While Sui Xiong and Arcaian were engaged in a long conversation that was destined to leave a strong mark in the medical history of this world, the war between the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom was in full swing.
Because the Orc Army rarely moved slowly, it gave the Eagle Kingdom enough time to react. King Woods Igor listened to the reports of the generals and soldiers who had retreated from the previous battle in the City of Iron. After some contemplation and discussion, he finally decided to send out the air force that he had originally planned to stay in the last fortress for the final battle. Although he did not think that these air forces could win the aerial battle, he could not let the Orcs "bomb" so recklessly.
Even if the fortress could block the attack, the morale of the people in the fortress would continue to drop, and they would eventually be defeated without a fight. Therefore, although he was very reluctant to let go of the most elite troops in the entire Eagle Kingdom, he still sent them out.
Moreover, he did not send a single part of them, but all the air forces of the entire Eagle Kingdom.
Moreover, he did not send a single part of them, but all the air forces of the entire Eagle Kingdom.
All of them!
The royal family of the Eagle Kingdom was the descendant of the God of Eagle. They had always inherited the skills of taming giant eagles and griffins, which gave rise to four types of air forces. They were the giant eagle sentinels and griffin sentinels responsible for reconnaissance, and the giant eagle knights and griffin knights responsible for fighting.
The female knights rode the smaller giant eagles, and the male knights rode the larger griffins. Together with the division of the troops, there were four types of troops.
The biggest difference between these two types of troops was the "knights."
The sentinel knights did not have the bloodline of the God of Eagle. They could only ride giant eagles or griffins, but they could not command more giant eagles or griffins. This made them fight alone in the battle, so they were more used as sentinels.
The knights had the bloodline of the God of Eagle. Not only could they tame their own mounts, but they could also command more giant eagles or griffins to form a combat unit. This made each of them a unit of different sizes, thus forming the main air force of the Eagle Kingdom.
Speaking of which, many years ago, the Eagle Kingdom originally had a large air force, which had made great achievements in resisting the invasion of the Orcs. However, in the "blood-stained eagle crown" coup more than 30 years ago, tens of thousands of people died in the capital, Eagle Wing City, and most of them were descendants of the God of Eagle. Coupled with the subsequent purges and suppression, although the Eagle Kingdom still retained a large number of giant eagles and griffins, they could not come up with enough air force knights and could only summon helplessly.
Thirty years was neither a short period of time nor a long period of time. For giant eagles and griffins, it was enough for them to reproduce for several generations, but for humans, it was not so easy to make up for the gap left by the bloody massacre in the past!
For example, even though King Woods had sent out all the available air forces, he could only send out about one-third of the Giant Eagles and Griffins. Most of the Giant Eagles and Griffins were still living peacefully in their nests.
He wanted to send out more troops, but there was nothing he could do.
It was not that the Eagle Kingdom did not have the means to mobilize all the Giant Eagles and Griffins in an emergency. It was not that he was so arrogant that he felt that it was not the time to use this means, but that he could not use it.
In order to make the Giant Eagles and Griffins listen to the orders of the knights, he needed to use the three artifacts left by the God of Eagle — the Eagle Crown, the Eagle Coat, and the Eagle Sword. To use these three artifacts, he had to master the legendary sword skill "Eagle Wing Sword" passed down from generation to generation in the Eagle Kingdom. Only by spreading out the wings of light, waving the Eagle Wing Sword, cutting the sky with one sword, and carving the eagle's wings in the sky could the sleeping three Eagle artifacts be awakened. At that time, they would naturally come to the side of the swordsman and automatically be worn by him.
At that time, the person wearing the three Eagle artifacts would become the spokesperson of the God of Eagle and have the ability to command all the Giant Eagles and Griffins.
The old king of the previous generation knew about the Eagle Wing Sword. Although he did not use it to summon the three Eagle artifacts, he had used it more than once on the battlefield. With a wave of the sword, even thousands of troops and horses would be defeated. God knows how many experts of the Beast People Empire died under his divine sword.
However, although the old king had more than 300 descendants, only one of them had inherited the Eagle Wing Sword. And that successor had died in the coup that stained the Eagle Crown with blood. It was Woods himself who had killed him.
He clearly remembered how the nephew of the genius in swordsmanship, a young expert who had already touched the gate of legend at the age of fifteen or sixteen, was shot by him from the back with a poisonous crossbow arrow, and how he ordered the crossbowmen to shoot ten thousand arrows at the same time, and how he was shot to the point that he was no longer human.
Now … the huge pile of corpses where he and the countless people who were loyal to the former king had been abandoned had long since dried up. All that was left were the white bones and the thick stench of corpses, as well as the countless ghostly flames that floated every night, silently accusing the despicable rebellion.
Woods sighed deeply, dispelling the memories.
He was just a high-level knight, and now he was over 60 years old. At this age, people's physical and mental strength began to weaken, especially when he had been seriously injured. If he had not drunk the life-prolonging potion he had bought from the Church of the Void Mask, perhaps he would have been in his twilight years now. With a body full of injuries, he could only moan in bed and wait for death.
"No! That won't do! "His eyes sharpened again." I am the great King of Eagle! Even if I have to die, I can only die on the battlefield! "
Thinking of this, he decided to summon the ministers again to discuss the issue of sending troops.
He was very worried about the Orcs' invasion this time. Especially this time, the Orcs' approach was very different from the past. Whether it was the large-scale use of air force, or the effort to promote harmony between the Orcs and humans, although the method was a little ridiculous, it made him feel a deep sense of crisis.
Woods was also a veteran who had experienced many battles, but throughout his life, he had never seen such a strange situation.
Although he did not understand what the Orcs wanted to do, he absolutely did not dare to underestimate the Orc Emperor.
Junero Tiger was a rare scholar among the Orc Emperors who were famous for their bravery. What would such a person do? He had no confidence at all.
Therefore, he decided to throw caution to the wind and bring out all the strength he could muster to meet the enemy head-on.
Anyway, he was already so old. For him, dying on the battlefield seemed to be a good ending …
