Play To Win's

Level 139 - Guard

"Aragh!" Jackson grumbled in annoyance. "Why hasn't he been gone since yesterday?" He was upset while staring at Laurence who had just been silent and played the ashes from the firewood they used last night to warm themselves and make a bonfire.

The old man looked towards him. "Maybe he doesn't want to" he commented flatly.

Jackson said, "let's do something. If it's like this, maybe I'll buy more time. Besides I have to bring the Kane Collection in his custody, I also have to find Joanne and Smith."

"What can I really do? I'm just an ordinary guardian spirit" Laurence said, turning to him with an innocent face.

"You're a bitch." Jackson sat on the ground, his face upset and his hands folded across his chest like a child sulking at his mother for not being given candy.

"Aren't you supposed to face the eagle? But why are you acting so cowardly and choosing to wait for him to leave?" Laurence's words succeeded in making Jackson stunned.

"P-coward?" Deuteronomy with an increasingly irritated face. Laurence nodded his head slowly.

"Didn't you dare to face it alone?"

"I don't dare. It's just, I'm worried that my energy is drained from facing it. If I lose, it means I'm going to die and I can't win this game. And if I can't win, it means I can't save Charis. Plus, inside there the eagle is not alone. Didn't you see? There are so many children, and they are all in their infancy. If I attack them alone, there I lose because of the number. They can attack simultaneously, let alone chicks that in their infancy can be more aggressive than their mothers." Obviously Jackson.

"Hm. maybe what you say has a point too." The old man confirmed. "Then what's your plan? Are you going to keep waiting for the mother to go find food for them?"

Joanne stepped back until she arrived at the gate where the Griffin had gathered.

He hides in the bushes that are there, peering a little to notice the situation and make sure the surroundings are safe; before finally he smuggled in and took the Kane Collection which they guarded like Instructions he had to complete.

"For they failed to catch me yesterday, now it seems that they set up a guarding formation in front of the gate." Joanne murmured as she watched the gate now adorned by several Griffins on guard to make sure no one could enter without their permission.

"If this is the way, I'll have to find another way to get in."

"But.. how?" Joanne was silent for a moment, trying to find a way to get in unnoticed by all the Griffins on guard.

"It seems that it will be very difficult, let alone there are many valuable, besides on land; they are also standing guard in the air." Joanne looked up at the several Griffins that were hovering and circling to ensure that her territory was safe from any disturbances that might occur from the air.

"In a situation like this, what should I do?"
