Chapter 732: Irresistible**
Strictly speaking, the air battle between the Entagri Empire and the Erathia Empire was not too exciting, but the impact of this air battle on the later wars on the continent of Erathia was unprecedentedly far-reaching. 9078.8C3A4I6h5o7n8g67e9n8x0u2e30.9c7o9m81,
As a result of this war, the concept of air supremacy began to take root in the hearts of the people, and the flying units and the air battlefield began to receive unprecedented attention.
However, after all, these are all later, and the Erathia Army at this time did not have such a concept of air supremacy, and did not pay so much attention to the flight troops and the air battlefield.
Even if the griffin has made countless achievements in the establishment of the Erathia Empire, the Erathia Empire also has the nickname of the Griffon Empire, and even the logo of the Erathia Empire is also a griffin, and the griffin knights are even more famous on the continent, but in fact, the Erathia Empire, which was established in the plains, attaches more importance to cavalry troops than griffin troops.
For the Erathian Empire, the griffin is just a guard for the knights to cover the sky, and in this vast empire, the knights are the real protagonists, and the cavalry is the real main force.
Using griffons to pin down the enemy's flying units, and then using a powerful cavalry swarm to flank the enemy's ground forces is the classic tactic of the Erathian Army.
Historically, the Erathian army has defeated countless enemies with this tactic, firmly grasped the richest plains on the continent in the hands of the knights, and achieved the name of the strongest in the Erathian Empire.
It's just that these glorious past events can't hide the fact that the Erathian army is tactically backward compared to the Entagre army with the traverser.
The appearance of Jian Chen has made unprecedented changes in this unchanging world in all aspects, and the battlefield is of course no exception.
Superstitious about the power of cavalry and obsessed with ground battlefield confrontations, the Erathia Army has not been able to face up to the Achilles heel of its own flying forces.
Then on the plains battlefield at the junction of Hammondale and Bailders, this weakness was infinitely magnified by the Ntagrean army.
"Enemy Flying Units Attack"
The scouts' return upset Inheim for a while.
After leading his troops to this plain area according to Kendall's arrangement, he painstakingly formulated a variety of response plans for the possible reactions of the Entagre army.
He'd envisioned the enemy being the first to attack with a Doomblade-like attack, he'd envisioned the enemy using a magic portal to flank him, and he'd envisioned the enemy making a fuss about their air superiority.
But he never imagined that the fierce enemy would stop advancing far away, and then ignore the ground battlefield, and only send flying troops to engage him.
Even if Heim attaches importance to the air battlefield, such an almost complete abandonment of ground warfare is a bit too extreme.
However, this extreme approach seems to be very effective.
Inheim was caught off guard by his opponent's actions.
As a clear-headed general, Inheim quickly understood what his flying force of griffons and a handful of angels could do when it was alone against the enemy's flying force of dragons, angels, demons, manticores, and harpies.
In previous battles with the Ntagrean army, Inheim did not pay much attention to the description of the enemy's flying units.
The defeat in the southern seas and the defeat of Bairders have shown how powerless the Elasia Army's flying forces were when faced with the well-equipped and fast flying forces of the Entagre Army alone, even in the case of superior numbers.
Therefore, Inheim did not dare to send his own flying troops to meet the enemy alone.
But Inheim is a great player after all.
After making sure that his opponent was not carrying a large airdrop, he ordered to hold on.
In order to deal with the enemy's possible attack similar to the Doomsday Blade, he had already built a huge camp on this plain, set up a large number of shelters, and had been fighting with the Farouk army, and the famous imperial general who knew the power of the Doomsday Blade was not as optimistic as Kendal who believed that he could withstand the enemy's magic attack with only a few magic scrolls, which was just an emergency measure, and it was not safe.
Inheim believed that these shelters would not only protect his side from the enemy's magical attacks, similar to the Doom Blade, but also be effective against the crossbow arrows used by the enemy Harpy as described in the intelligence.
In this way, even if the enemy has air superiority, he will not be able to inflict any serious damage on his army.
He had his ground troops use the shelter to hold the camp, and he had the magicians enchant the griffons to increase their speed and combat effectiveness.
But instead of letting the griffons take off, he let them also stand by in the camp, ready to wait for the opportunity to move, the griffons will cause a lot of casualties in the air, whether facing the enemy's magic or the enemy's crossbow arrows, because Heim does not want to be succeeded by the enemy, he intends to withstand the enemy's attacks first, and then let the group of griffons with the blessing of magic launch a counterattack.
The appearance of the Erathia Army, which was obedient and would rather be beaten passively than preserve its combat power in the air, made the Entagri Army a little surprised.
"I'm smart."
Jian Chen, who rode on the black dragon Diodoras to fight in person, said in a sigh after receiving information about the enemy's movements.
"But isn't it a little too underestimating me? Do you really think I can't do anything about you? ”
Then, with his well-built flying unit, he swaggered and flew over the sky not far from the Erathia military camp.
"Megalomaniacal guy"
After discovering that he could clearly observe the enemy's movements with the naked eye without even the help of the magic vision, Inheim couldn't help but curse in a low voice, no matter how calm he was.
Because the performance of the Entagree Army is indeed too arrogant.
This total force reached tens of thousands, including a considerable number of flying troops of strong warlike races such as dragons, angels, and demons, and under the leadership of its commander, although they did not fly directly into the range of the Elasia army's bows and crossbows, they arrogantly entered the range of the magicians.
They didn't seem to care at all about the possible attack of the Elasia priests' troops, so they stopped in droves in the not too high sky, and prepared to start attacking the Erathian army.
A strong wave of magical elements appeared in the sky.
Inheim's heart tightened instantly.
He was all too familiar with the fluctuations of this magic element, and in the battle with the Farouk army, when the opponent began to use the weapon called the Blade of Doom, the magic element fluctuations in the air were very similar to the magic element fluctuations in the sky today.
But Inheim was also keenly aware that the fluctuation of this magic element in the sky was much worse in strength than the original Doom Blade.
Kendall's judgment seems to be correct.
I just don't know if the other party is using some kind of magic prop, or if there is really a dark magic master in the Entagri army, and I don't know how the other party can protect himself from this magic damage.
With this in mind, Inheim ordered the entire army to prepare for the magical attack of Doomsday Judgment, but secretly engaged in a fierce battle of ideas.
He was hesitating whether he should let his priestly forces attack before the enemy.
As a master magician, Inheim had noticed that it took a while to prepare for an enemy's magical attack, and until then, the priests of the Erathian Army could have completed a round of magical attacks against the Entagre army that came within their range.
But something seemed wrong with Inheim's subconscious sense.
There was really no reason for the Entagrui army to fly so low, and the formation was a little too dense.
They could have condescendingly launched all sorts of attacks against the Erathian army without exposing themselves to the magical range of the Erathian army.
They are now behaving as if they are targets on a magical training ground, desperately waving to the Erathian army, come on, come on, shoot at me.
Moreover, except for the strong magic element fluctuations, there were no other magic element fluctuations in the sky, which showed that the enemy had not prepared any other attack methods except for the doomsday judgment magic in front of him.
Why is that?
Is there any conspiracy on the part of the enemy?
"My lord, look here"
He was hesitating when an officer next to him screamed at the magic screen.
"That's the royal insignia of the enemy army, is the commander of the enemy army their emperor?"
Hearing this, Inheim couldn't help but be moved, and quickly stopped using the naked eye to continue to observe the movements of the enemy in the air, and walked quickly back to the magic screen.
Then he saw that in the center of the magic screen at this time, on the picture that had been magnified by a qi magic master, a huge green flag was waving in the wind, and on top of the oak emblem representing the Entagri Empire, there was a golden crown pattern that was not difficult to distinguish.
In the heraldic science of the continent of Erathia, this golden crown pattern has only one meaning, and that is to represent the royal family or royal family.
Inheim's heart beat faster in an instant.
Of course, he knew that this time the Ntagrui army was attacking in a big way, and it was Chen Jian who personally led the intelligence.
Could it be that the commander of this Entagrui army flying unit in the sky at this time turned out to be the self-proclaimed emperor of the Entagri Empire, Chen Jian?
Looking at the fanatical eyes of the officers and priests around him, Inheim quickly made up his mind.
A magic flare rises over the camp.
It was Inheim's signal for the priests of the Erathian Army to attack.
"Fight"
Inheim clenched his fists, nervously watching the enemy's reaction.
His intellect told him that the enemy's unusual move might be some kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't resist the temptation.
If Jian Chen, as the Emperor of the Entagri Empire, was really among those enemy troops in the sky, even if all of this was a trap, it was a trap worth stepping on.
The temptation is just too great.
If Jian Chen can be captured or killed in this battle, the war between the two countries will quickly come to an end.
Inheim has many grievances with the current regent of the Empire, Kendall, but he and Kendall have a rare agreement on this matter.
Jian Chen is the greatest weakness of the Entagri Empire.
Although Jian Chen himself seems to have realized this weakness and has taken some measures to deal with it, the establishment of the Ntagri Empire is still a little too short after all, and although Jian Chen has married three queens, he has not had time to give birth to any heirs.
And without the soul of Jian Chen, the Entagri Empire would not be the Entagri Empire it is today.
His three queens can't replace his existence at all.
With the launch of the magic flare, the well-trained Imperial Priest troops immediately went into action, and various magical element fluctuations appeared rapidly in the Erathia army, due to the astonishing number of Imperial Priests, this magic element fluctuation immediately formed a strong elemental storm that only magicians could sense.
"Inform the Griffon Knights and Elzac that they are ready to go into battle if the enemy's magical attack is interrupted"
Inheim's voice was a little hoarse, and the situation in front of him couldn't help but be nervous.
Even if you fight all the flying troops, no, even if you fight all the troops, but as long as you can take Chen Jian, then everything is worth it, in the eyes of Inheim at this time, the current Chen Jian is worthy of his burial with 300,000 Erathia troops.
While observing the enemy's reaction with his eyes, Inheim tried to discern the enemy's mage's response by forming an elemental storm among the priests of the Erathian Army.
But the situation was very strange, it was clear that the magic attack of the Erathia army was a clear thing, but the Entagre army did not react at all.
Aside from the elemental fluctuations caused by the original Doomsday magic, Inheim did not sense any other elemental fluctuations in the Entagrean Army.
The Entagrean army was full of confidence, they didn't seem to care about the magical attack that the Erathian army was about to launch, they ignored the threat of the Elasia priests, they didn't even move their position in the air, and just continued to swagger above the heads of the Erathian army.
Inheim's heart began to feel uneasy, but at this moment, he couldn't care so much, he really couldn't find a reason for him to give up the attack.
Then, just as he had expected, the priests of the Erathian army completed their magic and attacked one step ahead of their opponents.
All kinds of attack magic rose into the sky one after another, and the colorful magical light bloomed in the red and black sky as the magic of Doomsday Judgment began to take shape on this winter afternoon, and immediately enveloped the incomparably dense formation of the Entagri Army flying troops in the sky.
But in the blink of an eye, these magical lights were like torches poured over their heads, quickly extinguishing and dissipating around the Entagri Army's flying troops, and then disappeared without a trace.
"What is this?"
"What's going on?"
"Magic Fails"
A wide range of exclamations rang out among the Erathian army.
Inheim's pupils also contracted to the extreme in an instant.
Because Heim was well-informed, and had used anti-magic** against Doomblade attacks in battles with the Farouk Army, he immediately understood why his magical attacks didn't work.
"Magic Immunity Space"
He gritted his teeth and squeezed these six words out of his mouth.
"No wonder they dare to be so arrogant, it turns out that they have nothing to fear, but what the hell is going on, such a large range of magic immunity space, even the earth magic master can't do this"
At this moment, Inheim finally understood the reason why the other party was so arrogant, and then, he realized that the enemy was deliberately making a move against the magician on his side.
"Damn, they're trying to find out about the distribution of our priest forces in this way, they want to prioritize our priest forces and weaken our magical powers"
But Inheim woke up a little too late.
After determining the approximate location of the enemy mage, the mages of the Entagre Army went into action.
Dressed in leather armor and riding on poisonous scorpion lions, these mages used their magic wands to attack the enemy mages with great speed.
Hundreds of meteor shower magic took shape in the sky, and the scene was spectacular.
At this moment, the magicians in the Entagri army who fought this time used all the magic wands that sealed the magic of the meteor fire shower.
After obtaining the magic wand making technology from the Rigner pirates, Chen Jian, who realized the amazing strategic value of this magic wand, used the magic resources in his hands that were far better than the Rigner pirates, as well as the almost inexhaustible magic materials, and always treated the production of this magic wand as a top priority.
However, the production of magic wands is not easy, not to mention that the production method that Jian Chen obtained from the Richner pirates is still the most primitive and slowest method.
Therefore, although the production has not been stopped, the number of magic wands owned by the Entagre army has not been much, although it is barely realized that the magicians in the regular army can have one, but the quality is uneven, and the types of magic are also varied, because the magic department and magic that each maker is good at are different, and in some important battles, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, some powerful magic wands even need to be temporarily seconded in various magician units.
But this situation has been completely broken recently, and the reason why this is the case is because of the addition of the elf family.
The race left over from this miracle era is composed of all women and has a pair of beautiful butterfly wings, although its own combat effectiveness is really not worth mentioning, but because they have mastered part of the technology of the miracle era, they are quite accomplished in alchemy, and because they have lived in seclusion somewhere in the fire element world for a long time with the help of Tanan, they have dealt with fire magic elements for a long time, and have a special understanding of fire magic, so most of them are very good at making fire magic props.
Their appearance has brought about a fundamental change in the alchemy level of the Entagri Empire, which can even be described as a thousand miles in a day
