Episode — Return to the Barren Land
After several months away from publishing our episodes, we are finally back!
And this time, we return with a little more experience, a lot of great memories, and—hopefully—the chance to create many more unforgettable moments in the Barren Land.
A new chapter began when our game group changed and SKY was placed in Group One, alongside 850 servers.
It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity.
Along the way, we met and recruited many great players, and today we have a new generation of determined warriors standing beside the experienced and trusted veterans of SKY.
Together, old friends and new champions are ready to make history.
Of course, we enter this season with a very simple ambition:
All the rewards.
All the S6 ants.
And absolutely no regrets.
And with Crazy Rooster leading the way, we have every reason to believe that a new glorious era is about to begin.
There is, however, one small concern…
The Barren Land is known for its heat.
We just hope it isn’t quite hot enough to cook the snake’s ant eggs before they get the chance to hatch! 
This time, 77 determined and enthusiastic members are stepping into the desert with us.
You will meet them throughout the upcoming episodes, and I have a feeling some of them will become very familiar faces in this story.
For now, however, the battle has not yet begun.
We are standing at the edge of the desert, waiting for the dice to roll…
And who will become our rivals.
The next chapter is about to begin.
Welcome back to the Barren Land.
Welcome to the new era of SKY.

At first glance, it seems has done a pretty good job trying to balance the forces.
But as we all know…
Numbers on paper are one thing.
What happens in the desert is something completely different.
Now we have to wait and see what the coming days bring.
And, hopefully, enough ants running around to create a properly chaotic and entertaining war. 
For now, though, there is nothing left to do but wait.
So sharpen those mandibles. 
Check your troops.
Check your ants.
The desert is waiting.
And somewhere beneath the burning sand, the next chapter of our story is already being written.
Let’s see what the Barren Land has in store for us.
To be continued… 
Episode — The Calm Before the Storm
The days of peace and comfort on the island are slowly coming to an end.
The temperature is rising…
And so is the tension.
The countdown has begun, quietly promising that the two camps will soon meet face-to-face.
Most alliances have now completely conquered their territories and collected almost every available buff from the initial zone.
For now, everything looks surprisingly peaceful.
But that won’t last much longer.
In just a few days, we will enter the Battle Territory.
Our camp has the advantage of the Healing Mushroom in the north, while our opponents hold the same valuable buff in the south.
There is still a possibility that both camps might decide to play it safe…
Perhaps we will simply continue the event without invading the two new territories that will soon become available.
Perhaps.
But honestly…
I doubt it.
Why?
Experience. 
This is an ant war, after all.
And sooner or later, someone is going to look across the border and think:
“I wonder what happens if we just send a few ants over there…”
So, my prediction is that we will witness the first real battles within the next three or four days.
Until then, we wait.
We watch.
We prepare.
And we sharpen our mandibles.
The real question now is not whether the battle will begin…
but how each camp will choose to fight it.
Will strategy win?
Will patience win?
Or will someone simply lose patience and send half the colony charging into the desert?
We are about to find out.
The peaceful days are almost over.
The temperature is rising.
The borders are waiting.
And the Barren Land is getting ready to become a very hot place indeed.
The storm is coming.
