Banner of the Evil God

While Sui Xiong and Akain were having a long conversation that was destined to leave a strong mark in the history of medicine in this world, the war between the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom was going on in full swing.

Because the Orc army was unusually slow in action, it gave the Eagle Kingdom sufficient time to react. King Woods Igor listened to the reports of the soldiers who retreated from the previous Iron City War. After some contemplation and discussion, he finally decided to send out the air force that was originally intended to stay in the last fortress for a decisive battle. Although he did not think that he could win the air battle with these air forces, he could not let the orcs play "bombing" so recklessly anyway.

No matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand being hit by big rocks from the air unilaterally. Even if the fortress can withstand it, the morale of the people in the fortress will continue to decline, and they will eventually be defeated without a fight.

So although he was reluctant to part with the most elite troops in the entire Eagle Kingdom, he still sent them out.

Moreover, he did not send out a part of them, but all the air forces of the entire Eagle Kingdom.

All!

The royal family of the Eagle Kingdom is the descendant of the Eagle God. They have been inheriting the skills of taming giant eagles and griffins, which has derived four types of air forces, namely the Giant Eagle Sentinels and Griffin Sentinels responsible for reconnaissance, and the Giant Eagle Knights and Griffin Knights responsible for combat.

Female knights ride smaller giant eagles, male knights ride larger griffins, plus the division of arms, there are four types of troops.

The biggest difference between these two types of arms lies in the "knights" themselves.

The sentinel knights do not have the bloodline of the Eagle God. They can only ride giant eagles or griffins, but cannot command more giant eagles or griffins, which makes them fight alone in battle, so they are more used as sentinels.

The knights of the knight class have the bloodline of the Eagle God. They can not only tame their own mounts, but also command more giant eagles or griffins to form combat units. This makes each of them a unit of varying sizes, thus forming the main force of the Eagle Kingdom's air force.

Speaking of which, many years ago, the Eagle Kingdom originally had a large-scale air force, which had made great achievements in resisting the invasion of orcs. However, in the coup d'état of "Blood-stained Eagle Crown" more than 30 years ago, tens of thousands of people died in the capital Eagle Wing City alone, most of whom were descendants of the Eagle God. Coupled with the subsequent purges and suppression, although the Eagle Kingdom still retained a large number of giant eagles and griffins, it could not provide enough air force knights and could only call for help.

More than 30 years is not short, but it is not long either. For giant eagles and griffins, it is enough to give birth to several generations, but for humans, it is not so easy to make up for the gap left by the bloody massacre!

For example, now, although King Woods has sent out all the air forces that can be mobilized, in fact, only about one-third of the total number of giant eagles and griffins can be sent out, and most of the giant eagles and griffins are still living a stable life in their nests.

He wanted to send more troops, but he was powerless.

It's not that the Eagle Kingdom didn't have the means to mobilize all the giant eagles and griffins in an emergency, nor was he arrogant enough to think that it was not time to use this means, but that he couldn't use this means.

In order to make the giant eagles and griffins that were not commanded by the knights obey orders, it was necessary to use the three artifacts left by the Eagle God - Eagle Crown, Eagle Clothes, and Eagle Sword. To use these three artifacts, it was necessary to master the legendary sword skills "Eagle Wing Sword" passed down from generation to generation in the Eagle Kingdom. Only by spreading the wings of light, swinging the Eagle Wing Sword, cutting the sky with one sword, and carving the wings of the eagle on the sky, can the sleeping three Eagle artifacts be awakened. At that time, they will naturally come to the side of the sword wielder and automatically wear him.

By then, the person wearing the three Eagle artifacts will become the spokesperson of the Eagle God and have the ability to command all giant eagles and griffins.

The old king of the previous generation knew the Eagle Wing Sword. Although he did not use it to call the three Eagle artifacts, he used it on the battlefield more than once. With a wave of the sword, even thousands of troops would be defeated. How many of the strong men of the Orc Empire died under his sword.

However, although the old king had more than 300 descendants, only one of them truly inherited the Eagle Wing Sword. And that heir had died in the bloody coup of the Eagle Crown, and it was Woods himself who killed him.

He clearly remembered how his nephew, a genius swordsman, who had touched the legendary door at the age of fifteen or sixteen, was shot with a poisonous crossbow arrow from behind by him, and how he ordered the crossbowmen to shoot thousands of arrows at once, and shot him into a human form.

Now... the huge pile of corpses that abandoned his and countless people loyal to the former king has long been completely dried up, leaving only white bones and thick corpse odors, as well as countless ghost lights floating every night, silently accusing the bloody and despicable rebellion.

Woods sighed deeply and dispelled the memories.

He was just a high-level knight, now over sixty years old. People of this age are beginning to noticeably weaken both physically and mentally, especially since he had been severely injured before. If he hadn't drunk the life-extending potion bought from the Church of the Void Mask, he might have already been an old man with injuries all over his body, groaning in bed waiting to die.

"No! That won't do!" His eyes became sharp again, "I am the great Eagle King! Even if I have to die, I can only die on the battlefield!"

Thinking of this, he decided to call the ministers again to discuss the issue of sending troops.

He was very worried about the invasion of the orcs this time. Especially this time, the orcs' approach was very different from the past. Whether it was the large-scale use of the air force or the fact that they did not start a massacre after the occupation, but instead tried to promote harmony between orcs and humans - although the method was a bit outrageous - it made him feel a deep 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 didn't understand what the orcs wanted to do, he definitely didn't dare to underestimate the orc emperor.

Yurnero Tiger, among the orc emperors who were famous for their bravery in the past, was a rare scholar. What would such a person do? He had no idea.

So, he decided to take out all the forces he could mobilize and go to the front to fight vigorously.

Anyway, he is already this old, and dying on the battlefield seems to be a good ending for him...
