Without warning, only a low and deep distant howl was heard.
In the direction where the Holy Night Army came, between the already slightly hazy sky, a black dot of brilliance suddenly appeared, covering the sky and the moon.
Just like a group of fireflies that came out of nowhere, they galloped towards the direction known to Lei Xiao and others at extreme speed!
Under the reflection of the two silver-white crescent moons, with the passage of time, those black dots exuding splendid brilliance have gradually become clear, and slowly show their original outlines.
Looking up, I saw that in the deep dark blue night sky, flying with wings, was a flying beast with a lion's body and sharp claws, but an eagle's head.
Upon closer inspection, the bodies of these beasts are extremely burly and strong, and their huge wings oscillate like small planes, overwhelming the sky, and their momentum can be described as extremely astonishing.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and continued to observe.
Judging from the number, this group of beasts that came suddenly, there are hundreds of them, and they are so densely packed that it is almost dizzying.
The most important thing is that on the body of each beast, a knight with a spear of splendor and a heavy armor of black splendor can be vaguely seen.
The sharp and sharp point of the spear flickered, looking mighty and majestic, giving people a full sense of oppression.
Even, as the other party got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
Even these beasts themselves are wearing extremely thick and splendid armors, just like moving fortresses.
Having said that, Lei Xiao is no stranger to this kind of flying beast.
Whether it is the head portrait of the long-standing ship or the coat of arms on the flag of the Holy Night Army, Lei Xiao has seen it many times.
"Good guy, is it actually a squadron of fully armed Griffin Knights?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a slightly surprised look on his face.
"Black-armored Griffin Knights... This is the most representative trump card battle force of the Holy Night Kingdom, an elite second-order sky knight squadron!"
On the other side, on Ariel's delicate cheeks, a surprised expression suddenly appeared, and she blurted out: "The strength of these griffin knights is above the second-order five-star senior powerhouse, and the griffin who sits down has the same strength. Also, it can be said to be extremely difficult to deal with!”
"Furthermore, both the griffin knights and the griffins themselves are wearing heavy armor of Tier 3 quality, their defensive power is extremely amazing, and ordinary arrows cannot penetrate at all. strong presence."
Speaking of which, Ariel continued with a frown, "As far as I know, a hundred years ago, in a certain encounter between my Lengyan and Holy Night, the opponent only relied on a squadron of griffin knights, The diving attack and the alchemy bomb directly wiped out an elite second-order royal brigade of Wu Lengyan, and finally retreated without loss!"
"Oh? So powerful?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Regarding the alchemy bomb that Ariel mentioned just now, Lei Xiao also heard Xueya and Faxia mention it.
This thing, like the alchemy puppet, is one of the advanced techniques of alchemists. It can only be refined if the corresponding formula is mastered.
The damage it can cause is almost the same as an offensive magic scroll of the same tier, and it's cheaper.
However, its shortcomings are also very obvious, in addition to its relatively poor stability.
Due to its relatively large size, it is also very inconvenient for holders who have no storage items to carry.
"So, the Griffin squadron with alchemy bombs is equivalent to a bomber formation?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but slightly pouted.
You must know that the two small fortresses on the mountainside do not have the blessing of large defensive barriers.
Especially under the circumstance of being pinned down by the Holy Night Siege Corps on the ground, if the opponent's air force takes the opportunity to bombard it indiscriminately, it can indeed cause extremely serious losses to the Cold Flame Army in the fortress.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that this must be one of the cards in the hands of the opponent's coach, the Red Devils."
"You are right, due to the low fertility of griffins and their unruly character, the number of such second-order sky knight squadrons in the Holy Night Kingdom today will never exceed the size of a brigade, and most of them are It is the direct garrison of the Holy Night Royal Family or the Moon Palace, and rarely leaves the capital of the other party."
On the other side, Ariel's eyes flickered, and she continued to frown, "I didn't expect that there would be a squadron of gryphons coming to this frontier battlefield."
"Since the opponent's head coach, the Red Devil, is the Holy General of the Moon Palace, it is only reasonable to mobilize this troop."
He waved his hand slightly, indicating that Ariel doesn't need to worry, Lei Xiao smiled lightly: "Fortunately, we attracted this Griffin Knight squadron in advance, otherwise, if this squadron appeared together with the disappeared Legion , that would be troublesome."
"Do you have a solution to this Griffin Knight squadron?"
Hearing this, Ariel's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "You must know that this Griffin squadron is known as the Sky Overlord of Holy Night!"
At this time, Ariel clearly understood that due to the flying height of the griffin, it was far beyond the ability of magic powerhouses.
Even if it was Lei Xiao's side, there was Hong Ye, who was a powerhouse of both magic and martial arts, but he could only deter the opponent from diving.
After Ariel finished speaking, Lei Xiao clearly heard that Hong Ye, who was standing with his arms around him, suddenly squeezed out a disdainful snort from his nose.
It's no wonder, as the real sky overlord dragon race, if it can be transformed into the red dragon form and destroy this griffin squadron, it will naturally be a matter of minutes.
Of course, Lei Xiao naturally wouldn't agree with Hong Ye doing this.
Once Hong Ye transforms into a dragon form, it will undoubtedly be noticed by the other red dragons who are chasing her. At that time, 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 Lord, let your subordinates go. Even if you don't show your true face, your subordinates can easily eliminate these flies."
Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye Sa's stern voice came into Lei Xiao's ears.
It is true that even 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, even in the form of a human, it is enough to confront the opponent head-on.
Hearing the sound, a look of joy appeared on Ariel's delicate face.
Although she didn't understand what Hong Ye said without revealing her true face, what she was referring to, but she heard that Hong Ye obviously has the ability to destroy the opponent!
"Hong Ye, now is not the time for you to appear."
On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and waved his hand again: "If we show fifth-order combat power now, for us, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to using the strongest trump card against the opponent's ordinary trump card, I won't do it. Such a worthless thing."
"From another world, do you have any other way to deal with this Griffin Knight squadron?"
Hearing this, Ariel frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "You must know that the title of the other party's Sky Overlord is not just called casually."
"Dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, you said just now that this Griffin squadron is almost invulnerable due to its heavy armor, right?"
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and Lei Xiao asked back, "How about the opponent's resistance to magic?"
"Magic is indeed the opponent's flaw, but the key point is that those griffin knights fly too high, and the magic can't hit the opponent at all."
Tilt her head slightly, Ariel replied with a bewildered face.
"Don't worry, the mountain man has his own plan."
I saw that Lei Xiao continued to smile and said.
At the same time, he looked at the Griffin Knight squadron, which was getting closer and whizzing in neat formations in the air, comparable to heavy bombers.
From the various camps of the soldiers of the Holy Night Army, there were bursts of cheering cheers.
Especially the commander of the siege corps, who was almost at a loss just now, not far from Lei Xiao, ignited a strong fighting spirit again, with an excited look on his face, and immediately began to reorganize the formation.
However, including Old Bai, the Leng Yan Army in the three fortresses all had a restless expression on their faces.
You must know that a hundred years ago, the Holy Night Army killed an elite royal brigade with only one Griffin squadron, but it became a classic battle example, and left a lot in the hearts of many Leng Yanjun. shadow.
It is true that despite facing a fortress garrisoned by 10,000 people, this 100-strong griffon squadron can play a limited role in the end.
However, with the addition of the other Holy Night Legion attacking the city, it is more than just one plus one.
Somewhere in the Middle Army Corps of the Holy Night Army, they saw the Griffin Squadron galloping forward, but there was not a hint of excitement on the face of the fourth-rank middle-aged Deputy General of the Holy Night Army.
Instead, he said to the one-eyed old man who was hiding among the soldiers next to him: "Master Red Devil, is it too hasty to present the trump card of Griffin Squadron now?"
"At present, the army's morale in the empty fortress is extremely unstable. If the old man doesn't take any action, I am afraid that the army will be in danger of being eaten by the opponent."
I saw that the Red Devil still had the indifferent expression of strategizing, and said calmly: "The charge of the puppet knights and the small-scale space bombardment in the empty fortress just now can't be done by the white old man who is shrinking his head. I have to say that this mysterious help is indeed true. It's a little clever."
"So, the other party is forcing me to wait, so I have to show my trump card?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged lieutenant looked suddenly enlightened, and said in surprise, "What is the origin of the mysterious help?!"
After a pause, the middle-aged lieutenant continued: "You know, this Griffin squadron, we are going to use it with the strongest trump card."
"Forget it, some little smarts can't change anything."
He waved his hand slightly, and the Red Devil said lightly: "Then let this old man take a good look at how the other side dealt with this elite Griffin squadron. If they want to completely destroy this old man's trump card, I am afraid that the other side doesn't have the ability."
"What Lord Red Devil said is very true, in the past hundred years, the Cold Flame Army has never killed my Holy Night's Sky Knight squadron. As long as my Griffin squadron hovers high in the sky and drops bombs, the other side can only watch the alchemy bomb fall. on top of my head!"
On the other side, the middle-aged lieutenant smiled sensually and followed suit.
Right when the two were talking.
Woo, hoo!
Above the dark blue night sky, there was a low and violent roar.
Between the huge wings, the Griffin Knight Squadron galloping in the shape of a "man" is already within easy reach of the empty fortress where Lei Xiao and others are!
At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was located in a hidden place on the mountainside, could even faintly hear the "flashing, flapping" sound of the griffins when they flapped their wings.
"Okay, it's time for my subordinates to show their skills."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then faced the other side's hole card that was already on standby, and gave the order to attack.
The next second, a sharper roar sounded from the mountains behind the fortress.
Immediately afterwards, ten black-brown flying beasts, in the shape of a uniform "one", appeared in everyone's sight.
Upon closer inspection, the huge stature of these flying beasts is almost comparable to that of a griffin, with a sharp long beak, a colorful crest on the head, and slender wings formed by the skin, which look unusually eye-catching. .
The most striking thing is that on the body of each flying beast, there is also a fully armed knight.
I saw that these knights were all dressed in silver plate armor, which also flickered brilliantly.
And, in terms of brilliance, it is obviously more dazzling than the splendor of those black-armored griffin knights.
There is no doubt that this is the third-order pterosaur knight team equipped with all fourth-order equipment.
And the reason why the pterosaur knight team led by Sean appeared here is another deployment made by Lei Xiao after Ariel's encouragement ended.
As for the seclusion cave monitored by Sean and others, it was temporarily handed over to the old housekeeper Ward.
"I didn't expect that the pterosaur knight team, who was prepared for anything, really used it."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"Although the strength of the sky pterosaur on our side is comparable to that of the opponent's griffin, its speed and mobility are much higher than the opponent's. In addition, the opponent's griffin also wears heavy armor, which further increases this problem. gap."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao murmured to himself again in his heart: "The most important thing is that I also equip each of the Winged Dragon Knights with a few secret weapons, which are enough to catch the opponent off guard."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show a stern look: "Since a mere Griffin squadron can destroy the elite troops of the brigade size, then let my pterosaur knight squad break your hundred years of history. An invincible myth."
