Stedt had brought the Gryphon Legion with him.
They came on the dark clouds of snow, lined up neatly, wearing armor blessed by the gods. Their longswords were bright and sharp, and every one of them shone brightly.
"Attack!"
Stedt Feldlett waved his sword.
As a large magical beast that was friendly to humans, the Gryphons were born with an iron will. They were not afraid of Kahn's demonic dragon aura. Even if they were carrying a rider, they could still fight. They roared and swooped down.
It was a golden torrent that fell from the sky. The Foxwolfmen who tried to resist fell to the ground, their bodies torn apart by the sharp fangs. Gnawing and swooping were the Gryphons' main means of fighting, especially when dealing with small monsters.
The soldiers of the Norton Kingdom and Sosil Kingdom, who were originally prepared to die, saw the arrival of strong reinforcements at this moment. They could not help but reignite their hope and excitedly threw themselves into the battle.
The situation of the battle was immediately reversed. The army of monsters was originally prepared to push the defenders into the Mossen River, but now they were attacked from both sides. They were attacked from the front and back, and they were caught in the crossfire of the allied army.
"Annoying flies!"
Kahn turned back and roared at the Gryphons that kept swooping down. He could not help but admire the human commander. His calculations were very thorough. He even considered using a river to block the retreat. The soldiers of the Norton Kingdom could not cross the river, and neither could the Foxwolfmen and Battle Lizardmen.
"Master …"
The leader of the Foxwolfmen came to his side. "It will be dangerous if this goes on. Be careful not to be annihilated."
"Everyone, gather around me!"
Kahn ordered slowly.
He did not explain. A true dragon did not need to explain to his subordinates and servants. He could spread his wings and retreat, but he would not do so.
Kahn looked up at the sky and grinned. He licked his fangs one by one. He would rather lead the army to fight to the death than run away alone.
If he were to escape this time, he would never be able to face his father again. He would never be able to face the Black Emperor who had just bestowed him with power. He would also never be able to fight for the inheritance rights of the Black Wing Empire from Odín.
Kahn knew that no matter what he did, whether it was robbing gold and silver, killing disobedient slaves, wiping out rebellious forces, taking control of a town, it was just a small matter in the eyes of the Black Emperor. Only if he won the battle before Odín and conquered the land of Hejian County would the Black Emperor take him seriously.
Kahn couldn't back down. This was his chance to prove himself, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
He shifted his gaze from the sky to his surroundings. Thousands of monsters had shaken off their opponents and were shrieking as they gathered here and regrouped.
"Take your subordinates and stop the people of the Norton Kingdom."
He said to the Fox Wolf leader, then turned his head and ordered, "Battle Lizardmen, follow behind me. Take your weapons!"
The Battle Lizardmen immediately moved. They separated from the newly reorganized troops and gathered behind Kahn in a tighter formation. They faced the Gryphon Legion and lined up their spears in a row.
This was the importance of a commander. With the Norton Kingdom's general killed, even if there was a replacement, they would not be able to quickly control the entire army. Even if Kahn's army was in danger, they would not be able to put too much pressure on him. The main offensive had to be carried by the Gryphon Legion.
On the other side, the monsters were quickly reorganized under Kahn's orders and regrouped into an effective fighting force.
"Tear them apart!"
The Black Death God roared and charged forward with all four limbs.
Tens of thousands of Battle Lizardmen charged with him. With the Battle Lizardmen blocking the Norton Kingdom's infantrymen behind them, they no longer had to face the Gryphon Legion.
At this moment, all the plans were laid bare. All that was left was a battle of pure strength. This was the final battle of the River Plain.
The roar of the dragon reverberated throughout the battlefield. After a few attacks, the Gryphons were entangled and mixed with the monsters.
At this point in the battle, the Battle Lizardmen still had energy to spare. The more injured they were, the fiercer they became. Under Kahn's leadership, they fought desperately with the Gryphon Legion. The casualties on both sides were increasing rapidly. None of the soldiers on the frontline could survive more than ten minutes. One Gryphon after another fell under the spears of the Battle Lizardmen, and wave after wave of Battle Lizardmen took over the battlefield.
Stedt watched from behind the formation and stared at the blood-soaked dragon.
This battle had been going on for too long, and he was worried. He did not expect the monsters to be so tenacious. They could still maintain their fighting strength despite being attacked from both sides. However, based on the current situation, the Gryphon Legion would win sooner or later. Even if the dragon did its best, it would only cause him to lose a few more soldiers.
However, the Tangerine Family did not have many dragons, and Kahn was a member of the Blackwing Empire's royal family. Would the monsters be willing to let the dragon die here?
He suddenly trembled as he heard a strange roar coming from the back of the Gryphon Legion.
"Did those trash let the barbarians break through?"
The thought flashed through Stedt's mind, but he immediately denied it. "No, if it were the barbarians, the Sun Knights would have reported it."
He looked up at the source of the sound.
Under the clouds, at the end of his line of sight, huge wings flapped the wind and snow. Hundreds of dragons approached with suppressed roars. The battle cries suddenly weakened. The soldiers and monsters could not help but look to the west to see the dragons.
"Metal dragons?"
Stedt smelled something unfamiliar and frowned deeply. He remembered that the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut had sent down an oracle, ordering the metal dragons not to be involved in this battle and to migrate to other dimensions to seek refuge. How could Airadia still have metal dragons left?
As the distance closed, Stedt gradually saw the appearance of the dragons. They were not metal dragons, but a group of repulsive radiation dragons. Their bodies were full of mutated muscles and pus, but strangely, they exuded the noble aura of the metal dragons.
These dragons of unknown origins quickly joined the battlefield. They were different from ordinary radiation dragons as they did not engage in close combat. Instead, they fought using spells like the gold and silver dragons. They bombarded the Gryphon Legion from afar, advancing and slaughtering like a group of spellcasters.
Stedt could not stop them.
"Lord Kahn, we are here to help you end this battle."
The new dragon leader landed beside Kahn.
Kahn bit the Gryphon into several pieces. Fur and blood spurted out of his mouth. He glanced at it and said, "I don't remember you being one of the leaders of the radiation dragons. Who are you?"
"We are dragons hatched by Her Highness Odín using the oracle of wishes. We are not in the list of the radiation dragons."
The dragon leader shook its head and bowed slightly. "Her Highness Odín ordered us to protect you. You can call me Vivian."
"Odín?"
Kahn frowned deeply. "She is trapped in the central battlefield. She can't even take care of herself and is suppressed by the Daybreak Legion. How can she send troops to Hejian County to intervene here? She is crazy."
Vivian was silent for a while. Her voice was very soft. "Her Highness Odín said that Kahn is her brother."
Kahn was stunned. He had stayed in Vilost for a long time. His impression of Odín had long been blurred. He could only hear bits and pieces about the "Lord of Twilight" from other people. At this time, he suddenly remembered something. Probably not long after he was born, Garen and Bulonia invited Odín to Vilost to play. At that time, he still did not understand the blood relationship between himself and Odín. He was only interested in the gift his father gave to Odín.
He immediately pounced and wanted to snatch the thing in Odín's hand. Then, he was sent flying by a radiation dragon that appeared out of nowhere. The slaves in charge of serving him immediately surrounded him and said that it was Princess Odín's thing and that he could not touch it. Kahn shouted at the slaves and spat out weak acid. Odín was probably very young at that time. He did not know what to do under the protection of a large group of radiation dragons. He could only look at him with his eyes wide open.
That incident caused Bulonia to be furious. He was severely punished because of it. For some reason, Odín did not bring the gift when he left.
