Despite their throwing distance also reaching beyond 800 meters, their javelins did not have the fletching of arrows, which extended the attack range by lofting shots in an arc; their attack this round was aimed directly into the air.
Originally, upon sensing a threat to their most crucial Mage Corps, the airborne Pegasus Knights and Magic Eagle Knight Legions had immediately reacted. A full twenty thousand-strong air force, with an unparalleled momentum, descended from the sky, heading straight for the direction of Qin City's walls. They believed that as long as they wiped out these archers, their mages would no longer face any threats.
However, Gerard, the Holy Pegasus Knight, had not communicated with the Dragon Clan as before; if he had known what the Dragon Clan encountered after entering Qin City from above, he would never have rushed to give the order to attack from the air.
