Chapter 160: Chapter 159: The First Battle: the defeat of the Air Force
Translator: 549690339
“They’re here!”
On the Morondor Plains, the chiefs of several tribes were lined up in a row, looking at the message sent by their own flying units in the sky. On the third day after receiving the news of the departure of the human army.., the Steel War Empire’s army had finally arrived at the location of the final battle.
In the air, Bat Knights circled high in the sky, on which sat agile trolls. These trolls were holding incendiary bombs made by their own wizards, intending to show off their might to the newly arrived human army.., they wanted to reduce the enemy’s morale.
These giant bats were the air force borrowed from the north by the Gale tribe. The environment of the Southern Plains was not enough to nurture giant bats that could ride on Orcs.
And beside these giant bats were a dense ma.s.s of wind snakes!
Wind snakes were unique creatures of the south. They were snakes with fleshy wings. They were xenomorphs, the only air force unit in the south. Although they were small in size, they had a huge advantage in numbers, moreover, these wind serpents had extremely strong neurotoxins on their teeth. Even if they were powerful creatures, they would still end up being eaten by a group of wind serpents.
However, because their bodies were not large enough to carry an ORC unit, they did not have much effect on the ground. This was also the reason why Hoult of the Gale tribe had paid a huge price to bring in the giant bats from the north.
This air force combination made kagar of the Thunder tribe feel a little apprehensive. It was only after he arrived that he found out that the gale tribe actually had such an air force. He secretly wondered if he should also lie down in the north, if he bought some of these species over, he would be at a disadvantage against the Gale tribe in the future.
Just as he was thinking, a series of terrifying hisses suddenly came from the sky. If the Hiss of the hordes of wind snakes could be said to be creepy, then the sudden loud and clear cry of birds of prey was truly shocking.
Just by listening to this sound, they knew that the creatures that came were definitely from the upper echelon of the carnivorous creature chain.
Then, they raised their heads and saw a spa.r.s.e black spot in the sky. The few tribal chiefs with good eyesight instantly saw that it was the most elite Air Force Knights of the human race, the Griffin Army!
Facing the dense cloud-like swarm of wind snakes, the scattered Griffin Knights were not afraid at all. They directly rushed into the swarm of wind snakes with a hurricane.
Such unparalleled bravery shocked the orcs below.
“Humph, Stupid!”Kagar sneered. Even the two-headed dragon from the north would be gnawed into bones by the wind snakes. After all, the poison of the wind snakes was not simple.., even the powerful Tauren would lose muscle after a few minutes after being bitten by the wind snakes. They might even die of shock immediately. The gryphon looked mighty, but could it withstand the attacks of hundreds of wind snakes?
As long as there were more than ten snakes biting you, no matter how powerful you were, you would still end up being melted into water by the poison.
But in the next second, Kagar’s sneer froze.
The huge and powerful griffons were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. The moment they charged into the flock of snakes, they set off a rain of blood. Under their dive, the wind snakes were directly cut into two halves, they fell down like snowflakes!
Instantly… ! … The sky was filled with a dazzling scarlet mist. The strong smell of blood instantly filled the entire s.p.a.ce!
“What… What’s going on?”The surrounding Orc royalty were stunned? After these griffins charged into the group of snakes, they were able to cut through a large group of snakes with just a charge. This was definitely not done by the warriors sitting on top of them. Wasn’t the efficiency of killing them a little too exaggerated?
“It’s that feather…”hotell narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately figured out the situation.
When he was in the north, he didn’t have the chance to meet these griffins knights who were feared by countless tribes in the north. Today, he finally understood why the air force units of so many tribes in the north were so afraid of this thing.
These griffins’feathers were as hard as blades and could even be controlled to stand up. Coupled with their terrifying flying speed, not to mention these limp wind snakes, even the muscular twin-headed dragon would be torn apart.
Moreover, due to the toughness of the feathers and the fact that the rider was armed to the teeth, even if these wind snakes were to surround and attack, they would not be able to bite that thing, the rider on top did not even need to fight. He only needed to control the direction of the Griffins’flight.
Hotell looked at the blood rain in the sky and thought of another nickname of these Griffins in the north: Dragon Slayer Knight!
With a gloomy face, he muttered, “It really… lives up to its reputation!”
Even Old Marn’s face was not so good. He muttered, “How did humans tame such a terrifying creature?”
“Call the air force to retreat!”Hotell said decisively.
“What?”Kagar immediately said angrily, “Air Force retreat? Are you afraid of the loss of your bats? Once the air force retreated, we would completely lose the sight of the humans. Wouldn’t the raid plan that you previously proposed be ruined?”
Previously, Hotell had suggested that when the human army entered the plains from the Empire Avenue, there was still a chance for a raid. It was to launch a raid after half of the human army had come down from the Empire Avenue!
This way, the latter half of the human army would be stuck in the middle of the avenue, while the army at the front would not be able to complete their retreat due to the large number of people behind them. They could only let them slaughter them!
However, this plan had to be carried out with a clear view of the plains. They would not be able to set up an ambush, so they could only borrow the mobility of the cavalry and find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack, this required the cavalry of the beast clan to accurately grasp the opportunity to charge into the formation. Otherwise, it would be a joke if they rushed over and the other party did not come down!
Without a clear view, who knew what the humans were walking in front of? What if a bunch of terrifying dragon crossbows were aimed at you, and you could not charge into the main road? Wouldn’t you be shot for nothing?
Moreover, not only that, if they withdrew the Air Force and lost their view, the other party would completely grasp their own view. The other party would clearly know how the Beast clan would deploy their troops to form a formation, on the other hand, his side could only fight pa.s.sively.
It could be said to be extremely disadvantageous. The effect of air control was extremely important even in this kind of cold weapon battle!
However, faced with Kagar’s furious questioning, Hoult said faintly, “What else can we do? The Air Force’s strength is inferior to the humans, so can’t we just admit it? Do We have to wait for the wind snakes above to be completely wiped out before you’re satisfied?”
“You…”Kagar was instantly annoyed, however, he could not say anything to refute. Obviously, if they retreated those wind snakes now, they could still have a certain fighting strength when they flew low in the air during the war. If they were still stubborn enough to let them fight those griffins in the air.., the people on his side could only watch as they were slaughtered!
Thinking of this, Kagar finally turned his head away. Old Marn also sighed slightly, “Then tell them to retreat!”
Hotell nodded to mundo beside him. Mundo picked up a huge horn, and a loud and clear sound of the horn instantly resounded in the sky. Countless wind snakes heard this sound and turned their heads to retreat towards the direction of the Beast clan.
The black ma.s.s of retreat only left hundreds of griffins hovering proudly in the air. The entire aura of the Beast clan was instantly dealt a great blow.
Of course, these Griffins didn’t forget themselves and dive down to give chase. They knew that once they flew to where the ORC’s firepower could cover their position, it would truly be a vicious beating. The Griffins were incomparably precious now.., the commander didn’t dare to rashly wave. After circling for a while and seeing the orc clan’s formation clearly, under the command of the commander, most of the Griffins returned to the rear to recuperate, leaving only a few to continue observing the Orc clan’s movements.
At this point, in the first shot of the battle between the orcs, the humans had obtained an overwhelming victory and had completely taken control of the air!
The orcs who had lost in the beginning felt a trace of unease in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Rox and the others who had received the news in the distance heaved a rare sigh of relief. Previously, the failure of the scouts had caused them to fall into a great pa.s.sive position, now, they did not even know how many Orcs were lying in ambush on the mountains on both sides of the Empire Avenue.
However, the clear view in front of them let them know that the southern tribes didn’t have any means to deal with the Griffin Knights.
They didn’t have to fight in the dark.
“This formation…”beside Rox, Arthur frowned as he looked at the sketch drawn by Rox after the Griffin troops provided information. “It’s very generous!”
“Yeah…”Rox sighed slightly. Although he had grasped the opponent’s formation, the opponent seemed to be prepared for it. The formation was upright and upright, making it difficult to deal with.
“Everyone says that the current chief of the Gale Tribe is the most outstanding existence in the past generations. It’s not an exaggeration at all…”Rox sneered. “Pa.s.s down the message, the army will move out!”
