Chapter 100: The Empress's Personal Expedition
Watching the overwhelming griffin fly over his head, swooping straight in the direction of the border connecting the Tulaone Forest and Hammondal, whether it was Jian Chen or High Priest Ryan, they all felt a little like they were in a dream.
With such a large number of griffons, it is impossible to be a wild griffin, and the only one on the continent of Erathia who has the technology to tamestinate griffons and the ability to form a griffin army is the Elassian Empire.
Reinforcements from the Empire have finally arrived!
When Jian Chen, like the Elven King, thought that the Imperial reinforcements were struggling to clear their way through the snow, Empress Catherine had unexpectedly sent the iconic legion of the Empire to urgently support Hammondal, and even did not hesitate to offend Diya's necromancer for this.
Seeing these fierce beasts in the air with the head of a sphin-like eagle and a pair of huge wings sweeping over his head in groups, the stone that Jian Chen had been hanging in his heart finally fell heavily to the ground.
"Oh my God! How many griffons are there? I'm afraid there are thousands, right? Chen Jian looked up at this rare and spectacular scene and was amazed.
"The main legion of griffons in the empire is five thousand griffons in one legion, and there is no griffin legion in ordinary local garrisons, only griffin wings, five hundred griffons in one unit, and the Marston city where I am stationed is only a combination of three wings, looking at the situation above, it should be that a certain griffin main legion has arrived, Her Majesty the Empress is really generous, and the elves are going to be unlucky."
High Priest Ryan said with a smile, also excited and inexplicable.
"Five thousand?" Jian Chen smacked his tongue, and then complained: "Why didn't Her Majesty the Empress say hello to us in such a military operation?" I knew that I wouldn't have to fight so hard! ”
Jian Chen's words made Ryan, who had lost an Angel Clan warrior, a little gloomy, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction with the Empress's decision: "Of course, Her Majesty has her intentions in doing this, this is not something we can speculate!" As a subject of the Empire, you should not comment on Her Majesty the Empress like this! ”
Speaking of the back, his tone was already a little harsh, and the female magician also secretly pulled Chen Jian's sleeve, Chen Jian shrunk his neck and didn't speak, but secretly he was still slandering.
But these things did not diminish the cheerfulness of the crowd, and in order to prevent the silver pegasus from misunderstanding the griffins, Ryan did not let everyone take to the air, but cheered loudly on the ground.
After a while, the griffons spotted them, and a griffon with different feathers than the other griffons and much larger was flying towards them.
"It's a royal griffin! It is a combat griffin specially bred by the imperial royal family, this kind of griffin is not only more ferocious, but also much stronger than ordinary griffins, and more importantly, some huge royal griffins can also carry people! The sorceress began to taunt her knowledge in front of the lord again, and the lord didn't ask any questions this time, "The knight in charge of commanding the griffons in battle rode on the royal griffin, and used a special silver whistle that emitted griffins to direct the griffons in battle, and a single griffin knight could command hundreds of griffins. ”
Jian Chen fixed his eyes, and sure enough, there was a human knight on the back of the royal griffin that was flying closer and closer.
"But because the manning capacity of these griffons is really limited, the griffin riders must be specially selected, and the size must be as thin as possible, so as to reduce the burden on the griffins and be able to fly in the sky for a longer time. Generally speaking, a knight must be rationed with more than three royal griffons that can carry people, so that the griffons can change when they are short of physical strength, and it is said that these griffin knights are usually strictly controlled diet to avoid weight gain, and they cannot wear any armor and armor, and griffin knights are also proud of their small stature, and some knights consciously reduce their food in order to reduce the burden of their griffins. ”
High Priest Ryan nodded, and gave an affirmation and addition to the sorceress's words: "Yes, and their only weapon is a dagger, which is not intended for them to kill their enemies, but for them to commit suicide in the event of defeat, to prevent the Empire's methods of domesticating griffins and commanding them from falling into the hands of the enemy." ”
Speaking of this, Ryan said to everyone with a serious expression: "From the founding war to the present, the empire has never had a single griffin knight captured by the enemy, only countless griffon knights who died in battle, they are a group of real warriors. ”
The words of the two made Jian Chen couldn't help but be in awe of these griffin knights.
What makes a true warrior? These griffon knights, who were proud to be able to eat less or even no food every day in order to go to war, and committed suicide in order to prevent important information from falling into the hands of the enemy when they were defeated, were true warriors.
Although they don't have powerful martial arts, they don't have magical magic, they can't protect themselves with heavy armor, and even their bodies are so thin that they feel a little weak, but with the silver whistle in their mouths, they can still make the enemy fearful of the blue sky and establish immortal feats.
Since the founding of Erathia, these griffon knights have been leading the griffin legions to firmly guard the airspace of the empire, and in one battle after another, countless enemies have understood the fundamental reason why the Erathia Empire is called the Griffonheart Dynasty.
In a few moments, the griffin knight landed in front of everyone, and sure enough, as the sorceress had described, the knight sitting on the back of the griffin was quite thin, and he wore only a cloth knight's uniform, and the metal work all over his body was a small silver whistle with a beautiful pattern hanging from his chest and a dagger at his waist.
High Priest Ryan saluted the other party with a respectful expression: "It turns out that Lord Adric is here himself!" ”
Adric is currently the most famous griffin knight in the Erathia Empire, and he is also the supreme captain of the Imperial Griffin Legion, with a highly respected status.
What's more, this skinny human is also a heroic figure, he has been very successful in the last great war, and he has led the griffon army and Negan's harpy and manticore in hard battles on many occasions, and finally won the battle.
It is said that he has become so incapable of commanding griffons that some say that he can communicate with them spiritually.
The presence of such a figure in Hammondale, along with an entire main army of griffins, shows that Her Majesty is determined to win this land.
But the greater shock was yet to come, and after greeting everyone, Adric conveyed a bombshell news to everyone: "Her Majesty has also arrived, she is now rushing to the town of Hammondal, you should hurry back as soon as possible, Her Majesty will definitely summon you." ”
The information revealed by this sentence made everyone look at each other, dumbfounded, and hardly believe what their ears heard.
Queen Catherine actually went to Hammondale in person?
The most shocking thing is, of course, Chen Jian, who had spread the news of Empress Catherine's personal expedition in the territory before, but he didn't expect it to come true.
