Chapter 105 The Giant Eagle of Korra, Filled with Killing Intent
Broken Ridge Hills, Bone-Chewing Clan.
The ogres, having eaten and drunk their fill, sat or lay lazily on the ground, picking their teeth, dozing off, and biting their nails. They appeared very relaxed.
only.
Their weapons were all placed close together within reach.
With just a command, these lazy ogres will instantly transform into elite soldiers and weapons of war.
It has now been three days.
In order to kill Elder Diamond, Garros mobilized the elite forces of other clans, such as overseers and sorcerers, and gathered them to ambush behind the hills.
An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.
Galos doesn't usually need his retinues to fight for him, but that doesn't mean he wants to be their babysitter and keep them safe from danger.
Elder Diamond is no ordinary person.
Because no reconnaissance spell was used to avoid alerting the enemy, Garus estimated that it was at least level 11, possibly 12 or even 13, based on its size.
The probability is highest at level 12.
This life level has already exceeded Galos Level 3, equivalent to the teenage level, and is a golden dragon over 25 years old.
With each level of life advancement, the average level of a creature increases by a grade. Moreover, the diamond giant is the best among giants, exceptionally powerful at the same level, and capable of fighting beyond its level.
To deal with such a diamond giant, hunting it down is the best option.
One-on-one head-on duels are the honor of knights, but not of Garos; he doesn't care about such things.
Compared to illusory glory, Galos craves victory, wants to win in the game of survival, and win again and again, no matter the process.
And it's not just about victory.
More importantly, it is about how to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
If he were to be severely injured or even near death by the opponent's dying counterattack, such a narrow victory would be tantamount to a defeat in Galos's eyes, and would bring huge security risks in the future.
Galus would not underestimate himself.
He knew he was still not a strongman, but he was no longer weak. He was no longer the young dragon who had just left the Iron Dragon Maiden's territory and had to carefully survive. Fighting against opponents of higher levels was not difficult for him.
However, Galus was not arrogant or conceited.
He knew very well that neither dragons nor giants were beings that ordinary ferocious beasts and monsters could compare to. Defeating the diamond giant, who was of a higher level, was not an easy task and carried considerable risk.
But for the sake of a thriving territory that is already on the right track, and for its future growth and development.
After weighing the pros and cons.
Galos believed it was worth the risk.
The family members lay in ambush on the back of the hill.
Galus himself was located high in the sky, his form concealed by thick clouds.
From above, with sufficient distance and acceleration from the flames, Garus can unleash attacks that exceed his own limits.
"Black oil, scale powder, and Blood Explosion Technique—all of these are ready."
"While my subordinates were distracting Elder Diamond and drawing its attention, I gathered my energy, launched a sudden attack, and delivered a fatal blow at its strongest."
"As long as this strongest first strike can severely injure it, we can kill it with minimal losses by surrounding and killing it together with the clan."
Galos pondered his battle strategy, waiting patiently.
However.
Things didn't go as planned.
Galos's plan failed.
Time passed steadily, but from day to dusk, Elder Diamond was nowhere to be seen; he had not come alone.
Another being has arrived in place of Elder Diamond.
The Korra Giant Eagle is a type of creature that originated from the wind elemental plane and gradually spread to various planes. It is a semi-intelligent species with an intelligence level similar to monsters like the Earth Bear. It is born with the ability to sense and control wind elemental energy, and its flight combines speed and elegance, like a dancer in the wind.
Two giant Corraea eagles circled high in the sky, their wingspans exceeding ten meters.
Under the cover of twilight, they stealthily approached the Shattered Ridge Hills, their sharp eyes watching the ogres' movements.
But what the giant eagle Korra didn't know was...
They have been exposed.
High in the heavens above where they were, Galus silently watched their every move.
"Scouts sent by the Stone Giant."
When Garros was scouting the Stone Giants' camp, he saw several Korra Eagles as their followers. It was not hard to guess that these two Korra Eagles were sent by the Stone Giants.
Because their senses are relatively dull, they lack the skills and means to explore.
Stone giants keep creatures like the Korra Eagle in captivity, tasking them with surveillance, reconnaissance, and other missions. Moreover, their traditions include specific methods of domestication.
Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.
There is a difference between hearsay and firsthand observation.
Previously, Galos personally went to explore the Stone Giant's camp instead of sending his followers, firstly for efficiency, and secondly because Galos trusted his own eyes and senses more.
He flew at a higher altitude, avoiding the patrols of the Korra giant eagles and instead getting a clear view of their camp.
“Elder Diamond did not come alone; instead, he sent a giant eagle to scout ahead.”
"Was it out of awareness of danger, or out of a sense of caution?"
Garos narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the two giant Korra eagles, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, the giant eagles of Korra circled silently in the sky, their high-altitude view reflecting the situation of the Shattered Ridge Hills. They flew towards the back of the hills, not just the front, but also the area where the Bone-Chewing Clan was located, their sharp eyes spotting the elite troops hidden behind the hills.
The two giant eagles of Cora looked at each other.
Then, they flapped their wings and quietly disappeared into the twilight, just as quietly as they had come.
However, before they had even left the airspace above the Shattered Ridge Hills, a tremendous sense of oppression suddenly descended from the sky.
The feathers of the two giant Korla eagles were almost standing on end as they looked up at the sky.
Their pupils suddenly contracted, and they gasped for breath.
Above the clouds, a crimson comet was tearing through the night sky and swooping down, its dark red trails from the tips of its wing bones leaving scorch marks in the night.
Galos was like a malevolent star that had fallen from the sky, exuding an aura of death.
Phew!
No longer flying stealthily, the two giant Kola eagles simultaneously increased their speed to the limit, soaring in different directions. Under the enormous threat to their lives, the two 'dancers in the wind' no longer flew gracefully, appearing flustered and disheveled.
Galos pursued at an even faster pace.
He caught up with the larger eagle almost instantly, gripped its neck with his left claw, and held it firmly in place despite its flapping wings. He then seized the eagle, his dark red aura surging behind him, tracing an arc.
Galos quickly turned and caught up with another female eagle traveling in the opposite direction.
Its right claw gripped the second animal's chest cavity like an iron clamp, its claws slightly sinking into the feathers; with a little force, it could tear its breastbone apart.
One claw, one giant Korla eagle.
Under Galus's control, they were all paralyzed, losing all room for resistance and struggle.
With a final flap of its dragon wings, Garus, carrying two giant eagles, landed on a rocky platform atop a hill.
"Now."
Galos released his grip and slammed the two still-breathing giant eagles onto the rock.
Their first instinct was to try to escape again.
With a sweep of its dragon wings, Garus sliced off a tuft of feathers from the top of their heads before they could react.
The two giant eagles of Korra immediately fell silent, trembling in the shadow of Garros, and dared not make another move.
“State your purpose.”
"Garos said."
Red Iron Dragon's words were calm, like a routine question, but under the influence of his rugged and ferocious appearance, they still sounded like a death threat, frightening the giant eagle Kora.
"Investigate information about the Bone Chewing Clan."
"Report the abnormal situation to Elder Aibadan."
"The elders believed that the Bone-Chewing Clan's reaction was unusual and that there was something wrong behind it."
The two giant Korla eagles hurriedly spoke.
Without a doubt, the Elder Abaddon they spoke of was the diamond giant.
Upon hearing the two giant eagles' reply, Garus remained silent, his eyes revealing a deep, almost tangible, chilling killing intent.
