269. The Relentless Monster Birds

Tang Miao curled his lip and said, "What's the use of looking at me! I think they weren't all killed before, nor did they deal with us. That's why their numbers have doubled."

Even a clear blue sky seems to be obscured by them. Their cries, carried from hundreds of kilometers away, sound like a cacophony of lightning, growing clearer and more piercing!

This is a strange bird that belongs to Demon Beast tribe!

They wouldn't stand a chance against ten thousand of them... let alone one hundred thousand!

Fortunately, they were in a military stronghold.

Just as some people were congratulating themselves on being in a castle, General Mott's voice roared, "I don't care what you've done, get out of this city now, right now!"

Mu Tingying looked at the general in disbelief, as if she hadn't heard him clearly, and asked, "What did you say? You want us to leave?"

Osto hurriedly said, "General, these children will have no chance of survival if they go out!"

General Mott's gaze turned cold, freezing Osto in place. Then he continued, "You mean we have to sacrifice our soldiers? Do you know how many of our soldiers these strange birds can kill?"

Osto was speechless, but he ultimately felt that driving these Chinese athletes out at this time was extremely inhumane, tantamount to tying them to a wooden frame high on a cliff, waiting for vultures in the sky to peck at them!

However, at this point, he obviously wouldn't say another word... After all, if he kept nagging, he might very well be added to the list of people thrown out.

Seeing that the National Team showed no sign of leaving, General Mott turned his gaze to the others, his eyes already filled with murderous intent. He said coldly, "I won't repeat myself. If you don't leave, I'll have no choice but to kill you and throw you out!"

Upon hearing General Mott's words, everyone's anger flared up instantly.

This is forcing them to go out and die!

The strange bird tribe—let alone this group of people, even if you brought a large army, you might not be able to wipe them all out. The only thing they can rely on is the city's defenses.

Nan Jue was somewhat annoyed, but she remained rational and said, "Your country failed to handle the Demon Beast threat properly, so why should we bear the responsibility?"

She knew that her only option now was to deny everything. Only by staying in the castle could they have a chance to survive... otherwise, death was the only outcome.

However, General Mott said unreasonably, "Hmph, we have no obligation to risk our soldiers' lives to save you. I'm only giving you one last minute: leave this city immediately!"

Ai Jiangtu stopped Nan Jue from losing her temper, saying, "Nan Jue, forget it. There's no need to waste our time surviving with this kind of person."

He knew that the other party had been planning to throw them out the moment they met.

Of course, some people wanted to stay there and refuse to leave. However, General Mott was a ruthless man. He was ready to make his move before the strange bird even attacked!

Jiang Shaoxu had reached her limit and pointed at General Mott, saying, "If you have the guts, then kill us all. You can kill any of us here. For every one you kill, our forces behind Huaxia will wipe out your entire clan. I want to see how many high-ranking officials behind this wretched general are enough for us to take revenge on!"

Jiang Shaoxu was also domineering, directly stating in one sentence what General Mott feared most.

Huaxia is a great and powerful nation, and this small country really can't afford to offend it. Moreover, these people are already exceptional talents to have become members of the national government.

If the government wants to resolve this matter, those powerful, independent factions will not be so easy to deal with. On the surface, they will not take any drastic actions, but who knows what kind of retaliation they might carry out behind the scenes?

Despite his apprehension, he still feigned impartiality and said, "Do you think threatening me will work? This whole thing was started by you!"

Jiang Shaoxu snorted coldly, then said, "You say we attracted this strange bird, what evidence do you have?"

Motte sneered, "Hmph, Osto, do you think I have any evidence?"

Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat angry, but she was speechless. After all, their first priority upon arriving here was to find the person who had provoked this restriction.

It wasn't just Motte who was afraid of the power behind Huaxia; Osto was too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken up for them before.

But now that the situation was settled, he said again, "Gentlemen, let's not argue here anymore. I think General Mott is also concerned about the safety of the city. After all, it's a strange bird from a tribe. We in Lima can handle Sea Monster, but dealing with aerial Demon Beast is extremely difficult. I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood. While there's still some time, you should quickly run south along this coastline. There's an old fort there. If you hide there, you can barely hold out for a while. You should quickly figure out where you offended the Nazca Ancient Beast. Perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."

Tang Miao said, "Let's go. We'll deal with these strange birds first, then come back and deal with this brat."

"No, I'm not leaving, you guys go!" Zu Jiming was the most cowardly National Team. He absolutely did not want to get involved in something that would cost him his life.

Tang Miao didn't care and turned to leave, saying, "Then you can stay here. Whether you survive or not is up to you."

Zu Jiming hadn't planned to leave, but seeing Motte's murderous intent, he realized that staying would be the quickest way for him to die. So he quickly followed the others.

After leaving the castle, the group planned to search for it, but just then Tang Miao summoned Flame Ji. There was no other way; they had to waste some energy... otherwise, these strange birds could dismember them in just one minute!

After feeding Flame Ji, the group ran wildly along the long coastline.

As the entire tribe of strange birds drew closer, the group lost all desire to complain and only wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible. After running for a while, they finally spotted an old fortress near a rocky beach. It was an ancient building embedded between sea cliffs, with parts of it even submerged in seawater.

Osto was not lying; the castle's terrain was excellent, resolving their predicament of being surrounded on all sides and allowing them to delay their demise somewhat.

But it only delays things temporarily...
