Chapter 499: The Battle Before Dawn (Part 2)

Whoop, whoop!

Without any warning, bursts of low and thick howls sounded, and the sound came from far to near, and soon resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

As the sudden howl became clearer, a hazy spot of light exuding splendor appeared in the sky that was about to break dawn.

Those hazy spots of light covering the sky and the moon were like a swarm of giant bees, galloping towards the direction where Lei Xiao and the others were at extreme speed.

Not long after, under the reflection of two rounds of silvery white crescent moon, the hazy light spots began to slowly show the original outline.

What I saw soaring in the dark night sky were flying monsters with the body of a lion and sharp claws, but the head of an eagle.

The bodies of these monsters are extremely burly and strong, with pairs of huge wings vibrating, like small planes, overwhelming, and the momentum is extremely astonishing.

Surprised, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe intently.

This group of huge flying demonic beasts that appeared suddenly had a scale of hundreds of them, so densely packed that it was almost dizzying.

What is even more striking is that on each flying monster, a flying knight holding a splendor spear and a whole body of black splendor heavy armor can be vaguely seen. The hazy splendor emanates from these knights.

The sharp and sharp lances flickered, making these black armored flying knights look mighty and majestic, giving people a sense of oppression.

As the other party got closer, Lei Xiao noticed further.

Even these flying monsters themselves are covered with extremely thick and colorful armor, just like mobile fortresses.

Lei Xiao is naturally no stranger to this flying monster with extremely obvious characteristics.

Lei Xiao has seen many times whether it is the figurehead of the Eternal Ship or the coat of arms on the flag of the Commander of the Holy Night.

"A squadron of fully armed Gryphon Riders?"

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his face became more serious.

"These black-armored griffin knights are one of the most representative aces of the Holy Night Kingdom, the Guard Sky Knight Squadron!"

On Ariel's exquisite cheeks, there was also a hint of awe, and she blurted out: "The strength of the holy night griffin knights is above the second-level five-star senior expert, and the strength of the sitting griffin is at least as strong as the knight's." They are even, and some Griffin leaders have even reached the third level, which can be described as extremely difficult!"

"In addition, the Griffin Knight and the Griffin itself are both wearing Tier 3 high-quality heavy armor, which cannot be penetrated by ordinary arrows and weapons, and the lance in the opponent's hand is also at the Tier 3 high-quality level, which is both offensive and defensive. Strong presence."

At this point, Ariel's willow eyebrows have been twisted into a twist: "As far as I know, in an encounter a hundred years ago, a squadron of elite Griffin Knights from the Holy Night Kingdom relied on a dive attack Together with the alchemy bomb, they completely wiped out an elite second-tier brigade of our Lengyan royal family, and finally retreated without loss!"

"Destroy opponents ten times as big as you without getting hurt? These griffin knights are indeed not to be underestimated."

Lei Xiao looked at the overwhelming enemy flying knights and nodded thoughtfully.

Regarding the alchemy bomb mentioned by Ariel just now, Lei Xiao also heard Xue Ya and Fa Xia mention it.

This thing, like the alchemy puppet, is one of the advanced techniques of alchemists. Only after mastering the corresponding formula can it be refined.

As for the damage it can cause, it is almost the same as the attack magic scroll of the same class, and it is much cheaper.

But the shortcomings of the alchemy bomb 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 who do not have storage items.

"So, isn't the Griffon squadron with the alchemy bombs equivalent to a bomber formation?"

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's complexion became more serious.

You know, our two small fortresses on the mountainside do not have the blessing of a large defensive enchantment.

With the strength of the fortress being pinned down, if the opponent's sudden air force takes the opportunity to bombard us indiscriminately, it can indeed cause extremely serious losses to our defenders, and it will also greatly affect our morale.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, and pondered: "It seems that this must be one of the cards in the hands of the opponent's coach, Red Devils."

"You are right. Due to the low fecundity and unruly nature of griffins, the number of such second-tier sky knight squadrons in the Holy Night Kingdom will never exceed the size of a brigade. The guards directly under the Royal Family of the Night or the Palace of the Moon rarely leave the capital of the other side."

On the other side, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she continued to frown: "I didn't expect that there would be a griffin squadron coming to this border battlefield."

"The opponent's coach, the Red Devils, is the Holy General of the Moon Palace after all, so it is reasonable to mobilize this army."

Taking advantage of the time when the other party had not yet completely entered the battlefield, Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, we have attracted this elite Griffon Knight squadron ahead of time, otherwise, if it disappears with that squadron When the Legion appears together, things will be really troublesome."

"You mean you have a way to get rid of this Griffin Knight Squadron?"

Seeing Lei Xiao's calm expression, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and then she frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Griffon Knight is the sky overlord known as Holy Night!"

Ariel, who is familiar with the previous battles with the Holy Night Kingdom, clearly understands.

Since the flying height of the Griffin is far beyond the attack range and floating range of the powerful magician, even Hong Ye, who is a master of both magic and martial arts, can only deter the opponent from diving.

As soon as Ariel's words fell, Lei Xiao could clearly hear Hong Ye with his arms around her, and let out a disdainful hum from his nasal cavity.

It's no wonder that, as the true sky overlord dragon clan, if Hong Ye can transform into a red dragon form, it will naturally be a matter of minutes to destroy this elite griffin squadron.

Of course, Lei Xiao would not agree with Hong Ye to do this.

Lei Xiao clearly understands that once Hong Ye transforms into a dragon form, it will undoubtedly expose the identity of the dragon, and then be noticed by the other red dragons who hunted her down.

At that time, the situation will become even worse and more complicated.

At least at this stage, Lei Xiao has no plans to start a full-scale war with the Red Dragon Clan.

"My lord, let the subordinates go. Even if they don't show their true colors, the subordinates can easily eliminate these ignorant flies."

Hongye's scornful whisper came to Lei Xiao's ears.

Although for the average magic powerhouse, even if they have reached the fifth level and are proficient in magic wings, it is difficult to match the flying height of the griffin.

But for Hong Ye, who is a dragon, even in the form of a human, she can easily do this.

Hearing Hong Ye's words, Ariel's exquisite face suddenly showed a gleam of joy.

Although Ariel didn't know what Hong Ye meant by "not revealing her true face", what was certain was that Hong Ye obviously had the confidence to destroy the other party!

"Hong Ye, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, it's not time for you to come out yet."

Looking at Hong Ye's eager expression, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, waved his hands and said, "If you are called out now, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to using my strongest hole card against the opponent's ordinary hole card." , I will not do such a wasteful thing."

"Come from another world, do you have other ways to deal with this Griffin Knight Squadron?"

Ariel frowned again, and said suspiciously: "You know, the title of the other party's sky overlord is not just called casually."

"Dear Fifth Princess, you just said that the Griffin Knight is almost invulnerable because of the heavy armor, right?"

Lei Xiao asked calmly, "Then how is the other party's magic resistance?"

"Magic is indeed the opponent's flaw, but the key problem is that the Griffin Knights are flying too high, and the magic can't hit the opponent at all."

Ariel tilted her head, with a confused expression on her face, obviously she didn't understand the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.

"Don't worry, you'll know everything in a while."

Lei Xiao maintained a faint smile, and an imperceptible murderous aura quietly emerged.

On the vast battlefield, looking at the roaring sky, the Griffon Knight Squadron, which is comparable to a heavy bomber group.

From all over the camp of the Holy Night Army, bursts of excited cheers resounded immediately.

Among them, especially the commander of the siege army who was already at a loss, ignited a strong fighting spirit again, and immediately began to reorganize the chaotic formation.

However, including Bai Lao, our Lengyan defenders in the three fortresses all looked uneasy, and looked at the sky worriedly.

A hundred years ago, the holy night army used a griffin squadron to kill a royal brigade, but it became a classic battle, and it left a lot of shadows in the hearts of many Lengyan soldiers.

You know, the elite royal brigade that was killed was equivalent to a 10,000-strong army.

It is true that even in the face of a fortress garrisoned by ten thousand people, the role that a griffin squadron of one hundred people can play is relatively limited after all.

But with the addition of the Holy Night Army attacking the city below the city, so that the sky and the ground work together, it is not just as simple as one plus one.

Somewhere in the middle army of the Holy Night Army, they saw the Griffin Squadron galloping towards them, but there was no sign of excitement on the face of the fourth-rank middle-aged deputy general of the Holy Night Army.

He looked away, and said to the one-eyed old man hidden in the soldiers: "Master Red Devil, isn't it a little too hasty to sacrifice the trump card of the Griffin Squadron now?"

"The containment force at the empty fortress is already unstable. If the old man doesn't take any action, I'm afraid that legion will be forcibly eaten by the other side, and the old man's plan will be completely disrupted at that time."

The red devil still had the indifferent expression of planning and planning, and said calmly: "The puppet knight's charge and magic bombardment at the empty fortress just now were definitely not done by the shy white old man. It seems that this mysterious helping hand is indeed a little clever. .”

"So, the other party is deliberately forcing me to show my cards?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged lieutenant-general looked suddenly enlightened, and said in surprise: "What is the origin of that mysterious helping hand?!"

After a pause, the middle-aged lieutenant general added: "You know, this Griffin Squadron is what I'm going to use with the strongest hole card."

"Don't worry, cleverness is cleverness after all, and nothing can be changed."

Slightly waving his hand, the Red Devil said calmly: "Then let me take a good look at how the other party deals with this elite griffin squadron. If you want to wipe out this trump card of the old man, I am afraid that the other party does not have the ability."

"What Lord Red Devil said is very true. For a hundred years, the Cold Flame Army has never defeated my Holy Night's Sky Knights. As long as my Griffin Squadron hovers in the sky and drops bombs, the opponent can only watch helplessly. It's on top of my head!"

The middle-aged lieutenant general smiled and echoed.

Just as the two of them were talking.

Whoop, whoop!

In the dark night, accompanied by low and violent roars, it is even more soul-stirring.

Between the huge wings stretching, the Griffin Knight Squadron galloping in the shape of a "human" is already very close to the empty fortress where Lei Xiao and others are.

At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was in a hidden place on the mountainside, could even faintly hear the "thump, thump" sound made by the griffins when they flapped their wings.

"Is the handsome debut over? Then it's time for me to show my talents."

The corners of Lei Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and then he opened his mouth and gave the order to attack another hole card that he had already prepared.

At the same time as Lei Xiao issued the order, a sharper roar sounded from the mountains behind the fortress.

In the sky, ten dark-brown flying monsters, in the shape of a "one", suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

The huge stature of these flying monsters is almost comparable to that of griffins. Their sharp long beaks, colorful ridges on their heads, and slender wings formed by skin membranes are extremely eye-catching.

In addition, there is also a fully armed flying knight on the body of each flying monster.

I saw that these knights were all dressed in silver plate armor, with colorful streamers shining on them.

From the perspective of brilliance, it is obviously more dazzling than the splendor of those black armored griffin knights.

Needless to say, this is Lei Xiao's third-tier pterosaur knight team with fourth-tier equipment.

The reason why the pterosaur knight team headed by Xiao En appeared here was another deployment made by Lei Xiao after Ariel's encouragement ended.

As for the secluded cave that Xiao En and the others were monitoring, it was temporarily handed over to the old housekeeper Ward.

"I didn't expect that the pterosaur knight team, which was deployed in a prepared way, really came in handy."

Lei Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the flying knights who were loyal to him in the sky, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

"Although the strength of our Sky Pterosaur is comparable to that of the opponent's Griffin, its speed and maneuverability are much higher than the opponent's. In addition, the opponent's Griffon is also wearing heavy armor, which further increases the strength of the opponent's Griffon. gap."

"The most important thing is that I also equipped each pterosaur knight with several secret weapons, which are enough to catch the opponent off guard."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing awe-inspiring expression on his face, and said in his heart: "Since a mere griffin squadron can destroy a large group of elite troops, then let my pterodactyl knight squad , let’s crush your century-old myth of invincibility.”
