Chapter 206 205. Fire Skylark
A low-pitched horn sounded on the magic airship. The huge hull was like an ancient beast, and it slammed into the red bird tide head-on. The crew on the airship wiped all the deck and hull as fast as possible. It was covered with a layer of light red, and the remaining dye was also splashed down the hull from the sides of the ship by the crew.
Some passengers on the deck who seemed a bit at a loss were persuaded by the crew to go back to the cabin. The overwhelming bird tide moved very fast like a sandstorm. At the beginning, it was just a faint red line on the clouds in the sky. The red wave has covered a small half of the sky.
The crew has lowered all the sails, and the speed of the airship in the channel gradually slowed down.
Nearly two hundred crew members were standing on the deck in full armor. They carried a shield or an iron pot in one hand, and a short knife in the other. There is only a thin slit in the eyes, and many crew members are standing on both sides of the ship's side, waiting for those birds.
Not long after, there was an urgent knock on the door of the room.
Suldak turned around and opened the door. It was the crew member who had been saved before standing at the door. Seeing Suldak, he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Knight, I am very sorry to disturb you at this time. There is a rare swarm of birds. If there is no need, please stay in the room. In addition, the captain asked us to send a call-up notice. If you are willing to help us resist these fire larks, then we will exempt you from this voyage travel expenses…”
Suldak found that there were many soldiers with weapons standing in the corridor outside the door. They should all accept the invitation of the crew to resist the bird tide outside.
"Are those little red birds outside called fire larks?... Warcraft?" Suldak couldn't help asking.
It was not the crew member who answered Suldak's question, but a blond knight standing behind him. He was wearing silver armor and had gentle eyes. He said to Suldak:
"Well, these fire larks are just ordinary birds. They fly very fast and their beaks are very sharp. They don't have any special abilities. It's just that this is the first time we have seen such a large number of birds. There may be some mutations in the flock. Fire larks, those mutated fire larks are the biggest trouble for us, if they are allowed to attack ships at will, they are likely to break some ropes, which is the biggest trouble for us."
Suldak didn't hesitate, turned around and took down the Roman sword hanging on the wall, and said, "If that's the case, that's good! It's boring to wait in the room anyway, I can try it!"
The crew member hurriedly bowed to Surdak, and thanked him again and again: "Mr. Knight, thank you so much!"
"If you don't have a helmet, I suggest you wear a turban. If you have a mask, those fire larks don't have much attack power, but you need to protect your eyes..." The silver armored knight turned to Sur Duck kindly reminded.
"I will be more careful." Suldak nodded and said.
When he came to the corridor, Suldak realized that more than one crew member was looking for helpers. At this moment, the corridor was already full of fighters, and everyone walked out of the corridor with all kinds of weapons. He found a hood in his pocket and put it on his head, and followed the example of others, wrapping a scarf around his face.
Suldak also found members of the Shining Adventure Group in the crowd. This adventure group has about nine members, three of whom are women.
The Grimm Empire fighters have a wide variety of occupations. Suldak can only tell that one of the three ladies is carrying a bow and arrow, and the other two are wearing sabers around their waists. As for the leader of the Shining Adventures, no As expected, he was a shield warrior. He was tall and tall, and he stood a head taller than the others in the crowd. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at Suldak who was observing him. At a glance, he has very keen intuition.
Suldak nodded slightly to the head of the group, and the head of the group also nodded politely in return.
There were already sporadic fire larks flying over the deck, and they left red lines when they passed in the air. Suldak's eyes chased a few fire larks, but he felt a little difficult. If he didn't pay attention, those fire larks would be will disappear from sight.
Suldak's heart sank slightly. It was obvious that dealing with these fire larks was not as easy as imagined.
At this moment, the entire sky was dyed light red, and the tide of birds, like huge waves dozens of meters high, finally rushed up, making a deafening buzzing sound, and rushing forward densely.
A series of complicated and lengthy incantations sounded above his head.
Suldak couldn't help raising his head, and looked at the roof of the airship behind him, and saw two mages wearing magic robes standing on the roof. At this moment, there were two big fireballs with a diameter of about one meter on their chests. , at the moment when their magic spell ended, two fireballs rolled and flew out in the air, crashing directly into the red wave ahead.
The fire larks that passed through the fireball burst into flames and kept falling from the sky, and the fire ball exploded among the birds about sixty yards away from the airship, and a large piece of fire larks were burned to ashes immediately, but immediately there were people from behind. The Fire Skylark that flew out filled the space.
One, two, three... Countless fire larks finally collided head-on. Due to the dense flock of fire larks, these fire larks kept hitting the hull. The corpse of the fire lark fell on the deck like rain.
The armored sailors standing at the bow held their shields and waved their weapons at the fire larks that kept rushing up. The fire larks hit them at high speed, and some crew members with hoods on their heads The scarves were quickly torn, and then their faces were exposed, and more fire larks rushed up. The crew was caught off guard, and there were bloodstains on their faces, and then there were more and more bloodstains on their faces.
A crew member guarding the left side of the ship's side failed to avoid the fire lark's attack in time, and was blinded by the fire lark's left eye. The fire lark's head was inserted into the crew's eye socket, and the bird's body was still in front of him. 'Puff' flew non-stop, and with the miserable wailing of the crew, the hearts of these fighters standing behind the crew were slightly chilled.
There was no time to think about it at all, countless fire larks rushed over, Suldak held up the blue iris shield and formed a human wall with his companions, and began to eliminate those fire larks that were constantly raging around the magic airship. At the same time that the Roman sword smashed a fire lark, more than a dozen fire larks passed by Suldak's side, and one fire lark left a bloodstain on his face...
