Alien Knights

Putting the "Amber Stone" gifted by Leviathan in his waist pocket behind him, Todd, who was holding Rachel in his arms, looked at the woman standing beside him, and said gratefully: "Meredith, thank you for everything you have done for us, I owe you a favor."

Meredith blinked, and said with a smile: "You can remember, that's naturally the best."

Todd paused, and asked again: "Let's leave like this, where your master..."

"The Kingdom of Shadows is like a hometown for those who have passed the trials. You can come here at any time, and naturally you can leave at any time."

Todd walked along the ridge of Xuefeng, and took a last look at the sea of ​​fog covering the land of shadows. He tightened his hands on the reins and let out a loud shout.

Henry the Griffon stood up, with huge wings stretched out, and the strong wind blowing the snow on the ground into the air, his body slowly left the ground and flew towards the sky amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The feeling of flying on a griffin is far stronger than the bumps and pressure caused by the plane just taking off.

Feeling the thrill of flying that he hadn't experienced for a long time, Todd's heart beat violently, and the excitement brought by the hormones in his body made him very happy.

But Rachel buried her body in Todd's arms, and screamed in fright the moment she took off.

Flying above the ridge of the snow-capped mountain, the icy cold wind blows towards their faces, and the bodies of the two of them swayed upwards under the weight of gravity.

In less than five minutes, the griffin flew down the mountain against the wind, passed the temple, and flew towards the edge of the kingdom of shadows.

Cu Chulainn stood in the open space behind the temple, holding up a boulder with both hands, doing daily strength training.

The roaring figure, accompanied by a clear bird song, quickly passed over his head.

Cu Chulainn looked up and was stunned by the scene in his eyes: "There is actually a person sitting on that thing! How is this possible?!"

With a slip of his hands, the boulder fell and landed on his feet impartially.

With a scream, Cu Chulainn covered his feet and rolled all over the floor.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows—Skathach, stood in front of the incomplete statue in the center of the temple, looked at the figure of the Griffin passing by in the damaged courtyard, and whispered: "Maybe..."

Closing her eyes, she with purple hair and red pupils shook her head: "So what, the result will be the same after all..."

Gryphons fly over dense forests, ruined arenas, vine gardens, misty shores, and finally the vast ocean.

Flying above the sea at low altitude, the shadow of the griffin is projected on the sea by the sun, attracting a group of barracudas to jump out of the water.

The air was no longer as cold as before. Todd and Rachel poked their heads out of their clothes, leaned their bodies slightly, and stretched their hands under the Griffin's body.

The blue waves under the sun are dancing and jumping at the fingertips of the two.

In the field of vision, the coast of the Kingdom of Ulster is getting closer.

Todd, who was connected with Henry's soul, felt the fear and tension in the other party's heart, which became stronger and stronger.

The previous attacks in the barbarian kingdom and those painful memories made Henry the Griffin slow down and his movements became hesitant.

Todd leaned down, patted the griffin lightly, and whispered something to it.

The latter cheered up, raised its wings, raised its height, and rushed towards the Kingdom of Ulster.

While hugging Rachel tightly, while holding the reins firmly with both hands, Todd lay his body on the back of the griffin, feeling the wind pressure brought by the full-speed flight of the creature under him.

The screams from the Kingdom City reached Todd's ears. He looked down, and everything in the world seemed to be shrinking slowly. The houses became mosaics, and people turned into grains of dust.

Flying forward for another hour, Todd felt that the vibration frequency of the griffin's wings was getting slower and slower. He said loudly to Rachel in his arms: "We have to find a place to land."

Rachel closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale: "Hurry up! Let this bird go down!"

Using the "Eagle Eye" to observe the surrounding terrain, Todd adjusted the direction of the Griffin based on the impression in his memory, and flew towards the direction of the "Froststone Tribe".

The destination is hidden in the forest. It was not easy to locate it in the sky, but Todd found the camp without any effort.

Because, over the camp of the Froststone Tribe, there was thick black smoke floating, even if it was several kilometers away, it could be easily seen.

Commanding the griffin to fly over the destination, Todd checked the camp below repeatedly, and only slowly landed on the ground after confirming its safety.

The camp of the Froststone Tribe was in ruins, and there were no traces of living people, and all the buildings were burned by the fire.

The charred wood still exudes smoke, traces of fighting can be seen everywhere on the ground, and wet blood splatters on weapons and arrows.

Henry the Griffon hated the smell in the air very much, and retreated while screaming. It took Todd a lot of effort to stabilize his emotions.

Rachel, who couldn't adapt to flying, the first thing she did after landing on the ground was to find a corner and retch for a long time.

After she calmed down a bit, she walked to Todd's side, picked up a broken arrow, pointed at the mark on it, and said weakly: "Ulster slave catcher."

After taking the arrow and looking at the mark, Todd looked up at the surrounding ruins, and accidentally found a figure flashing in front of him.

Using the "speed" ability to catch up with that figure, Todd turned his shoulder over the other's shoulder and saw a somewhat familiar boy's face appearing in front of him.

"You are..." Todd searched carefully in his mind for a while, and suddenly remembered that this was the tribal boy he saved from the mouth of the griffin.

The boy's face was black and gray, squatting on the ground trembling, sobbing softly.

It took Todd a long time to ask some details from him, and then use reasoning to finally understand the whole story of what happened.

The Kingdom of Ulster suffered a defeat in the south, and the army was seriously downsized, so they had to arrest tribe members to supplement the army.

The capture of the Froststone Tribe was a late-night raid.

The slave hunters of the Kingdom of Ulster blocked the exit of the basin in advance, climbed across the hills in the dark, created chaos, and drove the villagers of the tribe into the traps that had been set up.

Up and down the tribe, including Boyle, the old shaman and others, were captured and sent to the slavery in the Kingdom of Ulster.

"There is a southern woman with an injured leg and foot, has she been caught too?" Todd squatted down, looked at the boy and asked.

The latter shook his head in confusion, causing Todd to sigh deeply.

Rachel looked at Todd and asked softly, "What should we do now?"

Todd rubbed his temples, and replied with a headache: "I'm not a guy who is good at owed favors."
