Capítulo 1138: Chapter 1138: The Inevitable Battle

The Gryphon King heard these words and, helplessly, flapped his wings to retreat.

The Black Heart Lord was already seething with anger. He had feigned madness and stupidity to get to this place and had even allied with Fallen Elves. All the while, during his confrontation with the Gryphon Lord, he had been quietly gaining strength.

It wasn't that he couldn't destroy Griffin City, but he felt the timing wasn't right. Unexpectedly, he found himself outmaneuvered by the Gryphon Lord. The loss was too devastating, and he had no idea how long it would take to recover.

If he backed down now, it would certainly make his enemies think he had lost his nerve. With the underground tunnels sealed and no knowledge of when they could reopen, if the Gryphon Lord returned to reorganize his legion, he would truly be in danger.
