Griffon Corps

Sabrina's left shoulder was stabbed by a headhunter with Short Flying Spear.

The Short Flying Spear pierced Sabrina's collarbone, leaving a bloody hole in her left shoulder.

Because Sabrina was wearing heavy armor, the Short Flying Spear did not penetrate very deeply.

However, the tips of these Short Flying Spear were coated with a voodoo concoction prepared by headhunter witch doctors, which at one point caused the wounds to fester.

Bloodstained bandages lay piled on the table. Sabrina pulled up her robe, which had fallen onto her forearm, and Roy's gaze shifted to the wound on her shoulder.

For a moment, Sabrina felt a little shy, and her fair skin immediately turned pink.

The wound on my shoulder has scabbed over, but it's possible that some voodoo residue remains and the wound hasn't fully healed.

A beam of holy light fell on Sabrina's wound. Sabrina could feel some black smoke-like energy spreading from the wound, and the last bit of burning and stinging sensation seemed to dissipate with the smoke.

Miss Tiffany took a roll of Hemostatic Bandage from her Magic Pouch, walked over to Sabrina, and helped her re-bandage her wound.

Sabrina kept one hand pressed against the front of her robe to prevent it from slipping down her chest.

Only then did Roy notice that someone seemed to be missing from the room, and asked Sabrina with some curiosity:

"Where's Moira? I can't find her."

Sabrina was even more puzzled and asked Roy, "Didn't you send her on a mission with the Assassin Squad this evening?"

Roy stared in disbelief and said, "How could I possibly let her go..."

"... She lied to us?"

Sabrina discovers that the once well-behaved and introverted Moira has somehow developed her own ideas and has even learned to lie.

She turned to look at Miss Tiffany was holding up Hemostatic Bandage.

It was only in the evening, with Miss Tiffany and Moira working together, that Sabrina came to believe Moira's story.

Miss Tiffany realized that she had been exposed, so she quickly put the bandage in Sabrina's hand and ran into the bathroom.

Sabrina got up and chased after her.

"Tiffany, don't run away..."

"Sabrina, you... don't come in, I'm going to take a shower... ouch!"

Miss Mermaid's scream came from the bathroom.

Roy took the opportunity to leave Sabrina and Moira's room, paused for a moment in front of the corridor railing, and saw that everything in the castle courtyard was normal.

Arriving at the City Wall, I looked around and saw that the castle was quiet. All the headhunters who had gathered in front of the castle a few days ago were nowhere to be seen.

It seems this Assassin Squad has really caused these Highland Slavers quite a bit of trouble.

The Half-Elf Warrior night duty on the City Wall bowed to Roy when they saw him.

Roy felt the wind was strong at night, so he turned up his collar and looked north into the cold wind. Unfortunately, it was pitch black in the distance, and when he looked up at the night sky, he couldn't see a single star.

Klayr sat on the edge of the City Wall, with a Carbide Lamp on the battlement. He held a music score in his hands, his nose red from the cold, yet he faced the wind with his eyes closed, as if quietly listening to the howling north wind.

His hair was a little messy from the wind...

Roy walked over and saw that the sheet music indeed had many notes written on it, but there were also many corrections...

Hearing footsteps, Klayr opened her eyes, smiled at Roy, turned around and hid in a sheltered spot, leaning against the cold wall alongside Roy.

"Come with me to the First Mine tomorrow," Roy said, glancing at Klayr.

Klayr agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

Roy put a hand on his shoulder and said to him:

"I need you to wait for Leishande at the First Mine First Mine. He should arrive there in the next few days. When he does, I need you to take a batch of spinel and go back to Padesto City with Leishande. You need to give some of the spinel to the Silver Pegasus Legion's headquarters and take the rest to Castleton. I know you have a way to exchange these spinel for Magic Crystal Stone."

Klayr hadn't expected this kind of task and immediately listened carefully.

Roy continued:

"I estimate that the fighting here will continue for a long time, and I will not be able to leave the Pagisto Plateau for the time being, so I can only leave this matter to you."

He took a deep breath and said:

"The spinel we gave to the military can be exchanged for some military supplies. As for the Magic Crystal Stone we brought to Castleton, I need you to help me get a batch of Elf Biscuit and magic potions. Also, try to get some Tree of Life Sap from the Black Market. Without the support of the priests of the Moon God Temple, Woods and I alone cannot heal all the Half-Elf Warrior. If we could get some Tree of Life Sap and Healing Potion, we should be able to deal with many bad situations..."

Klayr then realized that Roy didn't intend for him to come back; instead, he wanted to help him gather some military rations and Healing Potion in Castleton City.

"Wait, are you going to send me back?"

Roy smiled and said to Klayr, "You are a Silvermoon Elven Nobles, so entrusting many things to you will save a lot of trouble. Moreover, these matters are very important, as they relate to the combat deployment of the Half-Elf on the Pagisto Plateau for a long time to come."

Klayr scratched her head and replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Roy put his arm around Klayr's shoulder and said with a smile, "I knew you'd help me!"

'Plop plop...'

A sound of wings flapping in the night sky drifted over.

As a griffin suddenly landed on the city wall from the night sky, one after another followed suit. It must have been because the lights on the city wall were relatively bright that the griffins landed on the City Wall, and soon the City Wall was crowded with griffins.

Some Half-Elf hunters jumped down from the griffins' leather saddles, then removed the saddles from the griffins and fed them some Unicorn Wild Ox before letting them rest on the castle City Wall and Arrow Tower, instantly making the City Wall crowded.

Chief Tiprado led a group of Half-Elf hunters to feed the griffins. Kaka and Little Eugene mingled in the crowd, moving the leather saddle to a shelf and setting it up.

Flying at night is too dangerous for griffins, so they go out at dawn to bring back the Assassin Squad...

Roy approached Chief Tiprado and said, "Get some rest! Tomorrow will be even busier than today. The griffins might have a tough few days ahead, so be sure to let me know if you encounter any problems..."

"These griffins are full of energy; they should have no problem flying a round trip to Padesto City!" Chief Tiprado said with a smile.

"After bringing the Assassin Squad back tomorrow morning, we'll head to the First Mine to transport another batch of supplies. We'll probably stop at the North Mithril Mine along the way," Roy briefly explained the itinerary.

"No problem," Chief Tiprado replied immediately.

After explaining things to the Griffon Corps, Roy went to find Mulin.

She was on night duty on the City Wall tonight, and the Half-Elf Warrior on the City Wall were also brought by Mulin from the Second Mine.

Almost all the Half-Elf Warrior at the North Black Iron Mine are injured, so they won't be assigned to night duty for a while...

Mulin was wearing standard armor, and even had a face shield, making her look quite imposing.

"Mulin, I need to take the Griffon Corps back to the First Mine to transport another batch of military supplies. I also need to arrange some other things. You will be in charge of the Black Iron Mine for the time being. You should be back by tonight at the latest."

"Okay, Boss," Mulin said crisply.

Just as dawn was breaking, Chief Tiprado led the Griffon Corps Legion to bring back the members of the Assassin Squad from the North Slope of Aidasi Mountain.

Almost every Dark Moon Elf Warrior carried several headhunter's War Blade on their backs. Many Dark Moon Elf Warrior were wounded and only received simple bandages. These assassins wore leather armor, but the leather armor looked as if it had been pulled out of blood. It was unknown how many headhunters they had killed.

Such nighttime raids are only effective when headhunters are off guard.

Once they become wary, the Assassin Squad won't be as effective.

However, with the Griffon Corps cooperating with them this time, the headhunters never expected that hiding in the north of Aidasi Mountain would still be caught up by the Assassin Squad. Apart from the campfire, they were almost completely unprepared... which is why they suffered a great loss.

When Roy saw Vice Captain Tennyson, he noticed that Tennyson's eyes were bloodshot.

Moira, exhausted, leaped from a griffin. Her Spike-tailed Crystal Lion Leather Armor wasn't stained with too much blood, but her body was covered in bloodstains...

Seeing Roy waiting at the stairwell, Moira instinctively tried to walk around him, but Roy stopped her.

Moira clutched her Thrust Sabre nervously, looking at Roy pitifully like a child who had done something wrong. "What's wrong?"

Roy tidied Moira's disheveled hair and whispered, "I don't really want you to go on an adventure with the Assassin Squad tonight, but if you insist on going with them, be careful."

Seeing that Roy didn't completely object to her joining the Assassin Squad on the mission, Moira secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay!"

Actually, she's been under a lot of psychological pressure lately.

Lying in bed with my eyes closed, all I could see in my mind were the hideous faces and gruesome deaths of those headhunters.

Sometimes when she really couldn't sleep, she would ask Miss Tiffany to hum a song in her ear to help her fall asleep.

Moira has matured a lot in the past few days.

She had never imagined before that life could be so fragile, whether it was the headhunters or the elves...

Besides the Griffon Corps, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany, Klayr also accompanied Roy to the First Mine.

In the morning, a large flock of griffins took off from the North Black Iron Mine. They soared into the sky and flew south out of the Gaxi Mountain Range, arriving at the northern part of the Sudaso Mountain Range.

Roy sat behind Kaka, whose Kaka flew at the very front of the griffin formation. When Roy saw the North Mithril Mine through the clouds, he patted Kaka on the shoulder and pointed downwards, signaling him to descend a little.

Kaka didn't know how he transmitted the message to the griffin, but he heard the griffin let out a sharp, piercing cry before plunging into the clouds.

Looking down at the vast expanse of bare rocky mountains from high above, it was indeed possible to spot some headhunters in the northern part of the Sudaso Mountain Range, and there happened to be over a thousand headhunters gathered at the North Mithril Mine.

Headhunters can even be seen on the City Wall, but the city walls are currently controlled by the Half-Elf.

The elves stood shoulder to shoulder on the City Wall, one hand holding a longsword and the other holding Zinc Ingot that looked like bricks. When they saw headhunters climbing up from below, they immediately smashed these Metal Ingots down.

Metal Ingots flying down from the city wall would smash into headhunters, breaking bones and tendons even if they were wearing leather armor...

Beneath the City Wall of the North Mithril Mine, there were already piles of blood-stained Metal Ingots, among which were the corpses of some Metal Ingots.

Although a group of headhunters was still attacking the city, their offensive was much weaker than that of the headhunters at the North Black Iron Mine.

Perhaps due to insufficient manpower, dozens of headhunters would rush to the city wall each time, only to be injured by Metal Ingots thrown down from the City Wall.

Roy gestured for Kaka to fly lower, and many headhunters noticed the Griffon Corps in the air, pointing and whispering about them.

The Half-Elf on the City Wall of the North Mithril Mine also watched the Griffon Corps in the sky with great vigilance. It wasn't until Kaka landed on the City Wall with Roy that the Half-Elf here recognized Roy.

A large flock of griffins swooped down, hovering above the headhunters' heads...

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh...'

Led by the village chief Tiprado, the Half-Elf hunters atop the griffins began raining arrows down on the headhunters outside the castle from high above.

Although the Griffon Corps only had 150 Griffins, and the rain of arrows was sparse, these arrows falling from the sky still caused considerable trouble for the headhunters.

Several headhunters threw Short Flying Spear into the air, but unfortunately, these Short Flying Spear couldn't reach the griffins at all.

On the contrary, many headhunters had several arrows stuck in their bodies. These headhunters shouted and yelled, and tried to use their shields and stone slabs to dodge the arrows falling from the sky, but many headhunters were still hit by the rain of arrows.

Moreover, this rain of arrows continued for a while, showing no sign of stopping.

At this point, the headhunters who had been passively taking hits finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to run north.

To avoid the rain of arrows, they scattered...

The thousands of headhunters surrounding the North Mithril Mine were driven away in this way Qian Ning Sitney stood on the city wall, watching Roy stride quickly towards her from the opposite side. A bitter smile appeared on her face, but this time... she had made the right bet.

Roy was followed by Klayr, Sabrina, and Miss Tiffany.

"How long have these headhunters been here?" Roy asked Qian Ning Sitney.

"They appeared a week ago, but there were very few then. Three days ago, thousands of headhunters gathered outside..."

Qian Ning said.
