The following morning, the Three Bloody Moons shone brighter than usual, marking a new day.
Their crimson light bathed the Bleeding Desert, making the endless dunes appear even more scarlet than before.
Perhaps, a new history was about to be made.
On the Scorpion City wall, the Scorpion Guards stood straight, their faces riddled with tension.
Every guard tightly gripped his weapon while constantly observing the vast army gathered outside the city.
Throughout the night, they had been on high alert. Many didn't even dare blink too much as they were afraid the enemy might launch a surprise attack under the cover of darkness.
But to their surprise and relief, nothing happened throughout the night.
Staring at the two thousand Horn Lizard soldiers who were back on their feet as if ready to launch an assault.
The previous relief on their faces vanished, and thick tension gripped their hearts.
