As the prior fireworks exploded in the night sky, it was the warning signal launched by the Hidden Sand Ninja at the first line of defense, confirming an enemy invasion.
Soon after, the second firework also exploded in the air.
The enemy had broken through the second line of defense and was heading towards the command post.
Leading the Hidden Sand Ninja at the command post in preparedness was Rasa, whose expression slightly darkened.
The action was too fast.
The enemy seemed to completely disregard the two lines of defense he had set up outside, directly attacking the command post.
So, from what direction did the enemy attack, that they could disregard the two lines of defense in the outer perimeter? One could conclude the answer without much thought.
From the sky.
Indeed, above the second line of defense, two dark shadows swiftly charged toward the command post like meteors.
"Don't even think about getting through!"
Rasa clapped his hands and dashed forward, condensing a single-man platform made of Gold Sand under his feet, swiftly gliding towards the sky.
Behind him, a gigantic hand of Gold Sand broke free from the desert's restraints, viciously grabbing at the empty space ahead, as if to crush the invading enemy's body.
Thud!
The dull grabbing sound spread through the air.
The two figures shifted their flight paths left and right, scattering some golden sand from the sky, the Gold Sand hand only grabbing air.
Seeing his attack fail, Rasa didn't get discouraged, instead dispersing small strands of Gold Sand from the Gold Sand hand, like agile serpents chasing after one of the dark shadows.
The speed of the Gold Sand serpent transferring through the air was incredibly fast, like golden lightning, accompanied by a sharp squealing sound from the friction with the air.
Beside the pursued dark shadow, a light bullet appeared, colliding with an equally swift flight speed of the Gold Sand serpent.
Boom!
Intense fire scattered across the sky, the Gold Sand flying everywhere, completely shattered by the shock wave following the light bullet explosion.
Rasa stared intently and discovered that the enemy appearing in the night sky was not human, but a mechanical humanoid entirely reflecting a metallic sheen.
The Red Jade in its chest emitted a clear beeping sound, and its semi-round, seemingly simple head was flashing red lights, as if issuing a danger warning.
"What is this?"
This strange mechanical creation was the first of its kind Rasa had ever seen.
In any case, these things clearly did not belong to the normal category of living beings.
The Land of Demons truly is always able to create some peculiar battle tools.
As exhaust in changing colors was jetting from its back, Dominator 001 seemed to sense the danger from Rasa, moving to higher altitudes. During the transfer, the surrounding air started to distort, a phantom-like emergence of a large number of red light bullets, descending randomly on the desert in a shower-like manner.
Sand and dust flew, people and horses were thrown into chaos, and fabric tents burned to ashes within moments.
The Hidden Sand Ninja shouted curses unceasingly, quickly formulating a response.
Arrows were attached with Explosive Tags, and ballistae capable of long-range attacks were wheeled out, pointed at the sky, launching a counterattack on Dominator 001.
A series of explosions produced an extremely brilliant sea of fire, turning the night sky into daylight.
Soon after separating from Dominator 001, the Tennyo launched a raid towards the warehouse area of the Hidden Sand Command Center.
From the Tennyo's white sleeve fell a red Scroll, and without hesitation, it untied the string and opened the Scroll.
The Scroll was inscribed with densely packed incantations, surrounding the center held a conspicuous 'Fire' character.
The moment the Scroll was opened, the 'Fire' character contacted the external air and immediately combusted, the character shimmering with fiery brilliance.
Subsequently, weak flames started flickering in the air, as if trying to set the void on fire.
Without a fluctuation in expression, Tennyo generated a violent gust of wind, which engulfed the flames spewing from the void into the whirlwind.
With a trend akin to a wildfire spreading across a plain, the whirlwind turned bright red, spreading downwards over the endless sandy ground.
Under the lead of a fierce storm, terrifying flames ravaged the Hidden Sand Camp, consuming warehouse after warehouse storing supplies, causing the surrounding Hidden Sand Ninja's hearts to bleed.
The Hidden Sand Ninja stationed in the warehouse area were momentarily in a panic but were still unable to stop the spread of the flames.
The Hidden Sand, being in a defensive posture, had many aspects to consider. This was an extremely important warehouse area, and many violent measures couldn't be employed as they were constrained.
Boom!
In the midst of the raging fire, something explosive seemed to detonate inside the warehouse, giving rise to a terrifying explosion, making the fire spread faster. Some Hidden Sand Ninja couldn't dodge in time, getting engulfed by the flames. Emerging from it, their faces and bodies were charred black, appearing battered and exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Rasa immediately abandoned Dominator 001, without thinking, rushing directly towards the warehouse area.
Golden Sand gathered from all directions like a giant wave, surging towards the warehouse area, attempting to extinguish the raging fire consuming the warehouses.
Just as the wave of Gold Sand was about to extinguish the fire engulfing the warehouses, one light bullet after another pierced through layers of atmosphere, attacking from the sky.
The core of these light bullets was white, with an outer layer emitting scorching fiery light.
When these light bullets descended, they collided directly with the wave of Gold Sand.
Accompanied by terrifying explosive sounds, countless Gold Sand turned into golden dust scattering in the night sky, the dazzling golden light mingling with the searing fiery light, blinding to behold.
