The Principle Was Unknown!

The massive sandstorm that had lasted nearly a week finally showed clear signs of dissipating after a single night.

Though the sky was still somewhat dim and yellow, there was far less sand and dust in the wind. Visibility had opened up, and a little sunlight could even be seen in the sky.

As for the wind still howling and shrieking, that was unavoidable.

After all, whenever wind swept through this city of towering spires, it always produced that eerie sound like ghosts wailing.

Yet although the weather had improved, Sara's mood had plunged into the Abyss.

Those beautiful reddish-brown eyes were filled with terror.

Everything before her seemed shrouded in darkness as she slumped weakly on the throne, at a complete loss.

Just moments ago, Salai had told her that the Third Raikage and the several thousand Cloud Village ninja under his command were now less than twenty kilometers away.

What should she do now?

She was not naïve enough to believe the Third Raikage had come with friendly intentions!

"Your Majesty, wh-what should we do now?"

The chubby Salai hurriedly asked, his face full of panic.

Queen Sara was their only pillar of support now.

"Leave!"

Sara immediately rose to her feet, clenched her fists with unwavering resolve, and gave Salai an order.

"Tell everyone to leave at once and head west. About thirty kilometers from here, there is a small oasis!"

"Remember, tell them to bring only food and water. Once Cloud Village leaves, everything else can be recovered. And Sanari... I'm entrusting her to all of you."

Sanari was her daughter, only one year old this year. As for her father, he was not worth mentioning.

That was because Loulan's tradition held that the queen's husband was unimportant, and the queen's son was unimportant as well.
