Almost all the griffins let out sharp screeches when the heat wave from the fire hit them head-on. Even though they were the strongest in the sky, griffins were still instinctively afraid of fire.
No, it should be said that this was the instinct of most creatures.
"Fly to the west!" The leader of the Wildhammer Dwarves, Kudran, quickly made a hand signal.
Only about half of the Griffin Knights reacted and flew sideways with Kudran. A considerable number of griffins had to hover or fly back to find a way out.
When Duque flew to the west where the air was slightly fresher, he pulled the reins of the griffins and let them hover gently, giving him and Aurelia enough time and space to watch the terrible disaster in front of them.
It was different from when Duque burned down the Elven Forest. At that time, the Elven Forest was completely occupied by the enemy. And humans did not have as many thoughts as the elves.
But now it was different. When Duque squinted his eyes to reduce the strong light entering his eyes, Aurelia unconsciously tightened her grip on Duque.
It was a strength that was far above that of Duque's.
The strength of her arm was so strong that it felt like it could squeeze Duque's internal organs out.
"Quick, stop this fire!" She shouted as if she had gone crazy and shook Duque's body forcefully, "Duque, aren't you omnipotent? Hurry up and stop this damn fire!!! "
"I can't do anything." Duque really wanted to say that.
He was not a Druid, nor was he the Virgin Mary, nor was he a savior. He was just a mage who was more good at destruction than creation. But listening to the mournful trembling in Aurelia's voice, Duque only felt that his heart was also broken.
The giant dragons were like playing bats, hovering low in the sky in front of them. Wherever they passed, there was a raging fire spreading.
Perhaps these red dragons were unwilling to listen to the orcs' control at first, but as time passed, it was clear that some of the red dragons also accepted this identity. Under the orcs' guidance, they released the tyranny in their hearts.
In his field of vision, half of Cuel Salas was burning.
The flames and smoke were like a cage of destruction, tightly enveloping the home of the high elves. Like the god of death, the flames spread from the foot of the mountain to the foot of the other mountain. It turned the places it touched into the fiercest red flames, and behind it, a remnant of darkness that was left after the flames had been completely burned.
Duque was sure that even Silverymoon City could see the fire.
This was revenge!
This was Orgrim's revenge!
Just like how he burned the Elven Forest and left the Horde behind. Now, Orgrim was using the same method to pay back what Duke had done to the Horde. Duke's perfect strategy was now filled with pain and regret.
At this moment, at this moment, it was Aurelia who was begging him.
"Duque, I'm sorry. I don't want to force you, but I'm just a ranger. I can't deal with this fire." Aurelia leaned her head on Duque's shoulder, and Duque saw tears flowing down her cheeks from the corner of his eye. "But I have to stop it! Because the forest of Cuel Salas is my home … "
Duque could not refuse.
"I'll try my best …" After saying this, Duque blew a small horn, the signal he had agreed with Kudran.
Kudran raised his warhammer high and roared: "Little ones! Put down our guests. We'll take care of those big lizards! Tell them who's the master of the sky! "
"Oh —" The Gryphon Riders had their Gryphons slow down and fly low. Then, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they had the agile Rangers jump onto the treetops of the various trees. Finally, they formed into a formation and began to charge forward.
Even though they knew that this would be accompanied by sacrifices …
Duque directly jumped down, because he saw a river a few hundred meters away from the front of the fire. The river was about five meters wide, and the water was quite turbulent.
The system genie appeared, "Host, I have to warn you that what you're doing is meaningless. The chance of you completely extinguishing this fire is 0.00001%. "
"There are some things that don't have to be done for sure." Duke replied in a deep voice: "Sometimes, people will do things that have no real meaning, just to make themselves feel better."
"I'm sorry, host, I don't understand what you're saying."
Duque did not continue to answer. He directly cast a spell.
After a short acceleration, the three magic circuits in his body operated to the extreme.
Sky Mages could absorb elemental energy from the entire sky to strengthen their own magic. Morning Stars could use this as a foundation to produce magic on a small scale.
Because of the high temperature, the river had already begun to boil. The temperature of the fire was too high, and simply pouring water on it would instantly evaporate.
What Duque did was not simply use water to extinguish the fire. Instead, he first extracted the fire elemental energy from the entire area.
Absorb, absorb, and absorb again.
Compress, compress, and compress again!
Then, a huge fireball that had never been seen before emerged from Duque's palm like a mushroom cloud. The huge fireball was launched into the sky, and after rising more than two hundred meters, it began to quickly dissipate because there was nothing left to burn.
After extracting the fire elemental energy, the temperature of the air within a radius of several hundred meters in front of Duque plummeted, and some areas even had frost covering the ground, which was out of season.
"Duque! Good job! "On the griffin, Aurelia unskillfully controlled Duque's griffin.
But very soon, whether it was her, her sisters, or even the Ranger she brought, they all began to fall silent.
Duque was very powerful. By running at high speed and extracting the power of the fire elemental energy in a large area, and then replacing it with water elemental energy, he successfully contained a large area of forest from fire.
However, his power alone was still too insignificant.
So what if he prevented a two-or three-kilometer area from being burned? In just a short ten minutes, the fire had already spread for hundreds of kilometers. If it wasn't for the Wildhammer Dwarves' griffin riders in the distance, the area of the fire would have been even larger and more terrifying.
In the distance, the winner of the massive battle that erupted in mid-air was quickly determined.
In terms of aerial combat, the Griffin, which was only above average, was at an absolute disadvantage against the Red Dragon, which was the tyrant in the sky.
The Wildhammer Dwarves used absolute numbers to make up for their lack of individual quality.
According to what Duque said, the Red Dragons would run away on their own after dealing with the Orc riders. It was obvious that the tribe had used some kind of threat or method to force the Red Dragons. Now, even if the riders behind the Red Dragons died, they would still choose to continue fighting until they received the order to retreat.
Kudran had no choice but to give the order to kill these Red Dragons as well.
After being continuously hit by the Storm Warhammer, the Red Dragons finally could not hold on any longer. They howled and fell from mid-air, their bodies covered in wounds.
The battle was over.
