Chapter 65: Gryphon Legion
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since they were dealing with army ants, there was no need to use other ground pet beasts. The strength of gryphon was sufficient.
After dropping He Liwei off, Fang Yuan immediately led the gryphon legion to the front line. The scene had even shocked the general.
“A young man can actually control an iron gryphon legion. How strong is he actually? If only he could be used by us!” The general sighed. Their military academy was not short of pet beast talent, but they had never seen such an outstanding person.
Previously, the commander thought of roping him in but failed. Although He Liwei didn’t say it out loud, the general could feel the thoughts in his heart.
On the arrival of the gryphon legion, army ant was not brainless. Army ants were social creatures. Some used their antennae to look at the sky and could feel a special aura. The others felt that the situation was not good, even the army ants that were about to climb up the wall of the fortress did not bother to continue climbing. They used the unique frequency of the army ants to call out to their companions.
After receiving the signal from their leader, a swarm of army ants aimed at the sky and spat out acid. Flying at a low alt.i.tude, the gryphons were about to use the wind spike but the acid was sprayed on their feathers. They were injured.
Seeing that the army ants could actually use long-range attacks, Fang Yuan immediately ordered the gryphon legion to increase their flying height.
As the army ants were still spitting acid and didn’t hit the gryphons, the acid fell from the sky and landed onto their companions, corroding their bodies.
The army ants which bodies corroded gave off the smell of melted iron when their sh.e.l.ls were melting. Due to this unexpected change, the army ants began to run riot.
“What a r.e.t.a.r.ded creature. It’s a waste of strength.” Riding on Xiao Jin’s body, Fang Yuan was thinking that although the demonized pet beasts were more powerful and dangerous than the ordinary pet beasts, their intelligence did not increase. They were completely suppressed in this kind of battle.
The army ant leader began to command again, asking them to immediately stop spraying acid and begin to stack up one ant after another.
Fang Yuan retracted his initial opinion. They were not simple r.e.t.a.r.ds, but had a lower IQ than r.e.t.a.r.ds. To ascend to the sky by stacking, wasn’t this just whimsical?
However, very quickly, Fang Yuan discovered that the army ants were doing something that he did not expect. It was to stack six army ants and the seventh army ant would be thrown high up in the sky by the sixth army ant. This way, it could pounce on a gryphon. If Xiao Jin hadn’t commanded the little gryphon to leave in time, it would have been in trouble.
Soon the army ant ended up in a miserable state. It got too high up and fell to the ground which resulted a huge hole in its body. It wriggled a few times and then stopped moving.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan decided to end the battle quickly. These ants looked like they were messing around, but in reality, they were trying different ways to fight against their enemies in the sky. This was a sign of intelligence. Furthermore, it could be seen that most of the army ants were without consciousness. Only the army ant leader who was in charge of commanding was their soul.
Realizing that this move was ineffective, the army ant leader thought of a new method. It was to let the army ants climb onto the army ants’ bodies and spit acid to attack.
Fang Yuan just wanted to find out the strength of the army ants. Since he already knew their abilities and fighting methods, he no longer showed mercy.
The army ants were powerful because, just like their name, they were only powerful when they became an army.
Since he already had the gryphon legion, he no longer needed the ant army.
So, let’s start the slaughter!
“Xiao Jin, command everyone to use gale to attack the army ants.” This was because the army ants didn’t have vision. Their strong close combat ability and sand kicking skill couldn’t be used anymore.
The 99 gryphons of the gryphon legion used the gale skill at the same time. Perhaps this was because they were born on the same day, they had an unparalleled tacit understanding and used the gale skill at the same time. The effect was like a super tornado. The army ants were carried into the air by the wild wind, lost their balance, and fell to the ground. They either heavily broke their sh.e.l.ls or landed on their companions, killing both at the same time.
Seeing the army ants die one after another, Fang Yuan kept receiving messages from the pet beasts, “Gryphon No.1 has been upgraded to level 3, and Gryphon No. 2 has been upgraded to level 3…”
This was one of the reasons why Fang Yuan came here.
On the other side, the people of the iron castle were very excited when they saw the army ants being defeated by the gryphon legion. Finally the disaster scene where they were afraid of did not happen. The young man in front of them and his gryphon legion once again saved the border.
Seeing that the army ants were in a bad situation, the leader of the army ants, as the only pet beast with consciousness, prepared to drill into the ground to escape.
“Ah Li,” Fang Yuan summoned Ah Li and said, “Use your fox claws to attack the army ant.”
Ah Li stood up angrily and used its fox claws to attack the army ant. The army ant was about to drill into the ground, but was controlled by an unknown emotion and rushed towards Ah Li. Ah Li immediately activated his wind chasing skill and ran faster than the ant. It then ran out of the sight of the ant.
At this moment, Xiao Jin’s ultimate skill had already been prepared.
“Gale!”
The army ant leader was directly torn apart by Xiao Jin. The lethality of the platinum grade gryphon’s skill was not something that a gold grade gryphon could compare to.
At this moment, the students who had arrived late walked out of the crowd and jumped onto the platform above the fortress, looking at everything that was happening in front of them.
After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted into a wave of applause.
The army ant disaster had been resolved perfectly.
Just they were about to welcome the hero, they saw a youth sitting on a gryphon. With a wave of his hand, he and the gryphons flew in the same direction, and that direction was the command center!
The students were shocked and quickly called for the soldiers to defend and protect the general.
However, when they thought about it, it seemed that the gryphon legion and the army ants were fighting because of the general’s order. That was why they were able to eliminate their opponents so cleanly.
100 figures were constantly flying in the air and crisscrossing each other. They were like migratory birds flying south and migrating back and forth.
However, these were not migratory birds. Instead, they were iron gryphons that had strong offensive abilities, and they were extremely powerful.
Their performance to the army ants just now was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. An iron gryphon might only be very powerful, but a group of iron gryphons were able to kill the army ants that were known as the pets of the group battle. This kind of strength could not help but make people hold their breath.
Fortunately, such a young man was not their enemy.
The flying gryphons in the sky received waves of applause for their nimble and gorgeous movements. After receiving the news of victory from the front, the commander created a lively and jubilant atmosphere.
“General, I hope you can fulfill your promise.”
No one expected that Fang Yuan’s first sentence when he saw the general was actually to ask for a reward, which made everyone present shocked.
