Seeing the Chief Judge and several other high-ranking figures around him, the Military Commander immediately shared the news he had just received, news that would shock all of Hangzhou.
"A huge flock of White Demon Eagles has poured out of West Ridge beyond Hangzhou's western fortress. They're starving, frenzied, and utterly reckless. No matter how heavily we bombard them with magic, they show no intention of returning to their nests. Right now, they're flying toward the city en masse..."

"We're in serious trouble..."
Zhu Meng swayed slightly as he spoke, looking utterly shaken.
Tang Zhong nodded with a deep frown. The plague disease had already plunged the city into panic, and this demon beast attack only piled disaster upon disaster.
Everything in Hangzhou... was about to change!

West Ridge had long been an absolute no-fly zone. Even airplane routes had to detour around it, precisely because a huge flock of White Demon Eagles lived there.
White Demon Eagles were violent by nature and fiercely territorial. Even Commander-Level or Monarch-Level creatures flying through their airspace would immediately be attacked by the entire flock,
