The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 877: Capturing the Griffin
"I can sense the aura of a large group of high-level magical beasts!" Doss in Roland's arms suddenly spoke from a distance.

"Those griffins are on the southern foot of the Gray Mountains! They can block the north wind there!" Roland thought about the information in the intelligence and nodded.

"Hide your aura!" Roland communicated with all the dragon knights and dragons through his mental power. After all, the griffins were also high-level monsters with enough wisdom and combat power. The dragon's flamboyant aura would be completely sensed by the griffins! These griffins might not be moved by just one dragon, but if a group of dragons flew over, these griffins would definitely run away if they were not fools!
"Got it!" The dragon knights nodded one after another, and the two giant dragons flying alone also obediently restrained their dragon power. Suddenly, the oppressive feeling in the air disappeared instantly, as if everything had disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, in a valley in the Gray Mountains, a group of griffins hid in warm caves according to their families. The big and small griffins were close together, and they had soft hay under them to keep out the cold! More than ten caves in the valley were full of griffins, and even these caves were dug out by the griffins with their own skills! However, not all griffins lived in caves. Some griffins hid in dry trees and used dead branches to build a huge spherical bird's nest for themselves. The bird's nest facing away from the wind can also resist the invasion of the cold wind.

The grand scene of griffins rising and falling in the past is no longer here. Only a few diligent adult griffins will take turns to be on guard. A huge adult male griffin struggled to pick up a sub-adult bull. The huge noise of the bull landing on the ground disturbed the dozing guards.

"Cry!" The loud eagle cry resounded throughout the valley. The other hibernating griffins did not move. Only a few alert griffins opened their eyes, climbed up and began to eat.

……

"It must be very painful if this thing is scratched!" Roland whispered.

"That thing will rip your head open if it pecks you!" The Smurf cursed "viciously".

"Silly boy! Are you testing the professionalism of your emperor? Can the Golden Dragon Knight be killed by a griffin? Doss doesn't need a living person, just kill him directly!" Roland chuckled.

"..." The Smurf was speechless. After all, Doss was the Dragon King of the entire Lagran Kingdom in name and in reality! The blood of the golden dragon was as pure as gold! In terms of bloodline, it was equivalent to the level of the Holy Terra's five-star red flag! As a giant dragon, the Smurf could ruthlessly mock Roland, but he could not insult the golden dragon Doss.

"Your Majesty! What should we do?" As the top fighter on this trip, Dragon Rider Commander Kaslo flexed his wrists with an eager look on his face.

"How to do it? Of course, just block the door!" What good strategy can Roland have? It's not like he's fighting anyone, so how can he use the Thirty-Six Stratagems to show off his poor command skills? But when fighting against a monster that doesn't know any military tactics, there seems to be no other way except a head-on confrontation!
"..."Caslo was stunned and felt like it was unnecessary to ask him!

"Just charge!" Roland continued. There were only a few dozen griffins. How could it be harder than those flying dragons? And Roland didn't bring anyone else this time, only the dragon knights because the dragon knights' fighting power had already successfully crushed those griffins, so there was no need for other sages and wise men to use forbidden spells to block them!
"Ajax! Dos Anthony! Chasing Light! Caslo! Go block the other end!" Roland assigned the tasks. The east-west valley only needed to be blocked for two days and the air controlled to successfully catch the turtle in the jar!
"Then you here..." Kaslo glanced at Weiss and Purple Chain. Roland had thrown all his high-level combat forces to one side, so he was left with only Weiss, the couple, and a lonely Purple Thunder Dragon!

"I have Doss here! Don't worry!" Although Doss's endurance is not good, no one would doubt the fighting power of this golden dragon that can temporarily borrow the power of its ancestors! If he wants to and gives him enough time, he can definitely tear the griffins here apart with one dragon!
"Remember! I want them alive! Don't kill them! They are the hope of the future kingdom!" Roland warned, but everyone's reaction to Roland's words was extremely indifferent. He also said the same thing when he captured Joel and the others!

"Action!" Roland waved his hand and gave the order, which meant the work of rounding up these griffins had begun. These griffins had done nothing wrong. Their only sin was that they were too close to Roland and he was targeting them! "Eighteen adults! This means that the population of these creatures may exceed fifty! And it is not ruled out that they will have new members joining!" Roland muttered to himself and calculated.

After all, griffins are social animals. In the northern border where there are no natural enemies, they will expand their population and territory without scruples. That's why they were able to snowball into such a large griffin settlement. When food is abundant, wandering griffins will choose to join a griffin settlement with a fixed territory to settle down. They will wait for the opposite sex griffins in the settlement to reach adulthood and form a new family with them. Therefore, a hunting ground with abundant food can raise a group of griffins that even dragons fear!

"Ang!" In the distance, the loud dragon roar of Cardo resounded through the sky, and Roland couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"They've started! We can go in now!" Roland grinned. The stage had been set up and the actors were in place. It was time to start the big show!
"Roar!" Doss rushed out of Roland's arms, and his figure began to grow rapidly in the flashing golden light! The huge membrane wings cast a large shadow! The majestic dragon roar shook the snow off the trees.

"Ang!" The giant dragons released their dragon power without reservation, and the terrifying dragon power was almost real! The monsters and wild beasts within a hundred miles all crawled on the ground, holding their breath and hoping not to be noticed by the giant dragons.

"Cry!" The terrifying dragon's might immediately alerted the griffins, and the pressure that followed made them completely mad! The alert adult griffins all stood up their hair, spread their wings and cried. Their sharp warnings quickly awakened the hibernating griffins.

"Cry! Cry!" As the adult griffins woke up one after another, they were not frightened by the dragons. Instead, they formed a circle in the air in front of everyone's surprised gaze. The adult griffins protected the sub-adult and young griffins behind them and aimed directly at one place to prepare for a breakout.

"I thought they would run away in all directions!" Roland said in surprise.

"Intelligent species with a sense of group organization are not those brainless beasts! They have their own civilization!" Doss warned. Although dragons look down on every race equally at the strategic level, it does not mean that dragons will take a complete group of griffins lightly.

"Tear!" Two electric nets suddenly flashed, and as their range grew larger and larger, they directly blocked the entire valley.

"Dos Anthony and Kurt have taken action!" Nyx nodded. The blue electric net was obviously the dragon power of Kurt, Dos Anthony's dragon! As for the purple one... the real owner was right next to them!

"They're breaking out in the direction of Lord Kaslo!" Weiss shouted, stretching out his hand.

"Let's go! Let's go help! These griffins can't run away!" Roland said. Unless the griffins were crazy, they would not rush into the golden dragon's defense line. The big brother with the deepest aura in the whole audience, how desperate would the griffins have to be to rush here?
