September in the barren land has survived the hottest summer.

The temperature difference between day and night in the barren land is large, during the day, the vicious sun can almost dry off a layer of skin, and at night, when the mountain wind blows, the coolness will seep into the bones, and the members of the adventure group need to be wrapped in blankets to sleep when camping in the wild at night.

Some of the adventuring groups finally made their way through the barren land, touched the edge of Pus-Bag Mountain, wrapped themselves tightly in linen, and walked through the ash-covered death area to the foot of Pus-Bag Mountain, where the sky was full of ash and falling ash, and when they saw the crater of smoke, they prepared to follow the smoke column in search of sulfur ore.

But no matter how much they tried to get around, they couldn't get around the boundary markers made of wooden planks.

The boundary monument reads 'Barony of Surdak Territory Boundary Monument', as if it was specifically designed to enclose this Pustud Mountain in it, and the adventure group found that these boundary monuments actually completely enclosed the entire Pusd Mountain, and if they wanted to get close to Pusd Mountain, they couldn't avoid entering the Surdak Barony's Land.

Passing through the noble territory is nothing for the adventure group, but the real purpose of these adventure groups is to discover new sulfur ore veins, which must avoid the noble territory, otherwise opening a mine in the noble territory is definitely a theft and illegal mining, once sent to the noble court, this kind of thing will protect the best interests of the nobles, and the party who committed the theft will be punished to regret the shameful idea in the first place.

After rounding the Pusbag Mountains and burrowing into the Paglos Mountains, the group will find that the turquoise mountains of the boundary monument have come to an abrupt halt.

There are no other volcanoes in the southern part of the Paglos Mountains, but there are some mountain hot springs, and some of the valleys will be full of sulfur, but it is also very difficult to open a mine here, first of all, it is located at the other end of the barrens, deep into the Paglos Mountains, where there are few people and monsters are rampant.

If you want to get here, you have to go through the barren land, even if there are some sulfur mines in the valley, but ordinary miners can't survive in this dangerous area, and it is not realistic to clean up all the monsters in the mountains, and there is no need for an adventure group or mercenary group to be stationed in the mine for a long time, which will further increase the cost of mine operation.

Even in today's market conditions, the market price of sulfur ore has been rising, and the high operating costs of opening a sulfur mine deep in the Paglos Mountains are still unbearable for those businessmen.

Even so, in several valleys with hot springs in the Paglos Mountains near the Pus, there are several small-scale sulfur mines.

The closest sulphur mine to Surdak Territory is even a distant boundary marker north of Pubao Mountain.

Luke, who guarded the sulphur mines on this side of the lava river, and could often be seen navigating the volcanic ash at his knees, sent a message to Surdak and had people ride horses along the Barony's pillars to make sure they were still in their original positions.

In late August, the task of patrolling the boundary monument was given to the indigenous warrior Andrew.

In addition to inspecting the nineteen natural villages in the barren land, the indigenous warrior Andrew also inspected the territory of Surdak by the way, and the indigenous warrior Andrew is now not satisfied with fighting wits and courage with the bandit group in the desert, and perfectly avoided the raging fire of war on Andrew, who perfectly avoided the battle of Wall Village, especially after Surdak successfully implanted a magic pattern colony suit in his chest, this desire to fight. The hope became even stronger.

Every moment is like an invisible flame burning the body......

Andrew rode the horse that had long since adapted to the barren land, untied the water bladder from the saddle, poured the last bit of water from the water bladder into his throat, and the cool water dripped on his face, and the moist coolness made him feel better.

He was looking for a shady place to avoid the scorching midday sun before noon, and if memory serves, there were two huge rocks that looked like doorframes not far ahead.

Andrew could find a touch of coolness under the boulder, where he slept beautifully, and when it was almost dusk, he continued his horseback ride.

He'd been patrolling the Badlands for a summer, and he'd already mastered the survival mode here.

As expected, I turned around a hill with volcanic ash accumulation and saw a boulder not far ahead.

Andrew's horse suddenly came to his senses, it struggled to run to the side of the boulder, Andrew led the horse to a cool place, nailed the water gathering scroll to the stone wall, a drop of water condensed in front of the water gathering scroll, and fell into the iron plate below, the horse hurriedly lowered his head and kept drinking the water gathered in the iron plate, and occasionally licked the rock wall with his rough tongue.

Andrew sprinkled a little dragon dung powder around the stone wall, this wurm droppings are not expensive, but they are a good powder to repel poisonous insects.

In the barren land, every shady place is a gathering place for poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and many limestone iguanas will hide in deeper rock crevices, so in order not to be disturbed by poisonous insects, Andrew sprinkled a little wurm droppings, so that he can sleep until sunset.

It's close to the edge of the desert......

The last time he met a gang of sand thieves in the vicinity, he rode alone and chased a dozen bandits, until the robbers fled into the desert, Andrew stopped the pursuit, and the result was the heads of five sand thieves and three Salta horses.

Now these three horses are in the convoy of the village of Wall, and in just one year, the number of four-wheeled carriages in the village has grown to forty, and if it is not limited by the number of coachmen, this number will have to be increased by at least one base.

Andrew used a shovel to dig through the dry ash until the rocky ground was exposed under the ash layer, and then laid a wolfskin mattress in the pit, which was close to the boulder, and in the shadow of the boulder, he lay on the mattress in heavy armor, and kept his strength with his eyes closed.

This is the rule of the guard battalion, go out on a mission alone, and you are not allowed to take off your armor even if you sleep.

He wanted to see some adventuring party sneaking into the territory to steal the brimstone mines, and then he could fight it himself.

He raised his right hand, his heart moved, a trace of warmth flowed through his chest, and a flame appeared silently, this flame wrapped around his right hand, and his hand did not feel the heat of this flame, only felt a warm ball wrapped around his right hand.

This is the effect of the Demon Pattern Breeding Suit 'Fury Flame', which has not yet shown any effect except for helping him quickly raise a fire on a cold night, but the embarrassing thing is that in this barren land, it is not easy to find firewood that can make a fire.

Andrew controlled his emotions and watched the flame in his hand gradually extinguish, then squinted his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while.

There was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves on the rocky ground below, and Andrew, who was asleep, opened his eyes, he sat up from the wolf's skin mattress abruptly, and quickly pulled the war horse that was standing aside and licked the rough rock wall into the shadow of the rock, and he crouched on the sand, peeking out in the direction from which the horse's hooves came.

I saw a group of rebel cavalry appear on the Gobi, and the leader of the rebel army led by him was rushing towards the boulder with a cavalry squad, a total of six people.

Andrew didn't even think much about it, just saw the posture of those rebels on horseback, he knew that they were a group of hard bones, the posture of riding horses was as standard as a textbook, although he didn't know how long he had been driving, but those horses were not tired at all.

I heard that about three squadrons of the rebels in the north have sneaked into the territory of the city of Highlandsa this time, and it was only one of the cavalry squadrons that attacked the village of Wall last month, which means that there are at least two other cavalry squadrons operating in the territory of the city of Highlandza.

Karl was busy with this every day, but he couldn't even touch the tail of these rebels.

Suppressing the raging fire of war burning in his heart, Andrew didn't dare to take another look, for fear that after one look, he would change his mind and turn around to fight this group of rebel cavalry in the depths of the barren land, he was not worried about anything else, only worried that the news of the rebel cavalry near Pubao Mountain would not be passed on.

Andrew hurriedly put away the water-gathering scroll on the stone wall, poured the water from the water tray into the water bladder, and drank the remaining water.

After packing up his salute, he pulled his horse and turned to the other side of the boulder, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the most vicious and hot time of the day had passed.

He mounted his horse and immediately ran south, intending to escape the sight of the rebel cavalry before they could react.

But what Andrew didn't expect was that his horse had already run into the slope covered with volcanic ash, and the rebel cavalry would discover his existence a little earlier than he expected, and the rebel knights didn't have any intention of stopping, and chased them directly from under the boulder.

The six rebel cavalry were like a huge net that opened to wrap up Andrew,

At this moment, Andrew's heart was also extremely hot, he touched the butcher's axe on his body with some excitement, pulled the reins several times, and turned to kill back.

On their own turf, there's no reason to be chased by these rebel cavalry. Running around behind the strands.

Andrew was a little agitated, and he hammered his fist twice in the chest.

Less than fifteen kilometers further southwest, the sulphur mines of the Lava River could be seen, but Andrew was not prepared to lure the rebel cavalry there, although there were four hundred kobold slaves there, but it was obviously useless against such a well-trained rebel knight.

If you don't get it right, it will also bring unwarranted disaster to the villagers of Wall Village who supervise those kobold slaves.

So Andrew ran straight to the south, and further ahead, he was on the edge of the desert.

This is also the outermost border of the city of Highlandza, and Andrew is ready to use his familiarity with the surrounding environment, and use his war horse to be fully rested, and his physical strength must be better than that of the rebel cavalry, and pull these rebel cavalry away, preferably alone, or in groups of two.

Andrew then took the opportunity to break down the six rebel cavalry one by one.

He remembered that at the edge of the desert, there were several large sand dunes connected together, and he had pinned the battlefield there.

The big sand dune is easy to find, the most striking sign is that there is a stone pillar nearly 30 meters high near the desert, this stone pillar is so abruptly standing on the desert, it is covered with stripes left by the wind and sand, and the whole stone pillar is also showing a kind of shuttle shape.

The horses galloped all the way, not only did they throw off the rebel cavalry, but also made the rebel cavalry a little closer.

Those rebels don't know what kind of training they have received, so in the face of adversity, the potential to burst out is actually stronger than Andrew.

Andrew was looking forward to running to the sand dunes as soon as possible, as anyone who came to the dunes for the first time would get lost in the big sand dunes that were surrounded by them.

Just as Andrew was bent on escaping to the Great Sand Dune, he saw the stone pillar from a distance, and in addition to the stone pillar, he also vaguely saw a person fighting on the top of the stone pillar, but it was too far away, and it seemed that the figure was just a small black dot.

Andrew couldn't think of anyone who would have the courage to climb the thirty-metre-high stone pillar, which had weathered over time and was now crumbling, making it even more dangerous to climb on.

He was also worried that there was still a group of rebels hiding there, and if he was accidentally caught between the two rebel squads, it would be the most troublesome.

Thoughts flipped back and forth in Andrew's mind a few times.

As he approached the stone pillar, the figure on the pillar gradually became clear.

Just looking at the red tight-fitting leather armor and the hood that covered his face, Andrew put down his mind completely, and before Surdak could signal Samira, Samira sat on a high stone pillar and had already spotted Andrew who was fleeing here.

Samira made a familiar gesture to Andrew......

Andrew rushed into the sand dunes with a desperate horse, followed by the rebel cavalry behind him.

At the same time, Andrew was lost in their sight, and a sense of crisis welled up in the hearts of several rebel cavalrymen.

They stopped outside the large sand dunes and hesitated for a moment, and the leader of the rebel cavalry chased down with one of his men in the direction in which Andrew had disappeared, and the other four rebel cavalry divided into two squads, one on the left and one on the right, ready to catch Andrew hiding in the dunes in one fell swoop.

The leader of the rebel cavalry was carrying a spear in his hand, there was a scar on his face that straddled the bridge of his nose diagonally, his face looked a little hideous, his face was already showing a gray fatigue, and he continued to urge the secret method of horsemanship, transferring his physical strength to the war horse, and after running such a long way, the war horse was not only physically exhausted at this time, but even the rebel cavalry was extremely tired.

Andrew guessed that the rebel cavalry had broken into pieces and infiltrated the Paglos Mountains and the Badlands in search of some kind of secret.

The rebel leader was worried that the news would attract more peeps, so he bit Andrew and desperately left him behind......
