The Birdmen Descended from the Sky, Bringing News of the Dusk's Defeat—Caw! A Great Omen!

The first time Vam saw Transia's dragoons charge into battle, he had a sudden flash of inspiration: combining the souls of berserk warriors with steel that feared neither life nor death was a brilliant idea.

Nobody knew what strange thoughts had passed through Vam's muscle-packed head before he reached that conclusion. But the Berserkers and their followers were distinguished by their extraordinary ability to put ideas into action. According to the little mummy, almost immediately after Transia's Black Calamity ended, a group of Berserker priests from Ice Bay secretly arrived in Xike City.

Officially, they were there to study. But the barbarians regarded it as a test of faith, giving the undertaking that significance.

After all, for barbarians, studying was always full of all sorts of indescribable "hardships." Without sufficient faith to sustain them, even the most devout Berserker priests would struggle to complete their studies.

Honestly, they would rather charge into thousands of enemies with swords in hand than settle down in a classroom and listen to the undead dryly explain how wetware cores worked.

It was actually pretty entertaining to watch those muscular brutes gather together and discuss all kinds of problems in their lecture notes in the most physical way possible. Unfortunately, Murphy didn't have much time to stay in Xike City and watch the idiots discuss mechanical problems.

He had agreed on a departure time with the little mummy. After asking Nefertari about some of the traditions and etiquette surrounding the Pharaoh's birthday celebration, he returned to Scarlet Castle around noon.

But as soon as he flew to the border between the Andmar Hills and the Count of Cadman's lands, Murphy spotted a strange golden flash flickering deep in the hills.
