The roar of thunder rang out in the sky above the entire royal capital. The spreading lightning net was clearly visible inside and outside the entire royal capital, instantly sweeping up hundreds of griffin knights. Electric arcs as thick as arms were still spreading in all directions.

The griffin knights hovering over the royal capital were so frightened that they flew thousands of meters into the sky, not daring to stay in the low air for even a moment.

Looking at the field of thunder covering their heads, the tangible sense of oppression made the wizards present's hair stand on end.

They didn't expect that Master Lin En actually had such a trick up his sleeve...

Sanchez, who used to be quick-witted, was now so embarrassed that he could not speak. He had just said that the opponent's magic did not have much effect, but the next second, Lynn's lightning net knocked down all the griffin knights.

He is worthy of being called the Star of Magic... Sanchez couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lin En's understanding of magic and his creativity in magic techniques were beyond his reach. His ability to respond to situations on the spot was simply amazing.

No wonder Lin En didn't seem anxious at all when facing the harassment from these griffin riders.

"Go and catch them. There must be some survivors. Put out the fire at the same time. They probably won't dare to come down again in a short time!" Lin En put down his hand and gave the order casually.

Glenn and others nodded after receiving the order, and immediately assigned fifty official wizards to lead more than a thousand musketeers to put out the fire and capture prisoners.

The threat from the air disappeared temporarily and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean, since this thunder magic is so powerful, why didn't you take advantage of the time when those griffin knights gathered together to shoot them all down?" Alok asked with regret.

"The power of thunder and lightning will be dispersed. These griffin knights are not easy to deal with. They have high magic resistance. Even for third-ring magic, it takes a direct hit to cause a fatal threat..." Lin En explained simply.

There was another factor he did not explain. Although the spell just now looked simple, in fact, in order to construct an electromagnetic field large enough to include all enemies in the air, corresponding data was needed to support it.

Just now, those griffin knights had been provoking them frequently in the sky, testing their casting range, and at the same time, they had exposed their own flying and dodging data, all of which were recorded in the database of the intelligent computer.

What Lin En was waiting for was the moment when these griffin knights thought they were in a safe area and gradually relaxed their vigilance, and then he would inflict heavy damage on them in one fell swoop.

However, although the results of this battle were very fruitful, Lin En did not underestimate these elite forces of the Holy See. Instead, he raised their threat rating to a higher level.

According to the data provided by the intelligent computer, these griffins can fly at a speed of nearly 80 kilometers per hour when carrying people and a lot of oil. They can fly even faster when accelerating into a dive, reaching more than 130 kilometers. The standard speed of the third-generation airship is 150 kilometers per hour, so the difference between the two is not that big.

And almost every knight on their backs can use simple divine magic, and with the help of extremely fast and flexible griffins, they even have the ability to kill official wizards in a one-on-one fight!

Each Griffin Knight is extremely powerful individually, let alone when they attack in groups from the air.

If they were not afraid of the magic of these wizards, these eight hundred griffin knights would be enough to burn down the entire capital and kill all the defenders here.

Only the Holy See could be so generous as to train powerful monsters like griffins on a large scale for use in war.

He had seen the Griffin Knights, one of the two elite groups. They were indeed impressive, but he didn't know what the God's Punishment Army would look like. Thinking of this, Lin En looked at the Silver Armored Guards marching in formation in the distance and spoke after pondering for a moment.

…

On the other side of the battlefield, Edwill, who was preparing to launch a general attack by taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Griffin Knights, had no idea that the situation on the battlefield would take a 180-degree turn in an instant.

The Griffin Knights, who were originally showing off their might and had the upper hand, were struck down by the lightning in the blink of an eye! Everything happened so fast that they had no time to stop it before it was over!

"Another magic that has never been recorded!" There was no expression on Edelweir's face with the iron mask, but his tone was extremely cold. It seemed that those wizards huddled in the wizarding land and researched a lot of new things.

"Retreat, today's offensive ends here!" Edwell gave the order without hesitation.

“But, Lord Edwyre… Commander Arno was also struck down by lightning and is still in the royal capital.” The adjutant of the God’s Punishment Army spoke anxiously, with an unwilling look on his face.

Although he had never thought that he could capture this fortified city dominated by devil followers within a day before launching the attack, and this battle was mainly for testing, the losses could only be described as tragic...

More than 20,000 of the 50,000 noble coalition soldiers have died, and the most critical thing is that hundreds of griffin knights have died. His heart is bleeding!

The result gained by such heavy losses was just to set fire to the capital and burn down some houses...

In his opinion, after several rounds of consumption, the wizards had also spent a lot of magic power. Now was the time for a full-scale attack! "Now, convey my order, retreat!" Edelweir emphasized his tone.

"As for Arno, that thunder magic can't kill him..."

Edwill said with certainty that the spell released by Lynn was indeed powerful, but the power was dispersed throughout the airspace and in the bodies of hundreds of griffin knights. It was impossible to kill Arno, a cardinal, and it was even difficult to seriously injure him.

Since Arno didn't make a big noise in the city, it proved that the other party had his own plan...

Aidwell's order made the cardinals very dissatisfied. It was the first time they suffered such a big loss when facing the evil god's followers, and now they had to retreat in disgrace...

So much so that some people suspected that Edelweir wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

After all, Arno is known for being unruly, and it is not the first time that he has acted without orders...

However, before he could utter any rebuttal, a powerful wave of magical power came from the city wall of the royal capital.

What are they trying to do at such a long distance? The bishops were puzzled. The distance from here to the city gate was about 1.5 kilometers. According to the test just now, this should exceed the range of the artillery...
