Chapter 778: The Surprise of the City Lords
"It's flying over here!"
Even though he knew that even if they paid attention to the swift dragon bird, they could do nothing about it.
However, when the swift dragon bird was about to fly over them, Johnson and other city lords subconsciously looked upwards.
As those swift dragon birds approached the griffin knights and other magical beasts and birds, they could all imagine what kind of scene would appear in the next moment.
Sure enough, the next moment, they saw hundreds of blue light balls appear above their heads.
At the same time as the blue light appeared, they actually saw hundreds of red fireballs.
An attack of this scale can at least wipe out a small portion of their air force. If this continues, they will have no air force at all in less than three rounds. As the blue light and red fireballs streaked across the sky, Johnson, Bruno and other city lords all felt a chill in their hearts.
It's over! This was the only thought that Johnson and the other city lords had at this moment.
.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Boom ! Boom! Boom! Under the gaze of Johnson and others, the light balls flew rapidly, and when all the blue and red light balls finally hit the target, huge sparks exploded in the air.
"Bartman, you bastard...Huh? Why are you fighting against the indigenous air knights?"
Just when Johnson and others were about to scold Batman to vent their anger, they were suddenly surprised to find that when the flames dissipated, the air knights on their side were actually intact, and there was not as much loss as they had previously expected.
Instead, there were seventy or eighty indigenous air knights who were swaying in the air, with black smoke constantly coming out of their bodies and falling towards the ground.
Bang, bang, bang! After a few steps, the ground around them began to make dull sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
“This…what’s going on?”
At this moment, Johnson and others were really confused. They couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Would that old guy Batman be so kind?"
Johnson looked at Edward, Bruno and others in disbelief.
"Look, there seems to be a griffin rider among those swift dragon birds! What's going on?"
Bruno had very sharp eyes and immediately spotted several griffin knights mixed in with the swift dragon birds.
"Yes, it really is Duke Edward's Griffin Knight!"
"I understand. Those swift dragon birds are definitely not from the Golden Shield Family!"
"If it's not from the Golden Shield Family? Whose family could it be? It seems that the only family in the entire Holy Continent that can own so many Swift Dragon Birds is the Golden Shield Family, right?"
"That's not necessarily true! I think it's very likely related to Gervis!"
"Gervis?"
"Yes, it should be Lord Gervis! Although I don't know how he did it, I think only Gervis's magic potion can do this!"
"During our last meeting, I heard Master Weldon say that he was very honored to follow Gervis, and that Gervis's potion seemed to be able to control even low-level monsters! He relied on that potion to walk out of the Death Swamp without any damage."
"That's really possible! I was wondering how could that old guy Batman be so similar!"
At this moment, all the city lords had guessed that the griffins from the Sky City that came to the Land of God's Fall had already joined the battle, and only those ten griffins went to look for the trace of Gervis.
Now these ten griffins returned with the flock of swift dragon birds, and immediately began to attack the indigenous air knights. There was only one possibility, and everyone felt that the possibility of this happening to Gervis was very high.
…
"Target, enemy flying monster, fireball, attack!"
Gervis had no idea how much fear his appearance had brought to Johnson and the others below. After the first wave of attacks was successful, he continued to order attacks.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Following Gervis's command, the slave soldiers quickly began to chant spells, and immediately hundreds of fireballs were fired forward again.
Roar, roar, roar! In addition to the fireballs of the slave soldiers, there were also the blue balls of light fired by the Swift Dragon Bird.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Boom, boom! The natives who were fighting hard had no chance to dodge at all, because they were already tightly entangled by the griffin knights.
Therefore, the second wave of attack by Gervis and his men almost never missed a target. They all hit their respective targets and instantly took away more than 80 indigenous air knights.
Next, there was no suspense in the battle in the air because of Gervis's strong participation. The indigenous team that originally had four or five hundred birds was instantly at a disadvantage.
The morale of the griffin knights was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the advantage to start a fierce pursuit and attack. With the help of Gervis, they completely defeated the indigenous air knights in just three minutes. Only a dozen birds took advantage of the chaos to escape the battlefield and fled into the distance.
…
"Everyone, refill your magic potions immediately!"
When the native air knights were extinguished, Gervis immediately ordered the slave soldiers to replenish their magic power.
They released a total of four rounds of fireballs in this wave, but in the last two rounds, the number of fireballs had actually begun to decrease, and many slave soldiers were unable to release fireballs due to insufficient magic power.
Following Gervis' order, the slave soldiers took out recovery potions from their combat vests without hesitation.
As the potion was taken, the slave soldiers' magic power began to recover rapidly.
They were already at the stage of trainee magicians, and even the most common recovery potions had extraordinary effects on them.
After hovering in the air for about two minutes, Gervis had almost seen the situation of the battle below.
The descendants of the gods' servants and the indigenous sea tribes wanted to swallow up Edward's large army outside the city, while Edward and others wanted to open up the sea tribe's passage to allow the large army to enter the city.
At this time, less than 70% of the large army outside the city were able to fight, and 30% of the soldiers had been protected in the middle by their teammates and had no combat effectiveness.
"Long Yi! Has your magic power recovered?"
Gervis closed the distance between himself and Long Yi and the others and asked him.
"Master, my magic power has been fully restored!"
Long Yi answered respectfully!
"Very good, everyone listen to my orders, now prepare to attack the sea creatures on the ground below!"
Gervis waved his hand, and then all the swift dragon birds swooped down from a height of 500 meters.
"Target the sea creatures, fireball, attack!"
When the velociraptor flew to a height of seventy or eighty meters, Gervis immediately gave the order to attack.
As the order was given, the slave soldiers began to chant the spell again, and at the same time, a blue light ball spit out from the mouth of the Swift Dragon Bird.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In an instant, more than two hundred blue and red light balls slid down from the sky and smashed into the sea creatures below like meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Ah! Ah! Ah! Compared to the 20,000 sea tribe natives, the number of attacks from Gervis and his hundred men was not large, but their attacks were too concentrated, and they came from above.
The natives of the sea tribe had no way to defend themselves and were hit directly, with a large number of them being blown down in an instant.
"Alright! Haha! Kill these trash!"
Johnson and others were fighting with the indigenous warriors at this time, but they were also keeping an eye on the actions of Gervis and others. When they saw the indigenous air knights being wiped out, they were very happy.
Now seeing Gervis and others attacking the natives on the ground, and killing a large number of them at a time, he immediately laughed out loud.
"By the way, those red balls of light seem to be fireballs, right? Why does Gervis have so many magicians?"
"Could it be that Gervis has abducted all the fire magicians from the Alliance Academy?"
"How is that possible? It takes at least a month to go from the Sacred Forest to the City of Hope and back!"
"Then there is only one possibility, the magic potion. Gervis actually spent so much money on it. There are hundreds of magic potions, worth millions of gold coins!"
"Hiss! I've decided that I must let my offspring learn how to prepare potions in the future!"
At this time, because the war situation had eased, the hearts of the city lords were finally relaxed a lot, and they finally paid attention to the hundreds of fireballs.
They were first surprised that Gervis had so many magicians, but the next moment they felt relieved when they thought of the magic potion. Of course, envy was inevitable!
"This kid will be much more powerful than us in the future!"
For example, Johnson's eyes were full of stars at this moment, and he wished he could have a son like this who could prepare magic potions.
"Okay, stop being envious! Now that Gervis has joined us, let's work harder to drive these fishmen back into the sea!"
Edward also smiled at this time, and began to urge Johnson and others to fight quickly.
…
Next, a series of explosions were heard outside the city of Shengke.
Since the natives had no air power, Gervis's hundreds of swift dragon birds and other air knights from the holy city became the hands of God. They could attack wherever they wanted. Whenever they launched an attack, a large number of natives would fall.
As time passed, more than half an hour later, the natives of the sea tribe could no longer bear the losses and they swarmed back to the coast.
They only came ashore to help for profit reasons. It's okay to fight a favorable battle, but now it's a one-sided massacre. If they don't run away, they will all die here.
After all, they had no means to defend or counterattack against the aerial knights above their heads. When the sea natives began to collapse, the descendants of the gods' servants over there finally panicked. The descendants of the gods' servants in front were still fighting with the army of the Holy City, but many soldiers in the rear began to evacuate quickly.
At this time, the descendants of God's servants were less than 40,000.
Even with the help of the sea clan and the advantage of terrain over the past two days, they still suffered the loss of more than 10,000 people.
If they don't retreat now, they will never be able to retreat again.
Obviously, the chief priest who is the descendant of God's servants also knows this, so he plans to make drastic measures, leaving some troops behind to cover the retreat, while the rest retreat to preserve their strength!
"Are you so decisive as to start retreating?"
Gervis and others were flying in the air and had the clearest view of the developments on the battlefield. When the descendants of God's servants began to retreat, he immediately noticed it.
Edward and the others were certainly unaware of this situation, so Gervis immediately stopped Long Yi and the others who were chasing the sea tribe and gave them orders.
"Long Yi, now take everyone to attack those descendants of God's servants freely!"
"Yes! Master!"
Long Yi and others immediately took the order and flew towards the army of gods' servants that were evacuating in the distance.
After Long Yi and others left, Gervis immediately descended and flew towards Edward and others.
"Lord Gervis! Haha! We really have to thank you this time, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses. You are simply a savior!"
As soon as Gervis landed, Johnson and other city lords surrounded him in amazement, staring at him.
"Haha! I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"
Gervis was also amused by Johnson's words. He immediately smiled and got off the Swift Dragon and came in front of everyone.
“This is God’s favor!”
"By the way, Lord Gervis, how come you have so many swift dragon birds? And are the knights on those swift dragon birds magicians?"
Johnson's face was full of smiles, and he turned his gaze to the velociraptor, his face full of curiosity.
In fact, apart from him, other city lords are also full of curiosity and are also waiting for Gervis' answer.
"Duke Johnson, let's talk about this later. I have something more important to say now!"
Gervis did not answer, but waved his hand to everyone, indicating that he had more important things to do. He then said directly to Edward who was walking over from a distance: "Duke Edward, the large army of descendants of the servants of God are evacuating. Do you want to catch up with them?"
"They actually retreated? We must chase them. They have schemed against us so hard this time, so we must catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, catch them all in one fell swoop! This is a good opportunity!"
Before Edward could speak, Johnson and others spoke up immediately after hearing what Gervis said, and looked at Edward at the same time.
"Then let's give chase!"
Edward was also furious this time. There were more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the Sky City here, and they were almost wiped out by these natives. Now he naturally wanted to wipe out these natives in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble once and for all.
"In that case, Duke Edward, I will support you in the air!"
"Okay, Gervis!"
At that moment, Gervis rode on the Swift Dragon Bird again and chased after Long Yi and the others.
Edward and others on the ground also led all the teams to charge towards the army in front.
Although 30% of the soldiers in the front had exhausted their fighting spirit, with the addition of Edward and other fresh troops, they defeated the descendants of the gods' servants who stayed behind to stop their pursuit in just a few minutes.
After defeating these blocking servants of God, Edward and others reorganized their army without any pause and quickly began to pursue the fleeing army of servants of God.
There were a total of about 30,000 servants of God who fled. Although they left more than ten minutes earlier, their escape speed was greatly reduced because of the swift dragon birds causing trouble in the air.
Less than half an hour later, Edward and others finally caught up with the fleeing army of God's servants.
From then on, the 30,000-strong army of God's servants had nowhere to escape. They were chased for hundreds of miles, leaving more than 20,000 people behind. Today's battle was finally over.
In the end, according to what Gervis observed, only more than 3,000 natives escaped.
These more than 3,000 people fled to the bases of other descendants of God's servants, and only then did they escape disaster.
However, this result was a great victory for Edward and his men, as it completely eradicated the roots of this branch of God's servants' descendants.
After all, the last few cities of the descendants of the servants of God were completely swallowed up by the army of the Holy City at this moment, and the army of the descendants of the servants of God, which was less than 3,000 in number, could no longer cause any major waves.
In this land where gods fell, not all descendants of gods' servants live in peace with each other.
They each worship different gods, and often fight for cities and territories.
Therefore, without his own base and his own group of God's servants and common people, there is no possibility of making a comeback.
…
After the war, Gervis flew directly back to Saint Coe City, but Edward and others still had many things to arrange, such as taking over several cities that had just been acquired.
For example, arranging the next front-line defense and guarding against attacks from other descendants of God's servants.
So Gervis waited until noon of the next day, when Edward, Johnson and others returned from the front line.
