Desert Skirmish

"011, Celestial Beast, has reached the designated location…"

"Wait, why is there a mountain on the Eye of the Sahara?"

"Large number of lifeforms detected on the mountain. They're Fish-Men!"

"The dog has gone up the mountain. Provide support immediately!"

"Main force, prepare for descent!"

Several helicopters sped through the sky. The doors opened, and figures were thrown out!

010, The Clown, stood at the helicopter door, his hair and clothes whipped by the wind.

"My friends, want to hear a serenade?"

"Shut up."

013, Nightmare, walked up from behind and kicked Arthur out.

Then, he took a step and charged forward.

Countless figures filled the sky. Parachutes and hang gliders opened. Fan Ye had a hang glider on his back.

Several other monsters also had hang gliders.

016 White Walker, 017 Balance, 019 The Vermin, and 021 Swordsmith!

Swordsmith waved his hand. The giant Blood Flesh chain swords unfurled and swept out like whips, striking towards the Fish-Men on the mountain!

"Fish-Man swords, I haven't collected these yet!" He cackled, his voice filled with anticipation.

Soldiers descended from the sky. Seeing this, the Fish-Man Priests began chanting strange incantations.

"Ancient Ones!"

"Nightgaunts!"

"Ghouls!"

"Rat-Faced Humans!"

...

A horde of unnamed monsters was summoned at this moment!

Their forms were bizarre, their abilities varied!

As Dagons or Priests, the number of monsters they could summon was limited. Those called Great Priests could summon more than ordinary Priests.

But the number of these Priests was over a thousand!

Even if each of them could only summon ten monsters, it would still be a massive army!

Moreover, the number of low-level Deep Ones was over 400,000!

Yes, 400,000. But this wasn't even the limit of the Deep Ones!

Chino only brought 400,000 Deep Ones this time, which accounted for 80% of the total number of Deep Ones.

The moment the Kitsune soldiers landed, Fish-Men instantly emerged from the sand, frantically attacking them!

The number of Fish-Men that appeared was more than ten times the total number of Kitsune soldiers!

Many soldiers died the moment they landed.

But until this moment, the Right Hand soldiers hadn't moved.

...

The moment Arthur landed, Fish-Men and monsters summoned by Priests instantly attacked!

Arthur waved his hand. All the Fish-Men and monsters clutched their throats, grabbing their heads, and collapsed.

He'd thrown throwing knives into their brains and throats!

Although he couldn't throw bombs, as long as he had enough throwing knives, he could kill them by covering their bodies with knives!

"Let's all have some fun, shall we?" He grinned, a manic glint in his eyes.

Arthur twirled the throwing knives in his hand and started moving quickly up the mountain.

But at that moment, a hand suddenly emerged from the sand, grabbing Arthur's ankle!

A second later, a Ghoul emerged from the ground, biting Arthur's ankle!

"Darkness!"

A black fog condensed into a hand, striking the Ghoul, instantly putting it to sleep.

Fan Ye retracted his hang glider and landed steadily. "They've been preparing here for a long time. Even this mountain might be their creation. Be careful." His voice was calm, but his eyes were alert, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.

The two were about to continue forward when a Fish-Man Priest blocked their path.

Countless Ghouls appeared behind the Priest.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the Priest of Ghouls. I'm here to play with you. How about it?" The Priest's voice was raspy, a chilling smile twisting his lips.

Then, the Ghouls behind the Priest swarmed toward the two.

Arthur stamped his foot, instantly launching his throwing knives into the Ghouls' bodies!

But the Ghouls continued to attack, unaffected!

Arthur quickly retreated. A wall of knives formed from his throwing knives appeared, blocking the Ghouls' attacks!

"These ghouls don't have any physiological weaknesses. I'll put them to sleep. You deal with the Priest!" Fan Ye said, black mist erupting from his body, instantly pulling the attacking ghouls into a dream world.

Arthur grinned and charged towards the Priest of Ghouls!

When he was within range, he swung his right hand.

"Time for a heart-piercing magic trick!" He cackled, his voice filled with manic glee.

Splat, splat, splat, splat!

Countless throwing knives pierced the Priest of Ghouls's heart, causing him to cough up blood.

"Ritual!"

The Priest of Ghouls yelled. The Priests behind him raised their coral scepters, pointing at him!

"Salar's Immortality Ritual!"

The Priest's damaged heart was instantly reassembled by writhing tentacles, which forced the throwing knives out of his body!

At the same time, a black pillar of fog shot into the sky.

The Priest of Ghouls grinned, his eyes gleaming with malice. "If that's all you've got, you're pathetic. Ghouls, awaken!"

The Priest's words instantly jolted the sleeping Ghouls awake.

Fan Ye frowned. "This is a mental attack?" He muttered, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead. This was a complication he hadn't anticipated. "Arthur, he just used some kind of sustained mental attack on his summons. I can't put them to sleep now. Do you have a plan?"

"Plan B!" Arthur replied, a manic grin spreading across his face.

"You have a plan B? What is it?" Fan Ye pressed, his voice tight with urgency.

"Hold on, I'm making it up!" Arthur's reply was nonchalant, as if the horde of reawakened ghouls was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

...

011 Celestial Beast had already reached the mountaintop!

A Priest raised his scepter. "I am the Priest of Water…"

Splat, splat!

Celestial Beast bit off the Priest's throat with one bite. Countless Fish-Men charged forward. A Priest started chanting, "Teeth…"

Splat, splat!

Celestial Beast's figure flashed, tearing apart another Priest and a group of Fish-Men.

He was like a ruthless meat grinder, thorns covering his body. He'd entered hunting mode, killing everything in his path.

"Someone stop that dog!"

"Where's Vespa?!"

"Dead."

Vespa casually gave a like as he walked by.

...

The battlefield was divided into four areas.

017 Balance and 021 Swordsmith were together.

And their opponent was the Priest of the Old Ones, one of the five Great Priests.

The Priest of the Old Ones had many Ancient Ones around him that looked like cocoons!

They were in the distance, constantly attacking the two with their tentacles. They were extremely difficult to deal with!

Swordsmith's weapons were all entangled by the tentacles. He couldn't break free.

"Quick, use Tai Chi!"

Balance didn't hesitate. He struck the Fish-Man Priest with his palm.

The Fish-Man Priest instantly disappeared.

Then, Balance struck out with several more palms, pulling the Ancient Ones into the Eight Trigrams space.

"This isn't right. We haven't seen the main guy."

"Maybe he didn't come?"

"Impossible. He must know about the Atlantis matter and the seal. Otherwise, why would he send so many monsters to guard this place?"

"And if he knows, then he must be here!"

"But if he came, there's nowhere for him to hide in this vast desert. Where could he be?!"
