Accompanied by the whistling of wind and thunder, silver meteors flew upward one after another——
The griffons in silver armor, wrapped in lightning, fiercely crashed into the demons in the sky amidst the rain of blood.
The gray-black storm tore the demon formation from the middle.
The Great Guardian took the lead, holding the invisible double swords in his hands in a cross shape, facing a scantily clad succubus.
"Philip!"
He whispered his gryphon's name.
"I see."
Phillip replied in a deep voice, and his body suddenly sank. Then it turned into a storm with the Great Guardian, and accelerated instantly!
When he reappeared, he was already behind the succubus.
When the two swords in the Great Guardian's hands were divided, the succubus' body instantly showed "X"-shaped cuts and wounds, and disintegrated into black ashes amid the screams.
And this also means that George ran into a group of demons!
——Bang!
He raised the scimitar in his right hand and collided with a scythe. He pushed back the winter demon that emerged from the blizzard, and Phillip suddenly rose up under him - his claws were wrapped with lightning, like a bear's paw.
He hit the winter demon hard with a heavy punch!
At the moment of contact, a large ball of electric light burst out, severely injuring the winter demon and sending it flying away!
At this time, a punishment demon enchanted the thunder halberd in his hand - the originally two-meter-long thunder halberd suddenly turned into a five-meter-long ferocious thunder whip, and it whipped hard at the back of the great guardian.
!
A burst of lightning came along with the smell of burnt smell, and the armor he was wearing was instantly damaged. His back was instantly bloody, and scorched black marks like scorpions appeared on his skin.
Even a fourth-level transcendent would probably have his heart stop and his internal organs burst if he received this blow!
However, the Great Guardian relied on his physical strength and affinity with lightning to withstand the blow without changing his expression!
He didn't even turn to fight back -
Because the Great Guardian trusts his subordinates.
Before the Punishment Demon had time to strike the second blow, the griffins that followed had already charged.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
I saw a fourth-level air cavalry roaring and charging forward on a griffin - the silver-white lance wrapped with blue electric light instantly penetrated the punishment demon and knocked it away!
Immediately afterwards, the gryphon under him suddenly bit the lower half of the body of the punishment demon. While the punishment demon was cursing something in Herasl language, he turned over the thunder halberd that dispersed the thunder whip in his hand, and hit it hard.
Plugged into the gryphon's shoulder!
It originally wanted to penetrate the heart, but the griffin suddenly shook its head, causing the punishment demon's attack to deflect slightly. Relying on the protection of the consecrated armor, the griffin was not penetrated, but staggered a bit while flying.
.
At this time, another griffon rushed over and bit the punishment demon's head. The two griffins used force at the same time and directly tore the piece of meat stuck in the "toothpick" into two halves!
The Great Guardian waved the scimitar in his hand and unleashed a series of storms - the arc-moon-shaped blows visible to the naked eye continuously struck the demon group. His whole body turned into a storm and crashed into the demon group!
The meteorites in the sky finally fell at this time.
With the griffin's dexterity, it is impossible to be hit by such an attack.
However, a few griffin knights tried to split the meteorite over their own strength, but were knocked directly into the sea by the too heavy meteorite.
The warships and merchant ships carrying mages emerged with protective shields one by one - some shields withstood the impact of the meteorite, and then made a violent collision sound that shook the sky, and finally deflected the meteorite; some even deflected the meteorite.
The ship and its shields were all smashed into the sea by the meteorite; some of the shields collapsed at the first touch; some even had no time to summon the shield and were hit by the meteorite.
Those ships whose shields were defeated, and those that had no time to summon their shields, immediately lost their response after being hit by meteorites, and gradually began to burst into flames on the sea.
Wherever the ship passed, blazing flames were actually burning on the sea, even leaving traces of golden-red flames on the sea as the ship moved forward.
Those flaming meteorites that fell into the sea also made a sharp sound. Thick white smoke instantly evaporated from the sea, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air.
The mages, soldiers, knights and even griffins who died in the fire were all turned into puppets by the activated flames, controlling their bodies. Their limbs were bent, their bones were broken, their skin was damaged, and they spurted out
Flames spurted out from the gap like blood.
They climbed up one by one like undead, and immediately launched indiscriminate attacks on the people around them like spell casters and warriors.
And those flames that fell into the sea or failed to attach to the corpse could only condense into a vague form that was not humanoid. Just like the demonized fire element summoned by the magician.
At this time, the spells prepared by the mages were finally completed.
They knew a lot about demons - so they chose almost the same spells.
From those ships, chain-like thunder light danced on the demons; thunder fell from the sky one after another like falling rain; one end of the shackle-like thunder light sank into the sea, and the other end was tied to the demons.
, drag them to the depths of the sea.
——In the crackling electric light, the demons finally retreated and turned into purple whirlpools and teleported back.
Although the demon has left, the fire demons left behind by the Balrog are still attacking the surrounding ships.
Those flames were as viscous as oil, spreading on the sea surface and gradually spreading.
This caused growing confusion in the rear of the fleet.
They had to distract themselves and start cleaning up the fire demons transformed by the Balrog, which delayed it for a while.
The warship in front fired a second round of pure white beams, defeating the dark clouds in front again——
But when the fleet moved forward for a certain distance, purple portals appeared again at a relatively rear position——
——Those demons teleported out again!
"It's so annoying! It's endless!"
Marshal Louis-Victor cursed on one of the ships.
He had seen similar situations - those eagle-eyed assassins liked this harassment pattern very much.
They cannot defeat the Children of the Moon directly, nor can they clash head-on with the Legion. So they will use means such as throwing bombs and setting up traps to harass them repeatedly, drawing their attention while they are resting or marching, making them tired and angry.
.
The only difference is... Hawkeye's assassins can't pose a threat to them, but these demons can!
The distance the demons can teleport is limited, but as long as they get close to the coast, they will definitely put themselves within the teleportation range - and the demons will attack the weakest places.
"Do these demons have no dignity at all?!"
Victor was angry: "You are obviously a strong man, but you use such despicable tricks!"
When the demons raided a round of mages and sank some ships, they withdrew decisively. This wave of temptations had made the demons aware of the strength of the Griffin Knights and the mages. So they chose to send these
Let go and attack the Iris Army in the rear!
This wave of attacks was extremely swift and violent, directly cutting off the endless fleet of ships in a long line!
There is no one among them who is good at thunder and lightning damage - although the Sons of the Moon are also capable of restraining demons, these high-level demons are extremely smart and will not come down to engage in close combat with them.
The demons were just floating in the sky hundreds of meters away, using only meteorites, curses, and thunder to bombard them continuously.
——In this position, it is difficult for firearms and crossbows to cause effective damage to the demon! "Please help, please help quickly!"
The Iris Legion soon fell into chaos.
The attacks of the demons were obviously not rehearsed - even now, they are still fighting for territory, and the pillar of thunder that connects the sky and the sea is constantly interrupted by their own people. But even so, the bombardment of the demons makes
The Iris people suffered heavy losses.
After a round of defeat, these demons slightly adjusted their strategies.
Now the demons' strategy is very clear... that is to focus fire!
Even if the damage is completely excessive, it is ignored at all - an ordinary merchant ship with no barrier or reinforced deck can be bombarded by four or five thunderbolts and three or four meteorites at the same time until it is completely sunk and damaged.
, or controlled by the Balrog, the demon will turn to the next target.
Under such a saturation attack, they had no chance of survival.
Which ship is chosen as the attack target will directly cause morale to drop to the lowest level. The demons will not let any ship go - after they let the mages go, they chase and bombard each ship.
After sinking ten troop transport ships in this way, the morale of the Iris soldiers suddenly collapsed.
They no longer lined up to die, but turned around and spread out in all directions. Some ships began to flee backwards... As a result, the intense chaos caused all the ships behind to stop.
It's like stopping suddenly on the highway, or even turning around and driving back.
The cars driving back couldn't go back at all, but the cars driving forward couldn't move either. They were blocked in an instant.
Without Aiwass here, these high-level demons would have almost no solution.
But the Theocracy's ships must clear the way at the front - otherwise the ocean formed by the lower demons will directly drown these people.
Even the strongest men who are best at fighting will not be able to exert their strength if they are crowded into a dense crowd. When the quantity reaches a certain level, it can indeed suppress the quality in turn - provided that they do not have strong enough group strike capabilities.
.
Fortunately, the fleet in front passed the news in time.
Not long after, the Griffin Legion flew back.
Seeing the silver-gray meteors roaring in the distance, these demons teleported away again without thinking.
This time the upper demons didn't even reduce their numbers - they retreated before the actual battle.
In the distance, Aiwass, who was watching all this with a ritual, frowned.
"Who commanded this? Beholder? Or dream demon?"
There are capable people in the demon army...
These demons use teleportation abilities flexibly to teleport anywhere in the demon kingdom. They do not fight with the main force at all - even if they are the dominant side.
The demons are constantly concentrating their strength and raiding weak points back and forth... Even if there are beholders who can clearly see the distribution of their troops, this kind of battlefield command is somewhat excessive.
Aiwass felt like he wasn't even fighting a group of demons - it felt like he was fighting a group of soldiers with good tactical skills.
Although these soldiers were not very convinced of each other and would even beat each other, there were almost no accidents when they carried out their orders.
Even the soldiers of the Holy Eagle Knights would try to challenge the meteorite out of arrogance or laziness - an attack that could have been easily avoided. But the demons did not have such a habit. After the first battle and realized that they
After not wanting to start a fight here, we immediately changed our command strategy.
"...Could it be that the generals of the Star Antimony Army Department have all been transformed into demons? Are they the ones commanding?"
Aiwass frowned, feeling that the situation was getting more and more troublesome.
What to do...
He could only leave the Griffin Knights at sea first.
Let them guard this area and protect the fleet - after all, the teleportation of demons has a distance limit, and it can only be teleported within the territorial waters at most. Therefore, the Griffin Knights will stay nearby and activate as soon as the demons appear.
blow.
——However, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
The demons' teleportation does not consume that much mana, but the griffins' sprint consumes a lot of physical energy. If they are pushed back and forth several times, these griffins may even have problems.
But there is no other way - another strategy is to park the church's ship in the middle of the sea. But in this case, they will be in trouble if they concentrate their firepower on the shore.
Therefore, Aiwass can only park the ship in the port position. In this way, the front and rear can echo as much as possible, but the rear will be slightly weaker.
Moreover, the church's gunboats cannot fire infinitely - the scorching ray also requires the mana of the priests.
"It's really against Tiangang. The demons are starting a war of attrition..."
Aiwass cursed lowly, feeling a little distressed for a moment.
"I'll go, Master."
At this moment, Night Demon suddenly said: "I'm watching them."
"...But what do you think? You can't stay too far away from me."
As soon as Aiwas finished speaking, he realized what Night Demon meant: "Are you taking Lily with you?"
"It just so happens that we are not suitable to fight against the Fallen Sky Division, so why not stay here. But just in case, I suggest leaving at least half of the Griffin Legion to protect us."
Night Demon took the initiative and said: "Even with only half of the power, I can take away their control of the domain's weather. If the Balrog and Punishment Demon are sealed, the remaining griffon legions will be easier to deal with."
Aiwass thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "That's it.
"With you here, I can feel more at ease..."
But at this moment, there was another problem ahead——
A violent explosion sounded on the side of the first wave of landing mages!
——The demons actually set up a ritual trap!
They ambush mutagenized flesh and blood bombs into the bodies of those citizens, allowing the mages to explode instantly when they come into contact with them!
Aiwass was a little shocked.
There are capable people here in the Fallen Heaven Division?!
