The Sacred Weapon Snake King's Scepter shot out a beam of light towards the Syarian Highlands. However, there wasn't any intense collision as expected. Instead, it was silent for a long while. Cleopatra maintained a solemn expression after changing directions, as though she was using all her strength to control the Snake King's Scepter.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Snake King's Scepter's beam of light finally showed some reaction. Within a few inches, the entire Civilization Barrier was dyed a bewitching red, the same colour as the Snake King's Scepter's beam of light.
Furthermore, this bewitching wine red color continued to spread in all directions. From the size of a bowl, it increased to the size of a basketball, and then to the size of an arm's length. The area it covered was rapidly expanding, just like a small stone thrown into a calm lake. Ripples continued to spread to the surroundings.
"Break!"
Finally, when the bewitching red colour had expanded to a size that Sky City could pass through, Cleopatra shouted loudly. The beam of light from the Snake King's Scepter suddenly became several times thicker than before.
Suddenly, the area covered by the wine-red light was like a layer of ice that was about to melt. It slowly thinned and weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. The scenery behind it also gradually became clear again from the state of being distorted by the light waves.
In the end, the "ice layer" that had become very thin broke apart and quickly evaporated into nothingness, as if a gigantic halo had appeared in the sky. The view behind the civilization barrier had changed drastically through the halo.
A brownish-red Highlands appeared before their eyes, crisscrossing and boundless. It should be the Syarian Highlands!
"My brave warrior Yarunet, the Civilization Barrier can only be opened for 3 days. If we don't return in 3 days, we will be trapped in the Syarian Highlands for at least 10 years. Let's hurry and set off. "
After expending so much effort to open the Civilization Barrier, Cleopatra seemed to have exhausted all her energy. Her forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and her words were intermittent and gasping for breath. Even so, she still urged Yang Rui to hurry and set off. She wanted to retrieve her reinforcements within the limited time.
With regards to this, Yang Rui naturally wouldn't decline. He immediately controlled Sky City to fly towards the large hole in the Civilization Barrier. This time, there were no obstructions, and Sky City directly passed through.
The scenery in front of them changed again, and the entire Syarian Highlands appeared in front of Yang Rui and the rest. It was much clearer than before when they had seen it from the other side of the Civilization Barrier. Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Guo Jia and Xu You's attention was drawn to the Syarian Highlands.
The Syarian Highlands was completely barren, without any vegetation, there weren't any NPCs........ if it wasn't for Cleopatra's confirmation, it would have been hard to imagine that her troops would be here... Cleopatra's Her troops.
"My brave warrior, Yuride. Follow this direction.... Go Let's go.. fly fly to fly...
After a short period of observation, Cleopatra had confirmed the direction of her troops, and once again urged Yang Rui.
Yang Rui was very clear about the flying speed of Sky City. Previously, it had been able to cross the entire Japanese Civilization Barrier in 2-3 days, and that was under the condition that it wasn't flying at full speed. Now, a 3-day journey by horse wasn't a problem for Sky City.
However, Yang Rui still followed Cleopatra's advice. After passing through the Civilization Barrier, Yang Rui operated Sky City. Following Cleopatra's instructions, Sky City sped up.
Yang Rui also needed to help Cleopatra find her subordinates as soon as possible to complete the task of the Battle of Displacement. Thus, he could obtain the right to use the other sacred artifact in the Egyptian civilization area — the Orc Golden Statue with a Human Face. He needed to rush back to the Civilization Barrier.
At this moment, Yang Rui still had a question in his heart. Since the Sacred Artifact Snake King's Scepter could only open the Civilization Barrier once every 10 years, then how did Cleopatra manage to place her troops in the Syarian Highlands?
As this wasn't the crux of the matter, Yang Rui didn't spend too much time thinking about it. He only focused on operating Sky City, and flew towards the direction that Cleopatra had pointed out.
In the process of flying. Yang Rui was also thinking about the possible problems he might encounter in the Displacement Battle, as well as countermeasures.
From Cleopatra's words, Yang Rui had already understood. She had 300,000 troops in the Syarian Highlands, but he wasn't clear on the exact strength of these troops. Purely in terms of numbers, Cleopatra's forces weren't even as strong as the forces Yang Rui had brought to the Outland Tournament!
At this moment, Yang Rui had more than 400,000 troops of various grades in Sky City. Even though most of them were Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers, it was still a force to be reckoned with. Yang Rui also hoped that Cleopatra's 300,000 troops would be as strong as possible. That way, their chances of completing the Displacement Battle quest would be higher.
Of course, when Cleopatra entered Sky City, Yang Rui had already used the Four Symbols Maze to hide most of the areas where the troops were gathered. This included the NPCs of various civilizations that Yang Rui had rescued from Death Island. They had all been moved to one side of Sky City by Yang Rui.
Now it seemed that Cleopatra hadn't discovered the existence of Yang Rui's troops. After all, Sky City had already been upgraded to an advanced city, and its range was quite large. It was normal that Cleopatra hadn't noticed some areas. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to see through the effects of the Four Symbols Maze.
Military strength was only one aspect. When they truly faced off against Ptolemy XIII, they would probably have to use some strategy. Yang Rui had Guo Jia and Xu You, two high-grade military strategists, by his side. Yang Rui wasn't too worried about this. The key now was to retrieve Cleopatra's troops first.
Yang Rui controlled the Sky City to fly at an extremely fast speed, and after half a day, they had already arrived at their destination — the castle.
Before this, most of the areas that Sky City had passed through had been desolate and uninhabited. There were very few traces of NPC activity. Even if there were, they were only small villages. However, under Cleopatra's guidance, the castle suddenly appeared in front of Yang Rui and the others.
Looking at the position of the castle, there was a vast lowland behind it. Compared to the barren Syrisan Highlands along the way, this lowland was much more prosperous and fertile. From the top of Sky Castle, one could see many villages and towns within sight.
With such a rear base, it wasn't surprising that Cleopatra could gather three hundred thousand troops. (To be continued)
