Chapter 911: United Efforts

The wind swept over the desert, lifting grains of sand that danced through the air. The Sphinx adjusted its position slightly, positioning itself between Robb, the Hero King, and the Queen. In the instant that the swirling sands reached the Sphinx, they were absorbed, no longer disturbing the three dignitaries engaged in their discussion.

Robb turned his head to glance at the Sphinx, then lowered his gaze to the respectful figures of Motra and the rebel leaders standing beside the Sphinx. He couldnt help but smile and quip, Actually, the true Pharaoh of the Desert Kingdom should be you, this lion. Those other so-called Pharaohs were just passing through. Only you have been the constant guardian of this desert.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

The Sphinx retorted with a touch of irritation, First, you call me a lion, then you call me a person. Do you have to be this capricious?

Well, you are a lion with a human face, so technically, youre both lion and person. Im not wrong, Robb casually replied with a grin. He then added, And heres a song for the guardian of the desert: Only I, guarding the desert, await the blossoming'

Surprisingly, the Sphinx understood the language of Big Tang. It wasnt for nothing that it had been a guardian beast for countless years. As it listened to the lyrics, it found itself captivated.

Robb chuckled, Alright! Now that besides Big Tang, the most weighty leaders of this continent are all here, we can finally sit down and have a serious discussion.

The Queen gave him a sidelong glance and quipped, The small sesame-sized kingdoms can be overlooked, but the Big Tang is a superpower. Arent you going to invite them?

No need, Robb said. Nobody understands those guys better than I do. Theyre super tricky, with personalities just as trollish as mine. Ignoring them is the best policy; otherwise, we might accidentally turn rabbits into fierce beasts.

The Queen remained perplexed, not understanding his words, but she also wasnt interested in dwelling on the matter.

With a serious tone, the Hero King said, Godfather, please tell us what you want to discuss.

He pointed to the northeast at the Jinghong Mountains, saying, I followed the adventurers and took a look beneath the mountain where the Black Dragon resides. The peak it lives on soars into the clouds and is covered in snow. Its not difficult for a small group of adventurers to climb a mountain like that, but we will need to ascend with a large army, which complicates matters significantly.

Both leaders furrowed their brows upon hearing this. Thats right! Sending a large army up a mountain is quite challenging.

Robb explained, So, it requires the two leaders to cooperate closely. Before the next year of the Black Dragons flight arrives, we must first conquer the natural hazards of this mountain and build a pathway for the army to ascend.

Clearing a path in the face of obstacles and overcoming challenges. For the two kings, this task wasnt particularly difficult. Throughout their long careers in warfare, they had led their forces to carve out countless paths. After all, werent engineers meant for tasks like this?

However, the Jinghong Mountains were no ordinary place. Unlike other locations, the terrain was treacherous, and it was teeming with monsters. Thinking of blithely constructing a pathway straight to the perilous peak, the leaders realized it wasnt going to be as easy as they had initially thought.

The two exchanged a glance, then spoke simultaneously, We will simultaneously deploy forces from both the north and south directions, entering the mountainous region to eliminate the monsters within the Jinghong Mountains. Once weve cleared the area of these creatures, well start constructing the road for the army to ascend. There are still several years left until the next year of the Black Dragons flight, so we have enough time to prepare.

The Sphinx also chimed in, My Desert Kingdom will participate as well. Well deploy forces from the southwestern direction of the Jinghong Mountains and enter to eradicate the monsters.

All the western nations of the Fengmo Continent were finally coming together to jointly launch an expedition to cleanse the mountains of monsters. This could be considered a historic moment. The minds of the kings were suddenly filled with a strange feeling: Why didnt we do this earlier? Weve had the capability to do so for a long time. Have we been foolish?

No! Its not that they were foolish, but rather they were too clever! Their cleverness had been directed toward power struggles and personal gains, rather than being channeled into wisdom.

If it werent for the appearance of Godfather, if he hadnt used his power and kindness to quell the wars between the three countries, to reunite humanity, they might still be locked in endless conflict.

At last, human strength had been unified. They were determined to create a true epic, to slay the malevolent dragon that had plagued them for centuries.
