Chapter 6: Sand Bandits
"You go on, I'll go around. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Ao Xingfeng finished speaking and walked out of the fortress gate, the Templars were not worried about Ao Xingfeng's safety, and sat down again and began to drink.
There were still a few Templars standing guard on the walls of the fortress, and watchtowers were built around the edge of the island, and it was also because of their presence that the people on the island were very relaxed, and Ao Xingfeng walked aimlessly.
The Templars standing guard at the city wall saw Ao Xingfeng coming up and hurriedly bowed.
"Sit down, have you encountered any danger in this place?" asked Ao Xingfeng, sitting on the wall pier.
"A few months ago there was a gang of sand bandits who attacked, but they were not as strong as us, and the dead and wounded, and the rest were executed by the knight chief of Princeton. The Templar replied.
"Sand bandits?" Ao Xingfeng asked
"Well, most of the Southern Kingdoms are barren and can only survive on trade and commerce, and the Sand Bandits are made up of wanted fugitives and exiles, and they are basically unorganized, but they are all outlaws who often attack passing caravans. The Templar said helplessly.
"Isn't there some ghost in the desert at night, how do the desert bandits and caravans dodge?" Ao Xingfeng asked
"Travelers who want to spend the night in the desert usually bring a few spiritual lanterns, and the demon spirit is most afraid of the glimmer of the spiritual lantern. The Templar said.
"Is there really no way to destroy the demon spirit?" Ao Xingfeng asked curiously.
"As far as I know, no one has actually killed a demon. The Templar said earnestly.
"Actually, I think the strangest thing is that the oasis in the middle of the lake is in the desert, why don't the demons come in? Are they afraid of water?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
The Templar shook his head, "I don't know about that. ”
Ao Xingfeng then chatted with the Templar for a long time, and did not return to his room until midnight to continue his rest.
The next day, in the morning.
Ao Xingfeng, who was asleep, was awakened by the noisy movement in the fortress, hurriedly dressed and put on the knife and rushed out of the room.
"Those damn sand bandits, why did they choose to attack now!" Tarot slammed his right hand on the table and said angrily, the number of sand bandits has increased several times compared to the last time, and after the knight chief of Planton on their side took half of his men to Pompeii, only a third came back, which was the time of weakness.
"They don't have any means to cross the water, just a few small boats at most, and we could sink them all before they get ashore. Doron said.
"What's the matter? The sand bandits are attacking?" asked Ao Xingfeng, who overheard their conversation as he went downstairs.
"Did the Holy Envoy wake you up? The Templars followed Tarot and knelt on one knee.
"What's the matter, don't kneel at every turn, let's make things clear first. Ao Xingfeng sat on a chair and said.
"Early this morning, the sentry on the east side of the island sounded the alarm bell, and we went to the scene to see for ourselves, the group of sand bandits was about 900 people, and some of them were hiding behind the sand dunes. Tarot said.
"And how many people are there on our side?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
"Plus the total number of people you brought yesterday is 352 people, but I don't know how strong this group of sand bandits is, if it is just ordinary sand bandits, our most ordinary Templars can fight against five. Tarot was a little depressed at first, and then he became a little proud.
"Are those sand bandits still on the other side now?" Ao Xingfeng asked, standing up.
"Yes, they are preparing the ships. Tarot said as he followed Ao Xingfeng.
"Have you found any traces of sand bandits in other discoveries?" asked Ao Xingfeng as he walked.
"Not for the time being, if there is a situation they will ring the alarm bell immediately, we will know. Tarot said.
The 122 Templars followed Ao Xingfeng and Marin, quickly towards the east of the island, and it didn't take long for Ao Xingfeng to see the other side, the group of sand bandits dressed in extremely Arabic style, several of them carrying boats from behind the dunes to the shore.
The east side of the island is 400 meters wide from the opposite shore, and I really don't know what these sand bandits think, advancing in such an empty lake is tantamount to moving targets, and it is estimated that they were all sunk before they even got close.
Outlaws are not stupid, on the contrary, there are many outlaws who are very cunning, how could they be so stupid to expose their bodies to the arrows of the Templars?
The Templars had already begun to set up a fixed ballista, but the sand bandits on the opposite side suddenly became agitated, pushing the boat into the lake in a panic and scrambling to jump on the boat and row towards it, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Look at !!," said a Templar in surprise as he pointed to the opposite side.
A black and oppressive figure rushed out from behind the sand dunes to chase after the group of sand bandits, and the caught sand bandits were instantly thrown to the ground by those figures, and they were torn into several large pieces in the blink of an eye, Ao Xingfeng saw clearly that it was the undead who were chasing the group of sand bandits, making them panic and flee to the Templar camp.
The "Puff Puff Pass" boat is limited, and after taking 4~5 sand bandits immediately left the shore, the other sand bandits who did not get on the boat jumped directly into the lake regardless of it, swimming towards the middle of the lake and not daring to look behind them.
More than 900 sand bandits were instantly reduced to more than half under a surprise attack by the undead, and the undead roared angrily on the shore, but they did not go into the water, but walked back and forth on the shore for a while, and then pulled the corpses away.
"Once that group of sand bandits is in range, don't hesitate to shoot them directly. Ao Xingfeng ordered, of course, even if Ao Xingfeng didn't say it, the Templars intended to do this, the sand bandits were originally made up of scum, and they would not have the slightest sympathy for them because they were attacked by the undead.
The sand bandits in the lake watched the group of undead leave, but no one dared to go ashore, but rowed towards the island.
"Boom, boom!boom!" Several ballistas hidden in the woods shot several arrows like spears at the same time, some of which fell directly into the lake, and a few arrows hit the boats of the sand bandits, and one arrow even strung four sand bandits in one go, and flew up from the boat and landed in the lake.
"MD, you bastards!" the bandits realized that there were Templars of the Holy See lurking in the woods on the island, and they immediately cursed on the spot.
They did not dare to continue near the island, but froze on either side of the lake, fearing that the undead would hide behind the dunes and prepare to ambush them.
"Is there even a desert with undead, this is really not good news, I hope the reinforcements will be safe on the way here. Ao Xingfeng said to himself.
Ma Lin said on the side: "Lord Holy Envoy, all the countries of the continent have been attacked by the 'Scarlet Moon', no one knows how many undead there are, but you don't have to worry too much, the reinforcements will gradually converge on the way back, and no matter how many undead are in front of them, they are just chickens and dogs, and they can easily eliminate harm for the people on the way to the people." ”
"Well, hopefully. Ao Xingfeng nodded and said.
