From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 46: The Silver Sword Slays the Demon

[Mission – Alone:

The border town is harassed by monsters who attack cattle, sheep, and their owners. You seem to be able to help them because you are their lord.

Accept/Reject]

Rann had planned to tackle the mission after finding Ciri, perhaps with the help of the demon hunter Geralt. It’s really not okay to simply throw the direct money to the demon hunter and wait in the town for the task to be completed. Leave professional matters to professionals,

It’s just that I didn’t expect that my mission goal appeared in front of me so early.

Soaring in the sky are two creatures called griffins.

Gryphons once lived only in the mountains, where they hunted marmots and goats. Later, they discovered a larger and easier prey to hunt—cattle, sheep, and their owners. In just a few years, it went from being a rare species to becoming the number one pest of northern farmers.

In addition, griffins are not afraid to attack armed humans, and even prefer this prey because defeating knights makes them proud. They even attack the shadow demons of the Wilun Wilderness, so their nature is quite noble.

They are often considered symbols of courage, loyalty, and fighting spirit, and if provoked, they will not give up without tearing their opponents to pieces.

This “noble” quality may be praised by heraldic or biological scholars, but for front-line warriors, it is a nightmare.

Lane hurried and was about to rush out of the jungle.

The sound of harmony, command, and screams also sounded together at this time.

The battle had apparently been going on for a while, when Lann was watching the smaller of the pair of griffins catch a scout and throw it in midair. As the short screams ceased, Lane lost a soldier.

“Brian, help me take care of Geralt and Cary! Lane shouted.

He rolled over and dismounted, removed one of the packages from the Black Wind rucksack, and then pulled his hand back on the horse’s hip.

The black wind ran smartly towards the depths of the woods, and the animal’s instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm allowed it to withdraw from the battlefield without the slightest hesitation. Brian jumped a few times between the branches of the tree and jumped onto the back of the black wind, carrying Ciri forward.

Outside the woods, four scouts had fallen on the ground, and their deaths were terrifying. Some of them were disemboweled by huge claws; Some were pecked open to their braincases by pointed and long beaks; Some, as Rann saw, were thrown from heaven and broken; Another person seemed to be drenched in strong acid, melting most of it.

The dryads were unharmed, and they called out to each other with the human soldiers, using the dead Verdon soldiers, fallen trees, and the wagons of the caravan attacked by the Verdon soldiers as cover, and from time to time they fired arrows at attack.

The tree spirit’s arrows are fast and powerful, but they are still not enough to see in the face of a griffin with heavy feathers. An arrow that is enough to pierce the chest and bones falls on a griffin like a needle prick, unless it is a key point such as attacking the eyes or a key point of force for the wing, it can play a limited role.

If there are two teams of archers and crossbowmen present, a small rain of arrows should be able to make the griffin temporarily avoid the edge or even shoot it down, but unfortunately there are not so many archers present.

However, the organic spirits wanted to find an opportunity to hide in the woods and use the shelter of the trees to confuse the griffins, but the extremely intelligent griffins did not give them this opportunity. The corpses of the soldiers died in this act, they fell very close to the woods, and after several failures, it was discovered that the griffins would focus on those who wanted to escape, so no one had the courage to try.

At this time, Ace, who was hiding behind cover, finally seized an opportunity, took a bow and an arrow, the string was full of the moon, and quickly shot an arrow like lightning, just inserted at the griffin’s shoulder blade.

Quasi, but he underestimated the griffin’s feathers and muscles. Even if the griffin with the arrow is small, it only dangles in midair. The figure was slightly sluggish, but still hovered in the air.

Ace patted his head in annoyance and decisively rolled away from the original bunker. After the next breath, I saw another large griffin raise its head and spew out a stream of acid, and in an instant, most of the board that Ace used as a cover was dissolved.

It turned out to be no ordinary [Griffin], but the [Opinicus] that can spit strong acid as a weapon!

A griffin, a big griffin, did not expect to be a partner, and now they are coming out together to attack humans!

The griffin with the arrow in the shoulder blade flaps its wings and raises its own height, circling and using its beak to try to pull out the arrow inserted in its body, which is placed on the connection between its shoulder and wing, and every time it flaps its wings, it will have a tingling pain, greatly reducing its flexibility and speed.

At this moment, a faster, lighter, and more powerful arrow appeared out of nowhere, and the arrow hit the shaft of Ace’s arrow, and after a “click” it burst into the griffin’s wings.

The shattered wood, an inch further arrow, and new arrows tore apart the griffin’s wings together, bringing out a handful of blood that finally made the injured griffin unable to withstand it and fell diagonally from mid-air.

Ellie stretched out in mid-air, and she had to jump out of cover in order to shoot this godlike arrow.

In order to attack, but forgot about the cover. She had rarely thought about this in the forest, and Blochlon’s daughter’s unique method of using trees to protect herself lacked experience in open space.

As soon as she turned around, Ellie just saw the big griffin rushing towards her. And there are no trunks around that can block each other, and there are no vines that can allow you to wander.

Everything happens between electric flint!

A steel sword was thrown as if it had been javelin, leaping across a distance of tens of yards. This kind of distance and this throwing method naturally has no accuracy, but it is just right to startle the big griffin.

Lan strode out of the jungle and threw away his useless scabbard. Turning back to meet Ellie’s shocked gaze.

Lane yelled, “What about your fellow dryad? Pull it out and save it! Wasn’t there a squad before! ”

Ellie yelled in response, “Didn’t you just let me take three people to stay, now you ask me?” ”

Rann roared angrily, “Can’t you just let them hide secretly? So honest, no wonder you have been bullied by humans for so long! ”

Ellie was so angry that she blushed and roared: “Don’t compare me to you cunning humans, I swore by the oak tree!” ”

Well, Rann patted his head in annoyance. Without support, it’s an uphill battle.

“Everyone, hold this big griffin and don’t let it disturb me. I’ll go kill the griffin first!” ”

Rann strode towards the fallen griffin, his hands grabbing two things from the black wind’s saddlebag.

The left hand alchemy backpack strap contains highly toxic alchemy potions that non-demon hunters cannot bear.

In his right hand, he grasped a long sword with a recast lion’s head hilt, and the blade reflected a completely different dazzling light in the sunlight than a steel sword.

Silver sword slashes demons!
