Chapter 88: The Importance of Griffins
The coalition ground forces headed to Stratholme to prepare for transfer by sea to Nanhai Town.
The gryphon knights of the Wildhammer dwarves are not so troublesome.
They ate and drank enough in Quel'Thalas and returned along the mountains from whence the Horde army came.
By the way, look for the fish that slipped through the trap of the tribal army.
Although the orcs and forest trolls are very brave, deserters will occasionally appear.
For the gryphon knights, these shameful deserters without a sense of honor are a rare pleasure in their journey.
Seeing them flying into the sky cheering, Herard was very envious.
Flying is an absolute pleasure!
Previously, the Guardian Dragon King wanted to transform him into a little dragon, but he was actually tempted at the time.
If the dragon man has a high success rate, he will definitely agree to the transformation.
The dragons are so powerful that they can fly in the sky and switch between human form and dragons.
This is a good thing that is safe and has no side effects. If you disagree, you would be a fool!
But if there were risks involved, the cautious Herard would not dare to accept it.
Who wants to be a winged lizard man forever?
Liressa saw her adopted son looking at the gryphon knight in the distance, and she quickly guessed what her adopted son was thinking.
The dwarves who control the griffins are much shorter than the high elves.
But their bodies are so thick that they look like wine barrels.
Their arms are even more exaggerated, thicker than the thighs of high elves!
Judging from the depth of the footprints these guys left on the ground, they weighed much more than the high elves.
However, the gryphon could easily carry them up.
Thinking of this, even Li Lesa began to be envious and jealous.
The high elves' dragon eagles can also fly with people.
But their carrying capacity is very low, and they will struggle to fly.
Let the mage ride the dragon eagle in the air to cast spells to attack the enemy.
It sounds like a good idea!
However, mages prefer to stay in the wizard tower.
Mage towers extend the effective range of their magic.
And it is easier and faster to restore mana.
As for the mage riding a dragon eagle to fight in the sky.
In fact, there is no difference from fighting on the ground!
The profession that is truly suitable for fighting on a dragon eagle should be a ranger who also has long-range attack capabilities.
But the ranger's body looks slender, but the muscle mass is not comparable to that of the mage.
The cumulative difference in body weight and equipment weight is enough to put the showy Dragon Eagle to rest.
Those useless dragon eagles have long disappointed Lelessa.
A strong flying monster like the gryphon is great!
But even thinking about it is impossible.
She patted Herad on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about it, the gryphon is their trump card, and it will definitely not be sold!"
Herad did not agree with her view.
"Dwarves have different personalities. I guess good wine and gold coins can impress them."
After making this guess, Herard thought about it in his mind and felt that he was quite sure.
He looked at Liressa who was very sensitive to this information.
"Godmother, do you want to own a griffon? I'll go out and ask for it myself, and they should be able to provide it."
Liressa's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up when she heard about the possibility of purchasing a griffon.
The griffon can carry people flying and has powerful attack power. It is simply the perfect battle pet and riding pet!
It would be even better if I could buy a pair!
When Harad and Vereesa were discussing the purchase of a griffon, Vereesa was quietly hiding nearby and eavesdropping.
When she heard that Herad had a way to get the gryphon, she couldn't help but came out.
"Second brother, I want a gryphon too!"
As she said this, she hugged Herad's arm and shook it, not stopping even if she disagreed.
Vereesa, who was focused entirely on the gryphon, didn't notice Vereesa approaching at all.
The little daughter came out with a roar, which startled her, and then she became furious.
She held Vereesa's ears and began to punish her.
Seeing his sister's pitiful look for help, Herard shrugged and expressed that he was helpless.
The more you try to persuade her at this time, the harder Vereesa will be beaten.
"Godmother, I'm going to contact the Wildhammer dwarves first and find out what they have to say."
After explaining the situation, he quickly left the scene. As soon as Horad reached the corner of the woods, he saw Alleria and Sylvanas hiding there.
They were very interested in their sister being beaten and curiously asked about the situation.
"What happened? Mother is rarely so angry and beats people up."
Glancing at the unlucky guy with his butt slapped on the board, Herard hurriedly walked around the corner.
"Eavesdropping on confidential conversations and even scaring my godmother. This matter is probably a bit serious."
Sylvanas immediately shrank when she heard what Herad said.
After taking another look, she pulled Herard and left quickly.
Alleria also knew what this meant.
"It's really unlucky. She will probably suffer a lot!"
Although she sympathized with her sister's situation, she still left here.
In the reception room of the mage tower, Herad sent a magic messenger to Jindi to explain the situation.
Seeing that he asked his men to talk to the Wildhammer dwarves about purchasing griffins, the two sisters finally understood what the secret was.
This is indeed a secret, and it is a strategic secret!
The gryphon can compete with the parallel red dragon. You can imagine how powerful it is!
If there were griffons, the high elves' aerial troops would no longer be a decoration.
Having a powerful air force is related to the interests of the family and the kingdom.
For this situation, the two sisters knew better than Herad.
After listening to their detailed analysis, Herard realized that the gryphon was not as important as usual!
Originally, he just thought that having griffons would make transportation more convenient.
At the same time, the gryphon's aerial combat ability is also very strong.
It's deeper but I didn't think too much about it.
In fact, a high elf ranger who is proficient in animal taming skills and has certain spellcasting abilities is not much worse than the gryphon knight of the Wildhammer dwarves.
"Then we have to try our best to fight for it!"
After understanding the good prospects of the griffons, Herard was going to send a message to Jindi again, asking him to have a good talk with the Wildhammer dwarves and try to get a few more griffons.
However, before his magic messenger could be sent out, Jindi's magic messenger came over first.
Seeing the pigeon falling on the table, Herard reached out and touched the pigeon to make it dissipate, and then released a three-dimensional video.
The perspective of the image is from the heights of Eagle's Nest Mountain, which should be the perspective of the mage's eye.
The ground is densely covered with skeletons and zombies, as well as a random patchwork of undead creatures.
The number of undead creatures is impossible to estimate.
And it already looks like it has some strength.
Where they walked, the flowers and plants quickly withered.
This is a manifestation of the strong aura of death.
When Jin Di introduced the current situation in Eagle Nest Mountain, one could hear some panic.
After all, the size of this undead army is indeed a bit scary!
Moreover, the elite troops of the Wildhammer dwarves are outside, and those left behind are the weaker ones.
Herard quickly sent a magic messenger, telling them that the Griffin Knights were already on the way, and asked them to hold on for two hours.
He then began to think about how to support Eagle's Nest Mountain.
The magician's temporary portal spell does not teleport far.
Usually it is only a few dozen kilometers, and it will not exceed a hundred kilometers if it lasts.
The Bronze Dragon King's blessing strengthened Herad's time and space talents.
But he hasn't started learning teleportation spells yet.
After all, space magic is very profound and can only be learned by reaching the stage of Archmage.
In the end, Herard decided to rely on the wind element to fly over.
Seeing the strong wind blowing as soon as it was released, obviously trying to cause trouble with the wind element, Herad raised the Doomhammer and activated it.
This powerful artifact that could command the elements did not disappoint him.
The commotion of the air element quickly subsided and conveyed a message of willingness to surrender.
Elementals disdain lies.
Herard began to tinker with flying tools.
