Artanis remained silent for a moment.

Su Bai's request was not excessive.

The desolate wilderness has endured the attacks of the vast majority of hybrid creatures, and the edge of the barren desert is inhabited only by some lower-level hybrids.

The number may be somewhat large, but in the face of orbital bombardment, quantity is precisely the most useless.

"Okay, I agree. I hope you won't go back on your word."

After Artanis agreed, he led the Protoss soldiers to warp into the air fleet.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's Black Tide offensive should be completely resolved, and he has not broken his promise to protect the barren desert.

The Spear of Adun rose into the clouds, and the massive ship moved to the misty region at the edge of the desolate desert.

Su Bai has withdrawn the Zerg army stationed in the desolate desert, and swarms of hybrid creatures have begun to appear in the mist.

In the desolate desert.

The subjugated human lords were utterly horrified to see countless hybrid creatures emerge from the mist.

Where did the Zerg army go?

"Could it be that Boss Su Bai is going to abandon our barren desert?"

"Quiet down, everyone look up at the sky, what's that!"

One of the human lords noticed the Spear of Adun emerging from the clouds.

The nearly 80-kilometer-long starship challenged the understanding of every lord.

The many lords who had submitted had no time to guess which force the giant ship that had descended upon the sky belonged to.

The Spear of Adun in the sky had already begun orbital bombardment and energy storage under Artanis's orders.

The fog belt, stretching for tens of kilometers, was utterly insignificant to the orbital bombardment of the Spear of Adun.

The energy storage lasted for half a minute.

Half a million low- to mid-level hybrid organisms have gathered on the surface.

The human lords awaited their fate in fear.

A beam of light, covering the entire narrow strip of mist, suddenly descended, tearing through the mist like a sharp sword.

The energy collision of the orbital bombardment turned countless boulders on the edge of the barren desert into dust in the wind.

Half a million hybrid creatures were also reduced to dust.

The precise orbital bombardment did not harm any human lords in the desolate desert.

This battle without gunfire ended very quickly.

After fulfilling Su Bai's request, Artanis piloted the Spear of Adun and disappeared back into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The crisis is over.

Looking at the empty and exceptionally safe desolate desert, the numerous vassal lords were bewildered.

"That was the Protoss fleet. They were invited by Boss Su Bai to protect our desolate desert!"

"I was thrilled to witness the battle in the desolate wilderness," said a lord who had witnessed it.

"I knew it! Boss Su Bai wouldn't abandon us!"

"I'm so damn stupid! I actually questioned Boss Su Bai just now, waaaaah!"

The lords of the desolate desert, who had survived the catastrophe, wept bitterly.

Logically speaking, given their strength, without Su Bai's protection...

Let alone the arrival of the Black Tide on the second day, they wouldn't be able to hold out even if the Black Tide arrived on the first day!

Thinking of this, they decided that they could not let Su Bai's deeds be buried, so they spontaneously entered the world channel.

[Hey, are there any lords still alive? I'm the lord of the Barren Desert, currently level 12, and I've survived two days of the Black Tide.]

His remarks were like igniting gunpowder in a haystack.

A few seconds later, countless comments from high-ranking lords and surviving mid-ranking lords flooded the screen.

Level 12? You're telling me a level 12 person survived for two days during the Black Tide? Is the hybrid creature your father or you? Why are you being so indulgent?

[Are you crazy? Is this a pro pretending to be a newbie? How could a level 12 creature survive for two days? Could you even beat a hybrid creature with one hand?]

[I am [xxxxxx], where did this [xxx] come from, making fun of everyone here?]

The world chat was filled with heated debate. All the lords who had experienced the attack by the hybrid creatures could not believe that a level 12 lord could still be alive.

That's a barren desert, not the sky!

Besides, is it absolutely safe in the sky?

But the emergence of even more desert lords caused the hearts of countless mid- to high-ranking lords to nearly stop.

I am also a lord of the desolate desert, level 11.

[Desert Lord +1, Level 18.]

Me too, level 20.

Uh, I just arrived, level 3, also a Lord of the Barren Desert.

[...]

【???????????】

Countless question marks flooded the screen.

Although it looked like a drama, without exception, all the lords who spoke had their addresses displayed as the Barren Desert.

Is it haunted?!

[What kind of paradise is this desolate desert? How can a low-level lord survive and still have the leisure to browse the world chat?!]

[Heavens above! Just kill me with one sword! My level 80 territory is now down to me, all alone. These low-level lords are completely unharmed! Is there any justice left?!]

[Damn it, don't you have any mist in your desolate desert? Where are the hybrid creatures? Are they playing mahjong?]

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

Countless lords felt as if they had been punished by the heavens.

The lord of the desolate desert quickly provided an explanation.

[The desolate desert is indeed shrouded in mist, stretching for tens of kilometers, and teeming with half a million hybrid creatures.]

But we have the great Su Bai!

[Boss Su Bai promised that as long as a certain amount of resources were handed over each month, one could receive his protection.]

[Security can be obtained in exchange for some resources—it's an incredibly good deal!]

[Is Su Bai really that strong? I remember he also has the Desolate Wilderness to protect, guarding two regions by himself??]

A high-ranking lord felt his worldview was about to shatter.

He can't even protect his own territory, yet Su Bai is expected to guard two regions?

[Of course, Su Bai eliminated 400,000 hybrid creatures on the first day.]

[The following day, they successfully repelled the attacks of the Marauders and Destroyers, and Su Bai even received aid from the Protoss fleet.]

[Do you know about the Protoss Golden Fleet? A single orbital bombardment from those massive ships, over seventy kilometers long, reduced the entire edge of the desolate desert, along with half a million hybrid creatures, to ashes!]

Our barren desert is now incredibly safe!

Whether the security measures will actually fail is unknown, but the mid-to-high-ranking lords who read the message are already bursting with envy.

How could Su Bai be so monstrous?

How could this little chicken in the desolate desert be so lucky?

Why am I so unlucky?

[I must be dreaming. The Black Tide, Su Bai—it's all fake, all fake!]

One of the lords in the world chat has already gone mad.

But soon, a sudden system announcement slapped him in the face.

[Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Su Bai of the Dragon Kingdom for successfully eliminating the hybrid monsters within his territory!]

[Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Su Bai of the Dragon Kingdom for triggering the special achievement "The Safest Territory"!]

[Announcement: Exclusive rewards have been distributed. Lord Su Bai of the Dragon Kingdom, please check your account!]
