Chapter 52: The First War

Marshal Gramont mobilized an army of 3,000 in half a day, and the three of Haotian led a total of 37 people from the griffons, unicorns, and Chimera, three magical knights, to accompany Gramont to the village of Tarubb, which was invaded by Albion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Albion's invasion was smaller, with only a floating warship and about fifteen hundred soldiers on it. The float ship was a hundred meters above the ground, which could not be reached by ordinary attacks, and the float ship had dozens of guns firing from top to bottom, and it took only two hours to break through the village of Tarub and crush the army of the local lord. Now I'm having a party on the ship.

"Your Excellency, under your leadership, Albion will be invincible. Sooner or later, Toristine will also be in our pocket. "In the ship's banquet hall, the general toasted Kolomwe.

Kolomwe was very proud, touching his mustache: "Where, where." This also depends on the general's leadership. ”

"This invasion of Toristine, no one would have imagined that we would be so quick to take our opponent by surprise after the civil war. What if Toristin sent an army? ”

"That Toristine? You must know that they only have a total of more than 10,000 troops, and we can still mobilize about 50,000 troops on our own soil, and Toristin will not dare to fight. In the end, this will only be a tacit acquiescence, and we will gain a territory on the main continent, build a port on it, and drive Albion's army in. ”

"At that point, Toristine will be meat on a sticky board."

"That's it, General."

"Cheers to Albion."

"No, cheers to restore the Alliance."

"Yes, cheers to regain the Alliance." "Cheers." "Cheers."

While the Albion invasion army was feasting and drinking, a dark shadow appeared in front of the scouts on the top of the ship.

The scout pulled himself together and leaned closer to look in which direction the telescope was going.

Hundreds of cavalry, followed by thousands of infantry. There were also a dozen griffon knights flying in the sky.

"It's the enemy, and the enemy is coming." The scouts quickly sounded the ship's alarm, and the shrill whistle resounded through the floating warship.

"The enemy is coming." "It's Torlistine's army." "Quick, get to your place."

"Toristin actually came?" Kolomwe looked surprised.

"Your Excellency, I'm going to command the battle." The general put down his glass and walked briskly out of the banquet hall.

The floating warship slowly reoriented, facing Gramon's army, and unfurled its muzzle.

More than a dozen dragon knights took off from the spaceship and swept towards the army.

"Boom" "Boom" The flying dragon is a fire dragon, opening its mouth at a height of about ten meters above the head of the army to spit out blazing flames and burning in the crowd. At one time, dozens of people were killed and wounded.

"It's the Dragon Knights, where are the griffons?!!" Grammon shouted.

"Leave it to me, griffons, and follow me into the air." Haotian straddles the griffin assigned to him, and William and other members of the griffin team also ride on the griffin. After running in the open space for a while, they took off one after another to meet the fire dragon knights.

It's a battle of low-altitude flying knights, and the dragon knights spot the griffons and turn around to meet them. The dragon opened its mouth and fired flames at the griffons.

"Don't use the wind blade, use the wind to blow the flame back." Haotian shouted loudly.

A burst of fire struck at him, and the griffon beneath him was restless and tried to dodge.

"Dever, absorb the flames." Haotian pulled out his sword and stretched it out to the front.

"Leave it to me, buddy." The sword body glowed, and the flames were absorbed into the sword body by the attraction emitted by the tip of the sword as soon as it approached.

"Little one, go on, catch up with that red lizard." Haotian clamped his legs and pointed his sword at the fire dragon knight who attacked him.

"Quack!!" Beneath him, the griffon was in high spirits, flapping its wings and approaching the dragon.

The Fire Dragon Knight was a middle-aged man with a stern expression. As the griffin approached, he drew his sword from his waist.

"Dever, Flame Blast." Haotian didn't compete with him in swordsmanship, and with a swing of the sword, the flames he had absorbed just now spewed out at close range, enveloping the fire dragon and his knight. A flame burned on the back of the fire dragon, and the fire dragon fell down with a scream.

Solve one, Haotian raises the height and observes the surroundings.

The griffons are all magicians who can cast spells, but the fire dragon has more fire-breathing abilities than the griffon. You and I went back and forth on both sides, and for a while they were evenly matched, and people were shot down.

Haotian saw William confront the fire dragon's fireball head-on with a large fireball, pushing the flames towards the fire dragon to solve an enemy. "William, charge my sword." Haotian shouted at him.

William nodded, approached Haotian, and controlled the power to chant a weakened version of the flame explosion.

Haotian used Dev to absorb all the powerful firepower, and the sword body shone red.

"William, protect on my flank. I'm going to attack. ”

William nodded, driving the griffin to follow Haotian not far away.

"Come on, little one, Dever." Haotian pointed at the sword body, found a target and rushed out.

"Quack!!" "Oh, I'm full of power."

The griffin flies faster than the fire dragon, and every time Haotian approaches the enemy, it sends out flames from the blade of the sword to engulf the enemy. And the enemy's attack was intercepted by William in the air with a fireball.

For a time, the Fire Dragon Knights suffered heavy losses.

"That team of griffon knights, it's troublesome. Attack them with artillery. ”

"But, General, our dragon knights are down there." The gunner was stunned.

"I can't care so much, if it goes on like this, the dragon knights will all die below and fire." The general slapped the gunner on the head.

"Got it, General." The gunner turned the gun long, and so did the gunners around him.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

The artillery was pouring fire on the ground troops, but now it fired at the area where the dragon knights and griffons were fighting, and the black shells slashed in front of them, and they landed with a loud bang. The dragons and griffins were frightened.

Occasionally, a single shot of dozens of shells hit the flying knight, and with a single explosion, the knight and his mount turned blackened and fell straight down.

Haotian was especially taken care of, and at least five cannonballs hit him.

Haotian and William detonated the cannonball in mid-air with a fireball, and they were not shot down for a while.

"You can't continue the fight, griffins, and after leaving the battlefield to the left, return to the rear."

"William, we'll split up." Hao Tianchong said to his deputy.

"Got it." The two griffons separated, leading the members of the griffon team around the battlefield out of the bombarded area.

The Fire Dragon Knights also gathered up their remnants and stopped fighting.

After the griffin team landed, it turned out that there were only 11 people except Haotian, and only 8 people remained, and three people died.

"You're all good, we've done what we have to do." Haotian said warmly. "The enemy's fire dragon knight losses are more than twice as high as ours, and we have stopped the blow of the ground forces of the fire dragon knights."

The surviving griffons were basking in the grief of their companion's death, and they were filled with pride when they heard it.

Haotian nodded to William, handed the rest to William, and returned to Gramon's place.

The advance of the ground forces was difficult to advance in the artillery strike, and when the artillery attacked the griffins, the archers were successfully covered to the hillside. There were about 200 archers, with explosives strapped to their bows and arrows, and they threw bows and arrows at the floating warships in the distance.

"Bang bang" and "boom" explosions were heard everywhere on the spacecraft, and there were more potholes on the surface. But compared to the huge hull for a time it is difficult to take effect.

"If only there was a fire-type [Quartet Level] here." Gramon looked at the spaceship in the distance and was very angry, "A few [flame explosions] go down, don't burn it to ashes." ”

"The marshal is an earth-based [Quartet level], right, isn't there any magic that can help us?" Earth-based [Triangle] Rove asked. "Can't you summon a twenty-meter-tall earth puppet to destroy the hull?"

"My magic is different from the normal earth system, and I can only summon a puppet the size of a person." Gramont shook his head.

"If the flames explode, William and I of the Griffin Team will be able to do it." Jett spoke.

"No, you don't have enough cast range. Only two shots may not necessarily kill the effective part. ”

Haotian walked in: "In that case, how about I complete that blow?" My sword can store half of the [Flame Burst] of energy, and I will send it out with all my might when I ride the griffon close to the floating ship. ”

"Half-haired [Flame Burst]? No, it's not powerful enough. The surface of the ship was reinforced with magic, and damage below 10 degrees could not cause much damage. Gramont again vetoed.

Several people fell silent.

The damage to the outer hull slowly accumulated, and the ship's altitude slowly decreased.

But the ground forces were also heavy under the artillery bombardment, and when the archer troops were almost consumed, the artillery also stopped bombarding. The ship descended to a height, dropped the rope, and one by one the soldiers slid down the rope and charged at the Torristeen ground troops.

The Toristine ground troops, whose formation was destroyed, were slashed to the ground for a while.

"I can't stand it, I'm going to attack with the unicorn troops." Rove clenched his fists and left the command post.

Soon, seventeen unicorns with a height of one man led the following three teams at the end of the curtain and charged at the enemy.

The unicorn is far more powerful than a horse, and the unicorn can even penetrate armor. Combined with the knight's magic and swordsmanship, it is often the sharpest blade. Under Rove's leadership, seventeen unicorns plunged into the enemy line like steel knives, and the unicorns ran wildly, knocking the enemy troops away in their path. The knight on his body uses fireballs, wind blades, earth cones, and ground spikes to effectively harvest the lives of nearby enemies.

Soon, the unicorn struck through the enemy camp and turned around to fight again.

The mana-depleted unicorn rider threw away his wand, drew his sword, and began to slash.

Back and forth, the seventeen unicorns killed at least three hundred people, and greatly disrupted the enemy's formation.

The unicorns who had once again penetrated the enemy army also exhausted their strength, and only 12 of the seventeen returned, and the rest were dragged down by the enemy on the way, and were surrounded by many enemy troops on the battlefield and died.

Rove was out of breath and rested with his men and did not come.

The unicorn attack gave the Toristine ground forces a chance to regroup, and soon the outnumbered Torristins crushed the Albion soldiers.

"There's no chance, let's take it off." The general said coldly, abandoned the ground forces, and raised the ship.

There were three or four hundred Albion soldiers left on the ground, cursing that they had been killed or captured by the Torristeen soldiers.

The airship slowly rose to a height of 100 meters, turned around, and seemed to leave here.

"Why, we still have artillery, keep fighting." Kolomwe said angrily to the general.

"Yes, yes. But our ground forces are no longer enough to occupy the area, and even if we continue to harass, it will be of little use. Let's just go home, replenish the troops, and come back again, Lord Kolomwe. The general said calmly.

Kolomwe's expression slowly calmed down: "Okay, you are a general, and you should be listened to in the war." ”

"I'm glad you think so, Your Excellency."

The float veers turn around.

Ground Torristin's attacks rarely reach this height, and a few bows and arrows are not effective.

"It seems that this time this time is over, and it can be regarded as driving out the invading army. It's just that it's not cool. Marshal Gramont slammed his fist on the wooden table, looking angry.

"The enemy's mind must be on the ship, and he can only watch them run away. Damn it. ”

Haotian looked at the big guy and couldn't help thinking: If only Louise were here. Louise's Void was so powerful that it would have been able to take down the ship.
