Chapter 163 I only see human heads and girls who can be caught and trained, Lord Demon
There are 327 griffon knights, more than 7,000 militias, and a small mage group led by the Five Ring Earth Mage. The enemy is 20,000... No, it should be a regular army of 30,000 orcs.
The Griffin King squinted his eyes and roughly evaluated the actual combat effectiveness of both the enemy and us. If the number of simple troops is one to four, the defense's troops are at an absolute disadvantage. However, due to the existence of extraordinary powers such as magic and fighting spirit, a simple number comparison cannot represent anything - even a hundred ordinary people cannot defeat a high-level knight armed to the teeth!
Therefore, in the war, the most important thing is not the number of soldiers, but the quality of the army. If the quality gap is too large, it is difficult to make a difference even if the quantity is at an absolute advantage. For example, the 327 griffin knights under the Griffin Grand Duke can easily destroy the miscellaneous army composed of 7,000 militias under his command!
If the opponent's 30,000 troops are all miscellaneous troops, then the Griffin Grand Duke dares to lead the 300 griffin knights in his hand to kill the opponent, even if the number of the opponent is a hundred times that of his own!
If the orcs' 30,000 troops were all ground troops, then the Griffin Grand Duke would dare to lead the 300 griffin knights in his hands to guerrilla warfare on the air superiority, even if the opponent was an elite unit.
if……
But there are not so many ifs in the world. The orc troops I encountered this time are not miscellaneous troops, nor are they pure ground troops, and there are air forces and shamans.
The flying troops of the Winged Man, the wolf cavalry of the Fanged Orcs, the swordsman of the Golden Lion, the shaman of the Taurus, the cat scout, the fox spell caster...
"It's all the core arms of all races. And there are all kinds." The Griffin Grand Duke felt a little uneasy. At first glance, the Griffin Duke saw almost all orc races! And there is only one force that can command so many orc race coalition forces - the Temple of Earth!
Has the temple really been joined? It will be a tough battle after watching it...
Fortunately, the Griffin Castle's dangerous terrain greatly restricts the opponent's ground troops, and the Mage Tower can also ensure that its terrain advantages will not be destroyed by the opponent's magic.
The air is the key to the outcome of this war!
The Grand Duke of Griffon stared at the Wingman troops who were hovering in the air but did not launch an attack: "The Wingman troops are about 3,000... As long as the opponent's Wingman troops can be eliminated, the outcome of this war has been decided!"
The Griffon Castle was fully alert, while the Orcs actually began to camp two kilometers away from the castle, making fires and cooking. Even the Winged Man, who had originally flew in the sky, occupied a mountain not too far from the castle, and began to camp on the mountain to prepare for dinner.
Seeing the orcs' behavior, the Griffin frowned slightly. The distance between the camping camp... was too close.
The orc camp is two kilometers away from the city wall. Although the attack of ordinary archers cannot reach such a long distance, the attack of the magic tower can reach this distance!
"Master Tower. Investigate the enemy's forests and determine the opponent's troops' arrangement!"
Soon, a wave of magic power was emitted from the mage tower, sweeping across the entire forest. Then the enemy's troops were quickly deployed in the form of a plan to appear in front of the Griffin Grand Duke. In addition to the darkness of the anti-magic barriers, the orc army was completely exposed to the Griffin Grand Duke.
"The Mage Tower uses ultra-range battle magic to carry out ultra-range magic strikes here."
Under the instructions of the Griffin Duke, the Mage Tower began to operate. Strong magic waves gathered on the Mage Tower, indicating that the Mage Tower was preparing for large-scale battle magic (ordinary fast magic cannot reach such a long distance).
The casting time of large magic (battle magic) is long, and the magic fluctuations generated are very obvious, so the orc shamans immediately noticed the movements of the mage tower and immediately began to prepare for targeted magic countermeasures.
A few minutes later, the earth in a camp began to shake, and eight earth element giants more than ten meters high slowly climbed up from the ground. But the orcs' movements were faster than magic!
When the elemental giant had just gotten up halfway, a tauren shaman was already waiting there. The bull shaman inserted a [dispel totem] into the elemental giant! The totem emitted a circle of white dispel magic halos.
The seemingly powerful elemental giant was dispelled when facing the shaman's [Dispel Totem] powerless.
After inserting a dispersing totem in the correct position, the oxhead shaman glanced at the mage tower with contempt. The look seemed to be saying: Don’t think there are no spellcasters here!
The first harassment attack at Griffin Castle failed.
"Duke, do you still want to waste your magic power?" The Mage Tower asked the Griffin Duke for advice.
Seeing this result, the Griffin Duke frowned slightly: "It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, so don't waste his mental power."
Seeing that the magic was not successful, Sir Valas Pavel, the second son of the Griffin Knights, the commander of the Griffin Knights, couldn't help but jump out: "Father, do you want me to lead the Griffin Knights to attack them?" For griffin who can walk through the wind, two kilometers is only a few dozen seconds. In terms of speed, it is faster than the slow battle magic of the magicians. (If it is those powerful battle magic that can directly destroy a city, it may even require hours of singing)
The Griffin was standing on the city wall, looking at the plan of the enemy position sent by the Mage Tower. The orcs were busy camping, and there were no ambushes on the map. If an attack was launched at this time, it would indeed have a certain surprise attack effect. But...
"The risk is too great." The Grand Duke of Griffon looked in the direction of the Wingman stationing, "The number of the opponent's Wingman troops is ten times that of yours. Once the Wingman troops are surrounded, it will be very dangerous!" The individual combat power of the Griffon Knight is stronger than that of the Wingman troops, but the number of Wingman is too large after all.
"The orcs have been traveling for so long and are tired from the journey. This is the time when they are weakest. If they don't fight now, can they fight after they have enough food and drink and have enough rest? What's more, can those winged men catch up with us?" The griffin knight pointed to a camp on the map and said proudly. "If we attacked this camp and waited for the Winged men to arrive at the battlefield, we would have left long ago. In the sky, we griffin knights have not been afraid of anyone!"
The confidence of the griffin knight is not unreasonable. The orc army has extremely strong combat power, but generally has short legs. Compared with the griffin walking in the wind, the Winged Man's flight speed is indeed much slower. If the griffin knight goes out to attack the camp, he will indeed have the chance to leave early before the Winged Man's troops arrive. As for the orc's bows and arrows and magic...
It is not something that ordinary archers can do when trying to pass through magic protection and shoot through griffin's hard feathers like iron, and it is notoriously bad at the level of orcs... not to mention magicians, let alone magicians. I have only heard of orcs having shamans, but never heard of orcs having magicians. Although shamans are good at dispersing and assisting magic, they are not good at magical attacks. It can be said that the high-speed flying troops are the nemesis of the orc army!
The Griffin looked at the orcs in the distance and thought for a while, and felt that it was indeed an opportunity. Moreover, his side also needed a victory to increase morale, so he did not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates: "Yes. But if the situation is not good, remember to retreat immediately."
"Yes, my father!"
Under the order of the Griffin Duke, the griffin knights who had been waiting for a long time immediately turned over and rode on the griffin. At the same time, the mage tower, which had been using magic to maintain the barrier to protect the castle, also canceled the anti-magic barrier, and the earth-type defensive magic was attached to the griffin and the griffin knights.
Petrochemical skin, body-protecting Age shield, resist nature, and recover naturally... Almost all earth-type protective magic is superimposed on all knights (because the five-ring magician who presides over the mage tower is earth-type, so earth-type magic is relatively complete).
With the blessing of so many magics, even Oz... even a naked snail can obtain the defense ability of heavy armored infantry, not to mention the knights and griffins who were originally not low in defense.
This is simply a group of flying steel monsters!
Three hundred griffins flapped their wings and soared into the sky. Walking through the wind, it was like running in the wind. It rushed to the orc left-wing camp at an extremely fast speed, and the garrison of a group of fanged orc wolf cavalry - it was the camp farthest from the garrison of the Winged Man.
Seeing the sudden attack of the griffin knights, the orc camp was in chaos. While the orcs were still organizing the team, the griffin knights had already rushed into the temporary camp at an extremely fast speed.
The griffins made loud roars, which made the wolf cavalry's mount panic. At the same time, the knights picked up bows and arrows, shot the targets below, and sniped a shaman in the opponent's team. Then the knights put down the bows and arrows, picked up the six-meter-long dragon spear, and down from a high place to conduct a piercing attack on the enemy who was already in chaos below!
The six-meter-long dragon spear easily penetrated the chest of the fanged orc, and the griffin's sharp claws easily tore the orc into pieces!
Although there are many archers among the orcs, a few soft arrows are not enough to pose any threat to the griffin knights who have blessed various defensive magic. Therefore, the griffin knights are as if they are entering the realm of no one! In just one round of shooting and one charge, nearly a thousand orcs died at the hands of the griffin knights.
Seeing the attack effect of the griffin knights, the griffin master on the city wall showed a satisfied smile. But at this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed.
"What is that?"
A green passage suddenly appeared in the forest, leading directly to the left wing where the fanged orcs and wolf cavalry were stationed, and the winged passage was moving at an extremely fast speed along the green passage.
"Damn it! Why did these winged men suddenly become so fast??" The Griffin Duke was shocked!
Just when the Griffin was shocked, the Mage Tower also discovered the situation on this side.
Soon, the Mage Tower projected the detailed images from the forest in front of the Grand Duke of Griffin.
In the forest, totems with a diameter of twenty centimeters and a height of about two meters were inserted on the ground. The totems emitted a circle of green apertures, which continued to bless the surrounding beast soldiers in a state of movement - acceleration.
Although the aperture range is not large, and this movement acceleration will immediately fail after it leaves the totem range, there are many totems in the forest, so many that it connects into a line, connecting it directly from the Winged Man camp to the attacked camp!
The totem connected into a line emits circles of green light at the same time, forming a continuous "green channel". All beast soldiers can achieve continuous acceleration effects on this "green channel". The wingers are passing through this acceleration channel and quickly rushed to the left-wing camp attacked by griffins.
The Griffin Duke saw the acceleration passage in the forest that was shining brightly by the shaman's totem. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Why did the other party use this large-scale battle magic, but no one noticed it?"
The big magic on our side was purified by the opponent as soon as it was activated. When the enemy launched the big magic, the master tower could not even be discovered? Is our mage tower a decoration?
"This is not a large-scale battle magic, but ordinary fast magic." The magician located in the mage tower quickly defended himself, "The orcs used more than a dozen shamans to use acceleration totem at the same time, thus achieving such an effect."
Hearing the mage's explanation, the expression on the Griffin's face seemed as ugly as if he had eaten a feces: "When did the orcs invent this new tactic?"
However, at this time, the Griffin Grand Duke no longer had to study when the orcs invented the new tactic. For the Griffin Grand Duke, the most important thing is to recall his ace troops. Once the Griffin Knight is surrounded by the Winged Man troops, it will be troublesome!
When the Griffon Knights completed a round of piercing attacks and a round of slashing and preparing to take off and reorganize the team, they saw a retreat signal fired from the direction of the Griffon Castle. But it was too late.
A group of winged men suddenly appeared behind the griffin knights!
The griffin knights who found that the situation was not good immediately began to break through! The griffin was far faster than the Winged Man in both speed and strength, so the griffin with many defensive magic was like an iron armored monster, ignoring the Winged Man intercepting ahead and directly crushed it!
Many intercepted winged men were directly knocked away, torn apart by sharp claws, and penetrated by long spears, but more winged men rely on their flexible skills to avoid the charge of these monsters, and then used ropes to put them on the griffins and griffin knights! The griffin's speed and flying ability were greatly limited.
The griffin knights were shocked and quickly abandoned their guns and replaced their swords, and planned to cut off the ropes tied to the griffin. But the wingers not only had ropes, but also weapons!
Swords, spears, hook claws, and various weapons attack the griffin, piercing the protection of magic, piercing the hard feathers as hard as iron, and chopping into the flesh! And at some point below, a group of orc shamans were using purification spells to disperse the various magical blessing effects on the griffin. The griffin, who had lost its magic protection, became even more fragile when facing the weapons of the Winged Man.
The griffins cried out.
The flight speed of the griffin with the injured wings began to slow down, and was even forced to land. For the griffin with the injured wings and lost its ability to fly, the wingers did not continue to pursue, but scattered around and looked for the next target.
A griffin stepped on the wind and slowly landed from the sky to the ground like running in the air. Even if its wings were injured, the griffin with intact limbs still had the ability to [Walk on the Wind]. Although it could not fly, it could make the griffin's flight speed faster, and it could safely decline even if its wings were injured.
But even if it descends to the ground, it does not mean safety. Because it is still in the orc camp!
At this time, the orc camp had stopped panic and order was restored again. Orc warrior teams were besieging the griffin knights falling from the sky under the leadership of the squad leader.
On the other hand, the orc shamans have dispelled all the protective magic on the griffin knights and used [Fragile Light] to weaken the knights and griffins. Although there is no powerful attack magic that destroys the world, the threat of the orc shamans cannot be underestimated.
When a griffin knight had just landed, a [Fragile Light] immediately hit the griffin knight. Then a Beamon Orc warrior was already carrying a giant sword and walked to the front of the griffin knight with steady steps.
The Bemon Orc is more than three meters tall and is wearing heavy black armor. The giant sword in his hands is at least four meters long and wider than an adult, but it seems to be without weight in his hands. The Bemon soldier walked up to the griffin knight, raised the giant sword in his hand with a cruel smile.
Cut off!
The knight, together with his weapons and the griffin under his crotch, was cut in half by the Bemon warrior! All the defenses were as fragile as paper--you humans were not the only ones who had elite soldiers!
In this battle, only twenty-one of the 327 griffin knights attacked successfully broke through the siege and fled back to the castle.
In the orc camp, a lion man covered in golden retrievers stood on a high ground and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
Behind the lion, there was a girl with a fiery red fox tail on her butt.
The orcs have very similar appearance to animals, and they look like a standing and walking animal. However, although this girl has the characteristics of a fox, she has the appearance of a human. Obviously, she is a half-orc girl with both human and fox blood. I don’t know why such a "lowly" half-orc appeared in the orc army that values bloodline and power, and she is also a girl.
The fox girl held a feather fan and smiled and said, "Everything is the same as expected in the plan. The little eagles went out of the city to steal food, but ended up being ambushed by the crow. Now there is no need to use other alternative solutions~"
"Hmph!" The lion man standing in front snorted coldly and said nothing.
"After this fortress is taken, the next one is the Hewan Fortress, and then it will be the capital of the kingdom..." The fox girl looked at the lion man with her back to her, "Sir, you will get what you want right away. I hope that sir, don't forget your promise to our tribe at that time~"
The lion man turned his head and looked at the fox girl with a cold face: "No need to remind me! My lion clan has always promised a thousand gold!"
"Sorry, sir. I'm wronged." The fox girl smiled with a smile on her face.
"Hmph!" The lion man glanced at the fox girl in disgust, snorted coldly, turned around and walked back to the tent.
After watching the lion man leave, the smile on the fox girl's face faded away, and instead was full of anxiety.
Will things really go so smoothly?
