Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 91: The Feathered Race
The agile figure flashed through the air, accompanied by the sound of feathers lapping in the air, and a feathered warrior hurried in one direction before he could stand firm on the ground.
It may seem like a small village, but unlike ordinary human villages, most of the houses are built against large trees, or even directly on thick branches.
The life that built this strange village must have had a lot of wisdom.
The feathered warrior came to the foot of one of the thickest trees, and after a little relief, he shouted, "Patriarch, elders, something is wrong!"
Before he could finish speaking, several vigorous white lightning bolts rushed out of the largest house in the entire village, and came to the feathered warrior who had just shouted.
"What the hell is going on?"
The leader is a feathered man who looks like he is in the prime of life, and the wings that are consciously folded behind him are for some reason, but they are constantly reflecting dazzling light.
This is the Feathered tribe on the east side of the Demon Mountains, a race that has been entrusted with history and has been guarding this place for thousands of years following the orders of the Almighty.
And the middle-aged feather man with metallic feathers is the leader of this race, the patriarch of the feather people who inherited the name of [Yu Ling].
Standing behind him were five highly respected elders of the Feather Clan, who were also warriors who were also dominant and overwhelmed monsters when they were young.
"Those guys in the mountains are gone!"
The young feathered man, who looked like a scout, spoke with anxiety and a look of panic on his face.
Hearing this, the faces of the other people present all froze.
There is no need to explain too much at all, everyone knows what exactly "those guys" are in his mouth.
All of them also know how terrible "those guys" really are, and how serious the consequences of "disappearing" are.
"Have you carefully surveyed their camp, and have you found any signs of an ambush?"
Yu Ling confirmed again and again, as if he didn't believe that things would suddenly take such a drastic turn.
"Yes, although I didn't go deep into the demon camp, I didn't see any trace from any vantage point, or flying detectives high in the forest. β
"What about the magic tree, they won't use any method to take the magic tree away, will they?"
Generally speaking, the scouts of the Feathered Race need to comply with the rules of not flying during reconnaissance, which not only makes it easy to expose themselves, but also greatly increases the probability of casualties being captured.
But at this time, the patriarch obviously didn't care about this aspect, but anxiously asked about the situation in the demon camp now.
"No, the magic tree was not taken away by them. It looks more like they've been abandoned. β
The Feathered Warrior shook his head, as if he was puzzled by this matter.
And the person opposite him couldn't help but fall silent when he heard the report.
Why? Why did those guys abandon that horrible magic tree and secretly flee?
Ever since the Origin Demon Clan was driven into the Demon Movement Mountain Range, they have been trying their best to hide their tracks for a long time to avoid being discovered by the Emperor of Eternal Life and the Great Magician.
And after the two demon suppressors in Kyushu took over both sides of the Demon Mountain Range, they also led a large team of people to search for the whereabouts of the demon clan many times, and it was not until the first hundred years after the death of the Immortal Emperor that they found the location of the demon clan in the advance little by little, and also found this threatening demon tree.
To say why with the support of the two demon suppressors and the surrounding demon hunting associations and even the punishers, they still haven't launched a frontal attack on the demon camp until now, it is to be afraid of the forbidden thing with a huge sense of oppression.
No one knows how the demons discovered and subdued this demon tree whose magic power is like a piece of heaven, and the most important thing is that the Demon Emperor seems to be able to invoke the magic power in the demon tree.
In the first and final attempted attack, they were caught off guard by the large array laid out on the basis of the magic tree, and suffered heavy casualties.
"Do you want to send some more people to make sure? This is no joke. β
An elder behind him finally decided that it was better to be cautious.
"Not only to confirm, but also to send people to transmit this information in both east and west directions at the same time, so that both the Doomsday Thunderbox and the Demon Hunter Association are ready. β
Since there has been no change in the eastern part of the Feather Clan's garrison in recent days, the patriarch guesses that the Demon Clan's target should be the weaker Western World.
Therefore, it is not only necessary to prepare the Doomsday Thunderbox on the west side of the Demon Mountain Range for battle, but also to have someone go to the east with the support of the Demon Hunting Association.
"Yes!"
The Featherman Warrior trembled, and immediately took off into the air and flew towards the warrior gathering place of the Featherman Village.
"Yu Ling, could this matter have something to do with that Miln Hou?"
An elder voiced his doubts after a long period of contemplation.
As early as a few months ago, their Feathered Human Race had discovered that a human had been in and out of the Demon Mountains many times.
A liaison from the Demon Hunting Society also confirmed that this person was Milne, the Marquis of the Outer Human City.
It may be because he wants to inspect the Magic Mountain Range, and Yuren doesn't care too much about his entry and exit in the Demon Mountain Range.
But it wasn't long before the Origin Demon Clan unexpectedly moved, which made the elder have doubts in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Ling shook his head and said, "The problem now is not that human, we have to focus on the movements of the demon race. β
Speaking of this, Yu Ling also had a little doubt about Milne, who claimed to have made the greatest contribution to the fight against monsters among humans, but as he said, the problem now is not to find people who may be involved in this accident, but to think about how to deal with this accident.
"Pass on the instructions of my patriarch, urgently summon the elite of fifty feathers to go to the west with me first, and the rest of the troops will follow as soon as possible. β
"Do you want to take the opportunity to destroy the Demon Tree?"
Another elder offered advice.
"No, we'll talk about the magic tree later. It would be unwise to shake the Demon Tree head-on with our size. Even if it can be destroyed, our clan will lose its combat effectiveness in this fight against the demons. β
Yu Ling said: "Since the demon clan has abandoned the demon tree, then we don't need to rush to deal with that monster now. The primary target is still the demons in the west. β
Will there be another big war like that of hundreds of years ago?
With the patriarch's instructions, the feather scout Yu Wang hurriedly came to the training ground where his companions usually trained, looking for someone.
As early as on the road, he guessed the members who might join the vanguard this time.
After all, the power of the entire Feather Human tribe in the Demon Mountain Range is actually not as large as that of other relatives in the West, but the reason why they can have a place here is because they have the support of the Immortal Emperor's relics and relatively more elite combat power.
Slowly descending more than ten steps away from the training woodland, he stepped forward and pushed open the wooden gate.
From the outside, it looks like a tall cluster of ancient trees, but on the inside, there is a cave.
It occupies an area the size of a human-sized castle, with only two rings of tall trees planted on the perimeter, forming a natural barrier.
And because this ancient tree, which is hundreds or even thousands of years old, is very tall, as long as the site is slightly built, it can meet the training of the feathered warriors to block the enemy in the sky.
I heard that such a huge amount of training ground was personally moved by the great magician himself with the great magic.
Before Yu Wang came to the center of the training ground, a strong figure came up to him.
"Aren't you supposed to be out on a reconnaissance mission right now?"
The feather man who was called saw the comer clearly, bowed his head and saluted: "Lord Tian, today I observed the mysterious disappearance of the Origin Demon Clan, and the patriarch speculated that they launched an attack to the west. That's why he asked me to come here and bring fifty elite feather warriors to restore my life and provide support to the West first. β
"The Origin Demon Clan has made a move?"
The warrior captain named Yutian showed a surprised expression, but quickly came back to his senses and nodded, "It's really urgent, but FatherΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Did the patriarch say what troops to bring with him?"
"No, it's just that fifty elites are going to be called in urgently. Maybe you forgot to tell you, or maybe you want to take the opportunity to test the warrior master, right?"
The warrior chief, who was thought to have the best chance of running for the next patriarch, fell silent.
There is no hereditary system within the Feather Clan, but a standard Zen concession system.
Only those who have made significant contributions to the field of foreign defense may inherit [Yu Ling].
Although Yutian is the son of the patriarch, he did not receive any special care, and after he climbed to the position of the warrior chief step by step after becoming self-reliant and self-reliant, he gradually received the attention of the patriarch.
"Hopefully, you go and give instructions to the others first, so that they all come here and assemble. It doesn't have to be all fighters from the [Raid Group], the [Hunting Group] and the [Reconnaissance Group] can all come here to gather, and I have my own arrangements. β
"Yes!"
Yu Wang received the order, and immediately flew to the air of the training ground to transmit information to the others.
And Yutian, who is the commander of the warriors, is thinking about the deployment of troops at this time.
The reason why it is said that the Feathered People of the Magic Mountain Range are more elite than the Feathered People of other regions is because they have a higher degree of tactical and equipment support.
Unlike ordinary feathered people, who only use bows and arrows in the air - in fact, the weight of feathered people is less than half that of ordinary humans, and there is no other effective means of attack except for being able to carry a relatively light and effective weapon such as a bow and arrow into the air to strike.
The feathered warriors of the Magic Mountain Range took the initiative to give up the flight advantage brought by their wings in exchange for a unique offensive and defensive combat method that is unique in land combat.
In conjunction with the forging process brought by the Immortal Emperor, they installed a metal shell on most of the feathers on their wings.
The metal casing at the edges and even the edges were sharpened no less than the arrows they carried. And because of the huge wings and the agility that comes with long-term training, the wings behind them are like two giant shields that they carry with them.
Not only can it defend against most attacks, but it can also effectively counterattack the enemy.
Knock off, scratch, etc.
Moreover, although the feathered people, who pay more attention to physical training, are not as good as the elite troops of humans, they can also get good offensive ability in the field of non-heavy weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc.
However, there are only a few fighters who can reach this level, not only because of the lack of metal resources, but also because most of the feathered warriors simply can't adhere to such a high-intensity exercise.
Being able to do this is the basis for entering the [Raid Group], so the entire group of thousands of people, with hundreds of fighters with combat ability, is only a double-digit individual who can join the most dangerous crusade against monsters.
This time, the opponent is the Origin Demon Race, which is feared by most lives, and it is the meaning of the survival and persistence of the own tribe here.
But what upsets the current warrior leader is not only the strength of the demon race, but also a person in the demon race.
The traitor who betrayed the Feathered Human Race and joined the Demon Race hundreds of years ago has shown that the other party has lived unfairly until now in many intelligences.
The reason why the entire Feather Human Race has fallen from the prosperity of a thousand years ago to the current status quo of "sending people under the fence" is because of that traitor.
This is something that Yu Tian has never been able to let go of since he learned about this history.
"I will definitely end your sinful life with my own hands and bring shame on the traitor of the Feather Clan!"
