These eagles have jet-black feathers, robust bodies, and their broad, powerful wings, when spread out, blot out the sky.
Their claws are as sharp as steel hooks, and with their piercing eyes, they resemble death itself, flying through the air.
Qin Yue Zhao and Chen Wan'er stood back to back, facing the attack of the mastiff. Although they were somewhat flustered, they quickly spotted a man blowing a whistle in a secluded spot on the cliff.
"Wan'er, do you see that? These eagles are being controlled by that man. Go quickly and kill him!"
Chen Wan'er was extremely worried.
"Your Highness, these eagles are too fierce; you can't handle them alone!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of powerful hoofbeats echoed through the dense forest—the Huo family army's reinforcements had arrived.
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yue Zhao shouted, "The Huo family army is here! Hurry up and kill that tamer! If he gets away, everything we've done will have been for nothing!"
Seeing this, Chen Wan'er had no choice but to steel herself, kick a mastiff away on the spot, and then fly towards the cliff.
Almost simultaneously, dozens of armed assassins flew out from within.
Swords, spears, clubs, axes, hooks, and forks—it looked like all the assassins lurking in Liangcheng had been mobilized.
Qin Yue Zhao couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious. It was impossible for He Ji to be able to organize such a large-scale operation in Liangcheng by himself alone.
Just as she was pondering, several assassins had already bypassed Qin Yue Zhao and surrounded her.
She moved with lightning speed and fluidity, slicing through the throat of the nearest assassin as swiftly as a fleeting shadow.
The air was thick with the stench of blood. A mastiff swooped down, howling, and devoured the dead assassin's body.
Seeing this, the man on the cliff was furious. He never expected that the Northern Barbarian assassins were so useless; dozens of them couldn't even kill Qin Yue Zhao.
In desperation, he could only frantically blow his whistle, hoping the mastiff would strangle Qin Yuezhao.
However, at the critical moment, a dark figure rushed into the flock of eagles, holding a crossbow, and fired an arrow at the mastiff that was about to touch Qin Yue Zhao.
A huge black shadow crashed from the sky to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
Qin Yue Zhao turned her head and saw that Han Tianba and Shen Nuo had arrived, followed by dozens of Nan family soldiers.
In an instant, the situation reversed. The Northern Barbarian assassins were surrounded, and dozens of crossbows fired wildly into the sky, causing the corpses of mastiffs to fall to the ground like rain.
The Northern Barbarian assassins died one after another, and the manipulator on the cliff saw this and turned to escape.
However, before he could run two steps, Chen Wan'er flew over and blocked his path, placing a sword against his neck.
