While Sui Xiong and Akane were having a long conversation that was destined to leave a mark in the medical history of the world, the war between the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom was going on in full swing.
Because the orc army was unusually slow to move, it gave the Eagle Kingdom ample time to react. King Woods Igor listened to the reports of the soldiers who had returned from defeat in the previous Iron City battle. After some reflection and discussion, he finally decided to send out the air force that had originally planned to stay in the last fortress for the decisive battle. Although he does not think that these air forces can win the air battle, but in any case, the orcs cannot be allowed to play "bombing" so unscrupulously.
No matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand the unilateral attack of large rocks from the air. Even if the fortress can be blocked, the morale of the people inside the fortress will continue to decline, and they will eventually be defeated without a fight.
So even though he was reluctant to part with this most elite force in the entire Eagle Kingdom, he still sent them out.
Moreover, he sent not only a certain part of it, but all the air force of the entire Eagle Kingdom.
all!
The royal family of the Eagle Kingdom is the descendant of the Eagle God. They have always passed down the skills of taming giant eagles and griffins. From this, four types of air forces have been derived, namely the giant eagle sentinels and griffon sentinels responsible for reconnaissance, and the The giant eagle knight and griffon knight responsible for the battle.
The female knight rides the smaller giant eagle, and the male knight rides the larger griffin. Together with the division of arms, there are four types of troops.
The biggest difference between these two types of arms is the "knight" itself.
The sentinel knights do not have the blood of the Eagle God. They can only ride giant eagles or griffins, but they cannot command more giant eagles or griffins. This makes them fight alone in battle, so More are used as sentinels.
The knights have the blood of the Eagle God. They can not only tame their own mounts, but also command more giant eagles or griffons to form combat troops. This makes each of them a force 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 air force, which made great achievements in resisting orc invasions. However, in the "blood-stained Eagle Crown" coup more than thirty 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 suppressions, although the Eagle Kingdom still retains a large army of giant eagles and griffons, it cannot produce enough air force knights and can only do nothing.
More than thirty years of time may be said to be short, but it may also be said to be long. For giant eagles and griffins, it is enough to give birth to several generations, but for humans, it is not so easy to fill the gap left by the bloody massacre!
For example, now, although King Woods has dispatched all the available air forces, the number of giant eagles and griffons that can actually be dispatched is only about one-third of the total. The vast majority of giant eagles and griffins They are all still living peacefully in their nest.
He wanted to send more troops, but was unable to do so.
It's not that the Eagle Kingdom doesn't have the means to mobilize all the giant eagles and griffons in an emergency, and it's not that he is so arrogant that he thinks it's not time to use this means yet, it's that he can't use this means.
If you want to make the giant eagles and griffins that are not commanded by the knights obey the orders, you need to use the three artifacts left by the Eagle God - the Eagle Crown, the Eagle Clothes, and the Eagle Sword. To use these Three artifacts, and they must master the legendary sword skill "Eagle Wing Sword" passed down from generation to generation in the Eagle Kingdom. Only by unfolding the wings of light, wielding the Eagle Wing Sword, splitting the sky with one sword, and carving the eagle's wings on the sky can the three sleeping eagle artifacts be awakened, and then they will naturally come to the wielder of the sword. By his side, it was automatically worn on his body.
At that time, the person wearing the three artifacts of the Eagle 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 about the Eagle Wing Sword. Although he did not use it to summon the three eagle artifacts, he used it on the battlefield more than once. With a wave of sword light, even thousands of troops will be invincible. Many of the powerful men in the Orc Empire fell under his divine sword.
However, although the old king had more than three hundred descendants, only one of them actually inherited the Eagle Wing Sword. The successor had already died in the bloody coup that stained the Eagle Crown, and it was Woods himself who killed him.
He clearly remembered how the nephew of the swordsman genius, a strong young man who had already touched the Gate of Legends when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was shot with a poisonous crossbow arrow from behind by him, and how he was shot by him. The crossbowmen were ordered to fire thousands of arrows, and the arrows were shot out of shape.
Now... the huge pile of corpses where his corpses and those of countless people loyal to the former king were discarded have long since dried up, leaving only the white bones and thick corpse odor, as well as countless will-o'-wisps floating every night, silently accusing the bloody and despicable people. Rebellion.
Woods sighed deeply and pushed the memory away.
He is just a high-level knight, now over sixty years old. For a person of this age, both physical and mental strength are beginning to weaken significantly, especially when he was seriously injured. If he hadn't drank the life-extending potion he bought from the Church of the Mask of the Void, he might be in his final years now, covered in injuries, and could only Just moan and wait to die.
"No! That's not possible!" His eyes became sharp again, "I am the great Eagle King! Even if I die, I can only die on the battlefield!"
Thinking of this, he decided to convene ministers again to discuss the issue of sending troops.
He was very worried about this orc invasion. In particular, the behavior of the orcs this time was very different from the past. Whether it was the large-scale use of air force or the fact that they did not carry out massacres after the occupation, but instead worked hard to promote harmony between orcs and humans - although the method was a bit outrageous - they all made him feel deeply. deep crisis.
Woods is also a veteran of many battles, but throughout his life, he has 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.
Yunero Tiger was a rare scholar among the orc emperors who were known for their bravery throughout the ages. What could such a person do? He wasn't sure at all.
Therefore, he decided to ignore everything and use all the strength he could mobilize to fight head-on with great vigor.
Anyway, at his age, dying in battle seems to be a good ending for him...
