Chapter 171: Sandstorm
In the endless desert, without any traces, the flat, smooth sand emitted the twisted air baked by the sun, this is the place of death.
At night, the cold wind blows, and the desert night sky is very bright, but the desert is quite cold in the middle of the night.
Fierce creatures also emerge from sand puddles, especially after midnight, when scorpions tumble out of the sand and try to fight their own kind, devouring them, sucking water out of their bodies without leaving a drop.
In such a vast desert, a camel caravan is stationed under the rock, if anyone knows the leader of the team, they will be surprised, isn't this the shopkeeper of the wine market in Chang'an West City, Agati?
He is not dead, he is currently traveling long distances in the desert to do things for the princess of a foreign country, because this life was given by the princess who protects the country.
Chang'an can't stay anymore, but businessmen always have to do business. This trip to the Western Regions is also according to what the princess of the protector said, to go to the Western Regions to open a Journey to the West restaurant, as a stronghold for intelligence, and it is convenient to open the news channel in the future.
The caravan consisted of dozens of men, half of whom were the mother-in-law's right-hand men, ready to return to the black-clothed Big Food-colored New Orchid.
At this time, the wind rose sharply, the sand began to fill, the bonfire continued to move, and something unusual happened.
Agati looked towards the sudden brightness of the night sky, and found a galloping horse in the dark shadows, and there seemed to be a figure on it, calm and composed, beckoning to the somewhat confused men.
"Be on guard!"
A few seasoned men braved the wind to pull the panicked camels, led a few young men to hide behind the rocks to avoid the wind, and beckoned the leader to come and take shelter from the storm.
Agati hurriedly responded, wanting to step towards the rocks, not to avoid the wind and sand in the night.
At this moment, when his eyes stayed on the dark shadow, he was surprised to find that there was indeed a person carrying on it, wrapping his face with a turban to block the invasion of wind and sand, and trying to open his eyes to get close to the black shadow, Agati was surprised to find that his guess was not wrong.
It was a horse, and judging from the horse's appearance, the hair might be white, and it seemed to be a BMW, and Agati was amazed, and felt more and more that he might have picked up a treasure.
Pulling the horse behind the rocks and unloading the man on horseback, Agati was once again amazed to find that it was a woman, with her eyelids open, blue eyes, and a pulse!
At this moment, the horses neighed, the whining wind hit, and the sandstorm began to bury the world.
The tumbling sandstorm turned into a tornado and rushed towards the golden central oasis, but the life of the oasis was tenacious, and under the block of several towering green trees, the wind and sand could not bury the oasis, and only slightly caused the dust of the central city of the oasis.
The people of the city were disturbed, and the sheep roaming in the meadows were still gnawing on the delicious grass, and the sandstorm soon ended.
However, in the northwest corner of the fort, a cloud of sand and dust was observed surging towards the oasis, and the young soldier probably did not know what was going on, and probably shouted that the sandstorm was coming again.
Veterans of war would sound the alarm and light the beacon smoke, and the rows of sand and dust were not sandstorms, but enemy attacks, and countless enemies, even more than they could defend themselves for.
Blood is about to bloom, and there is no time to wait.
The soldiers of the Fallen West Kingdom gathered in the northwest corner of the oasis, and their uneasy mood flowed in the palm of the sergeant's clenched sword, and gradually turned into despair.
The sand squeezed into the oasis as if no one had entered a no-man's land, and the first line of defense collapsed in an instant, and the heavy armored cavalry of the knights formed a charge to play to their strongest advantage, and the leading knight shouted the order to seize the water.
The infantry rushed out to the left and right, covering from both sides, well-trained, spears thrusting, shields pushed forward, and put an end to the soldiers of the Fallen West who were dizzy by the heavy cavalry.
Immediately afterwards the heavy cavalry gathered and prepared for a second wave of charge. The archers also gathered in front of the heavy cavalry, and released three waves of arrows forward, which immediately dispersed to the left and right, allowing the cavalry to continue to charge.
The heavy cavalry looked crazy and surprised, looking at this oasis as if they were seeing a treasure, they had been thirsty for a day.
The city was soon broken by the black-clothed army, and no one could stop the knights from rampage, the women were plundered, the men were slaughtered, and the king of the kingdom of Luoxi went out of the palace with the prince to fight the enemy so that the arranged wives and children could escape.
In the endless desert, a group of weak men fled on unfamiliar horses, but were still chased by cavalry, and hundreds of well-guarded warriors fought the incoming invaders while taking cover, and it didn't take long for the defense line to be breached.
The warrior loyal to Ablis knew that there was no escape, so he gave the princess his food and water bag, and unloaded the silver dagger that his father had left for him from his waist and handed it to Abith.
"Princess, Gayaro swears to the death to serve the kingdom of Luoxi!"
The two horses, one black and one white, went hand in hand, and the lengthy friendship spread in the hearts of the two.
Ablis gripped Gayara's large, rough hand with one hand, and her blue eyes were drowning in tears. The love affair was broken under the knife, and Ablis lost consciousness.
With a mortal heart, the warrior fights for the princess whom his heart admires, and even if it is delayed for a short time, he must exercise his final loyalty.
The torrent buried the small warriors, and the cavalry scattered, chasing the scattered members of the royal family.
The golden desert overflowed with the bright red blood of the war dead, and was soon buried by the sand and dust again.
Under the long sunset, a white horse wanders alone.
The princess on horseback was awake, but she could not remember the direction of her hometown, the red sun rendered the golden desert, and fear, loneliness, and angra came along with the darkness.
Together with the white horse, Abyss wept and wandered in the silent, dark desert until she fell unconscious on horseback, and it all came to an end.
The white light pierced the edgeless sky, the temperature rose, and Abith wrapped her turban in a turban to find a rocky area full of weathered holes to trim it, and the girl struggled, and it was pitch black before her eyes, and she didn't know where the future was heading.
Now we only know that the place where the sun rises is in the east, and to the east, it seems to be an endless desert. I recall, I once heard my mother say that in the east, at the end of the desert, there was a rich country called 'Tang'.
However, she can only cry and grieve now, which is deadly in the desert, and it only takes one day for the water bag to be drunk and she will face death.
To make matters worse, it was overcast, the sun was nowhere to be seen, a breeze was blowing the veil around her head, and Abisi, who was struggling to move forward on horseback, looked behind her, and a thick yellow tornado was approaching.
The horse seemed to sense the danger and ran away with his hooves.
Eventually, in the midst of a lack of water, Ablis lay on horseback, and death took another step closer to her.
I don't know how long it sank, but the moment a cool water poured into her throat, Abyss woke up.
