Under the Grand Duke's feet, storm vortices are gathering, and he can release the terrifying Legendary magic again at any time.
He looked at the World Crossbows on the fortress wall. These things were the greatest deterrent to the Griffin Legions.
So...
"Wings of the World!"
Cyan magic rippled in the sky, and a moment later, a pair of huge cyan wings bloomed on the Cloud Sea. They were the wings of the bow and arrow, waiting for the strong wind to gather into arrows.
The light cyan light spots condensed in the middle of the wings, and gradually turned into the shape of arrows. In an instant, a cry of Griffin broke out. The arrows left the string, turned into hundreds of arrows halfway, and landed on the city wall.
Originally, half of the thirty World Crossbows were broken under the attack of this Legendary magic. The remaining half could be intact because of the desperate defense of the demon Mages in the fortress.
Facing the Legendary magic of Griffin Grand Duke, they could only defend passively.
"Blessing of the Storm..."
Grand Duke McReynolds murmured, and the cyan wind surrounded the huge sky. This time it was no longer Legendary magic, but Saint Realm-tier other magic. It was still terrifying when released in his hands.
"Attack!"
He personally ordered that Griffin of the Griffin Legion flapped their wings and took off into the air. Blessing of the Storm doubled their speed, leaving only half of World Crossbow unable to defend against the huge Griffin Legion.
"Kill me!"
On the city wall, Otto roared loudly, and then withdrew from the battlefield with Sanctuary Knight.
McReynolds Family, nor Sanctuary Knight.
He jumped down from the edge of the city wall, and his Griffin flew to catch him in mid-air. Then he jumped again and landed at the gate of the fortress.
"Get out of the way!"
He yelled and came to the city gate with a heavy hammer in hand.
This fortress has a total of two gates. Facing the first floor, Otto held a hammer in both hands and smashed it down with all his strength.
The city gate originally had magic inscriptions, but Wind Emperor's Legendary magic defeated the fortress's magic defense, causing the entire fortress to fall into a state of temporary inability to supply magic power.
What was in front of him at this moment was nothing more than an ordinary hard door.
boom!!!!!!
The heavy hammer hit the city gate, and a huge dent appeared in an instant. Before the shock was over, Otto had already swung the heavy hammer again.
"Open it for me!"
With fifteen hammer blows in succession, the city gate shattered, and hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the city gate hole. The next moment they were greeted by the extreme cold wind under their feet, which froze their bodies, and then rocks fell from above their heads, smashing the soldiers into pieces.
"Pull up the siege engines!"
The siege vehicle not only has a battering ram, but also a roof to withstand the arrows above its head.
At this moment, the magic trap in the city gate hole has dissipated, and the siege vehicle rushed in. The second level of the city gate is not as hard as the outermost layer.
Hammer after hammer, there seemed to be a large number of soldiers on the opposite side resisting the power of Otto, including Golden Knight who was blocking the gate.
But every time Otto hit it, it avoided the Golden Knight on the opposite side. Every time, it hit the weak point of the inner city gate.
Finally, the material of the city gate itself could no longer withstand it, and it shattered into pieces.
Otto, who was holding a heavy hammer, gave a ferocious laugh and started to kill the soldiers behind the broken door.
"An impenetrable fortress? Ridiculous."
Thousands of troops rushed into the city, and Griffin Legion fell from the sky. The power of this Extraordinary Legion was unstoppable.
When night fell, Unicorn Fortress was still blazing with fire, and countless people were wailing and running inside, but they were overtaken, killed or captured by soldiers belonging to the McReynolds Family.
All night long, the city was filled with noise and excitement. When the next day came, only streaks of black smoke were left to tell the story of last night's tragedy.
"Carlos Family is so stupid."
Standing next to the Grand Duke, Otto said this.
"If Divine Wind Legion were stationed here, it would be almost impossible for us to capture this fortress, but they only let a group of useless troops defend the north."
Otto's tone was full of ridicule. Carlos Family had reached an agreement with the kingdom. They thought that under that agreement, MacReynolds would not dare to attack here.
Maybe many people wouldn't think of it.
"You led 50,000 soldiers to defend this fortress. In Carlos's hands, he cannot stop our attack, but I hope that in your hands, this fortress will be truly unbreakable."
Da Gong said, Otto knelt down on one knee and said:
"Follow your will, Father."
To the south of the Andara Kingdom, there are four noble territories, two dukes and two Earldom. With this fortress, Grand Duke McReynolds has the confidence to block all wars in the south and completely block the road of several noble territories heading north to the Griffin Mountains.
King signed a contract with four nobles with hereditary power and gave away most of the Griffin Mountains. MacReynolds wanted to see if these nobles had the ability to get that vast land.
"This place belongs to MacReynolds. Even King cannot take it away."
The Grand Duke's eyes were cold, and the war here swept the entire world like a storm.
"There was a civil strife in the Andara Kingdom. That Griffin Grand Duke actually ignored King's order and started a war against the nobles in the south."
"He unilaterally tore up the contract signed between King and the nobles two years ago and vowed to defend his Griffin Mountains to the death."
"What happened to that kingdom of the North?"
For a time, countless eyes looked over. Under the war between the empire and the Church, Andara Kingdom absorbed a lot of heat on its own.
Bang!
Among Andara Royal City, the old King still broke a large number of treasures even while lying on the bed. The palace waiters cleaned them in silence, and then sold the fragments to outside merchants at high prices.
Many people are afraid of the angry Old King at this moment, but not many people really care about him.
Old King is about to die. Everyone knows that he has not left his palace for a long time, and he even only saw his Queen from a distance.
"Let Leta send troops, let him lead Witch Ghost Legion to attack MacReynolds, and take back the power that belongs to the kingdom!"
"Announce MacReynolds's betrayal. From now on, he is the traitor of the kingdom. He betrayed the kingdom and betrayed me!"
"I am giving an order to the entire Southern Continent. From now on, the kingdom will deprive McReynolds Family of all honor and glory. His land and all his wealth will no longer belong to him!"
Old King roared angrily. He did not expect that Griffin Grand Duke would dare to betray and ignore his existence, veto all the kingdom's decisions, and privately send troops to South's fortress.
He was also angry that Carlos Family was so useless that he lost the sturdy Unicorn Fortress in one day. There was no Extraordinary Legion stationed in it, and it was captured so easily by Griffin Grand Duke.
But now, they actually dare to ask themselves, King, why the kingdom's great guild started a war against them!
"Damn Carlos! Go and tell them that I allow them to declare war on MacReynolds. After the war is won, they will get the entire MacReynolds duchy!"
"Griffin Mountains is all theirs, they must kill that traitor for me!"
In his opinion, MacReynolds's betrayal was a shame for the Andara Kingdom. Even after his death, historical records would not praise him too much, King, because in his time, a huge rebellion occurred in the kingdom.
"Betraitors must die."
Old King said loudly, and then coughed violently. The palace servants hurriedly tried to hide the trace of blood.
Twin Cities.
With the help of the demon Mages, just an hour later, the army stationed here and Witch Ghost Legion of Grand Duke Leta received the order.
"You want us to attack MacReynolds immediately?"
Leading Witch Ghost Legion is Anla Leta, a powerful being who converted his warlock blood into Legendary Witch Ghosts. At the same time, he is also the uncle of the current Grand Duke Leta, Leta Family's only Legendary.
He is in charge of the Witch Ghost Legion, using blood to maintain his extraordinary life. At this moment, he received the order from King, and he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.
"We have finally waited for this day. Let us see whether Griffin Legion is the first in the kingdom or Witch Ghost Legion is the most powerful."
The sky was gray. Fifteen thousand Witch Ghosts, with an average height of three meters, rushed out of Twin Cities and headed towards Griffin Grand Duke's territory. Three hours later, they arrived at the first town. More than 30% of the eight thousand MacReynolds people were slaughtered, and the rest were also driven into cages, waiting for Witch Ghosts to be obtained.
From a distance, the entire town gradually turned gray-white. Just like Witch Ghosts's gray-white skin, they did not stay long and launched another attack towards the hinterland of the Grand Dukedom, setting off a massacre belonging to Witch Ghosts in another town.
In the sky, Griffin Legion returned. Tens of thousands of Griffin were overwhelming, densely covering the sky. They charged towards the Witch Ghost Legion on the ground, more than Lions also has sharp and powerful claws to tear apart Witch Ghosts's body, but even Witch Ghosts with missing arms and legs will not die completely. They will use all their strength to attack Griffin.
But although they are tall, there is still a gap compared with Griffin, not to mention that Griffin has fully armed knights swinging five-meter-long hooks on its back.
Anla was shocked by the power of the Griffin Legion. Their family was in the easternmost part of the kingdom and had no military contact with the McReynolds Family. At this moment, looking at Witch Ghosts who kept dying in front of the Griffin Legion, he couldn't help but wonder if his family's Extraordinary Legion was really extraordinary?
"Retreat!"
Looking at the war in the town, Anla began to give orders, and the Witch Ghosts army slowly retreated, but there were still thousands of Witch Ghosts who fell into a rage without orders, and were eventually overwhelmed by Griffin.
In a short battle, Witch Ghost Legion lost three thousand soldiers. For Anla, this was not a big deal, because out of the two Other Plane controlled by the Leta Family, they were able to extract the blood of Witch Ghosts again and integrate it into the slaves, and they could transform into Witch Ghosts warriors in three days.
Leta Family never worry about the cost of war, they only care about whether there is so much blood to feed these Witch Ghosts soldiers.
Five days later, the army from the kingdom approached the territory of MacReynolds. A prince questioned the Grand Duke to no avail, and then a civil war broke out in the kingdom on the plain.
Noble Allied Army, who belonged to the kingdom, had a total of 80,000 soldiers plus Witch Ghost Legion. Facing MacReynolds's 50,000 troops and Griffin Legion, they fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and three full-scale wars broke out, but the results shocked everyone.
MacReynolds won the war in a tragic way!
Witch Ghost Legion was 80% destroyed. They were as powerless as children in front of the Griffin Legion. The only thing that could harm Griffin Legion was the blood toxin in Witch Ghosts's body, which made more than 800 Griffin's bones gray and flesh rotten. After their feathers broke, they fell into the sky and died dying.
As for the death of Griffin Knights, there were less than 500 people.
In the Extraordinary Legion, the ten times battle damage ratio shocked the kingdom and the nobles of South.
In addition to extraordinary wars, the ratio of ordinary soldiers to ten to fifteen ended up. McReynolds Family's army had higher military quality. The kingdom's army usually required two people to kill one MacReynolds soldier.
The brutal war was also here. Coupled with the crazy Witch Ghosts's attack and bloodthirsty, which made no distinction between friend and foe, the kingdom's Noble Allied Army lost nearly 20,000 people, and more than 10,000 soldiers became MacReynolds's prisoners.
The situation in the kingdom became strangely quiet due to this war.
"For the Andara Kingdom, they don't have too many troops to waste, right?"
"The army belonging to the kingdom will not exceed one hundred thousand, and the number of allied troops combined by the nobles will not exceed this number."
"In other words, this war can be regarded as a competition between half of the kingdom's troops and MacReynolds?"
Frozen Earth Territory, Ryan received the news a little late, but they were equally surprised by the result.
It's not that Griffin Grand Duke is so powerful, but that the other nobles in the kingdom are weak.
"In addition to the two grand dukes, Andara Kingdom also has eleven earls, ten of whom are real earls, but none of them participated in the war. This is worth pondering."
Not every earl has his own Extraordinary Legion. A kingdom is not an empire. Among the eleven earls, only four earls have Extraordinary Legion in their hands, and their Extraordinary Legion should not be as good as Witch Ghosts, which is not afraid of death.
But if you add them all together, it shouldn't be underestimated, right?
A large area of land is needed to support an army of the Extraordinary Legion, and this does not include the resources of Otherworld controlled by the nobles.
Therefore, there are no other Extraordinary Legions around the Griffin Mountains. In other words, the Extraordinary Legions of the other four earls in the kingdom are somewhat far away from MacReynolds.
Politics, history and geography can be considered together.
For example, Grand Duke Leta will follow the orders of King and attack Griffin Grand Duke. This is because of historical issues. They are not the inherited nobles of the kingdom, not even the nobles of the Norris Continent, but the nobles who arrived from Otherworld. They were recognized by the Andara Kingdom as nobles and given territory.
Their bond to the Kingdom runs deep.
In addition, the other four earls who own Extraordinary Legion are either nobles who fled from the north, or are Natives nobles of the Andara Kingdom, and are one of the founders of the kingdom.
They have considerable autonomy and choice.
Now that the royal family is unable to do so, they can choose to protect themselves wisely. With their size, there is a high probability that they can withstand the subsequent backlash.
Ryan is conservative and cautious. At least half of the earls will obey King's order and send troops to face Grand Duke McReynolds. The remaining half will selectively attack in the subsequent time.
Those who will support Grand Duke McReynolds... I'm afraid there won't be many.
Use your own power to fight against the entire kingdom, no, even the four noble territories in the south.
As a noble realm with independent sovereignty and territory, the four nobles in the south are not weak.
Ryan is not optimistic about Grand Duke McReynolds. No matter how powerful Griffin Legion is, it cannot withstand the long consumption.
In addition, Ryan has not forgotten that there is also a Feather Dragon Legion within the territory of the Andara Kingdom. This is the legion of the Church. Like Griffin, it can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and is even said to be able to fight in the water for a short time.
"Roland In Imperial Capital, how much help did you ask from the emperor?"
The reason why an empire is an empire is because it is too powerful.
According to Ryan's estimation, Winged Gorge's army is fully capable of confronting Andara Kingdom.
"What Grand Duke McReynolds needs is nothing more than to defeat the four nobles in the south, and then force King of Andara to tear up the contracts with the four nobles, keep his territory, and let McReynolds Family always be at the top and prosperous because of the Griffin Mountains."
"In the face of this goal, he must first resist the attack of the kingdom, and then launch an attack on the noble leaders of South."
"The support the empire can provide is probably only in the fight against the Church."
Ryan saw too few things to make effective guesses. He hoped that Griffin Grand Duke could open up the situation. In that case, when the road was repaired, his caravan could smoothly enter more places.
For example, Leta Family's Witch Ghosts bloodline. This extracted bloodline is itself a precious Supernatural Materials. Mage Luna is very interested in it. Grand Mage Macken is also curious about the extraordinary life that can resist the cold. Mr. Roth will also be interested.
But now Ryan can't even contact that family.
Thinking of this, Ryan once again led the army to Zero Crossing City to personally supervise the construction of the road leading to the Andara Kingdom.
Northwind Province is still quiet. The only thing is the arrival of Marquis's Mother. She formed an extraordinary team with only one hundred and fifty knights in total. The purpose is to find Dawn Believers hidden in Northwind Province.
The key is that she actually found a few.
