Chapter 912: The Petrifying Gaze Strikes Again! The Medusa Chieftain Moves!

"Medusas? Order the fleet to accelerate and go take a look."

General Zakh said grimly.

The entire sandship fleet began to accelerate.

"Medusas? I've read the bard's poem 'Ode to Medusa.' It's said that when the bard flew over the Endless Desert, he happened to catch a glimpse of a Medusa—just one look, and he was awestruck, thinking her a celestial being. He tried to find her again, but never could, so he wrote that poem."

On a nearby sandship, some warriors began discussing it.

"I'd love to bed a Medusa in this lifetime."

One warrior said.

"Dream on. If we actually catch a Medusa this time, she'll likely be the generals' plaything. Major nobles back home love collecting exotic races—elves, beastwomen, mermaids, and such."

An old veteran said.

"Medusas are out of the question, but after we conquer the Beastmen's realm, there'll be plenty of beastwomen there."

"Beastwomen? How ugly would they be?"

"Ugly? Sure, many are, but the distinctive ones are even more numerous—like foxwomen and catwomen—they're more exciting than humans…"

"You've got me eager to reach the Beastmen's realm already."

"Look! There really are Medusas!"

At that moment, all the warriors on the lead sandships could see the Medusas in the sky.

There weren't many Medusas—only two flying in the air, and about a dozen more on the ground.

This was merely a small Medusa patrol unit stationed at the oasis.

Few living beings ventured into the Endless Desert.

Such a vast desert province couldn't possibly station troops at regular intervals along its borders like other provinces.

It wasn't necessary anyway.

Normally, not even a ghost could be seen along the eastern border of the Desert Province.
