Chapter 158: Eagle Eye

In the evening, under the light of the setting sun, the entire city wall is bathed in golden light. There are a lot of birds flying in the sky, which is a rare leisure time for the birds preparing to return to their nests, after a day of foraging. At this moment, on a hill outside Jinyang City, a black shadow appeared in the sky, getting closer and closer to the ground, and the black shadow gradually became clear.

It was an eagle, flapping its big wings, descending from the sky, rapidly approaching a grove at the top of a hill. In an area around it, the surrounding birds fled in panic, and some of the smaller ones seemed to have fled in confusion, like rabbits waiting for a rabbit, and flew straight in the direction of the eagle. When the flight was closer, he made a turn and fled from the eagle in a thrilling way.

The eagle didn't even look at it, and it didn't even have the slightest desire to prey, otherwise how could these panicked birds escape under the talons of the eagle that was good at predation. Not to mention the birds that hit them on their own in a daze, this is simply meat delivered to the mouth, almost as long as you open your mouth, you can simply eat it in your mouth. But the eagle seemed to turn a blind eye and let the birds flee, its sharp eyes reflecting the scene of the hill in the earth beneath it.

Flapping his wings again, the two wings clinged tightly to the body, and swooped down, like a sharp arrow off the string, piercing through the clouds and landing quickly. The scenery in the eagle's eyes changed rapidly, getting bigger and clearer, and it was getting closer and closer to the ground.

In an open flat area on the peak of a small mountain, a woodcutter dressed in ordinary cloth clothes and carrying a bundle of firewood on his back looked up, and when he saw the dark shadow falling in the sky, he exhaled a breath of turbidity with relief. This person, looking at his appearance carefully, is the man who had spoken to the man in the black cloak in the sunny room and released the carrier pigeons! He was dressed as a woodcutter at the moment, and his outfit and dress were similar to that of an ordinary woodcutter, except that there was still an axe on the ground next to him, and the only thing that stood out from the other was the arm of his right hand, which was wrapped in a layer of cloth, and his arm looked a little more bloated than usual.

As the eagle in the sky descended rapidly, and as he approached the top of the mountain, he stretched out his right arm. A moment later, the eagle fell, and a pair of sharp claws gripped the man's arm tightly, sinking deep, and the layer of cloth wrapped around the man's arm was also scratched, revealing some broken cotton wool inside.

The man raised his hand and saw the eagle pecking at his feathers. He didn't pay much attention to it, and his gaze fell directly on the exposed part of the eagle's feet, where a small letter was tightly tied to it.

The use of eagles to convey intelligence, orders, was prepared by them from the beginning. After a long period of training, these eagles have gradually become familiar with their new job, which is to deliver and receive letters. It is precisely because of this that there has never been an omission in the transmission of various information, and this bird of prey in the air, except for a certain part of the special population that can injure it with a bow and arrow, almost nothing can hurt it, and there will be no loss in the process of information transmission, and it will be known.

If you use carrier pigeons, then even if there is no problem, what if it does? Shot down by others and preyed upon by other birds of prey, the ensuing effects are almost imaginable. In the transmission of intelligence, what we are most afraid of is that such a situation will occur, and any delay in time, the slightest leakage of information, will cause a series of bad effects.

What's more, it is an intelligence organization that they are in a "foreign country", and if others know about their existence, then what will come is a catastrophe. Because they are "alien", no matter what, they will become the target of public criticism and become the prey of others. And what can cause this situation is an omission in the transmission of information, a capture of a carrier pigeon.

At that time, it would not be destroyed, but all an intelligence organization had to do was spy on intelligence, pass on information, assassinate, and do a series of dark things. Once known, these functions will be correspondingly weakened, almost indistinguishable from annihilation.

That's why there was the kind of situation that occurred when he released the pigeon in Jinyang City before. He was waiting, waiting for the usual eagle to arrive in the sky over Jinyang City, and the pigeon in his hand was not a real carrier pigeon, but it was also a "carrier pigeon". The letter on it is real, and it is also a "carrier pigeon" used to transmit information, but it is nothing more than that.

These pigeons are released before they are released, they will be more or less a meal or a few meals are not fed, once released, these pigeons will fly into the air to forage for food, at this time, it is also the time for the eagle to Jinyang City to "hunt". Because of the results of countless trainings, the eagle has been accustomed to a fixed time every day to Jinyang City to hunt, the fixed prey is the pigeon, after the predation, the pigeon will also be caught back to a fixed stronghold, in the eagle slave after the permission, the pigeon will be eaten. At this time, the pocket letter tied to the pigeon's leg will fall into their hands intact.

No one would have thought that there would be such a complex way of transmitting information, nor would they know that under the talons of a predatory eagle, the captured pigeon carried such important information.

This way of transmitting information has never been overlooked. Even if there is an eagle that does not have long eyes to shoot an arrow in the sky, it is impossible to shoot an eagle flying high in the sky, let alone shoot it down. In this way, not only the security of the information can be guaranteed, but also the speed of transmission. This is the origin of their eagle eye name, not only everyone is eagle eye, but even in the sky, there are a pair of sharp eagle eyes.

The woodcutter put the letter in a small cloth bag around his waist, and then he grabbed a rabbit from behind him and threw it on the ground. "Go." He gave the command, and the eagle leaped out of his arm with his eyes shining brightly, and landed on the ground, where he began to tear the rabbit into finer pieces of flesh before pecking at it.

This eagle is another eagle, not the one that comes to Jinyang City every day to hunt. Each of their eagles has its own unique function, a similar instinct that has been trained many times.

Watching the eagle eat the rabbit meat, it flew into the sky again. The man didn't have to reply, because the blood on the eagle's mouth was enough to show that it had delivered the letter to the person who was supposed to deliver it.

Picking up the axe at his feet, he walked briskly down the hill, with a full load of firewood on his back. It looks like a woodcutter returning home with a full load. No one could have known that such an ordinary woodcutter was actually a link in the small components of a huge organization.

This is Hawkeye.
