Chapter 320 - Siander Desert
"Knight Captain Kelan, the first squad is back." A knight came to the door, shaking off some of the sand and dust from his body.
"Good work." Ke Lan stood up from his chair, "Is Knight Ewen back?" ”
"Yes, Captain Knight Korand. She is preparing the Knights. ”
"Did you find anything?"
"Yes, Captain Knight Cool, the first team has spotted some traces of beasts to the west of the intended location." The knight said.
Ke Lan nodded, let the knight leave, and waited at the door, when footsteps came from the stairs.
"Ke Lan, something happened, there was a sandstorm coming, so we had to stop the tracking, but looking at the traces this time, it is estimated that we can find a huge sand beast nest."
"Just do what you can, the western defense line has been attacked twice more today, but fortunately we came in time to stabilize the defense...... The weather was getting colder, and the beasts probably wanted to gather more food before they could get tough. ”
"God knows if they have the habit of storing food, after all, the dead sand beasts are also their best food."
Colan nodded, "There's news from Fate, and Veir has returned to Birch Town. ”
"Really? I think our hero friends will want to do something when they see their statues...... Isn't there anything interesting? Yiwen smiled slightly, making Ke Lan swoon.
“…… Well...... There is another one, when Veir left, the pirates also seemed to have been attacked by demons, and it is said that Vere led the people to defeat the demon. ”
"Do you know who summoned the demon?" Yiwen's expression was serious, and Ke Lan also felt cute.
"It's the pirate leader, Wolf."
"It turned out to be him...... Well, it should have been thought of a long time ago...... What's going on lately, to be honest, the mayor said that the reason why there are more sand beasts here may also be because of the demon infestation. ”
Ke Lan thought for a moment, "If that's the case, with Weir's luck, shouldn't he have come here too?" Hahaha......"
"It seems to be true, twice, wherever there is Veel, there will be demons...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes that he had defeated the demon, I would have really thought it was the demon he had summoned. ”
"Maybe this is the difference between heroes and ordinary people, after all, with such luck, it is not good to say whether he is lucky or unlucky."
"To have strength is to be lucky, and to have no strength is to be unlucky. …… Most of the people don't have the strength, so it's bad luck to follow him. Yiwen said.
"Haha, I like that." Ke Lan said with a smile.
"Am I saying this ridiculous?" Yiwen's eyes wrinkled and glared at Ke Lan, who scratched her head in embarrassment.
Yiwen turned and walked down, "It's nothing, I went first. ”
"Captain Knight Coolant! Captain Ewen Knight! A patrol soldier came to the bottom of the stairs in a huff and shouted to the two men on the stairs and upstairs, "Mr. Fatt has asked me to bring news that Mr. Wille is coming here!" ”
Ke Lan and Yiwen glanced at each other when they heard the patrolman's words.
"I'm going to call all the knights who went out on patrol back......" "I'm going to call back all the knights who went out on patrol!"
"Captain! Captain Kelan! At this time, one of the knights also ran past Ali and said to Kelan, "The second team has found traces of demons in the northern and central part of the desert!" Many strange things attacked the knights, and although they escaped, many were injured! ”
The pupils of the two dilated. "Damn!"
……
Siander Desert can be said to be the most desolate area on the Star Spirit Continent, it lies between the family collar and Birch Town, and is flanked by high mountains and cliffs full of ups and downs.
There are many sand people in the desert, but most of them are also gathered in the oases of the desert, and there are also directions close to the family collar and Birch Town.
In a sense, the Sandfolk are also made up of people from both sides, most of whom are criminals, crooks and murderers, who initially aim to escape, and after that, a new order is formed.
The order was even more barbaric, with the abundant metal and gold mines in the desert making them rich and full of force, but the number of oases limited the population, and the barren desert made it impossible for the sand people to grow food, so raiding became a tradition for the sand people.
In battle with the beasts that rampant in the desert, it is not surprising that they have developed a wild way of fighting, making the people on both sides miserable, and then setting up a defensive line.
Of course, the Sandfolk are definitely not the worst trouble, after all, the Sandfolk, like the townspeople, are able to communicate, and may have been neighbors a long time ago.
As long as the sandfolk are allowed to complete the raiding indicators, they generally do not really want the lives of the people who come and go.
So for the townspeople, the real threat to the desert is the sand beasts that spread all over the desert, as well as the power of demons that have quietly appeared recently...... Of course, this was only learned after the knights discovered traces of suspected demons.
The sand beast, in fact, is a kind of dog-like thing, and the mages of the family leader like to domesticate these things a little, so that they can be used as defensive guards for their towers, and of course, there are some unlucky ghosts who have died at the hands of their own sand beasts.
This seemed to the people of Birch Town and the Church, and the Church knights were convinced that these damned beasts with a three-petaled, petaled mouth were demonic minions...... As long as it's bad, it's all the devil's minions. And the minions of demons, are evil monsters that cannot be tamed.
While the people of Birch Town complain that the church doesn't have a name, they are convinced of what they say.
And with the help of the church in Birchtown, more and more people believe this statement.
In order to distinguish the sand dog from this kind of thing, people call this kind of thing a sand beast.
Of course, it's not just this sand beast in the desert, but also vultures that eat corpses, lizards covered in grass, and some strange animals.
And the last thing is something that everyone avoids...... That's the strange movement that has been happening in the desert of Sander lately, the strange fluctuations in the eyes of the family mages, and the increasing frequency of sand beast attacks in Birch Town.
In this situation, at noon one day, Will, with Andergast, who must follow him, came to the edge of the Siand Desert, where Ewen and Colan were stationed.
Because of the images in the scrolls, Weir was sure that even if he couldn't find any trace of the two men in the desert, he would find some clues in the desert.
Fatt said that he would send someone to inform the people at the border of his arrival, that is, to tell Yiwen and Kelan.
Ewen promised herself that the knights would help her find the clues she needed.
Moreover, although Vere was a little relieved of Ollie's ability, Vere was not worried about the situation of the two, and the sooner he could find the two of them, it was the best choice.
So, when the garrison appeared in front of him, Wiel couldn't help but speed up the horses. The two of them quickly came to the side post.
"Hello, I'm looking for Knight Ewen." Ver explained his intentions to the knight standing there, and the knight let the two of them into the outpost.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Vere." Yiwen didn't see it, but Ke Lan quickly found Wei Er, and it could be seen that Ke Lan's injuries had not completely healed. "Come in, Ewen went out with the knight squad, and before you came, there were traces of demons and some strange creatures in the depths of the desert."
"Demons?!" Wille was surprised to say that he didn't expect to hear about the demon so quickly, "I just found the demon when I arrived with you...... That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?! ”
