Chapter 477: 475: Griffin Legion (Subscribe)
Geographically, the Flower Territory is located northwest of the Duchy of Normandy.
Further north is the Dome Mountains, considered the last habitat of Warcraft; to the west is the Silver Sea, where maritime trade is flourishing;
To the east is Frost Moon Canyon, a branch of the Dome Mountains, which extends abruptly into undulating mountains, dividing the Flower Territory and the Earldom of Wick.
Further east of the Earldom of Wick is the Marquisate of Carlisle.
In a sense, the Earl of Wick was actually a vassal of the Marquis of Carlisle and had to be loyal to him.
In other words, Marquis Carlisle's army had to march eastward and pass through the Frost Moon Canyon before they could enter the Flower Territory.
As for the south of Flower Territory, it is the territory of the Castro family.
This family, known for its shrewdness, is best at making money. They plunder every gold coin through trade and lending.
Their family members are born with the ability to settle accounts and are good at trading.
The west of the Marquis of Castro's territory is actually also adjacent to the Silver Sea, and has its own seaports, caravans and fleets.
For a period of time, the Castro family and the Raymond family were the biggest competitors in maritime trade and shipping.
As a result, huge contradictions have accumulated between the two sides.
This is the biggest reason why the Castro family actively participated in the man-made disaster of "Destruction of Raymond".
Unfortunately, when Loyi came to power and Flower County embarked on the right track of the magic energy industry, this so-called "competition" became a joke.
However, at this time, the Castro family no longer had the courage to provoke Roy, and they were even afraid to sabotage in secret.
In other words, if their army wanted to attack Flower Territory, the most direct way was to go north and pass through a place called Rose Forest.
As for the last McKinley family, their territory was located further south of the Castro family, bordering the territories of the Norman family and the Floyd family.
But it does not directly border Flower Territory.
If they wanted to attack the Flower Territory, they would also have to march north, pass through the Marquis of Castro's Territory, and enter the Flower Territory from a small town called "Moonlight Castle".
It's not impossible to get it from other places, but this is the closest one.
It can be said that the war between the three marquis families and the Flower Territory is fought in three directions and on three battlefields.
Three against one, and then dividing the battlefield, it almost looks like an encirclement.
If the old Marquis Castro is determined, he can also use the family merchant ships to directly attack the west coast line of the Flower Territory.
Alternatively, attack Siren Harbor directly.
Regardless of whether we can win or not, as far as the situation is concerned, we are pressing forward in all three directions.
On paper, the situation facing Flower Territory is quite bad. It is almost surrounded, and it feels like the whole world is its enemy.
Luo Yi, and even a group of generals under him, thought that the three marquises would do this.
After all, if the troops are divided into three parts, the Flower Territory’s military strength will become stretched to the limit.
Moreover, the command will be relatively dispersed, and the strong will have to be spread out across three battlefields, which will put greater pressure on supplies and logistics.
Even if they could gain an advantage in one battlefield, break through the defense line and enter the Flower Territory, it would bring great losses to Luoyi.
Don’t you see that even a powerful empire like the Habsburg Empire was not willing to fight a war on two fronts?
If Luo Yi were in charge, he would definitely do this. There are many advantages and very few disadvantages.
But I don’t know what’s wrong with the three marquises that they have to gather their troops together.
The Castro family's army marched eastward; the McKinley family's march route remained unchanged, heading north;
The Carlisle family's army suffered the most. They had to draw a bend, bypass the Norman family's territory, and then head west.
Finally, the three legions met at Moonlight Castle, then headed north and entered the Flower Territory.
Of course, before that, they have to defeat the Flower Territory's army head-on.
As for attacks at sea, there were none at all.
Marquis Castro even sailed his family's merchant ships farther away, as if he was afraid of being attacked.
The trade in Siren Port was not affected at all. It was even more prosperous due to the rush to transport goods due to the war.
This arrangement really confused Luo Yi, and he even suspected for a moment that the three major families were planning some shocking conspiracy.
As a result, he and a group of generals analyzed various possibilities, but none of them were feasible.
At this stage, the most reasonable explanation is the one proposed by the Flame Sword Saint Otto, that the three families want to gather their forces together, with ten times the strength, and press forward in an all-out effort to directly crush the Flower Territory's defense line.
But soon, this reason was refuted by Alfonso.
The reason lies in the movement speed.
The Flower Territory has a magic train and a heavy truck transport team. Even if they issue an order now to withdraw troops and gather at Moonlight Castle,
Even after digging trenches, arranging artillery positions, and making all kinds of preparations, the enemy was still slowly moving forward.
The so-called heavy siege is simply not true!
At the end of the discussion, Luo Yi gave up!
Perhaps, it makes sense to anticipate the enemy and give it your all, but when there is an absolute gap in strength, crushing them is the best approach.
When this thought came to his mind, Luo Yi stopped worrying about it. He just made plans and prepared to go to the front line.
However, before he left, Silas, the King of Fury, found him.
He dragged and pulled Luo Yi to the ruins of the Lion Castle.
"I say, Silas, even if you want to fight, the war is about to begin, and there are plenty of enemies for you to defeat.
Why did you have to drag the Count here to get a beating?"
This was the thought of Iron Knight Phil. He thought so and said so, with a smile on his face, as if he was remembering some funny scene.
The furious king Silas turned his head and glared at him, but then looked at Luo Yi and said, "Gift, I'll give you a gift!"
"What kind of gift is it that has to be brought here?" Luo Yi also became interested:
The furious king Silas chuckled but did not answer until they arrived at the place. He suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl.
His roar was like a lion's roar or an eagle's cry, with extremely penetrating low humming waves, shaking the surroundings and making dust fall.
That is to say, all those who came here together are strong, otherwise, they might be shocked unconscious in this life.
Luo Yi frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but his ears twitched slightly and he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
There, he heard the sound of flapping wings and the roars of lions and the cries of eagles.
Then, a large black shadow flapped its wings from the end of the sky. It was very fast and was close to them in just a moment.
Hundreds of griffins folded their wings and crashed directly to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
Iron Knight Phil almost instinctively stood in front, raised his foot, stomped the ground, and the war trampled on the ground, creating a shock wave that swept away the smoke and dust.
But an extremely majestic griffin had already approached and suddenly lowered its head in front of the Furious King Silas.
The Fury King Silas reached out and rubbed its chin with a smile on his face.
Looking at the hundreds of griffins, Luo Yi couldn't help but step forward and reach out to rub them.
But the griffin glanced at him with a sidelong glance, with a strong breath, and even stretched out its head to hit Luo Yi.
Obviously, it is still untamed and refuses to be disciplined.
However, what greeted him was a slap from the furious king Silas, directly on the face.
With a 'bang', the Griffin King was pinned to the ground, feeling dizzy for a moment.
At the back, the Griffin King's fellow tribesmen had no intention of rescuing their master. They jumped back one by one, obviously very frightened.
At this time, the Rage King Silas turned to Luo Yi and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, it hasn't been completely tamed yet.
Ahem, but, my Lord, don't worry, I'm here to keep them obedient."
Luo Yi's face twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "Are these the griffins on Griffin Mountain?"
"Yes, when I was staying in that town, I had nothing to do, so I went up to play with them. I used some taming techniques to make them obedient."
At this time, Iron Knight Phil couldn't help but ask, "The secret technique you mentioned, could it be just beating them up?"
Silas, the King of Rage, glanced at him and said bluntly, "Of course not. How can a beating make them obedient?
You have to beat them many times. If they don't obey, beat them until they obey. Then beat their entire tribe, and they will obey."
"Look, it's like this now!"
As he spoke, he patted the Griffin King beneath him and let out a series of low growls, like a tiger or an eagle, full of threats.
Then, the Griffin King no longer dared to pretend to be dead, but jumped up directly.
As he said this, he looked at Luo Yi again and said, "I heard that when you first arrive at a place, you should give some gifts to the host.
This is called reciprocity. I hope the host family will take better care of me in the future."
"I see that Flowers County has everything else, but it lacks aerial combat capabilities, making it easy for others to target it.
As it happens, these griffins still have some fighting power, so they'd be great as gifts."
These words really made Luo Yi laugh and cry.
You say he doesn't understand the ways of the world?
He also knew how to give gifts, and the gift was what Luo Yi needed.
But you want to say that he understands the ways of the world?
This gift is too crude.
However, with a sudden thought, Luo Yi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Silas, can you train these griffins so that people can ride them?"
"Well, it's not possible yet, but if you give me some time, it should be possible."
"That would be great. I'll assign a group of men to you. Can you help me train them into Griffin Knights?"
“Okay, okay!”
"But, if that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be useful in this battle."
"We didn't need them in this battle."
…
I have to say, this is definitely a pleasant surprise.
The Griffin Legion, a flying unit that only existed in the Raymond family plan, actually saw the possibility of realization?
However, taming these griffins is not as easy as Silas said.
His roar, which sounded like that of a lion or an eagle, seemed to be able to communicate with the griffins, making them extremely afraid.
This should be the real reason why the griffin surrendered.
However, for the King of Fury Silas, he only thought that his fists worked.
What Loyi allocated to the Griffin Legion were not simple knights, but second-level elite knights who had just started meditation.
There aren't many people like this, but there are still quite a few in the Royal Guards. They're carefully selected and trained by the Rage King Silas, and then equipped with dimensional bags and enough artillery shells...
There is no talk of bombers at present, but Roy thinks that it is not impossible for the Griffin Legion to make a cameo appearance!
The only casualties were the First Guards.
The First Guard Corps, which originally had only 10,000 people, had some of its members assigned to drive tanks, and some assigned to drive griffins, further reducing its number.
Therefore, Luo Yi started recruiting again without hesitation.
This time, with the war crisis ahead, everyone's enthusiasm for joining the army has greatly increased.
After arranging all this, Luo Yi led a group of people and embarked on a journey south.
