Chapter 345: The Astonishing Gryphon Knights
"Retreat! Get away!" "Everyone, take cover!"
The thunderous roar echoed throughout the sky over the capital city. The spreading net of lightning was visible both inside and outside the city, instantly ensnaring hundreds of Gryphon Knights. Arcs of lightning, as thick as arms, continued to spread in all directions.
The Gryphon Knights circling various parts of the city were startled and flew up several thousand meters into the sky, not daring to linger even for a moment in the lower airspace.
Looking at the thunderous domain overhead and the tangible sense of oppression, the wizards present felt their hair stand on end.
They hadn't anticipated that Lord Lynn would have such an ace up their sleeve...
Sanchez, who had spoken hastily earlier, was now too embarrassed to say a word. He had claimed moments before that their magic wouldn't have much effect, yet Lord Lynn's web of lightning had brought all those Gryphon Knights crashing down.
Truly a star of magic... Sanchez couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Lord Lynn's understanding and creativity in magic were unmatched. Their ability to adapt on the spot was simply extraordinary.
No wonder Lord Lynn seemed utterly unperturbed facing these Gryphon Knight assaults.
"Go capture some individuals; there must be survivors. Also, put out the fires. They won't dare come back in the short term!" Lord Lynn instructed casually, lowering their hand.
Glenn and the others who received the command nodded. Fifty official wizards were immediately assigned, leading over a thousand riflemen to extinguish fires and apprehend prisoners.
With the aerial threat temporarily lifted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Headmaster, if this thunder magic is so powerful, why didn't we strike them all down when those Gryphon Knights were gathered?" Elok asked regretfully.
"The power of lightning disperses. These Gryphon Knights aren't easy to deal with; they have high magic resistance. Even a third-tier magic requires a direct hit to pose a significant threat..." Lord Lynn explained simply.
There was another factor they didn't explain: the seemingly straightforward spell from earlier actually required substantial data support to construct a sufficiently large electromagnetic field encompassing all the enemies in the sky.
The Gryphon Knights had been provocatively probing their spell range while flying in the sky, inadvertently revealing their flight and evasion data, all of which had been recorded in the brain's database.
Lord Lynn had been waiting for these Gryphon Knights to believe they were already in a safe zone, gradually relaxing their vigilance, before dealing a heavy blow.
Although this victory was abundant, Lord Lynn didn't underestimate this elite force of the Holy Church; instead, they raised their threat rating by a notch.
In his view, after several rounds of attrition, those wizards had also exhausted a fair amount of magic; now was the time for a full-scale assault!
"Now, relay my command: retreat!" Edweil's tone grew more severe.
"As for Anluke, with that thunder magic, he won't be killed..."
Edweil was certain. Lord Lynn's released spell was indeed formidable, but the power had been dispersed across the entire airspace and within the bodies of over a hundred Gryphon Knights. It was impossible to kill Alno, the Cardinal, who was a pivotal figure, and even injuring him would be challenging.
Since Alno hadn't caused much commotion within the city, it indicated that the opposition had their own plans...
Edweil's command left the group of cardinals dissatisfied. This was the first time they had suffered such a significant setback when facing the cultists of the dark god, and now they had to retreat in disgrace...
Some suspected that Edweil intended to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
After all, Alno was notorious for being unruly, often acting without orders...
But before they could voice their objections, a powerful surge of magic emanated from the city walls.
At this distance, what were they trying to do?
The bishops were perplexed. The distance from here to the city gate was approximately one and a half kilometers. Based on the recent test, this should exceed the cannon's range...
