Chapter 120: Eagle Descent — Emalbert Fortress

  The Beast God Festival is the last day of the twelfth month in the beast tribe's calendar, which is also the time when the moon is at its darkest. This night of the Beast God Festival was no different from any other, with the moon completely hidden and only a few scattered stars shining in the sky, casting a faint starlight.

  When most of the garrison was celebrating the Beast God Festival on the empty ground, a white falcon spread its wings from a mountain top behind the fortress and quickly climbed to several hundred meters high, merging with the dark sky.

  As the hawk had just soared into the high sky, a bow and arrow in the even higher night sky behind it had already taken aim at it, death could come at any moment.

  "Wait, let this guy go." Just as the hand holding the bowstring was about to loosen, another hand grabbed it and a voice came at the same time.

  "Earl, the beast tribe's hawk is here to deliver a message!" In the night sky, a man wearing exquisite light armor, whose face was invisible in the dark, turned his head towards the person beside him.

  "I know, but our mission is to eliminate the falcons that report and seek help after the attack. Not to eliminate this normal reporting falcon. Now if we shoot it down, aren't we notifying the Beast Tribe's headquarters that there's a problem with Emal Fortress?" Another man in a long robe standing beside the armored man made an offhand explanation.

  "Rider, let the war eagle fly a bit higher, never expose it." Before the armored man could speak, the long-robed man said again.

  "Yes, Earl." A voice immediately came from behind the man in the long robe. With the faint starlight, it was possible to vaguely see that behind the man in the long robe and the armored man, there was another figure with their back turned towards them.

  Under the three silhouettes, a giant bird with a body over 10 meters long and fully spread wings resembling an eagle was carrying them in the high sky of several hundred meters. In the air hundreds of meters away from them, there were also several giant birds carrying human figures flying back and forth and circling in the high sky.

  Moments later, dozens of giant birds lined up in two teams, flying swiftly from the eastern night sky over the Emarlbon fortress, heading straight for the mountains to the west of the fortress. On the back of each giant bird were several figures, although not many on each bird, but with two teams of giant birds, the total number of people they carried was naturally considerable.

  Behind the Emir's fortress, at the far edge of the empty space where the defenders were celebrating, three figures in black robes with golden trim stood quietly in a secluded corner. The one in the middle, who looked extremely young, suddenly raised his head and gazed up at the night sky for a long time, as if searching for something.

  "What's wrong, young one?" Next to the young Goldenbaum, there were two slightly older Goldenbaums, who also gazed indifferently at the celebrating guards. Seeing that the young Goldenbaum was acting strangely, the elder Goldenbaum on the right politely asked a question.

  "It's nothing, I was just overthinking." The young Huang Jin said casually without even turning his head, and then looked back at the city guards who were indulging in food and drink not far away.

  "Since the Grand General has sent a special message to be extra cautious tonight, I think it's better for these young ones to get some rest and stand guard early." The old Huang Jinbao on the right did not show any dissatisfaction with the young Huang Jinbao's impolite behavior, but instead actively changed the subject.

  "Hmm, I think so too. General Daren has rarely misjudged the battlefield situation over the years. Let's be cautious." Old Huang Jinbi, who was leaning to the left, agreed with his companion's suggestion without any hesitation.

  "Alright, you two go to the top of the cliffs on both sides and keep watch. Tonight, I'll be in the rear of the large camp. If anything happens, I'll come immediately at the sound of an arrow being shot." The young man with golden hair said calmly as he walked towards the center of the arena.

  The two old Golden Bimon on the spot exchanged a glance, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared from their original position. The beast tribe warriors around them were still in high spirits and didn't notice the departure of the three Golden Bimon behind them.

  "You're making rapid progress."

  "Unfortunately, I still haven't surpassed you." On the empty ground, Liu Yu looked calmly at the young and strong Golden Blade Warrior in front of him, his words neither rude nor friendly.

  "It's the first time I've seen a balance between magic and martial arts in our clan with the addition of a sixth-order commander and a sixth-order great demon mage."

  "Muluo and Yifan have been dumped, I hope you won't be." The golden armor warrior said with a condescending tone as he walked closer to Liu Yu, then turned around and left.

  "Heh heh." As the other was about to leave, Liu Yu let out a low, careless laugh, then openly looked towards the center of the scene where the beast tribe warriors were dancing and singing around the bonfire.

  When the golden armor warrior heard Liu Yu's laughter, he immediately turned around and stared at Liu Yu's back with a sharp gaze for a long time. However, Liu Yu didn't show any reaction. The golden armor warrior clenched his fist tightly and walked away with a cold expression after a while.

  "Brat, boring." Liu Yu muttered to himself with some disdain after the golden-haired warrior walked away. The golden-haired warrior just now was Bucanning Sobel, the first talent of his generation who trained with him.

  Although he had long known that Bu Gan Ning was serving in the Second Division under Kein, Liu Yu had never met this talented contemporary of his during the several months the Second Division had been supporting the fortress, and yet here he was tonight.

  But this first-rate talent was still as arrogant as before, always with an air of superiority, and finally came to provoke. However, these acts of showing off and being cool in front of Liu Yu, who had lived two lifetimes, were really meaningless.

  Over the past few decades, Liu Yu has deeply understood that 'whoever laughs last, laughs best'. In the future, who will have a high status and strong strength in the kingdom is not determined by what one says, but rather by the accumulation of bit by bit of hard work.

  The whole set of Fu Buji was ridiculous in Liu Yu's eyes, and finally Liu Yu had a laugh that didn't give the opponent any face, which not only showed his confidence but also a show of strength.

  "Everyone disperse, prepare to rest." Just after glancing at the bizarre dance postures of the Bhiman warriors and the Wolf Tribe warriors, Liu Yue heard the commands transmitted through the Qi-infusing Horns by several Bhiman officers.

  "So early..."

  "It's too early, isn't it......" The beast tribe warrior who was having a great time couldn't help but ask.

  "Execute the command, soldier!" A sudden loud shout echoed through the field, interrupting all the soldiers' conversations and startling the somewhat dazed beastmen warriors back to alertness.

  The beast tribe warriors once again showed their highly militarized side, and in less than half a day, the open space behind the fortress was simply cleaned up. Most of the defending troops had already returned to their barracks and military tents to rest.

  "It feels strange somehow." Liu Yu thought to himself, feeling a bit puzzled as he returned to his own camp. The loud shout earlier was very familiar, it was the one Uncle Louis often made.

  Originally, as an officer, shouting to remind the soldiers was nothing. But after Louis's loud shout, Liu Yu suddenly realized that the 500 guards of the King's Guard led by Louis seemed to have not participated in the celebration tonight.

  The guards in the Imperial Guard were a head taller than ordinary Beamon warriors. Even if adult Beamon warriors were over two meters tall, these guards could still easily find themselves standing out from the crowd like cranes among chickens.

  So it was among a group of Mohe warriors, the guards of the Imperial Guard were very recognizable. Liu Yu thought for a moment, he shouldn't have seen any guards tonight.

  "Alexander, how much have you had?" Just pushing open the wooden door and returning to the barracks, a fellow Bamun warrior leaned against Liu Yu's shoulder and asked warmly.

  "Haha, I didn't drink much, just two or three cups, what about you?" He laughed and asked in return, as Liu Yu prepared to help this drunken comrade onto the kang.

  "No need, I'm not drunk, I've only had two cups." Pushing away Liu Yu's hand that was supporting him, the Mongol warrior shook his head and said.

  "Suit yourself, with this whole body of wine aroma, two cups of wine can drink out like this." Although the other party's eyes were indeed very clear, but this body of wine aroma was very heavy.

  "No, I spilled a cup on myself. That wolf-like kid said there was enough wine and meat, but in fact, they had just started and they already said the wine was gone. I clearly saw that there were still several wooden barrels of wine over there, but when I wanted to get some, I was scolded by the school lieutenant."

  The drunken look on the face of this Bi Mong warrior has completely disappeared, and his speech has also returned to normal. It seems that the dazed appearance just now was mostly his own feeling.

  "Oh!" This news made Liu Yu's heart feel even stranger and more uneasy.

  "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore, go to sleep. Those wines were brought into the army anyway, and sooner or later they'll be ours. I reckon Lord Duwei doesn't want us to drink too much tonight." Di Geng, who had returned to the barracks a step ahead of the others, stretched his waist and began urging Liu Yu and the others to get some rest early.

  "Don't drink too much!" 'The speaker is insincere, but the listener is sincere.' While other comrades fell asleep, Liu Yu chose to sit cross-legged on his own bed, and soon there was a faint golden glow around him.

  "This kid is still cultivating his aura." Di Geng glanced at Liu Yu, shook his head in dismay, and then lay down on his own bed.

  At this time, outside Liu Yu's camp, the garrison guarding the pass had returned to its usual quiet after a brief bustle. On the city wall, there was still a lone Bamun warrior walking back and forth on patrol, but for the most part, the Elamite fortress had fallen into slumber.

  "Hiss, hiss, .....". After a continuous gust of cold wind, on the mountain top behind the pass, appeared rows of small figures advancing cautiously. Only half an aisle later, the military camp group behind the pass was only over a thousand meters away.

  At the same time, dozens of giant birds swooped down from the sky, and when they were about to approach the ground, several black shadows jumped off the back of the giant birds and pounced on Emal Fortress.
