"What a joke! What do you think the Eastern Army’s Elite Troop is? How could there possibly be anything that can resist the Eastern Army in this world!" The Centurion was still loyally puffing his beard and glaring.
One-Armed merely ridiculed him with a glance and said nothing more.
"Military Counselor Meng, it’s true that the people in Death Valley did not meet ’The Dawn’ by necessity, you’ll know if you come with us. Speaking of which, Supervisor Meng’s arrival is just in time, please help us eliminate the threat."
Lame Man clasped his hands together in sincerity.
Eliminate the threat?
Meng Yi’s eyebrows twitched slightly. The main reason he dared to venture deep into Death Valley fearlessly was that it was a safe period in the valley, and the Man-eating Eagles were still in hibernation.
However, now seeing these hundreds of people carrying sticks and spears in a hurry, could it really be that the Man-eating Eagles have had some new mishap?
Hearing the Centurion’s noisy shouting, Meng Yi finally scolded him.
As soon as Meng Yi spoke, the Centurion immediately fell silent, and without his noise, the howls from the forest became clearer.
Meng Yi turned his head and saw many massive creatures circling at the edge of the cliff.
Seeing the swarming Man-Eating Eagles at the cliff, the two hundred Elite Troop soldiers involuntarily faltered.
They had no concern for battling these minor ruddy men, but facing the Man-eating Eagles was entirely different.
The Man-eating Eagles had powerful attacks; even a catapult could not hit them, let alone just having knives and spears in hand.
Once caught by their sharp claws and taken back to their nest, there would be no chance of return!
"What... what’s going on?"
At that moment, the Centurion panicked and was the first to run to Lame Man to inquire about the situation.
"We don’t know either. Early this morning, those Man-eating Eagles started flying anxiously around the cliff. We hid out of fear of being attacked when going out. Just now, a friend went to check and has not returned; we were about to gather our full strength from the valley to rescue them."
Lame Man Uncle spoke half-truths.
He had just finished speaking when the newcomers’ faces grew even more troubled.
The Centurion secretly regretted coming with Meng Yi; now they were faced with the Man-eating Eagles, how would they escape!
His eyes shifted craftily, fearful that Meng Yi would suggest going to take a look together, and preemptively said, "Since that’s the case, you better hurry to check the situation. Remember to report back if there’s any news."
Just a second ago Meng Yi had scolded the Centurion for taking action without orders, but this time he didn’t call him noisy.
Lame Man raised an eyebrow.
"Are Supervisor Meng and the Centurion different from us going forward? Not to hide from you, we were a bit worried initially, but now with Supervisor Meng’s support, no matter if it’s Dragon Pool or tiger’s den ahead we dare to venture through. Moreover, Supervisor Meng and the Centurion will surely not be scared. Here, we, mere commoners, thank Supervisor Meng in advance!"
Lame Man’s words were clearly out of anger, intentionally dragging Meng Yi into the situation.
Meng Yi had no choice but to have all his soldiers follow.
As they headed toward the cliff, everyone felt uneasy. However, before they could get far, those Man-eating Eagles circling high in the sky spotted them first.
Seeing the swarming crowd approaching, their pupils dilated, and knowing they could not let these ants merge with these two villains, they spread their wings and flew towards them.
Suddenly, the battlefield widened.
The crowd, seeing the Man-eating Eagles turning and flying towards them, was momentarily startled. The people from Death Valley had more or less experienced dealing with Man-eating Eagles before and quickly sought places to hide themselves when they saw the eagles approaching.
While Meng Yi’s two hundred Elite Troops faced the Man-eating Eagles for the first time, they had strict discipline; without Meng Yi’s command to retreat, the men could not and would not fall back.
