Helen nodded seriously.
"Why are we comparing ourselves to human mages? It’s not as if we shamans were born to oppose mages~ We came to the Beamon Kingdom to spread the blessings of the war gods!" Liu Zhenhan shook his head, using the words his mentor Helen once taught him to question their ancestors.
"Tell Richard this piece of bad news!" The beautiful snake guide said seriously: "A war between humans and Beamon has broken out on the Northwest Line! The confrontation between the shamans and human mages is imminent."
"The Northwest Line?" Liu Zhenhan and Helen exclaimed in unison.
The Northwestern border is near the royal city Sabak, a boundless expanse of the Taklamago Desert. At the Desert Oasis, Beamon’s outpost is stationed with a joint team of Ostrite Tribe’s ostrich warriors and horse warriors. They face several small human kingdoms living in the desert. These human kingdoms occasionally send camel-riding, scimitar-wielding marauders for raids.
But the desert oasis is close to the royal city, where the Beamon Imperial Guard "Whip of War" is stationed. Have the desert kingdoms lost their minds and initiated the war directly?
"Frictions between our Beamon Kingdom and the desert kingdoms have always existed, but this time the desert marauders have become even more audacious! They actually sent a crack team to infiltrate our national boundary by sea route and kidnapped our princess. Therefore, the kingdom has initiated a war against them! The Ostrite Tribe’s ostrich warriors and the Horse Tribe’s warriors have already deeply entered the desert to give chase! The kingdom has called up a large number of regular troops to teach the desert kingdoms a lesson!" Cui Beixi figured out their doubts.
This has nothing to do with me. Liu Zhenhan laughed coldly again and again.
This isn’t the first time the desert kingdoms have done such a thing. Last time was Helen and Maple Leaf Village, and this time it’s the princess’s turn. The kingdom’s treatment of both has been too different, hasn’t it? The more Liu Zhenhan thought about it, the angrier he got.
"Teacher! I want to apply to the front line!" Helen’s face also didn’t look very good.
"This is the first large-scale battle in Beamon in nearly a hundred years, and there isn’t a need for fledgling war shamans to go to the battlefield. The private soldiers of various nobles have only been moved up to the rank of Marquis, and it hasn’t even been your turn to enter the battlefield yet." Cui Beixi sighed: "No matter how I pleaded for you in the temple this time, the Kingdom’s Temple still arranged for two Guardian Knights for you, decided to be one male and one female. One of them is Prince Richard."
"Prince? Haha... Where’s our dear Highness?" Liu Zhenhan laughed on the surface, but a fire was rolling in his heart.
"He was supposed to have arrived at this time yesterday, but he was recalled halfway." The beautiful snake guide said: "It’s hard to judge the scale of this war at present, given the deep operations in the desert, the temple must organize excellent Temple Knights to guard the participating shaman team."

"This idiot." Liu Zhenhan laughed again. If the prince had planned to come last night, wouldn’t he just rescue the weak and in danger heroically, driving away the Bear Goblins and showing off his might?
The prince was craftier than anyone else.
"The other female Holy Temple Knight prepared by the Temple for Helen is this Knight Gortani. As for the vacancy of the other guardian knight, at my recommendation, it has been taken over by my old subordinate, Vieri of the Pier bear knight. Vieri is currently rushing to Witherspoon from the southern border to handle the procedures and fetch Misha’s mount. She will probably be a few days late." The beautiful snake guide drew the attention of Liu Zhenhan and Helen to a silent female knight beside her.
"This is Gortani, a silver knight from Smey’s tribe, the only female Holy Temple Knight in all the temples of the Beamon Kingdom, and the beloved daughter of my teacher, Lord Mourinho. Due to various considerations, the Temple of Sabak has decided to temporarily assign the only female Holy Temple Knight in the kingdom as Helen’s guardian knight." The beautiful snake guide smiled and nodded at the cold-faced female knight beside her, introducing her to everyone present.
Gortani gracefully removed her helmet, liberating a waterfall of rare platinum blonde hair that cascaded freely over her shoulders.
Sudden gasps and exclamations filled the air.
It was not the girl’s stunning beauty that shocked everyone. General Pan, in Gude’s words, had seen powerful beauties in his lifetime, making him somewhat immune to such charm.
What truly surprised everyone was the noble identity of the female knight–– A Swan from the Smey clan.
A thousand years ago, during the Heigar War that decided whether Beamon or humans ruled the continent, there was a brutal aerial battle in Tennessee. All the capable wings of the bird tribes were wiped out by the joint attack of powerful human Dragon Knights, Gryphon Cavalry, and the bat-people of the Valenbuer who unfortunately betrayed them at the last moment.
As the only remnants of the Air Force from that battle, the proud Smey Swan Clan and the Ostrite Ostrich Warriors held up the last sky glory of the Bird clan.
The noble Swan Clan is universally recognized as the most elegant among the five noble clans. Even humans, who always regarded the Beamon as barbarians, had to admit that the Smey Clan possessed a natural nobility. Their elegance and grace were inborn.
In the Heigar War, the Ostrite Ostrich Warriors, due to their bulky body and defiance of aerodynamics, had already lost their ability to fly, thus joining the infantry and escaping the fate of fighting the unbeatable Dragon Knights in the sky.
The Smey Swan, being the Overlord of the Beamon Clan, had long lost their ability to fly. They were the most intelligent Beamon, chosen by the war god Kampas. Among the sacrifices of the Sacred Altar, the Smey Clan sacrifices were the only ones that could compete with the wise avatar, the Fawkes sacrifices, both in number and quality. The impartial war god deprived them of their ability to soar in the blue sky, granting them a unique ability that other Beamon sacrifices could not learn —— the Forbidden Sky Song of the Smey.
The magical Forbidden Sky Song could generate a binding force in the air, causing any birds dependent on the air for flight to suddenly plummet from the sky and die, causing air disasters.
In the Heigar War, facing the powerful air force of humanity, the smey swan sacrifices of the Beamon kingdom, despite their scarcity, bravely faced the battle. Despite the human air force’s overwhelming advantage in the battle of the Tennessee sky, the Forbidden Sky Song of the Smey still exerted unimaginable power.
When the clear and resounding Forbidden Sky Song filled the sky above the Tennessee battlefield, the flightless Swan Sacrifices became the protagonists on the battlefield. If not for the too powerful human dragon knights, and the fact that the Forbidden Sky Song couldn’t bind the giant dragons, the battle might have turned out differently.
As the years passed, the once invincible dragon knights of the Tennessee sky war, due to the rampant greed and selfishness of humanity, lost their honesty and perseverance. The proud dragons no longer wished to lower their proud heads and sign any contracts with humans. Across the Pan Continent, only a few countries currently possess one or two Dragon Knights. The spectacular sight of ten Dragon Knights appearing together in the sky battle of Tennessee has long been lost.
The Gryphon Knights, who served the Dragon Knights, have lost their methods of breeding and taming due to continual warfare. The former masters of the sky can now only occasionally be seen as mounts for the knights of certain religious sects.
The Swan Sacrifices of the Smey Clan, have held their noble heads high throughout the years, directly facing the vicissitudes of history. Their inherent pride comes from their ancient family heritage, and from their spirit of facing the mightiest creature on the continent, the Dragon, without fear, despite the gap in power.
Even though their beautiful wings have evolved into mere adornments, the Swan Tribe has never given up on their dream of the blue sky. Their gaze always belongs to the azure sky – and their hearts are as expansive as the sky itself.
