At the edge of Stormy Ridge, more than forty giant eagles were flying in a neat formation.
On the back of each giant eagle sat a knight dressed in plate armor, with the emblem of an eagle and sword on their chest.
They were the kin of the Rackham Family, the renowned Northwind Eagle Guards. This time, they dispatched an entire knight order, a total of forty-eight Eagle Guards, as scouts for the war to investigate the enemy's situation from the air.
The Rackham Family was indeed putting everything on the line for this.
This particular Northwind Eagle Guard unit was the sixth regiment, reorganized from Alger's previous remnants.
Their current commander was named Nelly, the only female commander among the six Northwind Eagle Guard regiments and a former trusted subordinate of Alger.
Nelly, dressed in thick plate armor and holding the commander's exclusive Eagle Shriek Silver Sword, had a resolute look in her clear eyes.
"We're back here again..."
"Stormy Ridge."
