Chapter 1030: The Desert in the Sky (Part One)
-In the central general tent of Zenit that was briefly set up-
All forces were able to react fast and gather because of Second Prince Dominguez. It was clear that he was the head commander.
At this moment, Prince Dominguez and other military officers locked their eyes onto one person.
"Advisor Aryang! Can we only endure and bear it? These d.a.m.n Barcelonans are cold-blooded demons. Only less than two days pa.s.sed by, but they raised their weapons and even killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians…."
Red blood vessels popped in Dominguez"s eyes, and he was so angry that his handsome face even looked a little wicked.
Under everyone"s stare, Old Aryang of Chambord frowned and thought about the situation for good.
About a year ago when Zenit was invaded by the alliance of ten empires, Old Aryang was instructed to help out Second Prince with the warriors of Chambord, and it was a success. It was clear that Dominguez was talented, and his capabilities won over many people. With today"s ambush and strategic retreat, more and more people believed him and trusted him. In a sense, Dominguez"s words and actions would dictate the fate of the crew.
After thinking for a bit, Aryang said with a sad expression, "Barcelona is after all a level 9 empire, and they have more masters and better equipment. If we fight them head-on, we will lose for sure. Of course, it isn"t to say that they have no weaknesses. If we can create a battle that is on the scale of 500,000 people in three days, I"m confident that I can wipe out all Barcelonans who stepped into the territory of Zenit. Of course, I need help from Hazel Bank and others."
After Old Aryang said that, most of the people in the tent got it.
Not a sufficient number of soldiers.
The Second Prince could only move the [Southern Region Battle Legion] and the [Blizzard Legion]. With these two main battle legions, private soldiers of the n.o.bles, and the new recruits, there were about 100,000 of them in the beginning. Although Zenit had been recruiting soldiers on a ma.s.sive scale, most of the control was still in Arshavin"s hand. Even if Dominguez wanted to, he can"t get 500,000 soldiers.
Barcelonan soldiers had the best equipment. If Zenit couldn"t use human-sea attacks and fight enemies head-on with a numbers advantage, facing Barcelonans was likely to result in getting smashed even if these two main battle legions were involved.
It seemed like the Zenitians could only hara.s.s to slow down Pedro"s soldiers" speed. Then, they sent out warning letters, waiting for the Imperial Military Headquarters and Emperor Ya.s.sin to respond.
Zenit had faced many rivals before, but they were now facing the Barcelona Empire, a level 9 empire on the continent.
This force was so huge that Leon seemed like nothing when compared to it.
The situation was intense.
Some people placed hope in Imperial Martial Saint, King Alexander of Chambord, but only a few people like Old Aryang knew that the king wasn"t home. He left about 20 days ago to visit the behemoth orcs.
"I hope that His Majesty will rush back in time," Old Aryang prayed in his mind.
Although he was a famous general and was extremely confident, Old Aryang somehow developed a slight reliance on the king. It felt as if as long as the king was present, he would calm down a bit more.

Chapter 1030: The Desert in the Sky (Part Two)
-Banished Land, City of Behemoth-
Fei"s curiosity was quickly satisfied.
Before Great Priest Nash could bring Fei and others back to their hotel, the beauty of Swan Clan who played tennis with Entus earlier rushed over and said something to Nash. Then, the group turned back around and returned to the square where the Beast G.o.d Palace was located.
At this moment, more than 1,000 orc warriors and masters had gathered here.
The nightly wind blew in the darkness, and the square was engulfed by a solemn and murderous spirit.
Seeing Fei and others" arrival, Entus didn"t have the chance to explain everything to them. Some people instantly took flying beasts to them and carried them away.
In the dark night, thousands of people flew into the air and dashed toward the depths of [Banished Land].
"Something happened to the Metal Desert and the Vicious Swamp. The fierce beasts might have been rioting. Perhaps it is something that existence had planned earlier. You should go and check it out."
On the way, Entus was really busy. He continued to try to come up with solutions.
Fei pondered to himself.
The flying beasts of the orcs were dashing and extremely fast. They could cover about several hundred kilometers in a flash.
After flying for about seven hours, there were no more trails of orc activities. It was a huge desert, and no one could survive in it. Not much further away on the horizon, there was a giant bright red wall that soared into the sky. Like a fence, this red wall blocked off the rest of the world.
"We are almost there! Be careful!"
Those who were at the front shouted, and the flying speed of the team drastically reduced.
This group of people stopped about ten kilometers away from the giant red wall.
At this moment, Fei had a good look and realized that it was not a red wall. They were just sand grains that were pulled into the sky by the tornadoes.
The sand grains should contain metal particles, and they turned red after being in the sun for too long and oxidizing. As the wind blew by, the sand tumbled and rolled in the air like boiling blood. What was stranger? The tornadoes that were carrying these sand grains were spinning at the same spot. About ten kilometers away, there seemed to be an invisible energy that stopped the tornadoes from pushing forward.
The red sand grains and the roars of the tornadoes emitted violent and destructive auras, making the flying beasts of the orcs whine and back off.
"Let"s continue on foot," Pope Entus sighed and ordered about a dozen of his followers to retreat with everyone"s mount, and he took everyone else toward the desert that was tumbling in the sky.
"This is the [Metal Desert]," Great Priest Nash explained, "Many powerful and fierce ancient beasts live in it, and the orcs call them fierce beasts. They don"t have any intelligence, and their nature is murderous and aggressive. Behemoth orcs placed many soldiers and watchtowers around the [Metal Desert], and Pope His Holiness set up many totem arrays around it to distract the fierce beasts, preventing them from charging out of the desert and hurting behemoth orcs."
At this moment, Fei finally got the chance to ask, "Then, why did we come here? What are we up to? Did something special happen?"
