Chapter 979: Chapter 980: Misunderstanding_1

If Song Jian had killed these griffins, although he could occupy the griffin nest, he would have had to wait a day to recruit griffins as troops—recruitment could only take place the next day. However, if he managed to make these griffins submit, they would immediately join Song Jian’s army.

Under the threat of death, three griffins chose to submit, while one griffin refused to surrender and was killed by the spearmen. These soldiers were also able to gain proficiency by killing enemies, which allowed for promotion. Two spearmen had advanced to level three, and four to level two.

Song Jian checked the attributes of the griffins. As level three troops, their attributes were a big step above the spearmen’s, but correspondingly, the battle experience required for leveling up had also increased substantially.

Griffin: Attack 13, Defense 8, Skill: Lightning Strike

Normal spearmen attacking a griffin couldn’t even break its defense, and each attack could only forcibly reduce one point of health. Only when using the Phalanx Stab skill could they pose a threat to the griffins.

The execution of the Phalanx Stab skill required a certain number of spearmen. The attack of each spearman could stack according to a specific ratio—the more spearmen there were, the higher the damage from Phalanx Stab. Once the number reached a certain level, even simple level one troops could threaten higher-level troops.

The griffin’s Lightning Strike skill must be the same one that had been unleashed earlier, with the flapping of wings and shooting of lightning arrows. This skill was extremely powerful, not only causing high damage but also triggering a paralyzing effect; with just one strike, it severely wounded ten spearmen, rendering them unable to continue fighting.

With the addition of three griffins, the strength of the army led by Song Jian increased significantly. However, for him, this increase in strength was dispensable; he was merely preparing for the bigger battles to come.

“Let go of those griffins, they’re my prey!” Just as Song Jian was about to lead his army away to continue exploring, an angry growl suddenly came from not too far away.

Looking up, he saw a female knight wearing a bright red cape over a thin breastplate appear within his sight.

Examinees?

Song Jian narrowed his eyes. Had he already encountered another camp’s examinees so quickly? He knew that there was only one examinee from the human camp.

But quickly, Song Jian realized that she was not an examinee, but a native of the Assessment World, apparently also a hero.

Behind the female knight, there were fifty or sixty spearmen and archers, along with seven or eight crusaders.

Song Jian’s gaze fell on the group of crusaders, who looked like they were clad in tin cans, the fourth level troop type for the human camp, equivalent to heavy infantry. In addition to their heavy armor, they also had broadswords and metal shields; their attack and defense were both exceptionally formidable.

Turning to look back at his own ranks, Song Jian noticed that his army seemed rather shabby in comparison. Was this probably the reason the female knight dared to threaten him to relinquish the griffin nest, even after he had already occupied it?

“Recruiting heroes doesn’t necessarily have to take place in a tavern. If you encounter them in the wild and defeat them, you can make them submit.” Song Jian’s gaze turned toward the female knight mounted on a sorrel steed, a meaningful smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

Caitlin felt that today was indeed her lucky day. She had merely come out with her troops for a casual stroll to clear her head, and she had encountered a wild griffin nest.

She had just learned how to train griffin riders from a dwarf master, and unexpectedly, she had come across a griffin nest. It seemed that the goddess of luck was truly watching over her.

“If I could train griffin knights, maybe I could make this unit my specialty!” The thought of a specialty unit excited Catelyn.

If she really could make commanding griffin knights her forte, then perhaps her father wouldn’t stop her from entering the battlefield, becoming a true female officer.

“Foreigner, I now command you to abandon this wild griffin’s nest!” Catelyn said sternly, “As a reward for finding them, you may leave here with the three griffins you have already subdued.”

Once wild units are subdued, they rarely betray their masters, unless morale falters and they flee during battle. To seize control of another’s units, one must expend a great deal of time and energy. Compared to occupying a wild nest capable of producing griffin units daily, these three subdued griffins were insignificant.

“My lady, are you attempting to rob me? This is a grave offense to a lord!” Song Jian said with a smile, snapping his fingers. The soldiers behind him immediately formed a battle array. Even the three newly joined griffins spread their wings and let out threatening screeches.

“Are you planning to fight me?” Seeing his actions, Catelyn’s face was filled with surprise. It’s well known that a hero’s strength is directly proportional to their army. The opponent had only a shabby ten pikemen and three newly subdued griffins. For some reason, the griffins, which should have appeared demoralized, were full of fighting spirit. However, how could such an army be a match for her own?

“Could it be he does not recognize the Crusader knights?” A ludicrous thought suddenly crossed Catelyn’s mind. Even the eight Crusader knights she led could defeat the opponent’s forces, not to mention she also had fifty-eight pikemen and archers.

After assessing the relative strength of their forces, Catelyn became furious. Brandishing her sword at Song Jian, she declared, “Foreigner, you will be punished for your arrogance! To battle!”

Her troops immediately formed a charge array and roared in anger.

The roar of dozens indeed sounds much more imposing than that of ten, but to Song Jian, Catelyn’s army was hardly worth mentioning.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art!

Song Jian brandished the Sky-breaking Sword and released the Thousand Swords Art toward a distant cliff. Hundreds of Spirit Swords materialized in the air, densely packed and flying toward the cliff;

Boom~

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and due to the intense blast, the cliff near the griffin nest trembled thunderously. Two newly born griffins cried out in terror, their voices immature.

Catelyn’s eyes and mouth were wide open in shock. Only then did she realize that the one who had subdued a griffin nest and three griffins with just ten pikemen, if not possessing immense strength, how could he have managed such a feat?

Looking at the nearly flattened distant cliff, a look of fear and regret appeared in Catelyn’s eyes.

“I was blinded by greed and lost my wisdom, provoking such a powerful person!” Catelyn thought regretfully. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Now she was considering how to retreat unscathed before such a formidable hero, rather than coveting his griffin nest.

“I think, this may have been a misunderstanding.” A charming smile appeared on Catelyn’s face, and her voice became much softer.
