Chapter 156: Death Desert

Leia is a country, even if it is a small country, but it is still a country with independent autonomy, as long as it is a power that reaches the national level, no matter how much attention is given to it. So Rhodes was not idle all night, and the entire 30,000 battle puppets, except for the 1,000 that left to guard the villa, were all sent by Rhodes to find an oasis in the desert.

After thinking about it, Rhodes also understood why the king thought that the four of them would be able to destroy Leia.

The terrain of the Northwest Desert is very special, ordinary people can only survive in the oasis, once they get lost in the desert, there is only one way to die. Although it allowed Leia to use the terrain advantage to drag down the enemy, for the actions of the four Rhodes, the desert became a cage that restricted Leia, because Leia people are also human beings and cannot survive in the desert for a long time on their own.

Lea's special national culture, except for the capital built on a large oasis, the rest of the people are formed around the oasis, and move autonomously with the changes of the oasis, ready to move at any time before the dust storm annihilates the oasis, which leads to the king's lack of control over the settlement, and the desert environment has to compromise him.

The form of the settlement also leads to a problem, that is, many settlement residents do not recognize the king and only recognize the settlement elders, which is manifested in the lack of centripetal force in the country of Laia, and once something happens, it is likely that there will be a bad situation of each family sweeping the snow in front of their own doors.

Although all this is not a good thing for the country of Raea, it is a great thing for the four invaders of Rod, which means that as long as the trip goes well, it may happen that after cutting off most of the settlement, the king of Lea can find out that something is wrong.

Of course, it must not be ignored that Leia is a country, and it is likely that it will use a variety of methods of governance like the Kingdom of Sartre, such as using magic contracts and special runes to control the elders of each settlement, or the elders of the settlement have some kind of remote communication means that can send the invasion information to the king remotely.

This night, after Rhodes narrowed his eyes, in addition to thinking about this operation, he was concentrating on controlling the battle puppets to confirm the accuracy of intelligence, especially the location of the desert oasis.

The desert oasis can change at any time, and in ancient times some people regarded it as a curse, and in modern times, some magistors said that the elements under the Northwest Desert are too dense to form the Northwest Desert. And every time the elements riot, the oasis will be annihilated by the sandstorm and reappear somewhere, because the elements that make up the oasis have been squeezed elsewhere.

Only the oasis where the capital of the country of Leia is located has enough elements of each system to suppress the earth element, and to achieve a balance with the earth element.

After so many years, the specific rules have long been figured out, so the location where the oasis may appear is on the information given by the Storm Legion, but there is no ready-made way to confirm it.

Rhodes sent the battle puppets to confirm the location of the oasis at this time.

The night passed quickly, and the Northwest Desert was too large and sparsely populated, but a night of exploration finally confirmed the recent locations where the oases might have been, and confirmed the existence of one of the settlements.

The battle puppet monitored the settlement, and in the second half of the night, Rhodes fell asleep completely, and was woken up by the voices of three girls at the height of the day.

"Hurry up, Daphne has completely recovered her spirits, Daphne is going to turn this desert into the underworld, Harahaharahara."

Goth Lori was not at all like the little girl of last night, and stretched out energetically.

"It's useless, elemental-dense areas."

I don't know if it's an illusion, the expressionless Marianne's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Okay, you two, now that you've come to your senses, let's start the combat meeting, and you are absolutely not allowed to be mixed up this time."

Simone rubbed her temples, covered her mouth with her hand, and yawned.

Rhodes sat up, his magic swiped on his face, and his skin was cleaned in an instant: "Speaking of combat meetings, it is better to listen to the results of my efforts last night." ”

"The result?"

The three of them said they didn't know why.

Blue light flashed around Rhodes, disappeared and reappeared in an instant, and there was already an extra lunch box in his hand: "Well, after you fell asleep last night, I summoned the battle puppet to explore the surrounding environment and found two oases, one of which has a settlement on it. ”

"It turns out that there is still this trick, tsk, Daphne must have thought of it, but she forgot to use it for a while."

"Stupid, I can't think of it."

"Do you call me stupid?"

Daphne and Marianne were playing around, and Simone surprisingly didn't stop them.

"Huh!? The minister ...... last night Ahem...... Rhodes didn't sleep last night...... ”

I don't know what I thought, Simone's face turned red.

Rod shook his head and divided the lunch box into four parts, his expression slightly meaningful: "That's why I'm the minister, and you're just a deputy minister." ”

For some reason, Simone suddenly felt that the minister, who had always been unreliable, had become so tall, and with a bang, a huge cloud of steam slowly rose from the back of her head, and her head heated up rapidly, Simone's rock body started autonomously, and the power of the earth wrapped her head, Simone's sanity was clear, and she immediately returned to her senses.

Angry.

"What does this have to do with whether it is a minister or not! It's the power of the earth that's working!! Don't think I can't feel the elemental power of the desert!! ”

Simone's face flushed, and her voice was loud and high-pitched. Daphne and Marianne shuddered, instinctively hugged each other, and looked at Simone vigilantly.

Rod clapped his hands: "Okay, hurry up and eat, we are not here for a vacation, at most only half a month." ”

After the meal, when the group finally regained their normal colors, Marianne reached into the shadow and took out a map of the Northwest Desert, which marked the capital of the country of Leia.

Even Daphne would not rush into the desert unprepared, let alone walk on foot in the desert knowing that time was pressing.

Everything she did yesterday was to adapt to the environment of the Great Desert, and Marianne and Simone had similar ideas, but Simone obviously wanted to use the time to make more plans, and she didn't expect Rhodes to have the ability to teleport.

After some deliberation, the plan was finally decided.

"First of all, we have to avoid contact with the capital of Leia for the time being, no matter how poor Leia is, after a hundred years of developing only one city, it will definitely become as strong as a fortress."

"That's right, this generation of young kings is more radical than previous generations, he is more concerned about building the country, and it is even rumored that he has personally penetrated into the desert, as if to find gold mines to strengthen the country."

"Loopholes."

"That's right, this also creates a loophole, the bond between the king and the settlement is only by some special means, but it is relatively independent, as long as the settlement can be destroyed quietly, it will be difficult for the king to detect the invasion by the enemy, and given our time constraints, even the settlement needs to submit regular reports to the king do not have to be taken into account."

Daphne shook her calves in boredom: "To put it simply, Marianne is investigating the enemy, and we are trying to find a way to deal with the elder to prevent him from telling the king the news of the invasion, and then after destroying the settlement, we will gather all our forces to besiege the royal capital." ”
