When Duke saw his daughter trapped in quicksand, he immediately jumped up from his horse, and he didn't bother to remove his heavy armor and ran straight to the edge of the quicksandpit. Srimore screamed, but when she saw her father desperately running to the rescue, she immediately realized that this might be a farewell. "Father, I was wrong!" Before he could finish speaking, the billowing quicksand swallowed Sreemore, and Duke watched as his slender right hand disappeared into view, but he could not do anything, a kind of remorse that could not be vented made him beat his chest and could not let go.

All the soldiers ran to persuade the "stern" general, and they dragged Duke back on his horse. At this time, the Auston soldiers were surrounded by a depressed mood, and no one dared to move anymore. After a few moments, Duke stopped sobbing, wiped away all his tears, and then shouted into the yellow sand that covered the ground: "Mother Earth, please accept me as a naughty daughter, I am sure that in your arms she will be very happy, happy forever!"

Observing his surroundings slyly, Jarvis muttered in a low voice, "What the hell! Daughters are dead, and fucking nonsense, who is Mother Earth? With that, he pursed his lips and cast a disdainful glance at Duke. Now that he was out of danger, he only had to pass through the woods in front of him to the Ghost Temple, where he could continue his treasure hunt. The cunning Dr. Bunier immediately stooped to the back of the group, and when he was sure that everything was in order, he slipped away along the side path, grumbling as he went, "I don't want to continue to walk around with a bunch of fools. ”

Duke glanced back at the tired soldier, then exclaimed, "Let's move on, we need to replenish fresh water and food." With that, the general, who had just lost his daughter, led the dejected soldiers into the dense woods. It was the first time the Auston soldiers had seen such regular trees, neatly arranged together, and the weeds on the ground were also divided on both sides, as if someone had deliberately trimmed them. Duke watched the narrower and narrower path and slowly drew his sword, and then commanded, "Be careful!"

The soldiers admired Duke, a general who had just lost his daughter and was able to put his personal feelings aside for a while, which was enough to prove his wisdom. The team marched slowly through the woods, and Duke had already seen the blue water on his horse, when the hungry horse suddenly stopped, raised its neck, and then stamped the sand with its front hooves.

Duke pointed his sword at the nearby lake and shouted, "We've found fresh water!" as he sheathed out of the woods. When he rode into the lake, he immediately smelled a salty smell. The soldiers who ran into the lake also noticed that something was wrong, and the blue water in front of them was not fresh water at all, but salt water. The crowd was extremely disappointed, and the team that could have endured hunger and thirst was disheartened by such a toss, and some people simply sat in the lake and complained.

Instead of stopping this group from "stirring up the morale of the army", Duke dismounted from his horse, put away his sword, and looked around, smiling with satisfaction soon after. He pointed to the canopy in the distance and exclaimed, "You see, the trees there are very lush, and the canopy is red, and there must be fruit to quench your thirst." Some of the soldiers who had given up hope whispered, "What have you done to lie to us?" I will not go, and I should drown in the lake rather than die of thirst in the desert. ”

Duke looked at his demoralized subordinates a little sad, and he shouted again, "There must be fruit ahead, you don't go, I'll go myself!" He looked back at every stretch he walked, and although a small number of people had reluctantly followed, most remained in the lake. Duke didn't give up hope, he walked along the edge of the lake, and the trees he had just seen were not far away. Suddenly, a white light flickered, Duke dodged the attack sideways, he clenched his long sword with both hands and shouted loudly: "Sneaky sneak attack, what kind of hero is it?"

"I'm not a hero, I'm a bandit!" a naked, unshaven Auston man swaggered out of the woods. Duke's first impression when he saw the other party was "familiar", although he couldn't remember the other party's identity for a while, but his intuition told him that this person must be locked up in the tightest prison in Auston City.

Duke held the long sword across his chest, and then reprimanded loudly: "Bold bandit, you actually dare to sneak attack this general, if you still want to live, hurry up and come and arrest it." With that, he made a "guide" look. The guy on the other side who claimed to be a bandit laughed when he saw this, he pointed to the "remnant defeated general" behind Duke and said disdainfully: "You don't weigh your own strength, you have become like this, what are you doing?" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen strong men with sharp weapons immediately jumped out of the originally silent woods.

"We're the guards of Auston City, how dare you be so rude?" Duke shouted angrily. "What the fuck the Guards, the Far Guards, are all vulnerable characters. With that, the stubble-faced Auston man whistled loudly, and a ghostly couple appeared between the two groups.

"Do you have any orders, Mr. Atwood?" the ghost asked respectfully. When Duke heard this, he suddenly remembered that the bearded guy on the other side was the bandit of Hogan Forest, and the wanted warrant he issued also included the portrait of this "Demon King of the Mixed World". Duke immediately ordered his troops to form a defensive stance, and the well-trained soldiers gathered together and surrounded Duke in the middle.

With a wave of his hand, Atwood snatched the large axe, which was deep in the sand, and his men took it and looked at it carefully, then blew off the sand with his mouth. After a while, he pointed his axe at Duke and reprimanded, "I was about to catch a wild boar just now, but I was scared away by your shouts, and now I am so hungry that I can only kill you to satisfy my hunger." With that, he brought the large axe to his front and licked the dust from it with his tongue.

Duke was not afraid of these bandits, but he also had some scruples about facing Atwood, after all, he had spent a lot of financial and material resources to capture his king over the years. Unfortunately, he is now sleepy and lacking in people, and if he really wants to fight hard, I am afraid that he will really be wiped out, and then his plan to attack the valley will be a complete failure. Thinking of this, he decided to put up with it for the time being, after all, these guys in front of him were not ready to overthrow the rule of the Austonians, and it was difficult for the Calby elves to say.

Atwood tilted his head to look at the smiling Wright, and then said, "Don't you remember how we lived before?
