The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant chapter 89

Griffin (2)

The number of griffons he found was twenty, including the ones that had just flown away.

It certainly doesn’t seem that full-fledged proliferation has taken place yet, but it can still be said to be a threatening enough number.

At that time, George asked me as I was looking at the place where the colony was located.

“But how are you going to lure it down? You didn’t even bring a wizard.”

That was right.

As the guy said, I didn’t bring any wizards. It was because he thought it was a waste of manpower to bring in wizards who had to devote a lot of time to research. And this was also the case with the great mage, the Mage Tower Master.

But I also had a plan.

“Nothing changes with the presence of wizards.”

“Are you saying there’s no need for a wizard because it’s out of reach of magic anyway?”

“no.”

I pulled the corners of my mouth at the knights who were building a temporary base.

Then, slowly, feeling the wind blowing through the bare branches of the winter tree, continued talking.

“It means there’s nothing to do with them anyway.”

* * *

Thirty knights and a man were moving through the forest. It was a secret yet bold step, a quiet yet brisk walk.

Their footsteps stopped when they arrived at the place marked on the map given to them by the first prince.

“Well, I guess this should be enough.”

“hmm? It looks like we haven’t reached the indicated location yet… … .”

“I think this would be the most appropriate, at least in this area.”

“Hmm… … I see.”

The knight who was leading the unit nodded at the man’s slender voice and began to take out something.

… … It was a net that was well packed so that it would not get twisted.

However, the voice of the knight looking at it was strangely trembling as if concerned.

“But is it really okay?”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Well, you just have to proceed according to the strategy I gave you.”

The characteristic that sight is extremely poor instead of other senses developed. So even the advice that if you attract well, you will be able to handle it easily.

If that was the weakness of other monsters, he would have believed it right away. But didn’t they see it with their own two eyes?

“It’s an eagle head in the first place, but I don’t know if my eyesight is really bad.”

“… … .”

The expression of the knights strangely changed at the words of the man shrugging his shoulders. It was common knowledge that eagles have good eyesight.

Didn’t Prince 1 even say that there were already 20 griffons? In the midst of that, it was a difficult order for them to understand.

Of course, I couldn’t say it out loud.

“Anyway, we just have to do as we are told. If it doesn’t work out, it’s something we can discuss later.”

“… … I know for now.”

Installation of the connected net was simple. Even a knight who had never set up a trap before would be able to learn it right away.

That would be too. It was because the twenty knights spread out around the starting point with moderate visibility were holding on to the lines of the net laid on the ground.

In other words, it was nothing more than a net spread out on the ground.

“Let’s see… … .”

Finally, George took a huge chunk of meat from his bag and set it down in the middle of the net, then picked it up with a look of annoyance and slipped out of the net.

A little bit of tension seemed to remain on the face of the unit commander as he looked at George.

‘Did you say that you can use it when a griffon passes by… … .’

I wondered if that unknown man would pull it off when the time was right. And the effectiveness of the operation is also… … .

How long have you waited like that?

By the time the feelings of tension in the hearts of the knights were also faintly felt, George’s eyes caught a griffon flying.

George nodded as if giving a signal to the knights, and immediately threw the thing in his hand to the ground.

And it was a glass bottle that broke while making a sharp noise.

Clink!!

Kyaaagh!

The griffon, which was about to pass them, suddenly started wandering around with a loud cry, as if stimulated by the noise.

Then, through the open field of vision, he found pink flesh and fell to the ground like a shot.

Kyaa-!

Shu Woo-wook-

It was the moment when the lion’s forelegs were about to crush the prey’s body.

“Pull slowly.”

“Capture him!”

“Pull!”

The knights who received the signal pulled the lines of the nets placed on the ground vigorously.

But what they were holding on to was not just an ordinary stretched net.

They were holding the long lines of the net stretched in the direction of the knight on the other side.

in other words.

Kak-!

Eventually, the net, drawn in an instant by the tension rushing in from all directions, wrapped around the griffon’s body.

The pull was so strong that the griffon’s three-meter-long body was crumpled here and there.

And on top of that, the command of the unit commander fell once again.

“Strike!”

The ten knights who were not holding the net, including the commander, rushed in and swung their weapons.

However, it was not to kill the enemy. What the knights were wielding were their swords pulled out in their scabbards.

puck-! puck-!

Kyaaagh!

A threshing that only aims at the head. It was like a club that made the meat tender.

The griffon, who had been resisting with a scream, struggled to escape the net, but because it was such a sudden attack, there was no gap to spread its wings.

To make matters worse, even the durability of the net was strong enough to push out the claws, so Griffon, who had been hit on the head by the knights, had no choice but to fall to the ground in a state of fainting.

Whoops, whoops… … .

The knights stared blankly at the stunned Griffon and breathed heavily.

I don’t know if it’s just killing. Indeed, without any damage, and even without a wizard, he succeeded in ‘capturing’ the intact Griffon.

And George, who was looking at this, scratched his head as if he had no particular inspiration.

“Now, let’s take it and go home.”

To still be surprised by this, all George had seen was too unreal.

* * *

Meanwhile.

Upon hearing the news of the successful capture of the griffon, I raised my head and looked at the scene in front of me.

… … Griffin’s colony.

Looking at the figure of fifteen griffons lying down.

The corners of my lips began to rise slowly.

‘That means I succeeded in capturing the griffon.’

As expected, my calculation that if there were 30 knights, it would be possible to capture them at once was correct.

If this opportunity had failed, they would have had to wait until the knights finished their maintenance and attempted capture again.

However, since he had already captured one, the others were just monsters to be killed.

… … Yes, small puppies who can be killed without mercy.

‘It was boring to wait any longer, but that’s good.’

My gaze followed the colony where they stayed.

Befitting the characteristics of griffons who live in groups, what was in front of them was literally a huge collection. Fallen leaves under a large tree that could be ten meters high. Tree branches densely surrounding it.

Above those things, fifteen griffons were huddled together.

Except for one captive, it seemed that four of them were away.

Of course it didn’t matter. Even if they were away anyway, they would come here sooner or later.

seureung-

Elbern, who appeared from the waist up, was pulled out with a faint metal sound.

It was pulled out so quietly that it was almost unnoticed even when it was near.

But before long, the raging wind had the power to make even those guys feel strange and wary.

Whii-i-!

Kyaaagh!

Kyaa-!

And only then did the griffons, who discovered me, spread their wings and rise.

Did you say that huge wings are the source of power? The sight of him threatening with his white wings wide open was truly a masterpiece.

Of course, they did not leave uninvited guests who came to the colony as they were.

“Come.”

Kyaaagh!

visor!

An engagement that took place in an instant. My hand holding Elbern stood in the way of the griffon’s claws, which flew like a darting first, with only its strength.

When his claws were blocked by only one sword, he tried to pierce me with his beak. That guy’s sharp beak was on par with a longsword by itself.

“Hoo.”

However, I allowed the guy’s attack on the contrary as I expressionlessly twisted the sword out of the claw.

Instead of holding the sword in his right hand, he only extended his left hand.

snap-

Keek-!

The guy tried to run away when he saw me reaching out, but by the time he reacted, his neck had already been grabbed.

However, it was unable to even respond to subsequent attacks.

The recovered right arm’s sword pierced the guy’s head, and he died cleanly.

hooked

… … desperate.

His huge body, which was more than 3 meters tall, was unable to resist even once, and he slumped like that in vain.

It was a scene in stark contrast to the appearance that made the knights sick of it while wandering the sky.

dump-

I tossed the body of the griffon, which was hanging by my left arm, far away so that it would not interfere with its movement. Then he looked around and smiled.

All of a sudden, the remaining griffons were emitting terrifying hostility at the sight of their comrade’s corpse.

Kieh-!

Kack! Kack!

But those weren’t cries of anger over the death of a comrade. A signal that is thinner and spreads farther.

They judged me as a dangerous element and called the griffons who were away.

I don’t know what it means.

“Simple guys.”

Thanks to this, the griffons that heard the signal joined the colony at an astonishing speed.

Kyaaa-!

The final number is eighteen.

When they confirmed that their comrades had returned, they all took off into the sky. Then, after climbing several hundred meters, it began to fall, targeting me like a wedge.

The power of the griffons who rushed at me to exclude me with priority gradually increased their acceleration and reached a speed that barely passed my eyes.

But that was the moment.

Woo-woo-!

A strong wind blew through the sky. The wind was strong enough to blow away all the stable colonies as if they were rooted on the ground.

It wasn’t just a typhoon.

Sensing the energy felt within, the bodies of the griffons began to stiffen.

But what to do while flying in the sky? They were just trying to spread their wings as much as possible, swaying as if they were going to fall at any moment.

At that time, the confused eyes of those guys turned somewhere.

Kyaaagh!

where the wind comes from. Under the source of that typhoon.

… … It was me, no one else, who was walking calmly.
