“What is that? What are they carrying? ”

“... A stone? ”

Black mass? ’

The Harpies were either going up empty-handed or down empty-handed.

Should I call that a ball? Or a small stone? A round object not unlike a toy orb.

“Queek!”

Boo!

“Did you throw it?”

The Harpies threw the strange object they were holding at the soldiers.

“Bar, shield! ”

“Get behind the shield! ”

Pussy!

Luckily, the entrance to the cave wasn't large enough, so a handful of shields stepped forward to defend against the Harpies. The unknown object they threw was crushed with a small shock when it hit the shield and released a concentrated liquid.

“... What the hell are these guys throwing at? ”

“Ugh! It smells terrible. ”

The soldiers checking for liquids grimace their noses at the stench of foul odor and turn back, frowning.

"Brown liquid... It's a little strange." ’

It was strange to think that it was easily broken and thrown to attack. If I'd thrown a stone, the damage would have been greater. Why would I throw something like that?

“Now, wait a minute! This can't be... ”

Despite the stench, the only soldier who looked at the liquid alone panicked and retreated.

“What's wrong with you? ”

“This... is Griffin's egg. I've seen it before. ”

“Griffin? You must be mistaken! ”

“No... It must be Griffin's egg! ”

Griffin?

When the word Griffin came out, it paused for a moment at point 12.

Me and the 7th Special Forces were confused without understanding the situation, and Panybullun soldiers were afraid of the brown liquid.

“What are you doing! Keep shooting at the monsters! And you, come here for a second. ”

The twelfth point commander encourages the soldiers to fire their bows back at the monsters and summons a soldier who knows it's Griffin's egg.

“Are you sure about that? This is really important. ”

“Yes. I worked for the Merchants Guild before I became a soldier, but I saw it then. That brown liquid and that nasty stench... It's definitely Griffin's egg. ”

“Huh... Then it's really bad. It's all an emergency! Hurry up with that liquid... ”

Kwaaaahhhh!

The monster's scream echoes from the sky before the commander's words are finished. However, it is much different from the monsters in the air that we have dealt with so far.

‘That's the minimum Ogre class. ’

I haven't seen him yet, but I can see that the owner of the monster is a predator in the Ogre ranks.

Let's take a look around and see if any soldiers are trembling after hearing the monsters.

The predator's roar had a provocative effect on the predator's fear, and that was his roar.

“… Uncle Max, are you okay? ”

Jeff looks fine to come, but Max doesn't look so good.

How serious his face was now worse than when he was stationed at 12 points.

“Ha... Kaiyan. ”

Uncle Max opened his mouth quietly and called out to me, his expression turned dark.

“Please.”

“Yes?”

All of a sudden, a pleasure.If you look at him, I would do anything for you, but you have to know what you're doing.

“Just like that Harpy guy blew his head off, make sure Griffin does the same. ”

“Oh, yeah. I will, so don't worry too much. ”

I don't know what a great guy named Griffin is, but he said he would do it first to calm down Uncle Max.

“Phew... Thank you. ”

Just then, Max's expression got a little better. That's how much you trust me.

After leaving Uncle Max behind and looking at the old knight, his expression seemed quite serious.

“Knight, what the hell is Griffin? ”

“Hmm... I don't know. I've only heard of it. I've never seen it. I heard he's a fierce one. ”

He's a fierce one.

There are no monsters that aren't violent. It must be terrible for an old knight not to know to put such an emphasis on that.

“Move quickly! Push the liquid out as far as you can! ”

Soldiers at point 12 make swift movements at the commander's command. They put the thick brown liquid in their leather pockets and began throwing it out.

“Oh, shit. Stupid Harpies! ”

“You dragged Griffin into this! ”

The soldiers were cursing at the Harpies together. But in that moment,

Whoo-hoo!

“Shhh! Shhh, help me! ”

“Ahhhh!”

‘ ……. ’

A pile of soldiers in allied armor falls from the sky.

Dozens of soldiers screamed for help in the crash, but unfortunately there is no way to help.

“Oh, shit! Move faster! ”

The soldiers who confirmed his appearance hurriedly dip the brown liquid in the leather and throw it out. Just like if you're a little late, you'll get in trouble.

‘Ogre grade.... There's a bit of damage, but he's not the one we can't deal with. ’

To be honest, I didn't understand the urgent actions of the soldiers.

Even if Griffin is the strongman of the Ogre rank, there's no reason why he couldn't hunt dozens of them at once.

At 12, there are a handful of knights, the last of whom Tarien brought in 300 infantry men, including 400 archers and a seventh special unit.

“Hmm……. ”

“Kaiyan, don't you understand why it's so noisy? ”

I opened my mouth a little bit as if it was stained from my face.

“Yeah, to be honest, I don't know why this Griffin guy showed up. ”

“Ha... Well, you're the first Panyvelun. That's because Griffin isn't a monster who appears on monster waves. ”

“Really? Now... ”

“It's the egg. Those Harpies, the drunks, they took Griffin's eggs. And then he threw it at us. I've done this before. That was when the Harpy Queen appeared. ”

“These guys are crazy. ”

So the Harpies stole Griffin's egg, a powerful monster, and left it to us. These guys are junkies. No. The Harpy Queen must have been leading the charge, so he's the smart one.

“A monster with intelligence... It's tricky. ”

It's dangerous. It's tricky. It was hard to understand when I heard it, but I think I know why Harpy Queens are dangerous. A way to defeat our enemies with the power of another.

The way the Harpy Queen behaves is very similar to Humans.

Kwaaaahhhh!

“Bar, right on top! ”

The monster that came from afar suddenly comes from just above.

They came down quickly, laughing at the other monsters who had been coming down for a long time.

‘Ogre class... I can't do it alone. First, let's use all skills. ’

There are soldiers and knights from the 7th Special Forces I've seen with my own hands and feet, so I'm confident I can catch them.

However, one catch is that the Ogres in the plains were not their main area.

What if the place that was dealing with them was a forest, not a plain?

The damage would have increased even if only one Ogre was captured, and perhaps the soldiers couldn't do it alone.

‘But Griffin is an aerial monster. ’

The situation is much more dangerous than an Ogre because they are fighting in their main place.

‘Enable error. Hold your breath. Concentrate. ’

I whispered a skill one by one, and it gave me a different level of power than when I just smashed the Harpy's skull.

I relished the power of the bow and pulled the demonstration to its end.

Yuck!

If there's one thing I regret, it's that the tension on the rope is too weak to bear all my strength.

You'll need a stronger bow to unleash all the power you can muster.

With the bow aimed at the entrance of the point, you wait for a moment, and you see a huge shadow of the projection.

“Kwaaaah!”

A creature that roars at the cave with its appearance.

The first Griffin I ever saw was a creature with the body of an animal and the head of a bird.

‘What a thrill.'

He was big, but the ferocity I felt in his eyes was amazing. Eyes of a common predator. It felt like he was looking at me for dinner.

“Take the shot!”

As he appeared, the twelfth point commander rushed to give orders to the archers.

Papa Pa Pa!

Hundreds of arrows, not a hundred this time.

I felt the will of the Panybullun soldiers to catch Griffin somehow. But...

Tsk, tsk!

“Oh, my God. ”

“Even Griffin, this is too much. ”

Blocked arrows in vain.

He didn't make wings like Giant Eagle. Hundreds of arrows bounce off the skin without piercing it, just standing still.

“How can I pierce such a hard hide! ”

“Don't you have to run away? ”

“Kwaaaah!”

“Fire your arrows again! Come on!"

A sigh filled with despair.

Soldiers tired of his sturdy hide lower their bows in spite of the Commander's orders.

‘I wonder if I can stop this. ’

But it's early to be disappointed. We still have one arrow left to shoot.

Thung!

The arrow leaves your hand.

An item that doesn't even show properly with its increased agility stat.

Griffin remains quite arrogant, whether he didn't recognize the arrow or didn't think he needed to avoid it.

Phew!

“Kiiaaaah!”

In the blink of an eye, an arrow pierces Griffin's hide and plunges it deep into one of his legs. He squeals, screaming at the fact that the arrow had dug into his body and the horrific pain.

“Good. Th-that's it? ”

You pause once more, trying to fire the arrow.

I knew Griffin would come at me angry, but he climbed up into the air as quickly as he did.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“He's getting away! ”

Running away? ’

The screams of the soldiers do not reach my ears in a situation that is too confusing.

It's a good thing that the arrows pierced his hide as much as all his power was invested, but it doesn't make sense for monsters to run away saying Griffin at the top of the formation was injured that much.

“Huh... You weren't the only one who used your sword. Well done.”

“I believed it. Kaiyan!”

“As expected……. ”

The old knights and men shook their shoulders and gave him a compliment with admiration, but nothing changed.

“… oh yeah. Thank you. Then why did he run away? It... wasn't that big of an injury. ”

Why would I call a monster a monster?

They may feel pain and fear even if they are hurt, but they are vicious monsters rushing to kill their enemies. The Goblin who used to fight me, smiled at my spear and wielded his sword. But Ogre-class monsters ran away!

“Khh, that's what you're saying because you don't know Kaiyan. ”

What do you mean, I don't know? ”

My serious face was funny and Max smiled.

“Griffin is the highest predator in the sky. And his greatest advantage is the hard hide that bounces off hundreds of arrows. ”

“Well... I saw that earlier. ”

“But you wounded that hide! It's impossible if it's not a knight! ”

“Your saliva... ”

Max enthusiastically explained to me, splashing his saliva on my face like when Gigi died.

“And with the arrows so deep, it won't hurt much! Have they ever suffered so much in their lives? That's why we're running away in a panic. ”

“Clearly... makes sense. ”

According to Max, Griffin is definitely a monster with pros and cons.

You were no match for one soldier because you have a hard hide, but on the contrary, if a knight turns up, he runs away in a little pain.

“Then Griffin's presence shouldn't be a problem. I don't understand why Panybullun soldiers fear him. ”

“Hmm... That's not it. ”

The old knight replied negatively, unlike I thought.

“Why do you think the screams of the soldiers keep coming from above?" You don't have knights? No, there are knights stationed at every branch. ”

“ ……. ”

Obviously, the screams of the soldiers upstairs have not ceased since Griffin arrived.

Why are the Allies still being defeated by guys who can be easily dealt with?

As the old knight said, knights stationed at the point should be able to easily hide him.

“Then why? ”

“Have you forgotten what the knights' weapons are? ”

“Weapons... aren't swords, of course? ”

I've heard of some unusual knights who use spears or maces as their primary weapon, but they're only a minority. Most knights use a sword.

“You're right. But the problem is, swords don't really help you catch monsters in the air. Even knights can't fly. ”

“So you're saying we can't attack them? ”

“Yes. It would be possible if you were good enough to make an error... but it's not uncommon for someone like that. Ah! Those who specialize in Panybulls will be able to do so. ”

"They"?

“Who are they? ”

“That's... Phew... I don't recall being that old. They're hunting Griffin anyway, but they're outnumbered, so they won't be able to protect every spot. ”

“I see...”

‘If Griffin decides to go after the soldiers, the damage will be severe. ’

Fewer than 20 articles were placed at the twelfth point.

Fifteen of them were knights from the 7th Special Forces, brought by Tarien. So there are fewer than five articles in the other branch on average.

‘They can't protect soldiers on their own. ’

Although the points are not large enough to compare with the battlefield, they are not small enough to perfectly protect the soldiers of over 500 knights.

Against airborne monsters.

‘But they will eventually get caught. ’

They won't be intelligent enough to run from knights and soldiers. The question is how to deal with the other monsters in the meantime.

“It's like... seeing an Orc Road. Shake things up. ”

Named Monster Harpy Queen.

Again, it's not easy.
