When the inspector knight entered the Ice Peak Fortress, Gresham became the supreme commander here. Although it was unreasonable for him to kill the griffin, there was no problem in terms of rules and legal principles.
If Giles were still in the Ice Peak Fortress, or if Kelly was not injured in picking the Giant Fruit, then Kipling would not have such a big opinion. But no matter how big the opinion is, the official order has been signed by Gresham Gary Quasi-Inspector General, and things cannot be changed.
"The formal order text, mission execution pass, and action indulgence are all ready, and his problem cannot be found in the procedures. The old man, even if there is a solution, it will not be effective immediately. Judging from their attitude, they must leave the fortress tomorrow and go into the mountain to find the damn griffin."
Kelly looked down at his injured arm, pulled out a dagger with a squeak, cut the bandage, and removed the splint. From the elbow to the fingertips, the forearm that broke through the bone was still swollen, and it was definitely not enough to bear the force.
"I don't talk about those empty ones. I know very well that you must follow them into the mountain. Oh, if my old bones can still be used, I will also enter the mountain. Leave an empty fortress to those guys!" Kipling sighed, raised Kelly's arm with both hands, and looked carefully. "I will prepare the last pair of troll potions for you as the last desperate choice. Remember, we are not the Giant Bear School, and troll potions have huge side effects on you. At the very least, the arm distortion will be distorted, and at the worst, the death will be done."
"I don't need your instructions. I know everything I should know. I can't do such a reminder. Old man, you should go and see the young people." Kelly tried to move his arms, then frowned and walked away.
Among the four young men, Tron had experience in carrying out missions alone, so he must go. Feiqi also said that he must go. He was not blind, and Gresham's hostility was almost engraved on his face, and the whole thing was basically Gresham's revenge on Feiqi, so how could he stand by. In fact, Feiqi really wanted to go by himself, and the others stayed in a safe fortress. But he had no reason to convince others.
Wumama said he wanted to go, and he was very confident that he would not make things difficult for him, and he absolutely obeyed Tron's instructions. The little fat Ramsden did he hesitate for a while, and finally decided to go together. He didn't know if it was because he was worried about something happening to his friends or whether he would be separated from his friends. "I can at least carry things and prepare meals for you-I have memorized all the wild recipes."
The shelf life of dry food is only about ten days, and they are likely to have to stay in the mountains for longer than this. Moreover, if a person brings dry food for ten days, it is also a huge burden to bear the burden, so he still needs to have the ability to replenish the supply in the wild. At least among the four young people, Ramsden is trustworthy in this regard.
Tron was the only one among the four who had done a mission, so everyone first heard him say: "The cliff griffin is not easy to deal with, especially the kind who is determined to retaliate against humanity. We must work together, use our brains and fight together to complete this task. I will go to the library later and find out the information about cliff griffin to see what targeted means. Wumama, please check the weapons and equipment, Ramsden, you prepare daily necessities. Feich... do you have any ideas?"
"I can probably think of a solution when I read books with you. I have never performed a task, so you lead the team and I will follow."
Age is not a weapon, it cannot defeat the enemy, only professionalism can be done.
"This time it's very dangerous, griffin... you've all seen it. Don't misjudgment the strength of griffin. The one we've seen was finally killed by sneak attacks, heavy crossbow machine in the city wall, Lord Giles personally, and the accidental help of the alchemy flame burning its feathers. We don't have any of the above favorable conditions this time."
"Maybe you can also attack..." Feiqi's mind was vague, and after carefully reading it in his mind, he said: "The griffin outside is eager to avenge. Don't we have the jerky meat from the previous griffin? Is there any way to make the smell inside the jerky rich? The griffin has a good sense of smell - I remember. Maybe the trap can work, and you can even do it near the fortress, so that you can use a heavy crossbow machine."
"Yes!" Ramsden was excited: "Turn the griffin over, set a trap, and then use a crossbow! This sounds like a good plan!"
Tron thought about it carefully, but shook his head in Xiaopang's expectant gaze: "The sky near the fortress is too vast. If the heavy crossbow machine does not hit, then the griffin will only continue to attack by air strikes. Lord Giles is not here, we can only rely on luck to hit the griffin with the crossbow machine. There is only one terrain that can eliminate the threat of the griffin's flight, so that it can only crawl and fight in hand-to-hand combat - you all know that it must be the woods. If you want to kill the griffin, we leave the empty fortress and go to the valley forest, and the success may be higher."
He glanced at Ramsden and added, "And we are relatively safer in the woodland."
Feiqi couldn't think of a reason to refute him, so at this time he chose to believe in professionalism. "So, is jerky bait feasible?"
"Of course, what you are talking about is definitely a good idea! The griffin you usually want to trap foraging is to use bait. A sheep, bloodied, stuffed herbs that can emit a specific irritating odor, and then hide it and wait for the griffin to be fooled. This time, griffin is not foraging but for revenge, but changing to another type of bait, other tactics can be similar."
"I have an idea." Wumama suggested: "The skin of the dead griffin was burnt out, but a lot of it remained, and it may be used this time. Also, there are a lot of feathers used for arrows in our warehouse, and there seems to be griffin hair inside. I can pick it out and use it on the bait."
"The skull of that griffin is still there. I know where to bury it, and it is easy to dig it out." Ramsden said, shrinking his neck: "Instructor Kelly asked me to bury him in the distance. I stole a lazy person and didn't go that far..."
"Okay, all of these can be used. I will ask Lord Snow Owl for a griffin bait potion, which I remember to put on the third floor of his room medicine cabinet." Tron narrowed his eyes.
"Haha, it turns out that my things have been remembered by you."
Old Man Kipling appeared quietly beside everyone, his movements as secret as a snowy owl. "It's great to hear that you can use your brain to think of ways. It's not about your muscles and teeth, but always your brain. You're going to set out tomorrow morning, and the rest of the time is not very good. Since you have a plan, start preparing. You can prepare while preparing and make the plan more detailed. Kelly will go with you tomorrow, and ask more questions. Tron, come with me, I'll get you bait potion, so that you can save you from rummaging through my things. Oh, Feich, wait for Tron for a while, and he will take you to choose armor and weapons after he gets the potion."
"Hey? OK!" Feiqi quickly agreed.
Tron supported the old man, and his wrinkled loose skin was still emitting warm heat. "Tron, you must be the leader when you go out this time. Kelly is usually strict with you, that is a good thing. But when you go out for a mission, the accumulation of past emotions is not entirely a good thing. Therefore, you need to make up your mind and make decisions, you must take the lead. This is your responsibility."
"I...I just went out to perform a mission once."
"You have completed your studies, aren't you? Tron, you have to remember that you must first take up your responsibilities, and then experience can play a role. Wumama and Ramsden will listen to you. Although Feiqi is older than you, I think he is not the kind of person who likes to show off now. He will fully respect your decision. Only when you take the lead can everyone's strength be integrated."
"I understand. Lord Snow Owl, you said... can we defeat the griffin this time?"
The old man stopped, turned his head, and looked at him solemnly: "Tron, remember what I can and cannot do not depend on what I have said to you now, but on how you have studied here over the past ten years. I believe you have the potential to achieve any victory, but only worry about it."
Tron suddenly became nervous and hurriedly asked himself where he was not doing well.
"As a monster hunter, you always walk alone, that is, there is no support. Because there is no support, all the training of the Eagle School is for fighting until victory." The old man Kipling lowered his voice and said, "In fact, there are many options in addition to accepting tasks and completing tasks. If you encounter problems, or you can't find them within a month and killing griffins, what should you do then? Tron, ask Feich when you need advice outside of battle. He was a nobleman, and some things will be more sleek than you."
Tron frowned, and could tell that he didn't understand. He came to the Fortress of Ice Peak at the age of six, and now twelve years have passed, and his life is in this world. What kind of nobles outside are like? Only in the taverns of Collingwood town in winter, from the mouths of travelers, bards and drunken drinkers. He could not understand the meaning of the old man Kiplin's words, but he could memorize them first, and then do as he did.
"If it starts snowing and you haven't caught griffons yet, then you'll all come back. If you can't go down the mountain, you won't go down the mountain. The worst case is that everyone will survive the dangerous winter together. Ghosts are in danger, but there is still vitality - it's better than being trapped in the heavy snow that closed the mountain."
"Sir Snow Owl, we will definitely be able to complete the task before the time limit, I am confident."
