If Song Jian had killed these griffins, although he could occupy the griffin nest, he would have had to wait a day to recruit griffins as troops—recruitment could only take place the next day. However, if he managed to make these griffins submit, they would immediately join Song Jian's army.
Under the threat of death, three griffins chose to submit, while one griffin refused to surrender and was killed by the spearmen. These soldiers were also able to gain proficiency by killing enemies, which allowed for promotion. Two spearmen had advanced to level three, and four to level two.
Song Jian checked the attributes of the griffins. As level three troops, their attributes were a big step above the spearmen's, but correspondingly, the battle experience required for leveling up had also increased substantially.
