Overall, the Upper Martial Realm was much larger than Earth, though Isaac didn’t know exactly how much larger.
Judging by the scale on the map, the Black Desert was as large as hundreds of kilometers wide from north to south. It was over 1,000 miles long from east to west and lay between the Kingdom of Northwing and the Kingdom of Easteria.
Isaac, enveloped in golden spiritual energy, was flying swiftly toward the northwest at high altitude.
Setting off from the Kingdom of Northwing, favonovel.com could reach the edge of the Black Desert after flying for a day. After that, favonovel.com would need to elevate his flight altitude.
Clyfford assigned himself the “task” of killing the enemy’s commander, Elon Ramirez. Even if Isaac didn’t think anything, favonovel.com knew it was nearly an impossible feat.
That was an individual who could compel the commander of the Kingdom of Vriweth to lead soldiers into battle and yet find himself in a passive and trapped situation. It implied more about Elon’s military prowess than his strength.
His strategic skills undoubtedly surpassed those of all the generals in the Kingdom of Vriweth. So, the first solution Isaac came up with was to meet with Zeno and ask favonovel.com to send soldiers to break through the encirclement.
When conflict broke out, both sides would take action. Only by doing that could Isaac find an opportunity to strike amidst the enemy’s movements.
To meet Zeno, favonovel.com must infiltrate the enemy lines of the Kingdom of Easteria’s army, which had already surrounded the outskirts of the hilly region.
Kyler said that favonovel.com must fly over three kilometers above to avoid the enemy outposts.
***
In the sky over three miles, the wind speed was extremely high, and the oxygen was thin. Even an intermediate-stage Divine Phase expert found it difficult to do it.
Isaac could pass through it, but it required a significant amount of spiritual energy.
After dawn, favonovel.com was almost at the border of the Kingdom of Northwing. He found an inn in a remote state government to rest for a while before continuing his journey.
In the afternoon, Isaac departed from the inn.
By dusk, while flying through the air, favonovel.com started to notice that the villages along the way were becoming fewer. When favonovel.com looked up and gazed into the distance, favonovel.com saw ground that was a dark, ashen color.
As favonovel.com reached the boundary, favonovel.com felt a stir in his heart. He intensified his control over his body’s spiritual energy and began to ascend.
The reason it was called the Black Desert was because the soil here contained a large amount of black sand.
It mixed with the soil to form a gray-black color, making it unsuitable for vegetation and cultivation. Thus, it turned into a barren land.
About an hour after Isaac entered the Black Desert, favonovel.com suddenly noticed smoke rising in the distance to his left. Upon closer inspection, favonovel.com saw a group of around 3,000 people, all dressed in black armor, camped together.
After seeing the group stationed below, who seemed to be making a fire to cook, Isaac ascended to a higher altitude and hovered in the air, keeping a close watch on the scene below.
At an altitude of over three miles, favonovel.com couldn’t see the specific features of those soldiers, but favonovel.com could make out that they were wearing black armor.
They were the enemies, the Black Tiger Legion!
Isaac quickly made a judgment because Kyler had mentioned that the army led by Zeno was called the Purple-Blue Legion, also known as the Vriweth Legion.
In the Kingdom of Easteria, Elon was granted the title of Black Tiger General, which was why his army was called the Black Tiger Legion.
People from the Kingdom of Easteria generally had tanned skin compared to those from the Kingdom of Vriweth. That was because they received more sunlight, resulting in more tanned skin. Additionally, they hold martial arts in high regard.
The biggest difference was that, in the Kingdom of Vriweth, the three top officials consisted of one from the civil administration and two from the military.
Giffard served as the head of the Cabinet, while the two military representatives were the Regent, Clyfford, from the Guardian Division, and Zeno from the General’s mansion.
In the Kingdom of Easteria, the three highest-ranking officials were all military generals.
It wasn‘t surprising to see the Black Tiger Legion’s soldiers. What was surprising was that they were already close to the Kingdom of Northwing. It was likely less than 150 kilometers from the northern borders of the Kingdom of Northwing.
However, judging by the size of this group, it didn’t appear to be a combat unit. They appeared more like conducting a reconnaissance mission.
After observing for a while, Isaac swiftly flew toward the northwest again.
During the subsequent flights, favonovel.com maintained an altitude of over three miles above. Amidst the hurricane and the thin air, favonovel.com needed to utilize a strong flow of spiritual energy to ensure stable and high-speed flight.
