"W-what?"
Several soldiers of the Royal Army looked up, but suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards them. At that moment, they didn't even have time to react. They felt a pain in their chest, and then they lost consciousness and fell straight down.
The number of fallen soldiers like them increased to nearly a hundred in a short period of time.
The Royal Army was panicking, but only then did they roughly see the appearance of the black shadow - the sharp claws were covered with blood, the strong wings were waving behind their backs, and the eagle eyes were constantly searching the crowd, like It's looking for its next target.
Yes, that's a gryphon.
And it seems like it’s not just this one.
About twenty adult griffins suddenly appeared in the sky above Crewe Town. No one in the Royal Army knew where they came from, but they clearly saw that this group of griffins had just passed by at a low level and took away the lives of nearly a hundred people.
what happened
Most people were confused. Of course, the most overwhelming emotion was fear. The power of the griffon is self-evident. Almost everyone has heard stories of various caravans being attacked by griffins and no one survived. To this day, its image has been engraved in everyone's hearts. For the vast majority of people in the Horli Kingdom, seeing a griffon is equivalent to seeing the God of Death, and that fear comes from their instinct.
This battle was going well...why did a group of griffins appear
However, when these griffins swooped down again and took away another soldier's life, they saw an even more incredible sight.
There were people sitting on those griffins.
Wearing armor and holding heavy hammers, those people looked very young. The icon of the Magic Academy was painted on the chest of the armor. They waved the hammer with one hand and placed the palm of the other hand on the griffin's head, as if they had a strange force field all over their bodies, making people shiver involuntarily.
The gryphon was ridden by them like the most obedient war horse, and it didn't look reluctant at all.
The soldiers of the Royal Army were dumbfounded.
They felt like they were dreaming and seeing things that were completely impossible to see. But when the sharp claws kept passing through the crowd and they saw the blood of their comrades splattering, they knew that the nightmare had come to the world.
"H-run quickly!"
A secret spiritual power swept across, amplifying the fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Finally, the instinct to survive overcame the military orders, and these soldiers could no longer hold on. They abandoned their helmets and armor one by one and fled.
There were nearly 100,000 people in the royal army. The troops at the front instantly collapsed due to the appearance of the griffin cavalry, while the people at the rear didn't even know what was happening in front. Therefore, a small number of people fled away, while more people pressed forward, and the entire army suddenly became chaotic again. Some paladins even drew their swords and killed the deserters on the spot.
Of course, with everything down there in such a mess, it's impossible for people in the sky not to notice it.
"The magic of manipulating monsters... If you can do this kind of thing, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" During the battle between the mage and the priest, a bishop looked at the mage in front of him and shouted righteously.
"Sick mind." Laila rolled her eyes and ignored it.
The two sides were already locked in a melee, and the priest relied on his numerical advantage to overwhelm the mage. But because they forcibly produced too many priests, their average combat power was too poor, and even somewhat delayed, so they failed to gain an overwhelming advantage.
At this time, the fight between Grant and Miles seemed to have entered a brief truce. Miles stopped on another roof, slumped over and panting. Grant in the sky was holding up his shield, sweating profusely in order to resist the continuous attacks.
After the Griffin Cavalry appeared, Grant's face became increasingly ugly.
He tried to take the time to send out a few extreme light rays to kill the griffins, but as soon as he made any other movement, Miles would jump over immediately, or block the light rays with his body, or keep attacking, He was unable to cast spells for assistance, and could only watch the Royal Army's advantage being lost bit by bit.
Grant had a terrible headache.
"You can't hold on much longer." After thinking about it, he suddenly said to Miles, "I know you. You are an assassin. You don't have such strong physical strength. If you continue to use up your strength, you can kill even an ordinary soldier." You. Do you really want to continue dragging me here? "
Hearing this, Miles laughed a few times while gasping, nodded, and said, "Yes."
"...Leave this place, leave the Kingdom of Hori, and I can promise you money that you won't be able to spend in your lifetime. Think about it carefully, is it worth it to sacrifice your life for that mage?"
Miles straightened up and spread his hands: "It's none of your business."
Grant snorted and gave up the persuasion.
Holding the shield high, he suddenly turned around and flew into the formation of the Royal Army. Seeing this, Miles hesitated for a moment, but due to the heavy consumption of physical strength, he did not pursue it. Instead, he stopped where he was and took out a bottle of Warcraft and drank it quickly.
But as soon as he took the potion, he turned his head and suddenly saw several paladins climbing up from below.
"I don't have time to waste time with you here, just go and have fun with them!" At this moment, Grant suddenly appeared behind the Paladin and said. He gave Miles a bored look, turned around and flew away with a whoosh.
Following his words, more paladins suddenly appeared on this street and surrounded the house where Miles was.
"Oops… "
Seeing this, Miles clenched his fists and felt a burst of soreness in the muscles all over his body. He couldn't help but frown and said silently in his heart. He looked up at Grant and saw that Grant had gone straight to the battlefield between the priest and the mage, and the next step was to start a killing spree!
His first target was Joanna.
"You..." Joanna had just blocked a round of holy light bullets with flames. Unexpectedly, a beam of light flew from another angle and penetrated her shoulder in an instant. Suddenly, she let out a groan of pain and her spell casting was interrupted. She turned around and saw Grant less than ten meters away from her.
Grant's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"go to hell!"
Another ray of light shot out from his hand and went straight to Joanna's heart. At that moment, Joanna's spellcasting had just been interrupted, and she was still in the backlash. There was no way to avoid it, so she could only freeze in place, watching the ray of light come to her heart.
Ding!
There was a crisp sound, and Joanna was shocked. She subconsciously reached out and touched her chest, but found that she was not injured.
At this time, a little blue man with waving wings was standing in front of her with his arms spread out, and his long water-like hair was slowly flowing. On the other side, Miles on the roof found that the paladins surrounding him suddenly turned into ice sculptures.
At that moment, everyone looked up in unison.
Then, everyone was stunned.
"I just walked away for a while, but you can't hold him back anymore?" I saw Benjamin riding on the back of a huge griffin, looking down at the entire battlefield, and slowly said, "You legendary mercenary, It seems like that’s all!”
