The vast Lamishu grassland was left behind. After the iron-spine bird that had been given a boosting spell let out its high-pitched and sharp whistle, it carried the sleeping golden-winged giant eagle Norun on its back, and Raymond, who was sitting on his head and meditating, dived downwards.
Although it was isolated by a force field barrier, when the iron-spine bird's own speed was superimposed with the gravity effect, Raymond, who noticed the change in speed, couldn't help but wake up from his meditation.
The thin clouds were torn apart by the high-speed dive of the Iron-spine Bird. After the sound barrier was broken, everything in front of Raymond's eyes was slightly distorted and deformed.
But the iron-spine bird underneath him, which was excited for some reason, folded its wings in vain and plunged into the ground like an awl!
The sharp sound of blasting in the air made Nolen, the golden-winged eagle curled up and sleeping soundly, also notice that something was wrong. After protruding its head from under its wings, it was stunned for a moment and then waved its left wing angrily. , slapped the iron-spine bird hard on the neck!
The whistling of Qingyue suddenly stopped, and the sudden blow caused the iron-spine bird to lose its balance. With the appearance of the panic and wailing, the iron-spine bird, which was swooping like an awl, began to spin uncontrollably at high altitude.
The instigator, the golden-winged giant eagle Nolendang, was thrown off the back of the iron-spine bird, and Raymond, who was sitting on its head, had already adjusted his sight distance so that he could see the situation below.
Soon Raymond's face darkened. The golden-winged giant eagle Nolen who was thrown away and howled could not attract his attention, because just below, at the southern foothills of the Talite Mountains, there was a raging mountain fire. It seems to have been precisely controlled and is rapidly spreading towards the northern ridge!
The billowing smoke caused by wildfires that stretched for hundreds of kilometers blocked the green foothills below. However, after the sight distance was narrowed, Raymond could still see the presence of some humans, as well as those flying beast masters who were intercepting them. Or a wizard giving orders.
Seeing this, he tapped the iron-spine bird's head with his left hand, and with the effect of the spell, a force field light arc appeared on the body surface of the iron-spine bird, which had stalled. As it stopped falling, it gradually regained its balance. , the golden-winged giant eagle Norun who was thrown out before also rushed over. He jumped on the back of the iron-spine bird and quickly grabbed the back feathers of the iron-spine bird, and then started yelling!
As if it knew it had made a mistake, the iron-spine bird chirped pitifully, and then slowed down its descent.
But Raymond, who ordered him to fly westward along the line of fire, had not been able to check for a long time when several people riding white-headed gryphons rushed over from the south side of the line of fire in a menacing manner.
Feeling that he was being locked by several mysterious auras, Raymond's face darkened and he ordered the Iron-spine Bird under him to slow down and hover. However, these guys who were outflanking actually put on a surrounding posture, and one of them shouted before he could get closer. "The Heilans family is hunting, if you want to watch the fun, please stay away!"
The very rude roar made the golden-winged giant eagle Nolen a little angry. After standing up, Raymond looked around and realized that these guys who had gathered to outflank were all wearing the same style of cyan wizard robes. , their chests have the clan emblem embroidered with gold thread, and everyone wears a mask with fine mesh.
It was impossible to see the faces of these people, but except for the one who spoke before, he probably had the strength of a second-level wizard, while the others were only first-level wizards.
It's just that these people all have white-headed gryphon mounts, and they are obviously very wealthy.
Ignoring the man's expulsion, Raymond closed the sight distance and discovered that the members advancing along the line of fire towards the northern ridge were obviously just ordinary people with powerful abilities. They wore half-length armors of different styles.
Holding spears in small groups, they would kill or drive away the beasts that escaped from the line of fire on the spot, while the magical beasts that tried to break through the line of fire and go south were dealt with by the wizards or knights who were pressed behind.
Using ordinary people to carry out such an action would naturally result in heavy casualties, but the second line of defense scattered more than ten meters behind these ordinary people was almost composed of knights and low-level wizards, maintaining order or performing surveillance in mid-air.
Although many people are riding flying beasts, they are obviously the least likely to suffer harm.
The wizard class is not allowed to interfere with the lives of ordinary people, so Raymond was puzzled that such an iron law was violated.
The leader who just spoke now also saw clearly the situation of the two birds in front of him. The iron-spine bird, which was only used as a flying beast, would not take it seriously. But the one hovering beside him
That golden-winged giant eagle is obviously mature, and its strength should be at least the same as mine!
To be able to appear here with such a master of beasts, the strength of the man sitting leisurely on the head of the iron-spine bird was beyond his ability to see. Therefore, the leader, who felt that his previous words were a bit imprudent, quickly lowered his posture and persuaded him.
"My lord, no matter where you come from, this is the territory of the Heilans family. I hope you will not interfere with this hunting..."
Raymond, who had already released his senses, now roughly understood the situation within a kilometer radius, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at this man's statement. "Interference? Is this the hunting of your Heilans family?"
The coldness in his words made the leader a little angry, but the unreasonable palpitations in his heart still made him lower his head and quickly replied. "Reporting to your lord, this is a joint hunting in accordance with the order of the Supreme Council, because the tower
There are golden-threaded hidden pythons at the southern foot of the Lite Mountains, so in order to capture them all, we have to use this method..."
Since he found that the opponent's strength was somewhat difficult to judge, the leader, who was carrying out a joint hunting trip, readily told the reason.
This time, the lords of the seventeen territories outside the Talite Mountains received the order at the same time. The Supreme Council of the Tower Land asked these lords to use all of them to conduct a thorough clearing of the Talite Mountains to collect them.
Raw materials that can be provided by many types of Warcraft.
Therefore, the Hylans family, whose territory is located at the southern foot of the Talite Mountains, has to use ordinary people in the territory to distribute armors and weapons due to lack of manpower, and then launch a fire attack on the foot of the mountain where the Golden Thread Hidden Python is located. It must be
Concentrate them so you can catch them all.
Raymond, who became more and more angry as he listened, couldn't help but darken his face. "In this way, won't all the monsters in the entire Talite Mountains be wiped out by you?"
The leader hesitated after hearing the sound and didn't know how to answer. But sensing that something was wrong with the situation here, a middle-aged man without a mask, who was followed by several guards, quickly came to Raymond.
, bowed and then replied with a wry smile. "My lord, this is an order from the Supreme Council. The seventeen lords outside the entire Talite Mountains are executing it. The Heilans family has no guts to disobey..."
Seeing his extraordinary popularity, Raymond, who suppressed his anger, thought for a moment before continuing to ask. "Resist? I believe that all of you lords who settled on the outskirts of the Talite Mountains rely on the products of the Talite Mountains to survive. It's so obvious.
You will also carry out the extermination? Aren't you afraid that the whole family will have no place to live in the future?"
The expression of the middle-aged man facing Raymond became a little strange, and after a moment he sighed helplessly. "There is no way! The Heilans family has settled here for more than three hundred years, but the Supreme Council has
Who dares to disobey the orders issued? What’s more, the compensation conditions granted by the Supreme Council are also very reasonable, so..."
The middle-aged man's words were not clear, but Raymond already understood that the compensation given by the Supreme Council must be extremely generous, so that the lords living on the outskirts of the Talite Mountains would have to implement it.
Seeing the people in the Hylansi family in front of him also understood the serious consequences, Raymond, who had no way to vent the anger in his chest, sneered. "It seems that the planned action is about to start, so even this kind of extermination massacre will not be spared."
Got it!"
"My lord, the number of orders from the Supreme Council has increased since three days ago. I heard that the closer we are to the tower, the more frequent orders like this are. As an ordinary family, we really have no choice.
…”
While sighing, the middle-aged man of the Heilans family hurriedly left and started chasing the line of fire with the wizards in his clan.
But as Raymond looked at the fireworks soaring into the sky, his doubts became more and more intense...
