Lieutenant General Dutch was patrolling the area. He looked like an old horseman, with aging and inelastic skin around his eyes, but he still had an energetic light in his gaze.

"It's not too late for you two to change your mind. Once we penetrate deep into the enemy lines, we will either perish as scattering ashes or claim the victory," he spoke up after seeing Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan again.

"Don't worry, the places we've been to in the past weren't peaceful either!" Mo Fan replied.

"Fine, if we can make it back to Banlo City in one piece, I'll stake you two some drinks. I've kept a few bottles of twenty-year-old Langi Shiraz in my cellar!" The Lieutenant General pulled the reins and turned the Eagle Horse toward the enemy camp.

Dutch seemed to be an alcoholic. He was carrying a wineskin at his waist. He took off the cap and emptied it, as if he knew he might not have the chance to drink it later.

The alcohol was strong. His face flushed hotly after drinking it.

"Lieutenant General, it's not wise to drink and ride. Those who ride do not drink," Mo Fan pointed out.

Dutch turned around and replied, "That mare of a mule you are riding is just like a new recruit. You can't afford to be too gentle to her. Otherwise, she will not fear you and will not obey your commands!"

Dutch threw the sack of wine at the Eagle Horse Mo Fan was riding.

The Eagle Horse failed to dodge it in time. Its head bled from the impact.

Mo Fan quickly pulled the reins to prevent the Eagle Horse from throwing him to the ground.

"It's time to head out!" Dutch flew into the sky. He was riding a Ruler-level Eagle Horse covered in blue and golden feathers. They were glowing brightly under the dim and gloomy sky!

"Charge!"

Mo Fan was struggling to estimate the number of the Eagle Horse Skyriders, but he was sure it was less than a thousand.

The Eagle Horses were several times larger than ordinary horses. The higher-quality ones were around four times the size. They were as majestic as horses and as ferocious as eagles!

The Eagle Horse Skyriders' numbers might be a lot less than the ground army, but the sight of the Eagle Horses rising into the sky in formation was more awe-striking than a regiment of ten thousand soldiers.

The gray-blue Eagle Horses sprinted into the sky and spread their wings in the heavy rain. The ground army was as tiny as petty insects below.

The Eagle Horses beat their wings steadily, at the same pace as the movement of their hooves.

Mo Fan's Eagle Horse behaved a lot better after it was hit in the head. The Lieutenant General was indeed experienced, knowing that it was unwise to treat these stubborn creatures too kindly!

Mo Fan followed the Eagle Horse Skyriders. The Venomous Insect Shamans were unable to use the same tricks they were abusing the ground army with on the riders in the sky. The Eagle Horse Skyriders soon bypassed the defense line set up by the Venomous Insect Shamans.

The area ahead was still covered densely in plants, with the trees around two hundred meters tall. Their umbrella-shaped canopy was spectacular!

The Horse Eagle Skyriders had won a battle not long ago. They had beaten the enemy's air force, so there was no resistance as they were flying into the enemy's camp.

"Over there!" Zhao Manyan pointed at a huge hole in the clouds.

Mo Fan looked in that direction and saw the strange vortex the water of the Scorching River was being drawn into before spiraling up into the sky on the east side of the Andes Mountain Range in an odd manner.

The reverse waterfall was the source of the never-ending rain. Wu Ku had mixed the Frenzy Liquid with the water to influence people's minds.

The Andes Federation was politically unstable, and many people had been forced to abandon their homes. The new government did not have time to care about the people, as it was busy with other matters.

There was an obvious conflict between the people and the government, which no one had bothered to resolve.

The people's grudges grew gradually as time passed, and the slightest provocation had been enough for the people to revolt against the government.

Salan did not have a huge army or overwhelming cultivation, but she was familiar with human nature. She just needed to stir up the people's emotions to get them to start fighting among themselves!

Mo Fan realized that civil war was inevitable, even if the Black Vatican had not been involved, but since he had already made up his mind to send every member of the Black Vatican to Hell, he was not going to stop just because of a little war!

Mo Fan had his war to fight, just like Lieutenant General Dutch and his Eagle Horse Skyriders, who were willing to die for the sake of their country.

Whether it was for the sake of Xinxia, Bo City, the Ancient Capital, or the revolution of the Andes Federation, he had no reason to stop until he claimed his victory. He had to keep moving forward!

"We are entering enemy territory. Look out for enemy Wind Magic and be ready to split up!" Dutch's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Mo Fan had no idea what magic device imbued with the Sound Element the lieutenant general was using, but it sounded like he was talking to them through a loudspeaker right beside them.

His loud voice was effective, overriding the continuous magic blasts which were causing some fear among the soldiers. His motivating voice completely drove away the anxiety in the soldiers' hearts.

Huge Wind Discs that resembled blurry dragons swept at the Horse Eagle Skyriders traveling between the sky and the forest.

The Eagle Horse Skyriders immediately split up and avoided the Wind Discs, like a stream flowing through the gap between rocks.

The huge Wind Discs might have been effective against slower mounts, but the agile Eagle Horses had no trouble dodging them. Every Eagle Horse Rider managed to avoid the Wind Magic safely.

The Eagle Horse Skyriders swiftly regrouped into their formation after dodging the Wind Discs as they charged into the enemy's lines.

A few more Wind Discs appeared, trying to stop the Eagle Horse Skyriders, but the aerial forces were able to dodge them all adeptly.

"The Eagle Horse Skyriders are indeed the Federation Army's ace," Zhao Manyan acknowledged.

Zhao Manyan's confidence grew after he saw the Eagle Horse Skyriders' capabilities. Previously, the Brown Rebels had constantly had the upper hand over the Federation Army, but it was only because he was always among the weaker troops.

The elite soldiers of the Federation Army were unstoppable!

The Wind Discs were coming from the enemy's watchtowers. The Brown Rebels had constructed many watchtowers in the woods to stop the Federation Army's advance, but they were unable to stop the Eagle Horse Skyriders.

The Eagle Horse Skyriders swept past the watchtowers swiftly. The enemy's main camp was soon in view.

The Scorching River was right behind the enemy's main camp.. The Brown Rebels had set up their camps along the Scorching River, surrounding the woods in an irregular semicircle. The Federation's ground army would have to pay a huge price to break through the Brown Rebels' defenses!
