As Richard ignited his last remaining fighting spirit and launched an attack,
The griffons in the sky also gathered above the two combatants,
Dozens of royal griffons silently gathered in the sky above the battlefield. As Richard issued the order in his mind, he started a death dive.
Richard is generally reluctant to let these precious air units directly participate in battles. Compared with ground troops, which can be replenished at any time, all the air units in Richard's hands can only be recruited through the system every week.
In the past, Richard only used griffons for reconnaissance, harassment or harvesting.
But now they have become the trump card in Richard's hand to turn the situation around, the straw that breaks the camel's back.
"Dang, Dang..."
Richard, who had always adopted flexible fighting tactics during the battle and tried his best to avoid a head-on confrontation with Hachi, directly attacked Hachi from the front this time. He danced with his sword in a wide open and closed motion without any intention of saving any more strength.
Although Hachi had a slight advantage in terms of strength, he could only temporarily parry against Richard's relentless fighting style.
What Richard wanted was for Hachi to fight with all his strength. The swooping gryphon was getting closer and closer.
The cry of the eagle had already aroused Hachi's alert. Although Hachi's attention was completely attracted to Richard, he also felt the danger approaching.
The swooping Royal Griffin has already aimed its sharp claws at the back of Hachi's head. The rapidly descending griffon may be able to directly complete the leapfrog kill of Hachi.
"boom!"
At this critical moment, Ha Chi fiercely deflected Richard's slashing sword, turned around and shot down the gryphon above him with his stick.
"boom!"
Hachi's blow hit the gryphon right in the stomach.
The gryphon fell heavily to the ground, coughed up a lot of blood from its mouth, and let out a "hissing" whine. It seemed that it was no longer alive.
However, Richard had no time to feel sorry for his precious air unit at this time. Taking advantage of Hachi's side, he used his fighting energy with all his strength and cut off Hachi's left arm with a diagonal slash.
"ah"
The pain of breaking his arm made Hachi's expression distorted. He swung the mace in his right hand with all his strength and hit Richard in front of him.
"clang!"
After the long sword blocked the incoming mace, Richard still launched a strong attack.
There was more than one gryphon in the sky, and two more gryphons were swooping towards Hachi at high speeds.
Now with a broken arm and serious injuries, Hachi was completely unable to avoid the gryphon's attack.
The gryphon's sharp claws directly hooked the back of Hachi's neck.
Even the ogre warrior with strong vitality can't stand upright after suffering a heavy blow to the back of his neck.
Hachi felt weak all over, and his whole body was about to fall forward uncontrollably.
"puff!"
It was as if Ha Chi had bumped into Richard's sword. With one move of Richard's sword, Ha Chi fell towards the tip of the sword. The long sword attached to the fighting spirit broke through the iron armor on his body and stabbed him through.
…
Hachi has actually learned a lot under Grugesh, and his tactical skills are completely superior to those of the ogre tribe leaders.
If you know how to conduct basic reconnaissance and capture important areas, you will set aside a certain amount of troops for cavalry to take appropriate precautions.
But despite all calculations, Richard still did not have such a powerful aerial unit as the Griffin under his command.
When the gryphon swooped down, he was not prepared at all. He was caught off guard and could only bear the sword of Richard with hatred.
Always have one more trump card than your enemy...
The impact of Hachi's death fermented rapidly, and the attacking ogres inevitably wavered.
Especially the group of ogres around Hachi who witnessed Hachi being killed by Richard had their morale plummeted.
In addition, Richard no longer cared about the consumption of griffins, and ordered the griffins to directly participate in ground battles and fully support the lord coalition forces on the flanks.
The coalition's front gradually stabilized and began to attempt a counterattack.
The battle between the two sides was already evenly matched, and they were fighting while holding their breath in the stalemate. Now they are dying of laughter, and the morale of the coalition forces supported by the gryphons has greatly increased.
However, the ogre side died due to the havoc, exhaling directly in one breath, and could no longer maintain the balance of power on the battlefield.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the brave warrior faction. Although the general's example can greatly boost morale, as long as anything unexpected happens to the general, morale will collapse faster than ever.
The ogres began to become weaker and weaker. After a moment of death struggle, the recruited tribal warriors were the first to flee.
Their escape also affected the direct subordinates brought by Hachi. These elite ogre warriors wearing heavy armor were still fighting, but they were also coerced by the escape of the tribal soldiers, and finally had to join the escape team.
.
And how could the coalition forces let the ogre escape easily? Without Richard's call, the lords took the initiative to start the pursuit.
The coalition soldiers chased after the ogre amidst cheers, as if they were not the ones who had been beaten to the point of collapse before.
…

A fierce chase finally came to an end. Due to Richard's order, the coalition soldiers gradually stopped chasing and all returned to camp before dark.
After the battle, Richard finally had time to clean up the battle damage.
It would have been better not to clean it up. Once the battle damage was cleaned up, Richard felt as pained as a knife.
The loss of the spearmen was more than half. The Crusaders, who had never suffered any casualties under Richard's careful use, also lost two people. The Royal Griffins also lost ten. The Flying Bear Army suffered more than 500 casualties. Only the sharpshooters retreated to the rear of the line.
Did not suffer much loss,
The coalition cavalry suffered heavy losses because they were forced to charge into the formation under the command of Richard.
The losses suffered by various lords were not small. In total, there were thousands of casualties, and two lords even died directly in battle.
Mainly due to the instability of the flanks, the Crusaders and several lords distributed in that section faced the impact of a large number of ogres. In the end, they were exhausted and beaten to death.
Only the soldiers produced by the system could Richard dare to disperse them and distribute them on the front line to maintain the stability of the front line.
Only these system soldiers who are completely ready to die on the battlefield and have constant and high morale can not be affected by the collapse of friendly forces, and even in turn drive friendly forces to play the role of nails on the battlefield.
After all, ordinary troops will be affected by the collapse of friendly forces, but system soldiers will fight to the death without orders, no matter how dispersed the ordinary soldiers around them are.
However, these nails were too tough and many of them were broken.
"Quil"
"Pass my order for the army to rest for the night and break camp early tomorrow morning to return to Bande to rest."
"Yes, sir."
After this tragic victory, the strength of the coalition forces dropped to less than 5,000, and the battle loss rate was close to one-third. They had to retreat to rest and replenish their troops.
…
"A glorious victory!"
"Gain 20080 experience points"
…
After arranging all the next steps, Richard opened the Invincible Heroes interface in his mind.
This battle may seem like a huge loss to others, but Richard knows that he will definitely not lose.
Opening the character panel, this experience did not allow Richard to reach level 8, but he was not far behind the next upgrade.
Now Richard's panel is:
Level:7(28400/30000)
Strength:15.9
Physique:15.1
Agility:15.0
Spirit:4.9
Skills: Beast's Breathing Technique (Grandmaster) is the highest, Blue's Qi-Entraining Technique (Intermediate), Offensive Technique (Advanced).
Specialty: Control
Available skill points: 1
The extra skill points can only be used for the Blue Qi Entrainment Technique. After some consideration, Richard did not use it and planned to save it in his hand.
Because he will be promoted to level eight soon, strategic skills such as offensive skills should be more important to Richard...
