Krulrod's history goes back a thousand years and was not encompassed by the endless desert, and it was the horrors of the War of the Elders that created the desolation until six hundred years ago, when the barbarian Jagger established a vast barbarian empire that spanned Krurod and Bailds, as well as a small part of the Mudran territory.

However, the deeper he walked in this desert, the more Lear realized that it was not as barren as it was rumored to be, at least the liquid that was boiling in the depths of the leylines was extremely valuable for development.

Like the world in which he originally existed, the desert was rich in oil.

It's just that he knows that this oil doesn't have much practical meaning for him at the moment, and the extraction and refining are very complicated processes, and without the support of reliable technology and large equipment, he can't pour out those things with the power of magic alone.

After learning the news that the Casting Clan had invaded the Elemental Realm, Lear temporarily stopped the idea of continuing to vigorously develop weapons and armaments, the fall of the Elemental Empire Celal was inevitable, and just three to five years was not enough time for him to develop technology to the Great Universe Age, rather than using those medieval muskets to shake the Casting Clan's spaceship at that time, it was better to honestly improve his strength.

After all, this is still a world dominated by the will of magic, even if it is Olivia that exists in Stephen, the Foundry Clan can only hide in the meteorite pile like a cosmic pirate and cannot occupy a planet openly, although I don't know what the technological civilization of the Foundry Clan has developed, but the development of the magical civilization to the extreme will definitely not lag behind Lear is almost certain.

Even Lear was vaguely expecting a joint invasion of the Foundry Clan and the Kerrigans, and if he could capture one or two Foundry scientists to learn more about their technical methods, wouldn't the mechanical problems that had been limited on his side be solved?

Of course, these are all later words, and the current thing to do is to lay down the sand city.

It has to be said that Mlak is really very talented in commanding the army, and under his reasonable allocation, the army of tens of thousands of people is all in good order, whether it is resting or marching, and the journey, which originally took four days to complete, actually arrived on the evening of the third day.

Therefore, on the fourth day, when the sun had just risen, they appeared in formation on the open rocky beach outside the city, and all the warriors looked in good spirits, and the fatigue of the long march was eliminated by the night's rest, while the defenders of the city were dumbfounded when they saw this amazing army from the sky.

The sleepy-eyed guards of the open gates, and the woodcutters and hunters scattered in and out of the gates showed that this was a normal day for the barbarians who lived in the city of Shining Sand, but the ugly big-eared monsters had just opened their eyes from their sleep and were horrified to find themselves in another nightmare, the kind that would never wake up.

After several unanswered questions, the big-eared monsters on the city walls first attacked with a ballista, and without any nonsense, the battle began directly.

Lear's army was still the same old routine, greeting the defenders and natives of the city with the volley of hundreds of cannons, and at first the big-eared monsters and orcs on the walls tried to fight back with crossbows and axes, but when all their efforts fell in mid-air and they didn't even touch the edge of the artillery position, they had no choice but to retreat.

In their experience, even the most powerful catapults will run out of boulders, and although the iron pipes that are far less powerful than the catapults are more terrifying than the catapults, they have no other way.

Even if General Senbu hadn't sent 1,000 men from the city to escort the grain convoy to Clegmore two days ago, the 5,000 defenders of Shining Sand City alone would not be able to go out of the city to engage the enemy in a field battle.

Luckily, they soon didn't have to worry about field battles, and to some extent they didn't even have to worry about street fighting.

"The dragon of earth, dormant in the void, show your power in the name of the dragon god, causing the city to crumble, the earth to fall, and all things to dust. "The earth shakes!"

Using the power of the Elemental Dragons is different from using the Elemental Power of the World, in that even the simplest secondary magic consumes multiple mana times every time it is cast, so Lear is generally not very willing to borrow the power of the Elemental Dragons, but in both cases, the exception is this.

One is particularly urgent, and requires large-scale and high-intensity spell casting to save the situation, and the other is too idle to have enough time to replenish even if it is consumed.

Now it clearly belongs to the latter.

The high mana consumption in exchange for a terrifying effect, with the power of the elemental dragon blessing, a mid-level spell can bring no less damage than a high-level spell.

Starting from the distance of 100 meters in front of Lear's body, the ground seemed to be directly hit by a 10,000-ton extraterrestrial meteorite, and the cracks that were densely packed like snakes began to spread rapidly towards the walls of Shining Sand City, and expanded dramatically in the process.

Although the barbarians' architectural style has always been based on rough and solid boulders, when the walls were covered with terrifying cracks like spider webs and vines, several sections of the city wall of tens of meters collapsed one after another, and several tombs were piled up on the ground along with the orcs and big-eared monsters who had not had time to flee from the city.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Holding the Vulcan sword and wearing a silver helmet, his fighting spirit shone like a god of war galloping at the forefront of the cavalry regiment, after several battles, he finally reached the edge of breaking through the paladin, wisps of golden light swam on his body like a golden snake, and soon he will become the second general of Spartacus to step into the ranks of high-level combat power after Lear.

At that time, Lear will naturally have a little gift for him.

After the collapse of the walls, the cavalry charged, and the artillery positions stopped roaring in favor of the neat advance of the musketeers, Ivo at the head of the line with a golden bow in hand.

Although he was still unaccustomed to using a reluctant musket, when Lear handed him the artifact he had captured from Tartaglia, his iron arrows were far more lethal than those of musketeers.

In the case of the strongest combat power of Shining Sand City, there are only a few hundred ogres, and almost every off-string arrow announces the death of a barbarian warrior, not to mention the sea eagle brigade led by Ilor to support in the air, although there is no explosive pack, but the sea eagle's sharp claws, sharp beak, and the throwing guns in the hands of the warriors are also killing weapons.

There was no need for the crystal dragon group standing at the rear of the military formation to be dispatched, and the absolute suppression of Mrak and the others by virtue of numbers alone completely controlled the rhythm of the war.

Less than ten minutes into the battle, when Senbu, the garrison general of Sand City, finally arrived at the gates of the city in belated, he was presented with crumbling walls and bloody corpses everywhere, as well as half-dead people fleeing and wailing in despair in pain.

"Who are you!Dare to attack the territory of Lord Tanan, the spirit of the ancestors will definitely make you pay for your blood debts!"

In fact, as long as you are not a fool, you can see at a glance that this war is completely meaningless, and without the most important city wall support, it is impossible for these thousands of people alone to stop the enemy's attack.

As soon as he heard the enemy's attack, he had already rushed desperately to the city gate, but what made him couldn't believe was that the city wall made of 100 tons of boulders was as unbearable as tofu scum in front of the enemy.

Ten minutes! What kind of siege efficiency is this?

However, the duty made it impossible for Senbu to escape, not to mention that escaping from the battle was a more difficult shame for barbarians to accept than death, and the mere fact that the soul was not accepted by the temple after death was enough to make them desperate, and Sen, who only felt a deep powerlessness in despair, could only let out such a curse-like roar.

What else?

"You're a guard?"

A heavy sound of horses' hooves accompanied by an even heavier shaking of the ground appeared in front of Senbu over the collapsed city gate, and he looked up to meet the condescending and cold gaze of a young man with blond hair.

"Yes. ”

Although he tried his best to show his heroic and unyielding appearance, the terrifying figure standing behind the young man made Senbu finally blurt out a deep sense of awe, and he lowered his head and tried not to let the other party see the tremor in his eyes.

"Order your men to stop resisting, and then gather all the people in the city to the wasteland outside the city, and I will give you an hour. Or you have another option, which is to bury you with the entire Shining Sand City, and you have a minute to make a choice. ”

After saying this, Lear no longer looked at Senbu but looked around coldly, the fighting in the city would naturally not stop without his order, and his indifferent attitude made Senbu feel a mountain of pressure even more.

Even though there were now thousands of barbarian warriors standing behind him and there were only two enemies, the terrifying coercion emanating from that huge figure was like a giant hand choking his heart, so he didn't dare to move a single bit, not even to give orders to support the warriors in the streets who were being ruthlessly pursued by the enemy.

That cold gaze fell back on him, as if to silently remind him that the time was almost up.

"We surrender. ”

I don't know if it's because he finally got out of the shadow of death or gave up the bravery and pride that he had been holding onto, after saying this, Senbu actually had a sense of relief, although the shame and guilt were equally strong, but in the case that the voice in his heart had been reassuring him that his decision was correct, it turned out to be more joyful and lucky.

"You have an hour. ”

Lear didn't want to pay attention to Senbu's mental activities, for him, meaningless killings could be avoided, and it was naturally best to avoid it, and if it couldn't be avoided, it was just the effort to kill a few more people, and if you want to blame the ancestors of the barbarians, they would not have any mental burden on him.

With that, Lear rode out of the city, and after the killing died down, countless Spartacus warriors poured back into the streets from the streets and alleys.

The order is forbidden, this is one of the strictest regulations of the Spartacus army, and such mercy is only temporary, and whether it will become a Shura field outside the city depends on the decision of the barbarians.
