Chapter 1380: Chapter 605: Countless Casualties! A Crushing Defeat!
“Order three hundred gryphon warriors to drop boulders from high altitude and destroy the enemy’s ballistae and secret throwing weapons!” said the Chief of the Silver Alliance.
Generally speaking, a large-scale aerial assault is indeed the most effective thod.
At this mont, a chieftain suddenly spoke, “Alliance Hierarch, the enemy’s ballistae can shoot very far. Will our gryphons be in danger?”
The Silver Alliance Leader sneered, “Have you seen how far their ballistae can shoot?”
“Over four hundred ters!” the chieftain replied.
The Silver Alliance Leader said, “That’s from a height advantage. If they’re shooting upwards, how far can they shoot? Moreover, those giant bows of the Fla Demon Tribe are stationed on the city walls, weighing a thousand pounds. Are you expecting these Near-Human mutts to shoulder them and shoot?”
The chieftain’s doubt was rcilessly rebuked!
However, what the Chief of the Silver Alliance did not know was that the Fla Demon Tribe had constructed a dozen secret towers, all aid at the skies.
Moreover, the anti-air ballistae were specially made, capable of shooting above three to four hundred ters in height.
Most frightening of all, these ballistae could freely aim and shoot over ten arrows at a ti, with three of such ballistae equipped on each tower.
…
Half an hour later!
At the order of the Silver Alliance Leader.
Three hundred knights, riding three hundred gryphon beasts, set out, each carrying a boulder, heading towards the Fla Demon Tribe.
The target was to destroy the Fla Demon Tribe’s ballistae and catapults!
A gryphon beast’s normal load should be around five hundred pounds, with a maximum load of about a thousand pounds.
The entire Fla Demon Tribe had only twenty gryphons, and based on the recent battlefield feedback, the unparalleled archer Lanling was not within the Fla Demon Tribe. Hence, these three hundred gryphons going on the offensive posed no risk.
To achieve the maximum attack effect, the Silver Alliance Leader brazenly ordered every gryphon beast to fly at maximum load, carrying not only a knight but also a nearly thousand-pound stone.
The strength of the gryphon beasts was indeed astonishing!
Despite the over-thousand-pound load, they could still take flight, albeit with difficulty and at a considerably slow pace.
To avoid aerial attacks from the Fla Demon Tribe, the three hundred gryphons ford a neat formation atop which the gryphon knights had their bows drawn with arrows notched. Should the Fla Demon Tribe’s gryphons dare to ascend, they would not escape the rain of arrows from the three hundred gryphon knights.
Thus, the three hundred gryphon beasts of the Silver Alliance flew in neat formation towards the Fla Demon Tribe.
Each gryphon beast was laden with a thousand-pound stone, flying at a speed of several tens of kiloters per hour.
Seeing this spectacle, Suo Mo was utterly dumbfounded!
Who exactly was their highest commander? An absolute fool, to use such a tactic.
For fear that the Fla Demon Tribe’s anti-air ballistae might miss, they had three hundred gryphons in neat formation and flying slowly.
This is akin to how Cao Cao linked all his warships with chains.
Unbeknownst to them, the Silver Alliance Leader did so only to maximize attack potential and to guard against the Fla Demon Tribe’s gryphon army, concentrating fire to prevent being picked off one by one!
Watching the neatly arranged, slow-flying gryphon legion.
From over a dozen high towers, more than fifty anti-air ballistae took aim again and again.
Their operators were itching to polish every arrow on the giant crossbows, as they anxiously awaited.
Waiting for the three hundred gryphon beasts to approach, to enter their range!
Eight hundred ters…
Five hundred ters…
Three hundred ters…
Two hundred ters…
The three hundred gryphon beasts entered the range of the anti-air ballistae!
“Fire!”
At the command, from the hidden towers, fifty massive anti-air ballistae shot out seven hundred giant arrows like a torrential rain!
