Chapter 146

There were no crops in the fields.

"The Centaur tribe has mostly fled!"

Some members of the Eight Tribes also voiced their guesses!

The Lion tribe's scouts searched the entire Centaur territory but found not a single Centaur.

"Search westward—west is the Fox tribe's territory; the Foxes are nothing but a tiny tribe no bigger than a thumb. If they dare stand in our way, we'll crush them effortlessly—ask them if they've seen the Centaurs!"

Aldington said coldly.

The Lion tribe's scouts entered the Fox tribe's territory.

The Fox tribe's territory was not large.

For the past few months, even the Black Fox clan, after deepening their faith in Lin Yan, had all relocated to the Sacred Wasteland and joined the construction of the City of Miracles.

Thus, in the Fox tribe's original territory, these Lion scouts found not a single Fox either.

Under Aldington's orders, the Lion tribe's scouts continued searching westward.

"Isn't west that poisoned wasteland crawling with venomous insects? Could the Centaurs really have ventured into that toxic wasteland?"

Three Lion scouts ran westward, speaking among themselves.

"Given what we've seen so far, it's actually possible—where else could they have gone?"

Another Lion scout said.

These three Lion scouts moved quickly; not long after, they passed through the forest—and then…

They saw an endless plain!

"When did a plain appear here?"

One Lion scout exclaimed in surprise.

"This should be the Toxic Wasteland! Look at it—this place has been completely burned clean, turned into a plain; the soil here is all black, so fertile!"

"Look!"

At that moment, the third Lion scout tugged at the other two; its mouth had opened into an "O."

The other two Lion scouts looked—and saw, at the plain's edge, just over ten kilometers away, a vast and majestic great city!

Instantly, the mouths of these two Lion scouts also opened into "O" shapes!

"What? A great city appeared in the Toxic Wasteland? Are you lying?"

Upon hearing this news, Aldington's first reaction was disbelief—he immediately summoned the three Lion scouts for questioning.

The three Lion scouts hurriedly said: "Prince Aldington, how would we dare deceive you? There truly is a city there—it's enormous, probably even larger than our Wang Cheng…"

The three Lion scouts vied to describe the appearance of the city they had seen.

"Larger than our Wang Cheng? If you're lying to me, your heads will roll!"

Aldington still didn't quite believe it.

"Our Wang Cheng took decades to build to its current scale; no city in the entire nation rivals it—not even some human kingdoms' cities compare to ours. Yet you three claim that city is bigger than our Wang Cheng? Are you joking?"

Beside him, the ten princes who had come along also disbelieved, each chiming in with their own opinions.

"Report, Prince Aldington! Scouts report a great city has appeared in the Toxic Wasteland!"

"Report, Prince Aldington…"

At that moment, two more waves of scouts brought news.

Both reported the same thing.

A great city had appeared in the Toxic Wasteland!

Soon, the news spread, reaching the ears of the Eight Tribes who had come to watch the battle.

Each of the Eight Tribes grew curious.

Even some Winged Ones took to the sky, flying toward the direction of the Toxic Wasteland.

Not long after, the Winged One returned, face filled with shock: "There truly is a city—a huge one! I didn't dare fly closer, but on that city, I saw many Fox tribe warriors!"

"Foxes? Did you imagine it?"

The Wolf tribe didn't believe it.

"The Foxes have been acting strangely lately—days ago they even sent someone to buy intelligence from us with gold. But to say they built a great city? I don't believe it."

A Snake person said.

The Snake tribe's intelligence network was exceptionally sharp—no one knew how they managed it!

"Let's go see for ourselves!"

Aldington immediately led hundreds of warriors at full speed toward the location.

The Eight Tribes who had come to watch also followed in droves.

Not long after, they arrived at a point more than ten kilometers from the City of Miracles—and from afar, they saw its towering walls, and above the city gate, the enormous torch burning day and night without ceasing!

Though far away, the sheer size of the city filled their entire field of vision.

The Eight Tribes who had come to watch were stunned by the great city.

They simply could not understand why such a massive city had appeared here.

Even Aldington's eyes narrowed!

His heart was filled with profound shock!

Even the Lion princes beside Aldington had long been frozen in stunned silence, their expressions locked in disbelief.
