With the shouts of Yacoub and others, the news about Eleanor leaving spread quickly among the Flying Eagles of Oregon.
Within ten minutes, thousands of people followed suit. All of them were old troops that followed Jade in the fights at the ancient boundary. They had an immensely strong bond with Jade and Eleanor. Hence they were genuinely disappointed with the current Flying Eagles.
“Let’s leave. I’m leaving too!”
“It’s time to quit. I’ve been here for thirteen years. I’ve fought more than three hundred wars, and I’ve nearly died thirty-six times. It’s time to plan for the rest of my life.”
“Yeah. It’s not worth fighting for the Flying Eagles now.”
“The spirit of the Flying Eagles has been lost.”
One by one, identity tokens were dropped to the ground and stepped on. If it was before, these tokens were like precious treasures to the troops of Flying Eagles. They weren’t merely tokens but symbols of pride to be part of this squad.
By the time Eleanor left, up to ten thousand people had gathered behind her. All of them threw away their tokens and quit with her.

Soon, the higher-ups of the Flying Eagles had heard the news. Even the officials knew about this.
At a critical time where the demon tribe was on the verge of attacking, a departure of such gargantuan scale came as heavy news to many.
Darnic himself couldn’t believe what was happening. He couldn’t understand why just the resignation of a military counselor would cause such a result. Not to mention, the withdrawal of members was still ongoing. More and more members were leaving the Flying Eagles. Even members of the Flying Eagles at the ancient boundary were quitting and returned to America as soon as they heard the news.
Things had become way too serious. Darnic was now shaking in fear. He didn’t know what would happen next.
A few minutes later, one of Darnic’s subordinates told favonovel.com that favonovel.com was to call for a Grand Conference immediately. The Grand Conference had only taken place before this after the chief was pressured by the families.
However, this time, the chief called for the conference himself.
As the conference began, the chief immediately expressed his fury. Such a grave issue had to be solved no matter what. Unfortunately, the key to the solution was Jade.
“Where’s Jade?”
“Where has Jade gone? Find Jade for me immediately!”
“And you, Darnic! As the commander of the Flying Eagles, why do you always hide at the back? If you’re so afraid of death, why are you still the commander? It’s now time to be a role model for the Flying Eagles! I order you to go to the frontline immediately and stop the demon tribe! Even if you are the only soldier left, you have to guard the ancient boundary, do you understand?!”
Hearing this, Darnic’s heart shuddered. He could even feel his legs go weak.
That afternoon, Darnic led a troop of Flying Eagles warriors and rushed to the frontline of the ancient boundary. At that time, the leopard demon had led a hundred thousand demon soldiers to their city wall. The city wall was built much like a moat. It was easy to defend but hard to attack.
Seeing this, Darnic was about to order his troops to repair the walls. That was when the leopard demon ordered an attack
He decided to attack because favonovel.com could sense… That his wife had just died.
“Attack!”
