In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 73 II: The Royal Griffin Legion

Night falls, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Under the hazy moonlight.

The once desolate and remote Blackrock City is now like a giant beast awakening from its slumber, beginning to operate at full capacity.

After receiving orders from the Empire.

Less than half a day.

Viscount Harrington, the lord of Blackrock City, urgently assembled an army of 200,000 elite troops!
Although Blackrock City, as a strategically important border town, is garrisoned by hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops year-round, such astonishing efficiency and speed still far exceeded many people's expectations.

Lu Yuan's spies were everywhere in the Kingdom of Brian, and they noticed the anomaly immediately.

"Is the Holy Light Empire about to get serious?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, even though he had long expected this day to come.

But when he actually faced the army of the Holy Light Empire, he still couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure.

The Holy Light Empire was already corrupt, and many nobles and high-ranking officials were indulging in sensual pleasures.

But it is undeniable.

This colossal structure has stood for two thousand years without collapsing.

When it roars, the entire magical world will tremble!

"Gather all Scourge warriors and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"The army of Blackrock City is nothing to fear; the Holy Light Empire is the real enemy!"

"I must win this battle, or I will be doomed!"

Lu Yuan has a long-term vision.

The Holy Light Empire has a profound foundation, and no matter how much those powerful figures cause trouble, it will remain powerful and strong.

But Lu Yuan had no chance to make a mistake.

If he fails even once, all his previous efforts will be wasted and he will lose everything!
Fortunately, after this period of expansion, the Scourge is no longer what it used to be.

Lu Yuan now commands over 60 million skeleton warriors, 300,000 headless knights, and tens of thousands of earth dragons and troll legions.
And twenty-three frost bone dragons and a calamity behemoth!
Even against the Holy Light Knights, they have the strength to fight!
When the first rays of dawn pierce the darkness.

"Boom!"

Warhorses galloped, the ground trembled, and dust billowed up.

One by one, Holy Knights clad in silver armor and wielding spears and shields appeared at the edge of the Bone Wasteland.

Although these knights number only around ten thousand, each one is an elite selected from all over the empire.

They were tall and imposing, with a solemn and sacred aura.

The golden morning sun shone on the surface of the silver armor, making them look radiant, like paladins who had stepped out of mythology!
This is the Holy Light Knights!

The Holy Light Empire's most powerful ground forces!
All Holy Knights are highly trained; they possess not only superb horsemanship but also exceptional skill in light magic.

Especially after experiencing the baptism of holy light.

Their flesh and blood bodies are even more terrifying than those of the naturally strong orcs, possessing astonishing defensive and regenerative abilities.

Furthermore, every Holy Knight has learned healing magic.

Even if someone is injured, they can recover quickly with the help of their comrades and then return to the battle.

Aside from not being able to fly, they have almost no weaknesses!
Klaus only had 10,000 Holy Knights under his command.

But when they form a battle formation and launch a simultaneous charge, they are enough to sweep away an ordinary army of a million men!
"Seeing is believing; the Holy Light Knights truly have the qualities to stand out from the crowd."

Lu Yuan thought to himself with emotion.

Back then, the Undead Amon, with only 300,000 Holy Knights, wiped out billions of Abyssal demons.

What a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene it would be if a million Holy Knights were deployed to the battlefield at the same time.
As an enemy of the Holy Light Empire.

Just imagining that scene sent chills down Lu Yuanguang's spine!

next second.

Accompanied by a piercing, soul-stirring cry, over three hundred robust and imposing royal griffins suddenly flapped their wings and appeared high above the Knights of Holy Light!
They have the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and their backs and several vital areas are covered with specially made armor.

In particular, the griffin riders riding on their backs have all undergone special training at the Holy Light Empire Magic Academy.

These griffin riders wield the power of storms and thunder, enabling them to unleash terrifying long-range attacks on enemies from high above.

Below the Royal Griffin Legion.

Two hundred thousand imperial troops are advancing silently.

These imperial soldiers were disciplined and moved in perfect unison, clearly another elite legion.

As they approached the Bone Wasteland, they suddenly split into two directions, flanking from the left and right.

It's easy to see if you look down from high above.

This imperial army was like an open pocket, forming a huge encirclement that surrounded the entire Bone Wasteland!
All the sentries, each carrying a shield, were positioned at the very front, forming the first line of defense.

Behind them were archers wielding heavy crossbows and musketeers carrying guns.

At the rear of the army, dozens of alchemical cannons were lined up, aiming at the direction of the Crimson Castle!

These alchemical turrets are weapons of war created by generations of imperial alchemists who poured countless efforts and energy into their creation.

Each alchemical turret is covered with intricate magical runes and circuits.

They have a unique aesthetic that blends retro and modern elements.

Although the alchemical turrets are very bulky, once they are loaded with shells, the terrifying destructive power they unleash will make all enemies regret opposing the Empire!
Holy Light Knights!
Royal Griffin Legion!

The Empire's elite army!

The three armies advanced side by side and soon approached the Scourge!
"Are they trying to wipe me out in one fell swoop?"

Lu Yuan sneered inwardly, guessing Klaus and the others' intentions.

have to say.

The Holy Light Empire's strength is indeed terrifying.

No wonder Klaus was so confident and dared to let the Scourge expand unchecked.

Faced with such a powerful elite legion, let alone a mere undead lord.

Even demons from the abyss will be slaughtered without leaving a trace!
But Klaus and the others never dreamed of this.

This time, the Holy Light Empire's opponent is not an ordinary undead lord.

Instead, they are a group of fearless, endless natural disasters!
Go fight!
Go and conquer!
Go kill!
No tactics needed! No strategy needed! No plans needed!
Just tear them apart with an endless army of skeletons!

With a thought, Lu Yuan issued an attack order to the Scourge Legion.

"Woo~"

As the bugle sounded.

All the Scourge skeletons roared to the sky, their blood-red soul fire suddenly surging in their eye sockets.

More than 300,000 headless horsemen launched the first charge.

Tens of millions of Scourge Skeletons followed closely behind, surging towards the Knights of Holy Light like a flood bursting its banks!

"Gulu!"

Faced with the endless waves of natural disasters, an indescribable sense of shock and oppression washed over us.

Even seasoned elite soldiers of the empire gripped their swords and spears tightly, swallowing nervously.

They are stationed in Blackrock City year-round and often use the skeletons and monsters of the Bone Wasteland for training.

But when they saw this wave of skulls, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

Because this army of skeletons was well-organized and disciplined.

Even when all the skeletons charge at the same time, they still maintain their formation.

It's as if there's an invisible hand controlling their actions from behind!
