There were eight people in the tent who had the most power to speak in the mercenary group, and for the sea giant mercenary group, they were once again caught in a dilemma, and everyone did not express their position, so the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Captain Gabry coughed twice, knowing that everyone didn't want to be the one who broke the promise.

It's just that tonight, if the mercenary group does not evacuate the Huwan Oasis in advance, it will face a huge number of desert bandits, which also means that each member of the mercenary group will have to face dozens of bandits at the same time, it can be said that the situation is very dangerous, and Captain Gabri can't even think of a reason for his victory.

Gabry was a little entangled, there were now two voices in the mercenary group, the conservatives wanted to take advantage of the snowy night to quietly leave the Huwan Oasis, so they left without a sound, even if they unilaterally terminated the cooperation with Baron Surdak. Several mercenaries with radical personalities in the mercenary group believe that doing so will disgrace the sea giant, and that it is a coward's act to leave silently, and to abandon their companions on the battlefield is an out-and-out deserter.

But before death strikes, being a deserter seems to make sense.

Captain Gabri was a little hesitant, he wanted to hear the thoughts of the eight members of the mercenary group who had the most right to speak, and these eight members were all high-level fighters of the Sea Giant Mercenary Group.

"Okay, what are your plans?" Gabbrey felt that when he said this, his throat was bitter.

The other mercenaries in the Sea Giant Mercenary Group looked at each other, and after making eye contact for a moment, a high-level axe warrior poured the short axe in his hand into the frozen hard sand, his eyes fixed on the short axe in front of him, and he didn't look at the eyes of others, so he said directly:

"If I leave like this, I may look down on myself for the rest of my life, and I want to stay!"

His voice was a little low, and it was staccato and rough.

Hearing someone say this, a ranger sitting next to Captain Gabri immediately said:

"Wake up, don't be stupid, Bobby, don't you know how many robbers are going to attack the Huwan Oasis at night?"

The axe warrior still didn't look up, just took out a piece of oil stone, and kept polishing it on the axe blade, every time the oil stone passed over the axe blade, a dark red glow would appear on the oil stone, and he said angrily: "I know there will be a lot, but I want to fight until the last moment with my chest up, it is better than sneaking away and living for a lifetime, this is my pursuit, I can't force others to be like me, I won't force you to force you, but I will stay and fulfill my last promise to them." ”

The Ranger laughed angrily and said, "We've done our promise well, what else is there?" ”

The axe warrior said with some stubbornness: "One end of hardware, I won't walk until the short axe in my hand is broken." ”

A two-handed swordsman sitting next to the axe warrior said seriously: "Commander Gabri, I also intend to stay, there is no word 'retreat' in my life motto. ”

Another mercenary, armed with a spear and carrying a heavy shield, said, "I don't think we're going to lose, I'll stay." ”

"Baron Surdak saved me, I want to stay and help him a little more......"

Someone else continued.

In the end, the only person who wanted to leave at night was the ranger, and the ranger also smiled very awkwardly and said, "Damn, why am I a villain every time!" ”

Captain Gabriel reached out and patted the Ranger on the shoulder, signaling that he understood everything, and then said:

"Since everyone is planning to stay, then everyone! Prepare well, there is a tough battle before us, I will go to Baron Surdak to determine the duty of defense at night, and how to fight in the event of an enemy attack, and remind them to be extra careful tonight, but it doesn't matter, our scouts on duty at night can put the patrol area farther away, and try to buy us more time to prepare! ”

"Yes! Head. Seven mercenaries stood up at the same time.

Twenty-two mercenaries were still standing outside the tent, waiting for their decision.

……

"This world is currently half light and half darkness alternately, and when complete darkness comes, the goddess of darkness will come to all believers in this world......"

Selena, dressed in a black robe, sat in the middle of the tent and recited the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness.

When she was spreading the teachings of the Dark Goddess with the kobold slaves, she had long remembered these words.

Now it is naturally effortless to say the slave girls who have been robbed by these desert robbers, and the more these words are said, the expressions on their faces become more solemn, the women are silent one by one, they have been living in fear for the past few days, they have survived the killing, these people have not abandoned them in the icy desert, they are like a heavy burden, they have been carried.

The women feared that they would feel that they were a burden and would be abandoned in the desert at the most dangerous times.

Now suddenly a woman in a black dress told them: her name is Selena, everyone hurry up and believe in Celine, the goddess of darkness, and the goddess will protect her followers when everyone is in danger.

The women were like grasping at the last straw, and even though they knew that this straw could not hold the weight of their bodies, they still held it tightly in their hands...... I don't plan to let go.

For women, it may not just be a dead grass, but the last hope for all of them to live.

It was quiet inside the tent, and Selena dragged her tired body to her feet, walked to the tent entrance, lifted the tent and walked out.

Surdak sat outside the tent, and without looking back, he asked Selena:

"Is there really a world of eternal darkness?"

Selena said without hesitation, "Of course. ”

She walked up to Surdak and sat down, ignoring the snow on the ground.

Her bright eyes became as bright as the moon, and she even had a moon emblem on her smooth forehead, making her beautiful face even more charming in the dark.

Surdak turned his head to look at Selena's side face and told her, "If the battle starts tonight, you will hide with them." ”

Selena protested, "I can help you." ”

"I know ......"

After Surdak finished speaking, he looked at the night in the distance,

At night, the surrounding tents are still lit up.

The snow stopped.

……

Viru grabbed his hair in some pain, and he found that the man in front of him who resembled Jonbach was actually fundamentally different from Jonbach, and the biggest difference came from the depths of his heart.

Viru knew that Jonbach was a single-minded man, that his sweetheart was a sorceress from the North, and that he could not fall in love with any other woman until her life or death was confirmed.

This was not the case with Surdak, who had a beautiful and gentle wife in the village of Wall, and who was said to have been betrothed to a noble lady in the city of Bena, and who was now bringing his lover to the battlefield......

Jonbach was also a devout believer, believing in the Goddess of Liberty, who always hoped to pass the temple test and become a devout battle priest.

But Surdak was different, he couldn't help but have no respect for Lady Liberty, and his woman was still a heretic......

Viru suddenly felt that he might have taken it for granted, he now felt that although Surdak and Jonbach were exactly the same in appearance and size, they were fundamentally different, and he was even a little discouraged, feeling that he had done something meaningless again.

It's not meaningless, follow Surdak's army into the desert, he has been eating salamander meat every day recently, and his body has been greatly improved, and he is not so repulsive to the fire element, and his body is slowly recovering after being burned by the fire element.

The thought of leaving suddenly rose in his heart, and he looked at Surdak from afar, wanting to let his coming and going become quiet......

But I'm afraid not now, he hasn't fulfilled his promise this time, and he will continue to stay and help, at least let him return to Vol Village safely.

Holding the somewhat warm searing bow, Viru slowly closed his eyes and felt the inside of the world......

The slightest hint of fire in the cold wind.

……

A group of sand thieves broke through the snow and came to a sand dune.

The night sky was dark, and the desert in front of me was covered with a layer of snow, and there was nothing to be found here except the sand dunes.

If it weren't for the robbers' extreme familiarity with this place, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to touch it at night.

Now they hid in the darkness on the sand dunes, looking at the sand dunes at their feet, and the lights were still on in the camp tent at the bottom, and the light of the fire gave a touch of warmth to the cold night.

The army that had come from the barren land was stationed under the dunes, and their own men touched the top of their heads, and they didn't even notice it.

It was hard for the Cumberland leader to imagine how the other party didn't even arrange for the guards on duty at night......

He glanced back, and the sand thieves in the dark night could see some faint colors in the sand thieves' swath with gems studded around their waists.

The bandits were dividing into four teams as they had previously deployed, and each of them was quietly surrounding the camp.

Even though they were the losers of the struggle for power in the center of the desert, the banished exiles, they were the masters of the southern edge of the desert, and no one knew this place better than them, and the Cumberland chief tugged at the reins of his horse with one hand, trying to restrain the impulses in his heart.

A group of robbers behind them also became excited, their eyes fell on the camp at their feet, this wolf pack sneak attack tactic has not been used for a long time, and now to show a strong impact, the robbers on the top of the dune, very consciously lined up in two rows, just waiting for Cumberland to give an order and rush down.

They would open the tents and wake the people inside in the cold north wind, and then, under their stunned faces, raise their scimitars and cut off their heads.

They didn't even have time to climb out of their sleeping bags, or even put on their armor, before they were killed.

The robbers suppressed the excitement in their hearts, suppressed the war horses under their crotches, and let them settle down a little.

On the sand dunes opposite, a neat row of knife lights lit up, and the bandits on the dunes on both sides also sent signals of preparation, and the leader of Cumberland lit the torch in his hand at this time......

Almost at the same moment, two hundred robbers behind him lit the torches in their hands at the same time, and a neat row of fire dragons appeared on the dunes.

There were also lighted torches all around, these torches were lined up in a neat row, so that the world suddenly brightened, I don't know which robber drove his horse down the sand dunes first, and one of the robbers rushed down first, and immediately all the robbers rushed down the sand dunes one after another.

The torches in their hands were like lines of fire, and the horses' hooves stepped on the sand dunes, speeding downward with the rolling quicksand.

The Lowell Chief, the Keplov Chief, and the Scarface Chieftain were in four different directions, charging towards the camp under the dunes almost at the same time.

……

In fact, when the robbers first arrived at the dunes, everyone in the camp already knew about it.

The two hundred veterans of the cavalry battalion in the tent, dressed in thick full-covered armor and holding heavy tower shields, sat quietly in the tent and waited for the group of robbers, who tried their best to suppress the excitement in their bodies, and stared through the gap in the tent door and stared at the sand dunes.

When a long fire dragon lit up on the dunes, the veterans in the tent couldn't suppress their inner emotions and let out a low cry.

At the same time, countless torches were lit in all directions, and nearly a thousand desert bandits rushed down from the sand dunes, which seemed to be extremely powerful.

Selena was in her tent, drawing a complex pattern circle on the ground, she knelt in the center of the circle reverently, folded her hands and silently recited a hymn to the goddess of darkness, and a meteor-like dark element pierced the night sky and fell into Serena's body, and those dark energies continued to gather into a cluster between Selena's hands, and a large dark orb was formed between Selena's hands.

The moment this orb was formed, the whole room went dark.

As Selena chanted the incantation, an invisible black cloud slowly formed in the night, and those invisible dark aura spread out from Selena's body, and the absolute darkness was slowly forming, and it spread out like a tumbling morning mist.

The robbers who bore the brunt of the attack only felt that there was an extra black mist in front of them, and after rushing in, the torches in their hands suddenly dimmed.

The heart of the Cumberland leader who rushed to the front suddenly tightened, he felt as if he had rushed into a thick black fog, although he could see the situation around him, but it was only within fifteen yards around him, and a little farther away, his vision became pitch black.

He rode his horse and charged downward, the slope of the sand dunes was very steep, and at this time he couldn't stop no matter what, the camp in front of him suddenly disappeared from view, and there was a cool air behind the leader of Cumberland, and things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought.

A bad thought came to mind......

There were magicians in this team, and the sight in front of him was speeding by, and a group of cronies were still following him, which made him a little uneasy, and settled down a little......
