"Humph! Count those fools in luck. Bloom didn't have a good face on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart. If the lone mechanical armor fails to retreat with the large army in time and falls into the enemy's encirclement, most of them will be dismantled into scrap metal on the spot by the sand bandits who are holding back their anger.

The "Steel Cavalry" carried out Bloom's orders, turned in unison, restarted the booster engine, and quickly left the battlefield.

The sand bandits on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the group of steel giants turn and retreat, their spinning propellers raising pillars of yellow dragon-like sand and dust behind them. However, the supreme orders from the governor of the Medes shattered their happiness for the rest of their lives and demanded that they pursue the enemy.

The "Four Great Bandits" truthfully conveyed Mayer's orders, and with intimidation and inducement, they finally regathered the morale of the bandits and chased the butts of the "Steel Cavalry" to launch a counterattack.

At this time, the 2nd Regiment of Armored Knights had arrived on the banks of the Crescent River, and Bloom ordered the whole army to turn around, turn back to face the tracking sand bandits, and shoot the few remaining shells, suppressing the momentum of the opponent's pursuit with a round of ferocious firepower, and buying time for the half-giant militia who were crossing the wooden bridge behind them.

Five minutes later, Sand Rose led the half-giant militia battalion across the Crescent River and successfully rendezvoused with the Second Regiment of Armored Knights. Armed with shields and spears, the half-giants scattered around the "steel cavalry", providing them with flank protection, forming a tight line of defense.

When the sand bandits saw this battle, the fighting spirit they had just mentioned was half cold.

"In the face of the enemy's defensive position composed of steel giants and half-giants, what is the difference between rushing up stupidly and sending them to death?" Tails shook his head and sighed.

"We've got to find a way around that line." Jenna thought as her gaze moved back and forth along the riverbank. However, it was disappointing to find that the enemy's chosen position happened to block the bridge across the river, and the surrounding space was so small that there was no room for detours.

The two sides maintained a standoff, and the minutes and seconds passed. The battle in the air continues, but everyone can see that the "Wind Knights" have been encircled and are not far from collapse.

"The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us......," Jenna couldn't help but retreat, "what's the point of such a stalemate?" ”

Tails was silent.

Chuck's eyes flickered.

The old troll Coze walked around irritably.

None of the "Four Greats" wanted to continue this desperate battle, but who dared to be the first to stand up and disobey Meyer's orders? It takes a lot of courage.

Jenna took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "Either we will ...... first" The word "retreat" choked in her throat before she could say it, and a red ball of light quietly appeared in front of her.

Jenna stretched out her hand to hold the ball of light and read the magic information, her face changed, and she suddenly turned to look at the opposite position.

Dawn is beginning to appear on the horizon, and the Crescent River is sparkling. A large amount of sediment suddenly erupted from the soft river beach, and pillars of sand rose into the sky, like a row of yellow and clear fountains.

The flying sand and dust obscured the vision of the half-giant militia and armored knights, and there was a commotion on the battlefield. At the same time, hundreds of sandworms sprang out of the pits of mud and sand, and fiercely pounced on the nearby mechanical armor, entangled the legs and feet of these steel giants and pulled hard, with a thud, many of them fell to the river beach.

"Quick! Stop those abominable sandworms! Sand Rose shouted with "amplification".

The half-giant militia hurriedly rushed at the sandworms wrapped around the mechanical armor, stabbing with spears in an attempt to drive the giant worms away. However, these sandworms are not wild species, they are all well-trained, and they twist their bodies nimbly to dodge spear stabs, and launch a counterattack against the half-giants with their poisonous tail needles. The Median knights, who had leaned over the back of the sandworm, also jumped down and slashed their swords at the demigiants attacking their mounts. Compared to the militia in Sweetwater, the "Sandworm Knight" trained by General Manfred himself was obviously more skilled, and the moment the two sides fell into a melee, the situation was reversed.

"It's General Manfred's 'Sand Knights'! Here's our chance! With a look of ecstasy, Jenna waved her hand and ordered her adjutant to blow the horn, and the "Crimson Regiment" took the lead in the charge.

The loud sound of trumpets echoed in the morning light on the Gobi Desert, and the four major sand bandit groups swept towards the river beach position like a roaring sandstorm.

Jenna blessed herself with a variety of powerful arcane arts, and jumped directly in front of Sand Rose across the chaotic battlefield with a "random door", and her gorgeous face was full of smirks.

Sand Rose was summoning natural allies with the "Oasis Staff", and when she saw the half-scorpion sorceress teleporting over, she quickly stopped casting the spell and called her animal companion sandworm "Bena" to come out and join forces against this vicious female bandit.

"Hehe, Sand Rose, this is our first time fighting, and it will be the last, let's die obediently!"

Facing the siege of the Druid Lady and the sandworms, Jenna sneered instead, slapped her backhand on her chest, and finally added an extremely violent arcane art—the 6-Ring Tamson Transfiguration Technique!

Warlocks are usually not as good as druids of the same level, but Jenna is an exception, and the Half-Scorpion's innate strength and a variety of melee enhancement spells make her a beautiful and ruthless killing machine at the moment!

……

"Your Royal Highness! Captain Aurora has just sent the latest information from the front line, the 2nd Armored Knight Regiment and the half-giant militia battalion have been ambushed by a large swarm of sandworms on the south bank of the Crescent River! ”

At Mochizuki Command, Yudothea, who had been in contact with the Giant Eagle Sentinels, received another piece of bad news.

"Sandworm ......," Roland turned to look at Joseph Davidovich, "this is the so-called 'Sand Knights' in the Medes?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, the 'Sand Knights' are in action, this force is led by the famous Canaanite general Manfred, and the five hundred knights are all good at controlling the sandworms, and they can hold their breath for a long time and attach themselves to the backs of the sandworms, and accompany the mounts to dig holes in the soft sand and sneak around, until the weak area of the opponent's position is to dig the ground and launch a surprise attack, Colonel Bloom and Sand Rose are most likely to fall into Manfred's plot, and the situation is probably not optimistic." Joseph said worriedly.

"This trick is indeed difficult to guard against, if the enemy is only five hundred sand worm knights, in fact, the threat is not big, the second regiment of armored knights and the half-giant people's battalion are not difficult to deal with calmly after stabilizing their positions, the problem is that there are four major sand bandit groups on the opposite side of the Gobi Desert, and the 'four big bandits' will not miss this good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob." Veronica's face was gone.

"According to the reconnaissance of the Giant Eagle Sentinel, the two elite units of the Medes have been put into battle, and now the question is whether Meyer still has reserves in his hands?" Roland asks a question that seems unrelated to the current situation.
