It was late at night.

The Star Sea was like a dream!

Yet the Proadas Plains shone as brightly as day beneath the firelight!

Around the enormous bonfire before the King's Tent stood seats for the kings and chiefs of the continent's many races.

Above the bonfire, the roasted hand of the Thunder Titan had been reduced to nothing but bones.

The Goblin King had distributed his flesh among all the racial leaders present.

This not only reaffirmed their great feat of defeating the Titan Giants, but also proclaimed why the Goblins had replaced the Titans as rulers of the continent!

As one of the Goblins' important allies, Jiang You had received a piece of Titan flesh as well.

Treated through a special method, the Titan flesh had lost its original explosive properties and tasted exceptionally delicious.

After all, this was the flesh and blood of a Demigod.

After this banquet, the people of Ferland seemed to break free of a shackle, overcoming their innate fear of Titans and dragons.

The future practice of bathing in dragon blood and eating dragon flesh began at this very moment, and the dragons would never succeed in stamping it out!

Thus, in the dragons' inherited bloodline memories, the Titans were not only their sworn enemies, but also the bastards who had screwed them over!

Halfway through the evening banquet...

Just as Jiang You was watching with interest as the troll clan chiefs performed drunken boxing bare-chested before the bonfire...

An elderly member of the Human Race approached Jiang You in private.

"Your esteemed Majesty Jiang You, King of the Winged People, I am Yang Yan, one of the Human Race who emerged from the Sanctuary."

"Are you also from the Human Race of the previous era?"

Jiang You asked curiously. The old man's appearance stirred a sense of kinship in him.

"Yes."

The elderly member of the Human Race nodded with a smile.

"Fiona told me that you were originally one of the eastern humans, Your Majesty. We share the same roots. No wonder I felt such kinship when I saw you!"

"Hahaha! I felt the same."

Jiang You laughed heartily.

"So, Master Yang Yan, what brings you to me?"

"Fiona told me that you prefer to get straight to the point, so I will speak plainly. Your Majesty, have you heard of Enchanting Technology?"

"You actually have Enchanting Technology?"

Jiang You's eyes lit up in delighted surprise.

In later ages, enchanters were one of the most popular professions in Ferland.

"To tell you the truth, Enchanting Technology is a supernatural technology we developed by combining the Human Race's science with the supernatural powers of this era. So far, we have developed three types of enchantments."

"Fire, lightning, and wind!"

"We are willing to give you all three types of Enchanting Technology!"

Yang Yan said solemnly.

"Then what do you ask in return?"

Jiang You asked.

"In a few hundred years, when humans are scattered across the continent, please shelter some of them and pass Enchanting Technology back to them!"

The elderly member of the Human Race said.

"Very well, I agree! But I hadn't expected you to have so little faith in the future of the Human Race."

Jiang You nodded solemnly and asked.

The elderly member of the Human Race heaved a long sigh at his words.

"Fiona must have told you already. The Goblins make use of us, but they also guard against us!"

"Although Amigel provides us with 'protection,' he has always believed that the Human Race has the potential to dominate the continent. To preserve Goblin supremacy, our descendants are forbidden from learning the knowledge we possess. Without that knowledge being passed down, the Human Race will become just another ordinary intelligent race on the Ferland Continent and pose no threat to the Goblins!"

Yang Yan said pessimistically.

"Can't you secretly send some of your people away?"

Jiang You suggested.

"We have tried, but until every member of the Human Race from our generation in the Sanctuary has passed away, the Human Race cannot escape the Goblins' watchful eyes."

Yang Yan shook his head.

How ruthless. They mean to keep these members of the Human Race from the Sanctuary penned up until they die!

Hearing this, Jiang You felt sympathy for the Human Race's plight and gained a deeper understanding of the Goblins.

Once the birds are gone, the fine bow is put away.

They could share hardship, but not prosperity!

Although Amigel was now lavishly granting domains to the continent's races, Jiang You had a feeling the Goblins would not truly be so generous.

That night...

Jiang You obtained the Human Race's Enchanting Technology and was in excellent spirits!

What he did not know, however, was that...

That night, the Human Race had approached not only the Winged People, but also the Dwarves, Merfolk, Gnomes, Fairies, and other races.

During the future rise of the Human Race, many races would help them to varying degrees thanks to their ancestors' efforts.

From then on, the Dwarves possessed superb Forging Technique, the Merfolk gained powerful Soundwave Spells, the Fairies developed more varied forms of Elemental Manipulation, and the Gnomes...

To preserve the Human Race's legacy, these humans from the Sanctuary had worried themselves sick and used every last bit of influence they could muster.

The next day...

Jiang You bid farewell to Amigel, Goblin King, left the wounded behind to recover, and led the remaining Winged People legion toward Heavenly Mountain.

Ten days later...

Jiang You and his forces finally reached the skies above Heavenly Mountain.

Nearly eight thousand Winged People warriors beat their wings above Heavenly Mountain, carrying longbows and longswords. They were elite soldiers, poised to strike!

Below them...

Within the Eaglemen Royal Court on Heavenly Mountain, Eaglemen warriors stood on the mountainside, watching the Winged People legion arrayed in the sky with worried expressions!

It was not the Winged People they feared, but the victorious faction they represented.

Just then...

An Eaglemen Envoy took to the air and flew toward Jiang You.

He shouted loudly.

"Your esteemed Majesty, King of the Winged People, please halt your advance. Our envoy set out for Proadas several days ago to present a letter of surrender to the great King of Kings, Amigel, and request permission to submit!"

"Please wait a few more days. The Eaglemen will surely obtain His Majesty Amigel's forgiveness!"

At the Eaglemen Envoy's words, Jiang You sneered and barked without hesitation.

"No need! The Eaglemen Royal Court has no right to exist in Ferland!"

"Amigel will not accept your surrender either. Today, I will storm Heavenly Mountain and destroy your Eaglemen Royal Court!"

Ignoring the Eaglemen Envoy's deathly pale expression, he raised his longbow and roared!

"Warriors, today we avenge nine generations of blood feuds! Kill!"

At his command...

The Winged People raised their weapons and roared in fury!

"Avenge nine generations of blood feuds! Kill!"

"Raze Heavenly Mountain! Kill!"

Almost instantly, a dense rain of arrows hurtled toward the Eaglemen on Heavenly Mountain.

Battle erupted!

Caught off guard, the Eaglemen standing on Heavenly Mountain fell in swathes.

Blood flowed freely, crimson spreading across the entire mountain.

Now all the Eaglemen knew that negotiations had failed. Large numbers took to the air and charged toward the Winged People.

Though they feared the power of the Goblin faction, the enemy had already come slaughtering into their homeland. Only fools would still refuse to fight back.

Several days earlier, the Eaglemen scouts had already discovered the movements of the Winged People army. They had simply clung to wishful thinking.

Tens of thousands of Eaglemen from the Royal Court rose into the air and attacked. Once again, the Winged People exploited the range of their bows, using their previous aerial tactics to drive the Eaglemen back again and again.

Even the faster supernatural fighters among the Eaglemen were blocked by an equal number of Winged People class holders.

Originally, the Eaglemen had possessed more supernatural class holders than the Winged People, but unfortunately, half had died on the battlefield between the Titans and the Goblin alliance.

Just as the Eaglemen's morale was about to collapse, a powerful shout thundered from the largest stone palace on Heavenly Mountain!

"Damn you, Winged People! You've gone too far!"

Then...

A powerful Eaglemen radiating an immense aura of wind charged toward Jiang You and his forces like a sweeping typhoon!

He wore a golden crown and was covered in deep black plumage. Tall enough to stand half a head above an ordinary Eagleman, he looked imposing at first glance.

This was none other than the Eaglefolk's only Legendary, the Eaglemen King Lecлис!

He possessed the Legendary advancement of the Eaglefolk's strongest class, Sky Warrior. His Legendary class: Storm King!
