Imperial Crown.

Chapter 473 You have to do it
"Shoot the arrow!!!"

Hojaz rushed over at full speed and ran into the Eagle Man who had not yet retreated. No! Strictly speaking, the Eagle Man was not in a hurry to retreat!
This group of Eagle men had gone completely crazy with killing, each of them had an expression of evil taste on their face and an evil arc at the corner of their mouth. They were even in an excited state of "not having enough fun". That's right, from early morning to dark, throughout the whole day, this group of Eagle men only fought two battles in total.

When facing the Wind King's troops, the Eagle People relied on their richer combat experience and more flexible flying skills to achieve a complete victory. This was mainly because the Wind King's troops had no experience in fighting against large-scale air forces, and they simply subconsciously relied on the previous advantage of "I can only fight others, but others can't fight me". So when they met the Eagle People, this innate advantage was gone, and they were stunned all of a sudden! In addition, this decisive battle was hastily fought, and no detailed tactics were formulated at all, so it was reasonable that they were completely defeated.

But no matter how weak the Wind King's troops were, as a magical beast, the Wind King was still very powerful. If they really had to fight one-on-one, the Wind King who had awakened the magic of two races would be much stronger than the Eagle Man who had not awakened his fighting spirit and became extraordinary! But because they had Eagle soldiers on their backs, the Wind King could not be as flexible as the Eagle Man. Otherwise, the Eagle soldiers on their backs would not have died at the hands of the Eagle Man, but would have died at the hands of the Wind King.

Needless to say, the soldiers of the Eagle Army, even though they were defeated and afraid of death, would burst out with inexplicable bravery at the critical moment and dare to die together with their fellow Eagles!

This led to the fact that although the Eagle People won a great victory in the battle in the early morning, they won very cautiously and carefully...even a little aggrieved. Especially the death of Enzo made these Eagle People realize that once they came into contact with the enemy's ground forces, they would lose their lives in minutes!
So

The war against the mercenaries at dusk became a way for the Eaglemen to vent their desires! However, these mercenaries were cowardly and had no cooperation with each other, almost becoming living targets for the Eaglemen to play with!

Just like fish and shrimp in a fish tank, they were allowed to be played with and killed by the Eagle People!
They had been bored all day, and finally came across such an "interesting" task. They were like gamblers at the poker table. How could they bear to leave easily?
Compared to the name "mercenaries", the orcs prefer to call this kind of human "adventurers". Whether it is the Orc Empire or the Elf Empire, there is never a shortage of these "annoying fleas". They always come in groups of three or five, secretly sneaking into the Orc Empire and the Elf Empire, and then capturing lone orcs and elves, and then selling them to those damn human nobles at a high price!
This is a real headache for the two major races, the orcs and the elves!

These hunting teams are often composed of fewer but more powerful adventurers. Once they smell danger, they will dig a cave and hide like goblins. But if a large force is not dispatched, the lone orcs and elves are often no match for these adventurers and will always be captured alive and brought back to the human world to be tortured and ravaged!
In front is the thousand-year-old public feud between humans and orcs, and in the back is the private grudge between adventurers and orcs!
Therefore, these Eagles would not let these mercenaries go easily no matter what! And the reason why Mupe chose to stop these mercenaries might not be because he wanted revenge!
Therefore, when a fierce roar from Hoyaz was heard, the group of Eagle men woke up one by one, but it was too late. Countless arrows and crossbows shot towards them, and dozens of Eagle men were shot down immediately!
By this time the sky was already dark, and it was a time of retreat and large-scale troop maneuvers. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a scene of a great animal migration, so the arrival of Hoyaz and his men was not noticed.

From early morning till now, this is the first time that the Eagle People have suffered such heavy casualties!
Mupei, who was far away, was shocked and angry. He had been cautious all day in order to preserve the fighting power of his tribe as much as possible. He never thought that at the moment when both sides were withdrawing, so many people would be injured at once! He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn human race! Didn't you hear the order to withdraw and cease fire! You cunning human race actually disobeyed the agreement and attacked us?!"

Hoyaz sneered. This eagle man was so silly that he was cute. He didn't say a word about his delay in leaving, but instead shamelessly accused him!

"kill!"

Hoyaz waved his hand and roared again, stabbing the Eagle Man who had just been shot and fallen to death with the Sohei Blade in his hand!

The rest of the people were not willing to be outdone and followed suit. It was a pity for these dozens of Eagle men. They didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy and died in the northwest.

Hoyaz's orders immediately caught Mupe's attention. It turned out that this incredibly young man with golden curly hair was the commander of the 20,000 soldiers on the left! It was he who set up the iron barrel defense formation and made Jing Ge suffer a setback for the whole day!

"Stupid!" Mupei cursed in his heart. He didn't know whether the other party was careless or too young. He didn't wear his helmet at this moment. In the eyes of the Eagle Man, this was almost a fatal flaw! Mupei immediately decided to teach the other party a lesson he would never forget! Let this little guy be a wise man in his next life, that is, when facing the Eagle Man, he must first protect his head!

At this time, there was no one else around him within 60 to 70 feet. This was the best time for Mu Pei to behead him! If he could take the head of the commander of 20,000 soldiers, he would have gained more and made greater contributions than Jing Ge in today's battle!
"court death!"

After cursing, Mupei flew towards Hojaz quickly. He was absolutely confident that he could kill Hojaz before the others could react! And in fact, it was true. When Mupei flew at full speed, his speed was almost as fast as lightning. He was a few hundred meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he arrived above Hojaz's head. Mupei's only combat skill, the Cross Bone Crushing Blade, was activated again. Under the dim night, a yellow glow of fighting spirit suddenly lit up.

"I'm waiting for you!"

A smile of success suddenly appeared on Hoyaz's face, and he shouted, "Brothers! Go!"

"Yes!"

The ordinary soldiers of the Eagle Army who seemed to be standing loosely around them all burst into colorful fighting spirit at this moment! A distance of just over 20 meters was too easy for a second-level extraordinary person. In just a moment, Mu Pei was trapped in a situation of being surrounded!
"No! I was fooled!"

Mupe was horrified, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to pull up his body!
But the next moment, a rope was wrapped around his ankle! No! It wasn't a rope, it was water! It was a rope condensed from water! It was the Jade Waves Combat Skill of the Water Element of Hojaz - Giant Sea Net!
At the beginning, he relied on this fighting skill and managed to kill the third-level abomination with everyone else!
Now facing Mu Pei, who is also at the second level, there is naturally no reason to let him escape from his hands!
In fact, Mupei's plan was very good. He flew over and used the combat skill Cross Bone Crushing Blade. If Hojaz was not extraordinary, he would die under this combat skill. If Hojaz was also extraordinary, he would also use combat skills to resist! By then, Hojaz would be in a dilemma of being distracted. It would only take 1 second, no, even 0.03 seconds, for Mupei to use his sharp claws to open at least four blood holes on Hojaz's head!
The Eagle People's advantage has never been in fighting spirit and combat skills, but in flying and speed.

It's like an eagle hunting a bird. It just simply flies over the bird. To the naked eye, a pair of claws looks like a dragonfly lightly touching the bird's head like a dragonfly skimming the water. There is no visible force or effort at all. But when the eagle flies away, the bird will fall straight down from the sky.

This was Mupei's plan, and he never expected that all this was part of Hoyaz's calculations. He was betting with his own life, betting that Mupei would not dare to fight him to the death, and would turn around and run away as soon as he encountered danger!

And he made the right bet, so when Hoyaz used his fighting skills, most of them were used to resist the Cross Bone Crusher Blade, leaving only a little to entangle Mupe, and that was enough!

When four or five combat skills and weapons bombarded Mupei, he subconsciously used his wings to protect his head. Bang, bang, bang, after a few sounds, Mupei let out a shrill wail. His left wing was completely shattered, and gray feathers exploded all over the sky, falling from the sky like rain!

"Save me! Save me quickly!"

Mupei struggled and wailed, his ugly appearance was exposed. Zori was the first eagle man to notice something was wrong. He flew over quickly, grabbed the feathers on Mupei's head, and quickly flew into the air with him!
"Pity!"

Hoyaz murmured regretfully.

It was obviously not enough to leave only a small part of the fighting skills. Mupe used his wings to exchange for his own life. He would never be fooled again. Hoyaz no longer had the chance to kill the opponent.

But can an eagle man who has lost his wings still be called an eagle man? This would probably be more painful for the opponent than killing him.

Looking at the eagle men rising into the sky and following Mupe, Hoyaz looked around and said, "Retreat."

……

"Idiot! Let go! Let go now!"

Mupei, who had seen his base camp from afar, roared angrily. Zorri quickly released his claws, and two eagle men flew over, quickly supported Mupei on the left and right, and took him to the base camp. He reached out and touched his head, and suddenly four bloody holes appeared on his head. Mupei slapped him in anger, and Zorri saw stars! "Stupid, look at what you scratched on my head! Did you see that I was injured and want to take my place?!"

Zuo Rui covered his cheek with grievance, "No, Chief, it was an emergency, I just didn't pay attention to you!" "See how cunning and treacherous these humans are!" Mu Pei also knew that he was angry, so he could only grit his teeth and change the subject: "This time I will use my own experience to teach you a lesson. In the future, when you face the humans, kill them all!"

The surrounding Eagle people nodded in agreement.

"Go back quickly and stop the bleeding for this chief! What are you still standing there for!" Looking at his left wing that was beaten to pieces, Mupei's eyes turned black and he almost fell down with his head raised. He became more and more irritable.

After returning to his own tent and bandaging his left wing, Mu Pei hurried into Jing Ge's tent.

"How did it become like this?"

Jing Ge looked at the blood-stained and embarrassed Mu Pei with a surprised look on his face, because he knew very well that Mu Pei had just watched coldly in the air all day and had not participated in the battle at all. He was so seriously injured, could it be that Raven had taken action?
Mu Pei said angrily: "I saw a group of mercenaries going to support, so I thought of stopping them to relieve the pressure on the Blood Swamp Tramplers Corps of the Lord, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap of the human race and break the left wing!"

After saying this, Mupe felt a little sad. Now, let alone sharing the profits from the war, it was hard to say whether he could keep his position as a small chief.

"Ugh"

Jing Ge reached out his hand and patted Mu Pei on the shoulder. "It's my fault. I indeed underestimated the strength of the human army!" Jing Ge's tone was complicated. "I didn't expect that the human race would have such a brave army. It's not shameful for us to lose to Raven!" Having said this, Jing Ge paused, and then continued, "Now I have a plan that guarantees that I can defeat Raven's army and avenge you."

Mu Pei's eyes sparkled, "My lord, what's the plan? I will go all out this time!"

Mu Pei knew that his behavior today would definitely cause dissatisfaction in Jing Ge. Now that he had lost his left wing, he had to show his value, otherwise he would soon be replaced.

"Very good, with your attitude, this plan will succeed!" Jing Ge had a sly smile on his face. "This plan is very simple. Although we did not win the battle today as planned, the same is true for Raven. Why don't we continue to hold Raven back and then notify Lord Silver Mane?!"

"As long as my father Broken Tooth, Silver Mane, and Igne lead the army across the Tallin River, Raven will definitely not be able to escape!"

Jing Ge expressed his thoughts calmly.

Mupei: “…”

Isn't this exactly what I proposed in the beginning? You threatened me to agree to your idea of ​​a decisive battle, and now that you are defeated and have no other choice, you tell me my idea as if it were your own plan? Now that my left wing is broken, you are thinking of informing Lord Silver Mane? If I had followed my idea earlier, would my left wing still be broken?

For the first time, Mupe realized that orcs could be as shameless as humans.

"Okay, this is a good plan!"

No matter how angry he was, Mupei smiled in agreement and nodded, saying, "As long as the army crosses the Tallin River, no matter how many tricks Raven has, they will be useless!"

Jing Ge laughed loudly and made a joke that he thought was very humorous: "It's not useless! It's just useless!"

Mupe's face twitched, but he didn't respond.

"But this plan is still missing the most crucial link."

Jing Ge took out the roasted meat and handed it to Mu Pei. He also chewed it with big mouthfuls. Scarlet blood spurted out from the half-cooked meat like a blood arrow. "And this link must be you!"

"It has to be me?" As an eagle man, Mupe didn't like this kind of half-cooked meat that was only roasted to 50%, but he had to pretend to take a bite. He knew in his heart that this meat came from the cannon fodder wild boarmen who had just died on the battlefield today.

"Correct!"

Jing Ge swallowed with big mouthfuls, obviously he was also very hungry, "I need your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of cold light suddenly burst out from Jing Ge's four thick fingers. The sharp dagger slashed across, and blood gushed out of Mu Pei's neck like a fountain.

patter
The barbecue in Mu Pei's hand fell to the ground. He looked down at his own blood on the ground in astonishment and subconsciously covered his neck, "Why, why... hehehe"

"madness!"

Jing Ge frowned and scolded, "Without your life, who will take the responsibility for today's battle? Lord Silver Mane's temper, you and I know it all!"

Mupei didn't expect that he didn't die at the hands of Hoyaz, but died in Jing Ge's tent. However, his consciousness gradually faded, and he could only fall backwards with an unwilling look on his face.

"Go, call Zorri from the Eagle Tribe to me!" Jing Ge's calm voice came from the big tent.
