Chapter 766 - 486: Zong Shen’s Arrangements—One Big Brother and Several Second Brothers
With its tier and physique, it’s at least as much as half a Grassland Ox.
The Grassland Ox in this world is a type of wild ox, much larger than the domesticated ones.
A half Grassland Ox would still weigh two to three hundred kilograms.
And that’s just one meal; normally it needs to eat three to five meals a day.
Of course, that’s if it’s hunting; if resting in the nest, one meal is enough.
After finishing the dried meat, perhaps it was just his imagination, but Zong Shen felt that the creature’s gaze became much more harmonious.
"From now on, you’re with me."
"The name Wind Ridge·Roar Blood is a thing of the past."
"From now on, you’ll be called..."
Zong Shen pondered, looking at its bald eagle-like head and suddenly thought of a name.
"Hmm, Eagle!"
"From now on, you’ll be called Eagle!"
He casually gave the Dragon Vein Griffin a name with Earth characteristics.
He never takes pet naming seriously, as long as it’s easy to remember and call out.
"Very good, Eagle."
"Now take me back to the Griffin’s Nest!"
As Zong Shen spoke, he climbed up its neck along one of its wings.
Its body was covered in scales and hardened feathers.
These scales seemed tiny to Eagle, but each was the length of Zong Shen’s forearm, making them excellent grip points for climbing.
As Zong Shen sat behind Eagle’s neck, he could distinctly feel its body tremble slightly.
This position had left a deep mental scar on Eagle.
Previously, Zong Shen had ridden here, hammering it to the point of shared death.
"Back to the Griffin’s Nest!"
Zong Shen lightly patted its neck.
Eagle dared not delay, quickly flapping its wings, rising to two or three kilometers in the air.
Its head turned as if confirming the direction.
Finally, it chose a direction, and its massive wings started flapping rhythmically.
After the previous ordeal, Zong Shen couldn’t determine the range.
There were accelerations, dives, lifts, and complex maneuvers.
Only with specific orientation abilities could anyone know where they are.
Even though there was Loyalty, Zong Shen cautiously consulted the Guide Module.
Letting it navigate with a golden mark.
It proved Eagle was indeed heading towards the Griffin’s Nest.
Finally reassured, he took out the Communication Crystal to contact Wenresa.
Instructing them to follow the Flying Tiger to the Scorpion-tailed Tiger’s nest to see if there were any left-behind Tigers or cubs.
And perhaps check for any Treasure Chests.
Griffins and Scorpion-tailed Tigers can’t be placed together; they would surely fight.
Hence, they need to separately identify the nests’ locations to prepare for future Teleportation Arrays.
At the end of the communication, he instructed Wenresa and Luna to select ten Commander-level Scorpion-tailed Tigers to take the Warriors back to the Territory in batches.
In the future, the Territory would have teams taking turns using goblin airships to patrol these two nests.
Zong Shen would equip them with Communication Crystals.
When needed, they could use the Communication Crystals to contact the sentries on both sides.
Summoning Griffins or Scorpion-tailed Tigers to support the Territory.
A Captain-level Griffin could reach them in forty minutes.
The Scorpion-tailed Tigers were slightly slower, and Zong Shen didn’t know the extent of their nest.
At least, it’s likely a few hundred kilometers from the Griffin’s Nest.
But no matter what, spending a couple of hours should get them out of the woods.
Though cumbersome, this perfectly avoided these two arch-enemies.
Moreover, both Griffin Beasts and Scorpion-tailed Tigers could better thrive in the wilderness nests than in the Territory.
Letting them hunt freely not only sustains them but solves the big beasts’ dietary needs as well.
With stronger Griffins, Zong Shen planned to ride Eagle and take some Captain and Commander-level Griffins back.
The weaker Scorpion-tailed Tigers should have Flying Tigers patrol, moving constantly between the nests and the Territory.
Bringing ten Scorpion-tailed Tigers back, arranging for a captive point in Sitanos Village or Dinan Village.
This batch of Scorpion-tailed Tigers would be used as surprise troops near the Territory.
Make ten solid large iron cages to contain them, supervised by Master Mars if in Sitanos, or Tiezhu if in Dinan.
Every day, send Flying Tigers to intimidate and suppress, ensuring the Scorpion-tailed Tigers behave.
For now, this arrangement would have to suffice.
You can’t have both fish and bear’s paw; at least for now.
After communications, Zong Shen leisurely admired the high-altitude scenery.
Eagle’s enormous head cut through the air currents and winds.
Gazing upon the earth from thousands of meters above instilled a sense of dominance.
This perspective cannot be experienced from the ground.
It’s no wonder there’s something called "flying addiction."
With Eagle flying smoothly, it took seventeen or eighteen minutes to return to the Griffin’s Nest.
A large group of Griffins still circled in the sky.
They made various calls as if communicating.
When their leader Eagle came into view, all the Griffins flapped their wings and gathered around.
In the battle with the Scorpion-tailed Tigers, eight Griffins had died.
But the remaining Griffins were still densely packed.
