iger."

Alger was not at all panicked in the face of the encirclement. He controlled the giant eagle to climb instantly, converted kinetic energy into potential energy, and performed a high-intensity turn in the air, easily getting rid of the Eagle Guards' airtight encirclement.

Nellie stared at the half-dragon, half-human knight with a frown on her face.

"Continue to surround him and don't give him a chance to fight back!"

she shouted.

The giant eagles crossed, turned, and rolled in the air.

Nellie recognized the identity of the half-dragon leader, so she brought five eagle guards to cooperate in the battle, but she still couldn't gain any advantage and was even played around by the opponent in the air.

For some reason, she always felt that the enemy's every move was familiar.

“Why on earth?”

Alger circled to the highest point and was hanging upside down, but he still swooped down on the giant eagle without hesitation.

"Danger!"

Nellie shouted.

The giant dragon eagle drew a graceful arc in the air, swooped down with unstoppable force, and attacked an eagle guard in the encirclement directly from the side.

The speed was so fast that the Eagle Guard didn't even realize the danger was coming.

"Shh-"

With the terrifying speed of the dive, the greatsword burning with blazing flames cleanly cut off the giant eagle's head, and the eagle guard on its back fell down with a wail.

Alger climbed up again, seemingly at a very slow speed, but was preparing for his next thrilling attack.

"Damned dragon minions!" Nellie gritted her teeth, wishing she could chop the ferocious dragon face into pieces.

But she still forced herself to calm down and ordered, "Take advantage of his climbing opportunity to attack! Watch out for his next dive path!"

The Eagle Guards quickly drew their bows and shot arrows.

However, Alger, who was climbing, turned, changed direction, and moved sideways calmly, just like performing a smooth waltz in the air. Although it looked amazing, the arrows shot into the sky were always one step slower than him.

"Iger."

Alger whispered.

The Dragon Vein Giant Eagle understood what it meant and swooped down from the sky again.

Eagle feathers flew, blood splattered, and another Eagle Guard was easily killed.

In front of this half-dragon, half-human Dragon Vein Giant Eagle Knight, the Eagle Guards were like playthings, being toyed around by him at his will.

Nellie was silent for a while before she slowly spoke:
"All of you disperse, let me deal with him."

“I won’t lose again.”

Nellie's dark brown eyes gleamed with determination.

This rare female Eagle Guard did not fall into depression after that unforgettable battle. Instead, she carried the will of her deceased comrades, trained hard time and time again, dived time and time again, and slashed time and time again. She experienced hardships far beyond those of ordinary people, and finally became the only female leader of the North Wind Eagle Guard in a hundred years.

She would never allow what happened five years ago to happen to her again.

Even at the cost of my life!

"Terna"

She whispered the name of her giant eagle partner, then her tone brightened.

"This time I won't—"

"A hasty escape!"

Nellie clamped her legs together, rode the giant eagle into the air, raised the silver sword in her hand, and launched the most direct frontal charge at the terrible enemy.

"Go to hell, dragon minions!"

Alger looked at Nellie who was rushing towards him and muttered to himself:
"Are you challenging me to a duel?"

"Then come."

Alger's eyes also became serious.

He bent his body slightly, tightly gripped the Everburning Greatsword in his hand, and swooped down riding the huge Dragon Vein Giant Eagle.

The distance between the two was a hundred meters.

But it only takes a moment for a flying encounter.

Nellie stared at the charging figure, her heart pounding and sweat dripping from her hand holding the sword. The distance was close enough that she could see every scale on the other person's face.

The half-dragon knight swooped down and swung the flaming greatsword in his hand.

This moment.

Nellie was suddenly startled.

This movement is so familiar, whether it is diving, swinging the sword, or even the crouching posture.

A terrible possibility quickly flashed through her mind - the evil half-dragon, half-human monster in front of her was the captain she once admired.

This is impossible!

No, I'm still fighting!

Nellie quickly came to her senses and tightened her grip on the silver sword.

However, it was this moment of distraction that completely made her lose her final chance of winning.

"Shh-"

Flames filled her vision as the sharp sword mercilessly slashed across her fragile neck.

When the head fell from the sky, there was still a trace of confusion on that beautiful and tough face.
