Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

"Report to the captain, no."

"In fact, even the demihuman army of the beast-like quadruped has already left."

"However, there is a demon queen among them who can use the magic [Eagle Eyes]. When we were in the army, she placed a guard behind them. So I controlled the storm and didn't get too close. I even let the storm use magic to temporarily hide our tracks."

Green responded to Vargan's words calmly and quickly, while Storm was his griffon companion.

Although [Eagle Eyes] itself has the magic of [Invisibility], which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, it is not too difficult for warriors with keen perception, or even griffins, to detect these.

"Is this so..."

Valgan nodded.

This situation was not unexpected to him. After all, most of the sub-humans were a group of profit-seeking people, and it was not easy to gather so many people.

At first he was worried that this group of demihumans would hide nearby and attack at night, but now it seems there is nothing to worry about.

Then Vargan glanced at the dwarves brought by Green and immediately asked about what he was most concerned about.

"Now that you're here, where's the gathering place?"

"Have you forgotten, Captain, that there are still those young people in the gathering place?"

"Although you always say that they are young and impetuous and not suitable to join us, you should at least recognize Andro's ability!"

Green said with a smile, and glanced at Valgan while speaking. Seeing that the other party was not angry, he continued.

"I'll let Andro take the young people of the tribe to patrol the sky instead of us old guys. Together with the Argali Cavalry in the gathering place, there won't be any big problems."

"I also specially left them a magic communication item. If there is any danger, they can call for help immediately. With the speed of our griffins, it won't take long to get there."

Green said, continuing to look at Valgan's expression. Although he was still not angry, his face was grim. If they continued like this, they would probably have to go back soon after coming here.

After a little hesitation, Green gritted his teeth and risked being beaten by Wang before speaking.

"W...Captain!"

"In fact, we old guys should give way to the young people. If we don't let them exercise, how can they protect the gathering place that has not yet grown after we are gone?"

"And Captain, you guys brought back so much food this time..."

"Look, isn't it better for us to stay here than to stay in the gathering place? It also saves some food for the gathering place."

The more Green spoke, the less confident he became, and he looked at Vargan angrily.

But the reason why he had this expression was not because everything he said was false. In fact, everything he said was true.

Although the once powerful Griffin Knights only had a dwarf and a griffin in his early 100s, there were actually still quite a few griffins that had been born within the past 100 years and dwarf knights who could tame them, probably dozens of them.

However, their strength fluctuates greatly, ranging from silver level (Lv.7-10) to platinum level (Lv.15-17). Although they have been receiving their training and their quality is guaranteed, their strength is still too weak in the eyes of the current Griffin Knights.

Even at the platinum level, there are only two or three people who have reached this point, not to mention that their ages are between a few dozen and two hundred years old, which is still too young in the eyes of dwarves whose lifespan is hundreds of years.

But they had no choice.

Because there are only two ways to have a griffin fighting partner.

One is to get along with the griffin when it is young and turn it into your partner and friend.

Griffins are very smart monsters, even smarter than most humans, not to mention that the knowledge of how to hunt and kill prey is naturally passed down in their blood.

If you want to become a partner with a griffin, you must first learn to play games with it.

But the game of griffins is to bite and fight each other to deepen the memory in their blood, so many dwarves are often injured when they first start playing with griffins.

And this is just the beginning.

Only after passing this level will you be qualified to seek the recognition of the griffin when it grows up, which is the most difficult part.

There are many wonderful stories and legends in this world, and among them, the legend that the griffin favors the hero is spread throughout the continent.

It is said that the griffin has the power to see through a person's true nature. It is difficult to gain the recognition of a griffin, but if you accompany and play with a child for a long time, the griffin will lower its standards.

But all the griffins knew very well that they were going to fight and kill.

If you choose a partner who is not strong but with whom you have deep feelings, the final result will be that both of you will lose your lives.

But lowering standards does not mean having no principles.

Therefore, dwarves often equip a griffin with many dwarf candidates to play with when it is young, in order to screen out the most suitable one as much as possible, and also to prevent a dwarf from being unable to withstand the playfulness of the griffin.

In addition to this method, another way is to let the griffin choose you.

Anyone who can be chosen by the Griffin is a true hero without exception.

Over the centuries, there have only been a few examples in the Dwarf Kingdom, including one involving their former king.

Green couldn't help but look at Valgan, but then immediately lowered his head.

Because of these well-known reasons, there are few griffin riders, and the dwarves are still young, so the patrols are all in the charge of these old guys.

But this will give rise to another problem.

Griffins need a lot of food, especially meat, when they patrol, and young griffins also need these things to grow, which means their supply in this area has always been scarce.

Their departure would allow the little guys to exercise more and even eat more.

Of course the most important thing is that both Green and the dwarves he brought actually want to participate in this action.

Because all the dwarves of the Order of the Griffin knew that they owed Urek their lives.

The youngest of them is over 500 years old. Everyone is old, and no one wants to leave with guilt.

Are they really going to wait until they return to the embrace of the Earth Mother and meet Urek and hear that they did not keep their covenant after two hundred years. When your offspring were in trouble, we were unable to help them for some reason?

Although Yurek might not blame them at that time, they themselves would not feel at ease!

Chapter 140 The Chosen Boy (4300)

Although they did not draw a good lot in the subsequent drawing, they were finally retained.

But this does not mean that they have given up the idea. Now, with Green taking the lead and even paving the way for them, they naturally followed one by one. There is no reason to hesitate.

Even for these dwarves, some current events can prove the correctness of their decision.

The newly arrived dwarves looked at their griffins feasting not far away and were glad that they had followed along this time. Their companions had not enjoyed their meals so much in a long time.

But they did not dare to look at their king's face.

After all, even though you think you did nothing wrong, that may not be the case with the king.

Maybe the king has other considerations?

For a moment, all the dwarves present lowered their heads, fearing that their king would read these words on their faces.

But as the king of the Hill Dwarf Kingdom two hundred years ago, and also the leader of the Griffin Knights, how could Vargan not know what these people who have followed him for hundreds of years are thinking?

He originally wanted to reprimand Green and the others in front of him, but when he really saw the mottled wrinkles on their faces, he couldn't help but stop his mouth that had just opened.

Silence. There was only silence in the dense forest at this moment.

After a long while, Valgan let out a long sigh and turned away.

"In that case, you should just follow me for the time being."

"After the griffins have finished enjoying their food, come with me to meet the heir of Besares."

"Why did you guys rashly bring in so many extra people? Don't you think about how I'm going to explain this?"

Valgan snorted coldly as he spoke.

But the dwarves behind him became more and more happy and even blinked their eyes.

Just as Vargan knew them, so they knew their king.

"But don't think that this matter is over just because I agree!"

"I will take time to return to the gathering place for random inspections in the next few days. If the evaluation is not up to standard, you will have to bear the consequences!"

"Now, everyone stand at attention. Some people go to the sheep cart and get some meat. We'll have a snack, and then..."

"Green!"

"exist!"

"Take you and your people with you, and after eating, follow us on foot back to Pioneer City. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, leader!"

Green saluted excitedly. He was willing to do anything as long as he could stay.

At this time, many dwarves on the side were also excited.

Then the dwarves, led by Green, ran to their own griffins with grins and began to snatch food from their old friends.

But the excitement on his face because the leader agreed to their request made the griffins who were still eating stunned.

Is there any food here for them as well?

Are the dwarves not having a good time in the city these days?

For a moment, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of many griffins present, and some even used their heads to give a few more pieces of meat to Green and others.

At first, Green and the others were quite happy, but when they noticed the expressions on the griffins' faces, they suddenly realized that they had been silent for a long time.

After taking only a little meat, he fled immediately, and the worried cries of griffins could be heard behind him.

When Green arrived in front of Valgan, he immediately saw his boss's face with a dark expression.

Vargan suddenly felt a little regretful now. Can this guy really arrange the affairs of the dwarf gathering place?

After the dwarves had a simple meal to fill their stomachs, they said goodbye to the griffin and headed for the pioneer city.

Along the way, Vargan unceremoniously drove the argali towards the pioneer city quickly. The short legs of Green and others behind him danced like Hot Wheels, and their afterimages were almost invisible. They were chasing after Vargan and others closely.

This is the Griffin Knights with an average strength of Lv.23.

With the physical fitness brought by this strength alone, Vargan was confident that it would be no big deal for him to lead this group of people to run a few kilometers.

However, their fast running behavior obviously attracted the attention of Pioneer City.

After all, Kaituo City is just holding a banquet, which does not mean that the whole city will be closed.

We have all the necessary precautions, and we are not stupid.

However, the soldiers on duty in the pioneer city at this time looked at the dwarves who went out in dozens and came back in dozens more, and for a moment they couldn't help but wonder if they had drunk too much and were having this hallucination.

He immediately stretched out his fingers and started counting on the spot.

After confirming that he was not hallucinating, he immediately ran to report.

Although the dwarves were heroes who helped them to build the city, they still had to report such a bizarre incident before deciding whether to open the city gates to them.

However, just as the soldier went to his superior to explain the situation, a clear voice interrupted their communication.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, open the door."

The soldiers and officers were suddenly confused. Who are you to dare to speak in such a loud voice?

When they looked in the direction of the sound, a young girl and an old man appeared before them. They were so excited that they immediately knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness!"

Before, they might not have known what the lord of Pioneer City, the Princess of the Holy Kingdom, looked like. However, the series of events that happened today can be said to have made all the residents of Pioneer City remember this princess.

First, the attack of the demi-humans allowed these soldiers to see the power of the princess and the old man beside her.

After that, tonight's banquet won the trust of everyone in Kaituo City.

Plus those weird and superstitious believers...

If nothing else, they are loyal.

"Everyone, get up and do as I say. However, you should report what happened here as usual and tell the legion commander."

Karko said with a smile, then looked at Fluder who was standing beside him.

"Let's go, Mr. Fluder. I should take this opportunity to return some things to those dwarves before the party is over."

"Your will, Your Highness."

Fluder nodded slightly, and followed behind Karko.

After the dwarves entered the pioneer city, they looked at the open gate in surprise, and then followed the direction of their gaze and immediately saw Kalko and Fluder who had been waiting inside for a long time.
