Twenty Oraphon squadron leaders followed Richard down to the tent where the priests were camping, and the Divine Comedy Shaman opened a tent as if by magic, revealing a row of neatly arranged giant iron buckets, which were so heavy that even the giant elephant Hercules, who had always had amazing brute strength, had a little difficulty carrying them.

All the Pigs of the Toulon Wing opened their mouths wide and looked at the barrels in disbelief, their tongues as dry as yellow sand, and they couldn't help but lick their blistered and cracked lips------ which had deer-head-shaped hoses on them, which usually found on ale barrels.

When the white water gushed out of the water pipe, all the Pigs warriors were stunned for a short time, and immediately rushed to the iron bucket in ecstasy and squeezed their heads in front of the water pipe, even the water stains gushing on the yellow sand, some people reluctantly picked it up, carefully rubbed it on their faces, and tasted the coolness on it.

"My children, be full!" Liu Zhen laughed.

The 500-gallon bucket bucket is a military product developed by the Emerald Arsenal to deal with the desert war, and there is a bronze nameplate on the surface of the bucket, on which is embossed with a bubbling ale glass, proving that this is the masterpiece of the gray dwarf blacksmith, a hundred buckets, a full hundred tons of water storage, enough to build a pool and open a bathhouse for trading.

General Reyes and his staff are completely convinced of this chief shaman, although they have long heard that the Lord of Fei Leng Cui is the pride of the heavens in the northeastern province, but the pride of Fox Bone City, so that General Reyes only maintains respect for this crown on the surface, this time, General Reyes completely recognized the pride of his hometown------ among them, Liu Zhenzhen saved his life There are also a lot of pluses.

Liu Zhenzhen was honest and unkind, even exempted from modesty, and directly sat on the general seat and began to give orders.

Being able to become a commander of the army has always been Liu Zhen's long-cherished wish, although he has no experience, but he still can't wait to try it, it just so happens that the summer palace guards of Fei Lengcui should also be pulled out to practice soldiers.

Of course, the Pigs of the Toulon United have no opinion, this kindred is the treasure and pride of the entire Pigs, and the Pigs who have always been despised in the Kingdom of Bimon especially cherish this hard-won idol.

General Reyes and his staff were a little slanderous, but this feeling was still suppressed by reason, since the Divine Comedy Shaman sat in the tent, a large group of burly followers drove all the guards aside like ducks, although it was a bit unruly to let a priest give orders from the throne, but this priest was a cut above the seat. What's more, he's still a fellow countryman.

The cowardice factor in Fawkes's personality kept General Reyes silent in front of the murderous and brilliant Lord of Emerald Jade.

After flipping through the list of officers and checking the inventory of baggage, the chief shaman finally raised his head, and the incomprehensible sharp eyes and the three medals of bravery pinned to his chest made the officers sitting quietly around him immediately puff up their chests.

"Your Excellency General, in fact, there is a sentence I have wanted to ask you for a long time......" Liu Zhenzhen's fingers poked the roof of the tent, with seven points of ridicule and three points of seriousness, and asked General Reyes, who was sitting below, with a smile: "... Was there an indication from above that you deliberately kept your distance from me? Forgive me for asking, because I have been in the desert with you for so many days, and all this time, I have not spoken a few words to you. ”

General Reyes didn't expect the chief shaman to be so direct, his face flushed, and he hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"Your Excellency General, just kidding......" Liu Zhenzhen had already known the answer from the other party's face, smiled, and didn't continue to ask, but just turned the military map on the desk in a different direction and pushed it in front of General Reyes.

“… Let's first discuss the marching plan set by the military department, and I have a question for you. Liu Zhenzhen looked around at each officer and knocked on the desk.

"Speak, my crown." General Reyes asked respectfully.

"Originally, the plan of the corps staff was such that the distance between the front, middle and rear armies of the entire corps should be kept thirty miles apart, and this was said by General Pinto, the chief of staff, and I should not be mistaken; But General Reyes, did you find it, in fact, thirty miles behind our forward corps, there is no wolf cavalry------ whether it is standing on the high sand dunes and looking into the distance, or my air cavalry from a bird's eye view in the air, I found that behind us, there is no Chinese army to follow. Liu shook his head and said slowly: "Your Excellency, General, maybe I shouldn't speculate, but in fact, the entire expeditionary corps has opened a large distance from us, and there may be some reasons that we don't know, but I think it is nothing more than a few reasons such as logistical drags, extermination of bandits, and slow departure time." I have to say that the marching speed of the vanguard corps in the past few days is still quite satisfactory, and walking sixty miles a day in the desert should be quite fast. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean to say... Are we alone now? Or is it out of touch with the army? General Reyes's fiery red fox tail swayed back and forth uneasily: "Could it be that the legion battalion readjusted the pace of the march after receiving the traces of the enemy in the Yale Oasis?" But in this case, why didn't the military department send someone to inform us to rest in the Harvard Oasis for a few days and wait for the Chinese army to catch up? ”

"There are air scouts, and the communication is not smooth, and the Legion's approach is indeed a bit strange. But we don't have to worry about that much, because even if we want to go back now, we can't go back now, let's take the Yale Oasis first!" Liu Zhenzhen pursed his lips and glanced at the officers around him: "Please forgive me for our usurpation, the Toulon United and I are both from the Northeast Province, as a native of my hometown, I have the obligation to contribute my strength to everyone when the situation is unclear, and I also have this self-confidence." But please rest assured, I will not take everyone to death, as for me, I belong to the expeditionary sacrifice group, and I will not snatch military merit from you! If you still have any difficulties with Toulon United, you can tell me as well. ”

"Your Majesty's words are too serious." When General Reyes heard Liu Zhen say that the Chinese army and the rear army were not keeping up, he thought about it in his heart, and suddenly became a little uneasy. If a large number of human robbers come from the hinterland of the desert and the Yale oasis, and the vanguard corps fights against the camel cavalry with infantry units in the desert where there is no danger to defend, the two thousand officers and soldiers really don't even know how to die: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is also our Beamon's consistent tradition to use the military sacrifice as a staff member, and I have heard of your glorious achievements, and it is an honor for Reyes to step into the rhythm of war under your guidance." As for the question of the Chinese army's follow-up, our air scout horned eagle beast knights will come every two days, so let's just ask them when the time comes. ”

"What's so much for? Three days later, our own air knights will intervene in a full-scale reconnaissance. Liu Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Let's explore the situation of the entire Yale Oasis first, as for the legion, don't worry about it, wait for them to contact us." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have long had this idea, but all the air knights under the headquarters are under your command, and without your instructions, I dare not overstep my authority." General Reyes also laughed.

"In fact, as long as we ensure that there is enough water, our Toulon United team will be no less than the whip of the god of war! What's so hard about taking the Yale Oasis!" The Orephine squadron leaders don't have that many bellies. They felt quite embarrassed to let a hero-level priest command them: "Your Majesty, we are very much looking forward to comparing who is more powerful in the Yale Oasis and the desert bandits under your command!"

"Since everyone is from the same province, I won't say anything polite. From now on, I'll find a way to provide all the clear water, but everyone must have full authority to listen to my dispatch!" Liu Zhenzhen put down his porcupine skin crown and wiped his long punk hair: "When we take the Yale Oasis and join the army, all the transfers will still be returned to General Reyes, and whoever has an opinion can put it forward now." ”

No one has an opinion, and even if they have an opinion, they are afraid that there will be no water to drink, and no one wants to live another day on the days when there is a shortage of water in the desert.

"Tell every soldier that every night when camping, make a high slope with sand, and put their legs high on the sand slope before going to sleep, so as to ensure that they will be more energetic the next day." Liu Zhenzhen also took out his old skills as a scout before. At that time, the troops were engaged in high-intensity training in the field, and the scouts who did not have enough sleep time all found a tomb anywhere, stilted on the grave bag, and slept with their heads down, which could reduce the load on the heart and liver and effectively restore physical strength.

The twenty Orephine squadron leaders looked at the Divine Comedy shaman dumbly, a little inexplicably.

"Did you hear that?" Liu Zhenzhen was angry when he saw their stupid appearance, and shouted angrily.

"Yes!" A large group of officers all stood up, "hula", and gave a military salute collectively. The fierce eyes that erupted from His Majesty just now, even these professional soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The arduous trek has finally come to an end.

Only ten miles away from the Yale Oasis, the sand dunes where the Toulon United team is located can just be viewed from a commanding position.

At the shouts of the captain, the warriors all lay down under the dunes. The Warthog warriors were on the front line, using wooden shields, knives, and spears to protect the porcupine shooters on the left and right flanks.

"Rely on your grandma!" Liu Zhenzhen stood on the top of the sand dune, his eyes on the eagle-eye sleeve with sunglasses, and his mouth was cursing and swearing.

Twenty squadron leaders and two co-captains, as well as General Reyes, the highest military commander of the Forward Corps, and Fei Leng Emerald's men and horses all gathered around him, waiting for the chief shaman to speak.

The wind was strong, and with that asthmatic roar, it kicked up snow particles of sand and whipped the faces of men, on the shields of the warriors, on the rivets of leather armor, with the sound of frying broad beans.

Most of the guards of the Emerald Summer Palace, from mages to priests and followers, have been covered with a black hood, which only shows two eyes, and if there is an additional guillotine around them, they are basically not much different from the executioner.

The officers of the Toulon Wing were tense and straight, allowing the wind and sand to hit their faces, not moving at all, showing the quality of soldiers.

The situation is a bit worse, the desert bandits have clearly discovered that the army of the Kingdom of Bimon has entered Taklamarago, and in the Yale Oasis, which is about two hectares in size, they have built a semi-circular earthen wall in the front direction. Due to the relatively short time, this breast wall is only more than three meters high, and the weeds and artemisia stalks that emerge from the soil embryo prove the poor craftsmanship.

The sand dunes where the forward corps is located are the highest terrain in the vicinity, and the Yale Oasis is a downhill slope, relatively flat, and a large area of giant cacti is like barnyard grass in a seedling field, horizontal and vertical, but dense and dense around the entire oasis within a radius of fifty or sixty yards. Each of these giant cacti is a little the size of a little bit, lying on a thin layer of desertified soil, and clusters of bright red flowers emerge from the pile of stinging needles, dotting the oasis like a hedgehog. Wind swirls swirl around the cactus bushes in fine pieces of sand, forming small twisted tornadoes with poor visibility.

"These cacti are going to ruin our offensive formation, fifty yards! Damn the distance, why can't these cacti grow a little farther away from the oasis!" General Reyes returned the Hawkeye Sleeveglass to Richard and muttered, "Didn't the war report say that these obstacles had been cleared last year?" Why did it come out again in just half a year, damn it!"

"How about a sideways detour? Attack from the back around this earthen wall!" Liu Zhenzhen suddenly felt something under his feet, and when he moved his foot, he saw that there was a huge and broken shell trapped in the sand, which had sharpened the bright color of this shell, but did not damage its delicate threads: "Hehe... The vicissitudes of the sea, this sentence is really not lying to me, it seems that this desert was the sea a long time ago!"

"Perhaps, our lives are too short for us to be more than Monti." General Reyes also has a bit of poetic feelings, and was immediately reminded of this shell hidden under the sand: "The world is changeable, I don't know if tens of thousands of years later, our Beamon Kingdom will also become the sea?" Or the mountains? Or swamp? ”

"Tell me what I just said, how about a roundabout attack?" Liu Zhenzhen felt that this was a broken shell, where did he get so much knowledge, and he was crushed with one foot.

"Better not do that, Your Majesty! Judging from the memo presented to me by the military headquarters, these desert bandits are just like our wolfe, each with more than two camels, and they are natural cavalrymen! Although they don't like to be equipped with heavy armor, they are still very strong in individual combat...... Kindness... This may also be thanks to their Uzi Treasure Knife... But that's what worries me the most, we don't know how many enemies there are in the Yale Oasis, and once we outflank us, they use a large number of camel cavalry to storm our formation and divide us, the consequences will be unimaginable. General Reyes blocked the wind and sand with his hand, looked at the ancient shell that had been trampled, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In fact, the desert human robbers are very similar to our Beamon cavalry, they are not good at using bows and crossbows, and they don't like to use cavalry spears of amazing length, but they like to use war knives in hand-to-hand combat, throwing javelins at close range, and dealing with infantry, which is really advantageous." ”

"Wouldn't they be doomed to death when they ran into heavy cavalry? Hehe, I know that these robber cavalry don't have the habit of fighting hard, and they flash when the wind is not right, and they are very cunning. Liu Zhenzhen pulled the square scarf back on his nose and covered most of his face.

"If you fight hard for heavy cavalry, their light cavalry will indeed die." General Reyes nodded: "As you said, these guys are very cunning, and if they escape, the heavy cavalry will have nothing to do with them." I feel that fighting in the desert is very different from us in the Danube. ”

"It's different, it's normal to not adapt to the soil and water, this is someone's territory, and the strong dragon doesn't fight the head snake! Interesting! The desert bandits have always admired the way of fighting like the wind, and this time they actually strangled the entire Yale Oasis, which is very strange! Are they trying to prevent us from occupying the oasis and getting a source of drinking water? Or can't eat through our forces and are holding on to the rock? Depend on! Could it be that there is an army of robbers coming along? Liu Zhen guessed for a while, followed by a burst of scolding: "What is this broken ** desert doing?" It's been blowing for three days, and I can't even get aerial reconnaissance!**!"

"Your Majesty, what the hell should I do? Ready to attack? Our fighters have been ready for a long time under the dunes!" The squadron leaders were noisy.

"Let's wait until the wind stops." General Reyes narrowed, and the glare of the sun shining through the wind and sand made his head dizzy.

"Damn b! this wind doesn't stop, I'm really going to get angry!" Liu shook off his eagle-eye sleeve in frustration, and the sand and dust that Zheng Lai rolled away made the figures on the earthen wall unable to see clearly.

I don't know if his curse really worked, the wind and vortex that were still raging suddenly disappeared, just like there was no wind just now, there was no dust covering the sun, the sun was also **, and a large area of yellow sand that was swept into the air was sprinkled down, like spring rain.

"Damn!" The officers stared blankly at the Divine Comedy Shaman, thinking to themselves that this is amazing, isn't it?

"So coincidentally?" Liu Zhenzhen himself also laughed, turned around and snapped his fingers, and waved his fingers to the takin warrior Duncan and the two Biaoren warriors: "The three of you are ready to take off, but you are circling in the sky over the Yale Oasis to do a reconnaissance, but don't fly too low, these robbers are not good at bows and crossbows, it doesn't mean that there are no bows and crossbows, their imam heard that he is also a master of fire magic, Lao Tzu doesn't want you to become barbecued meat and fly back!"

"Your Majesty, are you ready for war?" General Reyes asked a little excitedly, and the warriors below the dunes shook off a layer of yellow sand and straightened up.

"Of course we have to fight! This birdfeather oasis hides three or four thousand people at most, and our Beamon warriors can fight three of them, but they can't fight them? Liu Zhenzhen winked at Helen: "Dear Lanxia, please hurry up and set up a tent and blow the whistle, and gather all our Fei Lengcui rookies!"

"Don't worry~ Elder Andulan has already mobilized last night, I'll go." Helen smiled and beckoned the guards around her to go and build a tent and fiddle with the golden steel teleportation array.

"Wait! Your Majesty, three brave Sky Knights, wait! Our scouts are coming! Let's hear from them first!" A staff officer grabbed Duncan, who was about to take off, pointed to the sky, and shouted at Liu Zhenzhen.

Four Sky Knights swept over the dunes, four horned eagles with black and gray ground feathers and elk heads, and on top of the saddle sat the elven archers with short-horned bows.

"Your mom finally showed up! I thought you were all hanged, I haven't seen you for a few days!" Liu Zhenzhen hated the back of the four horned eagle beast cavalry and compared his middle finger, in the end, it is the elf who has an extraordinary sensing ability to the magic of the wind and wood, the gust of wind just now, although it is not a terrible sandstorm, but the ordinary air knight can't do it like this, and he can still soar in the sky gracefully.

Instead of circling and landing, the four Hippogriffs let out a long howl of deer, climbed a height, and headed straight for the Yale Oasis.

"Damn, play a majestic pose!" Several Orephine squadron leaders immediately scolded.

After the four horned eagle beast knights arrived in the sky above the Yale Oasis, they circled two or three times, probably thinking that the other party was not good at archery, or maybe they had not encountered a counterattack for a while, and they were a little careless, and they all swooped down and lowered their heights, ready to reconnoiter at close range.

Liu Zhenzhen knew that it might be bad, since the other party was prepared, there was no reason not to equip a few imams, where would the air knight be so arrogant! To be honest, now Liu Zhenzhen doesn't think that the other party is a rabble bandit at all.

Just as Lao Liu was worried, more than a dozen dazzling silver rays suddenly popped up between the treetops of the date palm forest, and two miserable deer howls sounded, and the four horned eagle beast knights were knocked down on the spot, and they were still burned to charcoal on the spot. The two elven knights also reacted quickly, and when they saw that something was wrong, they immediately got up from the air and slid away diagonally, but their "wind control technique" was obviously not very good, and after gliding for a distance, they landed in the oasis. Liu Zhenzhen saw countless desert men wielding scimitars rushing towards them, and quickly moved away from the camera, and the two elven knights had already risen in height at this time, and after shooting a few arrows in anger, they immediately pulled the horned eagle beast back to sail.

"My day!" Liu Zhenzhen put down the eagle-eye sleeveglass and smashed his mouth.

Now that the wind had stopped, his vision was very clear, and he had just clearly seen that in the process of the four horned eagle beast knights diving, silver bright metal pillars appeared out of thin air in the Yale Oasis, seven or eight meters high, at least two hugs thick, and the capitals were prismatic crown towers inlaid with four shining mirrors, which were silver and looked a bit like a strange-shaped street lamp.

These metal pillars were originally hidden in the palm and date palm trees behind the earthen wall, and were concealed by a large number of camouflage nets filled with branches and leaves, just after the four horned eagle beast knights approached, these metal pillars were all removed from camouflage, and the dozen or so silver rays of light were shot from the prismatic crown tower on these silver pillars, and Liu Zhenzhen saw that someone was standing on the crown tower, turning the lens edge, as if playing with a heavy machine gun, crossing out a fire net.

This kind of metal pillar is really too strange, as if it can condense the sun's rays in the air and brew a millilight to attack, and the range will not be less than five hundred yards according to Liu Zhenzhen's visual inspection.

"What the hell is the?" Liu Zhenzhen closed his eagle glasses, turned his head to General Reyes beside him and said, "No matter!" An hour later, the two wings spread out in columns, approaching six hundred yards from the oasis, ready to attack at any moment!"

The fierce and heavy horn trumpets immediately resounded throughout the dunes.
