The war had begun!
No, it couldn't be called a war. It was a purge of the Sandworms and the liberation of the various oasis kingdoms.
When the blood-red full moon shone brightly in the sky, giant mechanical devices floating in the air were scattered all over the world. These wizards, who specialized in cleaning up the Sandworms in the desert and enslaving and educating the royal families of the various oasis kingdoms, became the rulers of the Sandstorm World.
"Sir, Master, this is all the Sand Crystals we have, wuwuwuwu …"
In the Seabuckthorn Forest Village where Grimm was, a group of soldiers surrounded the farmers and threatened them to hand over all the Sand Crystals.
As a well-known wealthy village, the Seabuckthorn Forest Village naturally had a lot of Sand Crystals. After the meaning of water as a natural equivalent was weakened, Sand Crystals became the new natural equivalent and became the property of people when they traded goods.
Behind this group of soldiers, apart from a group of aristocrats dressed in luxurious clothes, the most eye-catching one was a sorceress riding on a Steel Tooth Bristle. She was feeding the behemoth local fruits while loading a large number of Sand Crystals collected by the soldiers into a spatial magic device.
Demon-Hunting expeditions often lasted for decades or even hundreds of years. Sorcerers had plenty of time to collect all kinds of valuable materials and energy crystals and smoothly spread the rules of Sorcerer Coins.
Her index finger was playing with a top-grade Sand Crystal collected by the Seabuckthorn Forest Village. It was a level-3 Sand Crystal, which contained enough energy to drive a fifteen-meter Desert Boat for a few months. It was equivalent to a top-grade Sorcerer Stone in the Sorcerer World.
"According to the standard of this world, level-5 Sand Crystals are called Desert Crystals. The energy inside is equivalent to at least a thousand top-grade Sorcerer Stones. Although the natural resources of this world are backward and there aren't many ruins that can be excavated, it is a natural mineral deposit of high-grade energy crystals. In the Wizard Alliance, other than artificial synthesis, there are only a few worlds that can produce such high-grade crystals."
"Who is this level-3 Sand Crystal?"
The sorceress did not even look at the gathered farmers. She seemed to be talking to the air, but her voice was heard by everyone present.
However, people were already frightened by the power of the six to seven meters long and more than two meters high steel needle bristles under the Sorceress. Such a big guy, wouldn't it be able to swallow people in one bite?
Even the well-dressed nobles did not dare to utter a single word.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Grimm, who was beside Millie, slowly walked out. As the village chief of Buckthorn Village, he also pretended to be trembling in fear.
"It's me, but this crystal is the common wealth of the village."
The sorceress glanced at Grimm, who was pretending to be an old farmer. She did not see anything special, so she ignored him. She casually pointed at the pile of Sorcerer Coins on the ground and said, "In the whole world, there is no land of Sorcerer. In the land, there is no minister of Sorcerer. Remember, from now on, the Sorcerer is the supreme ruler of this world. The first supreme law that the Sorcerer promulgated is to abolish all natural equivalents. Everyone can only use Sorcerer Coins when doing business. Those who violate the law, their villages and streets will be punished. "
"I know, I know. I will remember everything and listen to the Sorcerer's arrangements."
Grimm looked very frightened, and the Sorcerer was very satisfied.
"Hmph, Sorcerer Coins are the symbol of the Sorcerer's will. You can use these Sorcerer Coins to fulfill any wish. Remember, any wish! Of course, fulfilling wishes requires a lot of Sorcerer Coins. Go, work hard to earn more Sorcerer Coins! "
After a while, the Sorcerer led a large group of people to the next village, leaving behind the legend of Sorcerer Coins.
The villages that the Sorcerer chose were not randomly chosen. They were relatively wealthy villages like the Buckthorn Forest Village.
As the village chief, Grimm was about to share the glittering sorcerer coins with the villagers after the large group of people had left. Although the villagers did not know the specific purpose of these sorcerer coins, they had lost so many sand crystals and would not be able to find a place to live in the future. Hence, they could only temporarily use these sorcerer coins to comfort themselves.
At this moment, a soldier sneakily ran over, followed by Wen Feng's merchants.
"Hey, I will use these Sand Fruit Noodles and Salt to exchange for your Sorcerer Coins."
Other than a few cautious villagers, most of the villagers did not know the value of the Sorcerer Coins. The Sorcerer Coins in their hands were quickly cheated by the soldiers and merchants.
…
It was probably because the oasis country that Grimm and Millie were in was too remote in this world. Other than a few Sorcerers passing by, there were no other strange things.
Just like that, time passed, and five years had passed.
Finally, even near the oasis where Grimm and Millie were, a large number of Sorcerers began to appear, exterminating the Sandworms in the Sandstorm World!
* Rumble … *
The soldiers, farmers, and workers raised their heads to look at the sky, their mouths wide open. They were simply speechless, completely dumbfounded.
A Void Mothership that was more than two thousand meters long, in addition to dozens of voidships that were close to a hundred meters long, and countless small triangular-winged fighters crisscrossed. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. With the Void Mothership as the center, the triangular-winged fighters controlled by the Mechanical Sorcerers flew everywhere.
"What, what is that? A desert ship flying in the sky? It's so big! "
The soldier was rather knowledgeable. Using his imagination to the best of his ability, he made an association with the sci-fi battleship that was more than two thousand meters long. Even though it was thousands of meters high in the sky, the incomparable pressure had already reached him. The sound waves in the air caused the sand dunes to tumble down from high places, and the wind and sand flew everywhere.
The old farmer staggered and couldn't stand steadily. After struggling for a while, he sat down on the ground.
"What a sin, they are enraging the sleeping Sandworm King. They will receive their retribution, and we will also be implicated and buried in the sea of sand, sob sob sob sob …"
The people of the Sandstorm World had a deep-rooted fear of the Sandworms.
Since ancient times, the Sandworms had been at the top of the food chain in the Sandstorm World, the source of fear in the Sandstorm World. Even the powerful Oasis Kingdom, after losing the protection of the oasis' water source, was extremely weak in front of the Sandworms. Although almost no one had seen the Sandworm King with their own eyes, it had become a terrifying legend that was passed down by word of mouth.
The people were already used to the natural laws of this world, and were filled with fear towards the new natural laws. It was the natural laws that the Sorcerers would replace the Sandworms and rule over the world!
Compared to the commoners who had lost their heads out of fear, the nobles of the royal family had long been prepared for this day due to their contract with the Magi. Under the protection of the soldiers, they climbed up to the observation tower and looked at the gradually expanding Magus army in the sky above the desert. Their hearts were in turmoil.
