Limited Free Chapter 0275: The Kingdom of the Harpy

The battle with the winged lions was actually more like a game!

The two sides did not fight to the death.

The floating warships tried to maintain a thick defensive light film, flying evenly in the dazzling witchcraft sky, moving away from the hunting area of ​​the winged lions little by little.

The adult winged lions seemed to be just training the young winged lions to fly and hunt. Although they would fiercely attack the defensive light film from time to time, more often they would just circle around the floating warships, constantly roaring and intimidating.

The two sides fought and fled. When the floating warships quickly flew over a rushing river, the winged lions stopped chasing, hovered in the air and roared a few times, and finally turned around and returned the same way.

It can be seen that this small river more than ten meters wide should be the dividing line between them and another group of monsters. Once they cross the border, they will probably directly provoke a bloody war between the two groups of monsters!

After the floating warship got rid of the winged lion's entanglement, it finally began to slowly speed up and continued to travel quickly through the black forest along a fixed route.

According to the wizards of the Silver Alliance, the floating warship will soon come into contact with the first dangerous place in this voyage - the harpy's nest.

To be honest, when Grimm first heard that the first dangerous place's gatekeeper boss was a weak harpy, he almost popped his eyes.

How is this possible?

In his impression, this kind of harpy with a woman's head, but a vulture-like body, wings and claws, is simply a low-level monster that can be killed by a witchcraft fireball. How can it be a dangerous place on the route that can pass the winged lion and the hill giant!

Obviously, many wizards have the same questions as Grimm.

So, the Silver Alliance wizard simply explained to them some knowledge about the harpy.

Yes, most of the harpy groups that wizards encounter in the wild are indeed very weak and extremely weak. One of the main reasons for this is that the harpy colonies near human settlements are too small.

Those harpy colonies with only a hundred people can be wiped out by ordinary mercenaries and adventurer teams, let alone wizards, as long as they are well-equipped and well-prepared.

Because most of these colonies are low-level harpies who have not mastered any witchcraft power. They have almost no other skills except throwing stones and grabbing the spears made of wooden sticks with their claws to dive and attack.

But the harpy colony also has a significant feature.

Once the number of colonies exceeds 500, harpy witches who have mastered witchcraft power will be born. Their feathers fall off in a large area. Except for the wings behind and the claws on the lower limbs, which still maintain the vulture shape, their torsos and heads are becoming more and more like human women.

And once the number of colonies exceeds 1000, a terrible witch leader will be born among the harpy witches. This is a powerful spellcaster that is no weaker than a human female wizard, and also has the agility of an assassin.

As for the harpy group they are about to encounter, it is a large tribe with more than 10,000 members. Therefore, the number of special witches born in it has reached an astonishing nearly 1,000.

Nearly 1,000 harpy witches with agile bodies and spellcasting abilities, such a large team is a force that cannot be underestimated wherever it is placed. Even powerful monsters like winged lions dare not easily provoke groups of harpy witches, otherwise they will be drowned by the opponent's saliva in minutes.

So what is blocking them is not a harpy group at all, but a terrible harpy kingdom! Not only does it have highly intelligent monster leaders, but it also has a small army with a complete distribution of professions and levels covering several low, medium and high levels.

This also means that they have commanders, spellcasters, and a huge number of ordinary warriors. So every time a floating battleship passes here, it means an adventure.

However, although the dangerous place is dangerous, as long as everyone works together, they can still pass it smoothly, which is much better than forcing their way into the surrounding deadly places!

At this moment, the floating battleship has penetrated deep into the Black Forest for 100,000 miles. In such an area, if you leave the inherent channel at will, you may break into the territory of one or a group of level 3 monsters. With their strength, once they encounter the attack of level 3 monsters, the chance of escaping successfully is almost zero.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, there have been three consecutive tragic events in which the floating battleship was shot down by level 3 monsters and all the wizards on board were killed. Although the Silver Alliance also sent top wizards to retaliate afterwards and strangled the troublesome level 3 monsters together, the wizards who had already died could only die in vain!

Therefore, even though it was known that the Harpy Kingdom was not weak, in order to avoid those more terrifying level 3 monsters, the Silver Alliance's channel could only choose to move along the edge of the Harpy Kingdom.

…………

Three days later.

The first fierce battle after Grimm stepped on the floating warship broke out in an unexpected encounter!

They were unlucky to run into a hunting team sent by the harpies.

It was a small team of only 30 people, most of whom were ordinary harpies. There were only two mutant harpies, one was a harpy assassin and the other was a low-level harpy witch.

This group of ungrateful guys, who were obviously weak in their own strength, dared to take the initiative to block the way and provoke the floating warship. As a result, most of them were killed by a volley of wizards. But unfortunately, the two mutant banshees still escaped successfully.

So the next afternoon, the floating warship was surrounded by the harpy army that rushed over in a canyon!

The floating warship, wrapped in a thick defensive light film, moved forward with difficulty.

Outside the egg-shaped light film, the airtight harpies circled and flew around, and the piercing screams could almost break people's eardrums.

Most harpies do not have elemental abilities. They flapped their gray wings, holding a sharpened wooden spear tightly in their claws, and kept stabbing at the defensive light film. Such a low-quality attack may be useful against ordinary beasts, but it is a bit unsatisfactory to use it against the defensive magic array.

So nearly a thousand harpies attacked for a long time, but only caused the defensive light film to ripple like raindrops, consuming some of the energy stored on the spacecraft. As for breaking the defensive magic array, there was not even a hint of it!

However, hidden among the harpies in the sky, there were some mutated special individuals.

Most harpies have gray feathers, ugly and ferocious looks, and have far more bird features than human features. Those mutated individuals have lost the bird feathers on their torsos, and only retain some blue bird feathers on their joints, armpits, and the ends of some limbs.

Their skin is white and delicate, their body lines are slender, their chests are full and bulging, and their faces are also unusually exquisite and perfect. However, their pupils are as red as blood, their fingers are sharp and curved, and they have a pair of sharp claws under their white and plump thighs.

Seriously speaking, if you ignore those annoying wings and ugly claws, these harpy witches can be called relatively perfect humanoid creatures!

As far as Grimm knows, there seem to be some harpy witches with mixed bloodlines who have joined the local wizard organization in the Wizard Association on the East Coast. Those are all mixed-blood offspring born from the combination of human wizards and harpy witches.

Of course, this also preliminarily proves that some human wizards really have a heavy taste!

In order to drive away the harpies and prevent them from further destroying the defense formation of the floating warship, the wizards standing on the side of the ship attacked vigorously. Colorful magic exploded around the spaceship like fireworks, wrapping the harpies into the elemental vortex.

The blizzard that covered half of the sky raged among the harpies, and the biting cold wind coated each harpy caught in it with a layer of light blue frost. Countless harpies flapped their short gray wings vigorously, but felt that their wings were getting heavier and heavier.

Finally, one by one, the harpies screamed and fell from the sky.

Although they would regain their flying ability in a short time after escaping from the blizzard. However, the appearance of this blizzard still disrupted their offensive rhythm and made the harpies' team chaotic.

Not far from Grimm, a wind element wizard released a large area of ​​wind magic. The originally transparent and unobstructed sky suddenly became full of dangers, with invisible wind vortices densely spread there. Any harpy who suddenly broke into this area would be twisted into pieces of blood and flesh in a whirling wind vortex, raising a foul blood mist on the spot.

As for Grimm, he did not use the magic puppet, nor did he transform into a fire demon. Instead, he took out the flame scepter and behaved like a conventional fire element wizard, casting fire magic in a methodical manner.

On the one hand, he kept chanting spells, chanting obscure and difficult witchcraft spells loudly and powerfully, and summoned a sky-high red flame column in the sky in front of him. Powerful flame ripples were excited from the red flame column in circles, and every harpy caught in it would fall from the sky with a charred body even if it was not burned to death for a while.

The feathers on their bodies were all burned to pieces. Ordinary harpies are not capable of flying with bare flesh wings.

While continuing to guide the large-scale fire magic, Grimm stood upright, his eyes burning with flames, and from time to time he shot out a series of scorching rays with extremely strong penetrating power.

To deal with this kind of harpy witch without a thick body and solid scales, using Yangyan rays is too extravagant. The second-rate scorching rays are enough!

The scorching rays like laser beams shot randomly, and every harpy whose body was penetrated by the red rays would fall down with a shrill wail. While falling, gray-black ripples would also appear on their bodies.

If the scorching rays just now did not hit the vital points to kill them, the poison from the voodoo scroll would instantly take their lives.

For a while, the bird feathers around the floating battleship were scattered, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The harpies were actually massacred by wizards! chapter;
