455 Chapter 349: The Shocked Rebecca, Why is This Territory So Powerful? [1/2]
"How far away are we?"
Rebecca Frostwolf rode on the back of a single-humped camel, and fatigue shrouded her eyes.
Traveling in the desert was a double test of the body and will.
Especially in the desert of death, where flying units were not allowed, it increased the difficulty of traveling.
"There's still a half day left..."
An old white-haired man beside him said in a deep voice.
Libe immediately perked up.
"We're finally here..."
She had thought this would be an easy trip. Although the desert environment was harsh, it was nothing to her. She prepared for this trip.
However, he did not expect to encounter so many twists and turns on the way.
It was also the first time she experienced the true meaning of the name "desert of death."
Quicksand, wild beasts, desert bandits, desert tornadoes, and even a group of desert Dragons crossing the border...
She could not imagine how the city of dusk had survived and developed in a natural environment that was worse than the Ice Empire.
She pondered and turned to look at the old white-haired man.
"Uncle Klei, do you think Twilight City is as extraordinary as Onyx said?"
When she left, the death match had not ended yet, so the latest information came delayed to her knowledge.
The old white-haired man she asked responded softly.
"Young Lady, you will know when you see him later."
The old white-haired man looked at the young lady's dissatisfaction. And he smiled indulgently after he finished speaking.
She had watched the young lady grow up. And in his heart, she was no different from her daughter.
He didn't wait for the young lady to ask further and immediately became more serious.
The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce is arduous for President Windsor.
She took over the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce when she was young. Then, with her super-strong hands, she expanded it to the point where even the Ice Empire a thousand miles away, heard of it. One can describe his life experience as legendary.
It revealed information that could be an exaggeration. But it shouldn't be too outrageous.
His eyes revealed a bit of doubt as he spoke.
"But what I can't figure out is that according to the information from the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, Lord Richard, the grace mainland lord, only appeared a few months ago."
"No matter how fast the development is, it could not achieve what the other party said...
"The most powerful of the grace mainland lords around the Frostwolf territory are just ants to us."
It was also what made Rebecca suspicious.
"No matter how extraordinary the lord was, he couldn't go beyond the laws of development of the territory, right?"
Although the source of this news was the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, she did not believe it and had always maintained a cautious attitude.
As the two discussed, a scout that rode a desert horse returned.
After it got closer, Rebecca discovered that intense shock filled the other party's face. It was like he saw something terrifying.
"You seemed shocked. What happened?"
The guard shouted from dozens of meters away without waiting for her to ask.
"Young Lady... There's a sandstorm ahead!"
These words caused Rebecca's heart to clench in shock.
He raised his head and looked into the distance.
In an instant, at the end of his vision, the dark clouds in the sky slowly turned.
It was hard to tell if it was a sandstorm without looking carefully because it was too far away.
He immediately realized that something was different when he received the report.
They could already feel the fierce pressure, although there was still some distance between them.
Sandstorms were the most soul-devouring disasters in the desert.
Even a transcendent existence would not dare say they could pass through safely.
The old white-haired man named Klei said anxiously.
"How far is the sandstorm from us?"
"Estimated 50 kilometers!"
"Immediately set up the protective wall. We can't outrun the sandstorm..."
"Yes!"
The entire caravan seemed to have gone crazy as they built fortifications to defend against the sandstorm.
Sand and dust filled the air.
Fortunately, the sandstorm did not move very quickly.
After they finished building the fortifications, they remained on the horizon.
Everyone hid in the fortification and waited quietly.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes... One hour, two hours...
After five hours…
Rebecca looked at the clear sky, her eyes still in a daze... "It was a short 50-kilometer journey, so why was the sandstorm not here yet?"
She saw no movement around them after another hour. So she immediately got up and came out.
She switched out everyone.
She stared at the soldiers who investigated.
"Are you sure there's a sandstorm?"
"That's right, you see, you can find it on the horizon..."
"Could it be that the sandstorm has stopped in front?"
Rebecca heaved a sigh of relief.
They could still avoid the sandstorm even if they wasted a few hours.
Rebecca pondered for a moment.
"Send some people to investigate and see if the sandstorm is not coming in this direction."
"Yes, Miss."
The caravan sank into an anxious wait after the guard left.
They did not dare to leave the fortifications.
The scouting guard returned passed half an hour.
The other party's expression was supremely fascinating at this moment.
"Miss..."
Rebecca furrowed her brows when she saw how the guard stammered and could not reason out.
"What did you find?!"
The guard organized his words and said carefully.
"Miss, that sandstorm isn't moving towards us... No, the sandstorm didn't move in vain in any direction." As he said that, he gestured a few times impatiently.
"I meant the sandstorm will remain in place and not move.
"It can't move?"
Rebecca was at a loss. "Am I short of knowledge?"
