When the patrolling knights entered Ice Peak Fortress, Ream became the highest commander here. Although it was unreasonable for him to send people to destroy the griffins, there was no problem with the rules and laws.
If Giles was still in Ice Peak Fortress, or if Gallie hadn't been injured while picking the giant fruit, then Kipling wouldn't have such a big opinion. But no matter how big his opinion was, the official order had already been signed by Ream Gary Quasi Patroller, and the matter could not be changed.
"The official order, the mission execution pass, the action atonement voucher, these are all present. There is no way to find any problems with him in the procedures. Old man, even if there is a solution, it won't take effect immediately. Looking at their posture, they must leave the fortress tomorrow and go into the mountains to find that damned griffin. "
Gallie looked down at his injured arm and pulled out a dagger with a swish. He cut off the bandage and removed the splint. From the elbow to the fingertips, the broken forearm was still swollen and couldn't bear any force.
"I won't say those empty words. I know very well that you must go into the mountains with them. Sigh, if my old bones could still be used, I would go into the mountains too. I would leave an empty fortress to those guys! "Kipling sighed and lifted Gallie's arm with both hands to look at it carefully. "I will prepare the last troll potion for you as a last resort. Remember, we are not the Giant Bear Sect. The troll potion will have huge side effects on you. If it is light, your arm will be deformed, and if it is heavy, you will die. "
"I don't need you to tell me. I know everything I need to know. I can't do this kind of thing. Old man, you should go and see those young people. "Gallie tried to move his arm, then walked away with a frown.
Of the four young people, Tron had experience in carrying out missions alone, so he would definitely go. Renault also said that he would definitely go. He wasn't blind. Ream's enmity was almost carved on his face, and the whole thing was basically Ream's revenge on Renault. How could he just stand by and watch? In fact, Renault really wanted to go himself and leave the others in the safety of the fortress. But he didn't have any reason to persuade others.
Wu Mama said that he would go. He was very confident that he wouldn't cause trouble and would definitely obey Tron's instructions. Baintor Lasden had indeed hesitated for a while, but in the end, he decided to go with them. He did not know if it was because he was worried that something would happen to his friends, or because he was worried that he would be estranged from his friends. "At least I can carry things and prepare meals for you. I've memorized all the recipes."
The shelf life of dry rations was only about ten days. It was very likely that they would have to stay in the mountains for longer than that. Moreover, if a person had to carry ten days' worth of rations, it would be a huge burden. Therefore, it was still necessary to have the ability to resupply in the wild. At least among the four youths, Turrasden was the most trustworthy in this regard.
Tron was the only one among the four who had been on a mission before, so everyone listened to him first. "Cliff Griffins are not easy to deal with, especially those that are bent on revenge against humans. We have to work together, use our brains, and fight together to complete this mission. I'll go to the library later and look for information on the Cliff Griffins again to see if there's any way to deal with them. Witch Marma, you will check the weapons and equipment. Tulasden, you will prepare the daily necessities. Renault … do you have any ideas? "
"I'll read with you. Maybe I can think of something. I've never been on a mission before, so you lead the team and I'll follow. "
Age was not a weapon. There was no way to defeat the enemy. Only professionalism could.
"It's very dangerous this time. Griffins … you've all seen them. Don't underestimate the strength of Griffins. The one we saw was killed with the help of a sneak attack, the heavy crossbows on the city walls, Lord Giles's own blade, and the unexpected help of the alchemy flame that burned off its feathers. We don't have any of the above advantages this time. "
"Maybe we can sneak attack …" A vague idea came to Renault's mind. After carefully thinking about it in his mind, he said, "The Griffins outside are eager for revenge. Don't we still have the jerky of the previous Griffins? Is there any way to make the smell in the jerky stronger again? Griffins have a good sense of smell — I remember. Maybe a trap will work. We can even do it near the fortress. Then we can use the heavy crossbows. "
"That's right!" Turrasden became excited. "Lure the Griffins here, set a trap, and then use the crossbows! This sounds like a good plan! "
Tron thought carefully, but shook his head under Ben's expectant gaze. "The sky near the fortress is too vast. If the heavy crossbows don't hit, then the Griffins will only attack by air. Lord Giles isn't here, so we can only rely on luck if we want to hit the Griffins with the crossbows. Only one kind of terrain can eliminate the threat of the Griffins flying, so they can only crawl and fight hand-to-hand. You all know that it has to be a forest. If we want to kill the Griffins, we can leave the empty fortress and go to the forest in the valley. The chances of success are higher. "
He glanced at Turrasden and added, "Also, we'll be safer in the forest."
Renault couldn't think of a reason to refute with absolute certainty, so he chose to believe in professionalism at this time. "So, meat jerky as bait is feasible?"
"Of course, what you said is absolutely a good idea! Usually, when we want to lure the Griffins foraging for food, we use bait. A sheep, bleed, stuffed with herbs that emit a certain pungent smell, then hide and wait for the Griffins to fall into the trap. This time, the Griffins aren't foraging for food, but for revenge. But if we change the bait, the other tactics can be similar. "
"I have an idea," Wu Mama suggested. "That damned Griffin's skin was partially burned, but there are still a lot left. We might be able to use it this time. Also, we have a lot of feathers used to make arrows in the warehouse. I think there are some Griffins' feathers among them. I can pick them out and use them on the bait. "
"The Griffins' skull is still there. I know where it's buried. It's easy to dig it out." Turrasden shrank his neck as he spoke. "Drillmaster Giles asked me to bury it somewhere far away. I was lazy and didn't go that far …"
"Okay, all of these can be used. I'll ask Lord Snowy Owl for a Griffin bait. I remember it was on the third layer of the medicine cabinet in his room. "Tron narrowed his eyes.
"Hehe, so you've already set your sights on my things."
The white-robed Guardian appeared silently beside them. His movements were as stealthy as Snowy Owl's. "It's good to hear that you can use your brains to think of a solution. We don't rely on our muscles and teeth to defeat wild beasts. It has always been our brains. You have to leave tomorrow morning, so there isn't much time left. Since you have a plan, start preparing.
