The battle at Yellow Sand City had entered a tense state.
Or rather, it had become a death trap that they willingly walked into.
Riley’s expression had changed from anger at the beginning to numbness later on, and was now slowly moving towards despair.
The ferocious underground army had been encircling the city-state for three days, launching several large-scale attacks almost every day.
However, they couldn’t even touch the towering city walls.
Surrounding Yellow Sand City, there were scenes of destruction and chaos everywhere.
Corpses and war debris of Dore, the Undead, Dark Dwarves, and various creatures from the Dark Domain littered the area in front of Yellow Sand City.
Iron balls that fell from the sky and exploded.
Strange lumps of iron buried underground that would explode upon contact.
Falling pit traps that would collapse instantly when someone stepped on them, filled with sharp spikes underneath.
Quicksand that would trap everyone if they took two consecutive steps.
And so on, and so forth
All of these had been the reality that Riley and her group were facing over the past days.
Apart from the Undead, who didn’t know hunger or fear, the morale of the once ferocious underground army had hit rock bottom.
What’s more, their food supply was running dangerously low.
Damn it all, they searched the nearby area and found no trace of any living creatures, not even a single Desert Giant Lizard.
Due to hunger, occasional chaos began breaking out in the ranks of the underground army, with more powerful individuals snatching food from their comrades.
Or, they would simply turn their comrades into food.
If this situation were to continue, it wouldn’t bode well for them, as they might really starve to death here.
To solve the food problem, Riley had already sent people to transport food from the Dark Domain, but it would take a considerable amount of time.
At the beginning, Riley never expected that she would waste so much time in this place.
So, she approached the Black Knight with a serious expression and suggested, “Why don’t we give up on Yellow Sand City, bypass it, and attack Nolan Forest directly?”
“So we can be caught in a pincer attack?”
The cold and indifferent voice of the Black Knight indicated that he disagreed with Riley’s idea.
“What do you want to do then? Just keep waiting here?”
Riley was almost laughing in anger.
“I have made arrangements. Tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack!”
“A full-scale attack?”
Riley looked at the Black Knight as if he were a fool.
Then, she said angrily, “A full-scale attack Fine! If you want to attack, go ahead! I won’t join you!”
It seemed that she wouldn’t be involved in this.
But, in fact, the Black Knight never expected her to be either.
After so many days, he had already seen through this high-ranking Dore priestess with nothing but empty abilities.
If they wanted to capture Yellow Sand City and cleanse the shame of that Goblin, they had to rely on themselves!
Caran Royal City.
A large crowd had gathered in the square outside the palace gate. There were ordinary civilians, fully armed soldiers, as well as ragged beggars and refugees.
At this moment, they all shouted slogans in unison, throwing rotten vegetables and pieces of broken stones at the podium in the center of the square.
The most prominent feature there was a majestic and extremely sacred-looking Silver Dragon Statue, which seemed to have a calming effect on people just by looking at it.
However, at this moment, almost everyone’s attention was focused on the group of people who were bound and kneeling below the Silver Dragon Statue.
These people were nearly all overweight, bloated figures who were once high-ranking nobles in the Caran Royal City, but now they were criminals in the eyes of the Caran people.
Before this, they had been secretly plotting many things, but it was clear that Johnny was one step ahead, ultimately winning in the end.
Their private soldiers, servants, and foolish mercenaries had all been thoroughly wiped out, and they themselves would be squeezed for their last remaining value by Johnny.
The Bishop of the Holy Light Church, Johnny, stood on the podium with a sorrowful face, meticulously reciting the filthy crimes that these nobles once committed.
Sacred white light shone from his body, further contrasting the ugliness and evil of these Caran nobles.
Amid the noisy crowd chanting slogans, a beam of white light enveloped a trembling, fat man, who had already wet himself with fear.
Johnny looked at him with pity and sighed, “Sir Zed, do you now realize the sins you have committed?”
“Ah! Please don’t! I’ll give you a lot of money, just spare me!”
Seeing that Johnny was still unmoved, he shouted loudly, “I was wrong, I know I was terribly wrong
If you spare me, I will definitely correct all the mistakes I made before and become the most devout believer of the Holy Light Church!”
But Johnny paid no attention to him, instead turning to the still-angry crowd below, with incessant calls for the execution of the nobles.
The corners of his mouth slightly curved upward, but soon Johnny resumed his sacred and noble demeanor.
He raised his hands and gestured for the crowd below to be quiet, and the noisy square instantly fell silent.
“Now, let the great Holy Light Dragon God judge your sins!”
“No!”
The obese Sir Zed immediately let out a reluctant scream, only to be drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.
Then, the white light enveloping Sir Zed grew larger, and his figure began to disintegrate within the light.
In immense pain, the obese Sir Zed turned into white dust that floated in the air above the square, along with the filth he had left behind.
At this moment, an old beggar with ragged clothes and a shuffling gait reached out and caught a speck of the white dust.
Soon after, a touch of rosy color appeared on his pale face, and his entire body seemed to improve significantly in an instant.
Similar scenes occurred in various places around the square, further fueling the excitement of the crowd.
As the people chanted praises to the Holy Light Dragon God, pillars of light enveloped the panicked and crying nobles one by one.
And without a doubt, their future held the same fate as Sir Zed.
As more white dust fell around the square, the admiration and faith of the Caran people for the Holy Light Dragon God reached their peak.
At that moment, Johnny once again gestured for silence and the entire square quieted down.
“Believers of the Holy Light, your chance has come!
The great Dragon God has sent a divine oracle. He will choose the most devout amongst his followers to become his priests “
