"Chapter 446: The Return of the Christmas Chariot"
After the Valkyries joined, Louis ordered to dismantle the six Level 4 heavy mortars left by Fang Zi and load them on the car, transport them out of the fortress, and transport them to a place about 300 meters away from the enemy, within the range of the mortars. The gnome gunners turned the dial on the mortar to adjust the angle of attack for the mortar.
"Bump!"
This is the first time that mortars have been used in the Subic region, and even Fang Zi has not been used in combat before. With a loud muffled sound and gushing white smoke, cannonballs larger than watermelons flew out of the barrels and flew in the direction of the Imperial army.
"Boom!"
The cannonballs exploded between the Imperial soldiers, causing huge flames and shock waves, and more than fifty iron balls about one centimeter in diameter were ejected from the explosion, shooting at the surrounding Imperial soldiers.
Even wearing heavy plate armor could not withstand these impactful steel balls. Once hit, even a mid-level fighter will die directly.
The casualties of both armies were on a straight upward trend, with the Empire's vanguard soon suffering nearly half of the casualties, and under the long-range fire bombardment of the Empire and the attacks of the Griffin Knights, Louis estimated that his own losses would not be less than a corps, close to 3,000 men (of which skeletons accounted for 70 percent). Although the Freedom Alliance's losses were relatively small, the battle seemed to be at a disadvantage due to the Empire's ability to draw tens of thousands of griffons from the rear.
Although Louis did not think that the Leon people were a friendly force, he still hoped that Leon could achieve victory, at least facing one or two thousand Leon expeditionary forces far from the rear was much better than directly dealing with hundreds of thousands of griffin troops.
At this time, on the battlefield to the east, the Leon dragoons riding young dragons and young dragons were wreaking havoc in the sky above the griffin troops, and dragon breath of various colors fell from the sky, and the sky battle masters and below were powerless to fight. Even the brave and strong griffin knights need at least five to entangle a Leon dragoon, and they can only entangle, and it is difficult to achieve victory.
The barbarian soldiers, wielding daggers, hammers, and maces, rushed in front of the griffons under the cover of the heavily armed pikemen, and despite the constant resistance of the strong men in the griffin army, they rushed into the formation and knocked the griffons in front of them straight away, even the large shields could not stop their attacks. Although Leon's army is small, they are all very elite, there are many officers of high-level soldiers, and the high-end combat power is more than three times that of the same army of the Griffin Empire, because the encirclement is not yet perfect, the numerical advantage of the empire cannot be reflected, and under the attack of Leon's elite troops and warships, the two sides have even reached a draw, and they cannot decide the winner in a short time.
The battle is still in a stalemate, the battle has begun to enter the white-hot stage, and even in the battle between the two empires, the Magus has already struck, unleashing devastating large-scale magic. Every drop of magic will cause hundreds of casualties in the opposing army, and those spells with bonus magic and negative effects are innumerable, filling the entire battlefield.
While the battle was raging, a huge object was approaching in the distant sky. Along with it, there are also snowstorms and sparks like fireworks, drawing a brilliant arc in the sky.
"Oh roar, merry Christmas! The children! ”
Cheerful laughter came from the sky like thunder, and the warriors who were fighting with their opponents also raised their heads suspiciously and looked in the direction from which the voice came. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of troops stopped fighting, and the generals who commanded the army and the strong men who sat in the army also turned their attention there.
The black dot kept getting closer, faster and frightening, and bigger and bigger.
"Have fun! The joy of the battle! ”
When these words reached the ears of the stunned Imperial soldiers, a Christmas chariot pulled by four dragons had already reached their heads, as if they had teleported. Before they could react, four streams of scorching dragon breath erupted from the dragon's gaping jaws, burning countless Imperial soldiers to the charred bones of their burning, reddish armor.
In the face of this attack, even the elite soldiers of the Griffin Empire directly lost their fighting spirit, and they scattered and fled, dodging the flames, and the solid formation directly collapsed. The Sky Combat Master in the Vanguard of the Empire gave up the battle with the whirlwind Valkyrie Varna in an attempt to divert the chariot capable of destroying a human realm. Unfortunately, he overestimated his speed and underestimated the cunning of the undead, and after being held by a shadow wraith that broke away from invisibility, he also fell to the wyvern's angry breath, and his body was almost charred, and even if he did not die, he would become crippled.
Looking at the tribal soldiers on the other side who were still unscathed after the Wyvern's attack, the officers and soldiers of the Griffin Empire understood the purpose of this chariot. The news that Subic's three warships had crashed by a group of dragons had spread across half the continent, and they had naturally heard about it. It's just that what you see with your own eyes is a thousand times more terrifying than what you hear!
However, at this time, they did not have time to think about why this Wyvern Chariot would help this newly rising unknown force, and under the attack of the four Wyverns, all the thoughts of these griffon soldiers were used to find a way to dodge and escape. Louis himself blew the horn on the city walls, and the army outside the city left and began to advance, stepping on the carcasses of the human body that was steaming and smelling of roasted meat, and rushed forward to pursue and destroy the invading enemy.
The more than 10,000 griffin troops who rushed to support also stopped, they knew that going any further was a dead end, the Imperial forces were not equipped with weapons against dragons or giant high-level monsters, but that thing was installed on the battleship, and now it was used to deal with Leon's dragon knights. And even here, there is no way to deal with four dragons whose strength exceeds that of the Holy Rank at the same time.
Santa Claus was still smiling merrily, occasionally throwing out gifts of candy and bombs, and wondered why he was so happy. However, his appearance did change the situation of the entire battle, even in the battlefield of 100,000 people, the appearance of four flying dragons that had reached the holy level at once could completely control the situation. Especially when the main forces and main weapons are pinned, this vehicle can wipe out all the troops attacking the fortress from the rear, and by the way, clean up the rearguard of the Griffon Empire.
The situation on the battlefield has finally changed, and the scales have begun to tilt in favor of the Free Alliance and the Leon Empire. However, the chaos has only just begun, and those who are waiting in the neighborhood to take advantage and watch the drama are finally ready to do it.
