Chapter 234: The End (8)

"I've been to the Full Moon Frontier, and I've been to the Full Moon Territory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The speed of the knights was not fast, but slowly, Fred's heart gradually stopped, and he had the desire to speak. His words are somewhat showing off, from the westernmost to the easternmost, Fred's age can be regarded as a wealth of experience. His voice caught the eyes of the knights and Saiya, and he couldn't help but laugh proudly, "There is a lot of wind and sand on the full moon, and once the wind blows on the desert, the sand blows on the face like a pinprick. ā€

"We usually wear scarves and glasses made of crystal flakes when we ride horses, otherwise we won't even be able to open our eyes when the wind and sand rise. Fred's tone was somewhat ostentatious, and he was smug, as if his experience was worth bragging about, "Sometimes we encounter sand pirates, who ride a four-legged monster that is only half the height of a horse, like a wingless wyvern, and these monsters move very fast in the desert, and it is difficult to catch up with them. ā€

Fred's rhetoric finally piqued Saiya's interest as well. Compared to Fred's experience of running around, Saiya's experience was much simpler. As one of the members of the royal family, it is impossible for him to be in a dangerous place for a long time, and Saiya may not be an important figure for a group like the entire royal family. But expanding this scope to the entire empire, royalty instead became a rare and distinguished figure.

Most of the time he was doing some noble work, and when Orlando VI was old, he took care of the sons and nephews of these families, and when he was old, he was soft-hearted, and it could not be said that he was not doing it right, he was just a powerful old man, and he just didn't want his children and nephews to be in danger. But compared with the young children of other nobles, these royal children who grew up in greenhouses obviously have great shortcomings, and they are completely unable to become a strong, suppressive person, and can only do some simple work.

Lack of competitiveness, loss of competitiveness, is a very dangerous thing. Fortunately, Pars Orlando VII ascended the throne. Compared with the soft-heartedness of Orlando VI in the second half of his life, Her Majesty the Empress, who is not amazing, is obviously a ruthless politician like Wren. She appointed these royal children without considering danger or not, only asking whether they could or could not complete the task.

Facing Fred, Saiya also had a trace of envy in his heart. Everyone envies Saiyah's identity, and it sounds good enough to say it, after all, he is a member of the royal family, but he has lost a lot of wonderful lives because of it. He glanced at Fred, who sensed Saiyah's gaze and raised his chin even higher, "If the sand thieves are running so fast, how are you going to catch up with them?"

"Good question!", showing off is also an act that needs to be interactive, like revealing a very expensive watch on your wrist, if others don't ask, this kind of showing off will be stuck in your heart, like a kitten scratching. Saiya asked in a word, and Fred was full of comfort and joy at this moment, and he met Saiya's gaze with great appreciation, "We will use a special alchemy potion, which is said to be a special plant in the desert, and then grind it into powder, and add something else to refine it." Once ignited, the smoke of this alchemy potion cannot be blown away by the wind, and all four-legged monsters within the effective range of the alchemy potion will become staggered, as if they were drunk. ā€

"Then why don't they change their mounts? This four-legged monster has such obvious flaws, why don't they ride horses?", Saiya asked again, and the knights who accompanied him pricked up their ears, for what was happening in the desert had a fatal attraction for them. The racial feelings of the Desi make the Desi people extremely aggressive and aggressive towards other races, which may not be visible in peacetime, but once the war breaks out, this somewhat extreme racial feeling will explode.

People love the desert, not because of the majesty and strangeness of the desert, but because there are full moon people in the desert, and killing full moon people can get military merit and glory.

Fred laughed more and more proudly, and he deliberately hung people's appetites, "Guess what?"

"Don't they know how to ride?", Saiya guessed once, and Fred shook his head.

"Maybe there's no horses in the desert?", Fred shook his head again, he was proud, and the bachelor on the side seemed to disdain his posture, and directly said the answer.

"That's because they can't afford to keep horses. In the face of Fred's unfriendly gaze, this bachelor didn't care at all, although he was not a nobleman, he was not necessarily afraid of nobles. As a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, he also has his own network of contacts and social circles, including some powerful nobles. Fred's background may be amazing, but that's just his background. The Imperial Academy is very united, and moving a bachelor is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest, so he is not worried at all that Fred dares to retaliate against him, "There is a lack of water in the desert and it is impossible to breed concentrate on a large scale, so they use carnivores like desert lizards as mounts." ā€

The maester hesitated for a moment, then continued: "As far as I know, the deafness potion can only work on some desert lizards with a large bloodline, and the elite riders under the Full Moon King's tent will basically not be affected by the deafness potion, otherwise there will be no continuous conflicts and frictions over the years. ā€

Even Fred didn't know the latter sentence, his face was slightly red, and there was an embarrassment of pretending to be unable to force it. But speaking of embarrassment, perhaps this is the emotion that hurts the nobles the least, Fred shrugged his shoulders, "So I'm not a bachelor." ā€

As he spoke, the knights in charge of the guards suddenly had a strange look on their faces, and the leader of the knights raised his hand to stop the advance of the group. Just look at him lifting from the side of the saddle a one-meter-long, finger-thick pole with a sharp end and a fist-sized red ball at the other. He threw it away, and a quarter of the pole was inserted into the dirt, and the red ball on the other side of the pole began to shake slightly.

Saiyan looked curiously at the movements of the knight leader, but Fred smiled and said, "Is the wind blowing?"

However, this joke did not ease the tension at this time, and the knights drew their swords, raised their spears, and moved slowly, protecting Saiya, Fred, and the two maesters in the middle. They looked at the grasslands around them with a wary expression. One of the knights rode his horse to the front of the four people, and said with a solemn face: "There are cavalry moving rapidly nearby, I can't be sure whether the other party is passing by here, or if they are coming specifically for us." In the event of an engagement, we will try to hold them back as much as possible, and at the same time, we ask that the four adults leave the battlefield immediately and go back to ask for help. ā€

The knight commander tightened the sword in his hand, "I will try to create opportunities for the four adults as much as possible. ā€

The red balls on the ground vibrated faster and faster, and the range of movement became larger and larger, and the roar of the horses as they ran could be heard in their ears. Saiya's nervous palms were covered with sweat, and he kept loosening the reins that he was gripping in different places to relieve the tension in his heart, and his eyes wandered around.

Finally, a black-pressed cavalry team rushed over from a distance, and on the grassland, it was like a giant beast in the sea of grass riding the wind and waves, hideous and terrifying.

The knight commander's face suddenly froze, just by visual inspection, the other party may have the size of thousands of people, and the number of people far exceeded his prediction. His face was extremely ugly at this time, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Be on guard!"

About fifty knights picked up their spears, and the formation slowly changed, facing the knights who rushed over, their faces tensed one by one, and they were very nervous.

The knights galloping from the opposite side suddenly split in two when they were about two hundred paces away from them, and surrounded them. Fred was nervous and couldn't speak, but Saiyan asked in a low voice, "Why don't we leave?"

The knight commander replied with a wry smile: "There are too many people on the other side, and they may not be able to escape, in case they anger the other party's ......", he didn't need to say the rest, Saiyan understood, and the knight commander comforted him, "Maybe they are just ordinary robbers, as long as we can get enough wealth, they won't hurt us." Moreover, you and His Excellency Fred are both nobles of the Empire, these people may not dare to murder the Empire, the price is too serious!"

The knight commander has been paying attention to the other party's horses and members, and a crying and laughing look suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, the other party is obviously not a real robber, it should be the private soldier of a nobleman, or even the city defense army of a certain city. However, he did not say anything, and compared to the four big men who were protected by them, this knight commander knew more about human affairs. If he had pointed out that the other party might have been an Imperial defender or a nobleman's private soldier, what could have been a raid would have turned into a massacre.

He looked at the other party silently, his heart was not as nervous as before, but relaxed.

Five of them rode out on horseback, and one of them was slightly dark-skinned, looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and had the virtue of a veteran ruffian. With a stalk of grass in his mouth, he patted the scabbard on the saddle with a hippie smile, "Rob!" he pointed to the besieged people, "Take out all the valuable things, money, food, weapons, war horses, as long as they are valuable." ā€

In the stalemate, the knight commander looked at the person who was talking in front of him with a cold face, he looked at the other party carefully, it was obvious that this person was definitely a member of the Imperial Army, maybe he was once a member of the Imperial Army. No matter how much a person changes, there are always some things that cannot be changed, such as temperament. The leader of the knights, with his eyes closed, could smell the stench of soldier oil on his body, which was inaudible, but very familiar.

Just as the knight commander was about to compromise, one of the matrons behind him suddenly said something that caught people off guard and was full of danger!
