Sun Licheng is very depressed now, just now a sandman reported that there was a big problem with the logistics supply line between the date oasis and the blue sea oasis. A lot of skeletons suddenly appear in the sand next to the convoy and start attacking monitor lizards and sandmen.

Although these skeletons were not strong in combat and did not cause many casualties, they greatly affected the morale of the sandmen, and the supply of military supplies was greatly affected.

"Hongsun Naib, have you always had these skeletons in your area?"

Sun Licheng asked Hong Sunaibu.

"As far as I know, there wasn't before. Teacher, do you know anything?"

Hongsunaibu shook his head and asked his teacher, the great witch Abner.

Abner thought about it for a moment, then said, "Once upon a time, there was a legend of the undead in the tribe, but I have not experienced it. Legend has it that these skeletons are controlled by necromancers, but what is there in this sea of death sand that deserves the attention of necromancers?"

"Hmm. It seems that the black hand behind the dry up of the oasis finally can't help but jump out. They must have detected that we were gathering strength and preparing to attack the Boulder Mountains, so they wanted to disrupt our operations by destroying the supply lines. ”

Sun Licheng nodded and figured it out.

"What then? We're getting more and more people now. If the food can't keep up, the team will be in chaos. ”

Clark said.

Sun Licheng looked at the map hanging in the big tent, tapped it with his hand, and said to everyone: "The key now is not to let the other party destroy it so unscrupulously. We have limited forces and can't defend such a long supply line. I think the most feasible way for the time being is for me to immediately lead my troops out and disrupt the enemy's plans. ”

"It's a doable plan, but, boss, how many people are you going to take with you?"

Clark asked, thinking for a moment.

Sun Licheng thought for a while and said to everyone: "I will take eight hundred people first, and the rest will set off when the last batch of supplies arrives." ”

Everyone discussed it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan. As long as Sun Licheng drew the skeleton's attention away, the logistics line could be restored, and after the food was in place, the remaining more than a thousand soldiers could quickly attack.

Early the next morning, with the melodious sound of the trumpet, Sun Licheng led 800 camel cavalry, led by Hong Sunaibu, and he and his wife Caroline were the central army, and set off towards the Boulder Mountains.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, Sun Licheng and the others equipped all the best camels and brought enough food to eat for fifteen days, and tried to reach the Boulder Mountains as quickly as possible.

Along the way, the sun above the desert appeared even more intense, baking the whole desert like a steamer, and the distant scene was constantly distorted in the air.

"Lord Sun Licheng, let everyone rest. ”

Hong Sunaibu rode a camel to Sun Licheng's side and said that they had traveled hundreds of kilometers.

Sun Licheng turned his head to look and saw that the soldier's face was already very tired, so he nodded and ordered to rest.

"Hung Sunaibu, have any of you ever seen an undead or a skeleton?"

Sun Licheng raised the water bladder and took a sip of water, and then asked Xiang Hongsun Naib.

"Everyone has heard of what they look like, but no one has ever seen them. It is said that the sea of sand is so hot that few undead appear. It's so strange this time, what the hell are those undead trying to do?"

Hong Sunaibu took a sip of water and replied to Sun Licheng.

"It is a pity that His Majesty, the god of knowledge and diplomacy, refuses to divulge the news. However, as long as it is an undead, there will definitely be no good things. ”

Sun Licheng said helplessly.

"Sun Licheng, can these weapons of ours deal with the undead?"

Caroline, who was beside Sun Licheng, suddenly asked. A little girl, even as an ogre, is still full of fear of dead creatures.

"Normal weapons are fine against skeletons, but not against the undead who can fly around, those guys have no substance. As soon as you find the undead, you should quickly hide behind me and raise the special shield I gave to you, which has a purification magic circle that I have drawn on it, which can protect you from the threat of death. ”

Sun Licheng said with a smile to Caroline.

"By the way, everyone must keep the energy on the shield sufficient, and if you find that the energy is insufficient, you must quickly find me to recharge it. ”

Sun Licheng added.

Last time in the Mercury Mine, thanks to Mr. Skillful and a large number of magic crystals, he was able to defeat the skeleton soldiers and undead left behind by the necromancer.

Now that Mr. Skillful Hand is gone, Sun Licheng has not enough magic crystals on hand, so he can only use paint to make a purification magic array on some wooden shields. After all, the manual operation is not as fine as the robot's production, and the magic array drawn is far inferior to the rules made by Mr. Skillful, and the speed is very slow, so far, Sun Licheng has only drawn less than fifty shields.

"Well, I hope there aren't so many undead on the other side. ”

Looking into the distance, Sun Licheng said secretly in his heart.

"What? Those damn guys have set out from the Blue Ocean Oasis. ”

In the caves of the Boulder Mountains, the necromancer roared angrily.

Just now, the skeleton eagle flew back and reported that Sun Licheng was leading more than 800 sandman warriors and riding camels towards the Boulder Mountain Range.

"They must not be allowed to come around here. ”

The necromancer walked back and forth in the cave for a few steps before making a decision.

I saw him chant a spell loudly, and in a short time, dozens of skeleton soldiers with weapons appeared on the ground.

"Go, sneak up on their camp at night and make them feel the fear of death!"

The necromancer shouted a command to the skeletons, whose eyes flickered a few times before clicking out of the cave.

"Order the troops to stop and prepare to set up camp!"

Sun Licheng said to the herald next to him.

It was their fourth day out, and apart from a few scattered sandmen, the road was peaceful.

These sandmen who encountered heard that Sun Licheng was going to open up the dark river and restore the oasis, and they all asked to join the team.

For their request, Sun Licheng is of course very welcome. He went to extract the essence from the rough, let the old and weak continue to the blue sea oasis, and the young and strong were incorporated into the cavalry group.

As of this afternoon, Sun Licheng's men and horses have exceeded 1,000.

Hearing that they could rest, the tired cavalrymen jumped off their camels and began to prepare their own dinner.

"Hung Sunaibu, you let them continue making shields. At night, when I keep vigil, I will draw a purifying magic array, and this work must be done quickly. ”

Sun Licheng nibbled on the jerky and said to Hong Sunaibu.

The latter nodded, and went to give the order.

The nights in the desert are very cold, but visibility is good because the humidity is low.

Sun Licheng used a special brush to draw a purification magic array on the shield while releasing his perceptual ability to monitor the surroundings.

The calm of the past few days did not make Sun Licheng take it lightly. He felt that there must be some conspiracy waiting for him ahead.

According to the memories given by the god of the earth, the night is a blessing for dead creatures. If you are an undead, you will send troops to carry out a sneak attack.

So these nights, it's up to him to keep vigil.

"Let's hope it's a quiet night. ”

Looking at the silver and red in the sky, and the two big moons, Sun Licheng finished speaking in his heart, and continued to draw the magic array.

Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly in the distance, as if something was coming.
