Boom!
Skylar’s face changed dramatically. She hastily lifted the curtain and, looking at the commanding general in black who was hovering in front of the carriage, asked urgently, “How far away are they?”
“The army of demon beasts just left the territory of the Seraphym Dynasty, but they’re moving fast and will probably arrive in about three or four days.”
Upon hearing this, Skylar’s expression became even more anxious. She quickly whispered to Madd beside the carriage, “March as usual for now. Once we‘re a bit further from the Royal City, switch to a rapid march.”
When Skylar’s 250,000-strong army was about a hundred kilometers away from the kingdom, Skylar, holding Esther, flew out of the carriage.
Along with commanding generals like Madd, quickly headed toward the Black Desert.
The 250,000-strong army below also started to accelerate their march, abandoning all carriages and some of the Storm Chasers along the way.

Two days later, Skylar, accompanied by 10,000 personal guards, arrived a hundred kilometers away from the Kingdom of Northwing’s border to meet up with Elon.
The remaining 240,000 troops were placed under the command of Madd and Bill, stationed just outside the boundary line of the Kingdom of Northwing.
A massive army of 250,000 soldiers was now split into five formations, blocking the entrance to the Kingdom of Northwing.
Elan, who was hovering in mid-air, saw Skylar rapidly approaching with 10,000 elite soldiers.
Seeing this, his tense expression relaxed a bit.
“What’s going on? How did it happen so quickly?” Skylar asked urgently as favonovel.com flew over to Elon with Esther in favonovel.com arms.
Elon shook his head, his expression extremely serious, and said, “I sent out a hundred spies, and only six of them came back. They reported that the demon beast army now exceeds 150,000…”
“150,000?” Skylar was momentarily stunned.
“If I’m not mistaken, they must have gathered many demon beasts within the Seraphym Dynasty again. Moreover, they fought their way down from the north to the south, leaving almost nothing in their wake… Fortunately, Emperor Bazeel is eager to wipe us out, so most of the cities haven’t been invaded or damaged yet…”
“How are things going in the Kingdom of Northwing?” Elon asked while looking at Skylar.
Skylar let out a cold snort and said, “People are never satisfied. Coraline may be physically here with us, but favonovel.com heart is elsewhere… Who knows, favonovel.com might be trying to take advantage of the chaos. If our forces fall, favonovel.com could just go and become the Empress.”
Upon hearing this, Elon sighed and said, “It really is true that everyone jumps on the bandwagon when someone is down.”
“Stop talking and get ready to fight. My army of half a million is ready, knowing we may never return.” Skylar looked down at the dense crowd of soldiers below and spoke with a serious expression.
Since it wasn’t the first time fighting against the demon beast army, and after the last battle in Westpire City, Skylar immediately sent Barlow back to the Kingdom of Vriweth.
The Weapons Department under the command of the general’s mansion was preparing new weapons tailored to the characteristics of demon beasts.
Currently, with an army of 500,000 soldiers, most of them had been equipped with a nearly ten-meter-long weapon made from an extremely light but hard mineral, topped with a roughly one-meter-long spike.
Even ordinary soldiers could raise their hands and strike down demon beasts from ten meters away. Moreover, the spikes were extremely sharp and could easily penetrate anything except the thickest of beast armor.
Sleepless through the night, over 200,000 troops were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the demon beast army.
However, the next morning, there wasn’t any sight of a sky filled with dust from the north, nor was there a tremendous shaking of the ground.
Skylar and Elon, along with seven or eight commanding generals and several hundred lieutenants, were floating in mid-air while staring intently ahead.
