Chapter 3 Leses · Arte· Hudy

Leses rode the walkers, alongside Ruth, with Vrkako in front of them and the rest of the Nevzin behind them. Together, they slowly came to the sand where the Mofen and the bandits had fought, and the footsteps of the walkers were covered with dust. The Nevzin members departed from the walker and landed lightly on the sand, picking up the mutilated and discarded weapons that had not been burned by the poisonous flames into their inky cloth backpacks, which were smaller and sturdier than the cloth backpacks used by the caravan. Vrkako also departed from the walker and came to the sand. Leses and Ruth also departed from the walker and landed lightly on the sand.

Leses looked at the scene in front of him, the white sand was covered with honey-yellow dust. Except for a few weapons left, except for the honey dust that seeped into the white sand, except for the dust that overflowed in the air, Mo Fen and Mo Fen and Mo Bandits could not leave anything. He covered his nose with his right hand over the face cloth and closed his lips tightly, he didn't like the smell of dust in the air. Leseth and Ruth, as well as their leader Verkaco, were accustomed to the sight, and both Ruth and Verkaco had grown accustomed to the smell. But Leseth still hasn't been able to get used to the smell. He walked over to the fragments of the water bottle that had been smashed, half-crouched down, and looked at the remnants of the fragments, mixed with a dark blue transparent liquid with a slight white sand, which looked like fresh water that had been soaked with white sand and rain. Leses examined all the water bottle fragments one by one, except for the two that had not been crushed, and the rest of the water bottles that had been crushed were supposed to contain fresh water. Among the water bottles filled with fresh water, there should be two bottles of fresh water that have been invaded by dark blue rain and white sand. Ruth stood behind Lesseth, surveying his surroundings. Relying on the body of the walker, Verkaco took out a small water bottle from his ink-colored cloth backpack, removed the cork with his left hand, lifted it above his mouth with his right hand, and turned his wrist slightly, the small water bottle was slowly lifted upward, and the transparent fresh water flowed into Verkaco's mouth, and he drank a large mouthful of fresh water, he re-stuffed the cork into the mouth of the small water bottle, and looked at the sand dunes in the distance with solemnity.

After examining all the fragments of the water bottle, Leseth stood up and walked over to the two intact water bottles that had been discarded by the bandits.

Only these two water bottles were not crushed ... The water bottles containing fresh water should have been put into the cloth backpack, and after being crushed, they remained in the cloth backpack, and the cloth backpack was burned to ashes by the poisonous flames, and the fragments in it were scattered on the sand, and after the poisonous flames burned the cloth backpack to ashes, it was blown away by the wind... This should be the case, but why didn't the two water bottles fit into the cloth backpack? Leses checked the two bottles with his own confusion, the two bottles were empty, there was nothing, Leses pulled the cork off with his right hand, stuffed his right arm into the bottle, and groped the bottom of the bottle with the index and middle fingers of his right hand... These two water bottles are not meant to hold fresh water, so they should be the two dead Nevzin members hidden in the caravan to hold the complete weapons and the parchment scroll map. Leses pulled his right arm out of the water bottle, and this inspection confirmed that the desert bandit was the culprit who killed the caravan and the two Nevzin members, and that the full weapon and parchment scroll map should also be in the hands of the survivor of this grom.

Lesseth came to Verkaco's side, and Ruth followed him to Verkaco's side. Leses told Verkaco the facts he had examined and the speculations he had made as a result of them, and he listened silently, clenching his right hand into a fist, gently holding the right side of his forehead, supporting his head, and closing his eyes in thought. Lessers waited for Verkaco's judgment and instructions, he turned his head to look at Ruth behind the left side of his body, Ruth also heard everything he said, but Ruth didn't seem to think too much, his face remained flat and indifferent, just kept looking at Verkaco, quietly waiting. When Lessers turned his gaze to Verkaco again, Verkaco had just finished his thoughts.

"Leses trust your own judgment and don't hesitate. Dressed in grey sandfish, Grom killed the entire caravan and then packed the garter in a cloth backpack and brought it to the sand to rest or adjust, most likely due to the shower we had encountered earlier. This Grom was later attacked by another Grom here, the same Ancients we had seen wearing Ancient Grey scrapped armor. Most of the two Groms had been reduced to dust from the blue flames that had just appeared, and they appeared at our feet. The remaining two Grom survivors must still be in the vicinity of the sand. They must have the full weapon and the parchment scroll map, and we have to get the weapon and the map back. Verkaco told them what he thought under the watchful eyes of the two.

Lessers and Ruth both nodded silently, waiting for Verkaco to give the order.

"Leses and Leseth's team searches the sand and dunes on the right, and Ruth and Ruth's team searches the sand and dunes on the left. Remember, the weapon and the map must be retrieved!" The solemnity in Vrkaco's eyes seeped into his voice, and with an unparalleled heaviness, it reached the ears of Lesseth and Ruth.

Leses was instructed to mount the Pacer at once, and the Nevzin members of his team rode the Pacer as well. Seeing that the team members were ready, Leses gave them the order, and then set off with the team to search the sand and dunes on the right. Ruth also led his team towards the sand and dunes on the left.

Leses and the Nevzin members of his team came to the sand on the right, and everyone slowed down the pace of the walkers below them, the number of survivors of the two groms was still uncertain, and their location was uncertain, so it was necessary to be careful and cautious. No one wanted to hurt themselves and their companions needlessly. There were no footprints or figures near the sand on the right, and everyone walked away from the walker and came to the sand as lightly as possible, keeping their voices as low as possible, so as not to alarm the surrounding enemies they had not yet noticed. Leses was the first to reach the sand dunes, and when he got close to the top of the dune, he lay on the sand and crawled up to the top of the dune, only half of his head exposed, so that he could just see the scene behind the dune.

Leseth was right, there were three figures on the sand behind the dune, one of whom was an ancient Terran wearing bronze purple broken armor and was slumped on the ground crying. The other two ancient clans were all wearing fire goose purple scrapped armor, one half-crouched beside the weeping ancients, and the other stood alone on the sand.

Leses slowly retreated and gave instructions to the Nevzin behind him, the nineteen Nevzin were divided into two teams, the team of twelve people spared the sand dunes from the left side to attack the three ancient people, and he and the remaining seven people formed a team of eight people, and walked along the top of the sand dunes from the right side, and waited until the team of twelve people fought with the three ancient people, and surrounded the three ancient people from the right side, not giving them any chance to escape, just as the order given by Vrkakko, they "must get their weapons and maps back"!

The team of twelve was the first to set off, and Lesseth had not yet led the remaining seven Nevzin to the right, intending to observe the three ancient people under the dunes again. He climbed to the top of the dunes again, baring half his head, and looked at the three ancient people behind the dunes. The ancient people who were half-squatting next to the ancient people who were crying stood up and walked away from him, and came to the ancient people who were standing alone on the sand. He hugged the sky he had been standing up at and rested his head on his right shoulder. Leses couldn't see very clearly, the ancient man who was standing alone on the sand seemed to be crying on the right shoulder of another ancient race, crying silently. The ancient people who were sitting on the ground were now alone, and his cry could faintly reach the ears of Leses, unscrupulous, with a little grief, but it sounded a little strange, not like the cry of an ancient man, but more like the cry of an ancient woman... Did I think too much?... On the other hand, the ancients cried silently, as if they had put all their grief on their faces, which made Leses look a little worried.

Lessers was not going to continue observing the three ancient peoples, he was afraid that he would waver again and show mercy to his enemies. Lessers knows that for himself who is about to face a battle, his usual innocence and soft-heartedness will become a fatal weakness. He had to make himself more determined and more decisive. It also reminded him of Ruth, who was much better than him in this regard.

Leses stepped back from the top of the sand dunes, slowly climbed back, and after making sure that he would not reveal his figure when he stood up, he stood up again and led the seven Nevzin to the right, and when the team of twelve began to fight the three ancient people, he immediately climbed over the sand dunes and surrounded them.

The observer stayed by the side of the inner step Cent, it wanted to comfort the inner step Cent who had been crying, but it didn't know what to do, it got into the arms of the inner step Cent, and licked the cheek of the Inside Step Son with its little red tongue, to the observer's surprise, its licking made the Inside Step Son feel so itchy that he had to stop crying and burst into laughter. She looked at it and held it tightly in her arms, the observer did not resist, let her hold herself, but its four legs couldn't help but sway in the air, it didn't hate the warm feeling of being held by Neibu Sente, but it was difficult to adapt to this situation of not touching the ground, and the panic in her heart was inevitable. Nebushant let go of his arms, allowing the observer to return to the sand. Neibu Sente doesn't want to cry anymore, and she doesn't want to give herself a chance to cry in the future, she must protect her companions.

Ander also regained his composure under Both's reassurance, and went with Both to Nebucent's side, only then did they notice the observer beside her, who had been completely unaware of its presence because they were all fighting.

"This little guy will bring us good luck, right?" Ender's voice still trembled slightly, not knowing if it was because of the uneasiness caused by the previous battle, or because his mood was not yet fully stable.

"Definitely, this little creature is an observer! What about the Lucky Charm!" Both was very different from Ender, seeing the observer made him feel exceptionally well, and the joy in his voice was clearly felt by both Nebushant and Ender, and even the observer next to Innerstep Cent could feel his joy.

The observer's ears twitched, and the sound of rustling footsteps reached its ears, numerous and getting closer. It whined at Inside, Ender, and Both, and all three looked at the observer, and it immediately raised its right forefoot in the direction of the twelve-man team, but it had no way of telling them the exact number of attackers. The three of them looked in the direction it pointed, several dark purple figures loomed beside the sand dunes, the three of them had not been able to see the specific number of dark purple figures, so they did not flee directly, if the number of attackers was small, they could completely counterattack and attack them. And when a few dark purple figures turned into a dozen dark purple figures, the three of them turned around and fled without hesitation, and the three of them alone could not resist the attack of a dozen people. The observer's cadence was slow and not fast enough, so he grabbed it with his right hand, clamped it under his right armpit, and sped away with Ender and Both.

The team of twelve people slowly advanced, they could vaguely see the three ancient people, suddenly a crisp and rapid whine came from the three ancient people, the three ancient people seemed to be guided by something, looked at them, stayed in place for three breaths, and then immediately turned around and fled, the members of the team of twelve people were very shocked, how could these three ancient people find them? The three people turned their heads to look at them at the same time, which was too abrupt. But they couldn't care about this inexplicable detail anymore, and the twelve of them all took steps, speeding up their pace to pursue the three ancient people who were fleeing in front of them.

Leses and the seven Nevzin had been walking towards the right side of the dunes for some time, but they had not been able to hear the battle between the team of twelve and the three Ancients, neither shouting nor clashing weapons against each other. It was so quiet that Leses had to climb to the top of the dunes once more to check on the three ancient peoples. He slowly climbed to the top of the dune, only half of his head was exposed, and looked at the three ancient people, they were no longer where they were just now, where had they gone? Leses did not find the three ancient people at once, he moved his gaze from the left to the right, and came to the bottom of the dune area where he was, only to see the three ancient people, they were rushing in the direction where he was. What about the team of twelve? Following the opposite direction of the three ancient peoples, he found the team of twelve people who were chasing after the three ancient peoples... The team of twelve fought with the three ancient peoples, and then the three ancient people were defeated and fled? Still they were found out before they could fight the three ancient peoples? Damn! How could these three ancient people have a chance to escape? I and the other seven members must go out immediately to stop the three ancient peoples, and we must not give them a chance to escape...

Leses and the other seven Nevzin members immediately climbed over the dunes to stop the three ancient Terrans from escaping.

The observer's nose twitched several times, and it smelled a lot of odors. It tried to touch her body with its left foot to inform her of this, but it was caught under her right armpit, and its four legs were free, making it difficult for it to move its forefoot. It writhed and barely touched the right side of the waist with its left forefoot. Inside, looking at the observer under his right armpit, he continued his run. The observer pointed his right forefoot forward, and instead of whining as usual to warn of the danger that might lie ahead, the observer sent his worries and concerns to the inner step Sente with his eyes. It was too scared to make a sound at this point, there were enemies in front and behind, and even it could clearly judge the urgency of the situation. Inside, Sente received its worries and concerns from its eyes... The little guy pointed forward, but he didn't whine as he used to, and his eyes were full of worry and concern... Did the little guy find out what's going on in front of him? Worries and concerns... There was no sound... There is an enemy behind us who is pursuing, and there may be an enemy in front of us! That's why it has worries and concerns! Our situation is very critical, and the little guy is the first to perceive this crisis, and he is the first to feel this danger, so he is afraid, afraid that we will all die here, so scared that it is difficult to speak... Damn it...

"We also have enemies in front of us. Nebu Sente immediately told Ander and Both of the critical situation.

"What, there's an enemy ahead?" Bowes' voice trembled a little.

"It shouldn't be because of us—" Ender made a judgment in an instant, and told Nebushant and Bowes his judgment.

"Sure enough, it's because of the two complete weapons and the map of the sheepskin scroll. Neibu Sente immediately figured out the real reason why the three were being pursued.

"What to do, what to do?" Both hadn't been so flustered in a long time, and he even repeated his words twice.

"We threw two full weapons to the right behind us, and the map of the parchment scroll to the right in front of us. Then they all turned and fled to the left. Ander remained sane, and in a steady voice he told Nebushant and Both the best option he could think of.

"Okay! just do it!" Ubushant was as decisive as ever, agreeing to Ender's escape strategy without any hesitation.

"Throw it all away?" said Both, who seemed to have suddenly regained his senses, but with his desires.

"Throw them all! Quick! The enemy figures in front of me are getting closer and closer, and I can already see them!" Ender almost roared at Both, as he flicked his right arm with all his might, and threw the full weapon he held in his right hand to the right behind him, and it flew in a long arc towards the sand on the right side behind Ender.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" Both seemed to regain his panic, repeating his words three times. He also flicked his right arm with all his might, like Ender, and threw the weapon he held in his right hand to the right behind him, and the weapon flew in a high arc towards the sand on the right side behind Both.

The enemies who were chasing them behind them gave up on pursuing them in favor of picking up the complete weapons they had thrown. Obtaining a full weapon is a must for the team of twelve chasing the three of them! Choosing between continuing the pursuit and the full weapon, the team of twelve will not hesitate to choose the full weapon. The twelve Nevzin immediately changed their direction and headed in the direction in which the two complete weapons flew away.

Nebushant just watched as Ander and Both threw out the two weapons in their hands, and she could do nothing but take the observer with them and run with them, and the same could be said of the observer she was holding under her right armpit.

"Both!parchment scroll!map!quick!" Ender's sanity was gradually destroyed in his anxiety, and his eagerness caused all his words to be transmitted to Nebushant and Both by hissing, and the dust silk kept pouring into his eyes because of his eagerness.

Both ignored Ender's roar this time, and concentrated on the sheepskin scroll in his left hand. He didn't choose to throw the parchment scroll to the right side in front of him in the same way as before, he realized at this moment that the enemy behind him was different from the enemy in front of him: the enemy behind him was far away from the three of them, and they threw it hard to the right side behind him, which could make the weapon move a longer distance from the enemy, and the three of them could also be at a greater distance. The enemy in front of him was different, they were close to the three of them, and if he threw it hard to the right side in front of him, it would be difficult to keep the sheepskin scroll far away from the enemy, and therefore unable to keep the three of them far away from the enemy. In the worst case, it will be thrown directly at the enemy, who will pick up the sheepskin scroll and continue to pursue them. Both took a deep breath and quickly spit it out... You have to throw the sheepskin scroll to the right side behind you, not too hard, otherwise the enemy behind you will be able to pick up the sheepskin scroll easily... Both gently threw the parchment scroll to the right behind him. Both Nebushant and Ender noticed that Both had changed their original escape strategy, but they had no time to pay attention to the changes Both had made. When Both threw out the sheepskin scroll, Inside, Ander, and Both themselves all turned and fled to the left at the same time.

Leses witnessed all three of them move - throwing out two weapons and throwing a sheepskin scroll. In fact, they can spare the three ancient peoples, but only if they do throw out and throw the map of the two complete weapons and the sheepskin scroll. When the two weapons were thrown, Leses's eyes were firmly locked on them, only one weapon kept shining in the ultramarine light, and the other weapon kept dimming in the ultramarine light, which meant that only one full weapon was thrown out by them, and the other was still in their hands!

"You now leave the group and go straight to pick up the parchment scroll on the sand ahead, and then join the team of twelve. I and the other six members of the team continue to pursue the three ancient peoples, they are fleeing to the right, after you and the team of twelve, go find our walker first, ride the walker, take me and the other six members of the walker, and go to the right together. Lessers immediately gave the order to the Nevzin members beside him.

Keeping Leses's command to heart, the Nevzin members immediately broke away from the group and ran to the parchment scroll on the sand in front of them...
