"What is going on?"

Before anyone could understand what was happening, the Horn Lizard soldiers charged fiercely at the Crimson Arc Guild. Their battle cries echoed across the desert as two thousand Horn Lizard Men rushed toward forward.

What!

Everyone watching the scene was dumbfounded.

Their jaws dropped, and their eyes widened in utter disbelief.

The sudden turn of events completely overturned everything they had expected.

Some even believed they were hallucinating, while others rubbed their eyes continuously to see if the scene before them would change.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times they blinked, the impossible scene remained exactly the same.

"This is crazy!"

"How can they attack the Crimson Arc Guild?"

"Is this some kind of conspiracy or what?"

"No! This can’t be real. It must be a drill."

While the spectators were shouting, denying what lay before their eyes, the scene on the battleground had already turned into a bloody battle.

Solenne’s expression was ugly, and her heart tightened.

The uneasiness that had lingered within her since yesterday suddenly became reality, confirming the worst possibility she had desperately hoped would never happen.

Since yesterday, she had been uneasy but did not think it would turn out like this. Every strange action of the Horn Lizard King now finally made sense.

But she underestimated how far the Horn Lizard King would go to achieve his goal. For his own very selfish dream of his clan, he had missed such an opportunity.

Even though her heart was dripping with blood.

Aching and pounding.

She did not let it weigh her down.

Her dual blades flashed into her hands as she vanished from her spot.

Her figure blurred into an afterimage, charging directly toward the incoming Horn Lizard soldiers.

Bang! Bang!

She arrived first before the Horn Lizard soldiers and evaded their long spears with great agility.

Her body twisted gracefully through the forest of spearheads, leaving every deadly thrust striking nothing but empty air.

Swish! Swish!

Her blades flashed once and vanished.

The dazzling arcs of crimson light disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared, making it impossible for ordinary eyes to follow.

Thud! Thud!

Two heads separated cleanly from their necks, falling onto the desert ground. Their bodies remained standing for a couple of moments.

Tu! Tu! Tu!

Blood gushed into the air from the severed necks like broken pipes. The crimson blood sprayed across the battlefield, instantly staining the golden desert beneath their feet.

This marked the start of another bloody battle that would be remembered for years to come.

With Solenne taking the first blood, the other members of the Crimson Arc Guild charged into the Horn Lizard soldiers’ formation.

Even though they were surprised by the betrayal. They recovered quickly.

There was no time to care why they were betrayed. The only thing that mattered now was surviving the battlefield before them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Riven, with his massive shield, deflected the first wave of attacks with ease before responding with a powerful strike.

Every spear crashing against his shield produced a thunderous impact, yet none could force him back even half a step.

His massive broadsword flashed in a wide arc. The enormous blade cut through the air with unstoppable momentum..

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Spears shattered into pieces the moment the broadsword collided with them. Wooden shafts exploded apart while metal spearheads were sent flying in every direction.

Even then, the broadsword did not stop moving forward.

Boom!

The massive blade crashed directly into the tightly packed Horn Lizard soldiers, instantly sending several Horn Lizard Soldiers flying through the air like broken kites.

Bones shattered, armor crumpled, and blood erupted.

"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!"

Deep gashes appeared across their chests, exposing their internal organs as blood poured endlessly into the desert sand.

No one cared about them as the battle was already in full swing.

Everywhere, the sounds of clashing weapons, furious roars, and agonizing screams intertwined into a single deafening chorus of war.

To the side, Kiera moved like a small rolling mountain.

Every step she took shook the ground beneath her feet, while her massive battle axe continuously carved a bloody path through the battlefield.

On her face was a wild, savage grin.

It was as if she was not in a life-and-death battle but on a children’s playground, having the best time of her life.

However, anyone who was close to her would know she was definitely having the best time of her life.

The excitement burning in her eyes made her resemble a battle-crazed beast that had finally found a battlefield worthy of her.

To her, she did not care if her enemies were the Horn Lizard soldiers or the Scorpion Clan soldiers.

As long as they stood in the way of their plan, she was happy to chop their bodies into pieces.

And that was exactly what she was doing on the battlefield.

There was no hesitation, no mercy, and certainly no pity.

She rolled to the side, dodging a wide saber attack from a massive Level 36 Horn Lizard soldier.

The heavy blade slammed into the desert where she had stood a couple of seconds ago, sending sand flying in every direction.

Before she could get on her feet.

She heard a whistling sound roaring toward her. The sharp sound sliced through the air with astonishing speed.

Every hair on her body stood on end, her instincts screaming.

She reacted on instinct and raised her axe in defense.

Boom!

A tail like a living serpent slammed into her axe, and the force from the attack sent her deeper into the ground, creating a deep crater.

The terrifying impact spread violent shockwaves throughout the battlefield, causing the surrounding Horn Lizard soldiers to stumble backward.

Dust rose into the sky.

At the center of the crater, she coughed, but the wild grin on her face did not lessen. Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, yet the excitement within her eyes only burned brighter.

She licked the blood from the corner of her lips. The metallic taste only fueled the battle lust surging through her body.

She sensed another strike coming, but this time, she was prepared.

She moved.

She vanished from her spot, evading the tail strike and swinging her axe. Her body exploded forward with astonishing speed, leaving only a blurred afterimage behind.

The air compressed around the axe as she brought it down. The enormous weapon descended with unstoppable force, crushing the surrounding air beneath its terrifying weight.

Bang!

"Ahhhhh!"

The Horn Lizard soldier screamed and staggered backward, his face riddled with panic. Before he could understand what was going on.

He saw the massive shadow of the axe blocking his view. His pupils contracted violently as despair completely filled his heart.

Bang!

From the sky, the axe came crashing down like a meteorite, cleaving the Horn Lizard soldier into two.

Armor or not.

They were all rendered useless.
