On the desolate Gobi Plateau, the howling wind swept up sand pebbles that ceaselessly battered the cliffs, their noise mingling with the resonant beats of drums.
Under a massive cliff on the plateau, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Ezomal Empire had gathered, engaged in a bloody struggle.
The 'enemy' they surrounded was a gargantuan beast in front of the cliff.
This was a creature with the body of a lion and a human face, towering dozens of meters tall, its mane like serpents, skin like iron scales, a pair of bat wings sprouting from its back, and a scorpion hook poison sting extending from the tip of its tail gleaming with cold light.
The Scorplion, a mythical beast of legend said to dwell in the depths of the desert, was now actually before the army of the Ezomal Empire.
