"Boys, jump!"

Vic fired a shot at a balloon in the back, and a large hole was punched in the balloon painted on it, and the barrel on the balloon fell off the balloon.

The barrel was attacked by a lot of magic and arrows during its fall, but this seemingly simple barrel was unusually strong and did not shatter until it reached the ground.

The nearby griffon soldiers immediately dodged to avoid being hit by the strange thing. The barrel did crack when it hit the ground, but it didn't explode, and instead a group of bone soldiers jumped out of the barrel, waving their iron swords and charging at them.

A few skeletons were no threat to these formidable griffons, but when the clouds in the sky began to drop barrels downward, the problem was great. What's more, there are some balloon soldiers hiding in this sea of balloons, dropping bombs on the ground.

The thousand skeleton balloons that Fang Zi and Li Xiaopan had smashed with gold coins before came in handy, and for the griffin army that was caught in a two-front battle, these skeleton soldiers falling from the sky were indeed very troublesome.

But the trouble is not only that, many undead with red-black and orange-black wings also fly in these balloons with their undead followers, on the one hand, to stop the Empire's griffins from destroying the balloon soldiers who lack the ability to fight back, and on the other hand, to throw those hot cuties in their hands into the griffon Empire's troops and give them a "warm" hug.

These flame elves pouring out of those cauldrons were so enthusiastic and eager to care, so when they saw the griffon troops fighting back below, they greeted them in a friendly way, and then spread out to "embrace" them.

The scorching waves of fire elementals swept through everything, and the explosions turned large areas into molten hells, and many griffon soldiers had their legs stained with this magma, even if they were well-armed and strong, they could only cry under the heat.

Seeing this, the Archmages of the Empire immediately unleashed their magic, and the cold air poured out of the staff, and then formed ice on the ground, extending to the magma field, and the two merged together, transforming the magma into smoking hot mud and volcanic rock, although these hot fluids still burn people, but they are much better than molten flames.

Imperial soldiers helped their comrades who were no longer able to walk out of the area, dodging the fireballs dropped by the undead, while crossbowmen and mages fought back against the attackers, shooting down the black-winged undead who could pick up and tear high-level warriors apart, and the undead raiders with flames who could catch Imperial knights and horses and throw them into the air to their deaths.

Low-level undead, leaky balloons, and broken barrels fell in batches, and the number was barely less than the fire rain formed by the Flame Elves, and Louie, who was not in charge of command, continued to project air forces into the battlefield, and he had no pressure on these losses, after all, he did not pay for these battle losses in the end.

The griffon Empire's magicians in luxurious cloaks have almost all stopped their long-range attacks on the approaching ground forces, and instead stopped the attacks of the air enemies and cooled the spreading molten fields, and the griffon air forces in the rear have not yet arrived, and these attacks from the air have already caused nearly one-sixth of the forward force to be attritional.

And Louis did not send those infantry phalanxes to rush forward, but sent out the long-range troops in a separate formation, with the tall royal giants in front, the musketeers and archers followed, Louis sent more than half of the strong troops, these are elite archer troops led by the rangers, and a large number of goblins armed with blowguns with a strange range, the number of these medium and long-range soldiers is more than two thousand, and the five hundred Musketeers of the Free Alliance line followed behind, There are also some Bombermen who are left behind at the necessary moments, and the firepower of these people is dense enough to inflict heavy damage on any regular army on the continent before the opponent gets close.

Obviously, this army in front of you is no exception.

The Griffon Empire's army was equipped with a large amount of siege equipment, and there were several mages with devastating magic, and these powerful weapons and large armies were enough for them to raze the White Oak Fortress to the ground in two hours, and only the Sakturi Fortress could stop them in the entire Subic Kingdom.

Fortunately, Leon's army attracted most of the firepower of heavy weapons, and Louis's army had to face more than half of the long-range pressure. Before the Empire's 5,000 vanguard troops could escape from the air raids, they had to rush forward to meet the Freedom Alliance forces, which had reached their maximum range. The mages unfurled the barrier and unleashed a 100-meter range of magical clearance, but even that could not destroy the enemies and agile undead floating in the air. It wasn't until the fifty griffin knights in the rear began to storm the balloons and the undead that Louis ordered the air force to retreat that the vanguard of the empire continued to endure the bombardment.

Of course, by this time countless shells, arrows, and rockets had rained down on the army. Griffons can flap their wings and blow arrows away, deflect cannonballs, and even grab rockets to direct them away from their own people, and the magic of the magicians and the skills of the strong can have a similar effect, but the Empire's vanguard still suffered a lot of casualties under the constant onslaught. After all, their enemies are no worse than them.

The Imperial knights charged the Free Alliance forces from two directions, while Louis' infantry phalanx began to move forward to meet the ranged troops that were shooting as they retreated. The giant trebuchets mounted on siege engines in the Imperial forces began to throw boulders that would explode when they landed, and the Imperial chariots, which were larger than the main battle tanks of the Earth, also advanced at the speed of war horses, these chariots were more than three meters high, and at the front end was a huge triangular cone, which was also burning with fire, which could not only attack the city but also break through the enemy's military formation.

It may be a little worse than the war between the two great powers on the other side, Louis's troops and the battle scene of more than 5,000 elite troops of the empire, but it also shows that the alliance formed by these three hosts still has the strength to fight in front of the superpowers on the mainland.

But why is this happening?

After all, behind every battle, there are many people who watch the drama and those who plan to profit behind the scenes. And in the cozy bedroom called the Sakturi Fortress, there was indeed a man wearing a crown sitting next to the map, analyzing the battle situation, waiting for the battle report from the teleportation array, stroking the magic crystal ball and thinking about what he planned next.
