The wounded archer was first hit by Niata's magic missile, and then shot by Niata in the shoulder, and now he is incapacitated when he falls to the ground.

Link and Njata cautiously approached the fallen rider, who had already taken his bow and arrows away, but had to be on guard against him hiding weapons such as axes and iron bones.

The wounded archer covered his wounds in a dejected manner, watching in horror as Link and the two approached, his body involuntarily tried to retreat, and his whole body trembled, in the legend of the desert people, mages are the most evil beings in the world, and female mages are especially evil, they will turn oases into deserts, dry up pools, and spread plagues and diseases. Moreover, in the culture of the desert people, if you are killed by a woman, your soul will not merge with the ancestral spirit, but will be reduced to nothing.

"I'm going to drain your soul out!" Niata frightened the wounded archer, who was so frightened that he shivered.

"Tell me where you came from, don't hide anything, I can use magic to tell if you're lying, and if you do, I'll drain your soul. Niata frightened the archers.

The archer looked terrified, cowering on the ground and shivering, and some incoherently recounting his origins.

"My name is Gu Li, I am from the Barbarian Bone Tribe of the Standing Rock Plain, I am a reserve warrior, the tribe was broken by the army of the Santarin Society a month ago, I surrendered, and after training, I went on a reconnaissance mission here. ”

"Will Santarim be ready to attack our tribe?" asked Niata, frowning.

The archer shook his head in fear: "We are just on a reconnaissance mission, and we don't know what the plan is." ”

Niata hurriedly continued to ask the archer, there was another archer who fled on horseback just now, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not bring someone back, and now he couldn't delay time.

After questioning, it turned out that this reconnaissance team was all composed of desert people who had surrendered, equipped with weapons provided by the Santalin Society, and the leader of the squad had been in service for the longest time, and he was considered a small officer, and the time for the surrender of other personnel was uneven, and the task of this kind of squad was to obtain information about the tribes in the desert and explore the roads that could be used for a certain size of troops to march.

"He's from the Standing Rock Plains, and it looks like the Santarim Society is going north. Njata said worriedly.

The Standing Rock Plains, located in the middle of the Wild Cow Desert, is named for the presence of a large number of wind-eroded mushroom-shaped stones, and to the east of it is the Ether Mirror Wasteland, which is inhabited by a large number of lizardmen. Link's tribe is north of the Tateishi Plain, which is more barren, with smaller and fewer oases, closer to the tundra region to the north, and further north is the famous Great Glacier Zone: the Supreme Glacier, and the tribes that live in the Tateishi Plain are generally richer and more powerful than the tribes in the north.

The most powerful tribe in the desert lives south of the Standing Stone Plain, near the Scimitar Peak Mountains, near the Saiyada grassland, which is no longer a desert, but a grassland full of sparse vegetation, although barren, there are still a large number of herbivores, light horses, antelopes, goats, and smaller mammals, which are famous hunting and grazing areas in the desert, and even the hunting grounds for the blue dragons and brass dragons that survive in the desert.

The desert peoples who live near the Saiyada steppe are also the most powerful, and it is also this group of tribes that have fought against the Santarim Society for so many years.

The Santarin Society, a well-known political, economic, and military entity in the continent of Faeron, with the highest goal of controlling the entire Moon Sea and monopolizing the trade of the entire Faeron, was founded by the legendary mage Manson, and the current leader is the elect of the tyrannical god Bane, the organization often robs rival caravans, summons monsters and then pretends to defeat monsters to extort money from local residents, which is a well-known rogue organization in Faeron.

The "Black Road" in the desert is located in the south of the Standing Stone Plain, consisting of a series of small outposts and trading post trading routes, across the entire Manniu Desert, founded by the Santarin Society with a lot of resources, connecting an important trade route between the east and west of Faerun, extending from the Tersen Valley all the way to the west, until the end of Rock Town at the foot of the Gray Peak Mountain Range in the west of the desert, a large number of Santalin Society's own caravans and caravans that spend money in exchange for resources and protection shuttle among them, and merchants can even directly in the "Black Road" Buying and selling goods in trade points, investing in caravans of one's choice and waiting for dividends, or buying insurance for one's own goods, and being compensated for the loss of goods, is a very advanced business model in Faerun.

From the first day of the establishment of the "Black Road", the nearby desert peoples have not stopped fighting with the Santarin Society, firstly, the Santarin Society has squeezed their living space, and secondly, the caravan can obtain a lot of survival materials, and many large tribes are willing to do this, but this has nothing to do with the northern tribes where Link is located, the resources in the north are poor, only some small caravans that trade desert specialties with the tribe pass by, and some want to save the "Black Road" Tolled caravans will also pass through the small oasis in the north as a supply point, but the scale of this caravan is not large, and the oasis in the north cannot support large caravans, so the Santarinhui does not care much about these caravans.

As for the argument of fighting against the Santarin Society together, there is no such thing, not to mention that it is not about oneself to hang this kind of human inferiority, the desert people have no national consciousness, and there are many blood feuds between the tribes in order to compete for survival resources, and the tribes near the Saiyada Grassland will fight to the death with the Santalin Society, and many tribes in the Standing Rock Plain even send mercenaries to earn military pay to participate in the war.

"But why are they going north? There's nothing here. Njata was puzzled by the actions of the Santarin.

Link shook his head: "The important thing is that they are already here, or should the tribe be warned." ”

Said that he should warn the tribe, Link felt a little bitter in his heart, this time he and Niata engaged a six-person scout team, killed four people, captured one, if he could bring it back justifiably, it is estimated that his identity as a prepared shepherd slave will be lifted, but this record cannot be announced at all, how did a waste and a woman who failed three trials achieve this kind of record? The identities of Link and Niata Mage will inevitably be exposed, and if you bring back a corpse, this kind of scout will at least two people act together.

"Two corpses later. Link thought for a moment and shook his head, it was better not to take risks, and he didn't want to stay in the desert forever, he should still go to the wider continent of Faeron to see.

Then Link and the others asked the archers about their supply points, they came on desert horses, not camels, there must be supply points or even multiple squads nearby, the archers didn't want to say, they wanted to delay until the fleeing companions brought people to rescue him, but under the coercion of Niata, he had to give the supply points.

"And two six-man scouts, and a seven-man squad guarding the supply points. Njata pondered for a moment and gestured to Link.

Stunned, Link blankly drew his blood-stained scimitar and sliced his neck under the archer's desperate gaze.

Under the fierce sun, Link was a little tired after the fierce battle, and some warm blood sprayed on Link's face, Link hastily wiped it with his cuffs, looking at the archer's twitching corpse, "You were not killed by a woman, I hope you can return to the ancestral spirit." Link silently blessed.
