Chapter 490 - 496: Desert Province Undergoes a Drastic Change
The three Great Lords fell.
The army lost its backbone.
With Sand Spring City’s legion in the front and Celestial Desolation City’s legion in the back, they were quickly besieged and fell into disarray.
In the end, more than half of the troops were eliminated, and the rest had no choice but to surrender under the lead of their chiefs to save themselves.
The entire battle lasted only about 3 hours.
It was such a swift process that everyone was caught off guard.
"Did we just win like that?"
"I can’t believe it, it’s like a dream!"
"Celestial Desolation City stood on our side? Someone tell me what’s going on!"
Surprise, bewilderment.
Intertwined in everyone’s hearts at this moment.
Sand Spring City Lord, the highest leader of Azure Dragon, Hang Yu is now at level 16.
Zhao Ming, Xu Tianhua, and several others also gained immense Spiritual Qi and growth from this battle, hence leveling up to 15.
The core team of the Human Race has grown fully!
Apart from that, this battle successfully killed three Great Lords, dozens of Desert Province masters, plus tens of thousands of soldiers, so the spoils and resources obtained might be astronomical.
Currently under intense accounting.
Hang Yu donned a dark red cape shimmering with a purple Spiritual Aura, enhancing his aura significantly and imposing immense pressure on anyone facing him, even Nazg felt a slight shiver at the sight of him!
Nazg keenly felt.
Hang Yu had become very strong!
Now, even someone like him couldn’t suppress Hang Yu’s confidence.
Desert Province has a total of nine Governors, and among them, Blood Asura Nazg is considered quite strong. If the two were to duel today, the outcome might be fifty-fifty.
Previously.
There were some gaps between Hang Yu and the Governor-level characters.
But now, reaching level 16 and donning new Purple Equipment, the gap can be disregarded, and he has truly become a mighty individual with one’s own strength.
For this.
Nazg not only didn’t have any misgivings.
But was actually quite satisfied.
The stronger the potential of the Human Race, the more hope for the upcoming battles.
The larger the growth space for the Human Race, the greater future it offers him.
Hang Yu said, "Thank you for your assistance!"
Nazg replied calmly, "Helping allies is helping oneself. I hope you abide by the contract, and after this war, the secrets of the Desert Province can no longer be concealed, and you should know what will happen next."
Hang Yu smiled.
Neither said anything further.
Today’s great victory doesn’t exactly count as much; winning was a given with the union of Sand Spring City and Celestial Desolation City, but the subsequent events will be filled with uncertainties!
The Human Race, Blackthorn Alliance, Desert Province, and the current strongest will engage in a war unseen for centuries, and this battle will affect the Earth Dragon Realm’s landscape for a long time.
It’s hugely challenging.
But there’s no choice.
Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, Jiang Nan, and other high-ups of Azure Dragon have informed the others of the situation and reasons.
That’s when everyone understood.
It turns out it was like this.
The Governor who initiated the siege against Sand Spring City.
Was from the start, on Sand Spring City’s side.
Nazg did not summon the three Great Lords’ armies to destroy Sand Spring City; quite the contrary, he purely aimed to lure the Great Lords’ armies into a trap to wipe out their vital forces, which is why he led his army to the Death Desert personally.
After this battle.
The main cities to the East, West, and South.
Of Desert Province are finished.
In fact, the same day the battle at Sand Spring City began, Dark Fire City’s Deputy City Lord Poison Blade had already reached Volcano City and joined forces with Red Flame’s troops to strike at the nearby Dark Fire City and Gale City.
Time is precious.
No time for speeches.
Everyone is overwhelmingly busy.
Next, every second counts in expanding the battle successes.
Nazg hastily gathered his team, rushed east, and seized Thousand Marsh City.
To this point, the three cities’ defeat and surrender were without suspense, with all major battles taking about four days in total.
In just these short four days, Desert Province changed dramatically.
Whether it’s the counter-siege victory at the Death Desert or the successive captures by Red Flame, Poison Blade, and Nazg of three major cities, they all brought astonishing amounts of loot and resources, making the profits from this battle immense.
Sand Spring City and Celestial Desolation City split the earnings in half.
After all, Celestial Desolation City remains the largest force in the Desert Province; whether these current battles or the battles that are yet to come, they all depend on Celestial Desolation City’s contributions, and Nazg showed considerable courtesy and perspective in allowing Sand Spring City’s faction to share the gains equally.
Hang Yu then set aside nearly half of the strength he received, and from that, handed almost half to the teams outside of Azure Dragon, including the Earth Lords.
For everyone involved.
They all received astonishing gains.
Zhao Ming and Er Gou reported to Hang Yu about Sand Spring City’s inventory situation: "Excluding raw production materials, there are 2 Purple Items, 507 Blue Items, 4812 Green Items... The total value of Spirit Realm Crystal Stones is equivalent to about eleven thousand Blue Crystals!"
This is after deducting battle losses, expenses, and allocation for rewards.
The above are all officially recorded numbers.
It’s considered the property of the Azure Dragon Organization.
Hang Yu, as the top shareholder and leader of the Azure Dragon Organization, has absolute control and usage rights over these items, and receiving such a substantial haul at once, even he couldn’t help but feel a burst of joy.
Additionally, there are ample materials.
With the injection of these materials.
The troops of Sand Spring City can be quickly cultivated.
As Hang Yu sifted through the high-quality spoils for useful items, he focused first on the two Purple Items.
The Book of Holy Light, a level 15 special item, Purple Lower Grade Quality, Divine +40, Will +20, Holy Professional skill consumption -20%, Holy Professional skill cooldown -20%.
The Broken Ancient Giant Shield, a level 15 piece of equipment, Purple Lower Grade Equipment, due to its damaged state, its attributes are hidden.
Both items were found from the city of a major City Lord.
The former is a special item; when carried during a battle, it can manifest its effects without taking up equipment slots, yet it doesn’t bind to the user, and it will inevitably drop upon the user’s death.
It’s clearly an item for a Holy Professional.
Hang Yu handed it directly to Jiang Nan for use.
Jiang Nan was ecstatic, not even dreaming he could receive a Purple item, and upon seeing its attributes, he immediately cherished it as a treasure.
With this item for support.
His abilities increased by at least tens of percentage points!
The other Purple Item was a broken shield, probably stored away for many years but never repaired, and thus couldn’t be used. It was discovered following the city’s fall.
Hang Yu had Tasia repair it as soon as possible.
However, for Hang Yu, the Giant Shield wasn’t of much use.
Unsurprisingly, this shield should be allocated to Old Zhao.
Old Zhao was already a Great God of the defense genre, and if he possessed a Purple Giant Shield, it would be impregnable; even Hang Yu would need significant effort to breach his defenses.
Besides these two items.
Hang Yu also found many items valuable to himself.
For instance, among these items, he found something extremely important to himself, a Skill Stone.
Combat Professional Skill Stone: Mad Demon’s Roar, a fragment of Prison Blood Demon’s legacy, Blue Upper Grade Quality.
Indeed!
A Fourth Tier skill of the Prison Blood Demon!
Hang Yu’s second legacy could now be activated!
Speaking of the skill itself, it’s a control skill for a Combat Professional, unleashing a spiritual roar that attacks all nearby targets, and while the damage isn’t particularly strong, it’s excellent at causing dizziness and even unconsciousness.
Hang Yu doesn’t lack Attack Skills.
But this type of skill is very much needed.
