Chapter 109: Showing the Sword to the Empire
Ang~~Ang......
A group of sand beasts scurried through the vast desert.
At the head is a young man with a sturdy build, slightly taller.
It has been more than two months since Li Jun assumed the position of captain under the West Leader, and the secret review of him by Kamanda and the West Boss has also ended.
This is the first time that Li Jun has led a team to go out to find supplies as a free man after entering the ancient desert city as a prisoner.
The number of people in the squad is not large, only more than a hundred people, all of them are lean swordsmen, with certain fighting and actual combat ability.
Most of the captain-level characters are at the peak level of the sword guard, belonging to the existence of the inability to cultivate the fighting spirit, the wave of people who cultivate the fighting spirit are basically the captains and officers who command thousands of people, in the ancient desert city, the sword master-level characters are even masters, and the great sword master belongs to the flow of the strong, the sword cultivation of the four major leaders in the east, west, south and north belongs to the level of the great sword master, as for the sword realm of the Kamanda leader, Li Jun has never noticed it, the breath is restrained, and there is no fluctuation of fighting spirit.
Unless she was an ordinary person, otherwise, Kamanda's kendo realm should far surpass Li Jun's cultivation, so he couldn't detect Kamanda's cultivation level.
Riding a sand beast, speeding in the vast desert, rolling the loess wind and sand, the void in front of him was a distorted scene, boiled by the high temperature, and the "whirring" wind that blew up quickly was hot, and he didn't feel cool at all.
In the desert, there is not a single grass growing, and at a glance, there is a monotonous yellow everywhere, not even a single tree, and the vastness of the desert makes all of us feel tired, as if we can never go out.
In the boundless sea of sand, dotted with clumps of trees, it is sand willow.
The clumps of sand willows injected vitality into the originally silent sea of sand. In order to survive in the water-scarce desert, Salix relies on its tenacious perseverance, like the bush of thorn flowers that pursue "natural selection", and deeply roots in the sand. It is tens of meters long and stretches all the way to a place where there is a water source.
Here, once life is created, it is difficult to die. Because the difficult environment can often raise great and tenacious lives.
It was the first time that Li Jun had come out to find supplies, so he was not as good as the rest of the sand thieves in many ways.
However, fortunately, he didn't have any shelf, and humbly asked the sand thieves about the knowledge involved.
Several old sand thieves turned over and dismounted. walked to a high sandy slope, stretched out his finger, pointed to the green in the distance and said, "Li Junzi...... Captain, do you see that little green dot? In the scorching desert, the climate is so hot, and the vegetation is scarce, there is a green state there, this is obviously very abnormal, it should be the place where the attacking plant monster is entrenched, waiting for the fool to take the initiative to jump in. Suck his blood dry, eat his flesh and bones, and keep yourself alive. ”
"Well, the leader of the West once said this to me, but there is a question, who would come to this ghost place for normal people? If it is a sand thief, who has lived in the desert for generations, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, if that group of attacking plant monsters and relying on fools who don't know anything to throw themselves into the net. Like a stupid hunter waiting for a rabbit, wouldn't he starve to death and die of thirst?" Li Jun asked puzzled.
The old sand thief chuckled mysteriously and said, "No one eats them, they can eat other magical beasts." For example, birds and birds flying over, passing sand snakes, sand beasts, magic rats, etc., no matter how bad they are, they can also beak their own kind. ”
Li Jun blinked, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "You mean that there is an undried water source in the place where the group of plant-based demonic beasts are entrenched, right?!"
The old sand thief nodded. Said: "Aquatic wood, so wood dissolves in water, where there is water, there must be plants, and because of the wood, so plants can be found under the land, no matter how deep the place, captain, you see, the place where the plant monster is entrenched is very large, about forty acres of square area, the amount of water should be very large." ”
Ang~~Ang......
The sand beast let out a roar, and a group of 100 people sped towards the green dot on the horizon.
The green state is not big or small, bathed in the sun, and there are some scattered hoof prints of sand beasts and traces of small animals crawling around it.
"Someone has been here!" Li Jun's heart suddenly moved.
It was a bush of thorn flowers, each of which resembled a beautiful flower tree, so realistic that if you came to the desert for the first time, or if you didn't know the unlucky bastards of the thorn flowers, and strayed into this place, intending to take advantage of the cool and find a water source, you would be swallowed by the endless thorn flowers, and there would not be a single bone left.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a scream came from the thorn bush, a thorn flower bloomed with white blue petals, and grabbed the body of a child of several years old, and a series of immature screams came out, which was extremely terrible.
"How can there be children here?!" Li Jun was shocked.
An old sand thief said with a complicated look in his eyes: "It's an exile." ”
"Since it is exile, there should be an army escort, right?" Li Jun said.
"Maybe the men of the army are dead, or maybe they are just driven into the desert and left to their own devices?" said the old sand thief.
Li Jun felt that he was not a bad person, nor was he a virgin, and he acted entirely according to his own conscience and preferences.
In this situation in front of him, Li Jun will not have a hot brain, imagine himself as some kind of savior, and rush into it to save people without saying anything or thinking about it.
After weighing it up, Li Jun asked the rest of the sand pirate members, "Let's go in, will we live or die?"
An old sand thief replied decisively, "Die!"
Li Jun sighed silently, asked the rest of the people to be on alert, and stared at the thorn bush by himself.
After a long time, the screams subsided, and countless thorn flowers seemed to be roaring excitedly, and the white blue petals were no longer pure, dyed with a shocking bright red, and from time to time minced flesh and bones fell out of the petals.
Ang~~Ang......
A sand beast hissed from afar, and one of the sand thieves shouted, all of them holding their crossbow arrows and aiming them at the sand beast team.
"It's the Emperor's team!" shouted one of the sand thieves.
The army that maintained the charging formation and marched quickly, wearing the light armor of the active soldiers of the Koro Empire, the eye-catching national flag fluttered, and several large orange and yellow characters shook in the wind, and the six big characters of "The Thirteenth Regiment of the Eighth Army" were written on it.
"It turned out to be a border army with an army number!" Li Jun was secretly surprised, with a numbered army. Either the elite inland army or the frontier army guarding the frontier, the city guards and reserve armies did not have a regular military number.
"Captain, what to do. Shall we fight or run?" asked one of the sand thieves aloud.
Li Jun hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a voice suddenly came from behind: "There are only more than forty of them, while they haven't discovered us yet." Give them a crossbow arrow, and they can shoot more than half of them, and the remaining surviving Koro soldiers, let's rush up together and directly chop them up and feed them to the sand eagles!"
The person who spoke was a mediocre-looking sand thief, who seemed very silent all the way, and when he spoke at this critical juncture, he couldn't help but feel that he was a bit of a suspicion of seizing power and command.
Li Jun looked at the calm eyes of the sand thief in front of him, and felt that Kamanda and the West Boss's review of him should not be over, but only gave him the right to freedom. If you want to fully gain their trust, let them feel that they are real, and fully integrate into the ancient city of the desert, it is not possible to do without a few bloody names.
This sand thief seems to be the person sent by the West Boss to monitor and censor him.
The rest of the sand thieves are not stupid, they have survived in the harsh environment so far, and without a strong and sensitive ability to perceive, they have long been killed and fed to the sand eagles, so they all looked at the two of them one by one and became silent.
Li Jun was silent for a moment. Suddenly smiled slightly, took out the Xuanxuan Knife from the ring, pointed at the group of emperor ** team who were hurrying away, and shouted: "To them." Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh......
Countless arrows flew through the dry void, rubbing against the scorching air, as if the arrows were on fire, and there was a "snort" sound.
Poof!poof......
One after another, the emperor ** people who came on the sand beast fell from the back of the sand beast. Fatal areas such as the chest, neck, and head gushed out large clumps of plasma.
"Enemy attack!" shouted a commander, his body burning with white fighting energy, condensing a pair of fighting armor, which collided with the speeding crossbow arrows, and a dull sound of "tuk tuk" was heard.
Ang!Ang~~
The sand thieves rode the sand beasts, let out an excited howl, drew their iron swords, and charged at the panicked soldiers of the 13th Regiment of the Eighth Army of the Empire.
Burst!
A huge head flew up, driven by the momentum, and flew out of the void for three or four feet before falling to the ground, and was crushed by the sand beast rushing behind.
After the commander saw clearly the people who had attacked his team, he suddenly became furious, pulled out a heavy black iron spear from the ground, and with a "bang", smashed a sand beast directly to the ground, and stabbed out a shot violently, piercing through the belly of the sand beast, and stabbing the head of the sand thief on the back of the sand beast.
"Humble sand thieves, all deserve to die!" the commander roared, and pulled out the heavy black iron spear, blasting the heads of the two sand beasts violently, and the two sand thieves rolled over and fell off their horses, breaking their legs.
Wow~~
The black iron heavy spear stabbed out, trying to pick and kill a sand thief, and suddenly, a silver frisbee burst into the air, and the commander was shocked to swing the heavy spear and shoot it towards the silver frisbee.
Burst!
The silver frisbee had a great spin and momentum, and it smashed the commander into the air, collapsing his mouth and nose, losing all his teeth, and blurring the flesh and blood on his face.
"Your '' and 'son' raised Gong Pig dared to break the leg of the great Hank!" a mercenary named Hank, holding a tattered iron sword with a grim face, crawled in front of the commander and stabbed him in the heart.
Boom!
Suddenly, the silver frisbee slammed diagonally between the tattered iron sword and the commander, blocking the blow of the iron sword to the commander's heart.
"Don't hurt his life, I have something to ask him. A calm voice came from behind Hank, and Hank turned his head to see that the owner of the voice was his captain, the former young viscount, Lord Li Jun.
"Captain, why? Do you think that the pigs raised by this '' and 'son' can still return to the ancient city of the desert?" asked Hank, puzzled.
"No, I didn't want to persuade him to submit to us, but I needed to ask why the exiled children and women were here, why they had strayed into that thorn bush, and they had been eaten without a single bone!" )
