Chapter 941: Chapter 336: Aerial Combat (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

The griffin’s flying speed was exceedingly fast, and within half a minute, both sides were engaged in battle.

Compared to the corrupt giant dragon’s massive body, several dozens of meters long, the twenty-four initially mighty Griffin Knights now seemed like a flock of sparrows assaulting a gigantic eagle.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Only to see the well-trained Griffin Knights maneuvering griffins swiftly to dodge the corrupt giant dragon’s claws and wing attacks, moving as swiftly as the wind, while heavily hurling the sharp short spears toward the corrupt giant dragon.

“Puff!”

Many short spears pierced into the skin of the corrupt giant dragon, immediately bringing joy to the faces of many Griffin Knights.

“Captain, its defense isn’t strong!” exclaimed a Griffin Knight, overjoyed.

This situation was much better than they anticipated, because under normal dragon scales’ defense, their throwing spears couldn’t even penetrate the dragon scale defense.

But in the next second, a sudden change occurred!

“Careful!”

It seemed that being pricked by these annoying ‘flies’, the corrupt giant dragon took a deep breath, followed by a ferocious 180-degree frontal breath attack!

A massive, high-pressure, hose-like intense yellow-green breath instantly hit three Griffin Knights who couldn’t dodge in time.

In the astonished eyes of others.

They witnessed the three Griffin Knights, along with their griffins, quickly grow hair, decay, and get covered in multicolored mushrooms within a few seconds, lose balance, and plummet from high altitude!

One breath annihilated three elite Griffin Knights.

This scene drastically changed the faces of Admiral Edward and others on the small airship behind.

One must know that the Empire consumes gold as tall as a person to possibly train a qualified Griffin Knight.

Every Griffin Knight’s loss is a significant loss to the Empire, yet three Griffin Knights were lost in less than half a minute of battle, making the ensuing battle difficult.

“Damn, what are those Federation people doing, just watching?” Duke of Minter couldn’t help but curse.

“This battle is happening within the empire territory, and we have no way to interfere when the other side acts.” Victor said with an unpleasant expression.

Rein pondered and intended to speak to Admiral Edward, suggesting that he might try.

Suddenly, the Federation’s giant gunboat began to take action at this moment.

…

Approximately two kilometers behind the air battle scene.

Inside the captain’s cabin of the Lancelot-class giant gunboat of the Federation.

A group of Federation officers was carefully observing the imperial Griffin Knights’ attack on the corrupt giant dragon.

“Remarkable maneuvering skills, each seems to be at the level of a Great Knight, coordinating very well with the griffins.”

“Indeed, worthy of the Dragon Empire’s top elite troops.”

“However… training such Griffin Knights is probably extremely difficult, how many can the entire Dragon Empire have?”

“The two teams of Griffin Knights before our eyes should constitute most of the Griffin Knights in this Mingster Province. Oh, right, this includes the team escorting us. So, at most, a province would have about twenty Griffin Knights.”

“Very elite, but unfortunately, too few in number.”

“The Empire’s training strategy cannot cope with subsequent combat attrition.”

The officers were commenting.

“Impressive breath force!” After witnessing the corrupt giant dragon’s breath, Federation officers’ faces changed.

“Such corrupting ability is too astonishing.”

Seeing this scene, Trena’s charming face grew grave, and she sidled over to the general beside her and said:

“Rear Admiral Ruize, the upcoming battle is in your hands.”

“Of course, Lady Trena, we should unfurl our wings and let the decadent Dragon Empire know about the Federation’s development in these years.” Rear Admiral Ruize slightly bowed with a smile, saying.

“Turn left rudder, port-side cannon ready!”

“All ship cannons, begin loading!”

“…”

Orders from the brass pipe were passed down level by level to the lower cabins.

The extremely massive gunboat suddenly shifted broadside in the air, causing Victor Duke and others on the nearby small airship to initially think the Federation was retreating.

But in the next second, they saw two rows of dozens of black holes suddenly appeared on the gunboat’s side, followed by several flashes of fire with a barrage-like sound arising.

“Boom boom!”

In an instant, five to six massive craters exploded on the corrupt giant dragon’s body surface, and yellow pus instantly shot out.

“Roar!!!”

The corrupt giant dragon immediately let out a tragic cry, and its attention shifted from the griffin knights around it to the ‘big guy’ not far away.

“The power is insufficient to eradicate the opponent, seems we have to use the secret weapon.” Rear Admiral Ruize squinted and said.

“Main gun ready!”

Only to see an extra large aperture opening on the middle side of the gunboat.

Looking into the elongated barrel through the aperture, one would see that a massive hexagram witch array was engraved at the gun’s base, and six Official Wizards were chanting spells according to the captain’s order.

With the sound of spells emerging, the hexagram abruptly surged with a vast energy, injecting into the gigantic cannon filled with various engravings.

In the next second!

“Boom!”

A sphere of light flashed like lightning, speeding toward the approaching corrupt giant dragon.

“Boom!”

Apparently sensing danger, the corrupt giant dragon slightly dodged, avoiding vital parts, but one of its meaty wings got blown with a large hole, causing it to rapidly fall.
