“My Lord, if we walk half a novel ahead, we’ll reach the oasis after we cross the two hills in front of us… Can you, can you let us go?”

The three weak captives had chapped lips, and they even wanted to die.

Although the dark gargoyles had carried them on their journey that day, they had been exposed to the sun for an entire day. If they had not been rewarded with a few glasses of water at noon, they would have suspected adults wanted to do it…

Why did they accept this mission for no reason…? And even convinced the residents to betray them? How could this thing convince them?

When they thought about how they had been arrested less than three minutes after they had revealed their identities, they suddenly felt sad.

They would never understand even in their death. What kind of medicine did this territory give its residents? Why were they all so loyal?

Those two informants were neighbors whom they had known for many years.

Richard ignored the captives and waved his hand to send a small team of dark gargoyles to scout ahead. He landed on the ground and waited for a report.

After a while, He, Gray, and Gunter explored how to capture Oasis City when the dark gargoyles returned from the front.

After they landed, they said in a muffled voice.

“Lord, a group of lizardmen has taken over the Oasis City. They are now driving the human captives away…”

The three captives were in disbelief when they heard this.

“What?! Oasis City was taken over by the lizardmen?!?

“Lord Xina is so powerful, how could she not even defend Oasis City?”

There was a hint of despair in their tone… They just hoped they could be rescued.

But now, their last hope was gone…

Richard furrowed his brows.

He had traveled through the night for fear of trouble, but he didn’t expect that something unexpected would happen.

“How strong are the lizardmen that attacked the Oasis City?”

The dark gargoyle shook its head.

“We’re afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so we didn’t dare to get too close. We can’t be sure of their strength, but there are more than five squadrons…”

“Five squadrons?”

Richard nodded and looked at the two mummy heroes.

“Gray, bring some people to investigate the enemy’s strength. If the enemy discovers you, retreat immediately. Do not get entangled.”

“Yes, Lord!”

Gray had control skills all over his body, so it would be easier to escape if he was discovered.

After Gray left with the two squads of dark gargoyles, Richard turned his head and stared at the three captives.

“Are there any powerful forces around Oasis City? What’s with those lizardmen?”

“No… We’ve never heard of them…”

The three captives shook their heads in unison.

After a few interrogations, the captives relayed no valuable information.

Richard simply threw them aside and ignored them.

Gray returned after Richard waited for about ten minutes.

At this time, one-third of the sun had already sunk into the yellow sand.

“Gray, what’s the situation?”

“The desert lizardmen carried the loot. They have no intention of occupying the Oasis City.”

Gray said calmly, “They have lizard cavalry, warriors, and wild archers. They are level 4 to 5, and their potential is rare to the point of being rare.

“This troop is led by a lizard mage commander, level 7 with unknown potential. There are also five small teams of lizard mages with them. They are Rare 3-stars.”

No wonder the newly built Oasis City was directly breached. This troop was indeed not weak.

“Does the enemy have an air force?”

“I haven’t noticed. After the enemy won, they were not very vigilant about their surroundings. Moreover, from their actions, they seemed to be rushing to a certain area.”

Richard nodded. He decisively gave the order after some thought.

“Gather the troops and chase after them.”

They dared to snatch the fat meat that was right in front of his mouth. These lizardmen were genuinely bold.

He had a lot of strength in his hands now, and he even had two A-rank hero commanders.

The thing that gave him the most confidence was the four teams of dark gargoyles.

The flying units had a huge advantage over the ground units. If they didn’t prepare their countermeasures beforehand, no one could restrict them.

Moreover, the dark gargoyles were magic-immune units. They could ignore the lizard mage commander and mage troops.

As a construct, the dark gargoyles’ defense was also extremely shocking. As long as it was not a powerful weapon like a siege crossbow, it would not be able to do anything to them.

Coupled with the Sand Transformation skill that Richard bestowed…

This troop was enough to be described as a metamorphosis.

Richard led his troop forward quickly under the half-light of the sun.

They arrived at a hill hundreds of meters away from Oasis City after the sun had completely sunk into the yellow sand.

They looked over and they saw an oasis with a lake. There were tall trees surrounding it, and many buildings could be seen hidden in the woods.

If they were to throw away the corpses, blood, and burning houses, this would be a suitable place to live.

He followed the tracks and looked in another direction. He could vaguely see at the end of his line of sight. The lizardmen drove away a large number of residents.

Richard’s gaze turned cold.

******

The lizard commander rode on a giant lizard of more than six meters long. It held a parchment in its hand and repeatedly looked at it. Its gray face covered with coarse, gritty skin, was particularly horrifying.

Its amber eyes, which did not have any human emotions, looked at the smaller giant lizard next to it.

On the back of the monitor lizard, two lizard warriors guarded a woman whose leather armor was broken and covered in blood marks.

The woman was tied up by a thumb-sized chain like a dumpling. The extra chain hung at her waist and made a crisp sound of collision as the monitor lizard crawled.

“Woman of the Krina tribe, you’re quite lucky to have obtained the map leading to the ruins…”

The lizard-like ugly face revealed a terrifying smile that made one’s heart turn cold.

It extended its hand to indicate the black magic mace in its hand.

“But the key to the ruins is in my hand… Hahaha, you surely didn’t expect that the two items of the ruins could sense each other, right?!”

“Wow!” It shook the yellowish goatskin parchment in its hand again.

“All of this is mine.”

Xena Krina, whose body was extremely weak, glanced at the black magic mace in the lizard commander’s hand.

Her tone was indifferent.

“Without the ruins… I don’t need ten breaths to kill you.”

The lizard commander’s face stiffened, and bad memories flashed in its eyes. It did not argue about it and snorted coldly.

“It is said that the Krina tribe hides an extremely powerful bloodline. When I get the treasure in the ruins, I will personally slit your throat and use your soul to sacrifice to my god. I hope your blood will satisfy my god…”

Xina revealed a mocking expression.

“Didn’t the god of justice beheaded your god long ago? When did you have a new faith?”

These words made the lizard commander’s face turn extremely ugly.

“The great lizard god is only temporarily asleep, not dead!”

It sneered a few times after it said that. Its face revealed the delight of a victor.

“The clamor and mockery of the weak are like a wild rabbit running under the sharp claws of a falcon, powerless and pale.

It genuinely makes one feel happy…”

When the lizard commander saw Xena’s gaze turn cold, its smile became even more impudent.

“Hahaha… Woman of the Krina tribe, not only are you a failure, but you will also become a stepping stone for me to step into a higher level…”

To show off in front of a loser was such an overwhelming thing.

After the lizard commander boasted, it gazed at the woman’s curvaceous figure and said with some regret, “It’s a pity that I’m not interested in humans. Otherwise, I would ultimately have a taste of the Krina tribe woman the entire desert yearns for…”

“Enemy attack!!”

A painful roar made the lizard commander hold back its words and turned around at the same time as Xina.

Under the illumination of the setting sun, more than ten dark gargoyles that emitted a metallic luster flapped their wings and swooped down towards the sky.

Xina’s eyes were sharp. She saw a young man with a cold expression riding on the dark gargoyle’s back.

She was in a trance.

‘Who is this young man?’
