The cavalrymen who were caught up in it naturally couldn't escape Kessler's palms, after all, not all creatures could withstand the feeling of being thrown from a height of 100 meters.

Even if he is still alive, there is only one breath left, and in this desert, there is no difference from the death penalty.

"Brilliant attack, Miss."

Uther, who came back first, expressed his encouragement and gratitude to Ellie, saying that it was indeed difficult to catch up with the humans on camels.

"It's nothing... Just what about Kessler? ”

Ellie subconsciously turned her face away, still not used to the feeling of being praised by a group of people.

It was a knife technique a long time ago, but due to strength and magic, this is also the first time she has used it, and it seems to work very well, but the requirements for magic power are still a bit big.

But just now, Xiaobai told himself that as long as he honed his skills, the various sword techniques and swordsmanship that existed in his brain would require less magic power.

That's naturally the best.,Demonization naturally requires magic power.,While enhancing magic power,Reducing expenses is also an option.。

"He needs to take care of the aftermath, Miss. However, we can interrogate the Turk first. ”

"I'll leave it to you."

She didn't know Turkic yet, and Uther took a step forward and said a bunch of words that he didn't understand at all, while the humans on the ground didn't speak, just looked at him.

Instead of looking at the two on the other side, she and the Messiah chased the camels back and healed them.

There is still a long way to go, and camels are a very important necessity, at least within this Tuyuhun area.

Just in time, Kessler, who was riding a camel over there, also rushed back, but his turban hung in his bag behind his back. In the air, only his formless body was exposed, but it was mixed with some sand, which made his body a little yellow.

The same is true for the facial features, except for a phanthropic shadow, if it is not for the reference of the clothes, then it is completely impossible to tell where the other party is looking.

"Thank you for your help, Miss.

It's easy for a few humans over there to deal with, but... Take more time. ”

When he spoke, the phantom was the same as usual, and there was nothing different about it. It's just that where the voice came from, no one knows.

"Nothing ......"

"Uther, how's it going?"

The Messiah, who was treating the camels, asked without raising his head, and over there, Uther was rubbing the blade of his axe, and the Turks were already in a different place.

"It's pretty much the same as previously speculated, just a group of humans who are hostile to each other.

We look too much like Persians, and some of our outfits are too appealing to them. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the scimitar at the Messiah's waist.

"It's so gorgeous that people have to estimate who we are."

The Fallen Angel gave him a blank look, and then said.

"I saw that it was somewhat similar to what the Persian humans had taken, so I naturally took it out and used it.

This is a weapon given to me by the Most High God, and I am not willing to take it out in order to disguise myself as a human being. ”

"But we at least know why, don't we?"

She took some water and gold from the corpses, and some letters, and gave them to Uther, who took them, and said as she looked at them.

"That's right...... But as long as we pass through the Tuyuhun country, we were already swaggering enough in the Western Turks when we came, and there was no reason to deliberately hide when we went back.

At that point, though, be careful of the Zoroastrian priests over there.

They should still be tracking us. ”

"What's written in this letter?"

Leading her camel, Ellie asked as she stared at Kessler, who had re-bandaged her turban.

"Something less important, Miss.

It's just about the materials and troops in Dunhuang City, and it seems that they plan to investigate. ”

……

……

……

The Tuyuhun kingdom was the first country to accept Buddhism on the Tibetan Plateau, and it can be speculated that the future Tibetan Buddhism spread from here.

But the country's political position is almost surrounded by enemies, and it is not strong enough to overcome its neighbors.

However, there is an advantage that they have geographical limitations, so that the enemy cannot penetrate deep into the hinterland of the rule, but can only rule indirectly, as long as the ruler is not stupid, then it will definitely not hurt the roots.

Another advantage is that it also has a grasp of a stretch of the Silk Road, and the profits from commerce also allow them to make a lot of money.

And Erli and the others passed through the control of Tuyuhun and came to the Western Regions under the rule of the Western Turks.

The nominal Turkic Khanate was extremely complex in its rule, and the khan had to maintain a strong military force at all times in order to ensure the stability of the country.

Otherwise, he will soon be replaced by a new powerful one.

The countries of the Western Regions were under the rule of the Western Turkic Khanate, and they were weak and weak, and after resisting to no avail, they had to choose to surrender.

Huge quantities of gold, livestock, and slaves, were paid annual tribute to the suzerain, and thanks to the Silk Road, they were able to hold out for so long without being overwhelmed by the huge demands.

But on the other hand, there was non-interference with the permission of the Turkic Khanate, and everything within the territory was left to them.

Because it is easier to plunder than to govern the country.

“……… Oasis? ”

Surprised, Erli looked at the Western Regions city in the middle of nowhere, and was surprised.

She had thought that this was a desert everywhere, or that even if it was an oasis, it was a small area, but she saw an oasis of great size, and even, from the slightly humid air, she could even see the traces of a lake.

"This is a gift to these humans, Miss.

But, I don't know if they know how to be grateful. ”

Kessler, who rarely answered, stared into the distance, while the few remaining people were puzzled.

Seeing them like this, he sighed and said.

"It's an oasis country.

But they don't know why they are cutting down this precious oasis. ”

“…… To show off your identity. ”

Ulther, who was more experienced, answered Kessler's question, looked at the thriving commercial city, and then looked into the distance, and spoke slowly.

"Here, wood and water are both precious representatives.

And the best items that symbolize the identity of the owner of the mausoleum are not these wood and gold? ”

“……… Are they crazy..."

Pity muttered, although she didn't know the principle, she definitely knew that once the oasis was cut down, the hard-won water source would also disappear.

Eventually, all that will be left is the often dry river, the dead branches long buried under the desert, and the dead city.

“… No, short-sightedness is the essence of most human beings. ”

And the Messiah looked at the bustling crowd and was not in the slightest moved by their future.
