Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 753: Chapter 498: Battle Before Dawn (Part 2)_1

Howl, howl!

Without warning, a series of distant low and muffled howls echoed in the air.

In the direction of the approaching Saint Night Army, the hazy sky was suddenly filled with swarms of black dots exuding an otherworldly glow, as if a group of unexpected fireflies were speeding towards Leo Ray and the others.

Under the silvery illumination of the two crescent moons, the outlines of these black dots gradually became clearer with time.

Looking up, they saw that amidst the deep blue night sky were flying Demon Beasts with the bodies of lions and sharp claws, but the heads of eagles.

Upon closer inspection, these Demon Beasts were incredibly robust, their massive wings shaking like small airplanes. Their sheer numbers were quite astonishing.

As Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, he continued to observe them closely.

From a numerical standpoint, there were easily over a hundred of these suddenly appearing Demon Beasts, their ranks so dense that it was almost impossible to keep track of them all.

Most crucially, on the back of each Demon Beast, one could vaguely see a knight clad in black armor, wielding a dazzling long spear.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The sharp, gleaming tips of their weapons looked both mighty and majestic, giving off an oppressive aura.

Furthermore, as the distance between them closed, Leo Ray noticed that these Demon Beasts were also wearing incredibly thick armor, making them like mobile fortresses.

That being said, Leo Ray was of course no stranger to these flying Demon Beasts.

He had seen them many times, whether on the figurehead of the Ancient Ship or the emblem on the Saint Night Army’s flags.

“Well, well, is this a fully armed Griffin Knight Squadron?”

Upon realizing this, Leo Ray showed a slightly surprised expression.

“Black Armored Gryphon Knights… this is the representative elite force of the Saint Night Kingdom, an elite Tier 2 Sky Knight Middle Team!”

On the other hand, Ariel Watson’s delicate face was suddenly filled with a startled expression. She exclaimed, “These Gryphon Knights are all powerful Tier 2 Five-star veterans, and their Gryphons are just as powerful, making them incredibly difficult to handle!”

“What’s more, both the Griffon Knights and the Gryphons themselves are clad in Tier 3 Fine Heavy Armor, making their defenses extremely impressive. Normal arrows cannot penetrate their defenses, and their Lance is also at the Tier 3 Fine Heavy Armor level, making them a formidable force that excels in both offense and defense.”

Furrowing her eyebrows, Ariel Watson continued, “To my knowledge, a century ago during one of the conflicts between our Coldflame and Saint Night, a single Griffin Knight Squadron, relying on dive attacks and Alchemy Bombs, completely wiped out an elite Tier 2 Large Team of the Coldflame Royal Family without suffering any losses!”

“Oh? Wiping out an enemy ten times their size without sustaining any injuries? These Gryphon Knights are indeed quite formidable.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow.

As for the Alchemy Bombs that Ariel Watson mentioned, Leo Ray had heard about them from Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe before.

Like Alchemy Puppets, these bombs were one of the advanced techniques of Alchemists and could only be crafted by mastering the appropriate formula.

The damage they could cause was almost equivalent to a Magic Scroll of the same tier, and they were even cheaper.

However, their drawback was also very apparent – besides their relatively unstable nature, the large size of the bombs made it quite inconvenient for those who didn’t have storage items to carry them.

“So, these Gryphon Squadrons equipped with Alchemy Bombs are essentially bomber formations, right?”

Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips in disdain.

It was worth noting that the two small fortresses on the mountainside lacked the protection of large defense barriers.

Especially when pinned down by the ground forces of the Sacred Night Siege Corps, if this airborne force were to take advantage of the situation and launch a bombardment, it could indeed cause heavy losses to the Coldflame Army within the Fortress.

Nodding thoughtfully, Leo Ray mused, “It seems that this must undoubtedly be one of the trump cards that the enemy commander, Red Devil, has up his sleeve.”

Ariel Watson’s eyes sparkled as she continued, “You’re right. Due to their low reproduction rate and proud nature, the modern Saint Night Kingdom has no more than one Large Team of these Tier 2 Sky Knights, and they are mostly under the direct command of the Holy Night Royal Family or the Moon Palace. They rarely leave the Royal Capital.”

On the other side, Ariel Watson’s eyes narrowed as she continued, “I never thought that a Gryphon Squadron would appear on this border battlefield.”

“Since the enemy commander Red Devil serves as a Moon Palace Saint General, moving this unit would be natural,” Leo Ray said with a smile, gesturing for Ariel Watson not to worry. “Nevertheless, it’s fortunate that we managed to draw out this Gryphon Knight Squadron beforehand. If this unit had appeared alongside the vanished army, things would have been quite troublesome.”

“Do you have a way to deal with this Gryphon Knight Squadron?”

Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson’s eyes lit up as she hastily inquired, “You should know that the elite Gryphon Middle Team is known as the Sky Dominator of Saint Night!”
