As soon as the sun set, the White Magic Falcons flew out of their nests in the darkness that was slowly dominating the land.
The sky was covered in white feathers under the twilight, like a huge cloud that could shroud the entire sky. The enormous cloud of White Magic Falcons was slowly approaching the city. The spectacular sight was enough to send chills down one's spine.
This time, the attack of the White Magic Falcons was even fiercer than before. The number of white flying beasts seemed to have found their most delicious meal. They turned into white, bloodthirsty demons as night fell.
They flew across the mountains and the forest in the west in a menacing manner. Meanwhile, the most important line of defense in the west, West Fortress, was still shrouded in fear due to the plague.
The Battlemages gathered their focus and stood on the towers of the western line of defense. Most Basic and Intermediate Magicians were helpless against the creatures in the sky, but as a matter of fact, the main force of West Fortress was the huge number of Basic and Intermediate Magicians.
Currently, West Fortress had no choice but to send out the elites of the elites to stand on the sparse towers. West Fortress was not considered a line of defense, as the towers were the actual sentries that were stopping the army of White Magic Falcons from invading their territory.
A few figures of Magicians were floating in the sky above West Fortress. Without the Heavenly Falcons, even some Advanced Magicians were unable to enter the battlefield. They all had stern looks on their faces. It would be a lie if they said they did not feel any hint of fear when facing the army of White Magic Falcons. The number of White Magic Falcons was just too overwhelming. Even an Advanced Magician would have a chance of dying in a battle like this.
The humans and the demon beasts were in a stalemate. The number of humans on the human side was simply too low. It felt like a massacre with a great disparity. However, the human Magicians did not dare to take a step back, as there were too many helpless humans behind the line of defense. If the White Magic Falcons managed to cross this important line of defense, it would truly be a massacre. Blood would flow across the city.
…
…
In the strategic meeting room of West Fortress, Councilman Zhu Meng was standing in front of the window with a stern face that he had never seen before. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and put it out right away. He said, "Wu Pingjing, come with me."
"Councilman, how can you go to the battlefield yourself?" said the Royal Guard, Li Jin.
There's no need to differentiate between us now. If I don't do anything, who's going to take care of the Ruler-level beast? "Councilman Zhu Meng said.
"Yeah, not only do we have to worry about the White Magic Falcons, we also have to think of a way to stop the Ruler-level demon eagle. Councilman, Wu Pingjing, Elder Tang Zhong, and Elder Li Tian, you four will take on the Ruler-level creature together," said the advisor of the West Fortress, Yun Feng.
The four of them nodded and were ready to fight to the death with the Ruler-level creature.
Elder Li Tian glanced at Councilman Zhu Meng, before glancing at Advisor Yun Feng, and said, "These White Magic Falcons are coming at us in a ferocious manner. Didn't any of you wonder why they would attack our city despite the fact that they have been staying in West Ridge all this time?"
"These bastards are intelligent, too. They're just trying to take advantage of the situation. This time, many of our men in West Fortress have been infected with the plague. Our combat strength has been greatly reduced. Of course, they won't let go of such a great opportunity. They have long set their sights on our city. The calm before was just a way for us to lower our guard, "said the advisor of West Fortress, Yun Feng.
Councilman Zhu Meng glanced at Li Tian and asked in a serious tone, "Elder Li Tian, you seem to know something?"
"My subordinate, Leng Qing, has learned the truth about the plague from a few young Magicians. The plague isn't a natural disaster, but a man-made one!" said Elder Li Tian in a serious tone.
The plague isn't a natural disaster, but a man-made one!
This sentence echoed in the strategic deployment conference room, and everyone could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.
"Elder Li Tian, what do you mean by that?" asked Advisor Yun Feng in astonishment.
"I believe everyone already knows that the plague in West Fortress was caused by the blood serums that were delivered here not long ago. The blood serums contained the Diseased Blood of the Cold Claw Plague Rats. When the Diseased Blood exploded in the human body, it turned into a terrifying plague … "said Li Tian.
Before Li Tian could finish, Councilman Luo Mian with a goatee hastily interrupted, "The most important thing now is to figure out a way to deal with the White Magic Falcons. We'll have to put the plague aside for now."
Elder Li Tian glanced at the guilty Councilman Luo Mian and let out a hollow laugh, before he continued, "You might not know this, but the plague is the reason why the White Magic Falcons are out in full force!"
"The Cold Claw Plague Rats are the White Magic Falcons' favorite food. At the same time, they are able to convert the Diseased Blood of the Cold Claw Plague Rats into a bloodline that can improve their strength."
"Therefore, when the White Magic Falcons smell the blood of the Cold Claw Plague Rats, they will hunt them down at all costs. There are so many infected people in our city, and the blood in their bodies has turned into the Diseased Blood of the Cold Claw Plague Rats. "
Having said this, Elder Li Tian paused for a moment. His gaze never left Councilman Luo Mian's figure. Everything was caused by Councilman Luo Mian's greed, yet the guy was sitting in the middle of the meeting as if nothing had happened. He had asked Vice Elder Wang Yi to be his scapegoat, and even asked the Black Totem Snake, who was under the protection of the Totem Tribe, to take the blame for everything. Even Elder Li Tian had the urge to execute the Councilman on the spot!
"The reason why the White Magic Falcons are out in such a large scale is because they are treating the infected people in the city as Cold Claw Plague Rats, their delicacies, and important resources that they can use to improve their strength!" Elder Li Tian said the last sentence furiously!
The astonishment on everyone's faces grew even stronger after hearing the words.
"Are you saying that the White Magic Falcons are attacking us because of the people infected with the plague?" Councilman Zhu Meng said in disbelief.
"That's right, didn't you realize that the White Magic Falcons' target wasn't West Fortress? Besides, when we moved the infected people in White Town and West Fortress to Hangzhou, the White Magic Falcons' target was Hangzhou instead! "Elder Li Tian said in a serious tone.
Hangzhou was in a critical situation. Elder Li Tian could not care less about the feelings of the officials. He had shown up at the meeting to expose Councilman Luo Mian's wild ambition, and to let everyone know why the war between the demon beasts and the demon beasts had started in the first place!
As a Magician, Elder Li Tian believed that every Magician had the responsibility to protect the people from the invasion of the demon beasts with their lives, but it did not necessarily mean that they had to sacrifice their precious lives for this man-made disaster!
