Chapter 107: Night in the Yellow Sand
In the evening, as soon as the sun set, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was particularly large, and all the clothes that had been taken off during the day were put back on at this time.
The team had gradually entered the desert zone.
When the sky is dark, the wind often blows and the face is full of fine sand, and the sand in the desert is much finer and softer than the usual river sand, and it will flow out if you grasp it in your hand.
So everyone wears a cloth to cover their faces, otherwise they will get sand in their ears for a short while.
"Do you see clearly? Edmund asked, squealing at his throat.
"Yes, master. We see it clearly, and Cam, who can't be wrong, sees it too. V. Serra was reporting what the two had seen during the day.
The sand dunes were indeed artificially made sculptures, but they had been weathered for the most part, and there were weeds all around, and Wang Chu and V. Sera flew towards the place, and after crossing the dunes, they found a place like a basin, and there were actually trees, most of which were fruit trees.
The most conspicuous thing is that there is a lake in the middle of the woods, more like a river that does not extend but is large enough, and it is surrounded by green grass, which is very independent in the middle of this sand dune.
Along the river all the way down are walls made of sand and stone, quietly hidden in the cols of the dunes, and countless houses form an area, much larger than some of the towns outside Hajar.
"Did you find anything, like werewolves. Edmund continued.
The flying Van Serra shook her head.
It's weird.
What was the matter with the information sent back, he looked left and right at the few people around him, and did not avoid them when he was talking, if Wang Chu guessed correctly, these were the leaders of the team this time.
In fact, when he discovered the city, Wang Chu originally wanted to go in and have a look, but was pulled by Va Sera with all his might.
Its target was too big to be spotted if it was really dangerous, and she pointed to the water's edge...... Wang Chu looked carefully, and there were many rotting animal corpses on the edge of the dead river, and some of the bones that had been blackened by the sun were still discarded aside.
"Madias Shore won't lie to us, he must be true if he says so, but he just doesn't know where those things are. Said the magician on the other side on horseback.
"Do you want to flare it?"
"Not yet, if there are a lot of opponents, it will easily attract enemies, and in this kind of desert we don't even have a place to hide, and if they rush from all directions, we won't have time to meet them. "Edmund put a stop to the idea of the other side, and there was a special method of communication in the military department.
But in such a sparsely populated place, it's easy to get noticed.
"So what are we going to do, aren't we here to eradicate those werewolves?" a knight-like man retorted.
"Don't worry, of course we're here to eradicate them, and the Empire wants us to get this area back and make it part of our country...... But there must also be a way, first of all, to secure the camp, and if the other side is the whole town, we must also be prepared for the rear, well, near them. Edmund said, pointing to a place.
Belch...... Is that the place!
Wang Chu looked left and right, everything in the desert was the same, except for the footprints behind him, he couldn't see it in other directions.
There is no logo.
"That's all I can do, and then I'll send someone to find Madias. Inform the people in the rear to set up camp in front, this time to camp in a big way, but don't let that fool get behind the dunes, otherwise it will be buried in the sand before dawn. The knight-like man suddenly commanded backwards.
It seems that these bigwigs can't tell the trace of the werewolf, and seeing that the sky is about to get dark, Wang Chu flew back to the direction of the carriage where Lias was.
You can't light a torch in the wind and sand, and you can only see things clearly with the help of a faint light.
At the head of the carriage, it was still the paladin who pulled the cart, but Wang Chu found that Lias was also sitting next to her, still wearing a scarf.
When I saw myself coming back, a smile appeared in my bright eyes.
Reach out and just stop on it.
The wind and sand blew cold under the feathers, but it was really warm and warm here, and there was a hint of fragrance.
"Cam, you've been out running around for so long, you can run around when you're in the city, how can you fly everywhere in a place like this. She pulled away the covered face, probably because of the dim light, Wang Chu looked at the other party's face whiter than before.
couldn't help but be reprimanded, but Wang Chu didn't hear it.
The whole team stopped, and then the soldiers came and told everyone to set up camp in the designated place, and this time to set up a large camp.
The so-called big camp is a camp with a certain formation and better defensive measures, which is a usage in the military department, and Wang Chu occasionally listened to the following tutor when he was in the academy.
A camp of more than 1,000 people could not be set up in one place, but would be divided into several large camps in different directions, close to each other and defended each other.
Wang Chu saw the soldiers pull out woolen cloth and large blankets almost two meters wide to surround the city in a large circle, and the magicians used magic to make stakes several meters deep in the sand, and then fixed the carriage and slowly set up their tents in the large circle.
Following the priest Fiona, the two girls were placed in the place where the priestess was, which was the center of the camp, surrounded by magicians and paladins, and the soldiers were opposite to each other on the side, anyway, in Wang Chu's opinion, it was all the lineup of the healing.
When all the camps were set up, it should be dark, and the surroundings were as cold as Hajar, which was about to enter winter, and there were bonfires burning in every camp, because there was no wood, and it was all left over from the felling of the fruit trees on the way before, and some weeds twisted into ropes, and it was not enough to take out a bag of things and throw them directly into the fire.
A peculiar smell came out instantly.
"What is this? It smells bad. A female pastor said from the side.
"You won't want to know. Fiona shook her head.
Wang Chu smelled this smell, why did he feel a little feces.
"Isn't this just horse manure, I've seen people collecting it along the way, it's been days. "I don't know who said it.
It's okay not to say it, but it feels more like the taste.
Several female pastors couldn't help but run to the side and gag, even if it was cold, they didn't want to sit over.
But Lias and Lucia insisted on not moving...... I couldn't help it, so I pushed the wooden stool back.
"It's common in the wild, so of course you'll be prepared, you guys. You still need to have a good experience. Fiona sat by the fire naturally.
Because of such a fuss, several people's appetites were not very good, although they dared to travel for a day, they didn't eat much at night.
At night, the wind and sand are terrifying, and the fire is almost not extinguished and is covered by fine sand.
Lias and Lucia live in a large tent with the priests.
"Rest, maybe we'll be in Lexus Town tomorrow. Seeing Lucia still checking her weapons and equipment.
The wind and sand made the tent rattle, because the place where it was close to the wind had to be used for something, otherwise the whole tent might be blown away.
"Well, but don't you think it's strange that Lias hasn't seen anyone along the way, not even the troop who are exploring the way. She said.
In fact, many people have doubts about this in their hearts, but they don't say it explicitly.
"Will they ......?"
Lias shook her head.
"No, Master Madias is the best assassin in Hajar, even if a squadron of paladins is killed, he will escape alone, I think he must be looking for us too, maybe there is some kind of accident here. She affirmed.
I hope so.
You've already come to this place, and now you can't go back.
Wang Chu stood on the pillow on the other side.
The wind and sand are still blowing!
