Chapter 36: Please enter the urn
"Du...... a voice that has never appeared in this era, hovering endlessly over the desolate Hexi Corridor, this huge sound makes the hares, roe deer, and wolves in the wilderness scatter and flee.
In this era when the Central Plains government was weak and wars were frequent, the ancient Silk Road was almost cut off. The once prosperous Hexi Corridor is now inhabited.
So, no one knew that more than twenty steel monsters were running wildly in the open and flat wild.
In order to hunt down Bai Qi, Johnson and the Tiger team prepared off-road motorcycles for everyone this time, and fortunately, these off-road motorcycles were able to exert their effects in this northwest desert area.
More than 20 off-road motorcycles, specializing in flat and empty places galloping, encountered obstacles that really could not be passed, everyone directly put the motorcycles into the storage space, crossed the obstacles on foot, and then continued to ride.
In this way, it took only more than two days for the convoy to cross the Hexi Corridor of nearly 1,000 kilometers.
And what this team didn't know was that dozens of kilometers behind them, there was also an off-road motorcycle, tracking the ruts left by their motorcycle, all the way to the west......
The gang of horse thieves in Togo Heihachiro is called the Golden Harrier, and he is also a veteran horse thief who has been crisscrossing the Northwest Road for many years.
The former head of the Golden Harrier was nicknamed the Golden Harrier, and it is rumored that he was a descendant of the Uighur nobility.
The Uighur Khanate had long since fallen, and most of the tribes were destroyed and annexed by the nearby Xinsheng tribes.
After the Golden Harrier achieved great martial arts, he pulled up a group of horse thieves composed of Uighur slaves and crisscrossed the northwest, hoping to restore the prosperity of the Uighurs in the past. But this talent is ordinary, and he has been tossing for more than ten years. Still a horse thief.
Heihachiro Togo's identity as the second leader of the Golden Harrier is that he is dissatisfied with the unrealistic ideals of the Golden Harrier and rebels.
The quick-witted Heihachiro Togo after the chaos at the beginning of the mission. reacted quickly, taking advantage of the fact that most of the ordinary horse thieves in the Golden Harrier Horse Thieves were content with the status quo and dissatisfied with the unrealistic and ideal situation of the Golden Harrier, they incited the crowd and successfully isolated the Golden Harrier, and finally besieged the other party to death.
Located at the foot of Kunlun, near the edge of the desert of the Tarim Basin, the Golden Harriers occupy an oasis fed by glacial meltwater from the Kunlun Mountains.
The Golden Harrier's nest is located in the former wasp thief's nest. It is directly south of the current Black Eagle Grassland, and the distance between the two is about 300 kilometers, with a desert in between.
Johnson and Tiger left the Hexi Corridor with their men, and according to the map sent by Heihachiro Togo, they followed the empty wasteland at the foot of the western foot of Kunlun and headed west.
Half a day later, a touch of green appeared at the foot of the desolate mountain ahead, and Johnson knew that it was the old nest of the Golden Harrier.
Johnson pulls out the communicator. Tried to contact Heihachiro Togo.
The communication was quickly connected, and Togo's face in the video was slightly pale.
Johnson is not surprised, Takeda had news before, some time ago there was a fierce conflict between the Golden Harrier and the old enemy Black Wolf. Not only were several space warriors killed in the battle, but even Heihachiro Togo was seriously injured.
Among the more than ten large teams in the space, Asahi's strength belongs to the bottom category. But the Knights Hospitaller weren't any better, or they wouldn't be considered vassals of the Cross. So Johnson, who looks arrogant in the face of the Huya team, is in the face of Dongxiang. But it seems polite.
He first greeted Togo's injury, and Togo thanked him with the humility characteristic of the Japanese, saying that his injury was completely irrelevant, just that he had lost too much blood.
Afterwards, Togo welcomed them and told them that he had prepared food and hot water.
Riding in the desert with no roads for three days, even the strong physique of the space soldier was a little unbearable, and after listening to Dongxiang's words, Johnson, who has always been strong, couldn't help but feel a little eager in his heart.
The off-road motorcycles, which had been tormented by bad roads for three days, were almost at the limit at this time, but everyone did not care to speed up, and as soon as they arrived at the Golden Harrier camp, the mission of these motorcycles was completed.
Soon, a grassland with some withered yellow color appeared in front of the convoy.
In the middle of the steppe was a lake of nearly one square kilometer, and about a kilometer north of the lake, there was a stockade surrounded by stone walls, and in the center of the stockade was a rough and rudimentary stone fort.
Around the lake, many horse thieves are grazing, and on the north side of the lake is a small stream that almost runs dry and leads to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains in the south.
This lake is a seasonal lake, every summer, the glacier meltwater on the Kunlun Mountains will fill the lake, at that time, the area of the lake will expand several times, and around the lake will form several seasonal streams, moistening the grassland, into autumn, the glacial meltwater will gradually decrease, the area of the lake will gradually shrink, in the driest time of winter, the lake will even completely dry up, at that time, is the most difficult time for the golden harrier.
There are not many horse thieves in the stone village, most of the horse thieves are distributed around the village, most of them are taking care of the horses, and some are lazily basking in the sun.
The horse thieves all looked at them strangely, but everyone didn't think it was strange, after all, the motorcycle under their butts was indeed strange in the eyes of people in this era.
Johnson and his party rode until the gate of the stone village before getting off the motorcycle, and the horse thief who guarded the door, without waiting for orders, opened the gate and put Johnson and his party inside.
At the door of the stone castle in the center of the stone village, no one greeted him, which made Johnson slightly unhappy.
With a feeling of displeasure, Johnson walked through the stone village and stepped into the gate of the stone castle.
Inside the stone castle is an empty hall, at the end of the hall, a three-foot-high stone platform is placed on a large Taishi chair, Togo Heihachiro sits on the Taishi chair steadily, and a warrior presses the hilt of his sword, bowing his head and standing beside him.
On both sides of the hall, there were two rows of slightly smaller Taishi chairs, and the four space warriors under Heihachiro Togo sat upright in the four Taishi chairs at the top, and the four indigenous horse thief leaders sat below.
There were also more than thirty indigenous horse thief leaders standing around the hall, and it seemed that Togo Heihachiro had gathered all the small leaders of the Golden Harrier in this hall.
Seeing this scene, Johnson was even more displeased, what does Heihachiro Togo mean by putting this kind of score on himself who is also a space warrior? It's inexplicable!
This displeasure made him glare at Togo Heihachiro's face, and Togo Heihachiro's face showed a bright smile, and at the same time, behind everyone, the gate of the stone castle slammed shut.
The sound of the stone castle gate slamming shut finally alerted Johnson and Tiger, and Johnson stared at Heihachiro Togo and asked, "Togo, what do you want to do?" What does that mean? ”
Hearing Johnson's question, the bright smile on Togo Heihachiro's face turned into a wry smile that was uglier than crying.
The warrior beside Heihachiro Togo, who had been standing with his head bowed, raised his head at this time, revealing a handsome face.
The tiger was shocked and said, "Bai Qi! ”
Hearing the tiger's scream, Johnson also changed color in shock, turned over his hand and took out the sword and shield from the storage space, and shouted at Heihachiro Togo, "Togo, what do you mean by this, do you want to start a war between the two teams?" ”
Bai Qi walked to Dongxiang's Taishi chair, clapped his hands and said, "Your Excellency Johnson, I think you misunderstood Mr. Dongxiang......
As he spoke, he reached out and lifted Togo's tightly wrapped cloak, revealing his body.
Seeing Togo's crippled body, Johnson and the others changed color in shock.
I saw that on the body under Dongxiang's cloak, his arms were broken at the shoulder, and his legs were cut off at the knees, and he became a stick. (To be continued......)
