The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

To the east of Lionheart City, there are a large number of cities that have not been affected by the war.

Outside a city closest to Lionheart City, a large number of royal griffins were constantly taking off and landing.

One of the Eastern Empire's ace troops, the Royal Griffin Knights, is currently deployed at this location.

The Royal Order of the Griffin, with a total of 9 Royal Griffins and Royal Griffin Knights.

On average, for every Royal Griffin Knight, there are 9 Royal Griffins responsible for covering and killing.

It is not difficult to tame a royal griffin, but it is extremely difficult to train a royal griffin knight.

The griffin itself is heavy, and if it carries a knight, it will almost lose all its fighting ability.

Moreover, knights are unable to wear heavy armor, and their combat capabilities are inferior to those of ground knights, let alone dragon knights.

The Dragon Knight is extremely powerful both in anti-air and anti-ground combat, while the Griffin Knight has strong anti-ground damage due to its flying ability, and its anti-air damage is not even as good as the Tier 6 Royal Griffin.

However, dragon knights are not easy to train, but griffins are different.

It is easy to find a group of strong and healthy royal griffins by carefully selecting and breeding them from griffin eggs.

But even so, a 300-man Griffin Legion generally used for combat only had a standard configuration of Griffin Knights.

In this Royal Griffin Knights order, the ratio of Royal Griffin Knights to Griffins is an exaggerated 10 to 1.

Obviously, this is an ace force.

Even from the unit's number, we can tell that this was not originally the army of Duke Yuwen.

As an air force, the Royal Griffin Knights should have been the first to arrive at Lionheart City, just like Xu Lai did at the beginning.

But unfortunately, Duke Yuwen, who was already fighting the undead in the cemetery, did not want to provoke the devil.

So at the beginning, the Eastern Empire was not very positive about Lionheart City.

However, things were different after Xu Lai drove away the devil. The ministers of the Eastern Empire all felt that this was God's help for the Eastern Empire.

The empire was divided. The Eastern Empire had neither name nor parliament. It relied entirely on its strength to forcibly call itself the Eastern Empire.

Xu Lai had never been valued by the people of the Eastern Empire before, and the Eastern Empire's envoys were even more rude and were directly driven away by Xu Lai.

This behavior made the Eastern Empire even more hostile, and they wanted to find an excuse immediately to send troops to attack Xu Lai.

However, the pressure from the undead was too great, especially when the undead in the cemetery were fighting on two fronts.

No matter how mobile the Griffin Legion is, it is impossible for them to cross half of the empire and go to the grassland to cause trouble for Xu Lai.

What's more, although the Eastern Empire has a powerful Griffin Legion.

However, among these griffin legions, the most core ace Royal Griffin Legion is not in the hands of Grand Duke Yuwen Shaoguang.

The Supreme King Aled contracted all the griffins and moved them to the Eastern Empire, and naturally he also considered the issue of the Eastern Empire's self-reliance in terms of military power.

So, in the name of forming a royal legion, Alaid selected the best knights, archers, and the strongest griffins raised in the entire empire.

The Royal Knights have been stationed in the imperial capital, and the Royal Archers were given to the daughter of the 36th High King.

The Royal Griffin Corps, composed of the best Griffin Knights and the strongest Royal Griffins from the entire Eastern Empire, is led by the general most trusted by the High King.

If the High King were still alive, the hero named Rhea Edric would only obey the leadership of the High King.

But the inexplicable disappearance of the High King caused the entire empire to fall apart.

At this time, it would be extremely unwise for Rhea Edrick to go against the Yuwen family again.

After all, strictly speaking, most of the Royal Griffin Knights under his command were recruited from the Eastern Empire.

However, the two sides were not of one mind after all, especially Rhea, who had been instructed by the Supreme King to go to the Eastern Empire specifically to suppress the Yuwen family.

If it weren't for the threat of the undead, the Yuwen family and Rhea Edrick might have started a fight.

But even so, Rhea only obeyed orders and did not fight actively.

However, this time, Lionheart City was snatched away by Xu Lai, and the two sides reached a rare consensus.

Lionheart City is the foundation of the Edrick family, and Rhea is eager to return to Lionheart City.

The Eastern Empire also urgently needed a capital-level city, especially after the Northern Empire was established with the support of the temple.

You know, the Northern Empire somehow got rid of the threat of demons.

Without the threat of demons, the Northern Empire has rebuilt its country, and it is time to exaggerate its power on a large scale.

At that time, the Eastern Empire had not yet become a country, and even if it could defeat the undead, it would not be able to stop the annexation of the Northern Empire.

It is impossible to say that Yuwen Shaoguang has no ambition at all. If he had no ambition, there would be no Eastern Empire.

On the contrary, it is the group of united nobles in the Western Empire who are truly without ambition.

Especially when he learned that there were only Xu Lai's thousands of griffins and hundreds of angels in the entire Lionheart City, he felt even more itchy.

Yuwen Shaoguang knew best how powerful the griffins were. The only difficult ones were the angels.

Angels are top-level air forces. There is a huge level gap between the level 6 Royal Griffins and the angels.

Not to mention, Yuwen Shaoguang also received news that the angels under Xu Lai's command were at least rank 8 archangels.

Apart from the 8th level archangels, the largest number were actually the 9th level Seraphim, as well as more than a hundred strange angels that had never been seen before.

An ordinary griffin army would not even be able to break through the defense of this angel army.

Therefore, the only person Yuwen Shaoguang could rely on was Rhea Edrik.

The Edric family is a famous griffin family, particularly good at raising and commanding griffins.

Under the leadership of the Edrik family, the griffins and griffin knights will have stronger attack power, defense, and attack and movement speed.

Edrick's innate griffin can basically be seen as upgrading the griffin to a higher level.

As long as we capture this angel army, and with the support of someone inside Lionheart City, it would be easy to capture Lionheart City using the griffins' flying advantage.

Even if no one came to support them, Lionheart City was in such a state of disrepair that it was basically impossible to do any effective defense.
After taking Lionheart City, Yuwen Shaoguang can establish a real Eastern Empire.

"Captain, all supplies have been replenished and we are ready to set off at any time."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Rhea nodded lightly but did not issue any orders.

As they were about to fly out of the border of the Eastern Empire, the Royal Griffin Corps was making the final supplies in a city on the edge of the border.

Ruiya's silence made Yuwen Xin, the second son of the Yuwen family, quite dissatisfied.

When Yuwen Shaoguang asked Ruiya to bring his direct army to fight, he must have promised him huge benefits.

Under such circumstances, the Yuwen family naturally would not feel at ease, so they sent Yuwen Xin, who was not the heir, over.

"Your Excellency, the military situation is urgent. The army has been fully prepared. I wonder what you are waiting for?"

"Don't worry, Master Xin. When the scouts I sent out come back, we'll know what we're waiting for."

Yuwen Xin frowned and looked at Rhea in confusion.

Rhea did not keep the secret and explained:
"I have sent out a total of more than a dozen scouts. If there are no special circumstances near Lionheart City, they should be back within half an hour to report."

"How long have they been out?"

Rhea said: "About 40 minutes."

"In other words, they may have been discovered by the angels of Lionheart City?" Rhea shook her head and said, "I specifically told the scouts I sent out not to get too close to Lionheart City.

In addition, the scouts I sent out went in different directions.

Even if they were intercepted along the way, someone should have rushed back to report.

This situation can only prove one thing.”

"What?" Before Yuwen Xin could ask again, several griffin knights appeared on the horizon.

"Report to the Legion Commander, a large number of troops have been spotted in the south of Lionheart City, and are rapidly moving towards Lionheart City.

These legions, mainly composed of infantry and archers, had about 20 men.

Judging from the numbers, they should be the Royal Archer Regiment and the Southern Empire's Infantry Regiment."

As a member of the same royal legion, the Royal Griffin Knights will not mistake the number of the Royal Archers.

However, the Southern Empire has numerous waterways and is basically based on the development of infantry. There are a lot of infantry corps, so it is not surprising that they cannot be recognized.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who are eyeing Lionheart City.

Now we are in trouble. The archers of the Royal Archer Regiment are at least level 6, and are equipped with magic longbows on a large scale.

If it's just the Infantry Corps, we can easily bully them, but if we bring the Royal Archers, we may not be their match."

Yuwen Xin stroked the space ring on his hand and said:

"If His Majesty Alaid had not disappeared, Earl Jasmine would have a good chance of inheriting the position of the High King."

Rhea shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say, her two sons both have different surnames.

Otherwise, His Majesty Alaid wouldn't have to train his nephews."

As they were talking, several Royal Griffin Knights appeared in the northern sky.

"Report to the Legion Commander, a large number of Northern Empire troops have been spotted in the north.

There are about 3 knights, no infantry, no archers, no air units and no siege weapons. "

Rhea sighed and said, "What are their movements?"

The Griffin Knight said, "It is heading towards Lionheart City, but not very fast."

"Why are they rushing over if they're not going fast? Do they want to take advantage of us by following behind?" Rhea frowned.

Yuwen Xin also said: "I was just trying to persuade you to let the Southern Empire's army fight Xu Lai first, and we will wait and see from behind."

Rhea didn't dare to let the royal griffins fly over Lionheart City, and it would be too far to take a detour, so he only deployed scouts in the north and south directions.

Now that all the scouts have returned to the team, Rhea is even more unsure whether to take any action.

"Since we're out now, let's go take a look first."

Rhea still wanted to take back Lionheart City, whether for the benefits promised by Yuwen Shaoguang or for her own family.

The news he received from his family was that Xu Lai, the descending hero, was not very friendly to them, the traditional nobles.

"Shall we go to Lionheart City first?" Yuwen Xin asked.

"Of course not. If we go to Lionheart City at this time, wouldn't it be clear that others would take advantage of us? Let's go south first.

If the guy named Xu discovers the Southern Empire’s army, we’ll just sit back and watch the show.

If they don’t find it, then we’ll help them.”

“But as soon as we show up, Xu will definitely know that we are also planning to take over Lionheart City.

Will he fight with the Southern Empire again?
Besides, if we bring a large army with us, what should we do if the people from the Northern Empire take advantage of us?"

“Haha, we are all from the flying unit, so we won’t get close.

After that guy named Xu finds us, the worst that can happen is that he just leaves first.

The guy named Xu can't fly either. Does he dare to let go and let the angels chase us?

Even if he dared, without the angel, how could he defend Lionheart City?

But I heard that he did not obtain the castle heart of Lionheart City. Once he abandons the city, it will become someone else's.

As for the Northern Empire, I guess they don't want to go to war with the Xu family.

Bringing a group of knights over there doesn't look like they are going to attack the city."

Yuwen Xin nodded and said, "Then let's go south first."

After the plan was ready, Rhea Edric waved his hand, and large groups of royal griffins, led by the griffin knights, took off quickly.

One hundred thousand griffins would form a huge black mass even if they landed on the ground, and would look like a huge golden cloud if they flew into the sky.

It is still far away from Lionheart City now, so perhaps others haven’t noticed it yet.

But if we fly for another ten minutes and get within a hundred kilometers of Lionheart City, it will be impossible for others not to notice us.

But Rhea didn't care, because they were a flying unit, and even a strong army like the Angel Legion would not dare to break away from the heroes to hunt them down.

The speed of the Royal Griffin Legion was not very fast, and they were not heading towards Lionheart City.

Rhea and his men deliberately headed south at the slowest speed, hoping to use themselves as bait to attract Xu Lai's attention to the Southern Empire army.

Secondly, it was to buy time for both of them and to conserve their own strength in case they were needed to join the battle.

As they were flying slowly towards Nani Port, the Royal Griffin Knight who was in charge of reconnaissance in the front came back to report.

"Xu Lai and the Southern Empire's army have already started fighting?
How many angels did Xu send out? What? None? "

The scout's report made Rhea frown.

Rhea attached great importance to reconnaissance work, so the scouts in the Royal Griffin Regiment were the most elite and were trained by him personally.

However, it was this group of elite scouts that he personally trained who told him that Xu Lai did not send out any angels, but instead sent out an army of more than 100,000 knights.

If these people had not said the same thing, Rhea really wanted to ask them whether they knew how terrifying an army of more than 100,000 knights was.

“Commander, how dare we report false news?

When we arrived, the Eagle Kingdom's knights had already raised their flags. If you go over now, you might just be able to see them fighting."

Upon hearing this, Rhea did not dare to delay and immediately ordered to speed up.

However, when he arrived near the battlefield, he was still a step too late.

Not only was the battle over, the Eagle Kingdom hadn't put in any effort yet.

Anyway, on the battlefield littered with corpses, there were almost no bodies from the Eagle Kingdom to be seen, and all that could be seen were the fallen flags and armor of the Southern Empire.

Without a large number of heavily armored spearmen, Rhea racked his brains but could not figure out how to rely on a group of infantry and archers to resist the cavalry charge.

The people of the Southern Empire couldn't imagine it, so after the knights charged, some died and some surrendered.

"Let's go. With so many cavalry and archers on the side, we can't take Lionheart City."

Just as Rhea Edrick finished speaking, he heard a voice from above his head:
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" (End of this chapter)
