Chapter 73 II: Royal Griffin Legion
The night falls and the bright moon hangs high.
Under the hazy moonlight.
Black Rock City, which was originally desolate and remote, is now like a giant beast waking up from its slumber and starting to operate at full strength.
After receiving orders from the Empire.
Less than half a day.
The Lord of Blackstone City, Viscount Harrington, urgently assembled an elite army of 200,000!
Although Blackstone City is a border area with hundreds of thousands of imperial troops stationed all year round, such amazing efficiency and speed far exceed many people's expectations.
Lu Yuan’s eyes were in every corner of Brian’s Kingdom, and he noticed the anomaly immediately.
“Is the Holy Light Empire going to take action?”
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, even though he had long expected that such a day would come sooner or later.
But when he actually faced the Holy Light Empire's army, he still inevitably felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
The Holy Light Empire has long been in decay, and many nobles and high-ranking officials are addicted to sensuality.
But it is undeniable.
This behemoth has stood for two thousand years without falling.
When it roars, the entire magical world will tremble!
"Gather all the natural disaster warriors and prepare to face the enemy!"
"The army of Blackstone City is nothing to be afraid of, the Holy Light Empire is the real enemy!"
"This I can only win the battle, not lose, otherwise I will fall into a place of eternal disaster!"
Lu Yuan has a long-term perspective.
The Holy Light Empire has a profound foundation, and no matter how hard the powerful people try, it will never fail.
But Lu Yuan had no chance to try and make mistakes.
As long as he fails once, all his previous efforts will be wasted and he will lose everything!
Fortunately, after this period of expansion, the Scourge Legion is no longer what it used to be.
Now Lu Yuan has more than 60 million skeleton warriors, 300,000 headless horsemen, thousands of earth dragons and troll legions under his command,
As well as twenty-three Frost Bone Dragons and a Natural Disaster Behemoth!
Even if you face the Knights of Holy Light, you still have the power to fight!
When the first ray of morning light breaks through the darkness.
"Rumble!"
The war horses galloped, the ground trembled, and smoke and dust were thrown up.
A Holy Light Knight wearing silver armor, holding a spear and a shield, first appeared in front of the Wasteland of Bones.
Although there are only about tens of thousands of these knights, each of them is an elite selected from all over the empire.
They are tall and tall, and their aura is solemn and sacred.
The golden sun shines on the surface of the silver armor, making them look shining, like holy knights who stepped out of mythology!
This is the Knights of Holy Light!
The most powerful ground force of the Holy Light Empire!
All Holy Light Knights are well-trained. Not only do they have superb riding skills, they are also very good at light magic.
Especially after experiencing the baptism of Holy Light.
Their flesh and blood bodies are even more terrifying than the orcs who are born with brute strength, and they have amazing defense and recovery capabilities.
And every Holy Light Knight has learned healing magic.
Even if someone is injured, he can quickly recover under the treatment of his companions and then return to the battle.
Except for not being able to fly, they have almost no shortcomings!
There are only 10,000 Holy Light Knights under Klaus' command.
But when they formed a military formation and launched a charge at the same time, it was enough to sweep an ordinary army of one million people!
“It’s better to see than to hear, the Knights of Holy Light indeed have the capital to stand out from the rest.”
Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.
Back then, Immortal Amon, with only 300,000 Holy Light Knights, was able to kill billions of abyss demons without leaving any trace behind.
What a spectacular and majestic scene it would be if one million Holy Light Knights were thrown into the battlefield at the same time?
As an enemy of the Holy Light Empire.
Lu Yuanguang will feel chills running down his spine just imagining that scene!
The next second.
It was accompanied by a harsh noise, a cry that seemed to penetrate the soul. More than three hundred strong and burly Royal Griffins suddenly flapped their wings and appeared high in the sky above the Knights of Holy Light!
They have the body and sharp claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and several vital parts on their backs, all covered with special armor.
Especially the gryphon knights riding on their backs have all undergone special training from the Holy Light Empire Magic Academy.
These gryphon knights possess the power of storm and thunder, and can inflict terrifying long-range strikes on enemies at high altitudes.
Below the Royal Griffin Legion.
The two hundred thousand imperial army is marching silently.
These imperial soldiers followed orders and marched in unison. They were obviously an elite army.
When they were about to approach the Bone Wasteland, they suddenly split into two directions and outflanked them on the left and right sides.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can easily see it.
This imperial army is like an open pocket, forming a huge encirclement, surrounding the entire Bone Wasteland!
All sentries holding shields are located at the front and form the first line of defense.
Behind are archers holding heavy crossbows and musketeers holding guns.
At the very rear of the army, dozens of alchemy forts were lined up, aiming in the direction of the Blood Castle!
These alchemy forts are war-killing weapons created by generations of imperial alchemists who have devoted countless efforts and energy.
Complex magic runes and circuits are drawn on the surface of each alchemy turret.
Let them look like a coexistence of retro and technological beauty.
Although the alchemy turrets are very cumbersome, when they are loaded with shells, the terrifying lethality they unleash will make all enemies regret going against the empire!
Knights of Holy Light!
Royal Griffin Legion!
The elite army of the empire!
The three armies advanced together and soon approached the Scourge Legion!
“Do they want to catch me all in one fell swoop?”
Lu Yuan sneered in his heart, guessing the intentions of Klaus and others.
I have to say.
The strength of the Holy Light Empire is indeed terrifying.
No wonder Klaus was so confident that he dared to allow the Scourge to expand.
In front of such a powerful elite legion, let alone a mere undead lord.
Even the demons from the abyss will be killed without leaving any trace behind!
But Klaus and others never dreamed of it.
This time the Holy Light Empire’s opponent is not an ordinary undead lord.
But a group of fierce and unafraid of death, endless natural disasters!
Go fight!
Go and conquer!
Go kill!
No tactics required! No strategy required! No planning required!
Just tear them apart with an endless army of skeletons!
With a thought, Lu Yuan issued an attack order to the Scourge Legion.
“Woooo~”
When the trumpet sounds.
All the natural disaster skeletons looked up to the sky and screamed, and the bloody soul fire in their eyes suddenly surged.
More than 300,000 headless horsemen took the lead in charging.
Tens of millions of natural disaster skeletons followed closely behind, like a flood that broke a bank, rushing towards the Knights of Holy Light!
“Gulu!”
Facing the endless wave of natural disasters, an indescribable sense of shock and oppression hit us.
Rao was an elite soldier of the empire who had been on the battlefield for a long time. At this moment, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword and spear in his hand, and swallowed nervously.
They are stationed in Blackstone City all year round, and they often use skeletons from the Skeleton Wasteland to train with monsters.
But when they saw this wave of skeletons, they immediately noticed something was wrong.
Because this army of skeletons is orderly and disciplined.
Even when all the skeletons charged at the same time, they still maintained their formation.
It is as if there is a pair of invisible hands controlling their actions behind the scenes!
