Compared to the one-sided battle in the palace, the battle in the sky had reached its climax. Apart from Kudran's initial ambush that successfully killed a group of Red Dragons, the rest were all bloody battles.
The sky was filled with Wildhammer Dwarf Gryphon Knights and Red Dragon Knights. A few human Gryphon Knights were only joining in the fray, surrounding and attacking the injured Red Dragons.
Overall, it was still disadvantageous for the Alliance.
It was mainly due to the individual differences.
Gryphons were strong, but that was only in the eyes of humans and Beastmen.
When facing the Red Dragons, the Gryphons were suppressed in almost every aspect — speed, strength, defense, and vitality. Only in terms of agility were the Gryphons slightly superior.
Kudran had been trying to make up for his lack of combat power with tactics, such as sending one Gryphon to lure the Red Dragons while the other two Gryphons attacked from the back, killing the Dragon Roar Orcs first before dealing with the Red Dragons. Unfortunately, the overall situation was still precarious.
However, with good coordination and cover, the injured Gryphons quickly retreated and managed to maintain the situation.
Kudran did not know how to win, and most of the Wildhammer Dwarves were only relying on their vitality to support themselves. Originally, Kudran was not optimistic about Duque's plan, but since Duque had invited that person, he decided to trust him for the time being.
"Duque! You bastard! If you join the Wildhammer Griffin Legion and perish here today, I will find you and beat you to death even if you hide in the depths of hell! "
"Don't worry! Stay calm! "Duque said in a magical message.
"Damn it — I must be crazy!" While muttering to himself, Kudran kept his Storm Warhammer and held the reins with one hand while blowing the horn with the other.
* Wooo — Wooo — Wooo — * The distant and heroic sound of the horn attracted the attention of all the Wildhammer Dwarves.
At this moment, the sun suddenly broke through the thick layers of clouds. As if responding to the call of the Wildhammer King, the white wings of countless Gryphons shone with golden radiance under the sunlight. They quickly got rid of their opponents and began to gather at the center of the battlefield.
But every Wildhammer Dwarf was dumbfounded. The next sound of the horn was … Landing?
A short inquiry was sent to Kudran!
The reply was still 'land'!
The Wildhammer Dwarves were dumbfounded. If they landed now, wouldn't their backs be exposed to the red dragon? And it was so dense. If the Red Dragon came over and used its Dragon Breath, that would really be …
Oh oh oh! Even if our king wants to roast our griffin friends, there's no need to do that, right?
The Wildhammer Dwarves almost burst into tears!
However, there was no other way. Sensing the gathering of the griffins, the red dragons had automatically ascended to a higher altitude. Then, they all descended to a lower altitude and began diving down towards the griffins.
"Descend! If you don't want to die, come down to the lawn of the palace! " Kudran ordered the herald beside him to repeatedly sound the horn, while he waved his arms fiercely, ordering his men to land!
Whatever!
If I die, I die!
The Wildhammer Dwarves gnashed their teeth and cursed Kudran. They cursed the ancestors of the bastard who came up with this idea and ordered the griffins to descend at high speed.
Above their heads, the huge Red Dragon Legion had also finished assembling. Nearly three hundred dragons formed a terrifying dragon roar, forming a tsunami of sound that echoed in the clear sky.
The dwarves turned their heads and saw the scene that covered the sky. As if they were under a spell, they were nailed to the backs of the griffins and could not move. Their eyes were filled with despair as they looked up at the sky. They were almost paralyzed. If it wasn't for the dwarves tying themselves to the back of the griffins to avoid being thrown down in the fierce aerial battle, perhaps the dwarves would have fallen like raindrops.
A miracle happened!
Almost at the moment when they descended to a height of a hundred meters, every dwarf felt the change in the situation.
They passed through a thin membrane that was almost invisible to the naked eye. It was freezing and cold. Almost every griffin and its knights shivered.
This was …
A mage's Ice Barrier?
They guessed right!
Almost as soon as the last Gryphon passed through the shield, about 30 Dragon Breaths landed on the huge Ice Shield.
When the blazing dragon's breath landed on the translucent ice barrier, a strange sizzling sound immediately rang out. It was a clash of heat and cold. The blazing flames evaporated the water on the barrier, and the cold counteracted the invasion of the heat.
Amazing!
Which Breaking Dawn Great Wizard had arrived? Or was this the magical defense system of the Alterac Palace?
The dwarves who had already begun to descend handed the task to the griffins. They stared blankly at the hemispherical barrier that looked like a freshly peeled egg flickering under the bombardment of the Dragon Breaths, as if it would collapse at any moment, as if the flames of death would descend upon them at any moment.
However, such a situation did not happen. It did not even deform. It only felt that the ice shards floating on the barrier were becoming denser.
At this time, more than one Wildhammer dwarf saw Duque standing at the highest point of the castle where the palace was located.
The deputy commander of the Alliance, the young man who had always been nicknamed the Miracle Man, was like a god descending to earth at this moment. Dozens of huge snowflakes were circling around him. Each hexagonal snowflake was as big as a basin, and they were circling around him in a specific trajectory.
"Thank you for your support! Kudran! Leave the rest to me, Duque! "Duque shouted in an extremely pretentious manner.
In the next second, Duque stretched out his five fingers with a cold expression. A bluish-white magic rose from the soles of his feet, illuminating Duque's face.
From the perspective of the Red Dragon Cavalry, Duque was surrounded by a huge magic formation that was at least 30 meters in diameter.
Zuluhid, who was commanding in the air, had a drastic change in expression. He shouted, "Not good! Run! "
"Don't you think it's too late to escape now?" Du Ke sneered.
A huge storm quickly formed at Duque's feet and spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the diameter of the storm was more than 300 meters.
The griffins screamed in fear, trembling under the shocking power of this magic. But soon, they realized that they were already standing in the eye of the tornado, the safest place. There was nothing happening here. Instead, not far away, the icy wind that was as sharp as a knife was carrying pieces of ice crystals that were constantly spinning.
With the swirling and the addition of a large amount of ice aura, these ice crystals quickly turned into huge round flakes, their sharp edges emitting a cold glint under the sun.
"Run! Run! "Zuluhid, who was high up in the sky, ordered his subordinates to climb as fast as they could. But it was too late.
A thick layer of frost had already formed on the surface of the dragon's wings. Although the dragons were not afraid of low temperatures, it was enough to reduce the frequency at which they flapped their wings, greatly reducing their climbing speed.
In the next instant, the air seemed to have been sucked away. The giant dragon and its rider screamed in pain as they fell to the ground. What awaited them was a giant tornado of ice blades that kept spinning like a meat grinder …
