A few hours later, when many troops arrived at the edge of this huge continent, they couldn't help but marvel at the mysteriousness of this continent when they sensed the strange pitch-black cliff that seemed to have been carved by knives and axes.
The pitch-black liquid that looked like seawater was constantly churning, and the violent and aggressive sea wind was whistling. The entire army … had nowhere to go.
Just when the vanguard army was about to stop moving forward, the huge shining silver ball suddenly flew towards them and fell straight into the sea, making a deafening "Plop" sound.
As if it was an entity.
In the center of Satsuma City, Count Aston who was wearing a black robe was holding an ancient book in his hand. His voice wasn't loud, but it was unusually clear, "God said: His path … is paved by his servants."
The ancient book emitted a bright light, which was immediately restrained.
There seemed to be an invisible explosion in the distance.
…
The soldiers looked at the pitch-black sea in front of them, each holding their breath.
After the light ball entered the sea, the black surface that seemed to be calm suddenly began to shake violently!
It was as if something huge was rising from the bottom of the sea. The cliff at the edge of the continent was more than 300 meters away from the surface of the sea. When the soldiers looked down from the edge, they were surprised to find that the surface of the sea seemed to be approaching them.
A few minutes later, they finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their eyes!
Bright torches were tentatively thrown into the sea. The rapidly rising sea level caused a commotion in the frontline!
A beam of golden light suddenly radiated from the carriage in the center of the army. Along with this strong wave, all the soldiers' minds unexpectedly went blank for a moment — they stared blankly in front of them with their mouths open, not knowing what they had just said or what they were thinking.
The horn for retreat sounded in an orderly manner. The phalanx began to move backward in an orderly manner, making way for the edge of the cliff.
When another ray of light flashed in their line of sight, everyone held their breath.
There was actually a long road in front of the cliff … and this road was actually made of pitch-black seawater!
The tumbling seawater revealed an incomparably dangerous aura, and there were even some huge magical beasts swimming in it. Just when all the soldiers were confused about the situation in front of them, their Lord's carriage had already reached the edge of the cliff. Then, under the command of the huge Bucher, the carriage left the cliff, and the entire carriage actually walked on the road formed by the tall seawater!
"A miracle!"
There was no need for other words to describe the scene in front of them. The records left behind by the Demon God Garen had described this scene … "The apostle brought his people and advanced on the path of the black water in order to spread the glory of the Lord."
The Dark Elves followed this carriage — not just because of many reasons, but also because their Elder Sandinaran was in that carriage. Following closely behind was Ducer. These powerful races that had always been fighting against nature and the slave trade had never thought of the word "retreat".
The soldiers looked at each other, and then followed this huge troop under the command of the military.
The "Seawater Bridge" that was at least fifty meters wide extended into the distance. After the troop of tens of thousands of people stepped on this road, they all felt that the ground beneath their feet was soft, but when they stepped on it, their pants and shoes wouldn't get wet.
The magical beasts that swam through the waves were even as large as hundreds of meters, but none of them came out from the water to attack the troops. Soon, the order to speed up came from the carriage. This troop that had already been deeply impressed by their Lord's abilities began to run without hesitation.
Here, only absolute power could give everyone a reason to fight for you.

"Does the poison taste good?"
Sandinaran's smile was unusually deep. Many of them looked at each other for a few seconds, but then smiled faintly and looked away.
"Slightly sweet."
He raised the cup in his hand and took a sip. The edge of the dark seawater outside the window was like a cliff. The mysterious sea glowed faintly, and he didn't know what kind of creatures were in it.
Sandinaran sat quietly. Her silver-white skin and that forever quiet face always reminded many of Sylvia's shy smile. Of course, there were also all kinds of faces that flashed by, and they didn't know how those figures were now.
They kind of missed them.
Many of them sighed and didn't care about the identity of the Elder opposite them. They very relaxed and leaned against the soft cushions, their eyes staring out of the window in a daze.
"Every time I have this kind of emotion, do you know how I solve it?"
Sandinaran looked out of the window, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Oh?"
Many of them raised their eyebrows, knowing what the Elder meant.
"Take a stroll in my domain."
There was a trace of self-mockery and loneliness in the Elder's eyes.
In the domain, the Spellcaster was the creator of the world. Many of them understood that the Elder had created a boundary in his own domain that was similar to Roslolian's. Zeger recalled the past in this world that was full of reality but also false.
Is it sad?
"Am I stupid?"
"I can't think of any better way."
Many of them spread out their hands, but suddenly frowned — "Did you hear that?"
Sandinaran was a little puzzled by this question. She reached out to comb her silver hair and replied, "What did I hear?"
"Perhaps I was hallucinating."
Many of them relaxed their brows and returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
In fact, in that instant, many of them heard a long and angry dragon's roar above their heads. The roar could be said to have pierced through the clouds, but it seemed … that no one else heard it.
Many of them looked to the side and saw that the two maids were respectfully waiting at the side without any unnecessary expressions or movements.
What is this, a sign?
Many of them raised their heads and watched as the carriage set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent after a light shake.
…
Rest, reorganize, and set up camp.
After a day of rest, the scouts brought back intelligence about the edge of the continent. Along with many orders to attack without any hesitation, the three frontline armies split into three paths to attack the three nearest sizable towns.
There was no resistance.
Perhaps it was because the army left behind by Carlin was too powerful, or the towns did not expect that the central continent would be able to cross the sea and attack the Eastern Continent. In any case, the battle only lasted for two days.
The casualty ratio was pulled down to a very small ratio. Many of them didn't give the order to slaughter like they usually did in the past. Treating captives well was something that they had only heard of in their previous lives. However, in the face of this powerful lord, they didn't say anything.
Sitting in the middle of the tavern in Cassiville Town, many of them did not even arrest the owner of the tavern. Instead, they sat in front of the fireplace with Sandinaran and enjoyed the local delicacies.
This was just the beginning.
The guards quickly handed over the information they had gathered to Butler Jia Lou. However, Jia Lou didn't know what to say when he saw that the parchment wasn't even fully filled.
"It seems like the people here are very tight-lipped."
Many of them were not surprised by this outcome. Perhaps it was impossible for them to be tight-lipped, but another important factor was that these people did not know what they could say.
"Apart from the geographical location and the few villages nearby, the rest of the information … including the name of their lord, is unknown."
"Is that even possible?"
Many of them laughed out loud. A commoner living under an autocratic system did not know the name of the person above his head. It was a very funny and chilling fact.
