Chapter 608: Chapter 40 Air Supremacy

On the day Li Yu returned, Ireya had just led her people to conquer the sixth barbarian tribe, but this time the situation was a bit different.

Because those barbarians had actually chosen to abandon their homeland and had run away in advance.

Although they only managed to take a small portion of their food due to the rush, most of it was still piled up in the granaries.

Yet, the Lady sensed something unusual from this.

Had someone leaked the information in advance? However, those associated with Morse had already been detained, so there couldn’t still be a spy, could there?

Compared to that, it seemed more likely that people from the previously plundered tribes had escaped and informed this tribe.

Afterward, Miss Rabbit asked the monks from the Double Rest Sect to release four Three-eyed Divine Birds to see where those barbarians had fled to.

Three of the Three-eyed Divine Birds came back, but one lost contact midway.

The Lady took this matter very seriously; she sent out nearly a thousand people to search that area extensively, nearly turning it upside down, but they still found no trace of the missing Three-eyed Divine Bird.

Thus, when Li Yu came back, she was like a primary school student who had come to school without her homework, her ears drooping, continuously staring at her boots.

However, the Prophet from the Double Rest Sect didn’t blame her.

Li Yu only wanted the footage captured by the missing drone, which he watched several times over.

The video showed that the drone had not crashed due to mechanical failure or improper handling, but rather seemed to have been hit by something.

The body of the drone shook violently before it fell, but the attack came from an unseen angle.

Ultimately, Li Yu through slow-motion playback noticed that at the final moment of the video, a blurry object appeared in front of the camera.

Afterward, Li Yu enlarged the image, examined it carefully for a moment, and finally confirmed that it was likely a segment of an index finger.

The Prophet of the Double Rest Sect said to the Lady, "It seems we have guests again."

"Who?"

"The true allies of those Dwarfs," Li Yu said, "probably also the reason they dare to wage war against the Empire."

Normally, in a universe plane with only a Medieval Civilization level, a few drones would have been enough to maintain absolute air supremacy.

But Li Yu of course would not forget about the Wing Tribe.

With wings sprouting from their backs, they were born as a natural air force and were much more agile in the air compared to drones.

Once targeted by them, the drones hardly stood a chance of escaping.

After hearing Li Yu’s explanation, Miss Rabbit couldn’t help but worry again.

"The Wing Tribe has also come? If that’s the case, wouldn’t our Three-eyed Divine Birds become useless? And won’t our movements be completely tracked by those Dwarfs?"

The Lady had just experienced the joy of waging war with a mini-map open, grasping every move of the opponent, where all plots and schemes were nowhere to hide, and she could comfortably command and deploy based on the situation on the ground.

In fact, these past few days she had been continuously victorious in battles, had even resolved a food crisis, and had received unanimous praise from the military. Privately, some had even started calling her the Valkyrie of the Empire.

Miss Rabbit felt like she had completely transformed into one of those miraculous Iron Birds.

Li Yu said, "Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be many from the Wing Tribe this time; otherwise, with their arrogant nature, they wouldn’t need to hide from us and would probably have already come to greet us."

"But even if there are only one or two, it’s still troublesome," the Lady said gravely.

"Don’t worry, leave those guys to me," Li Yu said.

......

Jacob had been dealing with those Dwarfs for a year, and as a noble of the sky species, even though he wasn’t well-regarded by other Wing Clans like the Seagull Tribe, he couldn’t quite respect these despicable land species.

However, this time he had received an oracle from the Mother Goddess to be the vanguard and land on this unfamiliar land first.

To prepare for the arrival of the army.

Although the Wing Clan Warriors had an absolute advantage when facing those land species, they had to admit that they were a bit short on numbers.

To completely conquer this continent, more servants or helpers would be needed, so although Jacob despised those Dwarfs who were drunk all day, each more boastful than the next, greedy and cunning,

he still had to hold his nose and deal with them, cajoling and intimidating these Dwarfs to help them conquer, or at least disrupt, the Western Territory.

Jacob had devised a brilliant plan that would significantly deplete the resistance force of the Western Territory right at the start of the war.

The first part of the plan had been successful, even more successful than he had anticipated, but those Dwarfs almost botched the second half.

They were ambushed in Gravel Valley with a thousand troops, originally just to watch over the remnants in the valley before the Empire’s reinforcements arrived.

As long as they completed this task, they could withdraw.

In Jacob’s view, there was nothing simpler than this, yet retreat soon turned into rout, and out of more than a thousand, less than a hundred returned.

They were effectively played by that Imperial Army, and the few who were lucky to survive were terrified, exalting the imperial people as invincible.

They said that the Imperial Army could detect their tracks from a great distance and no matter how they dodged or hid, they couldn’t shake off the pursuers behind them.

Jacob felt they were just making excuses for their own shameful defeat.

But as everyone who returned said the same thing, it still slightly concerned Jacob.

But what truly persuaded him to have a look was the Commander of that Imperial Army, a woman named Ireya.

Jacob had heard that she had killed the Black Dragon, captured Gabriel, and then defeated Moen in a one-on-one duel.

Two Wing Clan Warriors had died by her hand, or because of her, which made Jacob greatly intrigued by her.

Jacob actually didn’t think much of Gabriel, considering himself superior in both martial arts and strategy.

But there was no helping it since Gabriel’s White Dove Tribe was more favored by the Mother Goddess than his own Seagull Tribe, so up until Gabriel’s death, he had to follow the other’s commands.

As for Moen, he was a warrior whom Jacob profoundly respected. Moen came from the Grey Eagle Tribe, from which very powerful warriors were born,

and Moen was among the best.

But such a great warrior didn’t even have time to write his own epic legend before he died unexpectedly.

And to die in a one-on-one duel, Jacob wanted to see what kind of land species could kill Moen and whether she had three heads and six arms.

However, before he could get close to the Lady, he was distracted by those Iron Birds in the sky.
