Gargoyle has indeed grown into the shape of a big bat as Falstad said. A pair of wide bat wings provide Gargoyle with high-speed flight capabilities and quick response. From Aaron's perspective, these Gargoyles may be slightly faster than Gryphon Riders.
And unlike the ordinary Undead, Gargoyle is more like a golem than a monster made up of corpses. Although the blue-gray skin on the body is dim, it also gives them strong defensive capabilities. Just like their name, this layer of skin has almost rock-like defensive capabilities.
"Storm Bolt, smash!" Falstad watched Gargoyle gradually approaching, and ordered his subordinates Gryphon Rider to prepare to attack together. The war hammer shining with thunder turned into a line of terror. A terrifying arc struck the Gargoyles flying in the front. The thunder power attached to the Storm Bolts caused the Gargoyles to fall into a brief paralysis and had to fall to the ground.
For a moment, the forest below was filled with the sound of Gargoyle hitting the branches and the ground. However, facing Gargoyle's skin, the effect of Storm Bolt was also weakened. There were still many Gargoyle quickly got rid of the paralysis effect and flew back to its original height. Those who fell, except for a few who were not lucky enough and broke into pieces, the remaining Gargoyle immediately flapped their wings and planned to fly back after regaining their ability to move.
However, there are no exceptions. Although the Holy Light Warhammer thrown by Aaron will not cause paralysis when it falls on Gargoyle, the damage is stronger than that of Storm Bolt. The Gargoyle hit by Aaron will even disintegrate directly. Obviously, what maintains the activity of Gargoyle is the power of death restrained by Holy Light, otherwise the effect would not be so obvious.
"Come with me!" After using Storm Bolt to slightly interrupt Gargoyle's offensive, Falstad did not wait for his subordinates to prepare for the next attack, but took the lead and rushed into the Gargoyle group.
For the Gryphon Riders, what they are better at is wielding a battle ax or a war hammer to fight with the enemy in close combat. At this time, their mounts can also provide a considerable degree of assistance. The griffon is also a ferocious beast, and its meat is not free to eat. The sharp beak and sharp claws can leave deep wounds on the enemy.
Because Aaron had not been exposed to the training of Gryphon Rider, his reaction was a little slower. By the time he realized that he should rush forward, Gryphon Rider had already found their own targets, and for a while, there was no room for Aaron to intervene.
After realizing this, Aaron controlled the gryphon to hover in the air, but he did not stay away from the battlefield. Instead, he and Vereesa provided support to Gryphon Rider. The arrows shot by Vereesa were accompanied by the power of thunder, which could easily break through Gargoyle's hard skin.
Holy Light of Aaron also has extraordinary damage to Gargoyle, and Aaron can also provide treatment for injured Gryphon Riders. Apart from anything else, Aaron can treat Gryphon Rider almost unlimitedly. The s' method of applying a layer of Divine Shield is enough to save the life of a Wildhammer Dwarves who might be killed. Other Paladin cannot do this unless they were Priest before becoming Paladin.
It is precisely because being outside the battle situation can better grasp the changes in the battlefield, Aaron noticed something unusual. Logically speaking, although the number of Gryphon Riders is greater than that of Gargoyle is slightly less powerful, but it is superior in terms of strength. Coupled with the support of Aaron and Vereesa, not to mention gaining an overwhelming advantage, it should also have a solid upper hand, right?
However, the battles on the Gryphon Rider side are always dangerous. Will a Gryphon Rider fall in? There will be branches to block it, and the gryphon will not just sit back and watch its rider fall to death. Therefore, Wildhammer Dwarves will not die even if they fall, but the impact on the battle situation is very obvious. They actually maintain a nearly balanced situation, and even have the faint intention of letting Gargoyle win the battle.
"What is going on?" Aaron briefly explained the situation he observed to Vereesa, and asked her to help pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Not long after, Vereesa patted Aaron on the shoulder. "Do you think there is anything hidden around those Gargoyle?"
"Can't you see clearly?" Aaron was a little surprised. He had never encountered a situation where Vereesa could not see the specific situation clearly. The battlefield was not too far away from them.
"It's not that you can't see clearly, it's that you can't see it." Vereesa stretched a finger from behind to Aaron's eyes and shook it, explaining, "I just noticed something was wrong, but those things should be hiding themselves deliberately."
"Hide it on purpose?" Aaron repeated it, and said to Vereesa, "Since we can't see clearly from here, let's rush up and have a look."
After saying that, Aaron randomly picked the Gargoyle closest to him, regardless of the Wildhammer Dwarves who was entangled with this Gargoyle. Stealing the opponent's sad gaze, Aaron directly poured Holy Light into the war hammer and smashed it down hard, causing Gargoyle to disintegrate in the air.
"No." Aaron also paid attention to the status of Gargoyle when attacking, but did not find anything abnormal. He immediately ran to the next target. After repeating this several times, Aaron heard a strange wailing after smashing a Gargoyle.
You must know that Gargoyle rarely makes any noise when he dies, but this time he made an almost female scream, which made Aaron stunned for a moment. After repeating it several times, he finally realized that there was Banshee hiding in Gargoyle's body, right?
The Banshees who only have souls have a rather terrifying ability, which is possession. The target possessed by Banshee is basically equivalent to becoming the plaything of Banshee. To regain freedom, the only way is to expel the Banshee or the Banshee themselves to relieve this state.
Gryphon Riders had frequent problems just now. I'm afraid it's these Banshees who are causing trouble. They actually thought of using Gargoyle to cover Banshee's actions. It's really cunning.
Aaron thought so, and did not forget to remind Gryphon Riders loudly to pay attention to this. However, the strange thing is that Aaron did not get a response, and could only hear the sound of fighting.
Surprised, Aaron glanced around, only to find that his actions in trying to find Banshee had greatly affected the situation on the battlefield. Not only Aaron solved Gargoyle by himself, but the knights who had been robbed by him would also help his companions, which greatly accelerated the tilt of the battlefield situation.
In addition, the number of incoming Banshees is not particularly large. Now that Gryphon Riders have completely gained the upper hand and are about to finish off all the enemies, Aarons' reminder at this time is no longer necessary.
