Chapter 25 (2/2)

As the saying went, ‘worry leads to chaos’. His aunt worried too much about him.

Just then, in the outer area of the Heavenly Night Forest.

Thousands of elves wearing silver armor were holding bows and arrows that were aimed straight at the human knights.

In front of them were more than 20 thousand human knights dressed in red armor and holding spears. An aggressive aura emanated from them as they surrounded Heavenly Night Forest.

Each of them had the strength of a Middle-level swordsman.

The horses they rode were abnormally tall and covered in black scales. It was obvious that they were not ordinary horses.

However, what was most eye-catching was that there were three strange-looking creatures that had the head and wings of an eagle circling the horses.

These were the Sacred Continent’s famous griffins.

Adult griffins had just as much power as a swordsman of the highest level.

However, the three in front of them were not fully grown yet. They were only equivalent to a human Level 3 Swordsman.

Even so, the griffins, which were over two meters tall and five to six meters wide, still gave the elves a lot of pressure.

Of course, the person who was stopping the elves from moving was the figure standing on the griffin’s back.

On either side were the regimental commander and deputy regimental commander of the griffin Knights. Both of them were Level 9 Swordsmen.

The man standing on the griffin in the middle was a proud-looking man wearing a suit of golden armor and holding a red spear. He was Molma, regimental commander of the griffin Knights.

“Elf Elder, since when have you become so weak? Are you an imposter?”

The man standing on the back of the griffin on the left sneered.

“Finding some random scammer to pretend to be an Elf Elder so that we’ll retreat. Do you think the griffin Knights can be fooled that easily?”

“Today, I’ll teach you swindlers on behalf of the Elf Queen what will happen to you swindlers who taint the name of the elves.”

As soon as he finished speaking arrogantly, the deputy regimental commander signaled to his griffin. The moment the griffin received the signal, it extended its sharp claws and clawed at Elder Norton, who was already injured.

“Elder Norton, watch out!”

The expressions on the elves’ faces changed drastically.

They kept shooting arrows at the griffin, but the griffin was too fast and left afterimages in the air as it flew. No matter how accurately they aimed, they couldn’t hit the target.

They could only watch helplessly as the griffin’s claws clung onto Elder Norton.

At that moment, Elder Norton was leaning against an ancient tree and watching the claws fly toward him. When he moved slightly, he felt an intense pain travel all over his body. He had no strength left.

He could no longer fight back.

“Are you returning so soon to the embrace of the Forest God and reunite with Miele?” Norton laughed sadly as he slowly shut his eyes and said, “I’m sorry, My Queen. Please forgive me for not being able to assist you anymore.”

However, a blue arrow flew out from the forest just as the griffin’s claws were about to land on Norton’s body.

This flying arrow was cerulean and emitted a powerful force as it whistled towards and pierced the griffin’s eyes. The magic elements surrounding it trembled violently and made it even clearer that it held no small amount of power.

“How dare you!” It was then that the deputy regimental commander on the griffin’s back hurriedly steered his griffin around.

Griffins were extremely valuable, with just one of them costing more than an entire city. Their combat power would be greatly reduced if they lost an eye.

Blue combat aura surrounded the blade of the deputy regimental commander’s sword and clashed with the cerulean magic equipment on the flying arrow.

“Boom!”

A loud crash sounded, and the deputy regimental commander was sent flying as his sword broke down the middle. He slid more than ten meters away before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
