Chapter 516: Chapter 327: Traces of the Ninth Level Dragon Clan Bloodline Beast King; Dwarf Cavalry Corps—Wild Boar Knights
One thousand Elf Griffin Cavalry shot into the sky like arrows, quickly reaching an altitude of one thousand meters.
This altitude brought them to the lower-middle reaches of the mountain range where the Rock-winged Flying Dragons resided.
So, the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps continued to ascend.
Upon reaching an altitude of six thousand meters,
looking down from this height, the Rock-winged Flying Dragons residing on the mountain range below appeared no larger than the palm of a hand.
"First Squadron, prepare to dive! Execute the Legion Skill—Wind Charge!"
"Second and Third Squadrons, prepare to provide support from the left and right flanks. Encircle their position and cut off any reinforcements. Don’t let a single Rock-winged Flying Dragon escape."
"Yes, sir!"
Of course, such a large-scale maneuver by the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps could not have gone unnoticed.
Many of the Rock-winged Flying Dragons nesting in the mountains began to peer out from their lairs.
Seeing the numerous and powerful Elf Griffin Cavalry opposite them, many Rock-winged Flying Dragons began to unleash their draconic aura.
Of course, the purpose of unleashing this aura was not to start a war, but to intimidate the intruders and prevent one from breaking out.
However, upon seeing the Rock-winged Flying Dragons sense the commotion and voluntarily emerge from their nests, Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander William actually smiled.
Under Legion Commander William’s lead, one thousand Elf Griffin Cavalry unleashed their Wind Magic Power in unison, forming the Legion Skill—Wind Charge!
This technique not only reduced wind resistance but also dramatically increased their diving speed!
Cyan Wind Elements converged around the diving Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, forming a triangular wedge.
In an instant,
the descent speed of the Elf Griffin Cavalry became faster than sound!
As the sound of the air being torn asunder echoed through the clouds, the Rock-winged Flying Dragons in the mountains and valleys below finally sensed the danger.
Yet, despite sensing the danger, the Dragon Clan blood flowing through the Rock-winged Flying Dragons’ veins prevented them from retreating.
’We’ve lived here for centuries,’
’and not a single Giant Beast has ever dared to provoke us like this!’
’How dare this upstart Clan provoke us!’
Therefore, even though they sensed the enemy’s immense strength, the Rock-winged Flying Dragons did not retreat. Instead, they furiously beat their wings, preparing to meet the attack head-on.
But it was too late.
"Wind Charge!"
At Legion Commander William’s furious roar, the thousand Elf Griffin Cavalry unleashed a second Skill.
Carried on the currents of air generated by the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps’ charge, and under the deliberate control of the Wind Elves,
small Wind Spears materialized in front of each Griffin.
When the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps closed to less than two hundred meters from the Rock-winged Flying Dragons,
the Wind Spears collided head-on with the ascending dragons.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The Wind Spears easily tore through the Rock-winged Flying Dragons’ defensive Dragon Scales.
The Griffins’ Sharp Claws sank viciously into the Rock-winged Flying Dragons’ heads, while their beaks tore at the dragons’ wings and necks.
In just the first dive,
over a dozen Rock-winged Flying Dragons were killed outright, their bodies plummeting to the ground like meteorites.
"Pull up! We go again!"
Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander William ordered.
The Wind Elves swiftly pulled their Griffins up, tracing a graceful U-shaped arc through the sky as they prepared for a second attack run.
After the first attack,
the over eighty surviving Rock-winged Flying Dragons were clearly thrown into a panic.
Even though they were more than ten times the size of the Elves!
But to lose so many of their kin in the first exchange struck fear into their hearts.
But they were, after all, Giant Beasts with the blood of the Dragon Clan. Once the immediate danger had passed, they quickly organized a counterattack.
The Elf Griffin Cavalry had been able to pull up for a second run because their first strike had caught the Rock-winged Flying Dragons by surprise.
But now that the Rock-winged Flying Dragons were organizing a counterattack,
that maneuver could not be used again.
However, Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander William didn’t need a third chance.
Just as the leader of the Rock-winged Flying Dragons—the largest of them, over fifty meters long with dark gold scales—let out a furious roar and led its kin in a counterattack,
the other two squadrons of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, which had been positioned below and concealed by Magic that masked their sight and scent, sprang into action.
Two thousand Elf Griffin Cavalry flanked them from the left and right, unleashing a dense volley of arrows to halt the Rock-winged Flying Dragons’ upward pursuit.
Specially-made Armor-Piercing Arrows traced arcs through the sky, precisely striking the joints where the Rock-winged Flying Dragons’ wings met their bodies, as well as their eyes and other joints.
"HISSS!"
"HISSSS!"
Another two dozen Rock-winged Flying Dragons were struck.
THUD! THUD!
The Rock-winged Flying Dragons slammed heavily into the ground.
However, compared to the first group that had fallen, this batch of Rock-winged Flying Dragons was slightly more fortunate.
After all, they were only injured, not dead.
Seeing this closer and more threatening enemy,
the Rock-winged Flying Dragons quickly changed their target and unleashed the Dragon Breath they had been holding back.
The earthy-yellow Dragon Breath was laced with sand and Metal particles.
It was not only corrosive but also obscured their vision.
"Watch out for the Dragon Breath! Maintain distance!"
Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander William yelled.
Nevertheless, several dozen Elf Griffin Cavalry failed to evade in time and were struck head-on by the breath attack.
Their Griffins shrieked in pain as the grit and sand shredded their feathers into a bloody mess, staining their white plumage red.
The Armor of the Wind Elves on their backs corroded and cracked under the assault.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this from high above as he began another dive, Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps Commander William gritted his teeth and commanded:
"Execute the Legion Skill—Land of No Wind!"
The moment he gave the order, the diving Wind Elves on their Griffins simultaneously mobilized the Wind Element within their bodies, blanketing the airspace occupied by the Rock-winged Flying Dragons below.
