Chapter 736: The poor cannot beat the rich

Mondra’s face changed color, the power of the bomb exceeded his expectations, it was too fierce. He looked towards the army of West Gran and saw that they had not moved at all, standing outside the city at a distance of five hundred yards, as if watching a show.

Meanwhile, behind West Gran’s army, the sound of cannon fire continued to thunder, and the sound of shells whistling through the air never stopped.

On the city walls, behind the walls, and even in a residential area close to the west wall, all were covered by these randomly falling shells. Sometimes there would be an explosion of fire here, and sometimes a group of soldiers would be blown up over there.

The army stationed on the city wall and hidden behind the wall was bombed by these bombs, which could fall at any time and in any place. They were thrown into chaos, unable to find their bearings.

The morale of Mondra’s army was already not very high, and now with this wave of bombing, their already poor morale was completely shattered. Many soldiers left their posts and the formation was not maintained, either lying on the ground, hiding in houses, crouching on low walls, or lying in the grass… all sorts of disordered poses.

Seeing his army become like this, Mondra was also a bit confused. The two armies had not yet begun to engage in battle, how could it be like this? How could this battle be fought? The magical tools on the other side were really too much.

When Mondra attacked Bright Road, things were different…

Duke Yingsi said loudly, “Your Majesty, this won’t work. Our army has collapsed before the war has even begun. We must find a way to defeat their artillery.”

Mondra looked outside the city for a moment, “It’s too far away! And there’s a large army blocking our way in front. Our cavalry cannot charge through.”

“We can only send the air force.” Yingsi said, “Let the Griffin Knights attack.”

Mondra thought about it and had no choice but to agree, “Okay, give the order! Let the griffin knights attack.”

Yingsi nodded and quickly conveyed the order.

Soon, a Griffin Knight squad flew into the sky from the palace’s backyard. In the sky, they saw from a distance behind West Gran’s army, there was an artillery position surrounded by countless skeleton soldiers, with many gunners in the middle holding strange small tubes that were lit with fuses. They would then blast out a cloud of smoke and the sound of shells whistling through the air.

“The artillery position is right there!”

“Charge over and burn down that artillery position.”

The Griffin Knights had magic incendiary bombs hanging from their waists. As long as they flew over the position, they could throw the bombs and destroy West Gran’s artillery position.

Because even fools know that diving to attack artillery positions is very dangerous and will be shot by the opponent’s skeletal archers in large numbers, so throwing magic incendiary bombs in the air is the best way to solve the problem.

The queen looked at the rising griffin knights in the city rushing towards them and couldn’t help but sneer, “Manticore knights, intercept them!”

A manticore army responded immediately. The queen had already guessed that the opponent would use the griffin force to deal with her artillery and had prepared the manticore army in advance. How could she let the enemy’s air force approach easily?

The two air forces began a fierce battle in mid-air, with bows and arrows, spears, and magic flying back and forth, making it chaotic.

At first, it seemed evenly matched, but after a few minutes of fighting, the griffin knights felt something was wrong. Their mission was to destroy the artillery positions. What was the use of fighting against the enemy’s air force here? If they continued fighting, it would be equivalent to losing.

West Gran’s artillery was still firing fiercely, and shells kept flying into the city, causing Mondra’s army to flee in panic, and even the heads of the guards on the city wall dared not show themselves. If the griffin knights couldn’t stop all of this, their fight would be meaningless.

At this point, the griffin knights had no choice but to fight desperately.

Several griffin knights rushed towards the artillery camp regardless of the manticore knights in front of them, with a look of “even if we die, we will throw the magic incendiary bombs into your camp”.

However, as soon as they were ready to fight, they heard Robb shouting loudly on the ground, “Manticore knights, are you crazy? How can you shoot arrows and throw spears without the magic items I gave you?”

The manticore knights suddenly woke up and remembered that Robb had given each of them a few small balls last night.

The manticore knights took out the small balls and threw them at the griffin knights…

The griffin knights were not fools and of course would not let themselves be hit easily by the small balls. They tried to dodge to one side, but unexpectedly, the small balls exploded with a bang in mid-air, spraying out a huge spider web that covered them and the knights on their backs.

Both the griffins and their riders panicked! They struggled fiercely in the spider web, but to no avail. The spider web tightened as they struggled, and the griffin’s wings could no longer flap. With a scream, they plummeted to the ground.

Dozens of griffin knights were hit by this trick in an instant.

Originally, the Griffin Knights, which numbered over a hundred, instantly lost almost half of their members.

The remaining half couldn’t help but panic, “The enemy has magic tools even in their air force?”

“Where did they get so many magic tools?”

“Is West Gran so rich?”

“Damn!”

“Forget about them, even if there’s only one person left, we must burn down their position.”

The remaining Griffin Knights charged frantically towards the artillery position, risking their lives like heroes…

However, the willpower of the poor is destined to be unable to overcome the arrogance of the rich. This is not a Japanese anime, where one can always win as long as they have perseverance. Faced with the overwhelming equipment advantage of the enemy, the Griffin Knights were destined to only write a tragic and tearful story.

In the blink of an eye, most of the Griffin Knights in the sky were caught in spider webs and fell from the sky. If they could fall back into their own positions, they might have been caught by their own water magicians with a water ball spell and not died from the fall. However, now they were all heading towards West Gran’s artillery position, and naturally they would only fall towards the heads of West Gran’s troops, closing their eyes to await death.

However…

What they didn’t expect was that just as they were about to fall into the enemy’s formation and be killed by random swords, Robb suddenly waved his hand and a whirlwind lifted them up and slowly landed them on the ground.

The generals of West Gran couldn’t help but be a little confused. What was Robb Smith doing?

Robb turned to the queen and said, “They are all the people of the kingdom of Gran. As long as we take out Mondra, it’s fine. These soldiers can still be saved, right?”

The queen was a decisive person. After a slight hesitation for a second, she waved her hand and said, “Don’t kill them, just detain them.”
