Chapter 756: Chapter 499: The Battle in the Sky Above the Fortress_2
With a faint smile, Leo Ray fell silent.
At the same time, in the increasingly whitish night sky, the Wing Dragon Knight Captain Sean, with his masked face filled with unrestrainable fighting spirit, was at the forefront of the loose wedge formation.
Finally, it was time for them to show their prowess!
Sean then nodded to the other Wyvern Knights.
At this moment, the distance between them and the Griffin Knights rushing towards them was only a step away!
Not far away, the Wyvern Knights understood and gently patted the Pterosaurs they were riding while moving at high speed.
The next second, just as the Pterosaur Knights were about to engage in close combat with the aggressive Griffin Knight squadron.
Their Azure Pterosaurs below them seemed to have gained a sudden boost, flying even faster than their usual limits.
They almost pulled up vertically, effortlessly avoiding the collective charge of the Griffin Knights below.
It wasn’t over; in the blink of an eye, they spun nearly 180 degrees in mid-air.
Extremely agile, the Pterosaur Knights had already changed direction and began to approach the tightly clustered Griffin Knights.
In the blink of an eye, they easily reached right above the Griffin Knight Squadron and began flying parallel over their heads.
Seeing this, including Ariel Watson below, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield couldn’t help but reveal a puzzled look.
Even though the Pterosaur Knights had avoided the somewhat clumsy Griffin Knights’ charge with their excellent high mobility, what use could that have?
However, while the vast majority of the soldiers were still in shock.
Something unforgettable happened.
In the twilight sky where the Big Sun had just begun to rise, huge fireballs suddenly burst one after another in the densely packed Griffin Knight formation.
Following that, wave after wave of earth-shattering explosions started to rumble in everyone’s eardrums.
As the explosions continued, up in the foggy sky.
A significant number of Griffin Knights, either with their Griffins or alone, struggled and fell from the sky, most of them still emitting thick black smoke from their bodies.
Above the smoke, the elusive Pterosaur Knight Squad remained unscathed, continuing to maintain a moderate distance from the broken Griffin Knight formation below.
Of course, during this process, the dense explosions were still continuously roaring.
Seeing this, the entire battlefield below was in an uproar, with eyes full of amazement and confusion looking at the sky.
Even the attack and defense battle on the side of a small forest fortress had momentarily gone silent.
This unbelievable scene was obviously beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Could it be that your Pterosaur Knight Squad is a team of Sky Magic Knights?!”
At this moment, amidst the shock, Ariel Watson’s eyes sparkled, and she looked at Leo Ray in amazement, asking herself, “No, the Pterosaur Knights obviously wear armor and carry long spears… So it must be the horrifying destructive power of a large number of magic scrolls?!”
“That’s exactly right.”
Smiling faintly, Leo Ray responded casually.
These powerful explosions were indeed caused by one of the secret weapons Leo Ray had given to Sean and the others: ten Tier 3 Fire Attack Magic Scroll High-Level Explosion Bombs per person.
At present, besides the 100 given to Sean and the others, Leo Ray still had 40 identical High-Level Explosion Bomb scrolls on him.
“So what’s the deal with the sudden increase in mobility of the Azure Pterosaurs before engaging the enemy in close quarters?!”
With fluttering eyelashes, Ariel Watson once again asked in shock.
For a century, in order to deal with the Griffin Knight troops of the Saint Night, Coldflame’s generations of rulers and ministers had racked their brains and come up with various strange ideas.
Among them, of course, was the use of attack magic scrolls in the air.
However, the results were barely effective.
Firstly, the Coldflame Royal Family’s main force had always been the Earth Dragon Knights Corps, known as the land’s supreme power, which was not proficient in fostering Sky Knights.
Secondly, the few Sky Knights that were trained, could not compare in speed to the Griffon Knights, and even with the use of magic scrolls, they would find it difficult to hit their targets due to lack of speed.
Eventually, they had to develop a sky minefield to deter the opposing side somewhat.
Regrettably, the Mages in the palace who could use these sky minefields, were all occupied in defending the Royal Capital, and due to the King’s illness, no one had the authority to mobilize the Royal Army Corps or other royal forces.
Therefore, they could not help quench their immediate thirst, and certainly could not provide any help in this regard.
“This is my little secret,” said Leo Ray with a mysterious smile when Ariel Watson asked about it, but he did not answer her question.
As to the true reason for the sudden acceleration of the Azure Pterosaurs, it was quite simple: they had taken Tier 2 Haste Pills.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Alchemy created by Human Clan’s alchemists mostly had little effect on Demon Beasts, but transformation-type items were an exception.
Leo Ray was inspired by Red Night who had taken the form of a human and asked Sean to test the Haste Pill on the Azure Pterosaurs, unexpectedly discovering that the effect was similarly significant, increasing their flying speed.
As such, with the Azure Pterosaurs’ originally higher speed and maneuverability than the Griffins, and further enhancement with the Haste Pill.
Hitting Griffon Knights with magical scrolls naturally became an effortless task.
This was also the second secret weapon that Leo Ray had given to Sean and the other Pterosaur Knights.
“Hmph, it’s not a big deal if you don’t tell me,” Ariel Watson wrinkled her delicate nose at Leo Ray and turned her attention back to the battlefield in the sky.
Above the sky, after Sean and the Pterosaur Knights’ bombardment, the remaining Griffon Knights’ response was swift.
They had already scattered their dense charging formation to regroup and attempt to counterattack the Pterosaur Knights.
After all, the attack distance of the Advanced Flame Burst Bomb was very limited, and as long as they kept their distance, there would be no opportunity for error.
However, what the Griffon Knights encountered was another nightmare.
Under Leo Ray’s command, Sean and his Pterosaur Knights did not give their opponents any chance to catch their breath.
Instead, they relied on their high maneuverability and speed to single out targets, engage in one-on-one fights, and employed new attack magic scrolls.
As the Pterosaur Knights manipulated the raging waves’ sword made of surging water currents and fast-moving black energy balls, more inattentive Griffon Knights screamed and fell, causing their unformed formation to shatter again.
These two new spells were the Tier 3 Water Attack Magic Scroll Furious Wave Sword and Tier 3 Dark Attack Magic Scroll Darklight Explosion.
These were also the two other secret weapons Leo Ray had given to Sean and his comrades.
Compared to the close-range Advanced Flame Burst Bomb, the mid-range Dark Light Burst and the long-range Furious Wave Sword complemented each other perfectly.
Thus, it maximized the all-round damage inflicted on the enemy.
Leo Ray gave each of Sean and his Pterosaur Knights a total of 50 magic scrolls of these two types.
Currently, Leo Ray still had 55 Dark Light Burst Scrolls and 20 Furious Wave Sword Scrolls left on him.
“That means, each of the ten Pterosaur Knights under Sean has 10 close-range Tier 3 Attack Scrolls, 5 mid-range Tier 3 Attack Scrolls and 5 long-range Tier 3 Attack Scrolls,” Leo Ray pondered with raised eyebrows, “In this case, even if only half of my Pterosaur Knights’ attacks hit the target, they would still be enough to annihilate this Griffon Knight Squadron.”
“After all, their strength is basically at the Tier Second level, and the heavy armor they wear provides them with negligible resistance to magic.”
As Leo Ray leisurely thought about this, the one-sided battle in the sky and the expressions of the soldiers on the ground for both sides grew more interesting.
