Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

For the past ten days, Xiao Fan has mostly stayed among the Snake-People. You Ruo is busy with the Snake-People's migration plan and has many things to prepare, so she is extremely busy. During the day, Xiao Fan can hardly see her. No, snakes are rarely seen.

So, to compensate Xiao Fan, he could only let someone take advantage of him at night, at least... he was now extremely familiar with the Snake-People Queen's palace.

Ahem, back to the main topic. After spending so many days in the Snake-People tribe, Xiao Fan was already tired of it. Of course, he wasn't tired of Her Majesty the Queen, but the unchanging desert had really made him lose his usual energy.

Seeing that You Ruo still had a lot to deal with, and considering the time, Xiao Yan and the others should be back soon, Xiao Fan told You Ruo that he planned to return to the clan first.

Despite feeling reluctant, You Ruo didn't show it too obviously. After all, she was still the queen of the snake people, and the future of the entire tribe rested on her shoulders. She had to be responsible for her people.

However, now that Yan Ci has broken through to the Dou Huang level and found a new gathering place with a Dou Huang in charge, things will naturally be much easier for him. After all, in the Jia Ma Empire, having Dou Huang-level combat power means he has already reached the level of a top-tier power.

Thinking of this, You Ruo was reluctant, but she did not try to persuade her to stay any longer.

"The desert should be out of sight ahead..."

Xiao Fan surveyed the scattered traces of mercenary activity on the ground and gazed at the distant horizon, feeling a sense of relief.

Their speed as they flew outwards also increased slightly.

......

On the border of the Tagor Desert, a group of mercenaries, covered in wounds, gathered together. The leader was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, and the mercenaries around him all had a hint of sorrow and relief in their eyes.

"Damn it, who would have thought this mission would be so difficult? Desert datura, which was already hard to find, has become even more precious now. We've encountered so many mercenary groups along the way, all heading towards the same mission location."

A mercenary who looked rather young leaned against the greatsword stuck in the desert, gritting his teeth as he applied medicine to his injured left arm, muttering complaints.

Upon hearing his words, several mercenaries around him echoed his sentiments.

"That's right. Our mercenary group found it first, but the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group came and took it over. What did we do to deserve this?"

"There's nothing we can do. The Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group in Sand City is currently the only dominant force. Moreover, their leader is a Dou Ling (Double Spirit) level expert. I've heard that all the mercenary groups around Sand City, big and small, can't even enter Sand City without paying them."

Seemingly having started a conversation, the mercenaries began to chatter amongst themselves, constantly complaining.

The bearded leader's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty upon hearing the crowd's words.

The Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group of Sand City is a mystery. After eliminating their rivals and unifying Sand City two years ago, they were relatively well-behaved for the first year, but then their ambitions were exposed.

It's unclear what extraordinary encounter Han Jue had, but he actually reached the peak of the Great Dou Master realm. He immediately began recruiting small mercenary groups from the surrounding area. After absorbing those mercenaries, his strength increased significantly, completely revealing his wolfish ambition.

However, he had already reached the Dou Ling realm. Others wanted to make a move, but seeing that they couldn't defeat him, they had no choice but to give up.

The Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group has completely seized control of the Sand City, and their influence in the surrounding areas is gradually growing.

This time, the commission they received was simply to obtain desert mandrake from the Tagor Desert. Although desert mandrake is a rare material, for people like them who deal with the desert year-round, as long as they are careful of the monsters in the desert, it's just a matter of time and there are basically no difficulties.
