A team of all sand bandits, walking in the vast desert.

Many of the bandits wore scarves or handkerchiefs loosely around their necks, tattoos symbolizing their affiliation, beards, and white cloth turbans wrapped around their heads to protect them from the eternal sun.

Some sailors are old, but they are not very old, at most about twenty or thirty years old.

Their skin was dark brown, their faces were wrinkled, and they had been baptized by the wind and sand.

A real old sand bandit with skin like a melted candle. The older sailors were mostly silent, their scarves around their necks always pulled up to cover their noses and mouths, and their turbans were so low that they almost covered their eyes with vigilance.

Most of the bandits carried more than one weapon: scimitars, daggers, bows and arrows, crossbows......

In the unique "culture" of the bandit circle, the more weapons you have, the more powerful you are—most of those weapons are acquired from battles, which include, but are not limited to, raiding small desert elf tribes, raiding caravans, and fighting between bandits.

These people's hometowns are all over the world: Nome, Spath, Rust, Beit, Taka, and even some are simply the remnants of the previously dispersed Usang expeditionary force.

And what led them was an elite squad of wind hearrs.

About a year ago, the bandits were scattered in the vast south-central region of Mediki. They rely on the business routes between the oases and the oases, with the weapons in their hands, and rely on their real skills to do a pleasant business without capital.

However, since the dragon Pasha ruled the territory of central Medici, the Scales of Eternal Order of Quest rose rapidly, and these sand bandit gangs that would have made a fortune from the development of commerce and trade have fallen into bad luck.

For the guy who affects the development of the Chamber of Commerce, how could the young blue dragon be allowed to be appeased? That is an important carrier for him to gradually grow his power.

As a result, these sand bandits who used to gallop across the desert became the main targets of the dragon Pasha almost as soon as he took office.

In addition to the dragon clan kobolds who will form patrols under the leadership of the young blue dragon within the dragon's lair to regularly encircle and suppress the sand bandit gangs on a large scale within the territory, the Scales Chamber of Commerce of the Eternal Order has also set a bounty on the heads of many well-known bandits.

Killed, fled, killed, wounded, in just one year, with Nome City as the center, there were no large bandit gangs entrenched in the surrounding area of hundreds of Palesan.

And those smaller gangs, often only a few dozen or even a few members of the sand bandits, they are not able to attack the city that has established the terminal and stationed in the power of the Eternal Order Scale Chamber of Commerce, and when they want to rob the caravan by land, they also have to weigh it to see if their group is the opponent of the caravan guard, so as not to rob the head but be "borrowed" by others and become a voucher for bounty.

Just when these sand bandits were trembling and panicking, the troops of the Wind Hearers began to plan for them in advance.

Many of the Sand Bandit Bandits have been infiltrated with secret spies before, and after their leaders were either hunted down to death by a bounty or died in "various accidents", these elite shunters all emerged and became the new leaders of the sand bandit gangs.

With their men, they moved away from the territory of the dragon Pasha and carried out small-scale activities in other Pasha's territories to recuperate.

At the same time, the group also secretly formed a sand bandit alliance, and the new leaders of each bandit, those elite members of the Wind Hearers army, gathered together, and used various means to eliminate dissidents and strengthen their power in the local area.

With the order of the Commander of the Wind Command, the regrouped sand bandits formed a coalition and began to march into the hinterland of the dragon Pasha, intending to "reclaim the wealth and honor that rightfully belonged to them".

Of course, these people are pawns if they say it well, and they are full "cannon fodder" if they don't say it well. The Commander of the Wind used this dark chess hand in order to put more pressure on the Scales of the Eternal Order to force them to accept their ransom demands.

The reason why the Sand Bandit coalition will take the lead is that the attitude of the Pharaoh is not yet clear, and Quest has not yet been declared a rebel, so it is not appropriate to send regular legions to his territory.

And according to the information learned so far, the dragon Pasha's ability to create territories is not weak, and the cities under his command are all hard bones, and several legions of the Medici have either experienced the invasion of the Usan before, or have resisted the disaster of demons, if they have launched a large army to attack the territory of the young blue dragon again, there will definitely be heavy losses of personnel.

But the Sand Bandit Alliance doesn't matter, even if they are all killed in battle, the commander will not feel the slightest distress, but will be glad that he does not have to deal with the scum of the empire in the future.

Of course, in order to prevent these cannon fodder from dying in vain, Commander Wenfeng still prepared some new weapons for them - the Sand Bandit Alliance captured more than a dozen artillery pieces and a large amount of ammunition through several "looting".

Thanks to the help of these weapons, they have the ability to pose a certain level of threat to the cities within the territory of the dragon Pasha.

"Bosses!"

Riding from the back of the group to the leader, a small leader of the sand bandits in a light blue turban shouted by the neck, he was in charge of the baggage vehicles, and in some cases he had to report to the wind hearers who led the group.

"The wheels of those vehicles have problems again, the barrels of those guns are still too heavy, and this is the thirteenth today...... No, it was the fourteenth time that the hub broke, and the places where the carpenter said could be reinforced with rivets were full. ”

"And what do you mean?" asked the leader disguised as the Wind Snier, indifferently.

"Boss, we haven't used this thing before, and as long as we prepare a round of rockets to shoot a round of rockets into the city, the nobles in the city who are afraid of death will not be scared and obediently send Silver Kate out to us. ”

The leather whip swept through the air, and hit the face of the "blue turban" with a "snap", making him tremble in pain but still didn't dare to shout.

"Is the sound of the whip louder? But it is far worse than artillery, and there is no louder sound than the sound of artillery. Especially when that voice rings in your ears. ”

In an almost aria voice, the leader of the Wind Hearers of the Sand Bandit Alliance "patiently" taught his men by example.

"It felt like a punch from nothingness. The explosion makes you tremble, dizzy, and wonder if the world is really shaking or if your eyes are just deceiving you, but it doesn't matter at all, because fear will grab your heart first. ”

Looking at the ignorant expressions on his subordinates' faces, the wind-hearer shook his head and said, "What is the reason to talk about cannon fodder," so he turned straight and said sharply: "Whips and rockets can't scare our new targets, you kid must not have been begging for a living in this place before, not an old brother who ran out of this place - just look at the color of the turban you wear - and artillery can work!"

was scolded, and the little leader of the sand bandits instantly understood a lot.
