During the night, Surdak returned to the Sulphur Mine in Pubao Mountain, and before he had time to say a few words to Aphrodydo, who lived in the Sulphur Camp, he quickly went into the lava mine and ran to the treasure chamber to feed the dragon......

Finally calming Seriel in the treasure chamber on the eve of dawn, Surdak returned to the camp.

……

Before entering the desert full of yellow sand, some ruined villages appeared among the mountains along the way, and the remaining ruins made people realize more deeply how ferocious those robbers were, they raided the barren land, devoured the living space of the barren land little by little, and now they have penetrated into the hinterland of the barren land, and the horse's hooves have even stepped into the area of the Great Rift Valley.

There is remnant snow everywhere, and the bones hidden under the snow occasionally show a corner, making the place look desolate.

In the afternoon, Surdak said that the team led by Surdak finally arrived at the edge of the desert, and at this moment the desert was also covered with a layer of hard snow shell, which was due to the melting and condensation of the surface of the snow, so that it seemed that the snow on the surface of the desert would be like solid ice for a period of time, but this layer of snow shell was not too thick, whether it was a person or a war horse, it would quickly collapse when stepping on it, and then stepped into the soft yellow sand and sank deeply.

After the horses entered the desert, their speed slowed down, but the caravan that had been dragging their feet behind the team became leisurely, and each of the dromedaries had four thick meat hooves, and they stepped on the yellow sand, and they did not sink deeply, and their legs were long enough, but they walked very smoothly on the desert.

In order to reduce the burden of the war horses, everyone dismounted, led the horses to break through the snow shell, and stepped on the yellow sand.

Andrew and Surdak got together, pointed to the boundless yellow sand in front of him, wiped a handful of snow slag on his beard with his hand, and said to Surdak in distress: "Last time Gulitham and I also entered the desert from here, when the snow had not yet frozen, we were originally following behind a bandit group, ready to eat them little by little, but here we were thrown away by them, their camels are more than horses, and when they enter the desert, they ride camels, lead horses and scatter away, Gulitham and I pursued hard, but we only chased and killed more than a dozen robbers, and they were completely thrown off, they were too familiar with the environment here, and they couldn't chase them at all! ”

"I'm not in the mood to play a game of cat and mouse with them this time, and now that I've made a mortal enmity, I don't plan to let any of them go, the law of survival in this desert is survival of the fittest......" Surda said to Andrew, holding his Gubolaima, beside him.

After walking into the desert, Surdak realized that he had overthought the environment here.

Now every step below the knee has to sink deep into the yellow sand, and it takes several times the strength to take a step, and in this environment, even a few more steps will make you out of breath, and now it seems like a big problem to fight the robbers in the desert!

"If you can't catch up with them, then take this place little by little and sweep them out of here." Surdak said to Andrew.

Selena followed the two, sitting on the back of a camel with a thick fur cloak, and was very quiet all the way, and rarely spoke.

Gulit was mixed in the team, his tall body was always looking around, he seemed a little impatient, always restless and wandering around the three local guides, as if there was something to ask, but he was not very easy to speak, so frightened that the three guides were also frightened, and thought that Gulit had some bad thoughts about them, entering the desert, they were not very familiar with this place, it was completely useless, they didn't want to be the three desserts of the ogre.

Seeing that Gulit was always moving around in the procession, Surdak stopped him curiously and asked, "Gulitham, what are you looking for?" ”

"Wind wolf, I heard the old hunter in the village say that as soon as you enter the desert, you may be targeted by the wind wolf, they will probably not surround before they gather enough strength, they will only follow behind without a sound, and the moment they appear, it means that they are sure to eat us, in fact, I want to know if they have followed, if there are already a few behind us now, I think dinner should be changed!" Gulit leaned over Surdak and whispered.

"You're expecting the wind wolf!" Surdak finally understood that Gulitum might be hungry.

Gulit said with some frustration: "But you see, we have been walking for so long, and we have not even seen the shadow of a wolf!" ”

"You can ask Viru, he is the Eagle Eye I found, he has the 'Earth Vision', if there is a wind wolf, he will definitely not be able to escape his eyes!" Surdak said to Gulithim.

When the ogre heard Surdak say this, his face turned happy, and he strode towards Viru, as if the desert yellow sand could not stop him at all.

Viru stood on a large sand dune, just on the edge of the desert and observed the surroundings, although Hawkeye's 'Earth Vision' sounds very mysterious, it is actually very much like the Beastmaster Hunter's 'vision sharing', but the real Beastmaster Hunters in the Green Empire have basically disappeared, and at present, only the Orc tribe on the Pai Plateau still has the Beastmaster Hunters.

Viru can let his vision be sent to the harrier eagle he raises, let it fly into the sky, and take the opportunity to check the situation of the mountains, rivers, land and rivers under his feet, but this kind of spiritual attachment can't last too long, and he can't lie down and the harrier eagle flies too far, otherwise he can't see anything, Viru's large sphere of influence can just cover the surrounding ten kilometers away, although it is not too far, but it is enough for detecting the enemy.

This time, Surdak is also going to paint a detailed map of the desert on the edge of the Badlands.

The ogre walked up quickly to the big sand dune and crouched beside Viru, and the two seemed to have a conversation, but in just a few words, the ogre jumped up from the sand dune, and with a cheer, jumped down from the high sand dune, and instead of returning to the group, he spread his big feet and ran straight to the northwest.

The head of the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment, Gabriel, walked at the front of the team, looking at the figure of the ogre galloping away, he frowned at first, and then gave two orders to the deputy head of the group, and the deputy head Jace took a high-level ranger to ride on the horse and ran out towards the front of the team.

Captain Gabri considers that his mercenary group receives a high commission every day, that is, to bear the heaviest responsibility in the team, the security of the entire team, the detection of the whereabouts of the desert bandits, and the war with the robbers in the desert, all need his own mercenary group as the absolute main force.

He sent two rangers, including the deputy commander, out to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, hoping to detect the enemy situation in advance, and the mercenaries should show their own value, at least let the employer feel that the money spent is worth it.

The team walked very slowly into the desert, and the fifty reserve knights finally felt how hard it was to march in the extremely harsh environment, and when the team stopped, these reserve knights seemed to be tired as dogs, and one by one they wanted to lie flat on the cold sand......

They were driven up by Surdak with whips, and they could not save fires, feed horses, or set up tents.

While the reserve knights were complaining, the veterans had silently lit the fire, and began to sit in front of the fire in turn, stretching out their feet to roast the ice slag on the boots, so that the feet that were about to lose consciousness felt the temperature again, and there seemed to be no tiredness on their faces, this kind of arduous march was far less difficult for them than running to Oak Ridge to dig cassava in winter.

You can even see these veterans get together and tell a joke, and the most uncomfortable thing for them is riding horses.

The veterans in the cavalry battalion were also learning, they secretly stared at the mercenaries in those mercenary groups, silently recording all their actions along the way, although some things were incomprehensible, but they did not prevent them from writing them down.

Viru caught up from behind, and the ogre Gulit Teemdi trotted back from the desert to the northwest.

Surdak saw the harvest tied to his waist from afar.

That's right, he did meet a small group of wind wolves.

It's not a day or two since Gulit has missed the wind wolf meat, seeing that the wind wolf will certainly not let them escape, for an ogre who can be tough with the third-level demonic beasts, these first-level demonic beasts are not enough to see at all, the bone-shattering stick in his hand smashed on the wolf's head, and immediately smashed the wind wolf to pieces, and then he immediately thought that Surdak's favorite thing was the headless wind wolf, and immediately changed his tactics......

This time he brought back six wind wolves, although these wolf meat was not enough for everyone in the team to sacrifice their teeth, but they allowed him to eat as much as he wanted.

He hurried back, preparing for Surdak to skin the wolf and get the most value out of the wind wolf.

Due to the presence of an ogre in the party, it was not common for the party to be followed by wolves after entering the desert.

And this kind of sour wolf meat seems to be more satisfying to the ogre, he does not hesitate to run around with physical strength, and his primitive hunting skills are also admired by everyone, it is simply unreasonable, he directly rushes up and kills him with a stick, and then drags the corpse back, in a simple and direct way.

I don't know if it's because it's too cold and the robbers are hiding, but they didn't encounter the bandits along the way.

At dusk on the third day of departure, Surdak's team finally saw a small oasis in the sea of sand, but this oasis was in the cold and snow, all the trees were withered, and there were some silver rime hanging from the branches, like a small ice and snow world.

From a distance, you can see a wisp of green smoke rising from the direction of the oasis, which shows that the desert oasis is lived, just look at the faint green smoke, you know that there are not many desert robbers in this sweet water oasis.

Surdak didn't even need to tell if the people living in the Sweetwater Oasis were robbers or not.

This season,

At such times, if it were not for the robbers, they would not have survived on the desert oasis at all.

Viru retracted the 'Earth Horizon' and said to Surdak, "It should be a large camp of desert bandits, less than a hundred people. ”

The mercenaries of the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment all looked happy, and their eyes fell on Captain Gabbri. Gerry nodded, and then whispered to the mercenary: "The old man is killed directly, women and children don't count the number of heads, and they can be killed if there is a threat, your main target is those strong desert bandits, a piece of hardware, war horses and camels all belong to the employer, pay attention, don't get killed, be careful to deduct money!" ”

"Okay, Boss!" The mercenaries snapped into action with excitement on their faces.

Before Surdak started the battle again, he also arranged the task in a decent manner: "Commander Gabbri, you lead people to rush up from the front, the cavalry battalion is wrapped up from the left side, and the knights of the guard battalion are copied from the right bread......"

……

When the sun was about to sink into the yellow sand, a row of shadows appeared on the depressed desert, and they were like a big open hand, enveloping the sweet water oasis in front of them, which was less than a square kilometer in circumference.

There was no temptation at all, and when the rumbling horses' hooves came, the war horse was only a few hundred meters away from the Sweetwater Oasis.

A group of desert robbers living in the Sweet Water Oasis had just eaten dinner, and just as they were about to spend a good night in their tents with their hot white sheep in their arms, they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from all directions like rolling thunder, and these desert robbers immediately put on their hard leather armor, scrambled to turn from the tent, picked up their weapons, and rode their horses one after another.

Seeing a row of knights rushing towards him, knowing that escaping at this time was only to be slaughtered in the desert, he gritted his teeth, screamed, and waved the scimitar in his hand to rush forward to the front, trying to chisel through the front and seek a glimmer of life.

But before they could rush forward, a volley of arrows came at them, and the desert bandits who rushed to the front were shot off their horses one after another.

Commander Gabri and the other seven high-level warriors in the mercenary group formed a sharp arrow formation, and eight people rushed to the front, just before colliding with the desert bandits, a giant peak suddenly emerged behind Captain Gabri, and this mountain peak instantly turned into an earthen wall, blocking the front of the bodies of the eight high-level warriors, and the desert bandits were not in a hurry, and the scimitars slashed at the earthen wall.

"Kill ......"

Captain Gabri let out a roar in his throat, and the spear in his hand was like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, and suddenly a ball of gunfire erupted from Gabbri's hand, and the oncoming desert bandits did not have time to retract the scimitar in their hands, and hurriedly raised their shields with one hand, but the spears hit the shield like a torrential rain, and the impact sounded repeatedly, and the shield in the robber's hand was concave at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The robber's arm was numb from the shock, and finally he couldn't hold the shield, and Captain Gabri took advantage of the situation to enter and shot the robber in front of him away.

The robbers behind rushed up, wanting to take the opportunity to cut Captain Gabri off the horse, the mercenaries behind Captain Gabri hurriedly blocked a blow for him, Captain Gabri drew back his sword, handed the spear out with his backhand, and pierced the robber's throat one after another.

Several high-level mercenaries of the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment with superior strength instantly opened a gap in the front of the bandit group, and thirty well-trained mercenaries strangled with these bandits.
