Racing over the dunes, the Scorpion Palace guards rode their mounts, their expressions ugly.
Their mounts kicked up clouds of crimson sand as they charged across the desert without slowing down, moving with a sense of urgency they had never experienced before.
The Palace Captain wore a grim expression, his eyes scanning the dunes with seriousness.
His sharp gaze swept across every hill and valley, unwilling to overlook even the slightest trace that might reveal what had happened to the Scorpion Clan army.
'What is going on?' His thoughts raced.
Confusion and uneasiness slowly filled his heart as countless possibilities flashed through his mind, yet none of them seemed capable of explaining the current situation.
This was the first time they had been dispatched into the desert.
And for what?
To look for their army.
Such an order was unheard of, making every member of the palace guards realize the gravity of the situation.
