Chapter 549: The Beginning of Dragon Crazy(1/2)
ps: (Background bgm of this chapter: liberato)
Half an hour ago, the Supreme Forest.
A griffin knight is cruising over this forbidden land.
The history of the High Forest can be traced back to the early days of the world, when elves, giants and dragons ruled a continent covered in green.
This forest is home to all woodland races, including arakorans, centaurs, drow, gnolls, gnomes, centaurs, high elves, moon elves, pixies, satyrs, treants, and wild elves.
But now, with the collapse of the Ellan Elf Empire and the withdrawal of the high elves, in this ancient forest, only the crazy tree people, the all-devouring trolls, the demons and the whole world wandering around the Hell Gate Castle are left.
Tian clamored for the drow to counterattack the mainland.
This is precisely why even though Zelandia is so powerful today, it still has not tried to conquer this forest with countless resources.
It's so complex and dangerous that even slimes' mobile dream nets can't be laid in it.
Whether it is the crazy tree people who are extremely sensitive to all organic life or the trolls who eat everything, they are all interested in these soft little creatures.
Levi was naturally reluctant to let the half-elf rangers go into this dangerous forest as 'consumables', so this hard work naturally fell on the shoulders of the griffin knights.
'Ah, is it finally almost time for shift handover?'
The gryphon knight took out his pocket watch with frost-covered hands and opened it. He glanced at the family photo on the cover of the watch out of habit, carefully wiped off the ice crystals on it, and then asked in the Monternet encrypted channel.
"This is Jiu-517. Hello, why don't you guys go to the tavern to have a drink to warm your stomach?"
"No, today is the winter feast. I have to accompany my wife when I return from work. Otherwise, this year will be the beginning of a nightmare."
"Also, the pubs outside are very expensive now. It's better to go home. The situation is getting more and more difficult. I also want to save some money for my children to go to law school next year."
"Fuck! You stingy bastards! You might as well go home early." The griffon knight shook his head and cursed with a smile.
The channel fell into silence again.
In this extremely cold weather, cruising high in the sky on a griffin is no easy task.
Even though the Demonic Research Institute has repeatedly strengthened the cold protection work of their gryphon knights, the kind of coldness and loneliness that penetrates the soul without seeing a single person in the field of vision all year round is destined to be a job that ordinary people are not qualified for.
Such an ordinary job every day for ten years
But just as he was finally approaching the handover time, he suddenly noticed the firelight coming from the depths of the Supreme Forest.
He sensed the danger at the first moment, but still drove his tired mount forward resolutely without any hesitation.
This is their duty as the Griffin Patrol.
Then, he saw the flames, blazing flames that were enough to set the entire Supreme Forest on fire.
At the end of the flames, there was an extremely huge portal, like a creeping crack, like the eye of the abyss staring at him in the night.
An army of demons like a tidal wave is rushing out of this 'Eye of the Abyss'.
And the flames that ignited the forest were the work of these demons:
The demons need to clear out more open space to leave a foothold for the subsequent army.
Although this griffin knight had heard of a brief demonic invasion in Cormanthor, he never imagined that twenty years later, he would actually witness such a scene and witness these burning demons.
All the demons will appear in their hometown
They must be stopped!
"Call the relay station! This is Jiu-517, uh"
But just when he was about to report the abnormality to his comrades,
A sound of breaking wind came, and the gryphon that sat down immediately let out a wail.
He stared in astonishment at the frightening hole under his chest and abdomen where blood and blood clots were constantly flowing out. When he sat down, the wings of the gryphon became weak when he sat down.
He suddenly raised his head and saw several vulture-like vultures flying out of the forest at some point in front of him. They held corrosion spears in their hands and smiled cruelly at him.
At this time, a response came from the spell communication channel:
"Call Jiu-517, this is the main relay station, please continue reporting."
"Vulture-517 received it! There is an abnormality in the Supreme Forest! It is the gate of the abyss! Please convey it immediately!"
"The relay station has received it, please return immediately!"
Then another anxious voice broke in:
"This is 286. I have been ordered to take over from you and continue the cruise mission? Please return immediately!"
The griffin knight only felt that the heat in his body was being rapidly drained with the loss of blood? He answered while stabilizing the griffin, which was also going into a frenzy due to the same trauma:
"I received it from Jiu-517. I can no longer return. Do you continue to move forward? Repeat? You continue to move forward? Be sure to take the message out!"
As he spoke, he let go of the communicator, which had become noisy in the channel, and took out a powerful healing potion from his pocket. However, he did not choose to inject himself, but instead plunged it into the neck of the sitting griffin.
.
He deeply understood his situation at this moment. With his mount already severely damaged, even if he abandoned his mount and parachuted into this forest filled with demons, nothing would change the outcome.
Instead of doing this, why not do something more meaningful!
"'Silly Dog'? Let's go!"
He slapped the mount's butt hard, then took off all the storm lances from behind and tucked them under his arm.
"Chirp!"
This griffin, which was also severely injured, avoided several fatal spell projections with its erratic posture. Following the will of its partner, it resolutely dived towards the purple 'Eye of the Abyss'.
Like a moth to the flame.
After a while, a gust of wind blew in the Supreme Forest.
The snowflakes on the branches fluttered down.
Only the silent and creeping 'Eye of the Abyss' still stands, staring at the wilderness in the north and the bustling white city behind it.
Deep in the White City Treasury, the entire prosperous underground palace is like an uninhabited ruin deep in the void.
A thick layer of frost condensed on the ocean of gold coins, precious phantoms, and currencies from all planes all over the ground.
In such a lifeless realm, a giant silver beast that was comparable in size to an ancient dragon was entrenched among the golden mountains and silver seas, like a lifeless statue.
It is Levi who has been sleeping for nearly 20 years.
At this moment, Wu Feng, the heavy dragon book in front of him, automatically opened another page.
A name as small as golden sand lit up on the page.
Just like the shining stars in the silent night sky
Several gryphon knights who were preparing to pick up their companions nearby stared at the fleeting hurricane and the group of Flo demons approaching from the pavement, gritted their teeth and said:
"Everyone! Return with all your strength!!!"
"receive!"
Several gryphon knights in various directions scattered and flew towards the outskirts of the Supreme Forest with the urgent information of 'demon invasion'.
It's just that griffons, a medium-sized flying beast that feeds mainly on ground prey, are not known for their speed. They only have rare natural enemies on the main material plane. After just a moment, they discovered this cruel fact:
They are being gradually overtaken by the flying demons behind them!
So after these griffin knights successfully passed the news to their comrades within range, they all changed directions in unison, set up the Sabot machine launcher on the back of the griffin, and headed towards the Flo Demon flying from the sky.
The group rushed to meet him.
The main relay station was silent, as if acquiescing to their crazy behavior.
Since we are destined to not be able to return home smoothly, it is better to buy more valuable time for the message to be conveyed.
In the early years, some designers objected to carrying heavy Sabot machine launchers on the Griffin, believing that rather than installing one more such device, it would be better to use the occupied load to carry more tactical projectiles.
Because in their view, the greatest tactical significance of the Griffin Knights lies in bombing and attacking the enemy, and within half a century, there may not be a group of air forces capable of confronting them near the Northland.
But this opinion was ultimately rejected by Li Wei with one vote.
To a certain extent, this day is the first time that the main material plane truly
Air combat confrontation!
The Sabot machine gun is also worthy of the name of the magic machine gun. With the rotating roar of "tap-tap-tap-tap" that cannot stop the bullets, the wings of swarms of vlo demons were scorched by the scorching rays like a torrential rain.
Then he fell towards Lin Hai.
But the Griffin Knights are ultimately outnumbered, and often once they are approached by these powerful and muscular demons, they cannot escape the fate of falling.
By that time, they had probably dragged enemies dozens of times their size into death together!
Relying on their decisive move to cut off the rear, one of the outermost gryphon knights finally broke out of the siege, broke out of the Supreme Forest, saw the endless pastoral wilderness, and then roared in the channel with eyes full of pain:
"Call the combat command! Call the combat command! This is Eagle-813! A gate to the abyss appears deep in the Supreme Forest! A large group of demons are invading towards the north! The reason is unknown! Please sound the alarm immediately! Prepare for defensive operations
!”
"Repeat! The Gate of the Abyss appears deep in the Supreme Forest! A large group of demons are invading the north! The reason is unknown! Please sound the alarm immediately! Prepare for defensive operations!"
"The combat command has received it! Your mission has been completed! Please return with all your strength!"
To be continued...
