Roar.

A deafening roar.

A roar that makes people subconsciously fall into panic and shocks the soul.

The canopy is obscured by black.

The smell of blood gradually spread.

The wind piercing from the heavens.

The huge wind pressure generated when the huge body hits the ground.

"Hey, it's a good time, I say!!"

Randy gripped the axe in both hands, struggling to keep himself from falling to the ground, his orange coat rattling in the storm. The weather was not cold, but the rapid speed of the wind quickly deprived the body of body temperature, making the body function sluggish.

"That's not right! Not by chance! ”

As the storm subsided, the air flow created by the giant griffin's flapping wings naturally stopped when it stopped flapping.

You roared with all his might against the strong wind that was gradually subduing, as if otherwise the others would not be able to hear what he was saying—of course, even if he didn't have to roar, the others could hear it clearly, but the wind gave You the illusion that even if he shouted desperately, the sound would be blown away.

"What? Isn't it accidental? ”

Noelle asked aloud. She and her other guards were carrying their companions and were very close to the armored vehicle, and before the hurricane hit, it was much easier for her to use the armored vehicle as a cover than the people in the support department.

"Ahh Oh, yes! Think about what happened here before......"

You's face gradually became harsh. Without waiting for others to answer, he took the initiative to give the answer: "It's the Great Cleanup of Warcraft!" The Karumon Consortium's Demonic Beast Cleanup has led to a sharp decrease in the number of Demonic Beasts in this area! Demonic beasts that can be used as food are almost non-existent! It came here because it was attracted by the Qiyao Stone Crystal inside the engine of the guided armored car! It's here to hunt! ”

The hurricane still subsided, but everyone's body was cold.

Because the impact of the griffon was so great that everyone's attention was drawn to it, and they didn't notice the fact that it should have been.

Even Yuki Tatsumi didn't notice.

Perhaps, that's why he's nicknamed "Tactician" rather than "Strategist." Tactics, you only need to think about how to win, and defeating the strong with the weak is the most talked about tactics. Strategy, on the other hand, is more to consider, the big picture is its most important ability, and the integration of seemingly unrelated intelligence determines the outcome of the battle before the battle.

Yu Tatsumi lacks a grasp of the overall battle situation. On a small-scale "battlefield", he is sure that he will be able to make no mistakes, but the large-scale "battle situation" is still too difficult for him.

At this time, You once again realized the weakness of his overall view, and it was at this time that he suddenly reacted to what the purpose of that unreasonable planting was.

Fusion of the previous Karumon consortium's monster eradication campaign, the high-profile display of strength, this time full of loopholes, and the mysterious forces that are fighting openly and secretly with the Karumon consortium......

"Come two people, take the wounded away first!"

Noelle immediately recovered from his fear and gave the order rationally. In this way, although there will be two people who are not fighting hard, it can reduce casualties. The wounded were protected by armored vehicles, but the small armored vehicles were still too weak in the face of the griffons as tall as the buildings.

"Give it up. It is unlikely that the armored vehicle will still be able to start. ”

Yu's voice was a little impatient, but as always, it contained confidence that made it difficult to doubt its authenticity.

"Why?"

"Quite simply, I already know what the ambush side is aiming for...... Let's face this monster head-on! If I'm not mistaken, this mysterious force is near us...... Hmph, it's a good conspiracy. ”

You sneered. He's in a very bad mood right now. Calculating people is a very pleasant thing, but being counted by others is very infuriating. Yu Tatsumi will not lose his rationality because of this, but his mood is helplessly messed up.

Noelle was speechless. Subconsciously, she transported the injured people outside the car to their own car. After all, at first, I just wanted to let them rest, and there was still a fluke mentality that they might wake up, so they were transported into their armored vehicles. Moreover, because of the time, there was no time to check the performance of the armored car.

Could it be that even this mistake was in their calculations? Noelle thought with some loss.

"Our mode of action should not be known to the other side, which is why they will wait nearby, and I can guarantee that if you transport them to our armored vehicles, the engines will also be sniped when you leave...... Because their purpose is to let us fight the griffin, and then determine our strength, whether it can play a role in containment, and then talk about it later, and fight it off first. ”

When Noelle heard this, he shook his head vigorously, and the expression of loss on his face swept away with the flicking of his short brown hair. As a soldier, you have to learn to adjust your state quickly.

"Team Noelle, all of them change into shooting weapons! Try to fight with shooting and magic. ”

Following Noelle's order, a guard with an axe and gun immediately jumped into the armored car full of the wounded, took off the rifle on the wounded man's back and threw it to his teammates.

"So, Special Mission Support Section, now start attracting griffin targets."

Lloyd also gave the battle instructions as calmly as possible: "The goal this time is too huge, abandon close combat, and focus on magic." ”

"Haha, there's a lot more to look like, Captain, but...... I'm still not used to it. ”

Randy was talking about rifles.

For some reason, Randy hates rifles.

And the guiding magic, he is not very adaptable. Therefore, he still chose to fight closely.

"Now, swim, is there a way to send me up?"

Except for Yuki Tatsumi, everyone saw the griffin for the first time, and sure enough, the most eye-catching thing was the size, followed by the huge wound that stained the forelimbs a dark red. It was last night or early this morning, the wound cut by the Wind Sword Saint, even if it was a monster-level recovery power, it still hadn't healed.

Randy's thought was simple, follow that wound and be ruthless! Turn up the power of the Guiding Axe Gun to the maximum, and hold the awareness of the weapon being scrapped, so that it hurts even more!

If you can make the griffin understand that his group is no less dangerous than Arios and them, then the griffin will take the initiative to escape, right?

Moreover, if Lloyd on the ground was so far away, they might not be able to see what Randy had done, that is, it didn't matter if he showed a little strength.

"Wait, wait, Randy...... That's dangerous! ”

Ellie shouted worriedly.

"I agree with Randy's senpai."

Theo unexpectedly offered a different view.

And looking at the condensed look in her eyes, she must have the idea of competing with the garrison.

"I'm sorry, but I actually agree with Randy and Theo, the Support Section should have its own tactics. As for the way to send you up, do you think I have it? ”

Lobbying, pulling out the chain from the chain box, connecting himself with the people in the support department, and immediately forming a net centered on Yu Tatsumi.

Lloyd sighed and smiled wryly: "You have all decided, what else can I say?" ”

Unlike its previous performance, the griffon did not attack recklessly this time, but cautiously observed these "little bugs". After all, just a few hours ago, there had been an incident where a little bug had almost killed itself, and no matter how dull the griffin was, it was somewhat cautious.

However, IQ is not something that can be compensated by one or two lessons. Now, its patience for observation is almost exhausted, and it can't tell whether the enemy is a master or a mediocre one, and hunger makes it unwilling to endure.

The griffon threw its head back and let out a loud roar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the garrison immediately concentrated its fire on the throat of the griffin and launched a shot! Noelle himself even directly erected a shoulder-resistant quadruple bazooka.

In general, the launch of a bazooka erupts a fiery tailitis, which would have been unsuitable for use in the forest, since it was easy to start a fire. But Noelle used it anyway.

Because it really needs its firepower.

Secondly, Noelle also thought about it. Knox Forest is moist all year round because the flare vein of the water attribute is active, and the wood is flammable, and it is said to be dry wood. If it is a humid environment and the tree contains a lot of water, it is difficult to ignite. Moreover, the bazooka used by Noelle is a guide model, although it still uses a gunpowder-type structure for the sake of cost, but the recoil and tailitis are much smaller than the gunpowder bazooka. Otherwise, Noelle himself would not have been able to withstand the recoil of the bazooka.

Thinking that the possibility of causing a forest fire was very small, Noelle did not hesitate to use this mass killing weapon.

The rocket spewed thick gray smoke right in the griffon's throat, and with a boom, it exploded into a large cloud of black smoke.

It was as if announcing the beginning of the battle.
