Chapter 829: Griffin (Three Chapters in One)

April is the season for the Holy Continent to warm up, but this year's spring is still affected by the climate, and it is still very cold, and this abnormal weather makes the winter wheat that was already ready to be harvested in the Holy Continent slow down.

As a result, farmers cannot continue to farm, and new crops cannot be planted, which makes the already desperate human beings even more helpless.

And in a wheat field in the Principality of Thunder, where some ears of wheat had just grown, an army of 20,000 knights was marching through the wheat field.

Next to the wheat field, the unclosed eyes of the slain farmer seemed to be looking at the still growing wheat field unwillingly.

"How long will it take to reach the Duchy of Kamai?" asked the eldest prince Alec to the Grand Knight Commander beside him.

"Your Highness Alec, we will be able to enter the territory of the Duchy of Kamai in half a day!" replied the Grand Knight with a bow.

This powerful legion of knights is the legion of the Kingdom of St. Ellis led by the Grand Prince Alec, and they rely on two hundred griffon knights in the sky to strangle all the lives they encounter along the way.

Along the way, thousands of nobles and commoners had been killed, and as many as fifty mid-level wizards had been dispatched to hide the traces of the legion and the logistics army of up to 30,000 people that followed behind them.

Before the concentration of the legion, the intelligence system of the Kingdom of St. Ellis had made every effort to completely wipe out the immature intelligence system of the Principality of Kamai, which allowed them to reach the Principality of Kamai by surprise.

Originally, according to recent principles, this powerful legion should have marched towards the territory of the former Duchy of Keen, but the eldest prince Alec vetoed this proposal.

He believes that only Harry Castle is the real center of the entire Principality of Kamai, and as long as Harry Castle is destroyed, then the Principality of Kamai will naturally fall.

So I chose a longer road, taking a detour into the Duchy of Thunder, and from here into the Duchy of Kamai, going straight to Harry's Castle.

The eldest prince Alec is not confident enough for this war, and the 20,000 knight legion looks like a lot, but the size of the knight legion of the Principality of Kamai has also reached more than 10,000, and according to the intelligence, in recent years, the number of great knights of the Principality of Kamai has increased a lot.

In addition to the increase in the number of great knights in the Principality of Kamai, the strength of the knights has also been greatly improved.

This has to mention the knight welfare of the Principality of Kamai, countless resources have been invested, so that the growth of knights is extremely rapid, and it generally takes more than ten years or even longer for a junior official knight to become a senior knight.

However, in the Principality of Kamai, as long as there are gifted knights, a large number of knight cultivation potions, and various auxiliary foods for knight cultivation, this process can be shortened to several years.

The other is the Grand Knight of Bodlei, the leader of the Knight Legion of the Principality of Kamai, who has extremely strong leadership skills, and in several wars, the Grand Knight of Bodleian has shown extremely strong command ability.

Finally, there is the equipment, the chief knight of the Principality of Kamai can basically get the equipment created by Abel himself, and even the ordinary knights are also wearing knight equipment from the dwarf clan.

This kind of welfare is not to mention the various principalities, even the knights in the three major empires are envious, which also makes the knight legion of the Principality of Kamai not as good as the Kingdom of St. Ellis in terms of numbers, but the difference in strength is not much.

In the air, two hundred griffin knights are already the largest number of empty horsemen that the Kingdom of St. Ellis can send, but it is the air riders that the eldest prince Alec is most worried about.

Because the Sky Ship of the Principality of Kamai was too powerful, if it weren't for the fact that it was not as fast as the Griffin Knight, then there would be no need to think about this air battle at all, but even so, he didn't think that he could achieve a clear advantage in the air.

The eldest prince Alec is most assured of the power of wizards, this time the kingdom of St. Ellis sent almost all the wizards in the empire, and the strength of its wizards almost crushed the wizarding circle of the Principality of Kamai.

The only variable is Abel himself, whose past record is so eye-catching that it makes the eldest prince Alec feel less confident about it.

The eldest prince Alec was against the war, but he also knew that the feud had already been settled as his father, His Majesty Emperor Ambrose, thought, and Abel was not one to laugh at the grudge.

Now the development momentum of the Principality of Kamai is too strong, and for some reason, the Harvest City of the Principality of Kamai is almost unlimited to provide a steady stream of food for the growing population of the entire Principality of Kamai.

At a time when other empires and principalities were strapped for food and could not feed their citizens, a strong principality that could provide enough food was attractive to knights and nobles.

Not to mention knights and nobles, even some capable commoners, but also desperately want to become citizens of the Principality of Kamai.

If the Principality of Kamai is allowed to develop like this, without waiting for the food crisis to end, its strength will most likely exceed that of the Kingdom of St. Alice, and if the Kingdom of St. Alice does not take action at that time, Abel will take the initiative to retaliate against the Kingdom of St. Alice.

The eldest prince Alec's eyes looked at the four luxurious carriages in the knight legion, where the ancestor of the empire and the three seventeenth-level wizards were there, and his heart couldn't help but relax.

How strong the ancestor is, the empire has gone through countless ups and downs, no matter how difficult it is, in the end, it is the ancestor who will solve the enemy.

A high-level wizard of the eighteenth level, a god-like existence in the Holy Continent.

The eldest prince Alec looked at the two hundred carts at the front of the logistics team following the knight legion, which were pulled by the heaviest brute oxen.

The carts were loaded with the Empire's war machines, from ballistas to catapults, enough to wipe out a city.

"Da-da-da!" came the sound of horses' hooves, and then an Imperial scout, already covered in dust, approached.

"Report!" cried out the scout.

"Say!" said the eldest prince Alec, who did not look at the scout, but looked ahead, as if he saw the border of the Duchy of Kamai.

"There's a barracks up ahead!" the scout said loudly.

"What, how can there be a barracks, this is the land of the Principality of Thunder, how can the Principality of Thunder build a barracks in front?"

The strength of the Principality of Thunder has been weakened to the extreme, and now except for a few large cities that can still be defended, all the other territories are being robbed of resources by many principalities.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the Principality of Thunder borders the Principality of Kamai, the Principality of Thunder would have been destroyed by other principalities long ago, but even so, the Principality of Thunder has been robbed of various resources over and over again.

Therefore, the Holy Ellis Kingdom did not notify the Principality of Thunder of this operation, firstly, for fear of leaking the news, and secondly, the empire did not pay attention to the strength of the five vassal states except for the Principality of Kamai.

After the war with the Principality of Kamai, the five vassal states were already weakened and would be destroyed at any time.

"Your Highness, that barracks is not from the Duchy of Thunder, because it bears the coat of arms of the royal family of the Duke of Kamai!" said the scout, bowing.

"How is it possible, where did he get the information, didn't the intelligence officers we planted in the intelligence system of the Principality of Kamai say that the Principality of Kamai did not get the relevant information?"

If it is a sneak attack, then as long as the Principality of Kamai is not prepared, relying on a large number of war machines, as well as fifty middle-level wizards and four high-level wizards, they can directly kill Harry Castle in Harvest City in a very short time.

But if the Principality of Kamai receives the information, then if it is prepared, the war will be bitter, and even if the empire wins the war, its strength will drop significantly.

The eldest prince Alec had an idea at this time, that is, to turn around immediately, leave here with the legion, and return to the kingdom of St. Alice.

But now it's not something he can go if he wants, a large amount of supplies can't make the legion move quickly, and he only has the right to command this war, and he doesn't have the right to decide whether to fight this war or not.

The war had to be fought, but now there was an accident in the original plan.

"The whole army stops advancing and begins to camp!" ordered the eldest prince Alec in a loud voice.

Immediately the entire legion, with the issuance of the order, soon stopped, and the well-trained knights began to set up camp.

A large amount of timber was brought forward from the rear, and the knights quickly set up the timbers one by one, and the rear auxiliaries also came to the front to help build the camp.

The eldest prince Alec turned around and came to one of the four luxurious carriages.

"Ancestor, the situation has changed, the army of the Principality of Kamai has been waiting for a long time, and even the camp has been built!" he bowed in front of the carriage and reported.

"Alec, the army is under your command, I don't want to ask anything, my three brothers and I will only shoot Abel to kill!" The voice of the ancestor in the carriage was very calm, as if nothing could alarm him.

Hearing the words of the ancestor, the eldest prince Alec regained some confidence, and he bowed down and retreated from the carriage.

"Order all the stone throwers and ballistas to be installed, send more scouts, and have all the griffon knights dispatched, I want to know how many troops the Duchy of Kamai has dispatched!" he instructed one of the Grand Knight Captains beside him as he walked.

At this time, he had already decided to fight a big war with the Duchy of Kamai and Abel, and now there was no room for retreat.

In the barracks on the other side, Abel was listening to the report of the griffin knight, in fact, he had been waiting here with more than 10,000 knights a few days ago.

This is a rare training, regardless of whether you participate in the war or not, as long as you are close to the war, you can feel the war, and it is also a rare experience.

Abel didn't choose to sneak attack, because of the presence of griffin knights, coupled with a large number of mid-level wizards and scouts, a legion of this size could not do a sneak attack.

He needed a perfect victory to make his enemies and those who had a peep at the Principality of Kamai feel the strength of the Principality of Kamai.

Knight Captain Albin was a griffon knight in the Duchy of Kamai, one of the Principality's fourteen flying knights, and he mastered the basics of flying horses in just a few years.

The Griffin Knights are the most honorable knights in the Duchy of Kamai, and the most easily obtained combat exploits, which is why there are a full 400 reserve griffin knights waiting for their opportunity in the reserve of the Griffin Knights.

Where does the opportunity come from, as long as the official Griffin Knight's ability is weaker than the Reserve Griffin Knight, then the official Griffin Knight will become the Reserve Griffon Knight.

The Knight Chief Albin turned out to be a reserve griffin knight, and he trained hard to become an official griffin knight.

Becoming a Griffin Knight gives you access to the attribute Harry's Bow, which bears the royal surname, as well as the best cultivation conditions.

Knight Captain Albin cherishes his status as a griffin knight, and this time the kingdom of St. Ellis launched a war, which made him especially happy, because he had been waiting for this opportunity.

He needs military exploits, he needs to become a nobleman in the Duchy of Kamai.

He also knew that his thoughts were not uncommon, as most of the knights in the entire Principality of Kamai had this idea.

Defeat was never thought of by them, because they had seen the terrifying Sky Ship wielding, and they had the legendary King Abel.

Just as Knight Albin was thinking, the griffons beneath him were already alerting him that an enemy was approaching.

He quickly searched around, and soon found that ten griffon knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis were already surrounding him from a distance of a thousand meters.

These ten griffon knights are very experienced, and the ten griffon knights have blocked almost all of the escape routes of the knight of Albin.

It's a pity that the ten griffon knights still rely on their inherent experience, and they didn't expect the strength of the attribute Harry bow in the hands of the chief of the Albin knights.

These griffin knights of the St. Ellis Kingdom are led by a griffin chief knight, and the combat power of the nine griffin knights completely suppresses the knight chief of Albin in terms of strength.

However, when the first griffin knight approached the knight of Albin for four hundred meters, the attribute Harry bow in the hand of the knight of Albin shot the first arrow.

The griffon knight was about to dodge, and according to his reckoning, dodging the arrow at the griffon's speed would not be a problem.

Because griffons are trained to dodge arrows, arrows will not be able to damage griffin riders at a distance of up to 400 meters.

However, the attribute Harry bow in the hands of the Knight Chief Albin is the attribute Harry bow, due to the improvement of Abel's blacksmith ability, these attribute Harry bows have been qualitatively changed from the first batch of Harry bows at the beginning.

Precious materials make the bow stronger, and if there were no pulleys, the mere pulling of the attribute Harry Bow would have made even a Grand Knight Commander feel difficult.

But with the pulley, only one-eighth of the strength can pull the attribute Harry bow apart, which makes the strength of the Knight Captain Albin can pull the attribute Harry bow nearly a hundred times in a row.

The arrows shot by the Harry Bow at this level of strength were almost invisible in the air, and a streak of air appeared in the air after the arrow was fired, and when the griffin knight of the St. Ellis Kingdom was hit by the arrow, there was a sound of the air exploding, followed by the scream of the griffin knight falling from the griffon.

Then he fired a second arrow, and another Imperial Griffin Knight didn't have time to dodge, and shot it directly.

Unlike the ground in the sky, if the knight is fast enough, he can find a hiding place to avoid arrows.

In the air, griffon knights cannot actively dodge arrows, which requires the cooperation of griffons, and can only dodge but not defend.

Griffon KnightsDue to the griffon's weight, griffon knights do not wear armor, let alone heavy shields, because they carry bows and arrows, as well as a large number of arrows, as well as spears for melee attacks.

Griffons can carry heavy armor and shields, but then the speed of making griffins will be greatly reduced, griffin knights themselves win by speed, plus the Duchy of Kamai has the appearance of sky boats, so that griffin knights can only increase their speed, but not strengthen their defenses.

This made the Imperial Griffin Knight almost no resistance in front of the attribute Harry Bow, and after just a few breaths, only four of the ten Imperial Griffin Knights remained, and the only griffon knight who blocked an arrow was the Griffon Grand Knight Chief.

Although the attribute Harry bow is powerful, the ice armor on the griffin Grand Knight Captain greatly reduces the power of the attribute Harry bow.

"Get out of here, report to His Highness Alec that the other griffon's weapon is too powerful!" the griffon knight shouted, and the griffin beneath him turned around and was about to return.

And in this sky, a full two hundred Imperial Griffin Knights have dropped nearly twenty, and the Imperial Griffin Knights have lost and lost in equipment.

The griffon knights of the Duchy of Kamai were very careful that none of the griffon knights harmed the griffons, because they were ordered not to let the griffons be harmed unless absolutely necessary.

The Imperial Griffin Knights, who were about to retreat, suddenly found that the fourteen griffin knights of the Principality of Kamai had quickly flown towards the camp of the Principality of Kamai, and did not entangle with the Imperial Griffin Knights anymore, and the griffin knights of the Principality of Kamai, who had already achieved the results of the battle, did not chase and kill, increasing the results.

"What's going on?" the Grand Griffon Knight, who was about to return, wondered why the Griffon Knights of the Principality of Kamai, who had already had a clear advantage, left.

A whistle sounded, it was the Imperial Griffin Knights in contact with each other, because the battle just now made them find that their combat strength was not enough to fight the Griffin Knights of the Principality of Kamai, so they gathered together and set up a knight battle formation in the air.

Although there were nearly twenty griffon knights missing in the air, the griffin did not leave, and a flying cavalry battle formation composed of two hundred griffin knights appeared in the air.

Due to the connection of vindictive energy, a piece of ice armor appeared on each griffin knight's body.

To be honest, the griffin knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis are still very powerful, but they are used to being invincible in the sky, and in normal times, they appear in small teams to attack the enemy, and rarely fight in large forces.

They all somewhat forgot that they were still knights, and that the knight battle array was the foundation of knights.

And the most important thing is that the order they received was reconnaissance, which was an important reason why they did not form a battle formation in the first place.

When the fighting spirit flickered and the griffon knights shared the ice armor with all the griffon knights, the morale of these griffon knights soared.

In the barracks, Abel looked at the two hundred griffons in the sky, and there were no knights in his eyes, and these griffons made his eyes red.

Although he got fourteen griffins, only two griffons had been born so far, and these two griffons would not be able to rise into the air for several years, and it would take at least nearly ten years of training to form a real fighting force.

"Blue dragon Emmanuel, I need two hundred griffins!" Abel said as he looked at the blue dragon Emmanuel who was eating the dishes beside him.

In order to bring the blue dragon Emmanuel to come, Abreven Harry's castle cook was also brought into the barracks.

"What's so good about a weak creature like a griffin!" the blue dragon Emmanuel couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Abel's words, but even though he said this, he flew directly into the sky.

As a dragon, the blue dragon Emmanuel was born with the ability to control the air, which allowed him to fly in the same way as a human body, although the speed was a little slower, but a short period of acceleration was not a problem.

The Imperial Griffin Knights were surprised to find that from the barracks of the Principality of Kamai on the ground, a human had flown up, this human was extremely strange, and his blue skin glistened in the sunlight.

"Prepare to attack!" Amid a loud call, the flying horsemen of the Imperial Griffin Knights, who were responsible for recording the situation in the barracks of the Duchy of Kamai, had put away the parchment and exchanged for bows and arrows.

"Mole ants!" the blue dragon Emmanuel looked coldly at the battle formation of the Imperial Griffin Knights, although the fighting spirit in the battle array was getting stronger and stronger, he was not worried at all.

Just on the longbow in the hand of the Imperial Griffin Grand Knight Chief, who was in charge of the main attack at the front of the Imperial Griffin Knight Battle Array, the arrow was wrapped in ice crystals, and an arrow with an ice-based fighting spirit was about to be sent, the blue dragon Emmanuel slightly released a trace of breath.

As a giant dragon that can patrol the oceans around the Holy Continent alone, its strength is beyond doubt, and once its aura completely erupts, it is estimated that there will not be too many humans who can survive in this battlefield.

In order to fulfill Abel's request, the blue dragon Emmanuel carefully released a trace of breath, which was really just a trace.

The Imperial Griffin Grand Knight was about to shoot the Ice Fighting Qi arrow in his hand, when suddenly the griffin under him lost control, although the breath of the Imperial Griffin Grand Knight could not be perceived, but the griffin could sense it.

The dragon's breath drove the two hundred griffons crazy, and there was the dragon's command in it.

The griffons in the air turned around and pecked at their respective masters with their beaks, and from this point of view, Abel's dragon power and the blue dragon Emmanuel's dragon power were not of the same level at all.

Able can make the griffin go crazy and make the ownerless griffin obey his orders, but this kind of griffin with the owner can share the dragon power with its master when it bears the dragon power.

Only those as powerful as the blue dragon Emmanuel can easily let the dragon power completely let the griffin bear and let the griffin betray its master.

Suddenly attacked by their own flying horses, most of the Imperial Griffin Knights did not expect, and in an instant, more than 100 Imperial Griffin Knights were attacked and fell from the griffon, and the griffin who lost his owner was helping the griffin around him to attack his master.

In a short period of time, only two hundred griffons were left in the entire sky, and those imperial griffin knights, even if they were griffin grand knights, falling from such a high altitude would be the end of nine deaths.

The blue dragon Emmanuel ignored the griffin in the sky, his body fell down, and the griffin in the sky automatically followed towards the barracks.

"Blue Dragon Emmanuel, what a good means!" Abel said with a big laugh as he came out to greet Blue Dragon Emmanuel.

"It's not worth mentioning!" said the blue dragon Emmanuel with a smile, and then he said, "What's the use of these low-powered griffins, or I'll get you a batch of dragon beasts from the dragon clan?"

Although he helped Abel, the blue dragon Emmanuel didn't feel that his help was of any use, and he came up with an idea.

"Blue Dragon Emmanuel, although the dragon beast is powerful, you can also see how many people can control the dragon beast with the strength of human beings!" Abel said helplessly.

The dragon beast is an extremely terrifying special spirit beast, with the blood of the dragon clan, although the bloodline is meager, but it also makes its strength strong, it is indeed the best mount.

But the dragon beast is too powerful, and the human who can suppress the dragon beast with the blood of the dragon clan is estimated to have at least the strength of a high-level wizard, but does a high-level wizard with this strength still need a dragon beast to increase his strength?

It is to forcibly get a batch of dragon beasts, whether the proud dragon beasts can really be driven by weak human beings, this is really a question!

So Abel rejected this proposal that sounded good, either the strongest or the best, but the most suitable is the best.

Although the griffin is not very strong, it can become extremely strong when combined with the knight in the air.

On the ground, a single wolf is not very strong, but as soon as it cooperates with the human knight, the knight's strength immediately increases significantly.

These are the truly top-notch mounts, not the ones that are so powerful that they can't match.

"I don't understand humans, Abel, I'm hungry again!" said the blue dragon Emmanuel and walked towards the table again.

"Griffon 24, you choose two hundred from the reserve griffin knights to form a griffin squadron!" Abel said with a smile as the blue dragon Emmanuel left, turning to Griffin 24.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Griffon 24 replied excitedly.

The Griffin Knights were led by him, and it was originally just a small team of only fourteen griffin knights, but now with the addition of two hundred griffins, it can form a squadron of griffon knights.

This is the only squadron of griffin knights outside the kingdom of St. Alice, perhaps the griffin squadron of the Kingdom of St. Alice has ended, as far as Griffin 24 knows, the entire Kingdom of St. Alice's griffin knights are only in their early two hundred.

Now that there are two hundred griffin knights reduced all of a sudden, the griffin knight squadron in the Kingdom of St. Ellis is basically useless.

"Order, the sky boat can come out, keep the sky for me!" Abel then commanded.

Before this, the Sky Ship did not appear, the reason is that Abel did not want to scare away the griffin knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, with the Sky Boat in the air, how could those Imperial Griffin Knights get close to the barracks of the Duchy of Kamai.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the Sky Boat no longer needs to hide.

Following Abel's order, a griffon knight soared into the air and flew into the sky behind the barracks to deliver his orders.

After a while, five sky boats appeared in the sky, and the tips of the crossbow arrows on the top of the sky boat flashed with cold light, and the round ball of light above the lightning spiral was full of energy, and the white light illuminated the sky boat like a treasure.

"What about the griffon knights, why hasn't a griffon knight returned?" It had been a while since the eldest prince Alec sent the griffon knight, and the griffon knight should have returned to report to him, but until this time a griffon knight had not returned.

Originally, he was afraid that the griffon knights would suffer heavy losses, so he would send all the griffon knights out, because the griffin knights are the same flying horses as the knights on the ground, and the more they are, the stronger they are.

It can be said that in the sky, once the number of griffin knights reaches two hundred, they can crush almost any flying horse in air combat.

Even the flying spirit beasts among the high-grade spirit beasts had to be avoided in front of the two hundred griffin knights.

But such a powerful squadron of flying cavalry disappeared silently, which made it acceptable.

In order to breed griffins, the Kingdom of St. Ellis has spent countless efforts and resources.

Abel had always thought that his fourteen griffons had only bred two griffons in a few years, but he didn't know how those fourteen griffons could have two offspring so quickly if it weren't for the crops fed by the spring of the three goddesses synthesized by the Heradic cubes.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis has invested countless resources to have a griffin squadron of two hundred griffin knights, and in the past hundred years, the number of the entire griffin squadron has been maintained at about two hundred, and the important reason why it cannot make a breakthrough is that the griffins need too many resources.

The eldest prince Alec roared a few times and didn't say anything more, but his face was very ugly, and the disappearance of the griffin knight squadron had demoralized the legions of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.

At this time, it was not early, and neither the eldest prince Alec nor Abel had any intention of continuing the war today.

In a war of this scale, there are only real face-to-face battles, all intrigues and tricks are useless, everything depends on strength.
