Hearing what Carloen said, Yang Yu naturally changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, the Silver Fang Clan, the Blazing Flame Clan, and your Winged Hand Clan all worship their ancestors."
Fluttering his wings, Carloen responded: "From what I have learned, in Wansheng Country, the mainstream is to believe in ancestors, and those who worship goddesses are a minority."
"Then, are there any myths among your people? For example, where did your power come from, and who created you?"
“That’s a really hard question to answer.”
After a moment's silence, Carloen's long voice finally reached Yang Yu's ears.
“Nothing created us.
In our culture, everything is born in darkness, from nothing to something. Everything is like this. If there really is a goddess, it probably also came from nothing.
My ancestors learned to fly step by step, acquired this ability, and passed this power on to us.
If there is to be a myth.
This is the 'myth' that we have passed down from generation to generation."
Yang Yu fell into deep thought.
Without waiting for Yang Yu to make the next reaction, Carloen laughed and ignored it.
“This is a culture of thought that is quite difficult for other races, especially humans, to accept.
Even if many races do not believe in goddesses, they all believe, to a greater or lesser extent, that everything in the world was created by goddesses.
In the past, those of us who held such thoughts were considered heretics.
In addition, due to our racial habits of hiding during the day and coming out at night, we are often regarded as the embodiment of the devil.
More than three hundred years ago, during the Dark Ages, we were also persecuted for no apparent reason.
Finally, they found a place to stay in Wansheng Kingdom.
Our ancestors at that time told us that if Wansheng Kingdom was in trouble and needed our help, we shouldn’t think too much about it.
This is also for the continuation of the race.”
After lightly mentioning the sufferings endured by their ancestors, Carlon led Yang Yu and the others step by step towards Benliang City.
“You don’t have to force yourself to accept our culture.
In that camp, I also heard about different beliefs.
The reason I am saying this to you now is that I received a lot of advanced ideas there. It is normal for different races to have different ideas. We should seek to coexist with differences and be tolerant of each other.
You are comrades-in-arms.
Since you asked, I will tell you.
If you don't believe it, just treat it as an ordinary story.
We are almost there, get ready for a fight, I am going to speed up."
Hearing Carloen's reminder, Yang Yu hid his desire to continue exploring.
If you want to understand a race, it is best to start with its legends and customs.
The Chiropterans walked in the dark, had little contact with other races, and it is likely that their culture and traditions have remained largely unchanged.
But after listening to their legends, Yang Yu always felt an inexplicable philosophical atmosphere.
In any case, the Pteranodon Clan is definitely not an ordinary people, as they are able to judge the strength of others through the fluctuations of magic power. There must be something worth digging deeper into.
Perhaps, their clan is also among those twenty unknown items.
With the protection of the night, even though Carloen's speed increased significantly, the wind blowing around Yang Yu and the others did not change much.
Getting closer to Benliang City, Yang Yu could see many soldiers patrolling on the city wall, and many soldiers standing upright and motionless.
As he was flying, Carlon felt something strange.
"It's very strange. There are quite a few soldiers stationed there. But apart from the soldiers who are constantly moving back and forth, most of the soldiers standing still cannot sense the strength of the magic power in their bodies. It's like there's nothing inside."
"Like it's empty?"
From here, Yang Yu could see tiny lights flashing in Benliang City.
But the more he looked at these cold and dim lights, the more Yang Yu felt an ominous premonition.
Many Chiropterans have also noticed this.
The team leader, General Bingquan and Marco, did not stop the team, but continued to fly high in the sky, flying over the city wall while the patrolling Rose troops were not paying attention.
It was so light that everyone was a little surprised.
Countless people had imagined countless situations, including the worst case scenario of being discovered as soon as they flew to the city wall.
However, everything went too smoothly.
Marco and Bingquan still vividly remembered the past when they were lured deep into the territory of the Rose Empire. They were extremely alert and asked the Chiroptera to search for any traces of humans.
But
"Except for the soldiers on the city wall just now, there is almost no sign of anyone in the city."
Carloen frowned slightly. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
In order to become a powerful fighting force for Wansheng Country, their instructors conducted intensive training on their abilities. The magic fluctuations and ultrasonic waves they emit can make all objects in an area defenseless.
But Carlon, who was extremely confident in his abilities, always had the same result no matter how many times he swept the city. He couldn't help but doubt his life.
Carlon communicated with other members of the Chiroptera tribe through ultrasound, and the other members of the Chiroptera tribe came to the same conclusion.
"Maybe they knew about the abilities of the Chiroptera tribe and used some magic to evade their detection."
"That's possible. Perhaps our actions were exposed in advance, and they are hiding underground, trying to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"There are so many defenders in this Liang City, it's not realistic to have them all hide. And I think if humans really knew our movements in advance, they should be prepared on the city wall."
Marco and Bingquan once again asked the Chiropterans to explore the city, but still found nothing.
The city was eerily quiet, like a ghost town.
Yang Yu frowned, his premonition seemed to be about to come true.
After a few minutes, he received instructions from Marco and Bingquan.
—Even if there are some abnormalities, execute according to the original plan.
Marco and Bingquan both noticed what Yang Yu noticed, and they had to go and confirm it.
The surprise attack force landed safely in the town.
Yang Yu and Bai Jin landed on the ground, picked up their weapons and became alert.
Carlon folded his wings and whistled, blowing ultrasonic waves that only the Chiroptera could hear and emitting magical ripples that only the Chiroptera could feel.
However, there was still no response, and he couldn't sense even one person.
Marco and Bingquan each frowned and walked cautiously in the city. The city was still very quiet.
There was not a single elite Rose among them.
Ajiket's army followed closely behind and quickly arrived at Benliang City. Just as they were about to launch a charge, the few Rose soldiers on the city wall moved instantly.
Instead of firing their cannons, they hoisted a large fluttering white flag to announce their defeat.
In order to make it visible to Ajiket's troops, they also placed lighting magic around the white flag, making it particularly conspicuous in the air.
The remaining Rose soldiers even opened the door for the Wansheng attacking force. They each took out a small white chess piece and waved it around to welcome the Wansheng attacking force.
The posture did not look like surrender, but more like a mockery that everything the orc troops did was in vain.
1:00 a.m. on February 16, 415 of the Lux calendar.
The attacking force confirmed that the defenders of Benliang City of the Rose Empire had abandoned the city and fled.
The Wansheng Kingdom captured Benliang City.
