Chapter 101: A Pyrrhic Victory
"Wow"
As Richard ignited his last remaining fighting spirit and launched an attack,
The griffons of heaven also gathered in the sky above the two sides,
Dozens of royal griffons silently converged over the battlefield, and as Richard gave the order in his mind, he started the dive of death,
These expensive air units, Richard is generally reluctant to let them directly participate in the war, compared to the ground forces can be replenished at any time, all the air units in Richard's hands can only rely on the system to recruit every week,
In the past, Richard only used griffons for reconnaissance, harassment, or harvesting.
But now they have become the hole cards in Richard's hand to turn the tide and the last straw that crushes the camel's back.
"Bell, bell......"
Richard, who had been using flexible fighting tactics in the battle and tried his best to avoid fighting with Hello head-on, slammed directly from the front this time, opening and closing his sword dance with both hands, and had no intention of leaving any more strength.
Although Hello has a slight upper hand in strength, he can only temporarily parry in the face of Richard's unrelenting style of play.
And what Richard wants is to parry with all his heart, and the swooping griffin is getting closer and closer,
The sound of the eagle's cry had already aroused Hello's alertness, and although Hello's attention was completely drawn to Richard's front, he also sensed the danger approaching,
The swooping royal griffin has already aimed its claws at the back of Hello's head, and the rapidly descending griffin may be able to directly complete the overkill of Hello.
"Bang!"
At this critical moment, Hello violently blocked the long sword that Richard slashed down, turned around and swung his stick to shoot down the griffin overhead,
"Bang!"
Hello's blow hit the griffon's stomach,
The griffon, which had fallen heavily to the ground, coughed up a large amount of blood and let out a "hiss" wail, and it seemed that it was not alive.
However, Richard didn't have time to feel sorry for his precious air unit at this time, so he took advantage of Ha Hao's sideways and used his fighting spirit with all his might, and a diagonal slash directly cut off Ha Hao's left arm.
"Ahh
The pain of the broken arm made Ha Hao's expression distort a little, and the right hand holding the mace waved like a vent and smashed it into Richard in front of him.
"Bell!"
After the long sword blocked the attacking mace, Richard still attacked strongly,
There was more than one griffon in the sky, and two more griffons swooped down towards Ha Lao.
Now that he has a broken arm and is seriously injured, Hello can't escape the attack of the griffon.
The griffon's claws snapped directly into the back of Hello's neck,
Even if the life force is strong, the ogre warrior will find it difficult to stand firm in the face of a heavy blow to the back of the neck.
Hello only felt weak, and the whole body was uncontrollably about to fall forward,
"Poof!"
As if it was Ha Hao himself who hit Richard's sword, Richard raised his long sword, and Ha Hao fell towards the tip of the sword, and the long sword attached to this fighting spirit broke through the iron armor on his body, and stabbed through the ......
Ha Hao has actually learned a lot under Gruge, and his tactical literacy is completely above the leaders of the various ogre tribes.
knows how to basically reconnoitre, knows that to occupy important places, and will set aside a certain number of troops for cavalry to take corresponding precautions.
But after all calculations, there is still no such powerful air force as the griffin under Richard's command,
When the griffin swooped, he was not prepared at all, and he was caught off guard by the beating, and he could only hold a grudge under Richard's sword,
Always have one more hole card than your enemies......
The effects of Hello's death are rapidly fermenting, and the attacking ogres are inevitably shaken.
Especially the group of ogres around Hello who witnessed Hello being killed by Richard were even more demoralized.
In addition, Richard no longer cared about the griffin's attrition, and ordered the griffin to directly participate in ground battles and fully support the lord's coalition forces on the flank,
The coalition front gradually stabilized and began to attempt a counteroffensive,
The two sides were already evenly matched, and they were fighting with their breath under the stalemate, and now that Hello was dead, the morale of the coalition forces with griffin air support had greatly increased,
On the ogre side, because of the death of Ha Hao, he was directly discharged in one breath, and he could no longer maintain the balance of power on the battlefield.
This is also one of the disadvantages of the brave fighting faction, although the main general can greatly boost morale, but as long as there is any accident in the main general, the morale will collapse faster than any time.
The ogres began to grow weaker, and after a moment of dying struggle, the conscripted tribal warriors were the first to fled.
And their escape affected the descendants brought out by Ha Hao, these elite ogre warriors in heavy armor were still insisting on fighting, but they were also coerced by the escape of the tribal warriors, and finally had to join the fleeing team.
And how could the coalition side let the ogres escape easily, without Richard's greeting, the lords took the initiative to start the pursuit,
The coalition soldiers chased after the ogre in cheers, as if they were not the ones who had been beaten and nearly collapsed.
……
Sunset
A fierce chase finally came to an end, and the Coalition soldiers gradually stopped the pursuit by Richard's orders, and all returned to camp before dark.
After the battle, Richard finally had time to clean up the battle damage,
It's okay if you don't clean it up, as soon as the battle damage is cleaned up, Richard is as distressed as a knife.
The loss of the spearmen was directly more than half, the crusaders, who had never suffered casualties under Richard's careful use, also lost two people, the royal griffin also lost ten, the Flying Bear army suffered more than five hundred casualties, only the marksman retreated to the rear of the line without much loss,
The allied cavalry suffered heavy losses because they were forced to charge the battle by Richard.
The losses of the lords of each family were not small, and there were thousands of casualties in total, and even two lords were killed directly in battle.
The main thing was the instability of the flanks, which caused the crusaders and several lords distributed in that section to face the impact of a large number of ogres, and finally ran out of energy and were beaten to death.
Only the soldiers produced by the system, Richard dared to scatter them and distribute them on the front line to maintain the stability of the front.
Only these system soldiers, who completely regard death as home on the battlefield and have a constant and high morale, can not be affected by the collapsed friendly army, and even in turn drive the friendly army and play the role of nails on the battlefield.
However, the nails were too tough, and a lot of them were broken.
"Quiel"
"Pass my order, the army will rest for the night, and tomorrow morning the camp will return to the Bander Leader to rest."
"Yes, sir."
After this disastrous victory, the strength of the coalition forces also dropped to less than 5,000, and the battle loss rate was close to one-third, and they had to retreat to rest and rebuild.
…
"A brilliant victory!"
"Gain 22,840 XP"
"Congratulations on your upgrade!"
After arranging the next matters, Richard opened the interface of the hero invincible in his consciousness,
This battle may seem like a huge loss to others, but Richard knows that he himself will definitely not lose.
Open the character panel, this experience made Richard directly upgrade to level 7, and it is not much different from the next upgrade, and various attributes have also been slightly improved,
Now Richard's panel is:

The extra skill points can only be pointed at the Qingzhi Qi Induction Technique, and after thinking about it, Richard didn't use it, and was ready to keep it in his hand first,
Because he will soon be able to move up to level eight, the strategic skill of offensive skills should be even more important to Richard......
