I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 420 The two ends of the first rat, the crusading army in trouble

  Following the fall of the lava fire dragon, the wizards on the airship were relieved. After solving this big trouble, they were finally safe.

  As for the Griffin Knights of the Holy See, under the harassment of several fighter jets, they were even more vulnerable, falling from the sky like dumplings.

Also witnessing this scene were the bishops on the ground. They were shocked and angry when they saw the mighty fire dragon summoned by the saintess beheaded in an instant, and the Griffin Knights were beaten helplessly. But also helpless.

  The most important thing is that under the shadow of night and polarized light magic, they couldn't see how those Griffin Riders were killed.

   "My lord Joshua, Your Majesty the Holy Maiden, otherwise we should withdraw our troops first." A cardinal said cautiously.

Without the Fire Dragon, the Griffin Knights were also severely damaged. In the air battle, they lost a complete mess, which also meant that they lost the power to restrain the airship, and the next battle would need to face threats from the air at all times. .

   It is even possible to fall into the same predicament of being chased and beaten as when fighting in the sea of ​​fog.

  But before Lucia could reply, this proposal was strongly opposed by all the bishops.

   "You mean to give up the sharp weapon of the empire and sit back and watch those demon minions slaughter the Lord's people?"

   "No way, it's a disgrace!"

   All the bishops were arguing red-faced, and in the sky, a griffin that was swept by a machine gun fell towards this side.

  Lucia ignored the arguments of the bishops, stretched out her hand, and a soft divine light appeared, and the speed of the falling griffin became slower and slower, and finally fell to the ground smoothly.

  This poor griffin, with half of its wings broken, let out bursts of whining, and still had a slight sense of consciousness.

  The knight above was smashed into a sieve by the machine gun, and the corpse flew to nowhere.

  【God-given rain】

Lucia caressed the head of the griffin, and the water mist containing the brilliance of divine magic immediately enveloped the broken body. The body pierced by the machine gun was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken wings grew again. back.

  The recovered griffin seems to have not been relieved from the fear, and it screams from time to time...

  Lucia swung her large skirt and sat neatly on the back of the giant beast, and suppressed the fear of the griffin with magic.

  A group of bishops also ignored the debate at this moment, and looked at the Holy Lady in surprise.

   "Master Lucia, don't you want to fight in person?"

   "This is really too dangerous, and I'm afraid it won't help if you alone." A cardinal spoke eagerly to stop it.

  Although the formidable power that Lucia showed when she summoned and enslaved the fire dragon made them greatly change their opinion of this holy lady, they still disapproved of the other party's risk-taking actions alone.

   After all, the saint represents the face of the Holy See and is a servant of God, so she must not be easily suspected.

   Not to mention that after being elected, Lucia has been pampered in the holy city, and has no combat experience at all. No matter how strong she is, she may not be able to show it!

  While speaking out one after another to dissuade him, all the bishops also turned their heads to look at Joshua, hoping that the presiding judge could stop Lucia's reckless behavior.

  However, Joshua did not do what they wished, but asked respectfully. "Is there anything we can do, Your Majesty?"

   Lucia glanced at the scattered airships in the sky again, and then said firmly. "Take some people and return to the City of Fire Oil immediately!"

   "There are too few of them!" Lucia murmured.

  After the voice fell, the rested griffin spread its wings and flew into the sky. The dust raised made a dozen bishops frown, but it was Lucia's words that confused them even more.

   Return to the City of Fire Oil? Does it mean to let them retreat first?

  Or some people evacuate first?

   "Do it!" Without the slightest hesitation, Joshua looked at the bishops and ordered directly. "I will lead some of the God's Punishment Knights to the City of Fire Oil immediately, Ragnar, and you will be in charge of the next command!"

   "But, Lord Judge..." Cardinal Ragnar showed hesitation, such a chaotic and irrational order, do they still have to obey?

  The rest of the bishops were also extremely dissatisfied, thinking that it was just Lucia, who had no experience in war, commanding randomly because of her noble status.

  Amidst the doubts, Joshua spoke slowly. "Her Majesty has received divine revelation, and her instruction is the Lord's will!"

  Ragnar and the others shut up immediately, because they knew that the judge would never make fun of this matter!

  After a few orders, Joshua took three thousand God's Punishment Knights and set off for the City of Fire Oil...

  At the same time, the God's Punishment Knights who went to find and treat the wounded also turned back one after another.

   Those Griffin Riders who were hit by lasers and machine guns and fell from the sky were almost dead, and the airship shot down by flames was no exception. Not even a single survivor was found.

  Ragnar had a thought, and asked suddenly. "Have you checked those airships? How many bodies are there?"

   "It should be less than 20!" The knight who returned hesitantly replied, most of the airships were burned by the scorching dragon's breath before they crashed, and the corpses were completely disfigured, but it would definitely not exceed this number...

   "Only twenty?!" Ragnar's pupils shrank slightly, and a chill could not help feeling in his heart, and he immediately realized a certain problem that they had been ignoring all along.

  The airships they saw were only more than a hundred, and according to previous speculation, after the battle, the wizards had about 8,000 troops, not counting the follow-up reinforcements.

  That is to say, each airship must be loaded with seventy or eighty people, and those heavy new weapons must be carried...

   This is absolutely impossible!

  Not only Ragnar, but also the bishops quickly reacted, and immediately understood why Her Majesty the Holy Maiden suddenly asked them to send people to support the city of fire oil!

  Because the main force of the wizards is not here at all, they are probably still stranded in that town, just creating the illusion that they have evacuated, so that everyone goes to chase the airship...

   Realizing this, Ragnar's brow broke out in cold sweat.

  One side is the very important fire oil field, and the other side is the fortress and strong city in the western part of the empire. Where are the real goals of those wizards?
