When the Great General asked, Meng Yi embellished the story as he recounted:
How he diligently patrolled, and how he came upon the ruddy men failing to appear at The Dawn, and how he brilliantly deduced from the merest clues that something was amiss in Death Valley and led two hundred of his Elite Troop to their aid.
Little did they know, the Man-eating Eagles were too formidable, and not even the seven hundred from Death Valley combined with his two hundred elites could withstand them.
"At the critical moment, the ruddy men lost their fighting spirit, and I promised them one Military Merit for each Man-eating Eagle, which reignited their will to fight," he said.
"However, I also knew the gravity of the situation and the need to inform His Majesty and the General, thus I exerted tremendous efforts to escape the encirclement of the Man-eating Eagles."
