Sun Island Bay

In the sky, a group of Griffon Cavalry flew over the Stalagmite Forest.

Led by the village chief Tiprado, the Griffon Cavalry lined up and then flew into the clouds.

Moments later, the Griffon Cavalry fell one after another from the thick clouds.

After the griffins activated their ' Iron Will ', they crashed down like solid iron bullets, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound.

The flying pebbles formed a line, blasting open a road through the Stalagmite Forest.

The stalagmites that the griffins touched turned into rubble, and the aftershocks of the explosion destroyed a large area of the surrounding Stalagmite Forest.

A series of loud bangs followed, and flying shards of rock even drew blood from Roy's cheek.

This is the griffins' most powerful magic, turning their bodies completely into steel, making them resemble giant cannonballs when they crash down...

Standing at the edge of the jungle, Roy looked at the scene of flying pebbles and suddenly had a feeling that he was in the era when a group of bombers were dropping bombs from the sky and carrying out carpet bombing.

No wonder the griffin is classified as a level four magical beast!

To be honest, their usual strength is far inferior to that of a level three magical beast.

Despite their powerful bodies and strong flying abilities, most level-three magical beasts are actually much stronger than griffins.

In terms of combat power, the griffins are not even comparable to some level two peak magical beasts, such as Crystallized Lizard, Crystal Lion, and White Rock Rhino rhinoceroses.

Roy always felt that the griffon should be downgraded by one level in the Warcraft encyclopedia.

But now, when he saw the griffins falling like cannonballs, leveling a Stalagmite Forest, he immediately changed his opinion of them...

Roy couldn't help but ask himself: if this kind of air raid isn't powerful enough, then what kind of air raid would be? Roy stepped into the stone path cleared by the Griffon Cavalry, braving the swirling dust...

One by one, the griffins emerged from the crater after their Iron Will was broken, looking somewhat weak and powerless...

The Griffon Cavalry pulled on the reins and dragged them out of the pit, trying to get them back into the sky.

Roy found Kaka covered in dust amidst the choking fumes. Kaka was comforting the adult griffin beside him. It was clear that casting the ' Iron Will ' spell had taken a heavy toll on its body, and it was temporarily unable to fly.

Roy walked over to Kaka, Kaka turned to Roy with a bitter smile and said:

"Haven't you always wondered why, even with all these griffins, we still can't defeat those mermen on the coastline?"

He turned and stroked the weakened griffin, then said, "The answer is here. When we bombed the Fishmen Village, although we were able to inflict some heavy damage on the Fishmen Monster Fishmen Monster, we were also surrounded by them. Those guys are fearless and charge in from all directions, making it very difficult for us to defend ourselves..."

"These Fishmen Monster have now taken over the entire coastline of Sun Island Bay. The Half-Elf in this jungle can't go to Sun Island Bay to fish normally, so they can only stay in this jungle. When they hunt, besides the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, there is also the Blackwater Swamp to the east."

Roy walked over to the griffin, looked at its weakened state, and asked Kaka, "Did they drain all the magical power from their bodies, causing them to become so weak?"

Kaka thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "That's about right."

Roy circled the griffin, staring intently at the saddle on its back, before saying to Kaka, "Have you ever thought that if the griffins' own Magic Power isn't enough to support them in casting ' Iron Will,' why can't we help them? For example, when they use ' Iron Will,' we could use external force to continuously channel magic power into their bodies, so they might not fall into extreme weakness!"

Kaka's eyes lit up, then his expression darkened as he said:

"You mean Magic Inscription Construct? That's certainly a good idea, but Magic Inscription Construct is too expensive, and we don't even have a way to buy it..."

Roy quickly corrected him, "I didn't mean to Magic Inscription Construct. I meant to install Gemstone Base on the saddle, and then engrave the simplest magic conversion runes on it. The Magic Rune Array on the saddle would then convert the energy on the Magic Crystal Stone into magic power and send it into the griffins' bodies. You can think of the saddle as a Gemstone Base, and the griffin itself as a Magic Rune Array."

"Roy, your idea seems like it could work..." Kaka's eyes lit up as she excitedly told Roy.

"Wait, let's talk about this later. Come on, let's see how the tunnel is progressing!"

Roy put one arm around Kaka's shoulder and walked with him down the tunnel towards the bottom of the cliff.

Walking along this nearly ten-meter-wide passage, the griffins all seemed to be in a weakened state, Half-Elf cavalrymen stood beside them, constantly comforting them.

The road was made up of one large pit after another, but that wasn't a problem for Roy. He just needed to wait for the Half-Elf Warrior to slide down from the cliff top and then gather people to pave the road again.

Along the way, Roy even came up with a completely new way of fighting.

However, whether this tactic can be implemented depends on whether the griffins can recover quickly...

The Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment prepared thirty ropes on the cliff face, and they quickly slid down from the top of the cliff to the bottom.

The first Half-Elf Warrior to reach the bottom of the valley immediately began clearing the path through the Stalagmite Forest...

After passing through the Stalagmite Forest, the Mine Guard Regiment entered a dense forest.

This is the dense forest on the west side of Sun Island Bay. Sun Island Bay is like a miniature version of the Bohai Bay. This sea area is surrounded by land on three sides, and only connects to the sea to the south.

In the middle of this sea is a round island, which the Half-Elf call Sun Island. Therefore, this bay is also called Sun Island Bay by the Half-Elf.

This dense forest is very vast. In addition to being closely connected with the fault zone here, if you go east for a few dozen kilometers, you will see the southern foot of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range. Looking eastward along the southern foot of the mountains for hundreds of kilometers, you will see this kind of dense forest.

The jungle here is rather humid and hot. When there is no wind, the air feels damp, salty, and musty.

The trees in the forest were covered with moss, and many trees had begun to rot even before they withered. Broken and fallen trees were also everywhere in the jungle.

There weren't many weeds in the woodland; it was covered with moss, making it wet and slippery.

Ferns grow in abundance here, and some parasitic vines are also closely connected to certain large trees, completely obscuring the ground...

Kaka's village is located in this jungle, but it's quite far from this pass.

As the group emerged from the Stalagmite Forest, Roy instructed the Half-Elf Warrior to clear a large open space at the edge of the jungle. When the other Half-Elf Warrior arrived in a hurry, they quickly pulled out tents from their backpacks and set up camp at the edge of the jungle without Roy even needing to give any instructions.

The elves loved these dense, sunless jungles. After traveling for several days, they set up camp in the jungle to rest, and every Half-Elf Warrior had a happy expression on their face.

While the Half-Elf Warrior were setting up their tents, Roy didn't stay in the camp to rest. Instead, he was carried by Kaka's griffin and flew directly to the beach in Sun Island Bay.

This jungle is actually quite vast. If the Mine Guard Regiment want to cross the jungle from the Stalagmite Forest to reach the beach at Sun Island Bay, it would take them at least two days to hike to see the sea.

The jungle vegetation becomes denser the further south you go.

The vast blue sea in the distance, viewed from high above, looks like a piece of clean blue glass.

The shape of the sea surface is somewhat similar to a seashell, with a long coastline forming a perfect arc. The coastline is composed of white sand beaches, and on these beaches, Roy saw some Fishmen Monster. The stilted thatched huts they built were scattered almost all along the coastline.

As for those Fishmen Monster, they can be seen everywhere.

According to Kaka, these Fishmen Monster originally lived on Sun Island. However, in this sea area, they had almost no natural enemies, and the fishery resources were abundant. The Fishmen Monster did not have to worry about food. As a result, the Fishmen Monster with strong reproductive capabilities quickly developed on Sun Island.

Subsequently, these Fishmen Monster slowly spread to the surrounding seas, gradually occupying the coastline of Sun Island Bay.

These Fishmen Monster are far less powerful than the Half-Elf, and because they are of a demi-human race, the adult Fishmen Monster have the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child. Their lives are entirely driven by desire...

These Fishmen Monster don't even have their own language.

They even lived in caves on Sun Island, only learning to build thatched huts when they reached the edge of the coastline...

Roy had actually seen these Fishmen Monster in the Empress Ivini Islands...

Although the Fishmen Monster here are somewhat different in appearance from Fishmen Monster in the Endless Sea, the only difference is the color of their scales; their other features are exactly the same.

They go out to sea to fish every day. Once they've caught enough to eat, they carry their fish out of the sea and begin to enjoy their leisure time...

These Fishmen Monster all have the bodies of fish, but they also have thin limbs, are covered in scales, have sharp teeth in their mouths, and even have gills on their faces.

The Fishmen Monster on the beach sat in groups of three or five, looking quite content.

When those fish- Fine Steel walked on the beach, they almost always swayed and moved very slowly, but when they entered the sea, their arms and legs immediately spread out and turned into Flippers, allowing them to swim freely in the sea...

Roy, sitting behind Kaka, asked, "Are you all at a loss because of these Fishmen Monster?"

"We've tried several methods, but they've all had little effect. There's just too much of them..." Kaka said helplessly.

"Is this coastline so long, almost entirely occupied by these Fishmen Monster?" Roy asked again.

"Yes, all the coastlines are in the hands of the Fishmen Monster..."

Kaka carried Roy at low altitude. The Fishmen Monster recognized the griffins and, upon seeing them, immediately climbed onto the Lookout Platform's pavilion and roof, picked up their weapons, and hurled them at Kaka and the griffins.

Kaka immediately pulled on the reins, making the griffin fly higher...

The griffins flapped their wings vigorously, flying upwards and successfully avoiding the wooden harpoons thrown by the Fishmen Monster.

When some Fishmen Monster saw Kaka fly into the sky, they immediately climbed onto the Lookout Platform and rooftops. These Fishmen Monster revealed their ferocious appearance, constantly grinning to show their sharp teeth, and raising their Short Flying Spear to taunt the Half-Elf cavalry.

The fish-man Fine Steel was covered in scales that shimmered in the sunlight.

They weren't afraid of the Half-Elf at all; in fact, they would even take the initiative to fight back when they saw the Half-Elf Griffon Cavalry...

After surveying the area around the beach, Roy and Kaka returned to their temporary camp at the edge of the jungle.

Stepping off the griffin, Roy turned to Kaka and said, "We'll rest here for two days, then head to the beach..."

Roy said this, and Kaka had no objection.

The Mine Guard Regiment rested for two days at their camp on the edge of the dense forest.

In the past two days, the Half-Elf not only cleared a path through the Stalagmite Forest, but also secured the ropes on the cliff.

Roy then led the mine guards to pack up the camp tents and entered the dense forest first.

Thanks to the Griffon Cavalry transporting supplies, Roy's Mine Guard had no shortage of supplies.

Just as Roy had predicted, it took the Half-Elf Warrior two days to cross the dense forest. They did not openly camp on the edge of the coastline, but instead camped in the jungle.

Roy then led a group of Half-Elf to get closer and observe these Fishmen Monster. They passed through a thicket of trees and, through the dense foliage, immediately saw the silver beach.

Those mermen in Fine Steel were strolling back and forth on the beach...

Although they belong to the subhuman race, their hearing is perfectly fine. They heard some sounds in the jungle and immediately sent two Fishmen Monster to sneak over. The two Fishmen Monster had a lot of trouble walking through the tall grass.

However, we still made it through step by step.

A group of Fishmen Monster spotted the tent hidden behind the bushes and immediately let out some low growls.

Then these Fishmen Monster could no longer control themselves, and they all drew their weapons and rushed towards Roy's camp...

Roy was startled by the shouts of battle emanating from the Fishmen Monster. When he turned around and crawled out of the tent, he saw a group of Fishmen Monster rushing towards him. The Half-Elf Warrior also drew their swords and shields, and the two sides immediately clashed.
