But soon, his confusion was resolved.
Because in the sky around, suddenly more than twenty figures flew up from below.
They were not those green-furred Beastn, but humans dressed in Adren uniforms.
"It’s the Royal Griffin Knights!"
Soone imdiately recognized the origin of these people in front of them; the Griffins they rode were simply too distinctive.
Finally, so residents who were still hesitant and fearful cheered up.
They only thought that those Wind Cavalry were the ones repelled by the opponents just now.
Aidan was deeply shaken.
He was the captain of the third squad of the Belbel City Royal Griffin Knights. Upon receiving the crisis intelligence from the sky, he imdiately led his squad of twenty griffin knights to the scene.
Though Griffin Knights and those Wind Cavalry had always been old rivals fighting in the air, when it ca to individual strength, they were actually quite similar.
But this ti it was different. Those Wind Cavalry numbered in the hundreds, while there was only one small squad on their side.
Faced with an opponent ten tis their own, no matter how elite they were, it was useless.
Moreover, the opponents were equally matched Beastman Wind Cavalry, essentially making victory impossible.
But since the enemy had already invaded their territory, as a squad leader, after discovering this, there was no way he could pretend not to see it. Even knowing there’s no chance of winning, he still had to grit his teeth and face it.
He originally intended to keep a distance and engage in long-range skirmishes with the Wind Cavalry until reinforcents arrived.
However, to his surprise, just as he charged halfway with his n, the Wind Cavalry began to fall like dumplings, evidently taken down by soone.
"When did the guards from the Wind Roc Inn beco so strong...?"
With doubts in his mind, he approached the Shield.
"We are the Adren Royal Griffin Knights, third squad, I am Captain Aidan!"
Aidan did not dwell long on his doubts. He directly used his Fighting Spirit to shout to the people inside the Shield:
"Now we will accompany you in flight until reaching the destination, please remain calm and do not panic!"
He repeated this statent a few tis, then led the mbers of the Griffin Knights to follow alongside the Wind Roc, forming a small aerial guard team, escorting them all the way to Tarata.
The crowd was now above Belbel City, less than an hour away from their destination, and they believed they could soon arrive.
On the way, they did not encounter any more dangers, but the Griffin Knights dared not let their guard down, cautiously following all along.
This was only possible with Griffins; if it were any other flying magic beasts, they would have long been left far behind by the Wind Roc.
As they approached the Royal City, a large number of Griffin Knights flew over, accompanying them as if to welco them, until they reached the Wind Roc Taming Ground at the city’s edge.
It seed that not only Belbel City but even people at the Royal City had received the news of the Beastman invasion.
"They’re provoking war!"
In the Royal City, inside the Imperial Court, an Earl in armor angrily said.
"Your Majesty! This cannot end here! We must retaliate imdiately! I am willing to lead the Royal Griffin Knights to give those Green Monsters a profound lesson!"
"No! You are too aggressive! The cause of the incident has not been investigated yet; how can conclusions be drawn recklessly!"
An elderly man with white hair stood out to refute:
"The origin of those Wind Cavalry is still under discussion, perhaps there are hidden reasons... War is not child’s play, Count Spelitan! I know you are eager for rit, but you must also consider how to bear the consequences if this is a misunderstanding!?"
The Earl sneered and said:
"Solis, why are you so cowardly!? All I know is that a group of heavily ard green-furred Beastn, riding their Black Feathered Demon Vultures, reached the edge of our Royal City and attacked a Wind Roc full of passengers!"
"I don’t care what their reasons are; when those Wind Cavalry appeared within our territory, they were already declaring war on us!"
"Fool! Where is the declaration if there’s no war docunt!? The peace between humans and Beastn has been maintained for thirty years, not sothing to break as one pleases!"
"Coward! I think you’ve had it too comfortable and forgotten how to fight!"
"..."
In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Those present were basically divided into two factions.
One advocated imdiate retaliation, while the other hoped to first investigate the matter clearly before making further plans.
On a high platform, a young man in luxurious golden robes sat on the throne, with a solemn expression, silently watching the quarrel below.
This was none other than the current king of the Adren Kingdom, Rol Adren.
Rol was also troubled, not knowing which side to heed.
He subconsciously glanced at an empty seat below, feeling a bit more distressed.
That was his teacher’s seat, the position of the strongest Holy Professional among humans, McCarthy Larentra.
If the teacher were here now, he could ask for his opinion, and might not be so indecisive as now.
Unfortunately, the teacher had left so ti ago, saying he needed to investigate sothing.
However, just as Rol was still hesitating, a guard suddenly rushed into the hall from outside, bowing with a panicked expression, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I have news from Moleban: our garrison has just suffered a massive invasion by the Beastman Kingdom, and the city is currently in great danger, requesting reinforcents from Your Majesty!"
"What!?"
This news imdiately made everyone in the hall stare wide-eyed.
"Unbelievable! How dare they!!"
The elder from earlier imdiately beca furious.
He had just been arguing with that damned Count Spelitan, saying they should first understand the situation, as it might just be a misunderstanding.
But just as the discussion was halfway through, who knew they would already be slapped in the face, launching an attack directly with an army.
"How could this be... Why would the Beastn do such a thing... Do they really want to provoke another war between humans and the beast race!?"
"Ha, Solis, what else do you have to say now, these Green Monsters are here for slaughter, they want to start a war!"
"But... why are they doing this, is the hard-earned peace now going to be broken again?"
Many couldn’t understand, but the iron-clad facts were right in front of them; even if they were unwilling to believe it, there was no better solution.
At this mont, a few more people hurriedly entered from outside the hall, reporting the recent events.
"The Vanose Mountains have been attacked, requesting reinforcents!"
"Gatla Lake is also under attack, requesting reinforcents!"
"Kunte is facing a pincer attack from two armies, requesting reinforcents!"
"..."
Bad news ca one after another.
No matter what the signs were, the Beastn seed to have gone mad, launching a massive invasion of the Adren Kingdom’s borders.
"Damn it! Deploy reinforcents imdiately! Our border towns must not fall!"
Rol finally couldn’t sit still, standing up imdiately to give the order to deploy troops.
