King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 287

“It’s…it’s really true!”

“What are these exotic beasts called? Gryphons!? They’re actually artificially bred?!”

“Hiss… Knights who can freely soar in the sky, air superiority…”

“Heavens! Not only their individual strength, but even their elite subordinates are so terrifying.”

“Is this the foundation of Britannia?!”

“It’s truly astonishing.”

“What beautiful gryphons, if only I could also ride one and soar through the sky…”

“…”

Even if they had been mentally prepared.

But upon hearing Arthur’s straightforward admission, the noisy crowd on the field still couldn’t help but erupt.

What is this?

Air superiority, damn it!!

On the vast and boundless sea, the endless ocean separated the major islands, hindering land transportation.

Land armies were mostly only useful for local defense.

The navy was the mainstream on the sea.

And what held an even greater advantage than the navy was definitely the air force!

Soaring in the sky, they were inherently in an invincible position. Those without the ability to fly weren’t even qualified to touch their clothes, and could only rely on a massive accumulation of elixirs and saturation bombing for defense.

Whether it was mobility or strategic importance, they were top-notch.

What’s more—

Many of the strong individuals present at the 24th field clearly saw it with wide eyes.

In the sky.

The knights riding gryphons and commanding these sky behemoths were not weaklings.

Clad in heavy knight armor, their military bearing was impeccable, showing no signs of fatigue. Moreover, through Observation Haki, they could detect considerable life fluctuations from them.

They definitely possessed considerable mastery of both types of Haki.

Just by looking at their soaring posture, as if walking on flat ground, and the intensity of their life fluctuations, one could tell their strength was considerable. With the gryphons’ unique flying ability and speed comparable to warp jumps.

In a one-on-one fight, even against a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, they might not be without a chance. With air superiority, at least entanglement for a period of time would be no problem.

Their strength bonus was comparable to Devil Fruits.

And!

These Gryphon Knights were clearly not just one or two, but organized into columns and groups, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, obscuring the sky at a glance.

Overlooking the heavens, suppressing the firmament, stirring up fierce winds and waves.

Compared to the renowned Eternal Knights, their numbers were far inferior.

But this newly formed Glorious Knights, appearing before everyone’s eyes, was definitely a new trump card revealed by Arthur, truly the elite of elites.

Among the major top powers present, it was hard to say if they could even raise a team comparable to this, even by exhausting all their potential.

Rich and powerful!

Extremely arrogant!

Simply… terrifyingly exaggerated!

This thought couldn’t help but surface in everyone’s minds.

Even though among the major powers, they were comparable to good cadres, and with good luck, they could even gain titles similar to Gryphon Knights, becoming renowned pirates and strong individuals.

But in Britannia, they were practically being mass-produced. The speed at which talents and prodigies depreciated was enough to give people heart palpitations.

Leaving aside the top-tier combat power.

Among the mid-tier elites, perhaps only the Marines, who had established branches all over the world and suppressed the sea with their own strength, could be compared to Britannia?

Coupled with the superiority of the air force, even the Marines might not be able to contend in certain aspects.

Everyone’s minds were filled with various thoughts.

While astonished, they couldn’t help but feel a great deal of apprehension.

The tip of the iceberg of war potential displayed was simply heart-stopping.

It has to be said!

Arthur’s deterrent action was not only successful but even surpassed expectations and achieved complete success!

“These guys…”

The slovenly old man, who was locked in a battle with the magic popcorn and surrounded by a pile of popcorn buckets, suddenly paused.

He looked up at the sky through his half-pulled hat brim.

His usually carefree face showed a rare look of solemnity.

“This…”

“Is this that kid’s trump card?”

“Or is it just a trivial part of what he’s shown?”

He frowned as he looked at Arthur on the high platform. (For exhilarating novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly reined in within a very short time.

His feet shifted.

He subtly changed his position, yet surprisingly didn’t attract the attention of the surrounding crowd in the surging celebratory seats.

He took a handful of popcorn and sat down, pretending as if nothing was wrong.

But he secretly wiped a bead of sweat.

These young fellows nowadays were truly becoming more and more abnormal. He was almost discovered!

That Roger guy was really troublesome~

He complained endlessly in his heart, but his face showed no signs of annoyance.

However…

His peripheral vision caught the Gryphon Knights soaring freely in the sky.

His expression slightly froze.

The Glorious… Knights…

No! I must inform Sengoku and make that kid change his plan, otherwise my senbei will be gone~

As he thought,

A certain person’s nonsensical and unreliable side popped out again.

The grand celebration!

Various salutes fired in unison, fireworks dazzling.

The majestic and spirited knight order marched proudly through the square, accepting Arthur’s review and scrutiny.

The confidence emanating from their bones made people can’t help but glance sideways.

And the music playing beside them, the chorus.

The entire island was filled with laughter and joy, immersed in the grand celebration.

The atmosphere gradually reached a climax with the opening of the thought.

Apart from those with ulterior motives in the dark, everyone else was dazzled by the celebration, 880 where a large number of alchemy items hastily crafted by Morgan, and her bizarre magical techniques, played a significant role.

“So…”

“What are you looking at, little Arthur?”

Morgan, who had just finished manipulating a phantom dragon to pierce the sky, shook the residual magic from her fingertips, propped her pointed chin, and looked at Arthur with composure.

Her cherry lips slightly parted.

Her bright, clear eyes seemed to speak.

Robin, who was brought back as a follower, timidly hid behind Morgan, not daring to approach Le Fay, but couldn’t help but curiously gaze at Arthur’s handsome figure.

Before!

She only thought he was a pirate who was dissatisfied with the World Government and the Steel Empire’s hegemony, and had a sense of justice. She never expected him to be the ruler of a vast empire, with strength and influence far exceeding her imagination.

If…

Ohara could have had such strength, perhaps the doctors wouldn’t have…

Robin’s eyes darkened, and she felt an unspeakable dull pain in her heart.

“What?”

“Did you see another pretty girl?”

“Don’t forget what you promised before, you have to show her to me first~”

Arthur was slightly stunned.

Morgan’s teasing voice, along with her playful gaze, reached him.

Behind her…

There seemed to be a little mushroom head, scrutinizing him with black, grape-like eyes.

Stare—.
