Chapter 292: Desert March
Jingle Bell Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......
On the vast and boundless desert, the bells hanging from the necks of the Maro beasts, which looked like camels on the earth, rang crisply, and a team of Maro beasts, numbering more than two or three hundred, marched in a neat line towards the northwest of the desperate desert.
Now that the Northern Continent has long been occupied by Chaos, it is naturally impossible for a Maro beast team of this scale to be a merchant who has traveled through the desperate desert to the Northern Continent to do business. Looking at the figures riding on the Maro Beast, who are far taller and stronger than normal people, you can know that this team is the Beamon elite team led by Ai Luo who came out of Iron Sword City and went all the way north to the desperate desert.
Today is the third day after they left Iron Sword City, Iron Sword City, located in the northwest of the continent, is not too far from the Desperate Desert, they have reached the edge of the Desperate Desert yesterday, where they found a small town on the edge of the desert and hired all the Maro Beasts in the town, and then Iro and his Beamon guards, plus those humanoid golden dragons and Coco Sisters, rode Maro Beasts into the Desperate Desert in this way.
The purpose of Ailuo's coming to the Desperate Desert is to find the legendary fallen god of war Beamon who wanders in the northeast of the Desperate Desert and the northern border of the Eastern Continent and defeat him in a dignified manner. If nothing else, the geographical concept of "the northeast of the desperate desert and the northern border of the Eastern Continent" is simple to say, but in fact it means a large piece of land that is now almost completely dominated by chaos.
In Coco's sister's opinion, this is like a group of people going deep into the enemy territory without any information, swaggering all the way and asking questions all the way in the delusional hope of hitting the enemy headquarters. But Iroh didn't think so, as the owner of a fragment of godhead with self-awareness, even if Iro was not a brain-type talent like the high priest of the beast spirit clan, he knew the danger of this, but on the basis of understanding the danger, Iroh still insisted that he had more confidence in himself and the group of Bimeng guards and a few golden dragons around him, and they would definitely not lose when they came to cover the water.
Coco's sister also has no way to admonish this, this kind of idea that sounds good is bloody and proud, and if it is not good, it is reckless and unscrupulous, but it is really the established thinking mode of the vast majority of the beast spirit clan in the face of problems, the beast spirit clan advocates strength, and naturally likes to use strength to solve problems, of course, it is not without scheming beast spirit clans like the high priest of the beast spirit clan, but for Airo and these Beamon under his command, words and phrases such as "plan and then act" obviously do not exist in their dictionaries.
Fortunately, due to Rococo's adventures in the desert, Rococo arrived at the ruins of the floating island in the middle of the desperate desert two days ago, and learned that the Chaos Lord legion led by the fallen god of war Beamon was attacking the middle of the desperate desert. Therefore, Coco's sister, who learned the news from Rococo with the help of the soul link, finally no longer had to watch Iroh and his group of guys with almost all the muscles in their heads running all the way to the northeast of the desperate desert to rampage, but bluntly told Ailo before entering the desperate desert that the fallen god of war Beamon he was looking for was causing chaos in the middle of the desperate desert at the moment.
As a result, there is now a scene where Iroh and his party are riding Maromon, and under the guidance of Sister Coco (because of the soul link, Sister Coco can roughly sense the location of the floating island where Rococo is at the moment), and the goal is clearly to move towards the floating island in the middle of the desperate desert.
However, although Iroh followed Sister Coco's advice and changed the target of the expedition from the northeast of the Desperate Desert to the ruins of the floating island in the middle of the Desperate Desert that he had never heard of, this does not mean that Iroh has no doubts about this in his heart, no, if I have to say it, since the first time that Sister Coco followed them to the Desperate Desert, Iroh has already had quite doubts about some things about Sister Coco.
This is also something that cannot be helped, but when Sister Coco first met with Ello, she only planned to understand the reason why the Beast Spirit Clan attacked the Radiant Empire and mediate according to the situation, so her self-proclaimed identity was only an envoy sent by the Goddess of Creation Sect to persuade peace. But now that it is clear that Iroh is no longer involved in this war, but she still followed them to the desperate desert, as the owner of the Godhead Shard, Iroh will naturally not be as easy to fool as those ordinary NPCs, he will naturally wonder why Coco's sister must follow him, and after knowing that he is looking for the fallen God of War Beamon, he can directly tell him where the God of War Beamon is.
Sister Coco has worked hard to come up with some explanations for the fact that their Cult of the Goddess of Creation has always been in contact with the Elemental Race stationed in the Desperate Desert, and just recently through the Order's internal magical communication, she happened to know about the corrupt god of war Beamon violating the borders of order in the desperate desert. Since the war against the Empire launched by the Beast Spirit Clan is not because someone at the top has been corrupted by Chaos, and Ello, the invincible general that the Beast Spirit Clan relies on, has withdrawn from the battlefield, her envoy is naturally a complete success, and what Airo is doing at the moment is something that is beneficial to the order, then she, as a loyal believer of Goddess Arya, is naturally willing to help him.
Iroh just admires strength and acts recklessly, but he is not really intellectually deficient, so he doesn't fully believe in the reason that Coco's sister reluctantly made up. But fortunately, Iroh didn't think that Sister Coco had ill intentions towards him, but only determined that Sister Coco seemed to be hiding some important information and didn't tell him clearly.
For Iro's suspicions, but Sister Coco is also helpless, she basically told him what she could explain to Aelo, and it's like she and Sister Ontology, an NPC and a player, are actually two souls of the same person, or she is actually not an envoy of the Creation Goddess Sect but a second-generation primordial goblin who has not yet awakened, at least not yet I can't confess to Iro, although Iroh seems to be a good person at the moment, but because of the selfishness shown by the beast spirit clan in this war, Sister Coco, they don't have the same trust in Ello and the Beast Spirit Clan as Oranado and the Elemental Ancestors for the time being.
-----
Despite its appearance as tall and bulky, it doesn't seem to be very good at running, but as a riding beast that is best suited to desert environments, Maromon is not slow to move in the desert due to its long legs and wide stride and its hoofs with a special structure suitable for walking in sand. It may not be possible to dash in a short period of time, but when it comes to long-distance trekking, Maromon is definitely the most reliable and efficient way to move through the desert - excludes certain magical vehicles that rely on magical power to gain the ability to move quickly in the desert.
However, despite the fact that Maro Beast has such an excellent load capacity in the desert, at this moment, Coco Sister, who is riding on a Maro Beast at the front of the team, is still a little dissatisfied with the speed of the Maro Beast team.
“…… It seems that Miss Coco is in a hurry? ”
Frowning and looking at the distracted Sister Coco in front of her, the voice of Elo came coldly, and Sister Coco turned her head to see the tall Golden-armored Beamon walking beside her on Maromon, looking at her with some meaningful eyes.
Sister Coco, who knew Ailuo's thoughts very well, didn't know how many intentional temptations Iroh had made along the way, and finally rolled her eyes a little impatiently.
"The Chaos Legion entrenched in the middle of the desperate desert is preparing to move on the border of order, and of course I'm in a hurry."
"Didn't Miss Coco say before that she has a special means of communication and can keep in touch with the elementals in the middle of the desert at any time? Could it be that the elementals' side has already been attacked by Chaos? ”
"That's not true, but since super chaos lords like the fallen god of war Beamon have blatantly appeared in the middle of the desperate desert, it means that the chaos side may officially launch an invasion at any time, and according to our speed, I am afraid it will be difficult to rush to the battlefield in time to support when the chaos side launches an invasion."
Having said that, the younger sister turned her head to look at the golden dragons in the human form who were following Elo. She had already heard from her sister that the reason why they arrived at the floating island in the middle of the desperate desert from the southwest of the desperate desert in one day was thanks to the sky whale that flew all the way with them, if they could use the flight ability of these golden dragons to fly them over, then they could also rush to the battlefield immediately, but unfortunately these golden dragons are almost all pure-blooded golden dragons, with self-esteem proportional to their strong strength, I am afraid that in addition to Elo, the inheritor of the golden dragon knight, who is present, No one, including her, who is now an envoy of the Goddess of Creation Sect, is allowed to ride on their backs by these golden dragons.
Iroh didn't notice that Sister Coco was hitting the golden dragon behind her, because Sister Coco mentioned the name of the fallen god of war Beamon, and Iro instantly walked down, and then looked ahead and spoke.
"If what you said is true, and the Ancestor of Barvom is really in the middle of the Desperate Desert, then I will personally return Lord Barvom to the embrace of the Goddess of Creation."
…… People don't want it.
Arya's voice sounded in the NPC system, and Coco's sister gently "poofed" and tried to control herself from laughing, just about to complain in the system that Arya's words about returning to her arms were not literal, but suddenly she heard the voice of her sister in the soul link.
"Sister Coco, where have you been? Chaos is besieging the Floating Island, come to the rescue as soon as possible!"
