Chapter 105 Frost Flame Gryphon
North of Xilan Mountains, Snow Crown Mountain.
As the seat of Osfir City, the terrain of Snow Crown Mountain has been comprehensively observed by Theos, Valk, Erso and others. Among the many terrains in the Xilan Mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also the easiest to defend and difficult to attack.
That batch exists.
But at this time, a group of uninvited guests came to the peaceful and peaceful Xueguan Mountain.
Looking down from the sky, densely packed large birds, at least thousands of them, are flying above the clusters of red-roofed houses in Osfir City.
When I got closer, I realized that this was not a big bird. In fact, their name was quite famous - gryphon.
Griffins have the strong bodies of lions, but their heads, forelimbs and torsos are those of eagles. They are ferocious in temperament, attack as quickly and fiercely as a falcon, and are as powerful as a lion.
They generally live on rock cliffs and hunt in nearby plains and forests, feeding on horses and ground animals.
It is true that the city of Osfir is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it cannot defend itself against enemies from the air. At this moment, thousands of griffons are hovering over the city, doing whatever they want.
On the houses and white walls of the city, the defenders of Osfir are trying to teach these rude guests who came without invitation a lesson.
"Quick! Come in! What are you doing standing still? Hurry!" Clay leaned against a section of the stone wall with his back and shouted.
In front of Clay, there were several kobold soldiers wearing light armor. Under Clay's shout, they ran towards Clay in a panic.
Clay was currently in a half-collapsed house with a big hole in the wall. Several kobolds jumped over the wall and hid behind it.
"Gah!" A sharp and penetrating cry came, and immediately after, a shadow quickly cast in the sky.
A gryphon swooped down.
However, since several people hid in the wall in time, if the gryphon did not want to hit the other half of the wall that had not completely collapsed, it could only quickly rise after a simple attempt.
"Ah! My shield!"
A kobold soldier was holding a half-length iron shield on his head. Unexpectedly, the shield was grabbed by the gryphon and flew into the sky with it.
"It's a good thing you let go, otherwise, you could experience the feeling of flying in the air." Clay said with a smile.
Although Clay was still in the mood to joke, several kobolds were very discouraged.
In just half a day, the city of Osfir was turned into a mess by this group of griffins.
And they are not elites, they are just reserve recruits who are doing some side jobs part-time while trying to get on-the-job training.
For example, when the Griffins invaded, they were responsible for transporting some military supplies to the foot of Snowcrown Mountain.
"These big birds move too fast, and they keep flying in the sky, so they can't be hit!" complained a kobold recruit.
None of them have yet successfully joined the ranks. Most of them are ordinary soldiers around level 2 at the moment, and they cannot face the griffins at all.
You should know that griffins are also extremely outstanding among large beasts in nature, usually around level 7.
"Don't be discouraged, things are far from that bad." Clay comforted them. "Now, we need to do everything we can."
"According to the regulations of the Defense Committee, in this emergency, you need to follow my command, do you all understand?"
"Understood! Captain Clay!" the kobolds said in unison.
They all learned this in the new military camp. In a situation like this, they should not stick to the original organization, but should obey the command according to their military rank and join the battle as soon as possible.
"But, can we do it?" The kobold who had just lost his shield doubted in his heart, and he really lacked confidence.
These griffins are condescending and fly in the air to deal with their short legs. They are really accurate in catching them. When they swoop down, they are very fast. If they fail to hit the target, they will immediately rise into the air to prepare for the next attack. But they, if they can't dodge, they will be killed.
Will lose his life.
This is the importance of air superiority. Faced with the breath of the dragon flying in the sky, countless human ground troops have experienced the same helplessness.
Clay held onto the wall and looked outside. A large number of griffons were swimming in the air, searching for their prey.
After his report to the committee, he was promoted to one level without exception, successfully became a commander, and was awarded a White Scale Medal that could be envied by countless colleagues.
Today, he was preparing to count a batch of supplies that would be transported to the Twin Fortresses, when he unexpectedly encountered a group of griffins.
Where did the gryphon come from? He didn't know.
What did the gryphon want to do? He didn't know.
But he knew he had to do something.
Clay's hand touched his chest, where there was hanging a silver-white metal medal the size of an egg, in the shape of scales. There was a line of common language written on the sharp corners of the scales - Pay tribute to the real heroes.
The medal felt hard and cold, and beneath it was his soft and hot heart.
Suddenly, Clay's eyes fell on the overturned carriage on the road.
The favorite prey of griffons is horses, so when they attack, the ponies of the transport team immediately attract the attention of these beasts.
At this time, all the horses that originally pulled the cart were hunted down by the griffins, and the cargo carriage also fell over.
If I remember correctly...this batch of supplies includes new equipment distributed by the equipment department.
What's it called? Explosive Magic Spear? No, no, that's not important.
Clay shook his head vigorously, recalling the equipment department's introduction to the use of equipment two days ago, and took it into consideration.
"Come here, let me arrange a battle plan!" Clay said.
His tone was very calm, which seemed to give the kobold recruits confidence, and everyone gathered around.
A few minutes later.
Clay picked up a shield and jumped out of the low wall first, followed closely by the recruits. Among them, the melee soldiers quickly ran towards the carriage, while the archers took out their hand crossbows.
The gryphons in the sky soon discovered the situation here, and a gryphon swooped down with a roar.
Clay was alone, so he was naturally the gryphon's primary target.
Facing this beast charging at high speed, Clay did not choose to block it. His shield was slightly tilted. The moment the gryphon's claws struck, Clay's body rolled over, and the gryphon's claws scratched Clay's shield.
There were a few scratches and a harsh tearing sound, as a person and an animal passed by.
At the same time, the archers who were in position next to them waited for the gryphon to rise before they dared to release arrows.
Archers are the fastest unit to form combat effectiveness, but on the other hand, they are also the slowest.
The recruits' accuracy was not good enough, and they missed the target of the gryphons flying at high speed. Unfortunately, they were also holding light crossbows specially made for practice, and their lethality was also insufficient.
Therefore, the archers can hardly cause damage to the griffins, but it is enough to interfere.
Here Clay cooperated with them to deal with the griffin, and the melee recruits over there also successfully dug out the equipment in the carriage.
"Found it!" The recruit raised the spear in his hand. The barrel was obviously a lot thicker than an ordinary spear. Under the gun head, there was a strange bulge on the barrel.
The recruits found more than a dozen spears like this.
"Proceed as planned!" Clay was determined.
The recruits quickly rushed into the narrow alleys between the houses under the leadership of Clay.
The griffin swooped down again, but this time it didn't go so smoothly. The moment it rushed into the narrow alley, it discovered that several ropes had been pulled up in front of it.
Unable to dodge, the griffin directly hit it. The fixed rope was torn off in an instant, and within a few moments, the griffin could fly again. But this moment of being blocked was enough.
Clay raised his spear and stabbed the griffin. At the same time, his other hand holding the tail of the spear suddenly turned.
"boom!"
The joint between the gun head exploded suddenly, and Clay clearly felt the gun head penetrate into the griffin's body during the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, there was another explosion, and the gun tip exploded in the griffin's body. In an instant, the walls of the narrow alley were covered with blood.
"Is this the explosive magic gun?" Clay was a little shocked. He didn't expect it to be so powerful. It would be miraculous when used against turtle shells.
He gently wiped off the blood stained on the medal with his hand, but unexpectedly more was smeared on it. Clay had no choice but to lift the half-remaining gun barrel——
"Soldiers, keep killing!"
"Kill!"
Turning my attention to all parts of Osfir City, the situation in Clay is just a microcosm, and the situation in many places is even much better.
After experiencing the initial panic, the Osfir soldiers quickly organized themselves to deal with the griffons in the sky.
Depending on the existing conditions, they use different fighting methods.
For example, lure the griffin down, and then use a woven rope net to trap the griffin on the ground for hunting.
The regular troops who were actually responsible for defending the city had much better shooting skills than the recruits. They gathered together and rained arrows on the griffins that pounced down.
As time went by, more and more troops entered the city and attacked the griffins from the rooftops.
But it has to be said that the gryphons are indeed fierce, and the Osfir people are constantly paying casualties.
At the same time, in the sky, the harpies and the griffins were also playing games and fighting. From time to time, a cloud of blood would burst out in the air and rain down, and corpses kept falling from both sides.
At the committee headquarters, the battle here was even more fierce.
Thoradin, Zerma, and Nohir are facing a powerful enemy together.
