Traveling day and night under the stars and the moon!
Seven days and nights passed, with the sun rising and setting.
Crossing mountains and rivers, deep valleys and secluded forests, Jiang You finally led the tribal warriors to the Hanlin Forest.
This was an extremely vast and boundless forest, like an endless green ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see.
A large river meandered through the forest, flowing into the distance.
Here was the border of the territory ruled by the Thunder Titan Aryan and the domain of the Ancient Blue Dragon King, Alator.
For thousands of years, they had been fighting, and neither side could gain the upper hand.
Now, the Hanlin Forest was like a huge military camp, and all the races in the Felan Era could be found here.
Jiang You saw humans patrolling in the forest, hawkmen circling in the sky, trolls camping in the jungle, dwarves riding sheep in the valleys, elves chopping down trees, mermen inhabiting the large river, fishmen holding stone forks, mixed - blood giants serving as supervisors, fairies and tree spirits looking up in the treetops, and wild boarmen lying on the ground... and so on.
These were the subordinate races of the Titans. Since the era of the Titans, they had ruled half of the races in the world.
The Ancient Dragons were no less powerful than the Titans.
Jiang You flew from the far north of the Hanlin Forest and saw a stone throne more than a hundred meters high in the north of the forest.
It seemed to be carved out of an entire mountain.
A giant nearly a hundred meters tall sat on it. His purple - gold eyes and his entire body exuded a magnificent aura that made people tremble.
The majestic presence was like that of a god, and the huge oppressive force made Jiang You gasp in amazement!
From time to time, there were faint purple lightning flashes lingering around his strong body, like the abyss of hell!
"That is the Titan who wields the power of thunder, Aryan!"
According to the history of the fifth chapter, Titans were legendary. When they reached adulthood, they could reach the demigod realm.
And the great Titan King, even without a divine throne, possessed a power comparable to that of a god!
This was the Titans, the nemesis of half of the ancient Felan Era!
Feeling the majestic aura of the Titan, Jiang You became extremely cautious. He buried the pride he had brought from his transmigration deep in his heart.
He was still an ordinary person, not even extraordinary. In this era full of extraordinary powers and where death could come at any moment, he could only be extremely careful.
After flying over the airspace of the Hanlin Forest, the patrolling hawkmen and gryphons in the air did not stop them, allowing them to land in the hawkmen's camp.
As soon as they landed, soldiers from the Hawkman Royal Court came to them.
This was an adult hawkman, wearing a wolf - skin coat. Although he did not have an extraordinary aura, he had the air of a veteran of a hundred battles.
He asked indifferently.
"Which tribe are you from, and who is your leader?"
Jiang You stood up and replied.
"Sir of the Royal Court, I am the leader. We are from the Barbarian Region tribe."
The adult hawkman soldier just nodded indifferently, apparently having never heard of the Barbarian Region tribe.
He saw the bronze weapons and armor that Jiang You and his group carried and didn't pay much attention.
What value could a small tribal hawkman, including even female hawkmen, have?
"Follow me. You will be under the command of the Winged General."
The adult hawkman soldier led them through half of the camp and came to a large, dirty and messy camp.
All the trees here had been cut down, leaving only an empty piece of land with grass.
Jiang You glanced around and roughly estimated that there were about a thousand hawkman soldiers stationed here. The gray - black wings were intertwined and dotted on the ground, like a large gray - black net.
The adult hawkman pointed to a corner.
"You will stay here for now."
After saying that, he was about to turn and leave.
Anyway, they were all cannon fodder in the war, and he had no desire to talk to them.
Jiang You quickly stopped him and asked sincerely.
"Sir, I haven't asked your name yet. Also, I don't know where General Winged's camp is. Where should we receive the general's orders?"
This place was so chaotic that the hawkmen were gathered together in a mess, and he didn't know how to command them uniformly. Jiang You thought it would be better to find out clearly.
Hearing this, the adult hawkman soldier looked at him in surprise, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He replied.
"What qualifications do you have to receive General Winged's orders? When the time comes, someone will come to inform you."
Saying that, he pointed to another hawkman camp not far away.
A hawkman soldier of the Royal Court flew into the air with a bone spear in his hand and shouted at the four hawkman tribes below.
"You, you, you, and you, bring your clansmen and follow me!"
The summoned hawkmen dared not resist at all. They gathered their clansmen and followed him.
Some of them had three people, some had only two. The eyes of every hawkman contained numbness.
Obviously, they were not the first to be conscripted like this.
Each small tribe here had fifty people. The rest had probably died long ago.
Jiang You saw this and his eyes became gloomy.
"I understand, sir."
"Well, understand and that's it. If you have any questions, I don't think I need to answer them. You small tribes under the protection of the Royal Court, just obey the orders. By the way, after the war is over, you can still go back."
"As for my name, you don't need to know."
The adult hawkman's tone was indifferent. He pointed to the edge of another forest.
"Look, don't think about escaping. You see there, that is the end of those who escape!"
Jiang You looked over and saw a row of hawkman corpses densely inserted there. They were pierced through the mouth with wooden sticks and erected on the ground, dripping with blood.
He couldn't help but be silent, while the adult hawkman laughed loudly.
"Kids, don't be smart. You hawkmen here are nothing more than ants and grass. The Royal Court allows you to live, and you can live. If it wants you to die, you will die. Just accept your fate."
After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew away, going to greet another tribe.
Jiang You was left standing on the ground, clenching his claws tightly, with a deep look in his eyes.
"This kind of Royal Court, what future can the hawkmen have? No wonder in the future, they will become the weakest magic - using race. I will definitely overthrow it sooner or later!"
Beside him, the hawkman soldiers of his age also showed anger, but they all endured and did not say anything.
When that adult hawkman left, all the hawkmen gathered around and asked.
"You, what should we do now?"
Jiang You looked at the hawkman reconnaissance team flying in the air and said.
"They will call them. We will do our own thing. Lai, bring me the bone spear we imitated before. Let's go patrol."
A hawkman soldier took a carefully wrapped object and handed it to Jiang You.
Jiang You opened the wrapping and took the bone spear. He said to the hawkmen.
"From now on, I am a soldier of the Royal Court. If I go to scout, you all follow me!"
"Okay!"
He wanted to find the turtle. Even if the Hawkman Royal Court didn't give orders, he was willing to go scouting.
However, the route of this scouting was also carefully calculated by him.
Whether he could find it or not, that was another matter.
Anyway, he had to take risks to awaken the extraordinary.
