To the west of the White Mountain Range was the continuous West Ridge. The whole mountain range showed a primitive appearance. The mountains were majestic, and the ancient trees reached to the sky.
For a long time, the West Ridge had been a no-fly zone. Even planes had to avoid the area, as a huge flock of White Magic Falcons resided in the area.
The White Magic Falcons had a violent temperament, and a strong desire to protect their territory. If a Commander-level or Ruler-level creature were to fly across their territory, they would immediately attack them, and would not give up until they were dead. If a demon sparrow lost its way, it would be treated with hostility, too.
They were ferocious and united, and were the biggest threat to the west of Hangzhou City.
However, even though they lived close to the human territory, they had never shown any intention to invade the human territory. It was as if they were extremely obedient as long as they did not invade their territory.
Over the years, West Fortress had gradually let down their guard against the White Magic Falcons. They almost thought they were a bunch of innocent civilians. To their surprise, the White Magic Falcons took advantage of the situation when the plague broke out in Hangzhou City.
At West Fortress, the Battlemages were lined up in squads. They stood on the temporary battle towers, staring at the densely packed creatures flying toward them like clouds in the sky …
As a matter of fact, it had been a long time since they had seen so many demon creatures invading the human territory.
"Come, follow me into the sky!" A young-looking Commander waved his hand and ordered his men to jump onto the back of the Heavenly Eagles.
The White Magic Falcons' level was not particularly high. The biggest problem was that they were flying creatures, thus the Magicians on the ground had no chance of reaching them.
It was difficult to defend against flying creatures. Luckily, West Fortress was guarded by elite Battlemages all year round. A huge group of Heavenly Eagles was on standby in the fortress. The Battlemages could ride the Heavenly Eagles and fly into the sky to stop the White Magic Falcons from invading the human territory!
"It's been a while since I had a good time," one of the Adjutant licked his lips with a bloodthirsty look.
"On my command, take off!" ordered the young Commander.
The Battlemages sat on the back of the Heavenly Eagles and gave the order to their mounts.
However, something unexpected happened.
All of the Heavenly Eagles were standing in their original positions. They could not even be seen flapping their wings.
Normally, the Heavenly Eagles would spread their wings and fly away after receiving the order. They had been tamed by the Psychic Magicians for a long time. They would obey the orders of their Beastmasters, apart from direct battles.
"Get the Beast Tamer here. What's wrong with these Heavenly Eagles?" the Commander yelled angrily.
The formation was already in place. They were just waiting to charge into the sky and fight to their heart's content with these demons that had invaded Hangzhou's territory. Who would have thought that the Heavenly Eagles would all stand there motionlessly as if they had discussed this beforehand?
"Commander, why are you looking for me?" A beast tamer in uniform walked over.
"Look at these Heavenly Eagles, why aren't they listening to orders?" the Commander asked.
The Beast Tamer walked to Sky Eagle's side and gently placed his hand on Sky Eagle's body. He closed his eyes and quietly felt Sky Eagle's heart.
After a while, the beast tamer opened his eyes and glanced at the white figures in the sky. He said in realization, "They're afraid."
"Afraid of what?" the Commander cursed.
"The Heavenly Eagles and the White Magic Falcons are both demon beasts. Even though we've tamed them, they still have the blood of demon beasts in their bones. The White Magic Falcons are forcing them to submit …" the Beast Tamer said.
"Damn it, a bunch of useless pricks!" the Commander cursed.
"No matter how we tamed the Heavenly Eagles, they won't be able to escape from the laws of nature. Besides …" the Beast Tamer fondled a Heavenly Eagle that was showing signs of resistance. He did not finish his sentence.
Suddenly, the Beast Tamer's expression changed. He seemed to have sensed the terrifying emotions in the Heavenly Eagle's heart. His eyes stared at the army of White Magic Falcons flying toward them in disbelief.
"Besides what? Just say it!" the young Commander snapped impatiently.
Without the Heavenly Eagles, how many Magicians in the army could fly?
They were in serious trouble!
"If a Commander-level Four-Clawed Magic Eagle shows up, our army's air force will collapse. The Heavenly Eagles won't dare to fight a Four-Clawed Magic Eagle," the Beast Tamer said.
"I don't need your nonsense. If our air force is paralyzed, it means they can easily jump over our defense line and invade the city!" the young Commander said.
The Beast Tamer's eyes were still filled with fear. He shook his head and glanced at the restless Heavenly Eagle beside him.
The Heavenly Eagle's eyes gradually turned from docile to manic, from black to red. It kept beating its wings. It was not trying to fly into the sky to fight, but to throw the person on its back off.
"Screech!"
"Screech!"
All of a sudden, the Heavenly Eagles screeched angrily. They stared at the invaders in the sky, as if they were responding to the summons of a ruler.
"What's going on!?"
"My Heavenly Eagles are disobeying my orders!"
"Mine too!"
The Heavenly Eagles beat their wings wildly and twisted their bodies angrily. If it weren't for the temporary chains on their legs, they would have flown into the sky by themselves.
"They are betraying us … they are betraying us!" an experienced Commander yelled.
"What?" The young commander glanced at them and found that the Heavenly Eagles' pupils had completely changed color. They were stubborn, irritable, and even hostile to humans.
"This is bad!" The Beast Tamer could no longer control the situation.
"What's going on?" the young Commander yelled.
The Heavenly Eagles were usually docile and obedient. Why were they so stubborn today?
"I just told you, if a Commander-level Four-Clawed Magic Eagle shows up, the Heavenly Eagles of the same subspecies with a lower lineage than the White Magic Eagles will be afraid of it, and won't dare to challenge it. However, if a Ruler-level eagle shows up, they will betray us immediately! "the Beast Tamer said with a pale face.
A Ruler-level creature!
The Commander, who was in high spirits a moment ago, was stunned when he heard the term.
A Ruler-level creature, a Ruler-level creature had shown up this time!
"Quick, kill these Heavenly Eagles. Otherwise, they will all betray us! These lowly creatures won't stand a chance against the aura of a Ruler-level creature! "the Beast Tamer blurted out.
The rest of the Commanders were stunned, too.
They did not expect a Ruler-level creature to be so terrifying. Even the Heavenly Eagles that had been tamed since young had submitted to it …
"What are you waiting for? Do you want the fortress to be completely destroyed? Hurry up and kill these traitorous Heavenly Eagles!" the Beast Tamer yelled angrily when he saw that the officers were not willing to do so.
