"Chapter 443: Empire and Empire"
This is an army from the east, another powerful empire from the east of the continent - Leon, the country of dragons, a human kingdom recognized by dragons.
Five massive Leon battleships hoisted their entire sails and headed at full speed towards the Griffin Empire's forces. The magic levitation device at the bottom of the ship is charged to the highest level, and the thrusters behind the ship also breathe out a stream of magic that resembles flames. This is a special way for the Leon Empire's warships to attack, in addition to the 110 cannons on the battleship, these "Dragon"-class battleships also have heavy anti-magic armor and a huge black gold spell-breaking ramming angle on the bow.
The Griffin Empire's army turned neatly and quickly, and except for the previous forward troops, the rest of the army's firepower was all directed towards the Leon army.
The griffon army includes vehicles pulled by large Tier 8 monsters, and these vehicles are intricately constructed magic towers. There is a large translucent magic crystal suspended in mid-air.
After the flag was raised, the magic chariot turned slowly, and the mages stationed on the tower began to recharge the tower.
The magic crystal gradually changed color in the continuous charging, and the abundant energy condensed through the crystal plates around the magic crystal, forming a ray of Leon battleship that shot into the distance.
Even from a distance of two kilometers, the power of the rays still did not decrease, and the Leon battleship evaded and dodged two of the rays, but one of them still hit the first class, causing a small explosion, and directly crossing off half of the bow including the collision angle.
The other two rays hit a troop carrier dropping troops and a fourteen-meter-long red dragon, respectively. The former fell to the ground with dozens of people who were still on the boat, and the latter directly lost a wing, let out a howl of pain, and fell heavily to the ground.
Leon's warship maintained its previous momentum, constantly approaching, and when it was almost a kilometer away from the opponent, the giant cannon in the bow of the ship had already begun to test-fire, although the accuracy was not good, but it was already able to hit the army formation of the Griffin Empire.
The ground forces on both sides were still forming formations, and as they slowly advanced, these heavy weapons had already begun to bomb with their range advantage.
"They're having a good time, should we get a kick?"
Mei Long looked at the two huge forces that were approaching and asked with interest.
"It's a good idea to watch the game, but I don't like it. It's a shame that people are fighting on our turf and we haven't taken action yet. ”
A smile appeared on Louie's face, and he measured the distance between the fort and the two armies with his hand.
"No matter what the Leon Empire is here for, we can't let go of the griffon Empire's gang of bastards. See their vanguard troops, surprise them with twenty rockets! ”
The warships of both sides of Leon came into range, and the magic on the battleships of the Griffon Empire surged, and all types of magic flew towards each other, and the griffons volleyed into the air, waving their wings and rushing towards each other's troops.
"Bump! Touch! Touching ......"
The huge breech guns on the battleship Leon spewed flames, and each time it was fired, the huge guns would retreat into the ship due to the huge recoil, and then the gunners of the intermediate warrior level would push barrels of gunpowder and shells with a diameter of 60 centimeters into the breech, and then ignite the gun fuses again.
However, because both ships have good magic or armor protection systems, except for some high-powered weapons, the effect of conventional attacks on both sides is not obvious.
And the ground forces of the Leon Empire, after a period of land marching, finally approached the ground forces of the Gryphon Empire. Unlike the heavily armored knights of the Griffon Empire, who wore elaborate and ornate armor, the main force of the Leon Empire's army was the barbarian warriors who were more than two meters tall and whose main body parts were protected by armor.
Like the barbarians of the tribal world, these brute force subspecies of humans live by plundering and have found allegiance. In the two hundred years since their allegiance to Emperor Leon, the mighty eastern barbarians have become an important part of the Leon Empire's army.
Armed with heavy war hammers and short axes, the barbarian soldiers stood in the middle of the formation, and when the troops began to charge, they would unleash a rage and rush to the front. At the head of the line, of course, are the Empire's heavily armed pikemen, who can use their halberds and combined skills to pull the knights off their horses.
The griffon knights of the Griffon Empire had already rushed towards the dragon knights riding the young dragons, the dragon's breath gushing out, the roar drowned out by the sound of cannons. A large number of griffon feathers and a lot of dragon scales floated down from the air, and if they happened to be hit, then the average mid-level warrior would also be injured.
The knights of the Griffin Empire were still on standby, and although the crossbow magic of both sides was already flying overhead, they were not making any visible moves. The order had not yet been given, and for some reason, several imperial generals, who had always been known for their vigorous and resolute actions, seemed a little hesitant at this time.
The war came so suddenly, and the griffin soldiers couldn't believe it. They were originally going to attack Subiko, but now they are going to fight the super forces in the east, and the difference between the two is too much.
But at this moment, a loud bang came from behind, and the flames rose into the air, and the shockwave spread wildly. The soldiers looked to the rear and saw that the rear of their army, the vanguard of the previous one, had been bombarded with those weapons, and they subconsciously believed that the rear was under attack.
"Attack!"
In this case, the cavalry commander finally gave the order head-on.
Thousands of heavily armed knights drove one-horned horses under their crotches and attacked the sides of the Leones' formation.
And the small iron cannons of the low-flying troop carriers also fired at them.
Twenty battle master knights unleashed bonus spells and guardian skills together, and the pale golden barrier rose, blocking some of the cannonballs, but many of the horses still fell, and the knights died.
The two Leon dragon knights riding white dragons flew directly over the cavalry unit in the charge, and then spat out white dragon breath. Most of the dragons ridden by the Dragon Knight are baby dragons, but a baby dragon is strong enough to take on a medium human force. In this bone-chilling cold, many griffin knights and their horses were frozen, and the troops behind could only find a way to get around, and the cavalry's charging force was weakened at once.
Leon's flank forces began to retreat, preparing for the onslaught. However, the griffin knights, who were fully charged, suddenly turned a corner, bypassed the original attack route, and swept in front of the Leon infantry, and these heavy cavalry, whose strength was above the high-level intermediate warriors, threw the magic spears behind them, setting off an elemental storm in the Leon infantry.
The knights had also found their true target, the Leon cavalry, who were going to make a detour to attack the rear of the griffon's army, and then rushed directly towards the middle of the beast cavalry troops.
Looking down from the sky, Vic clearly saw the collision of the two armies in the distance, and Leon's army of about 20,000 people was gradually surrounded by an army of griffons six times more numerous than himself, but even so, in the face of Leon's giant warships and dragon knights, the griffin empire still could not form an advantage.
However, Vic doesn't care about the battle between them, as a skeleton captain who has died once, how to play his ship happily is more important than anything else.
He straightened his hat and pulled out his pistol to say something, when a magic ray grazed past the airship, rubbing off a piece of his beloved graffiti. He lost interest now, and after scolding the airship for not resisting the shield a few more times, he waved his hand and motioned for the balloons behind him to start dropping.
