Their brief stupor was broken by the arrival of Emily and the others behind Han Shuo. Swooping over in a rush, Emily and the others immediately attacked the knights ahead without mercy.
In an instant, dazzling magic and fierce battle aura erupted together, like bombs falling into their midst, leaving many knights dead or gravely wounded.
Faced with a threat to their lives, the Griffin Legion knights who had just been terrified by Han Shuo's Demon Transformation Art fought desperately. Javelins, arrows, and sharp spears suddenly all came flying toward Han Shuo and the others.
Since the Griffin Legion knights completely blocked the road, Han Shuo's party inevitably had to clash with them as they charged forward. Once these men cast aside their fear and fought desperately, they immediately hindered the party's advance.
However, every member of Han Shuo's party was an expert with formidable martial skills or magic. Fighting on a street that was not particularly wide, the Griffin Legion knights could not spread out to surround them, so only a dozen or so could engage Han Shuo and the others head-on at any time.
Under these circumstances, they were naturally no match. Within a very short time, the Griffin Legion knights were cut down from their horses one after another. Unfortunately, there were around a hundred of them, all battle-hardened warriors. When they counterattacked without fear of death, they slowed Han Shuo's party down as well.
The strange cries of griffins came from the direction Han Shuo and the others had come from. After listening for just a moment, Han Shuo immediately realized that a large force of griffin knights was probably about to arrive. Perhaps Aski, the Griffin Legion's legion commander, would be among them.
"Force your way through, or we'll be too late!" Han Shuo roared.
