The desert where the White Stone Corridor is located is called the 'Great Desert of Tarikivia'. Tarikivia means 'Garden of Death' in the local language.
The Second War of the Foreign Gods, which was triggered by the Church of War, changed the environment, turning the area that was originally dominated by plateaus, rivers and plains into a large desert.
The climate here is dry and hot all year round. Although there are several underground rivers running through the desert, forming several small oases, other areas are not suitable for living except for the area around the Castle of War.
The rainfall deep in the desert is only a pitiful 90 to 400 mm per year, making it difficult for organisms in this area to survive. Only the most tenacious creatures can live in the desert.
It was daytime at this time. Two black spots appeared on a pile of sand. They slid down the sand pile and walked among the rocks, using the shadows of the rocks to avoid the sunlight.
Even so, the hot air waves still came in waves. An ordinary person would probably be sweating profusely and having a dry mouth by now.
"This is the 'Dragon Tooth Stone Forest'." The traveler leading the way stopped and pointed to the stone forest standing in the desert in the distance. From a distance, it looked like sharp teeth sticking out of the ground and pointing to the sky.
"Let's rest here. The people from the Wargod Castle should be here soon." said the man at the back who was wearing a cloak, a sand-proof goggles, and even had a scarf wrapped around his face.
So the two of them found a rock several meters high and rested in the shadow behind the rock. They took off their hoods, untied their scarves, and drank water. They were Tianyang and Mihawk.
After they met up at the settlement last night, they entered the desert today. On the way here, they saw ruins of buildings covered by sand from time to time, which showed that those ruins were inhabited in the past, but as the scope of the desert expanded, they were gradually swallowed up.
The Dragon's Tooth Stone Forest is the meeting point agreed upon by Tianyang and the Ares Castle army. According to the information provided by Mihawk, this place is far away from Elhoin's surveillance network, and the environment of the stone forest can serve as a good concealment, so Tianyang set the meeting point here.
Not long after, a convoy was seen entering the Dragon Tooth Stone Forest. The vehicles were camouflaged, with gray-brown mottled paint on the bodies. If it weren't for Tianyang's excellent eyesight, it would have been easy to overlook it with a quick glance.
After entering the stone forest, the convoy quickly separated and clearly formed a formation that could defend against attacks. Then the car doors opened one by one, and officers and soldiers jumped out one after another.
Among them, two people are particularly eye-catching.
They were a man and a woman, both young people from Western Land.
The young man was in his early 30s and looked quite ordinary. He had squinted eyes and a smile on his lips, and seemed easy to get along with.
The woman was about twenty-four or twenty-five, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Her facial features made her look particularly charming, but her eyes were very cold, blending into a dangerous and strange aura.
What caught Tianyang's attention was not their appearance but their aura. Although these two looked young, their aura was not weak at all.
The man's aura was filled with the breath of storm and thunder, while the lady's aura was filled with a sense of dominance and strength. It was obvious that the former was the Heart of Elements, and the latter was at the God of War level.
Tianyang also released his aura slightly, and the two people immediately sensed it and looked towards Tianyang.
"let's go."
Tianyang took Mihawk with him and walked forward calmly.
In the traffic jam of Ares Castle, the blond-haired, blue-eyed female colonel said expressionlessly, "That's a member of the Thunder Council. Sure enough,
Very young, I never thought that a guy who looks younger than me could solve the previous bacterial incident. "
The squinty-eyed young man next to him said with a smile: "Ivana, don't tell me you want to fight him. I have to remind you that I heard that not long ago in the Waste Scavenger City, even the 'Justice' couldn't get any benefits from him."
"Domerinte, don't you know what kind of person that 'Justice' is? If he wasn't lucky enough to be promoted to rank 7, he would be just a decent colonel in our fortress." Ivana sneered, her voice full of disdain for Wang Lingjun.
Her companion, the man called Domelint, reminded her, "We are just a decent colonel. Whether you admit it or not, being able to successfully advance to rank 7 is a lucky thing. And luck is always a kind of strength."
Not knowing whether these words had moved the female colonel, Ivana fell into deep thought. It was not until Tianyang and the other man entered the stone forest that she came to her senses after being reminded by her companions.
"They're coming," Domelint said, and then gestured to separate the soldiers and vehicles in front.
Tianyang and Mihawk passed through this "passage" and arrived directly beside the two colonels. Then, the "passage" he passed through quickly closed again.
Domelint had already read Tianyang's information, so he would not mistake him. Moreover, the aura released by Tianyang was as strong as a storm and difficult to grasp. People might make mistakes, but it was almost impossible to impersonate someone with such a unique aura.
When Tianyang and the other man came, he immediately bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tianyang."
"Good afternoon, who are you?"
Tianyang fell on the epaulettes of their uniforms and knew that they were colonels of the War God Castle.
"Domelint."
"This is Ivana."
"We are here with 500 soldiers under the order of the city lord to assist Mr. Tianyang. Where are Mr. Tianyang's men?"
Domelint squinted his eyes and looked around, but did not see anyone from Tianyang.
Tian Yang said calmly: "In order to conceal the eyes and ears of Elhoin this time, I don't plan to use the personnel I have."
Ivana immediately sneered: "Mr. Tianyang's calculations are really loud. He didn't send anyone out, but asked our fortress to send 500 elite soldiers."
Tianyang raised his head and glanced at her.
Domelint immediately said in a low voice: "Ivana, watch your words and your position."
Tianyang raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he didn't care, then smiled and said, "Although I didn't invest any manpower, I am here."
Ivana was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the meaning of Tianyang's words.
The young congressman apparently meant to say that he alone could defeat an army.
One man is worth a thousand!
Domelint smiled and said, "Mr. Tianyang, what is your plan next?"
Tianyang raised his head, used his hand to block the scorching sun, and said calmly: "Wait."
"We'll act after the sun sets."
Night slowly fell over the desert. At night, the temperature in the desert dropped drastically. The situation was better in the White Stone Corridor. Although it was cold, at least there were gray rocks blocking the night wind, and it also allowed Elhoin's warriors to make a fire to keep warm.
Behind a tall white rock, several soldiers were lighting a brazier. Since the fire was blocked by the rock, they were not afraid of being discovered.
The average age of these warriors was around 25 or 26. They all wore cloaks with soft armor underneath.
The bottom layer of combat uniform is often wrapped with layers of cloth strips to effectively prevent the loss of body temperature.
They were the sentinels at the edge of the White Stone Corridor, led by a middle-aged man in his forties. This middle-aged man was as strong as a bear, with thick hair and beard, and a hideous scar on his face. He picked up a piece of beef that was roasting on the fire with his bare hands, tore off a strip of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it until the gravy overflowed.
"Captain, why did Mr. Hann withdraw all three Wolf Fang formations?"
"I haven't heard about any big deals we're going to make recently."
A young warrior with a sharp look in his eyes added some firewood to the brazier, and then put another piece of bloody beef on the grill above.
The captain glanced at him, threw him a small piece of beef and said, "It's none of your business. I'll say it again, let's talk less and do more. This way we can live longer."
The soldier who received the beef thanked him with a big smile on his face, and then sighed: "It's been a long time since we went back to the fortress. I really envy those people in 'Wolf Fang'."
The captain sneered, "Envy? There are three formations: Blood Fang, Black Fang, and Venom Fang. Which one can you join? What's the point of just being envious? Why not do more work, earn more money, and find a woman when you retire and live a peaceful life."
"Captain, how can people like us live a peaceful life?" The young soldier smiled and put the beef into his mouth, biting the part that was not fully roasted, and blood splattered everywhere.
Suddenly, he saw a flash of silver light on the captain's neck, as if something was reflecting the firelight.
"Hey, captain, there's something on your neck." The young soldier had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that his field of vision had suddenly risen and he could even see the top of the captain's head.
Then I saw the heads of my companions around me suddenly separated from their bodies and jumped into the air at the same time.
Finally, even the captain who was sitting next to him had his head jumping up and down, and he even moved his mouth up and down, chewing beef...
With a series of light noises, six heads fell to the ground one after another and rolled to the side. After a while, their headless bodies began to spray streams of blood from their necks.
After the bodies fell one after another, a figure floated up from the ground, and finally, a man wearing ancient armor stood next to the brazier. The armor on his body turned into thick black mist and dissipated, revealing Tianyang's figure.
He took out a communicator and sent a message. Not long after, a shadow appeared at the intersection ahead. It was Mihawk leading the people from the War God Castle.
Looking at the corpse beside Tianyang, Mihawk's expression did not change, but Domelint and Ivana were slightly moved.
They thought it was not difficult to kill such a team of sentinels, but it was difficult to do it quietly like Tianyang. They didn't know what method Tianyang used to approach these people silently. You know, the location of these sentinels is very insidious. Due to the surrounding environment, these sentinels can detect intruders at the first time, but the intruders cannot immediately detect their presence.
Mihawk whispered, "If Hann hadn't changed the sentry points, there would be 28 sentry points distributed throughout the White Stone Corridor, with four to six sentries at each point, covering all the necessary routes to the White Stone Base."
Tianyang glanced at the corpses on the ground and said, "It's okay. I will get rid of them all."
