Chapter 540: Chapter 540

Just as Shaliya was about to give the order, she saw some black dots appearing in the distance through the mirror.

"What are those things?" Shaliya muttered to herself.

As if hearing Shaliya’s words, Lin Yucha, who had the best eyesight, looked up at the sky and said, "Although they’re quite far away, judging by their scale, it should be the Sand Sculpture Knights coming. We should deal with these first."

Du You thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "That’s fine too, the Quicksand soldiers are not strong in terms of aerial capabilities, and the number of Quicksand priests is not too many. Their stronger fighters are all at the forefront. As long as we act quickly, they won’t have a chance to counterattack."

"Don’t worry, my lord, I know what to do."

Shaliya, who was originally prepared to attack, suppressed her urge to do so, and patiently waited, watching as the black dots in the screen steadily approached. Despite not being adept at commanding, Shaliya was certainly capable of performing simple calculations.

These black dots became closer and clearer, indeed they were all Sand Sculptures and Sand Sculpture Knights.

Before the Sand Sculptures entered range, Shaliya finally gave the order, "Arrow towers attack freely, prioritize the flying targets, followed by the priests." Shaliya changed the command tactics of the arrow towers.

Although these arrow towers could not aim with precision, they generally controlled the order of attacks.

The sandpeople advanced while roaring, "Bastards, increase your speed, don’t waste time. The flying squadron is coming. If we let them grab the lead, we’ll lose face."

At this moment, Shali and Fengcao seemed to forget their grudges for the moment and began to compete with the Sand Sculptures in the air. They too had just received the news that the Sand Sculpture Knights were on their way. Unfortunately, the news came a bit too late, otherwise, no matter how dangerous, they would not have slowed down so cautiously.

In their eyes, the humans, who were believed to be cowardly, could only resort to this kind of strategy.

"Ha ha, you two idiots only just made it here, the biggest achievement belongs to me."

A voice in the air filled with disdain was heard, but before it finished, suddenly an arrow shot towards the sky. No, not just one arrow, it was just the beginning. On the slopes of the roads on both sides, numerous arrows flew towards the sky.

A little further ahead, those arrows did not attack the sky but aimed at the sandpeople on the ground instead.

Those Quicksand priests who trailed behind were suddenly attacked without any prior knowledge. Although these arrow towers were only at the first tier, their attack power surpassed that of the ordinary first tier archer.

Unprepared priests and sandpeople were immediately killed or injured, squealing in pain.

In the air, quite a few unlucky Sand Sculptures were directly shot down, and some Sand Sculpture Knights also fell. Under such a terrifying inertial force, those Griffin Knights who fell from the sky did not have any chance of survival, they died on impact.

Shali and Fengcao, two Quicksand warriors, turned their heads in astonishment, unaware that such a thing had suddenly happened behind them.

"Damn it, who is hiding there? Wasn’t it said that there were no humans?" Shali swung his long knife and a Dou Qi blade was released. A bush was shattered on the spot, cutting off an arrow tower in the process.

"It’s an arrow tower, there’s no one controlling it, this must be a human alchemical weapon." Fengcao discovered these things too.

"What are you waiting for, follow me and destroy these things." The two lead the charge, rushing towards the two sides of the road with their followers. Some sandpeople, on the other hand, were holding up their shields, gradually moving closer while defending.

Sandpeople who did not have enough strength would not recklessly charge forward unprotected like the bosses.

The unluckiest were those Sand Sculptures in the sky. If they flew even slightly lower, they would be taken advantage of and severely wounded.

They did not see the Griffin Knights on the other side, who had received the news, quickly rising into the sky.

"Look, they are the targets, follow me to attack, for the glory of the lord."

"For the glory of the lord." The Griffin Knights roared, urging the griffins to speed up. Just as the Sand Sculpture Knights had sufficiently risen to a certain height, they suddenly heard this roar.

Just as they turned their heads, they saw many griffins rushing towards them.

"Damn humans, always using such underhand methods, have the guts to face us head-on."

But the Griffin Knights did confront them head-on. The knights approached, launching a vicious Dou Qi Spiral at them. The unorganized Sand Sculpture Knights were disorganized, many of them were killed on the spot.

Against the nineteenth-tier knights, most of the Sand Sculpture Knights were simply no match. The leader of the Sand Sculpture Knights, facing the attacks of three Griffin Knights at once in the first wave of attacks, was killed on the spot.

Before his death, he released a powerful Dou Qi Slash, splitting a griffin and the knight riding it in half. This was a heavy armored knight, his defensive power was real.

If Du You had been there, he definitely would have known that this sandperson was close to the twentieth tier.

With the help of the ground arrow towers, the Griffin Knights quickly suppressed the attacks of the Sand Sculpture Knights and the Sand Sculptures. With the leader killed in the first round, the Sand Sculpture Knights lost their morale, and their formation was completely disarrayed.

The fight in the air was extremely fast and brutal, with people or birds occasionally falling from the sky and crashing into the ground, with unfortunate sandpeople being hit and killed on the spot.

Shali and Fengcao, leading their men, were frantically attacking the arrow towers on both sides of the hillside.

Against two twentieth-tierQuicksand warriors, the arrow towers’ attacks were completely ineffective. They could dodge such attacks simply with their speed, without even using Dou Qi for defense. Each time they attacked, they could destroy at least one arrow tower.

After ten minutes of fighting, the arrow towers were almost entirely destroyed.

The Griffin Knights received retreat orders at their end, without any hesitation they turned around and left. They came fast and left fast, leaving the Sand Sculpture Knights bewildered in the air, not knowing what to do.

"Idiots, what are you standing there for, why aren’t you chasing after them?"

"Shut up, you idiot, why should we go after them now? Are we asking for death? That direction is not the direction of Mountain Town. We should regroup now and attack Mountain Town together."

The priests who were preparing to assist the aerial troops held up their magic staffs, their faces filled with confusion. Who would have expected these suddenly appeared Griffin Knights to turn around and leave, completely depriving them of an opportunity to show their power?

This surprise attack caused their formation to break, suffering heavy losses. In a very short period of time, the Sand Sculpture Knights lost one-third of their forces, most losses were seen in the second tier, being the primary targets they lost more than seventy percent.
