Hearing this, the sheriff smiled helplessly:
"Most wizards have gone to New Garo to develop. Who would stay in the desert? Under the emperor's rule, our town has rarely been invaded by large-scale alien forces, and public security is only managed by us police officers."
It sounds really not easy... Xing Mo nodded and said:
"I can't stay here for long. Those monsters can't just attack once. Are you sure?"
"We're confident. No need to trouble you," the sheriff nodded. "This attack was sudden, and we didn't have time to prepare. We'll set up our lines and hold out until reinforcements arrive from the garden."
"Good job." Xingmo gave a thumbs up.
She had to admit, she had thought the other party would shamelessly ask her to stay and help guard the place together. After all, most of the golden people Xingmo met in New Galo were not very polite.
I didn’t expect that people in the desert are so self-reliant.
"I'm going to trace the source of those filthy people," Xingmo said, "I might need some supplies. Would it be convenient for you to give them to me?"
"Of course, just give us the list," the sheriff said readily. "We'll definitely support anything we can provide."
He did not inquire about Xingmo's identity, nor did he try to make things difficult for her. He even readily provided resources to his benefactor when the town was facing a possible siege.
Xingmo was moved by the sheriff's straightforwardness.
The Golden People are really straightforward...
""
Half an hour later, Xingmo got a series of supplies from the sheriff, including a tent for camping in the desert and an extremely strong camel.
After she handed the supplies to Xingmo, she was busy arranging the troops. The residents of Maoyan Town took to the streets, some of them set up roadblocks, and some of them loaded their muskets.
Looking at their fearless appearance in the face of danger, Xing Mo seemed to see a long team trekking across the sea of sand thousands of years ago.
In fact, putting aside the stance of impending war, this is truly an open-minded nation.
"Let's go," Aurora sat behind Xingmo and patted the camel's butt. "Little Yellow Two, forward four!"
Green light rippled, and the camel ran out of Maoyan Town quickly and headed towards the sea of sand.
Ring City - New Galo
On the city wall, the Supreme Praiser looked up at the blue sky.
The huge steam airship was rapidly passing over the border of Singapore and flying straight towards the Sky Garden.
The shadow of the metal behemoth slowly crossed the outline of the city, causing people in the city to look up and stop.
On the platform of the Hanging Gardens, elite troops sent by the Immortal Division were waiting to contact Shi Yi. Rows of soldiers wearing jackal armor were on full alert, looking up at the sky.
""
A scorching wind blew through the city, blowing the praisers' robes.
When the Jackal's eyes fell on the iron box under the steam airship, he suddenly covered his heart.
The heart is beating.
The filthy thing under the blue sky seemed to make the Jackal finally feel the throbbing in his chest after so many years of wandering.
It is a sun-like vision woven from countless wishes.
"Lord, your will never falls. It flows in poetry and will always rise at the next dawn."
The Supreme Praiser opened his arms and embraced the giant shadow of the steam airship.
In Singara, the sun still rises.
Maple Leaf Palace - Academy City Academi
The scarab walked through the corridor and into the council chamber.
What came into view was the long table, the vigilant guards in white, and the golden holy sword hanging above the seat.
"Welcome, Mr. Ambassador."
Councillor Martin was sitting in the last chair, legs crossed and arms outstretched.
From the soldiers surrounding him, it was clear that he did not welcome the scarab to take his seat.
But the Imperial ambassador seemed completely unconcerned.
He walked up to Senator Martin, revealing a pair of ordinary brown eyes behind his bronze beetle mask.
Councillor Martin felt he saw submission in those eyes.
"I'm here to discuss the banquet."
"That matter has been approved," Councillor Martin said with a charming smile. "The location is right here, Maple Leaf Palace. You will have the opportunity to enter the largest banquet hall in the school city."
“Thank you for your generosity,” the ambassador said.
"But all expenses will be borne by the Empire," Martin smiled. "You know, the peace agreement does include... your reparations, right?"
The ambassador was silent for a moment, then said:
"I need to report to the emperor."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot you were just a chatterbox," Martin sneered. "Ah, no offense, it's Citadel slang."
He still remembered how the ambassador humiliated him in public when he received the Scarab at the port.
Martin has always been a man who will avenge his enemies. Now he is the largest steam engine supplier in the city, a member of the White Tower, and has the support of the Decep family.
His power is now so great that he can cover the whole world with one hand.
The shame will be returned a hundredfold!
"We will treat you to the finest wines of the Empire," the Scarab said. "May peace reign."
"That depends on your strength," Martin waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright, now that you're done, go and apply for funding from your emperor. Make amends to us."
The scarab said nothing more, just turned and left.
As he was about to leave, a guard pretended to trip and spilled water on the scarab.
"Oops, excuse me," the guard said nonchalantly, "you're really short on water, so this little bit of water won't offend you, right?"
A burst of sneers suddenly rang out in the room. After being shrouded in the shadow of war for so long, almost everyone had more or less resentment towards the Imperials.
Martin looked at the imperial ambassador who was splashed with water with a smile, waiting for the moment when he would show his ugly face.
Unexpectedly, the scarab just nodded:
"Water is far more precious than fine wine."
After saying that, he pushed the door and left Maple Leaf Palace as if nothing had happened.
Inside the parliament hall, Councillor Martin's expression grew increasingly gloomy, with the corners of his mouth slightly crooked.
Chapter 245: The Blasphemers (Part 4) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
Since the resources they carried were not suitable for staying in the spirit world for too long, Xingmo and Aurora rode camels for the entire day.
Of course, it would be unreasonable not to use a fast way of moving for such a reason. The main reason they chose to walk was to observe the filthy people along the way.
Just as Xing Mo guessed, the road was full of those filthy creatures.
They shuttled between the sand dunes, most of them were black sticky substances with partial human forms, mixed with the sand, looking disgusting.
After Xingmo's observation, he found that not all monsters were highly aggressive.
A large number of them just wandered around in the sea of sand in confusion, while those that grew eyes stared at the sky and the sun all the time.
But no matter what their form or character, they all move in the same direction—
——New Galo.
""
Along the way, Xingmo and Aurora passed through several small towns or settlements.
Most of these settlements were attacked by the filthy people. With Xingmo's rescue, they provided valuable information.
For example, an inexplicable dust tornado is sweeping across the north, the cause of which is unknown.
For example, those filthy people did not appear recently, but were witnessed a long time ago, but were never taken seriously.
For example, all this information was sent to the Sky Garden in a timely manner, but never received a proper response.
All signs indicate that existence from the underground cursed river is continuously seeping to the surface.
Moreover, the Sky Garden knew all this but did nothing to stop it.
They just let it happen.
"Huh, they actually gave us some juice. Not bad, not bad."
Aurora raised the glass from behind the camel and handed it to Xingmo.
Xingmo held the reins and tapped the cup with her wand without looking back. Ice crystals spread along the wall of the cup, making the juice frozen.
"Great!"
Aurora held the juice, took a sip, and showed a satisfied expression.
She drank half of the juice and then handed the cup to Xingmo's mouth:
"Take a sip."
"It's getting dark soon, and the temperature is going to drop."
Xingmo opened her mouth and let the cold juice flow into her stomach.
She wiped her mouth, raised her head and looked at the horizon which was lightly stained with blue.
"Speaking of which, we should be almost at their nest, right?"
"Yeah, we're almost there. Little Yellow No. 2's movement speed is four or five times that of an average camel."
Aurora looked at the sand dunes gradually shrouded in darkness and smiled slightly:
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"What to expect?"
"Meeting the Great Sage," Aurora blinked. "Sage, isn't that a pretty impressive title?"
"Big people are always weird," Xing Mo muttered, but suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, how do you know the Great Sage is still in the lair?"
Logically speaking, after completing the mission in the desert, shouldn't he leave on a steam airship?
"It's simple, because they are here."
Aurora said, patting Xiao Huang's butt, and the camel stopped.
Xingmo looked at the sand sea in the distance and saw that the sand dunes were still tranquil under the moonlight, with the pale blue light sprinkled on the winding arcs, like stars falling on the sea.
"Where are you from?"
"Look down," Aurora reminded.
Xingmo opened the tree's vision and looked at the ground.
Then, her pupils trembled slightly——
——Tens of thousands of black dots of light are rising rapidly, like a grand meteor shower rising from deep in the terrain!
And their target is very clear, they are coming for Xingmo and Aurora!
"You can see that the monsters on the road have no heads, and these are coming for us." Aurora waved her hand.
"This means... they have a brain controlling them..." Xing Mo murmured.
Being able to control so many monsters must require extremely powerful extraordinary strength.
Aurora's guess that it was the great sage Thoth Ibrahim was not groundless.
"This seems a bit troublesome to deal with..." Xing Mo muttered, "How about retreating first?"
"Huh? Retreat? Little Saint, are you looking down on me?"
Aurora pinched Xingmo's cheeks and pouting them, making Xingmo's eyes tear up:
"Ouch, it hurts, what's going on?"
"I'm a god!" Aurora puffed out her cheeks. "Isn't it because I've been keeping a low profile for too long? Do you really think I have no power at all?"
"Well, then...what are you going to do?"
