Chapter 23 War
The sky was blown by a strong wind, which made people unable to open their eyes, but Ansu, who was sitting on the griffin, couldn't help but look around.
The last time I rode it was at night, and I couldn’t see anything in the dark. It’s really different now. The land is vast and the mountains are undulating. This feeling is completely different from watching the clouds under the plane through a small window. Ansu found that he fell in love with this feeling.
"Can you stop twisting around?" Griffin turned his head and said angrily, "I have only fine hairs on my back, and you will smooth them out."
"Sorry." Ansu sat down immediately, "It's the first time I'm flying alone, and I couldn't take a good look at the last time Miriah put me on my chest."
"Just correct it," Griffin was satisfied with his attitude, "Okay, now tell me, where are you going?"
"Xiang..." Ansu suddenly got stuck. There is no GPS positioning and no road signs here. How would he know the way back?
"Don't you know the way?"
"I only remember the mountains between Waterspring Fortress and Clearwind Harbor. It's always right to go west."
"Why don't you go back and ask Miriam for directions?"
"Don't go." Ansu shook his head, "Mileia didn't even let me go back and sit down, it means he doesn't want me to go back to the camp, and Rick left when I woke up, which means there are When things happen that I don't know about, when I am unable to help, it is the most appropriate not to trouble him."
"Okay then." The griffin turned around and flew west.
Along the way, the sun gradually rose to the mid-heaven, and suddenly, the voice of the griffin became much gentler: "Are you hungry?"
"I'm a little hungry." Not to mention, it's okay, but Ansu suddenly found a piece of hunger on his chest and back, he did so much exercise last night, and he didn't eat for almost 18 hours, damn it two meals a day.
"Look below," the griffin suddenly hovered in the air, pointing one of its front paws at the ground, "there is a wild cow, I swooped down, and you cut off his head with a sword, is there any problem?"
"...Uh, isn't it too bloody and cruel?" Looking at the bison grazing leisurely by the small river, An Su couldn't do anything.
"Pretentious!" The Griffin flew a big ring in the air angrily, and Ansu hugged his neck tightly so he didn't fall off, "Do you think I can't smell the blood on your body? You can kill the same kind, Can't get enough food?"
"Don't say that... We can't finish eating such a big cow..." An Su mainly felt that it was a pity that he couldn't take it away, so he might as well eat a smaller one.
"Who can't finish eating?" Griffin looked at him contemptuously, "This is only two meals of meat for me. Let me tell you, Miriah wants me to follow you, but if you don't have meat, I will ignore you. I can It can’t be solved by eating a few bites of grass like wild horses, and cannibalism has never been a problem for us.”
"Don't... aren't you a mount?" An Su had a headache.
"We have a cooperative relationship with the knights of Tanis. You know about the cooperation? If you are not satisfied, we can break up with the knights at any time." The griffin waved its paw impatiently, "Forget it, if you don't help me catch it myself, You sit still."
"Wait—" Ansu didn't finish his sentence, and the giant beast under him swooped down at a terrifying speed.
boom--
The terrifying speed made Ansu shake, but he immediately stabilized his body and buckled the long sword on his waist.
The huge wind speed lifted the long hair, the eyes began to be unable to open, and the skin was almost cut by the strong wind, but only for a moment, the holy light on the body automatically gathered, the skin flickered for a moment and then went out, but after that, the high-speed The huge wind in the air had an unfathomable influence on him like a breeze.
A few seconds later, under the acceleration, the griffin's tired front paws suddenly opened.
Ka!
The bison seemed to sense danger and instinctively wanted to run away.
chap!
The huge sharp claws pierced the bison's neck deeply, blood splashed everywhere, the painful bison struggled desperately, and the sharp thorns repeatedly scratched the body of the griffin, leaving only a few red marks.
An Su was terribly shaken, and hastily made up a sword.
The bison finally knelt down.
Griffin nodded: "Although your human claws are not good, your weapons are really good."
Ansu turned over and got off the bird(?), a little dizzy: "How high did we fly just now?"
"6000 meters." The griffin tore off a large piece of meat with its claws and gave it to him. "What's wrong?"
"...What is the speed of your dive?"
"I didn't count it, it came down in more than ten seconds? What's the matter?"
"Do you know that your speed is faster than the moving car!" An Su went up and pinched his neck and shook him, "The maximum acceleration a person can withstand is 70 meters per second, and you rushed to the speed of the moving car in one fell swoop. The blood vessel burst and died miserably!"
"Blame me?" The griffin rolled a piece of meat from its tail and hit him on the face, "I'm just flying like this, I'm not satisfied with you flying by yourself!"
"..." An Su got angry with that piece of meat.
"This is the beef tenderloin I pulled out. It's the best." After a while, the griffin rolled up a piece of meat awkwardly, "I usually carry high-level fighters, and their physique is not afraid of this. You also need to be stronger, if you don't know if the sky flies, you will fall down."
"Can you still live if you are so tall?" An Su looked at him.
"The selection criteria for the Griffon Knights is that they can survive a fall of 5000 meters." The Griffon said confidently, "The Empire's Griffon Knights are stronger than your Raytheon, and they are also the foundation of the empire's rule. If it wasn't for the shortage of numbers, we would have no problem ruling the continent again."
"Speaking so powerfully, how come there are only this few people left?" Ansu remembered that the number of griffins in the entire empire was only five hundred.
"That was a catastrophe thousands of years ago!" The Griffin swallowed a mouthful of meat angrily, "At that time, only a few hundred of us were fighting with the blood eagle knights of the abyss, and our Griffins only laid two eggs every ten years. , The female beasts that gave birth to eggs often die, and now there are more than 1000 in total, and within 1 years, it is impossible to restore the population.”
"Evil disaster?" Ansu had a little impression, but what he remembered was how bright and invincible the church was, and countless poems were sung, but it took too long, and it was so long that everyone sang it as a myth.
Seeing the griffon feasting on the side, Ansu looked at his violet sword and threw the meat into the air.
There were several soft sounds, and the light of the sword bloomed like a flower, flashing a beautiful arc in the air, and in the next second, dozens of thin slices of beef had been strung on the long sword.
While condensing the holy light to the extreme, he shone on the beef, and soon, he heard the sound of sizzling.
I can come to the barbecue machine...Ansu is a little depressed.
"I have salt in the pouch on my saddle, take it yourself."
"Do you need to add salt to raw meat?"
"Mileia put it on, do you want it?"
of course yes!
Ansu rushed forward.
After a while, both of them were lying on the grass to rest.
"I heard from Mireia that you also have a castle?" Griffin asked.
"Forget it..." Recalling the small place, An Su reluctantly said.
"Then let's talk about the treatment. I eat 30 pounds of fresh meat a day. Horse meat and beef are the best. The room should have a balcony on the second floor, facing the light. The area should be more than [-] square meters. Now the female griffin The requirements are quite high..." The griffin counts with its claws, "It would be better if there is a pool around, we like to be clean..."
"..." Ansu silently held down the Violet Sword.
"... Seeing that you are in a bad mood, I will talk to you about the treatment next time. When you are done, let's go quickly after eating." Griffin thought about the other party's performance and changed his words decisively.
"..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After making a big circle, Ansu finally followed the river and found the swampy beach outside the small village where he was a pastor.
It's easy to find here. An Su relaxed and prepared to go to church. Recently, the new penicillium should be cultivated. If possible, hire a few more people to carry out simple extraction. Although the conditions are not good, there are always medicines It's better than nothing, and the poor conditions are also helpless.
He stopped the Gryphon's only two-story church.
The griffin hesitated for a moment, but stopped at the door of the church.
Ansu stepped off the griffin.
Then he looked up and saw the door of the church was open, and a dead body was lying on the table and chairs.
An ominous premonition surged into his heart instantly, he rushed up, but was stunned the moment he entered.
Fingers trembling slightly, dozens of women were holding the corpses of their children. Their corpses were placed on the ground, and their blood had dried up, leaving only the blood on the messy tables and chairs as a sign of their resistance.
These women come here to pray every day, and clean everything here, piously not letting go of any corner.
He sometimes teaches children a little word here, so children often play here.
They would be grateful to him, and would be happy for a long time with a piece of bread.
Every day his kitchen is filled with water and flour.
They lived hard, just praying for a little peace of mind in front of the gods.
who is it?
Why kill them?
He turned his head suddenly, rushed out of the church, and looked for each family.
"anyone there?"
"Is there anyone alive?"
"I am Pastor Jialan, you are safe!"
"where is it?"
……
There is no echo in the quiet small farm, only the quiet wind blows.
The marks of iron hoofs on the road are still there, and there are many corpses, all of which are fatal wounds drawn by bows and arrows and machetes from high places.
He stopped at the entrance of the village.
The griffin walked over while smelling it: "I was ransacked by stragglers, let's walk for a long time, I can find them."
Ansu quietly appeared on his back, and said softly, "Let's go. I need someone to bury them with me!"
