A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 36: (2)

But the griffin is an aerial monster.

Fighting them in their natural habitat made it even more dangerous than facing Ogres.

Aura Activation. Breath Control. Focus.

Whispering the skills one by one, a power surged up that was on a completely different level from when he shattered the Harpys head earlier.

Savoring that power, he nocked an arrow and pulled the bowstring to its limit.

Twang!

If there was one slightly disappointing aspect, it was that the tension of the bowstring was too weak to withstand all his strength.

To release all the overflowing power, a stronger bow was needed.

Aiming the bow towards the entrance, he waited for a moment, and a massive shadow protruded from the protrusion.

Kraaaah!

The creature let out a roar that reverberated throughout the cave upon its appearance.

The creature known as the griffin was a bizarre life form with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle.

Although the creature had a massive physique, the sinister aura emanating from its eyes was truly remarkable. It felt as if the languid predator was looking at him as its prey.

Shoot!

As soon as it appeared, the frantic 12th position commander quickly commanded the archers.

Pop! Pop!

This time, not just a hundred, but hundreds of arrows were released.

The soldiers determination to capture the griffin, their willingness to do whatever it took, could be felt. However

Ting! Ting!

I cant believe this.

No matter how strong the griffin is, this is too much.

The arrows were rendered ineffective, bouncing off the griffins tough skin without piercing it.

How are we supposed to pierce through that tough skin?

Do we need to retreat?

Kraaaah!

Shoot the arrows again! Quickly!

Desperate sounds filled the air.

Despite their frustration with the griffins impenetrable skin, the soldiers, against the commanders orders, lowered their bows.

I wonder if it can stop this.

But it was too early to be disappointed. There was still one arrow left unfired.

Thwung!

The arrow left Kaiyans hand.

Even with the increased agility from his items, they moved so quickly that it was almost invisible to him.

However, it seemed that the griffin either didnt notice the arrow or deemed it unnecessary to dodge. It remained arrogantly still.

Puh-ick!

Kraaaah!!

The arrow, which had arrived at its destination in the blink of an eye, pierced through the griffins skin and deeply embedded itself in one of its legs. Startled by the fact that the arrow had penetrated its body and the excruciating pain, the griffin let out a scream and flapped its wings in a frenzy.

Good. Now, Ill What?

Kaiyan stopped his motion when he prepared to shoot another arrow.

Naturally, he thought the griffin would be enraged and charge at them, but surprisingly, it swiftly ascended into the air as quickly as it had descended.

Waaah!

Its running away!

Running away?

The soldiers shouts of excitement and confusion didnt register in Kaiyans ears due to the absurdity of the situation.

It was a good thing that the arrows had pierced through the griffins tough skin and caused significant damage. But how could a top-tier monster like the griffin, run away after sustaining that level of injury?

Hehe, Kaiyan, you didnt know about it, huh?

What? What is it that I dont know?

Uncle Max retorted with a chuckle, seemingly amused by my serious expression.

The griffin is a top-tier predator among aerial monsters. And its biggest advantage is its tough skin that can deflect even hundreds of arrows.

Well It did seem that way from what I saw earlier.

But youre the one who inflicted wounds on that tough skin! Its something thats normally impossible unless youre a knight!

Uncle, youre spitting

Maxs saliva flew toward Kaiyan as he was explaining enthusiastically.

And since the arrows were deeply embedded, the pain must be considerable! Do you think those creatures with tough skin would have experienced such intense pain while living? So, they get startled and run away.

Indeed that makes sense.

If Maxs explanation was correct, the griffin was a monster with clear advantages and disadvantages.

Although individual soldiers were ineffective against its tough skin, it was a creature that would flee at the slightest pain if faced with knights.

Then, there shouldnt be a problem just because the griffin appeared, right? I dont understand why the Panielun soldiers are afraid of it.

Well thats not the case.

Contrary to my thoughts, the old knight responded negatively.

What do you think is the reason we keep hearing the soldiers screams from above? Is it because there are no knights there? No, knights are deployed at each position.

.

Indeed, the screams of the soldiers from above hadnt ceased since the griffin appeared.

Why was the coalition army still struggling against these creatures that could be easily dealt with?

If the knights deployed at each position were there, they should have easily dealt with the griffins skin.

Then, why is that?

Did you forget what weapons the knights use?

Weapons? Of course, its swords, isnt it?

Kaiyan had heard that there were knights who used spears or maces as their main weapons, but they were the minority. Most knights wielded swords.

Youre right. But the problem is, swords arent particularly helpful in capturing aerial monsters. Even if theyre knights, they cant fly, after all.

So, what youre saying is that they cant attack those creatures?

Thats right. Well, if theyre skilled enough to shoot out Aura, they might be able to But skilled individuals like that arent common. Ah, but if theyre specialized in Panielun, they might be able to.

Them?

Who are they?

That Hmm I guess my memory fails me because of old age. Anyway, theyre probably hunting the griffin, but their numbers are small, so they cant protect all positions.

I see

If the griffin specifically targets the soldiers, the damage wont be insignificant.

There were barely 20 knights deployed at Position 12.

Among them, 15 belonged to Tariens Special Unit, which he brought along. So in other positions, there were fewer than five knights on average.

They wont be able to protect the soldiers on their own.

The positions werent as spacious as the battlefield, but even in narrow spaces where five knights would be enough to protect over 500 soldiers, it was a different story when facing flying monsters.

But in the end, they will be killed.

Since those creatures wouldnt distinguish between knights and soldiers and wouldnt be intelligent enough to avoid danger. The problem was how to deal with other monsters in the meantime.

Its like watching an Orc Lord. Shaking their formation.

The Named Monster, Harpy Queen.

Shes definitely not an easy opponent.
