Thanks to the new empire's purge of the lawless lands, the bandits of the wasteland that roamed the lawless lands are no longer to be seen, and although they were previously located on the border, the inhabitants of the oasis were often harassed by bandits, the most important of which was a force called the "Blood-Eyed Bandits", who were stationed near the "Dogtooth Canyon" dozens of kilometers away from the oasis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The name Dogtooth Canyon comes from its precipitous terrain, the Blood-Eyed Bandits occupy the canyon and use it as a camp, and they make a living by raiding nearby towns on weekdays, and occasionally fight the idea of an oasis, but there are resistance forces there and resident patrols to ensure the safety of the residents, so the Blood-Eyed bandits are harassing at most and have never really fought the resistance.

The Resistance thought of getting rid of the Blood-Eyed Bandits once and for all, and more than once sent men to infiltrate the Blood-Eyed Bandits' camp, but they had to give up due to the complex terrain in the Dogtooth Canyon.

Until some time ago, the new imperial army that passed through here to go to the oasis to exterminate the resistance army defeated the blood-eyed bandits entrenched here in one fell swoop, and as a result, a large group of bandits retreated to the inside of the canyon, wanting to use the terrain to resist the attack of the new imperial army.

For this reason, the new imperial army even used drones to drop many incendiary bombs that could burn stones, and at that time, only heart-rending howls were heard everywhere in the canyon, and the mechanical troops responsible for guarding the entrances and exits of the canyon still did not spare any of the blood-eyed bandits.

So the blood-eyed bandits, who had been famous in the northwest corner of the lawless land, were wiped out in this way, and the ghostly atmosphere in the Dogtooth Canyon burned by the flames, even if the scorching sun was on the head, people couldn't help but have a creepy feeling, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the back of the intruder in the dark, and occasionally they could hear intermittent whispers, which sounded so at first glance, and then listened closely, it was plausible, like the sound of a breeze passing through the canyon.

Anyway, the turtledove and the others who were in charge of coming here to explore the way were terrified, not only because of the strange atmosphere here, but also because of the vaguely recognizable tragic images, the remains of the robbers' corpses that had been burned to the point of not being human, and which had become one with the surrounding rocks and ground, and they could roughly distinguish their faces and bodies that had been distorted by the severe pain before they died.

The scorching flames, the molten rocks, the scurrying crowds, the scenes that happened not long ago appeared in Turtledove's mind like going back in time, and he couldn't help but shiver while sitting in the cab controlling the steering wheel, and almost turned the modified pickup truck over.

……

"What are you doing?"

The little insect in the passenger seat hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and finally stopped the car before the pickup truck hit a big rock on the side of the road.

"What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? ”

The turtledove reached out to help the turtledove wipe the sweat beads on his head while talking, the turtledove looked at the worm, and for a while he didn't know how to answer the worm, shaking his head, the turtledove rolled down the window to let the cool breeze outside blow away his thoughts, but with the cool breeze came the smell of burnt paste that permeated the entire Dogtooth Canyon, which made people want to frown.

As the "scout sentinel" who came to explore the way, the modified pickup truck carrying five people is currently at the northern entrance to the Dogtooth Canyon, they are here to see if there are any remaining blood-eyed bandits in the canyon, or the garrison left here by the new empire, if there is, depending on the size of the other party, if it is small, then try to find a way to solve it; If the scale is large, then Lantis will order the follow-up troops to bypass the Dogtooth Canyon.

A detour means that it will take nearly half a month to travel, and in the case that the food is not very sufficient, it is better not to take a detour or try not to detour.

Schultz and Natalia in the back compartment jumped off one after another, and Caitlin, who was in charge of leading the way, also followed to the front of the pickup, and the turtledove, who was breathing a sigh of relief, waved his hand at the worm, indicating that he was fine, and then he pushed the car door and stood next to the three people.

Overhead was a line of sky, and the turtledove looked back beyond the canyon, where three or two vultures were hovering somewhere in the sky as far as the eye could see, and I don't know which unlucky one was on the verge of death, and it was about to become a meal for the vultures.

"This is the Dogtooth Canyon."

Caitlin had heard what the New Empire was doing here, and she quickly told the other four about it, and the worm sniffed lightly and said, "No wonder it smells of barbecue." ”

In fact, the little worm has long noticed the "coke" that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, those are the corpses of the blood-eyed robbers who have been almost burned to ashes, and the most common thing in the outlaw is the corpse, and the blood-eyed canyon can only be said to be a concentration of corpses, and the death is a little miserable, and there is nothing special about it.

"It's all burned like this, there shouldn't be any more blood-eyed bandits, right?"

Schultz walked to the side of a corpse as he spoke, and saw that the remains that had been burned to the point of only the upper half of his body were still crawling in the direction of the entrance to the canyon, Schultz looked left and right, raised his head and said affirmatively:

"Could it be that such a skull can still get up and make a mess? It's not so mysterious. ”

"Smack."

Schultz kicked the corpse's head open, and the latter rolled into a corner with a "drip" - the blood-eyed robbers were inhuman bastards who specialized in looting small villages and towns that had no ability to protect themselves, regardless of population or materials, and would burn the looted towns afterwards to prevent future troubles.

Men who were able to work were either recruited into the Blood-Eyed Bandits, or sold as slaves, not to mention the fate of women, and those who were worthless, such as the elderly, would be killed in batches, using their blood to smear specific patterns around their eyes, which is where the name "Blood-Eyed Robbers" came from.

So in a sense, the new empire has done a good thing. (To be continued.) )
