In the sand-filled De Ya City of the Sha Country in West Asia, what once was a bustling capital full of towering skyscrapers had been leveled to the ground.
Four gigantic spaceships hovered directly above the ruins of De Ya City.
The designs of these four spaceships were not identical; two resembled flying saucers and covered an area as large as several soccer fields.
The other two were no different in shape and size from the Star Chaser Ding Huan had seen before, with the smaller ships flanking the large saucers on either side.
Surrounding the four spaceships were at least ten thousand Undying Spiders.
Each of these spiders was at least two meters tall, encircling the spaceships like statues.
...
On the outskirts of Sha Country, defensive trenches and walls had been erected long ago, and hundreds of thousands of Federation Soldiers were stationed within them.
The splattered blood and dense pockmarks of bullets on the front of the trenches told of a recent battle.
