Without any warning, a low and deep distant howl was heard.
In the direction from which the Holy Night Army came, in the already slightly hazy sky, there suddenly appeared a patchwork of black dots that covered the sky and the moon, exuding extraordinary colors.
Just like a group of fireflies that suddenly appeared, they were speeding towards the direction known to Lei Xiao and others!
Under the reflection of two silver-white crescent moons, as time went by, those black dots that exuded extraordinary colors gradually became clearer and slowly showed their original outlines.
Looking up, I saw a flying monster with a lion's body and sharp claws, but an eagle's head, soaring in the deep dark blue night sky.
If you observe carefully, you will see that the bodies of these monsters are extremely tall and strong, and their huge wings vibrate like small planes. They are overwhelming and their momentum is extremely astonishing.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
Judging from the number, this sudden group of monsters numbered in the hundreds, and they were so densely packed that it was almost dizzying to see.
The most important thing is that on each monster, you can vaguely see a knight holding a colorful spear and wearing heavy black armor.
The sharp tip of the spear flashed, looking mighty and majestic, giving people a full sense of oppression.
Even, as the other party got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
Even these monsters themselves are covered in extremely thick and colorful armor, just like mobile fortresses.
Having said that, Lei Xiao is naturally familiar with this kind of flying monster.
Whether it was the portrait on the bow of the ancient ship or the coat of arms on the flag of the Holy Night Army, Lei Xiao had seen it many times.
"Good guy, is it actually a squadron of fully armed Griffin Knights?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a slightly surprised look on his face.
"Black-armored Griffin Knights... This is the most representative ace combat force of the Holy Night Kingdom, an elite second-order sky knight squadron!"
On the other side, an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Ariel's delicate cheeks, and she blurted out: "The strength of these gryphon knights is above that of the second-level five-star senior experts, and the gryphons sitting down have the same strength.
Likewise, it can be said to be extremely difficult!”
"Furthermore, both the gryphon knights and the gryphon themselves are wearing heavy armor of the third level quality. Their defensive power is extremely amazing. Ordinary arrows cannot penetrate it at all. The lance in their hands is also at the third level, which is both offensive and defensive.
A strong presence.”
At this point, Ariel frowned slightly and continued: "As far as I know, a hundred years ago, in a certain encounter between Lengyan and Shengye, the opponent only had a squadron of gryphon knights.
The dive attack and alchemy bomb directly wiped out all of Wu Lengyan's elite second-level royal brigade, and finally escaped without any losses!"
"Oh? So powerful?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Regarding the alchemy bomb that Ariel just mentioned, Lei Xiao also heard it mentioned by Xue Ya and Faxia.
Like the alchemy puppet, this thing is one of the advanced techniques of the alchemist. Only when you master the corresponding formula can you refine it.
The damage it can cause is almost the same as the offensive magic scroll of the same class, and it is cheaper.
However, its shortcomings are also very obvious, except for its relatively poor stability.
Due to its relatively large size, it is also very inconvenient to carry for holders without storage items.
"So, isn't the Griffin squadron with the alchemy bomb equivalent to a bomber formation?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
You know, the two small fortresses on the mountainside are not blessed by large defensive barriers.
Especially when being restrained by the Holy Night Siege Army on the ground, if the opponent's air force takes the opportunity to bombard them indiscriminately, it can indeed cause extremely serious losses to the Lengyan Army in the fortress.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that this must be one of the trump cards in the hands of the opponent's coach, the Red Devils."
"You are right. Due to the low reproductive capacity of griffins and their unruly personalities, the number of second-level sky knight squadrons in the Holy Night Kingdom today will never exceed the size of a brigade, and most of them will
It is a garrison directly under the Holy Night Royal Family or the Moon Palace, and rarely leaves the opponent's royal capital."
On the other side, Ariel's starry eyes flickered and she continued to frown: "I didn't expect that a gryphon squadron would come to this border battlefield."
"Since the opponent's coach, the Red Devil, is the Holy General of the Moon Palace, it makes sense to mobilize this force."
Waving his hand slightly, indicating that Ariel didn't need to worry, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, we attracted this squadron of gryphon knights in advance, otherwise, if this squadron appeared together with the disappeared legion,
, then things will be very troublesome.”
"Do you have a way to deal with this squadron of gryphon knights?"
Hearing this, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "You know, this gryphon squadron is known as the overlord of the sky in Holy Night!"
At this time, Ariel clearly understood that the flying height of the gryphon was far beyond the capabilities of a powerful magician.
Even if Lei Xiao is standing next to Hong Ye, who is a strong master of both magic and martial arts, he may only be able to deter the opponent from swooping down.
After Ai Lier finished speaking, Lei Xiao clearly heard that Hong Ye, who was standing with her arms folded on her side, suddenly squeezed out a disdainful snort from her nasal cavity.
It's no wonder that, as the true overlord of the sky, if the dragon clan can transform into the red dragon form, it will naturally be a matter of minutes to destroy this griffin squadron.
Of course, Lei Xiao would not agree with Hong Ye doing this.
Once Hong Ye transforms into a dragon form, she will undoubtedly be noticed by the other red dragons who are chasing her. By then, the situation will become even worse and more complicated.
At least at this stage, Lei Xiao has no plans or capital to start a full-scale war with other red dragons.
"Lord, let me go down. Even if I don't show my true face, I can easily kill these flies who don't know the heights of the sky."
Immediately afterwards, Hongye's rustling voice with a hint of solemnity reached Lei Xiao's ears.
It is true that for ordinary magic powerhouses, even if they have reached the fifth level and are proficient in magic wings, it is difficult to reach the flying height of a griffin.
But for Hong Ye, who is a dragon herself, even in human form, she is enough to confront the opponent head-on.
Hearing the sound, Ariel's delicate face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
Although she didn't understand what Hong Ye meant by not showing his true face, she could tell that Hong Ye obviously had the ability to destroy the opponent!
"Hongye, it's not time for you to appear yet."
On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, waved his hand again and said: "If we show our fifth-level combat power now, for us, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to using our strongest trump card against the opponent's ordinary trump card. I won't do it."
Such an uneconomical thing.”
"You are from another world. Do you have any other ways to deal with this squadron of gryphon knights?"
Hearing this, Ariel frowned slightly and said suspiciously: "You know, the title of Sky Overlord is not just called casually."
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, you just said that this gryphon squadron is almost invulnerable because of its heavy armor, right?"
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and asked, "What about the opponent's resistance to magic?"
"Magic is indeed the opponent's flaw, but the key is that those gryphon knights fly too high, and their spells can't hit the opponent at all."
Tilting her head slightly, Ariel replied with a confused look on her face.
"Don't worry, the mountain man has his own clever plan."
Lei Xiao continued to smile and said.
At the same time, I looked at the Griffin Knights squadron, which was getting closer and closer, roaring in an orderly formation in the sky, comparable to a heavy bomber.
Waves of exciting cheers suddenly erupted from various camps of the Holy Night Army soldiers.
Especially the commander of the siege army, who was almost at a loss just now and was not far away from Lei Xiao, became full of fighting spirit again. With an excited look on his face, he immediately began to reorganize his formation.
Including Bai Lao, the Lengyan Army located in the three fortresses all had uneasy expressions on their faces.
You must know that a hundred years ago, the Holy Night Army killed an elite royal brigade with only a squadron of gryphons. However, it became a classic battle and left a big mark in the hearts of many Lengyan Army.
shadow.
It is true that despite facing a fortress garrisoned by ten thousand people, the role that this griffin squadron of a hundred people can play is ultimately relatively limited.
However, coupled with the other Holy Night Legions attacking the city, such a two-pronged attack from the sky and the ground, it is not as simple as one plus one.
Somewhere in the central legion of the Holy Night Army, they saw the gryphon squadron coming at full speed. However, there was no trace of excitement on the face of the fourth-level middle-aged deputy general of the Holy Night Army.
Instead, he said to the one-eyed old man hidden in the soldiers beside him: "Lord Red Devil, is it too hasty to show the Griffin Squadron's trump card now?"
"Currently, the morale of the troops in the Open Fortress is extremely unstable. If I don't take any action, I'm afraid that legion will be in danger of being eaten by the opponent."
The Red Devil still had that strategizing look on his face, and said calmly: "The charge of the puppet knights and the small-scale space bombardment in the empty fortress just now cannot be the work of the cowardly old man Bai. I have to say that this mysterious aid is indeed
It’s a little clever.”
"So, the other party is forcing me to wait and has to reveal its trump card?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged deputy general looked suddenly enlightened and said with some surprise: "What is the origin of that mysterious helping hand?!"
After a pause, the middle-aged deputy general continued: "You know, this gryphon squadron is what we plan to use with the strongest trump card."
"That's all, some cleverness can't change anything."
Waving his hand slightly, the Red Devil said calmly: "Then let me take a good look at how the other party deals with my elite griffon squadron. If they want to completely destroy my trump card, I'm afraid the other party doesn't have the ability yet."
"What Lord Red Devil said is absolutely true. In the past hundred years, the Cold Flame Army has never destroyed my Holy Night Sky Knight Squadron. As long as our Griffin Squadron is circling in the sky and dropping bombs, the opponent can only watch the alchemy bombs fall."
On top of my head!"
On the other side, the middle-aged deputy general smiled solemnly and echoed.
Just as these two people were talking.
Hooooo, hooooo!
Above the dark blue night sky, there was a low and violent roar.
With their huge wings stretched out, the squadron of gryphon knights flying in the shape of a "human" was already very close to the empty fortress where Lei Xiao and others were!
At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was in a hidden place on the mountainside, could even faintly hear the "plop, plop" sound made by the griffins when they flapped their wings.
"Okay, it's time for my subordinates to show their talents."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then gave the order to attack on the other side of the conversation, which was already waiting for his other trump card.
The next second, a sharper roar sounded from the mountains behind the fortress.
Immediately afterwards, ten black-brown flying monsters, forming a uniform "one" shape, appeared in everyone's sight.
Upon closer inspection, these flying monsters are almost as big as a griffon in size. Their sharp long beaks, colorful crests on their heads, and slender wings formed by membranes look extremely eye-catching.
The most striking thing is that on the body of each flying monster, there is also a fully armed knight.
I saw that these knights were all wearing silver plate armor, with the same brilliant colors shining on them.
Moreover, judging from the brilliance, it is obviously more dazzling than the brilliance of those black-armored gryphon knights.
There is no doubt that this is our third-level pterosaur knight team with all fourth-level equipment.
The reason why the pterodactyl knight team headed by Sean appears here is because of another deployment made by Lei Xiao after Ariel's encouragement.
As for the secluded cave that Sean and others were monitoring, it was temporarily handed over to the old butler Ward.
"I didn't expect that the pterosaur knight team, which was well prepared, actually used it."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"Although the strength of our own Sky Winged Dragon is on par with the opponent's griffon, its speed and maneuverability are much higher than the opponent's. In addition, the opponent's griffin is also wearing heavy armor, which further increases this problem.
gap."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao murmured to himself again: "The most important thing is that I have equipped each pterosaur knight with several secret weapons, enough to catch the other party off guard."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a hint of awe on his face: "Since a mere squadron of gryphons can destroy a large elite force, then let my team of pterosaur knights break your century-old
