"Confirmed, it's the Portland Republic's flying dragon knights, at the four o'clock direction, four in number! Suspected to be an aerial reconnaissance unit."
Li Muxin put down the telescope and gestured to Lin Mo, then said, "Engage or evade!"
Since they were now in the same boat, it was natural to consider each other's well-being, especially since Lin Mo was not only the future breadwinner for the two sisters but also their protector. Being hunted by people from another world, the feeling of being the enemy of the world was like a nightmare, just thinking about it made one shudder.
"Take them down!"
Li Mubing was eager to try, adjusting the special white light aiming scope on her Type 95 assault rifle, which could increase the accuracy of the bullet to 600 meters.
Fear comes from the unknown. Since she and her sister had jointly killed a flying dragon knight, it was as if they had lifted the veil of mystery from the enemy. The terrifying flying dragon no longer had the same visual impact and shock as when they first saw it.
"Charlie, disperse the crowd, get them to hide in the houses, don't run around on the streets. If necessary, kill!"
Lin Mo's experience in a special operations unit in another world made him know how to handle the current situation. He had already regarded these flying dragon knights as terrorists, and in fact, there was not much difference between the two.
Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, four flying dragons flapped their wings and flew swiftly over the town of Cedar, the sky suddenly darkening as the dragon shadows passed over. The town erupted in screams, the panicked civilians thinking they were under attack.
The massive air currents created by the flying dragons' flapping wings stirred up dust on the ground, and the arrogant screams of the flying dragon knights quickly faded away. The mobility of the air knights was indeed something the ground forces could hardly match.
The black stallion beside Lin Mo snorted and twisted its neck restlessly, its hooves stomping the ground. If not for the tight reins, it might have been frightened away by the flying dragons that had just passed overhead. As a pampered warhorse of the Bart family, it had never seen such terrifying flying beasts.
"Major Li Muxin, you and Major Li Mubing go to the mill on the east side of the town and set up a sniper position! I'll handle this here! Maintain communication!"
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Mo decisively mounted his horse, patted the agitated steed, and spurred it forward. The black stallion dashed out like a rabbit.
As a true knight, horsemanship was a required skill. Before signing a contract with a dragon, Lin Mo's mount was still a warhorse.
"Go!"
Li Muxin and Li Mubing exchanged a glance, raised their guns, and immediately began moving along the walls of nearby buildings toward the mill. The mill, built from large, rough stones, was not much to look at from the outside but was a first-class fortress.
The alternating cover tactics of the two women intrigued the town guard soldiers like Charlie, who had never seen such a way of moving. Perhaps only experienced hunters could discern some of the nuances.
The subconscious movements of the Gemini sisters were probably meaningless here, just a habit, but it did no harm.
"Damn it, what are you waiting for, do as the adult said!"
Charlie suddenly realized and hurriedly pushed and urged his colleagues. Even though he was just a low-ranking soldier, he now acted as if he were the captain of the town guard.
After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to the thief they had just beaten, "I'll let you off this time, but we'll settle this later. Of course, if you're still alive, now get lost and find a place to hide."
Charlie's fierce appearance made the unfortunate thief shudder, and he scrambled into a nearby alley, probably not daring to wander the streets again.
"Damn it, all of you get inside, no running around, or I'll kill you!"
"Get back inside, no coming out, get in the house, the knight has ordered, those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"Hey! You, I'm talking to you, fool, find a house to hide in, or I won't be lenient if I see you again."
"Get inside, get inside, don't wait for the Portland people to cut off your heads, I'll chop you first."
The town guard soldiers, emboldened by their authority, began to drive the people running around the streets, punching and kicking without mercy. As a result, the panicked civilians finally came to their senses and rushed into nearby houses.
The four flying dragons swept across the town from east to west, then split into two groups and began a wide turn outside the town, lowering their altitude as if preparing for another low-altitude dive.
The flying dragon knight Eroca and his wind dragon Gris were unexpectedly killed by Lin Mo and his companions in the Green Mist Forest. The vanguard ground forces of the Portland Republic only realized they had lost a flying dragon knight two days after losing contact.
The other flying dragon knights of the vanguard soon found Eroca and Gris's bodies in the Green Mist Forest and came to the eastern border town of the Sylan Empire with a vengeance.
"Dragon General, initiate custom target, create new category, Animal Kingdom, Vertebrate Phylum, Reptilia Class, Small Dragon Order, Flying Dragon Family, Fire and Wind Subfamilies, start manual recognition, 3 o'clock direction, left Fire Subfamily 1, right Wind Subfamily 1, 9 o'clock direction, left Wind Subfamily 1, right Fire Subfamily 1, activate dynamic locking module, IFF identification defines enemy target, weapon and mobility attributes pending, other parameters pending, warning distance set to 200 meters!"
While urging his warhorse, Lin Mo quickly issued voice commands. The display on the "Dragon General" tactical helmet's visor kept switching interfaces, starting the first update of the military database for the flying dragons of this world. This fully equipped "Dragon General" second-generation land and air dual-use digital tactical armor was originally a custom Alpha development version made by the Henghai War Defense Manufacturing Plant specifically for him, with all control and management permissions set to the highest level, allowing for custom programming and system upgrades at any time. Adding a new unit was no problem at all.
The reconnaissance and tracking system built into the "Dragon General" tactical armor began to lock onto the four flying dragons in the sky, continuously collecting various data to help the user and the developer design targeted tactics for the enemy's new combat platform. However, Henghai War Defense could not set up an after-sales service point in this world, so many functions were rendered useless.
A flying dragon knight scanned the town below with eagle-like eyes. The reaction of the townspeople was somewhat unexpected; after a brief chaos, they quickly and wisely hid in their houses.
"Gus, fireball!" He patted the fire dragon under him and drew a large bow from his side.
"Ao ge ge..."
Flapping its powerful scaly wings, the flying dragon let out a series of loud calls, then opened its mouth and spat out a red fireball the size of a human head, which shot through the sky like a meteor and crashed into the roof of a low house.
Boom!~
A burst of sparks and rising smoke tore through the thick white grass on the roof. The civilian family inside screamed and ran out, fleeing to nearby areas.
The dry grass scattered with the fire ignited nearby houses, and several thatched-roof houses caught fire, the flames quickly spreading, as if a arsonist was at work.
"Ha ha ha, well done, Gus!"
The flying dragon knight laughed heartily, already nocking a three-edged armor-piercing heavy arrow on his large bow, drawing the string and preparing to fire.
He would not waste the expensive heavy arrows on these lowly civilians but was waiting for more valuable targets to appear in his line of sight.
"Captain Duber, look, there's a knight in the town!"
Beside him, another wind dragon knight, Zora, pointed to a certain area in the town.
A knight in black heavy armor was riding a black warhorse, galloping through the town, leaving a long trail of dust behind, making him very conspicuous.
"That's Eroca's air rider's large bow, it's him!"
The "Flash Spirit" air rider squad leader Duber, riding a fire dragon, had sharp eyes and could still recognize the large bow slung diagonally on the back of the black knight from over a hundred meters away. The large bow was the standard issue for the air rider units of the Portland Republic.
