Chapter 656: No One Left Behind (Part I)
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ............"
The rapid sound of the drums sounded, and at the sound of the rapid drums, the griffin knights, who had already been ready to go, immediately turned over and jumped onto their mounts. The griffons wore iron armor and had sharp blades tied to their four claws. This is precisely one of the most feared weapons of the griffin knights, and unlike the knights on the ground, their weapon is not the knight's spear, but the griffon's claws. The griffon's claws are one of the sharpest weapons in the world, and they do best at diving down from the air and tearing their prey apart with their claws. This is one of the reasons why the Griffin Legion is invincible, after all, ordinary armies that can only operate on the ground are almost helpless in the face of such an attack from the sky.
This is one of the reasons why the griffon army was able to defeat the dragons, the lions could hunt a white rabbit, but there was nothing they could do about the flies. And when these flies also have sharp claws that are sharp enough to tear the skin of the dragons, it is even more of a headache.
Everything is ready to go.
Looking at the knights behind him, Ankka smiled a little. In any case, these are his men, and like himself, they carry the dreams and glory of the Griffon Legion. Although, it was not a glorious war. But, no matter what, they are also fighting to protect the Empire......... Although such a battle is somewhat ironic.
"My lord, we've arrived at our destination!!"
At this moment, on the ground in the distance, you can already see the sporadic lights. Even from the air, Anka could clearly see the beautiful city like a blooming flower. See the city. Ankka also couldn't help but sigh in his heart, of course he had heard the rumors of Passus City. Before, Ankka thought it was just exaggerated artistic processing. But now it looks like the city is beautiful.
I don't know if His Majesty made this choice wisely.
As the guardian of the Holy City. Anka naturally understands how great the White City is, and at the moment, the city is much stronger than the White City, except for its slightly smaller size. To be honest, Anka is not willing to be an enemy of the forces that can build such a city, but unfortunately, as a courtier, he can only do what he is told.
Thinking of this, Ankka lowered his head and glanced at the side of his mount. On either side of the griffin's lion-like body hung four or five wooden barrels about the size of a wine jug. It's also the griffon's killer, and if you throw it to the ground, it will cause a violent explosion and a sea of flames like a landslide. And this is also the most important task of Ankka and his party this time, thinking that such a beautiful city is about to be engulfed by raging flames, Ankka actually feels a little complicated in his heart, but ............ This is the price that must be paid for being an enemy of the Holy Kingdom.
Sighing softly, Ankh collected his thoughts and looked ahead. Gripping the reins in his hand. At this moment, sensing the master's movements, the griffin under him had tensed its muscles, and the attendants on both sides had released the heavy iron rope from the griffin's ankles so that it could take off.
"The Third Griffin Legion listens......... Let's go............!! ”
While giving the order loudly. The next moment Ankka grabbed the reins in his hand and shook it hard, and then he heard the griffon beneath him roar violently, and then ran forward as fast as he could. Then he leaped to the edge of the platform, and the next moment the huge wings spread out on either side of the griffon. With it and its owner, it flew straight into the night sky.
Hovering in the night sky, you can feel the howling cold wind blowing in front of you. Ankka felt a hint of excitement. He felt this every time he rode a griffin through the sky. It would make Ankka feel as if he was part of the sky, as if he were an eagle flying above the sky, and the beasts of the earth, no matter how fierce they were, could pose no threat to themselves. Because, he is the king of the sky!!
Under Anka's leadership, the griffin legion rushed forward quickly, and thousands of griffin knights lined up in a row, flying towards the city of Passus in the distance.
And at this moment, dozens of dazzling points of light suddenly flashed in front of Anka's eyes.
"That's ..............."
Looking at the point of light in the distance, Ankka couldn't help but be stunned. At first, he thought it was starlight in the distance. But it didn't take long for Ankka to notice that something was wrong, because the light was too bright and too dense. At first, it was only five or six points, but in the blink of an eye, it instantly turned into hundreds of points of light, what is it?
And at this time, something suddenly came to Anka's mind, and his face suddenly changed.
"Whole army, dodge moves, open the protective shield!!"
Almost as soon as Anka gave the order, hundreds of dazzling beams of light whistled through the night sky and shot towards the griffon legion in front of them. Then I saw the torrent of light rushing forward without stopping, and the next moment it collided with the griffon army that couldn't dodge.
If it had been another force, I am afraid that it would have been turned into ashes in this raging sea. But the Griffin Legion, as the ace elite of the Holy Kingdom Seth, naturally would not be killed so easily. Just when the five inverted pyramids were about to be hit by the beams, they suddenly saw golden brilliance emerge in front of the inverted pyramids, and they quickly transformed into patterns composed of sacred words, and then formed an incomparably hard barrier, forcibly resisting the bombardment of the beams. Those silver-white dazzling beams of light burst out after hitting the golden barrier, and for a moment I saw bursts of fire in front of me, and explosions like thunder and furious waves were everywhere in my ears.
Even Ankka was embarrassed at the moment, there was a beam of light that came at him impartially, and fortunately, Anka's manipulation skills were skilled enough, and at the last moment, he forcibly manipulated the griffin under him to avoid the bombardment of the beam, but even so Ankka was not able to retreat with his whole body, and his mount's tail was grazed by the beam, and a large area was scorched. At this moment, there was already a cry of anger, and you can imagine what would happen if you were really hit head-on by that beam.
However, at this moment, Anka did not have the happiness of the rest of his life, on the contrary, he looked behind him with a blue face. Due to Anka's order, one-fifth of the guards of the Third Griffin Legion had already taken off with him, and their luck was obviously not as good as Anka's, when Anka turned his head and looked back, he saw that the knights behind him were more than half of them, and you didn't need to ask to know where the missing people went.
And even those five sacred spires are not much better at the moment, although these five sacred spires are blessed by the sun god Amunla himself during the battle of the saints, and they have the protection of the gods, and there is no way to hurt them by waiting for an idle attack. However, this time the bombardment was clearly extraordinary, although it could not completely penetrate the protection of the sacred spire, but the fluctuations caused by the explosion also affected the platform of the sacred spire. A lot of people are running around, not knowing what they're doing.
Who exactly?
This question hardly needs to be asked as there is only one answer.
The heavy clouds in front of him dispersed, and the next moment, under the light of the moon, an incomparably huge fortress appeared in front of Anka.
"This ..............."
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he saw this huge fortress with his own eyes, even Anka couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
In good conscience, Ankka didn't take the enemy lightly, and before coming here, he had also investigated the information about Jenn's magic fortress. However, those literal materials are not as convincing as those of personal experience. And now, in the middle of the sky, looking at the Magic Fortress in front of him, Ankka realized how huge this fortress was -- if this fortress was a fin whale swimming in the ocean, then they were nothing more than tadpoles.
What bad luck!!
Seeing this scene, Anka also secretly complained in his heart, although he also thought that it was possible to face the other party's magic fortress, but in Anka's mind, such a huge magic fortress must be very slow to move, and it is also easy to find. Therefore, as long as you take precautions in advance, and then take advantage of the situation and leave. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to have a complete insight into their intentions, and actually came up with a trick to wait for the rabbit -- damn it, how could that hillbilly know that he would come to attack tonight?
Ankh definitely didn't think that this was the other party's blind cat bumping into the dead mouse, the other party's intention was obvious, whether it was the time or strength of the attack, it far exceeded the ordinary temptation. Obviously, the other party not only knows who he is, but also what he is here for.
But......... This hillbilly is really a dead hand!!
Looking at the Magic Fortress that was slowly approaching, Anka's face was also pale, if it was the Dragon Legion, then he still had the strength to fight, but how to deal with such a huge Magic Fortress? But the question is, how exactly did the other party know that they were coming? Could it be that there is a tip-off inside the Holy State Seth?
Damn it!!
Regardless of the truth of the matter, the most important thing now is to regroup the army, at this moment, those griffin knights in the back have panicked when they see the huge magic fortress, and as their commander, if Ankka does not command in time, I am afraid they don't know what to do.
But before Ankka could turn around, a lazy voice appeared in his ears.
"General Anka, I'm going to leave so soon, I'm a little too impatient........."
With these words, the next moment, Ankka saw a figure appear in front of him. (To be continued.) )
