It was just a group of Dark Griffin Knights. There were more than 30, which was quite a lot, but they were only at Level-5. Link took out his Demon Slayer Whip and turned three nearby griffins and their knights into bloody rain with a single strike.
The other Dark Griffin Knights were shocked. The Red Dragon was difficult to handle, and now there were strong reinforcements. They couldn't stay any longer and turned to run.
They were insignificant so Link didn't chase after them. "Let's fly towards Ferde," he told Lannie.
Lannie made the small airship turn and fly towards the Ferde Territory in the southeast. In the cabin, Link turned to look. Felina had already caught on and followed.
The two flew one before another. About half an hour later, Ferde's trademark yellow dirt appeared in their vision. Link pointed at a patch of space. "Let's stop there."
