Chapter 911: The Land Of The Giant Eagle (1)

In the middle of the Free Valley stood a huge and worn-out statue. It was a tall and mighty sculpture, carved out of hard diamond. It was a statue of an eagle just about to take flight. Situated in the most exposed area in the Free Valley, the eagle statue had been unprotected from the elements and its lifelike feathers had already been eroded by wind and rain. Although it had already lost its former luster, that statue had bore witness to the many changes that had happened in the valley over thousands of years.

Countless battles had been fought here. The forces within the Free Valley were ever changing. Every generation brought along its own powerful practitioners. All sides battled each other fiercely to curb one another. And the decisive battles had always been carried out in this very area full of ancient aura.

Blood and tears permeated every inch of soil here. The piercing wails accumulated over the thousands of years could still be heard mingled in the wind.

Duanmu Hongru led a massive Yan Luo Dian army to the Land Of The Giant Eagle. The rampant winds stung the faces of everyone.

“Where are the troops from Zhai Xing Lou?” Duanmu Hongru turned to his assistant.

“They will be here soon.”

Duanmu Hongru nodded and tightened his grip on his lance.

Duanmu Hongru was the deputy city lord of Yan Luo Dian and the confidante of Chi Tong. He was one of the few men whom Chi Tong had personally brought over to the Free Valley and was also once a general in the Kingdom of Sa Er. A great follower of Chi Tong, he had led armies through major battles and killed countless enemies. Now, he was the deputy city lord of Yan Luo Dian and one of Chi Tong’s closest confidantes. He was personally leading the army in this decisive battle with Zhai Xing Lou. Among the hundreds of thousands of men following behind him, nearly a hundred were like him—former soldiers of Sa Er having been brought to the Free Valley by Chi Tong.

But…

There was no point looking into the past anymore. They were now Yan Luo Dian men and were fighting to protect the honor of Yan Luo Dian.

Chi Tong had been the teenage general of the Kingdom of Sa Er. He already held the fierce reputation of being a victorious battle god in his teens, and that name had spread to the Free Valley. Chi Tong’s military aura and precision had not lessened. His bearing also influenced his men, even in these savage lands, giving off the air of a proper army troop.

It was the existence of this very army troop that formed the backbone of Yan Luo Dian’s standing.

“Have our brothers rally. This is one battle that we cannot lose.” Duanmu Hongru spoke up gravely.

“Brothers, hold on to your nerves. This is the decisive battle with Zhai Xing Lou. We all want to see just how much Gong Zhiyu can endure. As many schemes as he could conjure faced with a direct battle, his little tricks are useless.” The deputy city lord gave a cold smile even as he choked back his true feelings.

If not for Gong Zhiyu’s appearance, how could Zhai Xing Lou have turned the tables?

Duanmu Hongru couldn’t help frowning on hearing the name Gong Zhiyu. Duanmu Hongru was a born soldier and was once a reputable general. He was an old hand at military strategies, but their multiple attack attempts had been thwarted by Zhai Xing Lou over this period. According to their sources, the plans to block their attacks all arose solely from the second young master of Zhai Xing Lou, Gong Zhiyu.

Although he had never met this Gong Zhiyu, Duanmu Hongru could already tell from his schemes that this was no ordinary man. Just going by the intelligence of this person was enough to resign oneself.

“Gong Zhiyu is no ordinary man. He would probably be personally overseeing his side of this war. We must be very careful when the time comes.”
