The desert was a place where one could not see hope, but also endless despair.
Destroyed by darkness, reborn by protection.
The boundless yellow sand danced in the sky, as if it was a soul that had once been extinguished on this land. It wandered in all directions, with nowhere to return to.
This was also the place where Lu Yu had descended when he first came to this world.
In the desert, there was a bright pearl that was the most eye-catching-the Desert in the Clouds.
Currently, the three largest factions in the Cloudy Desert were Yucheng, the Protectorate, and the Thousand Caves City.
However, the Thousand Caves City had already been destroyed by the flames of war from the demonic seed, leaving behind only the broken statue of the sage and the library guarded by the successor.
Originally, the Cloudy Desert was the most dazzling area in the vast desert. There were many beautiful cities here, and it was also the center of trade brought about by the intersection of civilizations.
This place was once prosperous and prosperous. Various races traded with each other.
However, peace and beauty did not continue. Instead, they were completely shattered by the demon seed born from desire.
The flames of war destroyed the Cloud Desert. Not only did it take the lives of the people, but it also caused the civilization here to collapse.
The desert in the clouds was like a beautiful flower that instantly withered, leaving only an empty city.
It was only when the Great Wall Guards once again set foot on this piece of land that they once again brought light to this lost land in the name of protection.
The Great Wall Guards not only had the responsibility of guarding the Great Wall, but they also had the responsibility of protecting the Cloudy Desert.
The Protectorate was built by the army of Chang 'an to guard the Cloud Desert.
However, the protectorate headquarters would be invaded by the demonic seeds all year round and would be shrouded in smoke.
As for Hua Mulan, she had recently learned that the demon seeds that were active around the protectorate headquarters seemed to have become active, so she had led her troops here to observe the situation.
She only brought Lu Yu with her, while Kai and the others remained in the Great Wall.
As for why she only let Lu Yu be her follower,
This was quite intriguing.
A group of people and horses were moving in the vast desert, breaking through the wind.
"Lu Yu, do you still remember this endless desert?”
Hua Mulan suddenly asked as they were driving the horse.
As he did not know how to ride a horse, Lu Yu was lucky enough to sit on the same horse as Hua Mulan.
Feeling the faint fragrance in front of him, coupled with the fact that his hands were hugging the woman's waist for the first time, Lu Yu could not help but feel a little emotional. He did not even listen to what Hua Mulan said.
"Lu Yu? Lu Yu!"
Hua Mulan's tone became a little angry, but her face, which was covered by the silver helmet, did not show any change in expression.
"Ahhh, I'm here, I'm here."
Lu Yu quickly replied, his expression a little awkward.
"Let me ask you, do you still remember this desert?”
Hua Mulan asked the same question again.
"Of course I remember. This is the first time I wore it. It's the place where I first met you, Sister Mulan!”
Lu Yu said with a smile.
"It seems that your memory is not bad.”
Hua Mulan's tone seemed to be quite satisfied, but she immediately focused her attention on the car.
Soon, this group of people passed through the sandstorms and occasional hurricanes and arrived at the protectorate headquarters.
As the huge city appeared in front of them, the smoke of war rose at the same time.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill the demon seed!”
Hua Mulan was very sensitive to the smell of killing intent and the flames of war. She immediately sensed that the protectorate was in a bitter battle.
Pulling out her swords, the sharp sword light instantly cut through the flying sand around her. Hua Mulan took the lead and rushed to the front.
Lu Yu did not hesitate. He took down the Army Destroyer and followed Hua Mulan.
"Ding! [Side quest unlocked: Destroy the Demon Seed that invaded the Protectorate. Reward: 10000 gold coins. Physical Attack increased by 50 points!]”
Ten thousand gold coins?
That was good. After completing the mission, he would have enough money to open a new skill slot.
Lu Yu's fighting spirit was surging. Just like the Army Destroyer in his hand at this moment, it erupted with a terrifying aura.
At this moment, he was more experienced and stronger than when he was fighting the demon seed army. Therefore, he was not afraid this time and followed Hua Mulan to the battlefield.
As expected, when they arrived at the northern gate of the protectorate, they found the soldiers guarding the gate struggling to resist the demon seed.
"Kill them!"
With a clear cry like a crane's cry, Hua Mulan brandished her two swords. Her figure was light and fast as lightning. She first used the two displacement moves of the Space Splitter and quickly approached the demon seed. Then, she used the Splendor of the Dance and threw her light sword, directly taking the life of a demon seed.
"Good!"
Seeing that Hua Mulan had killed a demon seed in a lightning-like manner, Lu Yu's fighting spirit rose sharply. He executed the Last Stand and quickly approached the demon seed. Then, with a sweeping attack, he broke all the demon seeds around him at the waist.
The soldiers behind him also joined the battle. The guards who were originally fighting bitterly once again gathered their fighting spirit when they saw that there were more soldiers. They resisted with all their might.
There were not many demonic seeds attacking the north gate, and most of them were low-level demonic seeds. It was a piece of cake for Lu Yu and the others, and they were quickly eliminated.
"Phew, Lu Yu, not bad.”
Hua Mulan gently patted Lu Yu's shoulder as a form of praise and smiled.
"Ding! Hua Mulan's favorability increased by 20 points.”
Lu Yu could not wait to increase his favorability to 300 points so that he could build a relationship with him.
"Thank you! Without you, we might not be able to hold on!”
The remaining guards guarding the north gate bowed and thanked them. If Hua Mulan and the others had not arrived, they would have been doomed.
"Where is the general of your protectorate? Where did he go? Do you think the protectorate only has this little army?”
Hua Mulan asked. In fact, she had already felt an ominous feeling when she had just arrived at the protectorate headquarters.
"Because the demon seeds in the Cloud Desert have been active these few days, the general has led a team to the area ahead.”
The guard replied. The general's original purpose for this trip was to find out the truth about the active demon seed. However, he did not expect that the protectorate would be attacked by the demon seed as soon as he left.
"What about the other three gates in the east, west, and south?”
"The other three gates have probably already destroyed the demon seeds. Because the north gate is the weakest, the demon seeds are also the most powerful.”
As expected, after the guard finished speaking, the guards from the other three gates rushed over.
"Greetings, Captain!"
All the guards bowed respectfully to Hua Mulan. They all knew that this woman's reputation resounded throughout the entire desert.
