Chapter 114: Lexus Town
The place where there is an oasis is different from the rest of the desert, it is a city outside of its own right.
Lexus Town, originally part of the territory of a small country in the west, was transferred to the other side of the country in order to seek refuge in the perennial war.
Since then, it has been the territory of the Empire, but due to its remoteness and the desert area that has been unmanaged for a long time, it is only recently that the Asta Empire is ready to restore its belonging.
The yellow houses, which blend in with the color of the yellow sand, are made of sand.
Standing at the gate of the town, Lias had never seen a house like this.
"Are they made of sand?" she asked, and Lucia was the only one who could answer here.
Compared to other places, the environment here is much better, where there is a water source, there are trees and grass, and this place looks like a city, and the roads are specially paved.
"There are no other materials in the desert, these are built with fine sand and stones mixed with animal dung. Lucia said that there was probably no one here who had a better say than the desert.
Belch......
The Legion's ranks stood at the gate of the town, and the weather was very hot, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was unusually large, and during the day it was so hot that people rushed to take off their clothes and run naked.
The entrance is shabby, and no one has any other epidemic prevention settings.
"This place should have been deserted for a long time. Edmund said, leading the group into the town.
If you want to compare it, Lexus Town is much more equipped than any other town around Hajar City, where everything is supposed to be there, except that the houses are empty and there is nothing inside the open doors.
Some of them can see some simple furniture, but they are all dilapidated, and they have been placed all year round and have been covered with a layer of dust.
One by one, the people inspected the houses near the city gates.
"Report, no anomalies found. Said the soldier who was the first to investigate.
It was strange that the town was empty, and Edmund looked at Matthias beside him, where no one knew anything better than him.
"The houses in the desert have basements, and werewolves will sleep in the basement during the day, so they can't be found, I suggest that all the soldiers search all the houses one by one, and if they find werewolves, they can be dealt with on the spot, so that the werewolves in the town can be quickly eradicated. Madias said to the crowd.
Wang Chu also woke up at this time.
Looking up at Lias's expression, she seemed to be very serious.
He turned his head to look at the front of the line......
In that case, all the people are scattered and look at each other from different directions according to their respective organizations. Edmund commanded.
As for Lias and Lucia, they were assigned to the student organization, and this team was actually led by Lias.
"Lias take Cam to look for it, you are in charge of this street, all the students listen to her command, if you find a werewolf, you must kill it as soon as possible, so as not to attack the other party. Edmund's command seems to have seen the student organization as a team.
Wang Chu always felt that the old man had been staring at him with a weird smile.
Does this old guy still let himself protect these students?
Not only Edmund, but even Va Serra, who was beside him, was smiling at this time.
According to Matthias's intelligence, most of the werewolves sleep during the day, and they are in dark corners, so this is the most effective way to attack.
The purpose of this expedition was to reclaim uninhabited territory and find the missing Imperial army, so the capture of Lexus was a necessary process.
"Be careful, and if you find any traces of Imperial troops, be sure to report it. "This is the final command.
Lias led the team of students to start the first house inspection.
This is a house made of sand, according to Lucia, it is a mixture of various things, Wang Chukai took a special look at the wall on the side, although the construction is pitted, but the bond is very solid.
There are also some stones sandwiched in it, and there are some impurities in them.
"Otherwise, let's look separately. Paladin Brother Al said.
There were only five students in total, and they were all known to Wang Chu, the paladin and the warlock brother, as well as the big-breasted red-haired girl Cecia, and then Lias.
"We have fewer people, so it's better to stay together. Little Warlock Gocyra said.
Compared to other scattered teams, the student team is almost small.
"Let's all follow, this room is not big. Lias said.
The house made of sand was not very large, no more than two floors, and Lucia quickly ran to the top to take a look, and then shook her head at the few people under the ladder.
There was no one on it.
It is strange that there will be werewolves on such a hot day, Wang Chu lay on Lias's shoulder, looking at the surrounding rooms.
The furniture is almost none, and the sweltering desert heat during the day gives the house a dull feeling, because the houses made of sand are insulated but have little air circulation.
There are also cubicles in the room.
"Let's go in and have a look. Lias beckoned a few men to follow.
There was a bed made of straw mats in the room, and the floor was covered with blankets, which were somewhat cracked.
It should have been a long time since anyone lived there.
"Look there!" said Cyra, gesturing to the back of the bed.
There was a black doorway, an uncovered doorway, a downward passage.
The basement should be right there.
Several people glanced at each other.
Wang Chu stood up vigilantly and climbed onto Lias's head, if he encountered danger, he would definitely attack as soon as possible, otherwise if he gave the werewolf a chance to fight back, these students might not be able to bear it.
Probably because of this, Edmund was relieved to let Lias take the lead, and the old guy dared to see himself from the beginning.
Lias led the group into the basement, and it was still hot.
As the light dimmed, it gradually began to cool a little.
The underground in the desert is not hot, even cold, which is why the people who live here will dig a basement in their room, and some of them are very large, and most of the food or life will be placed underground.
The circular ladder continued, and several of the students drew their weapons.
"Shhhh
A faint sound of rough breathing could be heard.
"Yes, I heard that too. Then came Cecia, whose red hair was unusually shiny even in the dark.
A few people slowly walked down.
Rounding the circular staircase a few times, you are at the bottom.
It looks like a small cave, and there are various furniture inside.
Look over there.
Al tried his best to keep his voice low.
Because at this time, in the basement in front of us, there were several werewolves standing motionless.
