Chapter 851: That Man is Absent
Motra led the large army and arrived at the Time Cave.
Although this place is called the Time Cave, it is actually an oasis. It should be called the Time Oasis, which is more appropriate. Its just that there is a huge cave here, and inside the cave is very large, leading directly to two other exits. One of the exits even leads into the Jinghong Mountains. This cave is called the Time Cave, so even the oasis was renamed the Time Cave.
There is also a rebel army entrenched in this oasis. Not long ago, this rebel army came out and took control of several nearby small oases. However, when they heard that Motras large army was coming, they retreated into the oasis, fortified the city, and no longer caused trouble.
Motra looked from a distance and saw a few flags sparsely placed on the yellow soil walls of the city. The soldiers of the rebel army stood listlessly under the flags, looking at Motras army with numb eyes.
Motra did not attack the city immediately but took out a sound-amplifying magical tool and shouted loudly towards the city, Listen, people inside the city! The Black Dragon attacked the Oasis Capital, causing chaos in my Desert Kingdom. This is a national crisis, and yet you are busy with internal strife. This is very wrong. Now I advise you to immediately lay down your weapons, stop fighting, and peacefully choose a new pharaoh to lead us forward.
Stop talking nonsense! a head emerged from the top of the city wall, and it was the leader of this rebel army. He shouted, Motra, you are just a dog, a puppet of the Kingdom of Gran. What justice are you pretending to uphold here?
If you unify the Desert Kingdom, it will only become a vassal of the Kingdom of Gran, humiliating our nation. You will be remembered as a historical criminal.
Nonsense! Motra said, You seem to have misunderstood. When have I become a puppet of the Kingdom of Gran? Im just following the Godfather of Westwind City.
Whats the difference? Its still humiliating our nation! the rebel leader roared, We are fighting among ourselves behind closed doors. Whether we win or lose is an internal matter of the Desert Kingdom. You are bringing in foreign enemies, utterly shameless.
Motra laughed, The Queen of the Kingdom of Gran also listens to the Godfather, right? There is no problem with the future pharaoh of my Desert Kingdom listening to the Godfather. Moreover, the kings of the Kingdom of Norma, Big Tang, and all those chaotic little kingdoms will also listen to the Godfather. The whole world will be the same.
So, its not humiliation; its just going along with the tide of history.
Fuck, the rebel leader roared, Theres nothing to say to shameless people like you.
Motra said, If theres nothing to say, then lets fight. You wont be able to defeat me anyway.
The rebel leader said, I know I cant defeat you, but I wont go down without a fight. Just wait and see.
Motra didnt think that they would come up with anything impressive. However, this time Motra was proven wrong. Suddenly, another familys flag was raised in the seemingly defenseless small city. It was the flag of the rebel force that had been occupying the Tomb of Kings. Then, a large number of soldiers emerged from the city walls.
Motra said, Huh? The remaining two rebel forces have merged?
Elsie whispered beside him, They know they are outnumbered and are joining forces. Its not surprising.
Hmm! Motra felt confident, We have the combined forces of four families on our side, plus 800 soldiers from Westwind City. Their merge is nothing impressive to us.
Elsie cautioned, Be careful. Havent there been rumors that the rebel force at the Tomb of the Kings is supported by the Kingdom of Norma? If this rebel force is here, the troops from the Kingdom of Norma might show up as well.
Just as they were discussing this, behind the city wall on the opposite side, two Norma people were whispering to each other. One was a confidant of the Heroic King, and the other was a confidant of the Light Pope.
One person whispered, Have you found that man?
The other person replied, I carefully searched using detection techniques, but hes not in their ranks. It seems he went to do something else.
Phew, thats good! The combined forces weve contacted havent been able to gather yet. If that guy were here, we wouldnt stand a chance. We would have to escape.
But hes not here, hehe. It seems the soldiers from Westwind City think their own fighting power is strong enough, and they can win without that man, hehehe.
Hehehe!
Although the Demons large army hasnt come, they have sent a vanguard. With that, we should be able to drive this force back. Lets prepare and summon that thing.
Having made their plans, the two quietly retreated behind the city wall.
Not long after, the battle began.
The Westwind soldiers remained still, holding the rear position. The main force of this battle consisted of three surrendered rebel leaders. However, as soon as the fighting started, Motra noticed that the enemys equipment level was exceptionally high, especially the rebel force that came from the Tomb of Kings. Each soldier wore finely crafted armor and wielded high-quality weapons.
It was clear that they had received covert support from the Kingdom of Norma. Otherwise, with the Desert Kingdoms weak economic strength, they wouldnt be able to sustain such an army.
The three rebel forces immediately felt overwhelmed in the battle and were pushed back.
The equipment and morale of these rebel forces were too weak to withstand the challenge posed by the enemys main force.
Motra smiled at Elsie and said, It seems that the Westwind soldiers still need to intervene here.
Elsie nodded and led the Westwind soldiers to press forward.
The strength of this army was renowned throughout the desert. As they advanced, both enemy forces were somewhat terrified. Even though their numbers were many times greater than the Westwind soldiers, they trembled at the sight of this army from Westwind City and dared not come forward to confront them.
Just then, the ground suddenly trembled.
In the distance, a massive sand dune was swiftly moving towards the space between the two armies. It seemed like something was burrowing through the sand. However, generally, burrowing creatures are not too large. But this sand dune before their eyes was exceptionally enormous, clearly indicating that this creature was of substantial size.
Elsie reacted swiftly and shouted, Everyone, fall back!
The Westwind soldiers immediately retreated. The large sand dune quickly arrived and burst open with a loud boom. The first thing that emerged from the ground were two enormous pincers, followed by a massive body with a hooked tail.
It was a gigantic scorpion!
It was as big as a building.
