While the hero remained silent, the empire’s elite experts who had been dispatched had already arrived before the three executives.
“Karina, be careful! These people’s strength is different from the small fry.”
Seeing so many people suddenly appear and surround them, Elodie also warned Karina.
After all, Karina wasn’t some “legal loli” – she was genuinely a little girl with executive-level combat power.
If possible, Elodie didn’t even want a child like Karina on the battlefield.
But going to the battlefield was originally what Karina had begged Natalie for.
Personally avenging her dead family was Karina’s wish!
And leaving an executive-level combat power unused would indeed be a waste.
That’s why Natalie agreed to Karina’s request.
However, because she was truly so young, almost all of the Demon King’s executives doted on her and wouldn’t let her take on work that truly exceeded her capabilities.
“No problem, meow! I won’t lose to these humans! Sister Elodie, you be careful too, meow!”
“I will…”
Though still somewhat worried, since Karina herself said so, Elodie couldn’t very well make her withdraw to the fortress.
Moreover, facing so many human experts, losing one executive-level combatant would indeed cause headaches for Daphiel and Elodie.
“What should we do, Captain? These three demons aren’t so easy to defeat…”
Just like the three executives, the empire’s elite experts who had arrived were also wary of the three of them.
“Orders are orders! Do as the Marshal intends! Deal with these three demons as quickly as possible!”
“Yes!”
After the captain finished speaking, they charged directly at the three executives.
And the three executives began their counterattack.
Under the assault of the three executives, the empire experts’ formation was immediately disrupted!
Karina dealt with two, while Daphiel and Elodie together attacked the remaining six!
Although the empire experts understood that gathering all eight together gave them an advantage, facing the three executives’ offensive, they simply couldn’t regroup!
And at the same time, the deafening roar of a hundred dragons once again appeared on the battlefield!
The empire soldiers currently engaged with the demon race all looked up at the sky!
Over a hundred giant wyverns once again appeared in their field of vision.
The immense pressure made all the empire soldiers tremble.
Seeing the wyverns mobilized, the demon soldiers’ morale soared!
After all, the demon soldiers had witnessed the combat power of the wyvern unit!
That terrifying firepower that could annihilate thousands of empire soldiers in the blink of an eye!
How could it not excite the demon soldiers!
The next moment, the wyvern unit launched another attack!
Just like before, the erupted sea of flames instantly engulfed a unit of over a thousand men!
Of course, having learned from the previous lesson, the Marshal had arranged his troops more spread out!
After all, the last time several thousand were wiped out was due to the density being too high!
However, even though the density had been reduced as much as possible, one bombardment from the wyvern unit could still instantly eliminate over a thousand people.
This terrifying firepower made some of the more cowardly empire soldiers snap.
They screamed as they fled toward the rear.
“Aaah!”
And seeing others flee, other soldiers naturally followed suit, like an avalanche.
After all, no one wanted to be burned alive!
The fleeing soldiers instantly shattered the empire army’s formation, throwing the rear lines into chaos!
Although the disciplinary troops had already drawn their swords and killed some of the fleeing soldiers, they couldn’t hold back this trend of desertion at all!
Some disciplinary troops were even pushed down by soldiers and trampled to death.
The deaths caused by the collapsing army formation were even greater than the wyvern unit’s first attack.
*
“Cowards!”
Looking at the collapsing army formation, the Marshal cursed angrily.
However, when the hundred wyverns simultaneously let out their dragon roars just now, the Marshal himself was also startled.
After all, the roar of a hundred dragons was truly too deafening!
It directly awakened the survival instinct within.
If the Marshal hadn’t exerted all his effort to endure it, he himself might have been unable to resist turning and running!
On this battlefield, the person most likely unaffected by the hundred-dragon roar was probably the hero, Hadia.
“Send out the griffin unit immediately! I refuse to believe a thousand griffins aren’t a match for these wyverns!”
Realizing that letting the wyverns run amok would lead to his side’s eventual demise, the Marshal urgently commanded.
Under the Marshal’s order, the thousand griffins that had been waiting for a long time took flight to meet the battle!
The wind blades released by the griffins’ flapping wings shot toward the wyverns.
In terms of speed and agility, wyverns were completely no match for griffins.
They could only act as living targets, continuously attacked by the griffins.
Seeing the attacks of the thousand griffins all hit, the Marshal revealed a smile.
“Wyverns, nothing special…”
Before the Marshal could finish his sentence, a wyvern’s massive maw directly clamped onto one of the griffins!
In the blink of an eye, it swallowed the griffin whole!
The “pilot” riding it plummeted toward the ground.
And of course, the wyverns that were completely unscathed weren’t just one!
Almost all of them were nearly unharmed!
The griffins’ attacks were completely ineffective against the wyverns’ dragon scales!
After all, if wyverns could be easily shot down by griffins, Daphiel wouldn’t have trained a wyvern unit in the first place.
The griffins’ “soft” attacks truly couldn’t pierce the dragon scales!
Wyverns were essentially aerial tanks, while griffins were at best aerial cavalry.
“How is this possible… Those people! Why aren’t they back to help yet!”
While the griffin unit was being treated as snacks by the wyverns, one by one getting crunched, the Marshal turned his gaze back toward the three executives.
And what appeared in his vision was one of the empire’s elite experts, bisected by Karina’s greatsword.
After all, it took three experts to barely fight a Demon King executive to a standstill!
And although Karina’s strength wasn’t among the strongest of the Demon King’s executives, she wasn’t someone two empire experts could hold back!
With Karina’s action of killing one of them, the empire experts’ battle line directly collapsed!
In a one-on-one situation, Karina almost instantly killed the other person.
Freed from those two holding her back, Karina immediately went to support Daphiel and Elodie!
If this continued, the empire’s eight elite experts would eventually be wiped out!
“Hero, please act quickly!”
The Marshal’s tone had lost its initial confidence, now filled with fear as he pleaded for Hadia’s assistance!
After all, if this continued, both the griffin unit and the elite experts would be annihilated.
Once they were gone, next would be the Marshal himself!
“I understand!”
Though she knew her enemy was the Demon King, if she didn’t act now, who knew how many more would die!
Hadia might despise the Marshal, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch the demon race continue this one-sided slaughter of the empire army.
Drawing her holy sword, Hadia instantly vanished from the Marshal’s sight.
When she reappeared, she had already used her holy sword to deflect Karina’s greatsword as it swung toward one of the experts.
Karina’s small body was flung back over ten meters by Hadia’s absurd strength.
After deflecting Karina, Hadia charged toward the other two executives, instantly forcing Daphiel and Elodie back.
In less than a second, the six experts who had been certain to die narrowly escaped death.
