The vast sea of sand stretches to the horizon, where not a blade of grass grows.

At the junction of heaven and earth, a bulge seems to rise, glimmering under the sunlight like a golden mountain.

If one has strong enough eyesight, they would discover that it is actually an ancient city standing deep in the desert.

Sand Spring City!

The main city in the Beicang region of Desert Province.

This city is more than six times the size of an ordinary town, with direct territorial radius exceeding tenfold, capable of storing more than twenty thousand soldiers at once.

As a large territory, Sand Spring City not only has jurisdiction over dozens of territories within its range, but the town itself also possesses numerous functions that ordinary towns do not have.

Whoever can become the Lord of Sand Spring City.

Becomes the Overlord of the north of Desert Province!

The struggle around this city has never ceased.

Short as three to five years, long as decades, no race or strongman has ever owned this city forever, ultimately losing the throne for various reasons, replaced by new rising stars or outsiders.

Under the rule of Kaliemlo.

Sand Spring City in all aspects is reaching its peak.

No one anticipated that in such a short time, the situation would abruptly take a drastic turn, leading to an unprecedented crisis.

With Kaliemlo’s strength.

Resurrection takes about more than a month.

By utilizing the Resurrection Spring Water of Sand Spring City, the resurrection speed is accelerated, allowing Kaliemlo to shorten the required resurrection time by more than half.

Even so.

It’s still too late!

As soon as Kaliemlo was resurrected.

He learned the news of the defeat at Deserted Valley Town.

Before he had time to fly into a rage, his subordinates reported the news of the Minor Lords rising in rebellion.

Could this be possible?

These guys dare to rebel!

They must not want to live!

Have I, Kaliemlo, really grown weak and lacking ferocity?

It seems that over the years, I have been too gentle and merciful!

Kaliemlo, with red eyes, decided to deploy troops to bloodily purge these rebellious Minor Lords, yet another disastrous bad news crudely smeared on his face, making him feel the deep malice of fate!

"Urgent military situation!"

"Urgent military situation!"

"The army is approaching Sand Spring City."

From the time he was resurrected.

To when the enemy forces reached the city gates.

It was less than a day.

The humans formally initiated the war for the throne!

With more than twenty Minor Lords responding!

Among them, even the Lord of Gale Town, considered a trusted confidant!

"Damn it!"

"These shameless humans!"

"What on earth have they done?"

Kaliemlo came to the walls of Sand Spring City.

The main force had already gathered in front of the city, consisting of more than ten different races, at least twenty kinds of soldier types, with numbers estimated to exceed forty-five thousand, approaching fifty thousand!

What an enormous army this is?

The forces of Sand Spring City had only recovered a small fraction.

Kaliemlo had dropped to level 14, his strength had significantly declined.

The combat troop in the city was less than twelve thousand, although the combat power of Sand Spring City’s troops is very strong, facing an attack of such scale still poses great pressure.

Kaliemlo couldn’t understand!

Why did it develop to this point!

Sand Spring City just lost a battle!

In less than ten days, how could humans possibly persuade these Minor Lords in such a short time? Even after one defeat, the strength of Sand Spring City is still far above the four towns of the humans!

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of war drums resounded.

The glow of Enhancing Skills flashed.

This is the prelude to the general assault.

Vice Lord Kalem of Sand Spring City, with an ugly expression, said, "Lord, what should we do? Perhaps we should try negotiating with them!"

"Negotiate? Are your brains filled with sand? What is there to negotiate in this situation!" Kaliemlo, furious, roared, "Am I supposed to withdraw from Sand Spring City? Am I to bow and scrape to the humans?"

Everyone fell into silence.

Looking at the current situation, Sand Spring City’s position is unfavorable.

With dozens of Lords openly rebelling, even with the strength of Sand Spring City, it would be difficult to withstand it, and once entangled in prolonged confrontation, the entire Beicang region would be engulfed in endless war, and there would be no good days ahead.

The best outcome might be a Pyrrhic victory for Sand Spring City.

But after a Pyrrhic victory.

What could be gained?

A main city in ruins, with nearly no remaining forces, over twenty territories utterly destroyed by war, Lords fleeing their abandoned lands?!

If it really comes to this stage.

It might take no less than ten years to recover.

But Sand Spring City isn’t the only Great Lord in the Desert Province.

In the south, west, and east, there is at least one Overlord, and in the very center is a Governor of the Province!

With such a commotion on this side of Sand Spring City, it’s impossible for them not to receive any intel, would they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

They haven’t fought yet.

Perhaps there is still room for negotiation.

These Minor Lords are just a pack of ravenous wolves.

Giving them a few pieces of meat should stop them from barking so fiercely!

Even if in the end it can’t resolve the situation, at least the hundreds of people in Sand Spring City can retreat with the wealth and resources accumulated over the years.

If the green hills remain, there will be no worries about firewood!

But this is out of Kaliemlo’s consideration.

He has been sitting on the Great Lord’s throne for some years, and once power is possessed, it’s hard to let go. He fiercely said, "Sand Spring City has the strongest city in the northern province. These weak rabble are merely seeking their own demise!"

Soon!

The human alliance moved.

The main forces did not directly press forward.

Magic cannons lined up neatly at five thousand meters away.

Hang Yu brought out all the magic cannons from the four towns for the battle, totaling around two hundred, plus eighty newly purchased on credit, accumulating nearly three hundred magic cannons!

Each magic cannon.

Has already been upgraded and enhanced.

Now they are all Level 15 green magic weapons!

The shells they use are also specially reinforced, with a maximum range of six thousand meters. In a place like the Desert Province, they are definitely ultra-long-range weapons!

Hang Yu believed.

Firing within this range.

Apart from a few masters with long-range archery skills, the weapons, traps, and Arrays both on the city and under it pose no threat to the alliance, and they can’t even hit the alliance.

Besides these two or three hundred magic cannons.

The Spirit Sword Bureau also contributed some long-range magic-guided missiles.

"Open fire!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The piercing sound of breaking through the air echoed!

Countless powerful shells and missiles tore through the air!

When they exploded on the city wall, they were blocked by a blue Barrier, causing no damage to Sand Spring City.

"Worthy of a Main City, the defense is strong!" Zhao Ming couldn’t help but marvel at Sand Spring City remaining unscathed, "Luckily we prepared enough ammunition and military supplies!"

Xu Tianhua waved his hand: "Keep firing!"

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

Wave after wave of shell rain.

Sand Spring City was hysterically bombarded by the shells!

Hang Yu watched the shells continually being fired and suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart, as if being pricked by needles.

Damn it.

What was fired wasn’t just shells.

Every single one was clearly a Crystal Stone!

A Level 15 magic-guided shell is worth about 10 Green Crystals each.

So with one salvo, nearly 3000 Green Crystals were spent, and after five rounds, a total of 15,000 Green Crystals were consumed, amounting to over 1000 Blue Crystals!

Although the defense of Sand Spring City obviously dimmed and loosened.

At this rate.

It won’t be enough without firing another one or two thousand Blue Crystals!

These shells were purchased by Azure Dragon on credit from Celestial Net.

At this rate, even a wealthy person like Hang Yu wouldn’t be able to afford it!

He’s just heartbroken over the money burning.

While Sand Spring City is purely in despair!

Sand Spring City does not have advanced magic weapons, and the range of the opponent’s artillery is just beyond the reach of the city defense’s weapons, thus falling into a position of passive beating without being able to counterattack, watching helplessly as the City Defense Barrier is slowly depleted.

Boom!

A shell pierced the Barrier.

Several Sand Spring City soldiers on the city head were blown away!

The Barrier in Sand Spring City has been broken, and with the first breach, soon there was a second, third, fourth... In no time, the city head and inside Sand Spring City were ablaze.

The defending army was passively beaten.

The casualties were extremely severe.

"Assemble! Assemble! All troops assemble!"

"Everyone charge with me! Kill them all! Kill all humans!"

Kaliemlo, facing the scene before him, felt a sense of despair surge within, followed by overwhelming hatred and anger, shouted savagely.

Kalem was shocked.

He wanted to stop him but was powerless.

He knew Kaliemlo too well, once he fell into rage, he would lose his rationality. The approach of the humans repeatedly struck blows against his pride as a Great Lord, so he decided to abandon defense and switch to active attack.

Hang Yu felt relieved seeing this.

If Sand Spring City huddled within the city, he would feel quite distressed.

The Azure Dragon’s reserve of shells was almost exhausted, even though the City Defense Barrier and defenses were gone, there were many Arrays and traps inside and outside the city, directly assaulting the city would still be quite challenging.

Unexpectedly.

Kaliemlo was even more impatient than imagined.

Wasn’t it just enduring three or four thousand shells? And he actually howled and charged out.

Seeking his own doom!

Two Destructive Giant Soldier Magic-guided Armors launched!

Hang Yu raised his Long Blade burning with flames: "Kaliemlo is doomed, it’s time to earn merits, kill them!"

After a fierce battle.

The morale of Sand Spring City collapsed, ultimately unable to hold on.

From the moment of charging out of Sand Spring City, Kaliemlo’s chances of victory were already very slim!

After a hard battle, there was little suspense, Hang Yu’s group once again killed Kaliemlo.

After all, compared to the previous Kaliemlo, losing a level had greatly reduced his strength.

Kaliemlo’s troops were completely defeated, dead, fled, surrendered... Sand Spring City officially changed hands, the Desert Province turned upside down!
