The sand shined like gold underneath the hot rays of the sun.

This was the Golden Desert.

10,000 of the Arabas Kingdom's army stood side by side, along with their Insect and Sand Mages. Dukeram, Jegal, the captains, and the guild's elite troops/high rankers were also in attendance.

They had come to hunt the Ruler of the Golden Desert, Mamonas.

It was a spectacular sight.

As the Commander in Chief, Dukeram took charge of their troops. 

"The army will stay back. General Dalton, please assume command over them," Dukeram said, referring to an old, white-haired man with plenty of scars on his face.

The elderly man looked quite intimidating, as his battle scars resembled a tiger's stripes. He was the Arabas Kingdom's Guardian God, Dalton. 

He was the kingdom's most talented general, and was also a Master!

"Understood," Dalton said curtly.

"Moby Dick, Tainos, Ridgeley, I want you to take on the Mamonas head-on," Dukeram said.

Dukeram usually spoke formally to his captains or guild members, but today was different. He was the Commander in Chief, so he adjusted his speech to reflect that.

"Yes, sir!" the three captains replied simultaneously.

"I want the Yellow Dragon Squad on the right flank, and the Glacier Squad on the left."

"Yes, sir."
