Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 335

Kyle and team Sandstorm left the barrier around the fortress.

"And you don't have a plan?" Falk asked.

"What kind of plan am I supposed to make?" Kyle asked. "I saw a rough map, and that's it. I saw a couple of bases and the locations of some powerful beasts. There's not much planning I can do. We get as close as we can to the Ether Essence, start digging, and hope that nobody kills us."

Usually, the team had a plan since Kyle essentially scouted the surroundings with Sven. Sometimes, they also used Lily's flying golems to scout.

But this time, there was no scouting.

Beasts generally stayed in their territories, and they also left a bunch of traces behind. Finding and keeping track of them was not that difficult.

However, these were humans, and even worse, they were soldiers from an enemy kingdom.

They moved around constantly and rarely left traces behind.

"Michael, you got the Spell?" Kyle asked.

"Of course," Michael said. "It's not difficult to understand. Even Fighters can learn it easily."

"Even, he says," Falk said with a snort.

"You know what I meant," Michael answered with a frown.

"You're always so serious," Falk said with a laugh. "I'm just messing with you."

"Oh, sorry," Michael said with an awkward laugh.

"Alright, that's enough banter," Kyle said. "We have to get serious now."

The atmosphere between the members turned more serious as they looked at the huge mountain in front of them.

"The Ether Essence is around 150 kilometers from here," Kyle said. "With luck, we won't meet an enemy on the way."

"However, you have to keep in mind that people in the Third Realm only avoid the surrounding 30 kilometers of the Ether Essence and the actual World Peak. That means, we can meet any kind of enemy within the next 120 kilometers or so."

Falk sighed. "Why can't we just have an escort?"

"Defense is not always the best defense," Kyle said. "The more soldiers we have in the enemy territory, the more people the enemy has to use to deal with them, pulling them away from the frontlines."

"Yeah, idiot," Lily said with an arrogant laugh. "These are the basics. How do you not know something this simple?"

Falk rolled his eyes.

By now, he had gotten used to Lily's constant attacks on his ego.

The team climbed up the mountain and jumped from peak to peak.

Since the enemy knew that the Skysand Kingdom's primary base was here, they knew not to send people here.

After around ten kilometers, Kyle changed his approach and told his team to slow down.

Then, he looked at the small army of golems following them.

The golems were quite noticeable.

After all, every single one of them was about three meters tall and quite stocky.

Sadly, there wasn't much they could do about that.

Lily needed her golems, and she couldn't just hide them.

'Hide them?' Kyle thought.

Then, he got an idea.

After preparing some things for about ten minutes, team Sandstorm continued.

They jumped from peak to peak, traveling towards the Ether Essence at full speed.

The further they progressed, the more nervous they became.

They were only about 80 kilometers away from the Ether Essence, which meant they had entered the most dangerous zone.

If there were people in the Third Realm present, they would most likely be somewhere here.

Both sides tried their best to cut off any reinforcements before they could reach the Ether Essence.

The battle around the Ether Essence was tough, and people in the Third Realm rarely joined due to the danger.

Even more, people in the Third Realm were not invincible.

A team of Peak Second Realm Fighters could take down an Initial Grandmaster, despite the Realm advantage.

Kyle told his team to slowly move through the lower mountains.

Over the next minute, they managed to traverse another ten kilometers.

Now, only 70 kilometers lay between them and their target.
