Chapter 534: Aerial Bombardment
"That's right."
Huang Cheng's analysis disappointed Wang Guan slightly.
After just a few seconds of disillusionment, he had already figured out that the use of the Storm Gryphon in hunting top-notch magical beasts did have great limitations.
But then again, it can't be that all battles are extremely unfavorable. There will always be times when a one-sided strike by a Storm Gryphon with a ranged pro can be very effective.
For example, this time the Giant Tree Banyan Lord.
It is extraordinarily large, more than 30 meters tall, and is very conspicuous. In this valley of thorns, it is simply a bright target. Using spells with an area of effect that can be used to deal effective damage with a slight bit of accuracy.
In addition, throwing boulders, while capable of long-range hitting, is too cumbersome. Flat throwing is okay, but it's not easy to use against air. Unless you're unlucky, it's almost impossible for a high-speed Storm Griffin to be smashed with a little attention, or a little higher altitude!
"Don't be overly revered for the Storm Griffin, but don't take it lightly either."
Fang Jin patted the crown on the shoulder and said, "Although it is indeed restrictive, under certain circumstances, the Storm Griffin can play a miraculous role. If it weren't for that, why would I attach so much importance to the Huangshan Monster Belt and set up a branch here? ”
After saying this, he beckoned to Huang Cheng: "You go back to the city immediately, recruit the members of our griffon regiment, secondment their griffons, and all the professionals who have mastered the fire range spell - remember, don't have a fear of heights!" ”
Previously, the Silver Warband itself was fighting in the Valley of Thorns, and if they set fire to it, it would alarm the siege of all kinds of vines. But the next crusade against the giant tree Banyan Lord was a simple air battle. No matter how powerful the vines are, they can't fly into the sky, so naturally there is no need to worry.
The professionals of the guild can fully exert the killing of fire-based magic on plant-based demonic beasts!
………
With a silver light, Huang Cheng's body disappeared in the light of the Huicheng scroll.
It will take a lot of time to recruit seconded griffons and bring people to them. Fang Jin was also unwilling to be stunned, and continued to lead the team to level up near the Valley of Thorns.
A few hours later, as the sun was sinking in the west, a group of griffons of various sizes appeared from the distant sky and flew in pairs.
Obviously, the griffons that flew in a straight line were much faster than they had traveled all the way through the mountains and mountains.
Wei Gong, who had been immersed in hitting the silver rank and wanted to catch up with the brocade as quickly as possible, couldn't help but glance at it with a little envy, and said, "The griffin is really a good thing, it seems that I will get one immediately when I go back this time." ”
"And me!"
Several other high-ranking members of the Silver War Group also made up their minds one after another. They have already seen that the popularity of griffons and the full empty-riding are a major trend in the future development of the Guild of the Rescuers.
No one will be stupid enough to go against the tide, put convenient things and don't use them, and they can't get along with themselves!
After a few minutes, eighteen griffons slowed down and slowly landed in a nearby clearing. The woods, which used to be quiet, suddenly became lively.
"There's nothing to say, just be careful not to be knocked down, and then just bombard yourself with fire-based spells throughout the process."
Fang Jin's pre-war mobilization was so concise and clear for the first time, and then with a wave of his hand, he gave the order to go to battle.
Of course, in addition to these eighteen griffins, he and Xue Feifei also had one griffon each. The two immediately followed behind the griffons and took to the skies to watch the battle.
Soon, a large number of storm griffons flew over the lake deep in the Valley of Thorns.
After losing its target, the giant banyan lord returned to his original lake peninsula. The ground that had churned nearby slowly returned to its original state as its roots wriggled. Except for the anomaly of the soil, which is almost the same as before.
"It's the big tree!"
Fang Jin pointed to the target, then clasped his hands to his chest, and stood on the back of his Black Flame Storm Griffin first, watching the first air cavalry battle of the Salvation Guild.
It can be seen that the eighteen mages led by Lu An are also very excited about "bullying" a lord on a griffin for the first time. Under Fang Jin's simple guidance, they divided into two teams at an altitude of 60 meters in the air, took the range of the peninsula as the boundary, and first rehearsed and flew twice. After getting used to it a little, they chanted spells together in the same tune as Luan.
Flame Knife, Magma Hammer, Great Fireball......
These are some of the most commonly used fire spells by other bronze mages.
Although the level 15 mastery of Infernal Flame is extraordinarily powerful, it has a relatively short effective range, so it is not suitable for this combat mode.
For a moment, the flames in the sky roared and fell, smashing down on the canopy and leaves of the giant banyan lord.
Except for a few people who cast spells in flight for the first time and had no experience shooting off at all, most of the other fire spells basically hit the target, but the landing point was a little off. But it doesn't matter, the splashed magic flames inherently restrain these plant-based demonic beasts. Even if it is a lord, it is impossible to be completely unaffected.
The first round of spells blasted down, and the large branches and leaves were already scorched and burning.
The attack from the air immediately alarmed the giant tree lord. Fueled by anger and pain, it immediately rolled its drooping branches into the sky. The arms that had thrown rocks before also regrew and began to coalesce into boulders.
However, the Storm Griffin's flight speed and altitude determine that its counterattack is extremely weak.
At first, these mages were still a little worried, and deliberately distracted from the Banyan Lord's attack. But they soon discovered that the height of the branches could only be rolled up to more than twenty meters at most. Even the longest branches that grow above the canopy of trees will never be able to get them.
And the thrown rocks, the accuracy is even more pitiful.
Often, the griffons they were riding on had already flown dozens of meters before the rocks whistled and flew, and finally they all ran out of strength and fluttered and fell into the clear water.
Knowing this, the mages became emboldened and began to throw all kinds of fire spells unscrupulously.
Among them, the most conspicuous is undoubtedly the silver-level Lu An.
He first gave the opponent a set of Ignite, causing continuous scorch damage and increasing the subsequent fire spell damage, and then the Flame Burst + other fire spells looped indefinitely.
With Xue Feifei's wisdom enlightenment, plus the mage's ancient memories, and the ignited percentage damage bonus, this flame explosion technique will be able to catch up with the level 25 ultimate Meteor Shower...... Well, one of the waves of damage from the rain of fire!
The dense canopy of the giant tree banyan lord was suddenly blasted out of a large hole with a diameter of seven or eight meters.
Even if it immediately released a special sap, and could use some kind of water-based magic to extinguish the fire and restore its own vitality, it still couldn't stop the unscrupulous siege of the fire mages.
"Cool!"
For the first time, the elemental mages who attacked so unscrupulously were all in high spirits. Constantly eating mana potions, a gorgeous and grand fireworks show was staged, and the entire canopy of the banyan tree was completely burned black.
The Lord of the Giant Tree, who was beaten and unable to fight back effectively, panicked to the extreme, pulled out his rhizome and ran into chaos in the Valley of Thorns, hoping to get rid of the sea of fire that fell from the sky.
But the mages who killed Xing Xing did not hesitate to catch up, eliminate all evil, and kill them all!
This is a special battle that has never been seen in the past 2 years!
