Chapter 248: Chapter 204: Burning the Tree-men, Griffin Legion vs. Winged Dogman Legion
Hu Jinxin mentally analyzed all the Clan Corps Zhang Yi had deployed but found nothing amiss. When he looked up at Zhang Yi’s face again, he was dismayed to see that the smile had not vanished.
Seeing Zhang Yi’s smile, and despite feeling that everything on the battlefield was fine, Hu Jinxin could only suppress his unease.
As if to bolster his own confidence and prove a point to Zhang Yi, Hu Jinxin declared,
"The Tree-man Corps, Elf Warriors, Elf Archers, and Elf Mages—you’ve sent them all out."
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve!"
As he spoke, Hu Jinxin secretly issued an Oracle, commanding the phalanx of Dogman Mages to immediately cast Magic and attack the opposing Elf Corps.
As for the Giant Demon Shaman Corps,
half would remain in the rear to provide various types of buffing Magic for the Giant Demon Corps and to maintain the stability of the Evil Magic Array.
The other half of the Giant Demon Shamans were to immediately cast Support Totems on the Winged Dogmen in the sky, making them fly even faster!
At the same time, they were to prepare to ignite the Black Oil!
Receiving their orders, the Winged Dogman Legion, empowered by the Support Totems, flew even faster!
The two thousand Winged Dogmen let out shrill screeches, flapping their leathery wings with all their might.
Just as they were about to execute a U-turn and drop the barrels of Black Oil they carried,
suddenly,
WHOOSH—!
A sudden, powerful gust of wind blew the swarm of Winged Dogmen, who had been flying high in the air, back in the direction they came from.
In an instant,
the gust hurled the entire group of Winged Dogmen back at least one hundred and fifty meters!
It pushed the Winged Dogmen, who had been about to fly over the Tree-man Corps, back over their own Dogman Corps.
In fact, the headwind was so strong that many of the smaller Winged Dogmen, who were already struggling to fly while carrying the barrels,
were tossed about violently in the air like kites with their strings cut, tumbling toward the Dogman Corps below.
"What?!"
Hu Jinxin cried out in shock.
’Aren’t his Elf Mage Corps already tied down by my phalanx of Dogman Mages and the Giant Demon Shamans?’
’Where did this gale come from?!’
Hu Jinxin didn’t have to wonder for long.
The next moment, the answer was revealed.
In the distance, against the clear sky, the sharp cries of eagles echoed as five hundred well-equipped soldiers of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps suddenly emerged from the clouds.
Atop each Griffin rode a fully-armed Wind Elf.
Leading them was none other than the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander, William.
He rode an exceptionally large golden Griffin and wielded a sharp Long Spear imbued with the Wind Element.
"Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, charge with me!"
"Use the Legion Skill: [Land of No Wind]!"
As one, the minds of the Elves and Griffins in the cavalry corps linked,
and together, they unleashed their Legion Skill!
In the blink of an eye, a vast amount of Wind Element was rapidly drawn out of the space occupied by the Winged Dogmen.
Winged Dogmen were a special breed of Dogman capable of flight, that much was true,
but the prerequisite for flight was the presence of air!
Instantly, the Legion Skill cast by the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps sucked the Wind Element from the air surrounding the two-thousand-strong Winged Dogman Legion.
In its place, a Land of No Wind was formed!
The Winged Dogmen, who had been blown back over their own army and were still clutching their barrels,
now,
began to fall one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot!
But while dumplings fall into a pot,
this swarm of Winged Dogmen, clutching barrels of Black Oil, fell into the ranks of their own kind—the Dogman Corps.
"This is bad!"
Hu Jinxin’s face turned pale in an instant as a terrible realization dawned on him.
Under the effect of the [Land of No Wind] Legion Skill, jointly cast by the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps,
the Winged Dogmen carrying the barrels of Black Oil were completely out of control, having lost all command of their flight.
What was worse, faced with a crisis they had never experienced before,
many of the Dogmen let go of the barrels they were holding in a desperate attempt to save themselves.
The barrels, filled to the brim with Black Oil that would burn for a long time once lit, plummeted to the ground!
And the direction they were falling
was no longer toward Zhang Yi’s Tree-man Corps and Elf Corps,
but toward Hu Jinxin’s own seven-thousand-strong Dogman Corps!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One by one, the barrels of Black Oil shattered upon impact, splattering their contents in a ten-meter radius.
Most landed among Hu Jinxin’s Dogman Corps,
but a few barrels even tumbled through the air and fell among the Giant Demon Corps in the rear.
"Scatter! Scatter!"
Hu Jinxin roared in panic, not even bothering with a private command.
Instead, he used the type of Oracle that all Clans could hear during a divine battle.
And at this moment, Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala, who had been under strict orders from Elf Legion Commander Feiyana not to reveal herself,
finally let out a cold smirk.
’Now’s my chance!’
"You like playing with fire, don’t you?"
"Then let me show you just how naive it is to play with fire in front of a Fire Elf!"
Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala raised the Semi-Divine Artifact once bestowed upon her by the great God of Nature—the Crimson Staff!
Along with her, the contingent of Fire Elf Mages standing by behind her, who had been waiting for this moment, also prepared to act.
