Chapter 159: The Return Trip

The events in Siwa seem to have come to an end.

The funeral in the royal palace was held in a wide area of the royal cemetery, and the people who came to attend were not invited except for several important people in Siwa City, including the leader of the Asta Empire expeditionary force, and the others were not invited, and Kajimi wanted to let Lias and Lucia come with her, but was also rejected by the new female governor.

This funeral, which was called the most shabby funeral in the history of Siwa City, although many people talked about it privately, due to the suddenness of the incident and the fear that the Wolf God Cult would attack the only surviving Chief Kajimi again, there was not much complaint on the surface.

In the days that followed, the expeditionary force began to prepare materials for return, and when it arrived, it had a contingent of more than 1,000 men, but when it returned, there were only a few hundred men left, and almost a quarter of the combatants had been lost.

Although this expedition was considered to open up a place that the Asta Empire had not reached from the army, and could provide a better experience for the Empire's future expeditions to the desert countries, for Hajar City alone, it lost most of the elite forces.

No general could laugh.

The departure time was the morning of the third day after the funeral, and because the temperature in the desert was very high at noon, the party set out before dawn on this day, and the people who did not see them off were all simple, except for the expeditionary force of Hajar City, plus the hundreds of people who escorted Chief Kajimi in Siwa City.

According to the habit of desert people, they will rush in the morning or evening, and choose to stop and rest at noon when the weather is hot......

The sun had not yet fully risen, and Lias looked from her camel at the city of Siwa that was already far away.

"What's wrong? Haven't you woken up yet? Fiona and the priest's team were still there, and the student team was placed in the middle of the line, in the direction of the empire that loved him, and they had changed from guests to hosts, so Kajimi's and Siwa City's team was at the back of the line.

It's a special kind of etiquette.

"It's nothing, just look at ...... The Desert Countries, when I was in the academy before, I often heard the tutors occasionally mention it, but this time I came here to really see how powerful it is. "The face was veiled, and it was so tightly covered that it almost revealed a pair of eyes.

When the wind and sand are strong, the face will be shaved and hurt after a long time, so even men will wear a face towel to cover their faces.

"The desert country is what it is, and that's why the empire rarely cares about things in the west. Fiona said, glancing at the squirrel still asleep in Lias's arms.

"Is that so?"

"Perhaps......" Fiona replied without a positive answer, and rode on her camel.

After coming here in person, Lias began to feel that not only did the desert kingdoms have little contact with the eastern kingdoms, but they were also mysterious realms themselves, and they might never come back after leaving this time.

She turned and continued to follow the group.

Feeling Cam in his arms move, he looked down.

"You're awake, Cam. You can really sleep, you've been sleeping for almost a day and a night. "Lias has never seen Cam sleep for such a long time, and this time, the person who likes to eat the most, is willing to sleep without eating!

Water ~ food ~

Give me food, I will continue to become a demon, and there is no future when I wake up.

The hand scratched a few times, causing Lias to blush, and quickly took it out of her clothes.

"What, is Cam awake?" Lucia on the other side saw her approaching.

"Well, I've never seen it sleep like this, it's been a day and a night before it wakes up, isn't it unaccustomed to being sick in the desert. Reach out and feel Cam's soft little paws and under his neck.

In fact, the body temperature of squirrels is similar to that of humans, but it is far less easy to perceive than humans, and the tail hair is dense and long, and the fluffy ear shell is developed, which cannot be felt at all without the help of special tools.

Lias only felt that it was as warm as what she had in her hands.

"It looks like he wants to go back to sleep. ”

"Ah...... Cam, you can't sleep anymore, you're going to get sick if you sleep again. Lias lifted the back of her neck and shook her in mid-air a few times.

Wang Chu only felt that the picture in front of him was dangling, and he almost didn't grasp it when he stopped on the back of the camel.

Alright, alright.

I'm so hungry that I can't sleep.

Listening to Wang Chu calling a few times on the back of the camel......

"Is Cam hungry?"

"Oh yes, it hasn't eaten for a day and a night. "The most greedy little thing in the usual days actually gave up food and went to sleep this time, but Lias still had some food ready for a long time.

He pulled out a small handbag made of gold thread.

It is full of flavor, and it is fragrant when you hold it in your hand, which is the fragrance of barbecue jerky.

"Take it, Cam. This is a special barbecue jerky made in the desert prepared for you by Princess Kajimi. ”

In fact, it was the kind of barbecue that he had eaten that day, Wang Chu took it and took a look, it was all cut into small pieces, it seemed that it was really specially prepared for himself, he looked left and right.

Except for the various stares that looked at him, he didn't see Kajimi.

Didn't you say that Siwa City would also go with you, why didn't you see anyone, there were obviously a few students and other priests nearby.

"Don't look for it, eat it, Princess Kajimi, they're in the back line. Lias seemed to see that she was looking for someone to answer.

Well, it seems that the two of them can already read each other's simple body language.

"It's for drinking, give ...... How could you sleep so long this time. ”

A cup the size of a kettle lid was handed to him.

Why else can you take your sister, Wang Chu replied in his heart while eating.

I haven't woken up all day, and judging by the current situation, the team should have been moving back, and finally ended this expedition.

It's been a few months since the reckoning time, and I'm afraid it's almost spring in Hajar......

Wang Chu sat on the top of the camel's head and ate, after this journey, he found that many previously unknown people began to get close to Lias and himself, seeing that he was eating, he actually handed over all the survival in his hands, and by the way, he could get acquainted with Lias.

Of course, Wang Chu didn't pay much attention to these people.

The procession waited until midday, when the temperature was almost in the mid-50s, to take shelter from the shadow of camels, or to cover their heads with water-soaked towels, and some simply set up a suggested small tent.

Mages with ice-based summoners or ice-based magic are better and can cool themselves down.

But there are so few water elements in the desert that almost all of them can't use spells.

The high temperature of more than 50 degrees, this day is really not a human life, and it will be held on until the evening until the sun sets, and the temperature drops sharply before the team starts to set off.

With the soldiers of Siwa City leading the way, it didn't take long this time, only two days to reach the place in Lexus Town.

Finally returned to the territory of the Asta Empire.

Now the town is the Empire, so coming here is considered an entry!
