Full-time Creation Master

Palace guard Li Jin escorted the two away.

As soon as the two were taken away, a man in a Kuomintang uniform walked over quickly. He saluted Councilor Zhu Meng and whispered a message in his ear.

Congressman Zhu Meng immediately glared at him: "What did you say?!"

Seeing Zhu Meng's sudden reaction, everyone turned to look at him, wondering what had happened to shock Councilor Zhu Meng so much.

"We just received news from the fortress that the situation is urgent. Please convene a meeting immediately to assist in this raid," the military intelligence officer said.

"Okay." Councilor Zhu Meng nodded, still somewhat incredulous. "I'll issue the order immediately."

Seeing the sudden change in Councilor Zhu Meng's expression, the head of the palace guards, Wu Pingjing, asked, "Councilor, what happened?"

"Misfortunes never come singly, misfortunes never come singly!!!" Councilor Zhu Meng sighed to the sky, not even having time to tidy his beard which was ruffled by the wind.

Seeing that the judge and other high-ranking officials were around, the military intelligence officer immediately relayed the shocking news he had just received that had gripped the entire city of HZ:

"A large flock of white demon eagles has emerged from the western ridge of the western fortress of HZ City. They are hungry, frenzied, and reckless. No matter what magical bombardment we launch, they show no intention of returning to their nests. At this moment, they are flying towards the city en masse..."

Tang Zhong, standing to the side, was filled with shock!

As far as he knew, a large clan of white demon eagles lived in Xiling.

However, they were relatively well-behaved in their own demon territory and were not as active as other demons.

Tang Zhong didn't understand why this lineage of White Demon Eagles would attack Hangzhou without warning.

Demon attacks on cities are not frequent occurrences, especially in the heavily guarded city of HZ.

"We're in big trouble..." Councilor Zhu Meng said, somewhat distraught.

Tang Zhong nodded with a furrowed brow. The plague had already plunged the city into panic, and this attack by demons was only making matters worse.

Luo Mian's face was solemn, but a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

Demons attacking the city is good!

At that time, they can pin everything on the demons—empty tents, black pots, and so on!

That's wonderful!

........

Further west of the Baishan Mountains lies the continuous Xiling Mountains.

The entire undulating mountain range presents a pristine appearance, with majestic mountains and towering ancient trees.

For a long time, Xiling has been an area where flying is absolutely prohibited, and even flight routes have to detour around it, precisely because a large flock of white eagles inhabits this area.

The White Demon Eagle is fierce and has an extremely strong sense of protecting its territory.

If a ruler or monarch flies over their airspace, they will immediately attack them en masse, and will not rest until they are dead.

Even a small, lost sparrow can be met with hostility.

They are fierce and united, and are the biggest hidden danger in the west of HZ City.

However, despite living close to human territory, they have never been seen to make any intrusions in the past few decades. It seems that as long as their territory is not violated, they are exceptionally well-behaved.

Over the years, the West Fortress gradually lowered its guard against the white demon eagles, almost mistaking them for a group of law-abiding citizens.

Who would have thought that when the plague broke out in HZ City, these white demon eagles would take advantage of the chaos to loot.

At the western fortress, the military mages formed ranks of low-level mages/warriors and mid-level mages/warriors.

They stood atop the makeshift battle tower, watching the creatures that swarmed across the horizon like dense white clouds...

To be honest, they had never seen so many demons invade human territory in all the years they had lived in peace.

"Let's go, follow me and fight our way to the sky."

A high-ranking military intelligence officer who looked exceptionally young waved his hand, ordering all his men to jump onto the back of the Sky Eagle.

The White Eagles aren't particularly high-ranking, but their biggest problem is that they are birds of prey, and ground-based mages simply can't reach them.

Moreover, they are birds of prey, and ordinary flying demons dare not provoke them!

Bird attacks on cities are always the most difficult to defend against. Fortunately, the West Fortress is stationed with elite military mages year-round, and a large number of Sky Eagles are on standby in the fortress. The military mages can ride the Sky Eagles into the air to block the invasion of these white demonic eagles!

"It's been a long time since I've had a good time." An adjutant licked his lips, looking particularly bloodthirsty.

"On my command, take off!!" the young soldiers shouted in unison.

All the officers sat neatly on the backs of the eagles, and they gave commands to their mounts.

However, something unexpected happened.

All the eagles stood still, without flapping their wings at all.

Logically, once the order is given, the eagle should take flight.

They are all species that have been tamed by mind-based mages for a long time, and are absolutely obedient to their tamers except in direct combat.

"Call the animal trainers! What's wrong with these eagles?!" the Military Intelligence Bureau shouted angrily.

They were all set up, ready to storm the heavens and fight to their hearts' content against the demons who had invaded Hangzhou's territory. But to their surprise, the eagles, as if they had all agreed beforehand, stood motionless in place.

"Sir, what brings you here?" A beast trainer in uniform approached.

"Look at these Skyhawks, why aren't they obeying orders?" the Military Intelligence Bureau said.

The tamer walked to the eagle's side, gently placed his hand on the eagle's body, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the eagle's heart.

After a moment, the animal trainer opened his eyes, glanced at the white figures on the horizon, and said with a hint of realization, "They are afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" the Military Intelligence Bureau shouted. Are you afraid of fighting?

"The Sky Eagle and the White Demon Eagle both belong to the Eagle Demon clan. Although they have been tamed by us, they still have Eagle Demon blood in their bones. The White Demon Eagle clan forces them to be unable to resist in the slightest..." the beast tamer said.

"Damn it, a bunch of useless bastards!" the Military Intelligence Bureau cursed.

"No matter how well we tame the eagles, they cannot escape the laws of nature, and..." The tamer stroked one of the eagles, whose eyes showed some resistance, but stopped mid-sentence.

Suddenly, the animal trainer's expression changed.

He seemed to sense the terrifying emotions surging within the Sky Eagle, and his eyes stared in disbelief at the legion of White Demon Eagles flying towards them from the horizon.

"And what? Just say what you have to say!" the young military intelligence officer said impatiently.

Without the Skyhawk's assistance, how many mages in the entire army camp can fly?

Those who can fly are all high-level mages, but not all high-level mages can fly!

The military consists mostly of low-level and mid-level mages and warriors!

This is a huge problem!

"If even one commander-level four-clawed demonic eagle appears, our entire military's air combat capability will collapse. The Skyhawks will not dare to oppose the four-clawed demonic eagle," the beast tamer said.
