Chapter 33: Desert Bandits
As the time passed, and gradually it was evening, and since there were no road signs in the desert, it was not convenient to travel at night, so the workers stopped their work, lit a bonfire and set up tents in the oasis. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Xiao also stayed here, this was also the first time he was preparing to spend the night in the open air, although the base camp was not here, he was not worried.
In addition to the hundreds of workers working, more than two hundred soldiers are stationed here, and there is no need to worry about safety at all.
Lin Xiao set up a grill and grilled fish directly here, he promised chocolate.
Since he had made his own barbecue before, he was still very familiar with this aspect, but unfortunately there was only salt and no other seasonings.
But the fish are delicious, and even with a little salt, they are very tasty.
Chocolate sat on a wooden chair next to it, and tasted it with relish, almost like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
"That should increase your opinion by 10 points." Lin Xiao looked at the side face of the chocolate and muttered a little excitedly.
Chocolate was stunned for a moment, stopped his mouth movements, turned his head, and said to himself: "Favorability, up?" ”
Lin Xiao's face changed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition......
"Ben Meow remembered.,Human beings, you used to play love type games.,It seems to have a favorability setting.,After reaching the full fingers......"
Speaking of this, Chocolate seemed to remember something, her cheeks flushed, and she pointed at Lin Xiao and said angrily:
"You pervert, stay away from Benmeow!"
Watching the chocolate run away as if it were running away, Lin Xiao's originally excited heart suddenly calmed down, looking at the appearance of the chocolate, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future, and the game is really a lie......
As the night passed, the sky was slightly brighter, and the workers continued to work.
Lin Xiao found that the chocolate looked strange at her, and deliberately kept a distance of 1 meter.
Now is not the time to care about this, the Scout has bad news, a group of more than 30 humanoids is heading here.
They resemble humans, but their fur and skin are light gray, they are only 1.5 meters tall on average, and they are dressed in rudimentary cloth and armed with slender scimitars.
Let's call them the Greys.
There are only 20 gray men equipped with weapons, and the remaining 10 or so are not only unarmed and unarmed, but also have tattered clothes and chains on their bodies, helping to transport goods.
Not surprisingly, the front 20 people were supposed to be robbers, and the back were slaves transporting goods.
For the gray man bandits, Lin Xiao was not very interested, what interested him was the gray man robbers 3 horses.
These 3 horses are thin and not very big, I don't know if they are malnourished.
The genes of these horses were very important to Lin Xiao, and with horses, he could form his own cavalry.
Modern warfare has eliminated cavalry, but that is not to say that cavalry is not important, at least until the guns come out, it is still very powerful.
When he was sure that the other party was just a group of robbers equipped with cold weapons, Lin Xiao was still a little uneasy, and gathered all the soldiers.
To fight or not to fight?
Soon Lin Xiao made a decision, at present, those gray robbers are preparing to come to this oasis, even if he doesn't fight, he will be discovered.
These people are different from the Greys, what if these Greys spread their news and attract a large group of Greys?
At worst, the Greys here are afraid that they have established a state, and it is likely that tens of thousands of troops will be sent to search, and the spatial rift may also be discovered.
All of Lin Xiao's soldiers add up to less than 2,000, and he is not an opponent at all, even if he is forced to Xiaozhou, only the gray man sends troops to be stationed here, he has no way.
He had already lost a place to plunder resources, and he didn't want to lose a second.
Lin Xiao directly let the soldiers ambush him, this group of gray robbers can't let go of one!
The wind and sand rose, and in the center of the procession, a robber on a horse covered his eyes with his hands, turned his head to look at the robber on horseback in the center, and said, "Boss, there is an oasis ahead." ”
The robber boss did not speak, his face remained calm, and the team was still on the way as before.
Suddenly, the robber boss raised his hand, all the robbers stopped, and the slaves became nervous.
"Boss?" The robber who had spoken before looked puzzled, not understanding why he had stopped.
"Gray West, don't you feel a chill?" Gray Sha said in a hoarse voice.
The man named Gray West shook his head, and the gray sand on the side didn't say much, he could feel that if he was moving forward, he was afraid that something bad would happen.
Looking at Gray Sha's cautious expression, Gray West reminded: "But, Boss, we don't have much water. ”
Gray Sand fell silent and said, "In this case, send a few slaves to check on the situation." ”
Ash West nodded, got off the horse, and walked to the back with 2 two robber accomplices, looking at the slaves indifferently.
"You, you and you...... Come out for me! ”
The named slave looked very panicked, stood in place and did not dare to take a step forward, and the two robbers beside him were discouraged when they saw this, and they drew their whips and beat them several times, and these slaves gave in and stood up obediently.
"Go, go to the front, remember not to run, or ......," said Gray West as he lit up his scimitar.
The three slaves were sweating profusely, nervous and uneasy, and walked towards the oasis.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, the three slaves finally saw the oasis and found the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the sandy slope.
Before the three slaves could exclaim, their eyes turned red, and they didn't care about the soldiers, and ran towards the oasis with no mercy.
The robbers in the distance only saw 3 slaves heading straight for the oasis and did not notice anything abnormal, and Gray West finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the gray sand on the side was still frowning, he sighed, and said, "I hope it's my delusion." ”
The group continued on their way, and soon came to the sandy slope where the three slaves had passed, where it was clear that the oasis seemed to have been destroyed.
"Bad ......"
Gray Sha still said something, only to see a dozen tall soldiers jumping out of the sand slope, and not far from both sides I don't know when dozens of soldiers appeared.
Arrows flew from the sky, killing several robbers at once, and the three horses were also frightened and threw off the robbers on their backs.
"Throw away all the cargo and retreat!"
He couldn't understand why 3 slaves could be so well disguised, and he couldn't understand how the oasis could ambush so many well-armed soldiers.
And the appearance of these soldiers is too strange, how can there be such a tall person in the world, still yellow-skinned.
Now is not the time to think about that, saving your life is the most important thing!
It's just that there are too many of these soldiers, because of their height advantage and speed are faster than the robbers, they quickly blocked their back road, and there is no way to escape.
