In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 929 Divine Bird

The following day, a massive offensive began.

Yang Zheng, stationed at the central command, personally directed the army to launch an attack on the capital.

Of course, the ground attack was just a feint to attract the attention of the defenders; the real attack was from the air!

On top of the city.

Song Yijin, a laborer who was forcibly conscripted, is boiling broth with his companions.

Golden juice can be considered a true biological weapon on the ancient battlefield. Its raw materials are feces and urine, which, after being boiled, become a real weapon for defending the city.

It can not only burn enemies attempting to climb the city walls with high temperatures, but also cause fatal bacterial infections.

In short, gold juice is a cheap yet effective "weapon" for defending a city.

At this moment, Song Yijin and the other conscripted laborers were working together to boil the broth. A foul stench wafted from the pot, causing many of the laborers present to frown and cover their noses.

"It stinks like hell!"

Feeling a burning sensation in his eyes, Song Yijin subconsciously raised his head to avoid the pungent, irritating smell. Just as he raised his head, two enormous figures appeared in his line of sight.

"what is that?"

Song Yijin stared blankly at the two figures in the sky that seemed to blot out the sun.

He had seen birds before, but he had never seen one so huge, a bird that seemed to blot out the entire sky.

"Is that a bird?"

Why would there be such a huge bird?

"The sky is all dark, why is this bird so huge?"

"..."

Many soldiers on the city wall also noticed the two giant birds in the sky, and their faces showed astonishment.

They had seen birds before, but they had never heard of a bird so huge, as if it could block out the sun!

Cui Wu, who was directing the battle from the city wall, also noticed the two giant birds in the sky. His brows furrowed involuntarily, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The next moment, Cui Wu's premonition was confirmed!

But then he saw the two giant birds soaring high in the sky grow larger and larger in his pupils.

"not good!"

Cui Wu's expression changed drastically. He immediately realized that the two giant birds were landing on the city wall. With his extremely rich combat experience, he roared, "Archers, fire arrows into the air!"

Cui Wu's roar snapped the soldiers on the city wall, who had been distracted by the giant bird, back to their senses. They raised their bows and arrows and fired a barrage of arrows into the air.

However, the two giant birds in the air merely flapped their wings, and the powerful airflow caused the arrows shot into the air to lose their power and fall downwards.

Meanwhile, the two spirit-feathered chickens in the air seemed to be enraged as they glided down toward the city wall, opening their beaks as they did so.

The next second, it seemed as if three suns appeared in the sky. The largest sun was still hanging high in the sky, while the two smaller suns were falling towards the top of the city wall!

"No! Get out of the way!"

The sun has set!

"Run away!"

"..."

The soldiers on the city wall didn't know what was falling from the sky, nor why the two giant birds could control fire. The only thing they knew was...

If you are hit by a fireball, you will surely die!

So the soldiers scattered and fled, fearing they would be hit by the fireballs.

"boom!"

Two fireballs crashed to the ground, exploding in flames. Soldiers within the flames were burned to ashes along with their armor before they could even scream. The bricks and stones on the ground instantly turned into a black liquid.

The soldiers nearby were all horrified as they stared at the still-steaming black liquid.

"What kind of flame is this? How can it be so terrifying!"

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would be nothing but bones by now!"

"Even the floor tiles were burned to a crisp, it's terrifying!"

"What kind of bird is this? Could it be a legendary divine bird?"

"..."

Just as the soldiers and generals on the city wall were filled with doubt and uncertainty, two spirit-feathered chickens slowly landed on the ground that had been cleared by the two fireballs. Immediately afterwards, a series of burly figures leaped off the backs of the spirit-feathered chickens.

"Oh no! It's the Yang family army!"

Upon seeing these figures, Cui Wu immediately understood the Yang family army's intentions and roared, "Kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vast number of defending troops on the city wall immediately surrounded and attacked the elite troops of the Yang family army.

"Thank you for your help, divine bird. Leave the rest to us!"

The 100 elite soldiers of the Yang family army thanked the two spirit-feathered chickens and gripped their blades, ready to face the enemy.

As the vanguard, they knew their chances of survival were slim, but they were not afraid. They firmly believed that their sacrifice would help the King of Liang conquer the capital, end the chaos, and allow all the people of the world to live a happy and peaceful life.

They also believed that the King of Liang would not forget their sacrifice and would take good care of their families, and that was enough!

However, just as they were preparing to face the overwhelming enemy with the determination to die, the two spirit-feathered chickens let out joyful crows.

"Giggle!"

The use of the divine bird name by these elite soldiers of the Yang family army seemed to please the two spirit-feathered chickens, who flapped their huge wings while making cheerful calls!

"Hoohoo!"

In an instant, it seemed as if a gale of force 18 had swept up the city walls, and the defending troops who were attacking the elite Yang family army were all blown about, some even being blown into the sky and falling out of the city...

The city wall was 30 meters above the ground, so any soldier who fell from it would have no chance of survival.

The Spirit Feather Chicken, which possesses the ability to control the wind, caused the deaths of over a hundred defenders simply by flapping its wings, while also slowing down the defenders' offensive.

Many of the defenders who had barely managed to steady themselves stared in horror at the two giant birds that were as big as mountains.

The sheer power of these two giant birds—creating such a terrifying gale with just the flapping of their wings, causing the loss of hundreds of soldiers—truly overturned their worldview.

Why is this giant bird so strange?

"It can breathe fire and ride the wind; could this giant bird be a legendary divine bird?"

Why would the divine bird help the bandit army?

"..."

The behavior of the Spirit Feathered Chicken made the already superstitious soldiers involuntarily think of the mythical bird in the legends, and it also made them waver a little...

The imperial court is clearly the legitimate authority, so why is the divine bird helping the rebel army?

Could it be...

Is the Yang family army truly destined for greatness?

"Thank you, divine bird!"

The elite soldiers of the Yang family army, who had received help from the Spirit Feather Chicken, thanked the chicken profusely. Having spent some time with the two divine birds, they knew that the birds could understand them.

"Giggle!"

The two spirit-feathered chickens nodded to the crowd in a very human-like manner, then flapped their wings and flew back into the sky!

They need to return to the military camps outside the city to transport more troops; they cannot linger on the city walls.
