Chapter 0696: One Man and Two Beasts Defeat the Thousand Legions
Mellon Craigher didn't dodge, he was standing there. The boulder fell from the sky, and he had no way to dodge. In the moment of losing consciousness, he saw a figure sitting on the back of the giant flying beast.
The boulder smashed Mellon Craich into a meat sauce. The team of two thousand people collapsed in an instant.
"Array!" ordered the infantry commander in a hoarse voice.
A hundred-man infantry quickly formed a formation in the forest.
"Ready!" shouted the infantry commander.
The soldiers drew their bows and arrows. Overhead, however, was a sky of dense branches. The two griffons flew through the treetops of the forest, circling back and forth, making it difficult to hit them. But in the blink of an eye, the griffons flew from one place to another, and they flew close to the treetops, too fast. No one had ever seen such a fast-flying behemoth.
Call!
Another boulder fell from the sky and aimed at the infantry regiments in formation. In the face of the griffins, only a volley of long arrows from an infantry regiment lined up in formation could pose a threat to the griffons.
The boulder broke countless branches and smashed down on the center of the infantry formation.
The soldiers were in an uproar and scattered like ants.
Densely arranged in an array, the combat power of the bow and arrow was concentrated, but it also invisibly became the best target.
Rumble!
The boulder fell, and the soldiers in the center of the formation could not escape in time, and their comrades were blocking their way on all sides.
Several soldiers were smashed into meatloaf. The ground was also smashed out of the pit. The soldiers who were slightly touched were all broken bones and tendons.
The forest obscured the sky, making it difficult for archers to target griffons, and the dense branches of tall trees prevented griffons from flying to the ground to attack people and animals.
"Array!" ordered several hundred-man captains.
A team of 2,000 people can't even deal with one person and two birds?
It was impossible to escape anyway, the horses and cattle were gone, and the ladies and ladies of the nobles also climbed out of the overturned carriage and ox cart, and they were in a state of disarray, many wounded, and many were bleeding. The cries of the children were also heard everywhere. - If you can't escape, then fight to the death.
The only way to deal with the two giant beasts flying around in the sky is to gather the soldiers together and attack with a rain of arrows to attack the two big birds.
Orders were heard one after another, but more and more soldiers fled. Some of the minor nobles were already calling for their guards and soldiers to gather, and they decided to surrender.
Some of the able-bodied soldiers had fled into the depths of the forest, and they did not listen to the orders of the lord or the centurion, but they fled with their own lives.
As soon as Mellon Craich died, there were authoritative generals in the army, but no one would listen to the other. They all fought on their own, giving orders to call their soldiers to line up to meet them.
Will rode on the body of the flame unhurriedly.
It is a small forest, not very large, and to the east of the forest is the mountains, and there is a small river that originates in the mountains and flows into the forest.
It's easiest to find stones in the mountains, especially with two eagle-eyed griffins. At an altitude of thirty meters, it is too easy for a griffon, which can be seen by ants, to find a boulder of one or two hundred catties.
Another infantry formation, hundreds of bows and arrows aimed at the sky.
Will patted Blaze's neck, and Blaze rose high, and out of range, Will gave the command, and the boulder was dropped.
After the boulder was dropped, Will and Blaze didn't even glance at the battle, and immediately flew back to the mountains to carry the stone.
The griffin throws rocks in the air like a sharpshooter, and he misses every shot.
This time, the boulder fell, still right in the center of the team.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, several soldiers were stoned to death.
They stood too densely.
The remnants immediately collapsed.
No matter what the commander shouted, the soldiers ran faster than rabbits.
Boulders fell from the sky, and the screams and splatters of flesh and blood of the soldiers who were stoned to death were terrifying. This is a one-sided slaughter. The two griffons came and went, and the boulder kept falling from the air, and every time it fell, no one could escape. The deep pit in the ground was also crushing, and the force was simply not something that humans could match.
"Surrender, we surrender!" a nobleman shouted into the sky.
Around him, the guards hid under the tree, the wife was crying, the daughter was crying, and the son was trembling against the tree.
"We surrender, Lord Will, we surrender. The other little nobleman shouted harder. His guards were unfortunately killed by the boulder, and all of his wife and children were wounded, and the children were even more seriously wounded, and they were thrown from the frightened carriage, and their heads were broken on the stones of the avenue, and they were bleeding profusely. His bachelor had run away, and the rest of the people were hiding under the trees, and no one would come out to stop his son's bleeding.
The whole family decided to surrender!
The sound of surrender was like a contagion, and the emotions of submission were like a contagion, and the first vulnerable were the ladies, young ladies and children, and then the noble lords and knights, and some of the brave generals and soldiers saw that the general situation was gone, and they took off their family crest and fled on their own.
Knights who are determined to fight to the death cannot gather the soldiers they need, and no individual is vulnerable to griffons.
For a time, the shouts of surrender and submission spread, and the soldiers and generals who fled for their lives scattered like ants.
No one resisted anymore.
The griffons flew to and from the treetops of the forest, flying as fast as lightning, and occasionally smashing down boulders with a deafening rumble, like a trebuchet attacking a crowd.
With dense branches and the flight speed of the griffin itself, the archers who had the heart to put cold arrows had few angles to shoot. And the griffon's eyesight far exceeds that of humans, and anyone who wants to hide under the tree to carry out a sneak attack has long been seen by the griffin. It's just that the people who have a fluke mentality don't know it themselves.
"Whoever goes north, don't kill!" shouted Will as he rode over the flames.
"Those who go north, don't kill!"
After a short while, the team turned around and headed the way it came.
Soon, the people heading north gathered hundreds of people, mainly small nobles, and returned along the way.
"Return north, spare you from dying. Our enemies are strangers and ghouls. Will's shouts spread through the forest. The griffon's speed was extremely fast, and the knight with the fastest reaction and the knight who ran the farthest were easily caught up by him.
"Our enemies are strangers and ghouls, return north, return north. Will's shouts echoed through the forest.
More than 200 people turned north.
"Heading back north, our enemies are strangers and ghouls. Death to those who don't return!"
With a shout, two stone projectiles whizzed out, killing several knights who were crossing the border between the Western Border and the Riverlands.
"Go back or die!" Will shouted.
Behind the knights were dozens or hundreds of soldiers, at the edge of the forest, and beyond that was the plain, the boundary between the western realm and the riverlands, and when they came out of the forest, they would be unsheltered and would be the prey of griffons to hunt at will.
A soldier dropped his bow and arrows, stretched out his hands to the sky to signal his submission, then turned north and went back!
