Chapter 632: A Desperate Battle

Under Sylvia's arrangement, the attack group sent by the First Fleet continued to pounce on the fleet of the Imperial Navy, but of course their actions were much more cautious, and after knowing the enemy's plan, this attack group had been turned into a huge, fragrant bait by the Emperor ** trap.

And at this time, the emperor ** who was thinking that he had a plan was still acting in an orderly manner according to their plan, and the emperor ** combined fleet at sea began to slow down the escape without a trace after confirming that the reinforcements had come out, and the attack force of Adric had also passed through the magic portal and hurried towards the direction given by Marshall, at the same time, among the emperor ** stationed in this coastal area, there were also some local flying troops rushing towards the battlefield at sea.

Including the naval fleet's own air power, Adric's army, and these imperial flight units in the coastal areas, the emperor ** has dispatched a total of more than 30,000 flight troops under Kendall's arrangement, and for this battle, Kendall is determined to win.

It was this number that made Marshall, the commander of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy, have great confidence, because he now knows that the flight troops sent by the Alliance Army are only 10,000 people, and the number of Angel Warriors on his side is far greater than the number of dragons in the Alliance Army, so whether it is in terms of quantity or quality, he thinks that the Emperor ** has gained the upper hand, and these comparisons make this Imperial General who is actually only an average in his own ability secretly complacent, so even after the battle starts, He also did not notice anything unusual about the actions of the Coalition forces.

On the contrary, he was overjoyed that his flying units in different waves were able to withstand the enemy's attack with more success than he had imagined, because for for him, the longer the enemy was dragged by the navy at sea, and the slower he reached his fleet, the more secure his personal safety became.

He even had the idea that the combat effectiveness of the flight units of the Union Army was no more than that, but he did not expect that in fact, the Union Army was just deliberately releasing water, Marshall wanted to delay time, and the Union Army also had the same idea, and the two sides coincided.

On the Union side, the former Bracada Admiral Huey, who was in charge of directing the battle on the spot, was now a human magician who was finally able to marry the Naga princess in the open, and now he was an important general of the Alliance Navy, he had good ability, he had a keen sense of the battlefield, and he was quick to accept the new tactics of the Alliance Navy, and he could learn and apply them, and his experience made him loyal without any problems, so he has always been quite used by Sylvia, He is the commander of the Second Fleet, which is being formed in Slvian.

After learning of the Emperor's plan, Huey began to change the combat mode of the First Fleet's flight unit according to Sylvia's instructions, and it happened that the Imperial Navy sent flight units in waves to harass and divert a lot of battles with the Alliance Army flight unit led by him, so he pretended to be overwhelmed by the harassment of the Emperor **, and began to play a game of cat and mouse with the enemy at sea.

As a result, when the main force of the emperor ** emerged from the sky, Huey was only able to kill in front of the imperial naval fleet.

Although he was mentally prepared, but seeing the black and suppressed emperor ** griffin cluster that was killed by the left and right wings from afar, Huey still couldn't help but feel a little hairy, the griffins are quite spiritual, good at hand-to-hand combat, and can fly, and the degree is not slow, although it needs to be commanded like low-level undead creatures, but its performance on the battlefield is much stronger than those low-level undead creatures who are slow, these already fierce creatures have been trained by the griffin knights, even if they face the dragon alone, they are often fearless, And in many cases, even if a griffon knight is killed, the remaining well-trained griffons will often chase after the enemy they deem to be, which is very difficult.

Seeing that the enemy was strong, Huey gave up the plan to engage the enemy first and then retreat, and immediately ordered a retreat, he was really not sure that he could retreat with his troops under the siege of such a large number of griffin clusters, and he also calculated that the enemy would definitely catch up - the emperor ** made such a big move, of course, he would not sit back and watch the enemy slip away from his eyes, and one of their important goals was to capture the warships of the Alliance Army, and they wanted to find the Alliance fleet that had been haunting the sea, in addition to following the enemy, They don't have a good solution.

In fact, due to the tactics of the Alliance Navy, the great technical superiority of warships, and the excellent early warning system, it is quite difficult for any power hostile to the Alliance to find the exact location of the First Fleet at sea today.

So a chase battle unfolded in the sunny blue sky and blue sea, the alliance army put on a frightened appearance and retreated, and the emperor's griffin group was in hot pursuit, although limited to the distance between the two sides of the hand-to-hand combat did not live, but the magic attack is in full swing, the alliance army has many magicians riding on the poisonous scorpion lion to help, the emperor ** side this time under Kendall's careful planning, but also organized a team of elite magicians riding royal griffins with nearly 100 people to help, From time to time, all kinds of magic spells cast by Israel flashed in the sky, and the magical elements in the air were chaotic.

At this time, Adric, like Marshall, did not notice anything wrong, and most of the griffin knight's mind was now spent on how to effectively orient and calculate how long the griffons had enough physical strength to sustain the battle without relying on references on the vast sea.

Adric was not accustomed to the very different environment of the ocean from the land, and the constant sight reminded him of the huge desert on the border between the Bracada and Krurod regions he had visited in his early years, and to make matters worse, there was no place for the griffons to rest on the ocean.

So the pressure on Adric was quite high, his reverence for the sea even exceeded that of the enemy he was facing, and at the same time, he finally realized how amazing the enemy's navy was to transport it, and how wise the Lord Regent Kendall was to take this battle.

"If the empire also has the magical warship that the alliance has, then the griffin legion can fight at sea in a formation, and it can even be through the sea, so that the emperor can directly carry a large number of troops to attack the belly of the enemy's coastal areas."

Looking at the equally black and oppressive backs of the enemy in the distance, as well as the eye-catching huge body of the dragon in it, Adric, who had a strategic vision, couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, and finally agreed with Kendall's battle plan for the first time, which was originally quite a defeat in his mind.

Although the Imperial Navy is as close to the coastline as possible, this distance still makes the griffons consume a lot of physical strength, and the next step is to destroy the fleeing enemy in front of them, and it will inevitably take a hard time to snatch the enemy's warships, so he knows very well that he can't chase far.

But what makes him helpless is that the latest order Kendall gives him is to chase as far as he wants.

Because Kendall's plan was to capture the enemy ships and then use them to rest, in Kendall's opinion, even if the enemy had the means to carry so many dragons and flying troops to the sea, the size of his fleet must be quite amazing, and if Adric succeeded in capturing the enemy's warships, it should be no problem to make do with it.

But this is undoubtedly an extremely risky act, because so far, the Empire has too little information about the alliance naval fleet, and no one knows what kind of accidents will occur when capturing the battleship, if the enemy's fleet is too strong and fails to capture the ship, then Adric's griffon army can definitely only be buried in the sea.

It was not impossible, after seeing that the enemy had hundreds of dragons, Adric had advised Kendall to abandon the plan, because he felt that the enemy's fleet had reached an astonishing number of hundreds of ships in terms of one dragon and one ship, and the number of soldiers on them was even more impressive, and it was really difficult to achieve it with 30,000 griffons to capture the enemy's heavily protected fleet.

But Kendall had a different opinion, he believed that the enemy only had more than a hundred warships, because there was intelligence that the enemy's warships could carry more than one dragon, and after losing so much space and deducting the number of enemy flying troops, the number of enemy soldiers on the ships could not be too much, and the combat effectiveness of the battleships themselves should not be strong, otherwise, the enemy's flying troops should be more, and the enemy's fleet would not always hide and dare not see people.

Based on this judgment, Kendall told Edric to continue the attack.

Also taking the risk of the Emperor's operation this time must face a huge threat that the enemy fleet may have a similar attack method as the Doomsday Blade, although this possibility is not high, because in the battle with the Bracada Navy, the Alliance Navy did not win with this, and even if the other party did have this kind of weapon, it should not risk taking it to sea away from Nican soil, but this risk is not impossible.

However, the regent of the empire is determined to seize a new type of warship from the alliance, and Adric has no choice, he knows very well that for Kendall, it is not an unacceptable thing to exchange 30,000 griffons for the enemy's new warship, the empire is not short of griffins now, but there is no advanced shipbuilding technology, with the current situation of the empire and the good breeding ability of griffins, 30,000 griffons can be regained in a few years, and advanced shipbuilding technology is unlikely to be realized in the short term, so of course Kendall is willing to bet on this, Because he believed that after capturing the enemy's warship and obtaining the technology in it, it would definitely bring great benefits to the empire, and at worst, he could also understand some of the enemy's strength through this battle.

And in order to let Adric have no worries, Kendall even gave him a teleportation scroll for escape, which is rare in the empire and can directly teleport the user back to the imperial capital, but it is precisely because of this that Catherine did not use this kind of scroll when she was sniped by the Cregans, because her personality determined that she could not leave her army and return to the imperial capital alone.

Adric's personality also meant that he was reluctant to use such a scroll, so he suffered from the worst possible situation along the way.

And he also learned that the commander of the enemy fleet was Sylvia, the one who had fought with him under Catherine's banner.

He and Sylvia are not only colleagues, but also friends, but because they made different choices at the beginning, they are now enemies, and they are about to meet each other today, so his mood is really bad.

After chasing the distance for some time, Adric was horrified to realize that what he had encountered today was far worse than he had imagined the worst.

Because although the griffon army was still within his pre-designated attack range at this time, what appeared in front of the griffin army was not the huge fleet of the enemy that Kendall had planned, but an army of Negan's flying troops that was far more amazing in number and stronger than the imperial griffin army.

What's worse is that the enemy's army is very insidiously stuck at a low altitude not much from the sea, so when the attention is completely attracted by the enemy flying force that has been chasing the griffins until now, the distance between the two sides is quite close.

At least for the incredible dragons, that distance was enough for them to deliver a deadly blow to their enemies.

Thousands of dragons soared from the surface of the sea like sharp arrows, and then swooped down on the griffin herd led by Adric, and behind these dragons were countless harpies and venomous manticores.

And those enemy flying units that the griffin group had been chasing also turned their heads at this time, but they had no intention of joining the battlefield in front of them, and from the fact that the other party was in a roundabout, it was not difficult for Adric to judge that the other party's target was the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet, which had been left far behind by both sides.

Adric's heart, at this moment, sank directly from his chest to the soles of his feet.

He didn't know what was wrong, it was obviously the emperor ** who was designing to deal with the enemy, but in the blink of an eye, the situation seemed to have become the enemy, and in turn he had been calculating the emperor**.

But in the face of a formidable enemy, he did not choose to retreat, and the griffon knight heroically commanded his army to meet the enemy - in the face of dragons that flew far faster and more numerous than griffins, it was not a smart choice to turn around and flee, it would only make the griffons lose faster, so Adric chose to fight to the death.

The veteran griffin knight knew that the army he had brought with him today would never return to land.

There were tears in his eyes.

But his eyes remained steadfast, and the silver whistle that was used to command the griffons blew out one whistle after another from his mouth that represented various commands.

Then the flying forces of the two sides collided viciously like two tides in completely different directions.

Sylvia personally led the dragon legion and the staggering number of harpy and poisonous scorpion that Jian Chen transferred to her, and she had been waiting for the emperor ** for a long time in this sea area.

Thousands of dragons and tens of thousands of harpies and poisonous scorpions gave her an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and she was more sure of annihilating the enemy, including destroying the enemy's fleet used as bait.

But Sylvia's mood is not very good, she is unexpectedly present, although she has been mentally prepared, but when she really plays against the emperor, she is still very uncomfortable.

Especially when she recognized from the markings on some of the griffons that it was actually Adric's command, her mood was even worse.

Adrick and she really have a good relationship, and in the last big battle, the two were together and faced each other.

But now, the two are on the battlefield in different camps, commanding their respective armies in a fierce battle.

It was an absolutely one-sided and tragic fight.
