Chapter 978: Chapter 979: Griffon_1

Hell’s faction was the second after the human faction to discover the main city of a faction. Although it had not yet been occupied, the examinees from other factions felt an urgent sensation in their hearts. Almost all the examinees used their strength on exploration, not bothering to actively occupy resource points even when they found them.

After all, those resource points were simply there. As long as they were properly marked, they could be occupied later. But finding the main city one day earlier would mean gaining a slightly greater advantage;

The very next morning, all the examinees from Hell’s faction swarmed towards the main city, the Demon Castle. After repeated attacks, this Demon Castle was finally occupied by Hell’s faction, and Prince Salar rightfully became the master of this castle.

On the second day, as soon as Song Jian’s strength recovered, he set off to continue his exploration. Because he had a mount, his speed of movement was twice that of other examinees. However, no matter what, he was only one person and his efficiency was definitely far less than the other factions.

This time, Song Jian chose a different direction to continue exploring. There were too many unexplored areas around him, and in order to save energy, he decided to open up all the resource points nearby before venturing further afield;

Today, Song Jian seemed to have picked a good route; he found plentiful resources along the way, and in just half a day, he acquired two granaries, one pasture, one timber yard, and two mining sites.

Continuing to explore forward, Song Jian suddenly heard a sharp screech in the sky, where a creature with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and a pair of white wings on its back was flying.

“A griffin?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes and looked up into the sky. This creature seemed to be a third-tier unit for the human faction, the griffin, which was far stronger than ordinary spearmen and archers. A single griffin could at least defeat more than ten spearmen or archers, making it one of the stronger units in the human faction;

All this information Song Jian had found in the City Lord Mansion, and the Griffin Tower that bred griffins could also be built in the human main city, although it would have to wait until the City Lord Mansion was upgraded to level six. Moreover, a certain amount of the special resource, gemstones, was needed to build it;

The most important aspect was, if they could capture a griffin, they could train the human faction’s special unit, the Griffin Knight, which was a powerful unit second only to the highest-tiered unit of the humans, the Archangel, and capable of fighting the Giant Dragon.

“Is there a wild griffin stronghold here?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.

Today, Song Jian had recruited five more spearmen, but spearmen were, after all, only a first-tier unit of the human faction, merely capable of bullying non-combat personnel like peasants. If they encountered the wild beast army led by the mutated unicorn he had faced before, these spearmen would probably not even be a match for those wild beasts one-on-one;

Despite Song Jian’s formidable strength, he urgently needed some higher-level units to counter the threats from other factions;

Song Jian led ten spearmen towards the area where the griffins were located, and soon, they saw a griffin’s nest on a cliff not far away;

Aside from the griffin flying in the sky, there were three adult griffins and two young griffins in the nest. For Song Jian, their overall strength wasn’t very formidable.

“Soldiers, attack!” Song Jian waved towards the griffin’s nest and commanded;

“With the resolve to break the enemy’s ranks, we fear death not!” a group of spearmen roared and launched their attack on the griffin’s nest;

Song Jian was somewhat speechless: “…, you guys really know how to psych yourselves up. Could it be you can also evolve a Zhao Xin?”

Sensing the threat, four adult griffins confronted them. It was clear that although there were fewer griffins, in terms of strength, they completely overwhelmed the ten spearmen.

Phalanx!

With a roar, all the spearmen quickly formed a square formation and thrust their long spears at the griffin charging at the forefront;

Beams of white light burst forth from each spear, converging into a massive spear phantom that ruthlessly plunged into the griffin’s chest, instantly splattering blood. With just a single strike, the griffin was grievously wounded, stumbling backward to crash against a rock, losing its ability to continue fighting;

“Huh?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, not expecting that the spearmen, who were initially just cannon fodder, would have the strength to inflict severe damage on a third-tier creature. It seemed that low-tier creatures should not be underestimated. If they were present in sufficient numbers, they could still pose a threat to high-tier creatures.

Just then, a griffin suddenly flapped its wings, and streaks of plasma began to flow on its feathers, gathering continuously. The air erupted with the sizzling sound of electricity zapping.

Whoosh~

With the flapping of the griffin’s wings, streams of electricity shot out like a barrage of arrows, striking the spearmen and causing ten of them to tumble over, directly incapacitated from continuing the fight;

Song Jian’s smile immediately froze on his face, not expecting that just as he had started to revise his opinion of the lower-tier spearmen, reality slapped him hard across the face;

“Retreat!” Song Jian immediately ordered. Due to the effect of their high morale, even if it came down to the death of every last man, these spearmen would not retreat a single step until the entire army was annihilated.

Song Jian did not wish for them all to die in battle. He gently nudged the unicorn, signaling it to step forward.

The unicorn, from the moment the griffins appeared, became restless, constantly yearning to charge into the fray, but under Song Jian’s control, it could only stay put;

Now, having received the command to charge, the unicorn let out a joyful neigh, wings unfurling as it galloped toward the griffins with lightning speed.

Seeing Song Jian joining the fray, the remaining three griffins immediately abandoned the severely wounded spearmen and turned to pounce toward Song Jian, knowing that only by defeating him could they end this battle;

Zap~

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot out from the unicorn’s horn, striking one of the griffins. However, the griffin merely staggered mid-air and was not seriously harmed. Being creatures that could also wield electric magic, they possessed a high resistance to lightning attacks;

Song Jian gently tapped the unicorn’s back and leaped into the air with Flame Light Wings emerging behind him, brandishing the Sky-breaking Sword as he charged toward the three griffins;

The griffins’ beaks were sharp as swords, and their claws were also exceedingly sharp. Even without their lightning magic, these spearmen stood no chance against them.

Song Jian dodged the beak strike of one griffin and, with a swift motion, cleaved the Sky-breaking Sword into the nearest one, causing blood to splatter. The wounded griffin did not shrink back but instead became even more ferocious, reaching out with its sharp claws toward Song Jian in a fierce swipe;

The sharp claws left several white marks on the Warlord’s armor but failed to inflict significant damage on Song Jian, who took the opportunity to land several more cuts on it;

In a brief three-minute mid-air struggle, Song Jian brought down each of the three griffins to the ground. The mutant unicorn kept emitting threatening growls at the several seriously injured griffins, eager to pounce, seemingly excited by the prospect of bullying creatures of comparable strength.

Song Jian slowly descended, holding the Sky-breaking Sword, and pointed it toward the grievously wounded griffins, demanding, “Submit, or die?”
