The fighting methods of the gryphon drivers are also very similar to Stukas.

They first dive-bombed from high altitudes, throwing many explosive potions, and flowers of destruction bloomed in what appeared to be catapult positions.

Afterwards, the griffons continued to dive and slow down, dropping the NPC knights on their backs directly onto the battlefield.

Pilots become paratroopers!

The elite NPC griffon knights were airdropped into the empire's catapult position like airborne troops.

Then began the crazy killing and destruction!

And sure enough, as Flynn expected, the empire's catapults are here!

The invisible catapult that cannot be seen outside can be seen after entering the position.

Obviously, the invisibility mechanism deployed by the empire can only obscure the outside world's vision, but cannot be effective against those within the battlefield.

The goals of the NPCs are also very clear.

They must use the magic props they carry with them, including explosive and flammable potions, scrolls, etc., to destroy as many catapults as possible in the shortest possible time.

At least, destroy most of them.

At a cursory glance, the catapults on the scene were still very densely distributed, and there were also some special magic circles of unknown meaning between the catapults and catapults.

These magic arrays emit this elegant light, as if they are transparent.

It can be speculated that the reason why this position can become invisible is because these magic circles are at work.

The special magic circle, combined with the special catapults, makes the catapults in this area automatically enter a state of invisibility and cannot be discovered by others from the outside world.

Flynn's mission goal is to let these airborne paratrooper NPCs destroy as many catapults and invisible magic circles as possible in the shortest possible time.

In short, try to make the catapult on site not work perfectly.

Although the number of airborne troops dropped is not large, if you add the huge and fierce griffins that can also participate in the battle, then they are an armed force that cannot be underestimated.

And since there are only a small number of artillerymen in the artillery position next to each catapult, their close combat capabilities are generally weak, and many of them are not equipped with any decent weapons and armor.

But now, this group of catapult troops are facing the most powerful NPC troops.

They were raided by the airborne troops descended from the sky, and were instantly killed without their armor. There were obviously thousands of artillerymen in the position, but they were killed by dozens of NPCs and griffons. dog.

We can't blame them for this. Although they are elite soldiers of the empire, they are slingers after all, and they are technical soldiers.

Since they are all about technical skills, there is nothing wrong with being a little weak in close combat, right?

Just like the catapults, ballistas, and artillery in Total War, a very popular strategy game on earth, they are disgusting from a distance and have zero melee effect.

To be fair, we can't let some Roman hoplite infantry drive catapults, right?

Those responsible for driving the catapults were all ordinary cloth-armored units, equipped only with dregs of weapons such as small daggers and small bucklers. They were completely unable to stop Flynn's airborne NPCs!

Two minutes!

From the time when the airborne troops descended from the sky driving griffons, to the end when all the NPCs were completely wiped out, and the griffins fled in disgrace with the loss of more than half of them.

It only takes two minutes.

As for the Empire, their support was too fast. It only took two minutes to destroy Flynn's airborne troops.

But Flynn's airborne troops also destroyed more than half of the Empire's catapults in two minutes.

This is also thanks to the destructive props, scrolls, potions, etc. that Flynn equipped them with in sufficient quantity and good quality.

Sufficient props allow NPC airborne troops to unleash maximum destructive power in a short period of time.

There is a special targeted potion with almost zero explosive lethality, but if thrown on a catapult, it will have a strong corrosive effect.

It can corrode a large piece of wood from a catapult in just tens of seconds, which is very useful.

The explosive magic potion is even more simple and crude.

Throwing a bottle of magic potion or a scroll will produce a small-scale explosion. Although it is not enough to completely destroy the main body of the catapult, it is enough to damage the parts and break some fragile connections.

If the empire wants to repair these catapults, it will take a certain amount of time.

At this point, the empire's stealth artillery positions have basically been scrapped.

If the empire continues to drop stones and bombard it in the future, its scale will inevitably be weakened a lot. Flynn can also specially send death squad players to continue the airdrop destruction.

All in all, this air raid was relatively successful, although dozens of griffons and 100 NPCs were lost.

But it's all worth it.

Catapult positions, capable of essentially destroying the Empire, were crucial to this campaign.

Without artillery bombing, the empire will no longer be able to slowly grind away at long range as it did before.

That was a tactic that really gave Flynn a headache.

After all, the tactic of using long-distance grinding is shameless and inefficient, but it is indeed very disgusting.

When Flynn himself played Total War, he would sometimes create a MOD to ban the ballistae.

Otherwise, having a cannon is too brainless, bullying the AI, and destroying your own gaming experience.

After paying a certain cost and basically destroying the empire's artillery positions, Flynn returned his sights to the front line.

Flynn felt a little surprised by the hundreds of thousands of brothers who rushed forward to give them away for free.

That is, after a period of bloody battle.

Among the hundreds of thousands of players, more than half have died.

More than half of them died in less than an hour. It can be said that the death efficiency is very high. This is also in line with the consistent high efficiency of the fourth natural disaster.

But the current battlefield situation, at least the battle situation, is different from the situation just now, where a small number of elite players were fighting back and forth with the empire, and most of the novice players were unilaterally massacred by the empire. .

In other words, after the rookies are dead, the rest are the big guys.

These bosses who are still alive and still insisting on fighting, although their number is only less than half of before, are surrounded by the empire.

But the people who were still alive were tightly hugging each other, and the various battle groups were cooperating more closely with each other.

Every loophole in the defense line has someone to fill it.

Every time the empire attacks, someone leads a team to counterattack.

On every line of defense, there is a strong team of veterans running the show.

They were clearly surrounded by the Empire, but the battle line was not like it was at the beginning. Hundreds of thousands of people were huddled together in two groups but leaking air everywhere. Either they were broken through by the Empire here, or they were killed indiscriminately by the Empire there.

Now the fighting effect of the tens of thousands of people left is even more outstanding.
