Chapter 368 -356 Glenn: Let them witness the speed of light!
Inside the royal city, chaos was quickly spreading.
This time, the Griffin Knights descending from the sky showed no intention of setting fires.
Instead, taking advantage of the cover of night and their superior vision, they swooped down, attacking the guards below with sharp claws or Divine Arts before effortlessly ascending into the sky before any counterattack could reach them.
“Take aim, everyone—shoot those damned griffins down!” roared an officer leading a troop of musketeers, left with no choice but to command his men to aim at the sky and keep firing relentlessly.
...
However, they could only rely on the sparse light shed by the crescent moon to barely make out the terrifying beasts plummeting down from above.
After a round of shooting, not a single griffin feather was disturbed.
As the musketeers began to reload their ammunition, a sharp dagger burst from the darkness, slicing the officer’s throat in an instant.
Then the Hidden Guard elites took advantage of the chaos the Griffin Knights were causing in the city and quickly eliminated the guards stationed in the area.
But they soon engaged with reinforcements that had rushed over in street combat.
Both sides fought fiercely, with screams of pain, roars of fury, and cries of agony echoing through the night.
With the harassment of the Griffin Knights and the cover of night, the Hidden Guard almost completely dominated the battle.
The musketeers managed to kill a few enemies with an initial concentrated volley, but were then forced to wield their bayonets in a bloody battle against the advancing Hidden Guards.
Corpses piled up on the streets, with crimson blood slowly trickling down the blades and quickly staining the ground red.
The citizens of the royal city could only curl up in their houses, praying that the fight would not reach them.
Haydon was one of them.
Unlike most devote Believers who earnestly hoped for God’s Messengers to defeat “evil,” Haydon had no desire to return to his former life.
Since the Wizards had taken over the city, they had established many things called workshops, which recruited a large number of labourers and were willing to provide extremely generous treatment.
At first, everyone speculated that these so-called workshops must be a devilish lie, an utter hoax, but Haydon, who had nothing to lose, did not care.
He only knew that the King had blocked the city, preventing them from going out to hunt, and without food, he would starve to death!
So Haydon entered the workshop with a resigned-to-fate attitude, only to find, contrary to everyone’s expectations, that it was not a place for Wizards to experiment with evil magic.
Their job was to burn and process various ores, and besides providing lunch, the workshop also paid them six kingdom silver coins a month…
When Haydon actually held the money in his hands, he felt bewildered.
In just two months, he had completely left behind his former life of hunger and uncertainty, and he couldn’t help but start to question the words of the Priests.
Were those Wizards truly the minions of the devil, spreaders of plague, and the incarnation of fear?
After all, when they had seized the city, these people had not burst into his house to steal his possessions; they had not massacred the Believers of God.
And in the battle five days earlier, God’s Messengers in the sky set their houses on fire and even burned to death a few Believers who had rushed out, jubilant and kneeling in worship, while on the contrary, the so-called “minions of the devil” were willing to help him repair his house after the disaster.
Thinking this, Haydon began to pray to an unknown existence that the Wizards might win the battle.
Perhaps his prayer had taken effect, or maybe it was some other factor, but the dim world outside suddenly lit up and kept getting brighter.
It wasn’t the red-hot glow of a fire but a gentle white light, as if night had instantaneously turned into day…
The change in the outside world was even more pronounced.
The soft white light appeared in one region and then, following the flow of electricity, spread to the entire capital…
Hidden Guards, who had originally concealed themselves in the darkness and shadows, relying on surprise attacks to swiftly handle each area, were now forced to stand out in the open under the glare of the electric light…
The musketeers, who had been completely suppressed, immediately burst into cheers and began their true counterattack.
They were not afraid of engaging the enemy in hand-to-hand combat,
“What kind of magic is this?” Vid, leading the Griffin Knights in the sky, noticed the anomaly on the ground right away.
The entire capital seemed to have lit up, turning into a giant luminescent body.
What kind of magic could cover such an enormous area?
Could it be that a legendary Wizard had made a move?
Vid’s expression grew somber, but he quickly realized that the light was emanating from the round orbs hanging above the streets.
It must be some kind of peculiar witchcraft artifact.
As long as they destroyed them, the spell would naturally stop!
Realizing this, Vid immediately prepared to signal the Griffin Knights to disperse and use Divine Arts to destroy these light sources.
However, before they could take action, they saw a number of massive objects appear in the skies above the capital, looking mighty in the moonlight as they sped towards them.
“Haha, I didn’t expect these cowards actually to dare come out!” Vid laughed, aborting his previous plan and leading the Griffin Knights toward the airships.
Dealing with these threats in the sky was obviously more important.
In any case, they must not allow these strange and enormous alchemical creations to reach the frontline of the battlefield!
Compared to that, the trouble on the ground was insignificant.
The role of these Hidden Guards was merely to assist and create chaos.
Once Lord Edwell and the Divine Knights arrived, all the rebels would be nothing more than chickens and dogs…
“Everyone, keep a distance of fifty meters.
No melee combat allowed, attack with Divine Arts!” Vid raised his warhammer high and bellowed.
This was the optimal distance he had deduced from the lessons of the last battle.
Fifty meters was neither too far nor too close.
They could use Divine Arts to attack the airships and maneuver their mounts, the griffins, to dodge the enemy’s targeting.
This also prevented the enemy from adopting a kamikaze tactic.
This time would be his moment of revenge!
In the airship, Alec, acting as the captain, was incredibly tense as he watched the Griffin Knights draw closer.
Just a few days ago, he had witnessed a friendly ship being destroyed right before his eyes, so he was acutely aware of the threat posed by these Griffin Knights.

“Lord Glenn, aren’t we going to act now?” Alec looked toward the male witch beside him, asking urgently.
“Don’t rush!
Let them come closer.
According to Dean Lynn’s wishes, we must completely obliterate these Griffin Knights this time!” Glenn shook his head, signaling Alec to be patient.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he smiled and asked, “By the way, have you ever seen the speed of light?”
