Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The cleaning of the battlefield was carried out in an orderly manner, and the statistical results were slowly reported one after another.

This inexplicable sneak attack by the sand bandits made many people puzzled.

Sand bandits are a collective term for uncivilized primitive tribes and habitual offenders who wander the wasteland.

In the wasteland, the forces of the sand bandits are innumerable, as many as cattle hairs, the large sand bandit group has thousands of people, and the small ones also have more than a dozen people who gather together to rob.

The sand bandits are located in the barren land of the wasteland, except for the fierce and man-eating monsters, there are no production and living resources around them. It is impossible to farm, nomadic herding, that is, there are no rivers and no minerals, and it has to endure volcanic eruptions and poisonous fog and miasma from time to time.

As a result, robbery became the only way for the bandits to survive.

They robbed not only those tribes that occupied rich areas, but also other sand bandits, and the ferocious, greedy, warlike and bloody became almost synonymous with sand bandits.

They are like locusts in the wasteland, and there is a disaster in the place where they pass.

However, the sand bandits also have a weakness in controlling their lives, and the most constraining thing about the strength of the sand bandits is that they lack iron weapons.

Because there were no mineral deposits to excavate, there were no raw materials for them to craft weapons, and when they were fighting, more sand bandits were holding those hard monster leg bones, and the front end was sharpened and used as bone spears. Occasionally, a few weapons were snatched from the battles, and all of them were held by the leaders of the sand bandits, and there was nothing ordinary to do with the sand bandits.

Really fight with those war hunters with sharp weapons, they suffer a lot, and no matter how fierce the sand bandits are, they can't stand the guys who don't take advantage of it.

Every time there is a battle with the hunt, if the hunt dies one, the sand bandits often have to die five or six.

Therefore, when the sand bandits invade and rob those wealthy tribes, they often report the principle of fighting a battle, grabbing a handful and running, and never falling in love with war.

But this time, the sand bandits unexpectedly fought fiercely with the Heavenly Demon Clan hunters for nearly half an hour, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and suffering heavy losses, I really don't know what they are crazy about this time.

What is even more puzzling is that they did not rob grain or mine, and those sand bandits on horseback did not carry any robbery baskets on their backs.

What are their plots?

The casualties of the clansmen were also reported, Lei Hao frowned and flipped through the details transcribed on the soft animal skin, each group of numbers on it was a tragic experience of a broken family and a death, it was a heart-rending blood and tears, Lei Hao's heart was extremely heavy, and he let the tribesmen suffer such a heavy disaster in the area where he was stationed, how could he, a centurion, bear it.

...... Two hundred and seventy-three felt tents were destroyed in the fire, and their belongings were burned to the ground.

...... A total of 308 mutilated bodies of the clansmen were found awaiting retribution.

...... Thirteen miners were nowhere to be found, and no bodies were found.

"Huh?"

Lei Hao's fingers slid down and stopped on that line of words, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he raised his head to see several other eagle winged centurions who came to the aid standing not far away directing the aftermath, Lei Hao's heart was pounding, and he quickly ran over to gather those people together, and anxiously pointed out to them the detail he had just seen.

The message on the hides made the centurions realize that something was wrong.

Several people looked up from the hide, and there was a look of shock in their eyes: could it be......

They speculated that it was highly likely that in the barren land deep in the wasteland, the sand bandits had accidentally excavated mineral deposits.

The sand bandits have no mining experience and have no way to start with Baoshan, so they will not hesitate to make a big move this time and plunder more than a dozen experienced miners at the cost of heavy casualties.

Only in this way can we explain the reason why this group of sand bandits fought with heavy casualties but did not grab food.

The faces of the centurions all changed.

If the sand bandits find the mineral deposits and mine them and build iron blades on a large scale, then the overall strength of this sand bandit will surge, and the sand bandits holding sharp iron weapons will be a nightmare for the tribe's western frontier.

......

The armament of the Heavenly Demon Clan's western frontier was fully operational, and after a whole day of on-site investigation, battle restoration, and the reasoning of those strategists for a whole night, all the clues finally further verified the guesses of Lei Hao and the others.

At noon the next day, in front of the wide tent of the Eagle Wing Team 6 of the Heavenly Eclipse Mine, countless hunters with bright guns and armor stood guard and patrolled, and an iron-blooded killing aura made the idlers tremble and avoid it from afar.

In the tent, a long row of tables was flanked by people.

The hundred-necked of the sixteen brigades of the Eagle Wing Army, the three thousand-commanders, one armament hunter in the clan, two military merit book masters, and several related refiners such as the Eastern Pavilion Master of the Array Fire Pavilion, Ye Lao Wall, Xiao Luan, and Zhou Lu gathered together.

The atmosphere was quite strict.

The Armament Governor has the privilege of directly colluding with the Elder Pavilion in the Clan in the Frontier, so in the event of a heavy armament incident, the Governor can act on behalf of the Elder and enjoy the supreme command.

The tall and fat Armament Hunter Sopero on the side of the table stretched out his hand and straightened the collar of his leather armor, his face was full of solemnity, his sharp eyes looked around the faces of everyone, and said in a low voice:

"The results of our analysis have been transmitted to the Elder Pavilion through the barbarian array on the Guò Sacrifice Tower, and the elders of the Elder Pavilion attach great importance to this matter...... The elders believed that if the sand bandits were given iron weapons, then we would never have peace in the western frontier, so the great elder personally issued two barbarian orders, first, we must rescue the thirteen looted miners, and never let the sand bandits master the mining technology, and second, we must find out which sand bandits have found out where the mineral deposits appeared. ”

"Brute Blood Order?"

Hearing the three words of the brute blood order, many people in the camp tent were moved.

It seems that the trouble is big, and this matter has been taken seriously by the Elders' Pavilion as a major event related to the safety of the clan. A brute blood order means that no matter what the local armament tries to do, it must be completed.

The tall, fat Governor of Sopero paused, frowned, and continued:

"In order to complete this brute blood order mission, our Western Xinjiang Armament Department has studied in detail and believes that the most important thing at present is to send an elite scout team deep into the depths of the wilderness to find out which sand bandits committed this sneak attack and find the specific whereabouts of the missing miner. ”

"Once the situation is all understood, and the detailed map of the sand bandits' location is also figured out, we will send a large team to hunt deep into the wilderness to suppress the bandits and rescue the miners......"

The centurions in the tent were stirring, and they knew that this was about to be a big battle.

Before the big battle, whether the scout team could complete the reconnaissance mission became an extremely critical link.
