To the east of Lionheart City, there are a large number of cities that have not been affected by the war.
Outside a city closest to Lionheart City, a large number of royal griffons were constantly taking off and landing.
One of the ace troops of the Eastern Empire, the Royal Griffin Knights, is currently deployed at this location.
The Royal Griffin Knights have a total of 90,000 Royal Griffins and 10,000 Royal Griffin Knights.
On average, each Royal Griffin Knight has 9 Royal Griffins responsible for covering and killing.
It is not difficult to tame a royal griffon, but it is extremely difficult to train a royal griffon knight.
The gryphon itself is very heavy, and if it carries a knight on its back, it will lose almost all of its own combat capabilities.
Moreover, knights cannot wear heavy armor, and their combat capabilities are inferior to those of knights on the ground, and they are not the same concept as dragon knights.
The Dragon Knight has extremely strong combat effectiveness whether in the air or on the ground, while the Griffin Knight has strong ground output due to its flying ability, and is not even as good as the 6th-level Royal Griffin in the air.
However, dragon knights are not easy to train, but griffins are different.
It is easy to find a group of strong royal griffins by carefully selecting and nurturing them from the beginning.
But even so, the standard configuration of a 10,000-person gryphon army usually equipped with only 300 gryphon knights.
In this Royal Griffin Knights, the ratio of Royal Griffin Knights to Griffins actually reached an exaggerated 10:1.
Obviously, this is an ace force.
Even from the number of this unit, we can know that this was not originally an army belonging to Grand Duke Yuwen.
As the air force, the Royal Griffin Knights should have been the first to arrive at Lion Heart City, just like Xu Lai.
But unfortunately, Grand Duke Yuwen, who was already fighting the undead in the cemetery, did not want to provoke the devil.
So at the beginning, the Eastern Empire was not very positive towards Lionheart City.
However, things were different after Xu Lai drove away the demon. The ministers of the Eastern Empire felt that this was God's help to the Eastern Empire.
The empire was divided. The Eastern Empire had neither a name nor a parliament. It relied entirely on its strength to forcibly call itself the Eastern Empire.
Xu Lai had not been valued by the people of the Eastern Empire before Xu Lai. The Eastern Empire's envoys even made rude remarks and were directly driven away by Xu Lai.
This behavior made the Eastern Empire even more hostile, and they wanted to find an excuse immediately to send troops to attack Xu Lai.
However, the pressure exerted by the undead is too great, and this is still under the situation where the undead in the cemetery are fighting on two fronts.
No matter how powerful the Griffin Legion is, they cannot cross most of the empire and go to the grasslands to find trouble for Xu Lai.
What's more, although the Eastern Empire has a powerful griffon army.
But among these griffon legions, the core ace Royal griffin legion is not in the hands of Grand Duke Yuwen Shaoguang.
High King Aled contracted all the griffins and moved them to the Eastern Empire. Naturally, he would also consider the issue of the Eastern Empire's self-respect of its own troops.
So, in the name of forming a royal legion, Aled recruited the best knights, archers, and the strongest griffons in the empire.
The Royal Knights have always been stationed in the imperial capital. The Royal Archers were given to his daughter by the 36th Supreme King.
The Royal Griffin Legion, composed of the best Griffin Knights and the strongest Royal Griffins from the entire Eastern Empire, is led by the High King's most trusted general.
If the High King is still there, the hero named Rhea Edric will only obey the leadership of the High King.
But the High King mysteriously disappears, causing the entire empire to fall apart.
At this time, it would be extremely unwise for Rhea Edric to go against the Yuwen family again.
After all, strictly speaking, most of the Royal Griffin Knights under his command were recruited from the Eastern Empire.
But after all, the two sides were not of the same mind, especially since Rhea had been instructed by the Supreme King to go to the Eastern Empire specifically to suppress the Yuwen family.
If it weren't for the threat of the undead, there might have been a fight between the Yuwen family and Rhea Edric.
But even so, Rhea did not listen to the instructions and was not active in fighting.
However, this time, Lion Heart City was taken over by Xu Lai, and both parties reached a rare agreement.
Lionheart City is the foundation of the Edric family, and Rhea desperately wants to return to Lionheart City.
The Eastern Empire also urgently needed a capital-level city, especially after the Northern Empire was established with the support of the temple.
You know, the Northern Empire somehow managed to get rid of the demonic threat.
Without the threat of demons, the Northern Empire has established a country again, and it is time to exaggerate its power on a large scale.
At that time, the Eastern Empire was not a state, and even if it could defeat the undead, it could not stop the annexation of the Northern Empire.
It is simply impossible to say that Yuwen Shaoguang had no ambition at all. If he had no ambition, there would be no Eastern Empire.
On the contrary, it is the group of joint nobles in the Western Empire who truly have no ambitions.
Especially when he learned that there were currently only a few thousand griffins and a few hundred angels from Xu Lai in the entire Lion Heart City, he felt even more itchy.
Yuwen Shaoguang knows how much fighting power the griffins have. The only ones that are difficult to deal with are those angels.
Angels are the top aerial troops. There is a huge level difference between the 6th level Royal Griffin and the Angels.
Not to mention, Yuwen Shaoguang also received news that the angels under Xu Lai's command were all at least level 8 archangels.
Besides the 8th-level Archangels, the largest number were actually the 9th-level Seraphs, as well as more than a hundred strange angels that they had never seen before.
The ordinary griffin army might not even be able to break through the defense against this angel army.
Therefore, the only person Yuwen Shaoguang can count on is Rhea Edric.
The Edric family is a famous griffin family, especially good at raising and commanding griffins.
Under the leadership of the Edric family, the griffins and griffin knights will have stronger attack power, defense power, as well as attack and movement speed.
Edric's talent, the gryphon, can basically be regarded as raising the gryphon to a higher level.
As long as we capture this angel force, and with support from within Lionheart City, and with the flying advantage of the gryphons, it will be very simple to capture Lionheart City.
And even if no one responds, given the current level of dilapidation in Lionheart City, it is basically impossible to do any effective defense
After taking Lion Heart City, Yuwen Shaoguang can establish the real Eastern Empire.
"Legion Commander, all supplies have been replenished and are ready to go at any time."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Rhea nodded lightly, but did not issue any orders.
About to fly out of the Eastern Empire, the Royal Griffin Legion is making final supplies in this city on the edge.
Rhea's silence made Yuwen Xin, the second son of the Yuwen family, quite dissatisfied.
Yuwen Shaoguang asked Ruiya to bring his direct legion to fight, which must have promised huge benefits.
Under such circumstances, the Yuwen family was naturally not at ease, so they sent Yuwen Xin, who was not the heir, over.
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Legion, the military situation is very good. The army has been fully prepared. What are you waiting for?"
"Young Master Xin, don't worry. When the scouts I sent out come back, we will know what we are waiting for."
Yu Wenxin frowned and looked at Rhea in confusion.
Rhea didn't show off and explained:
"I sent out a total of more than a dozen scouts. If there are no special circumstances near Lionheart City, they should be back within half an hour."
"How long have they been flying out?"
Rhea said: "About 40 minutes."
"In other words, they have probably been discovered by the angels of Lionheart City?" Rhea shook her head and said: "The scouts I sent out specifically asked them not to get too close to Lionheart City.< br>
In addition, the reconnaissance cavalry I sent out went in different directions.
Even if there is an interception along the way, someone should rush back to report it.
The current situation can only explain one thing. ”
"What?" Before Yu Wenxin could ask again, several figures of gryphon knights had appeared on the horizon.
"Reporting to the commander of the army, a large number of troops have been discovered in the south of Lion Heart City, and they are rapidly approaching the direction of Lion Heart City.
These legions, mainly infantry and archers, number about 200,000 people.
Judging from the numbers, they should be the Royal Archer Regiment and the Infantry Regiment of the Southern Empire. ”
As members of the Royal Legion, the Royal Gryphon Knights will never mistake the designation of the Royal Archers Regiment.
However, the Southern Empire is crisscrossed by waterways, and infantry is basically developed. There are so many infantry regiments that it is not surprising that they cannot be recognized.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have ideas for Lion Heart City.
Now there is trouble. The archers of the Royal Archer Group are all at least level 6, and they are also equipped with magic longbows on a large scale.
If there was only the Infantry Corps, we could bully them at will, but with the Royal Archer Corps, we may not be our opponents. ”
Yu Wenxin rubbed the space ring on his hand and said:
"If His Majesty Aled does not disappear, Count Jasmine should have a good chance of inheriting the position of High King."
Rhea shook her head and said: "It's hard to say, her two sons both have foreign surnames.
Otherwise, His Majesty Aled would not have to train his nephews. ”
While he was talking, several Royal Griffin Knights also appeared in the northern sky.
"Report to the Legion Commander that a large number of Northern Empire troops have been discovered in the north.
There were about 30,000 knights, infantry, and no number of archers, and no air units or siege weapons were found. ”
Rhea sighed and said: "Where are their movements?"
The griffin knight said: "We are moving towards Lion Heart City, but the speed is not fast."
"Why are they rushing over if they are not fast? Do you want to follow behind and take advantage?" Rhea frowned.
Yu Wenxin also said: "I was going to advise you just now that it is better to let the army of the Southern Empire touch Xu Lai first, and we will wait and see later."
Rhea didn't dare to let the royal griffon fly over Lionheart City. It would be too far to take a detour, so the scouts he deployed were only in the north and south directions.
Now, all the scouts have returned to the team, but Rhea doesn't know whether to take action or not.
"Now that the capital is out, let's go and take a look first."
Ruiya still wants to get back Lionheart City, whether it is the benefits promised by Yuwen Shaoguang or for her family.
The news he received from the family was that Xu Lai, the advent hero, was not very friendly to traditional nobles like them.
"Should we go to Lion Heart City first?" Yu Wenxin asked.
"Of course not. Going to Lion Heart City at this time isn't an obvious way to let others take advantage. Let's go south first.
If the people named Xu discover the Southern Empire's army, we'll just sit back and watch the show.
If they don't find it, let's help them. ”
"But as soon as we show up, Xu will definitely know that we are also planning on Lion Heart City.
Will he still fight with the Southern Empire?
Moreover, we brought the large army over, what should we do if the people from the Northern Empire took advantage of us? ”
"Haha, we are all flying troops, and we don't go close to the past.
After the guy surnamed Xu found us, what was the worst possible outcome and he left first?
The guy named Xu can't fly either. How dare he let the angels chase us?
Even if he dared, without the angel, how could he defend Lionheart City?
I heard that he did not obtain the heart of the castle of Lionheart City. Once he abandons the city, it will truly become someone else's.
As for the Northern Empire, I guess they don’t want to start a war with the Xu people.
Bringing a group of knights there, it doesn't look like they are going to attack the city. ”
Yu Wenxin nodded and said: "Then go south first."
With the plan in place, Rhea Edric waved his hand, and a large number of royal griffons took off quickly under the leadership of the griffon knights.
One hundred thousand griffons, even if they fall on the ground, they are like a large black cloud. When they fly in the sky, they are like a huge golden cloud.
Lionheart City is still far away now, and maybe others don't notice it yet.
But if we fly for another ten minutes, we will be within a hundred kilometers of Lion Heart City, and no one else will be able to notice it.
But Rhea didn't care, because they were flying troops, and even if they were stronger than the Angel Legion, they wouldn't dare to leave the heroes and hunt them down.
The speed of the Royal Griffin Legion is not very fast, and they are not heading in the direction of Lion Heart City.
Rhea and the others deliberately rushed south at the slowest speed. First, they wanted to use themselves as bait to attract Xu Lai's attention to the Southern Empire army.
Secondly, it is to free up time for both of them, and to conserve their own strength in case they need to join the battle.
As they were flying slowly towards Port Nani, the Royal Griffin Knight in charge of reconnaissance rushed back to report again.
"Xu Lai and the Southern Empire's army are already fighting?
How many angels did Xu send out? What? None? ”
The scout's report made Rhea frown.
Rhea attaches great importance to reconnaissance work, so the reconnaissance riders in the Royal Griffin Regiment are the most elite and have been trained by him personally.
However, this group of elite scouts that he personally trained told him that Xu Lai did not dispatch any angels, but instead dispatched an army of more than 100,000 knights.
If these people hadn't all agreed, Rhea would have really wanted to ask them whether they knew how terrifying an army of more than 100,000 knights was.
"Legion Commander, how dare we report false news.
When we arrived, the knights of the Eagle Kingdom had already laid out their flags. If you go over at this time, you might just be able to see them fighting. ”
Upon hearing this, Rhea did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered to speed up.
However, when he arrived near the battlefield, he was still a step too late.
Not only was the battle over, the Eagle Kingdom had not even expended any effort.
Anyway, on the battlefield littered with corpses, there were almost no corpses of the Eagle Kingdom, and the fallen flags and armor of the Southern Empire were everywhere.
Without a large number of heavily armored spearmen, Rhea tried her best but could not figure out how to rely on a group of infantry and archers to resist the charge of the cavalry.
The people in the Southern Empire couldn't imagine it, so after the knights charged, they were already dead and surrendered.
"Let's go. With so many cavalry and archers on our side, we can't take Lionheart City."
Rhea Edric had just finished speaking when she heard a voice coming from above her head:
"You've already come, why are you leaving in such a hurry!" (End of Chapter)
