However, the Griffins with not use any frontal attack.
‘If you want to come further, then come. There is no way you bastards will be able to survive.’
This terrified them, and with night raids every night they had to watch their surrounding carefully.
They were about the third of the way into the Gorge, which was too far to turn around, the Griffins’ attacks began in earnest.
The Predators of the Land Guild experienced a series of deaths. Words of their failed attempt were up for discussion.
Other guilds laughed at the Predators of the Land guild for their recklessness.
“Unless you’re crazy, you can’t challenge the Havelin Gorge.”
There are other guilds who had larger military strength compared to The Predators of the Land guild. Nevertheless, they would not dare to challenge a dangerous area such as Havelin Gorge.
Especially when defeat was guaranteed.
Because their guild had high prestige, they would be the focus of all players in the Versailles continent. If they were to fail, their reputation would drop significantly.
Additionally, even if they were successful, if many of the core players died, they would suffer great losses.
Although the guilds occasionally exercised their military strength, they were very cautious about it. Therefore the Predators of the Land guild were ridiculed for fearlessly challenging the Havelin Gorge.
“Since they’re leading the guild recklessly, they will fail and end up lost in the North.”
Nevertheless, the Daymond and the Predators of the Land Guild continued to stay strong despite their losses.
However, they were anxious because of the Griffins.
Because Griffins were aerial monsters, only arrows and magic could slay them.
Nonetheless, there was a place of refuge for them.
Griffins’ nest was in the centre of the Havelin Gorge!
In the nest, there were baby Griffins that did not have wings or knew how to fly.
After the Predators of the Land guild, led by Daymond, arrived at the nest and started a terrible and bloody fight, they obtained an unbelievable victory.
In order to kill the Griffin King, they had to capture 35 little Griffins. The value of successfully capturing and taming one Griffin in an aerial battle, was enormous.
There was a movie in real-time of the battle in Havelin’s Gorge posted on the Hall of Fame. Many lost their lives in the battle but the guild fought until the Griffin King had been killed which impressed many of the viewers.
People were completely captivated by the Predators of the Land Guild’s recklessness.

Weed’s concerns about the value of the sculpting request was deepening.
“Though, it can’t be helped. They say that learning is theft…”
There was no other way to develop the art of sculpture. He could only accomplish the requests in silence!
“Good work.”
“No, not at all.”
Even though the Dwarf who had entrusted the request to him came, Weed only gave curt responses.
“Oh! It’s a really great piece of artwork.”
“I simply carved it.”
“To think that you could trim the surface so smoothly… And look at the curvature of the surface. To think that we could see the pinnacle of grace in the curvature!”
“Since I made it with a lot of consideration, please stop the cheap talk and give me money.”
The height of exhaustion!
