The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 878 The Great Forbidden Spell - Azure Sky Corridor

"No way! There are lunatics here! The number of these griffins seems off!" Doss Anthony, dodging a stun gun that looked like it would hurt a lot with just one hit, was completely bewildered. The griffins' reaction had truly startled him! The enemy not only refused to surrender but dared to attack them! Furthermore, the number seemed significantly different from what the intelligence had said, and because they needed to capture the griffins alive, they were forced to deal with their desperate assault with limited mobility!

"Think of something, sis!" Dos Anthony looked on with a gloomy expression as the griffins kept charging at them, while they could only use area-of-effect skills to block and surround them! Dos Anthony thought that if he didn't come up with a solution soon, he would be beaten to death by the griffins!
"Don't rush, take it easy! They can't break through!" Ajax was very calm. Facing wave after wave of griffins charging in, she made full use of the power of the fire-type area magic Resist Fire Ring. The Resist Fire Ring cast with dragon power had a larger range and stronger resistance. Wave after wave of Resist Fire Rings formed a three-dimensional fire net that enveloped the griffins.

"Roar!" Clusters of pure white orbs of light bobbed and floated toward the griffins. Once they got close, they would suddenly explode, and the dragon power would turn into scorching white flames that would cling to the griffins like a bone-deep infection. The griffins' magic power was rapidly consumed by the evaporating flames.

"Tear!" The lightning-fast electric net spread out in a winding pattern around the griffins, occasionally lashing out at them and driving them to huddle together.

"This won't do! These things have ridiculously high magic resistance!" Kurt was as if he had seen a ghost. The lightning from the electric dragons was like a tickle to them. This left the electric dragons, who prided themselves on their explosive attack power, completely dumbfounded. The last time Kurt felt this helpless was when he was facing the "canned food" with the earth attribute. This was the first time his lightning power had been so weak!
"It's not that they have high magic resistance! It's that these griffins are dual-attribute wind and electricity! You idiot!" Chasing Light couldn't stand it anymore. Do you think someone who wields lightning can be killed by lightning? As a high-ranking magical beast, do griffins have no dignity?
"Damn it! There's such a thing as attribute weakening within the same element? Nobody taught me that!" Dos Anthony was also completely baffled. As a direct descendant of the Anthony family, he didn't seem to have learned any of this stuff!
"It's not attribute weakness! It's guidance! Those griffins have lightning-attracting skills! Your skill is basically just blowing up thin air!" Kaldo was the first to see the problem, since he also knew the lightning-attracting skill. Wind and water-type magical beasts, whose lightning damage was greatly amplified, had all learned this ability during their long evolution—basically, they created their own lightning rods to guide the lightning! For lightning-type magical beasts that deal pure energy damage, this was hitting their Achilles' heel!
"..." Kurt glanced at the dumbfounded Dos Anthony, then decided to wait a bit longer. Going up there would only be pointless, just showing off their electric sparks, and a passionate dragon charge was out of the question! Looking at the Thunder Dragon Kurt's "thin" scales (compared to the full armor of Chasing Light and Vili, the naked dragon's defense was indeed quite weak!) and his own small arms and legs, both he and the dragon had an extremely clear understanding of their own strength!
"They're trying to escape! Block their flanks!" Ajax shouted. After all, the sky wasn't covered, and if these griffins really intended to scatter and run away, it would be troublesome!
"Roar!" Two cyan wind bands swept across! This was a new level of mastery of dragon power for Caslo and Kaldo! The cyan wind bands, hundreds of meters high and ten kilometers long, blocked the roads on both sides like two walls of sighs, while the wind blades falling like fireworks shredded the valleys on both sides! Wood chips and gravel flew everywhere! Clearly, reality had told the griffins that this path was impassable! Those two wind walls were like high-speed rotating meat grinders, devouring everything within their range!
"This is the Great Forbidden Spell—Azure Sky Corridor!" Dos Anthony stared at his brother-in-law in awe. No wonder he was a sixth-tier Dragon Knight! The way he wielded and controlled the Great Forbidden Spell with such ease filled Dos Anthony with envy! Dos Anthony knew perfectly well that he'd probably only reach the fourth tier in his lifetime, and that he was only good enough to play with forbidden spells. He figured he'd never be able to use the Great Forbidden Spell in his life. After all, by the time Kurt grew to adulthood, Dos Anthony estimated his grave would be so high that even a single forbidden spell couldn't level it!

……

"Whoa! A forbidden wind spell!" Caslo's forbidden spell not only shocked Dos Anthony, but also Roland and his group who had joined the battle from behind. Sensing something was wrong, the dragon knights formed a long, straight line behind Roland! Then they watched in shock as two walls of wind swept past from either side.

"So intense? They're even using forbidden spells? Are griffins this troublesome?" Weiss's eyes widened. He knew he'd seen the kingdom's griffin knights before, and he didn't think those weak griffins could pose any threat to a dragon!

Vili, beneath him, agreed with Weiss's idea, provided the griffins weren't in large flocks! Even Vili would run away at the sight of a massive griffin colony!
"Look closely, you silly child! This is clearly a battlefield divider!" Before Roland could even speak, Purple Chain sneered at Vili. Even a fool could see that the Azure Sky Corridor, a large-scale, continuous forbidden spell, was used to divide the battlefield and intercept enemies! Surely no one would actually rush in and try to break through it?
"Uh..." Weiss was speechless after receiving confirmation from Roland and Nyx's gazes, but he couldn't help but marvel at how extravagant the kingdom was now, using forbidden spells to divide the battlefield!
"What do we do?" Roland, who had arrived at the outer edge of the battlefield, felt helpless looking at the flock of griffins that had formed a sphere. After all, he needed the seedlings, not the corpses. These were the foundation of his future Sky Knights Order. Roland would feel bad if he killed even one of them!
"Ding dong! Congratulations, host, for witnessing a natural wonder—a super-sized griffin colony!" The half-dead system suddenly perked up.

"Honor Points rewarded +5!"

"Hiss! This is the larger settlement that Verway was talking about? So all you elves, dwarves, and humans' scouts grew up eating test papers?" Roland murmured, staring at the flock of griffins before him and hearing the system notification. Only now did he truly understand the immense size of the griffin flock and why it had been included in the system's list of wonders!

"They're huge!" That was Roland's first impression! If this flock of griffins doesn't number at least a hundred, please slap the esteemed Lord Roland in the face! No wonder they're called a spectacle! This deadly population size is probably the largest griffin flock in all of Middle-earth!

"No? Your Majesty? We're catching these things?" Weiss's face already showed the classic expression of Benboerba.

"I don't know! Your Majesty's decree?" Caslo's mental energy instantly connected with Roland.

"What do we do, Your Majesty!" Ajax also joined in, countless mental energies intertwining in the void. The six people and eight dragons were deeply shocked by the terrifying scene before them: hundreds of wild griffins soaring about! This is going to kill us!

“The entire Northern Territory is their hunting ground!” Nyx came from the Grand Duchy of Nyx. As one of the “first shareholders of the Empire” with close blood ties to the Anthony and McDoug families and King Rune, she naturally had no shortage of secrets. She could figure it out with a little calculation!
