Chapter 23: Emergencies, Heroic Units
Although Richard never raised bees, most people were filled with some inexplicable knowledge in the era of the information explosion.
When the number of bees increases, new queens are born.
The newly-born queen bee will take some of the bees out with them and divide the nest.
Generally, there will be more nests in spring.
However, judging from the rate at which desert bees produce 10 units of honey a week, the reproduction rate is definitely not slow.
Maybe it won't be long before the second nest and the third litter will be separated.
If it can really be scaled, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to the city of dusk.
Richard believed that anyone who tasted desert honey would never forget the amazing taste.
After all these things were arranged, it was already noon.
Just now in the yellow sandy land, the sand date forest is lush and green, the spring water is bubbling and flowing, and the bees are buzzing and flying.
It has become a paradise in the desert, an oasis of life.
After Richard had lunch, he didn't stay in the territory and continued to explore with nearly 3 squads.
Today his goal is hunting.
The price of the food was so high that he was very impressed.
If you can exchange a few more treasures like the Sand Date Forest, it will be of great value to the City of Dusk.
Today's exploration is due northβ.
With nearly three squads of elite-level troops, Richard is full of confidence.
According to yesterday's search experience, leave 4 each of the mummy and the scorpion warrior to protect themselves.
The remaining two squads dispersed and searched as far as they could.
The effect of this method was very obvious, and within ten minutes of marching, a group of scorpion warriors two hundred meters away suddenly alerted two hundred meters ahead.
Spot the enemy!
Richard, who was already considered experienced, immediately shrank his forces and let the large army gather.
Lowering his footsteps, he led the army to the side of the vigilant scorpion warrior.
Following their guidance, I climbed the low sand dunes and looked stealthily ahead.
I saw it in the passage formed by several sand dunes next to each other.
Hundreds of desert bandits on horseback, with scimitars in their hands and white turbans on their heads, are frantically attacking a wagon with more than a dozen guards.
The twin engines collided violently.
Horses' hooves trampled on the sand, splashing up puffs of dust, fighting and roaring, hysterical.
"Ding~ triggers an emergency, a team of desert bandits is plundering the caravan, you can choose freely.
1. Join the desert bandit camp and snipe the carriage;
2. Join the wagon camp and fight against desert bandits;
3. Do nothing, stand by or just leave.
Note: The rewards for emergencies are uncertain, please explore independently. β
Emergencies?
Richard couldn't help but be a little amused as he watched the task prompt that suddenly sounded in the system.
He didn't expect to attack the convoy with desert bandits.
But since he can choose freely, the child will choose a side, and he wants them all.
Open the Properties panel.

Richard couldn't help but laugh at the attributes of the desert bandits.
Good fellow, it's really a class of troops born for robbery.
The team is much more serious than that.

The carriage consisted of only 14 soldiers, all of whom were of elite rank.
However, the difference in numbers between the two sides is too great.
Desert bandits are more than a squadron.
And there are robbers in the rear with crossbow arrows to shoot and suppress.
Although the carriage guards fought desperately to break through the blockade, they all returned in vain, leaving only corpses in vain.
If it weren't for the well-equipped, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to support it a long time ago.
Just as Richard was about to make a move, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe, a big belly, and a short sausage come out of the carriage.
The other side is constantly roaring and directing the battle.
The properties of that short sausage made him very interested.

Good guys, there is a hero unit in this convoy.
But the other party's bond made him think.
Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce?
NPC, Native......
As soon as these words came to mind, I immediately aroused great interest.
In the forums, other lord players have also mentioned that they have also encountered some indigenous caravans one after another these days, and he thought that there were no such things in the desert.
I didn't expect this to happen.
After watching the situation gradually deteriorate and the convoy began to collapse, Richard no longer hesitated.
With a wave of his hand, he gave a decisive order.
"Everyone obey the order and kill all the desert bandits! Don't hurt the people in the carriage! β
The mummies and scorpion warriors, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately launched a charge towards the battlefield.
The eight-legged scorpion warriors were one step ahead of the mummies, and these mighty classes with two giant iron pincers slammed into the desert bandits besieging the convoy from the flanks.
The desert bandits reacted when they appeared, and directly sent 5 squads to snipe blatantly.
They're almost on the verge of taking their target, and they won't allow anyone else to take their food!
Stomping~
The desert horse's broad hooves trampled on the yellow sand, raising dust behind them as they ran.
The desert bandit swung his scimitar violently, and the power of the scimitar was greatly increased by the high-speed running of the horses.
Stomp ~ Stomp ~ It's close, it's close!
The desert scorpion's indifferent face showed a chilling smile.
The two pincers opened violently and swung like lightning.
The two sides converge at a breakneck speed in the running opposite each other.
It's just a moment.
Sonorous~
Puff~
Blood splattered!
The Ranger's corpse was broken in two, flew sideways after high-speed inertia, and slammed into the ground, the bubbling blood directly staining the sand.
Spikes.
The charge that had just been launched seemed to be nothing more than a rush to death at this time.
The desert horse under the Ranger also stepped into his footsteps after his death, and the scorpion warrior's iron pincers were a sword-like weapon of death when opened.
When closed, the protruding hook in front of it is also like the iron hook of a pirate's prosthetic, extremely sharp.
Ahh
The hook slashed directly through the desert horse's side, tearing open a massive wound.
The flesh and blood turned over wildly at this moment, and the white bones of the forest were broken inch by inch.
The desert horse let out a cry of pain and then fell to the ground and died.
As necromantic beings, the Scorpion Warrior doesn't know what mercy is.
After the first desert bandit was killed instantly, more desert bandits charged at them, trying to kill these terrifying monsters with the impact of their horses and their numerical superiority.
But instead of being afraid, the scorpion warriors became more and more excited, and launched a counter-charge towards the desert bandits!
A desert bandit wields a scimitar from the side, his weapon reflecting the cold glow of the sun in the sunlight.
Vowed to kill the scorpion warriors on the spot.
The scorpion warrior didn't look back, and his back was bent like a scorpion-tail lightning bolt from a bow.
The desert bandits rushing from the flanks simply didn't have time to dodge.
Puff~
The sharp scorpion tail pierced his chest directly, and blood spurted wildly.
The desert bandit's powerful scimitar slashed at the scorpion's tail before he died.
A series of sparks flashed, and a few gaps appeared in the scimitar, but the scorpion tail was unscathed.
Poof~ The scorpion tail pulled back violently, and the Ranger flipped off his horse directly, and the dead body fell to the ground.
The scorpion warrior sneered, did not open the iron pincers again, and directly attacked with a hook with a tip that was more terrifying than the iron hook in the butcher's hand.
Whew~Whew~
Between the swings, a violent sound broke out in the air.
Sonorous ~ The scimitar of a desert bandit was knocked away directly after colliding with it.
The scorpion warrior's left arm swung down violently, and the iron hook puffed ~ directly through the neck of the ranger, and with a hard pull, a head flew several meters high.
Violent to the extreme.
The desert bandits collided with the scorpion warriors, showing a one-sided situation.
It's not like a desert bandit is besieging a scorpion warrior, it's more like a scorpion warrior slaughtering a desert bandit.
There are 5 squads of ordinary 3-star troops, and they collide with scorpion warriors under the high-speed charge of horses.
In the case of taking advantage of the situation, he was still stunned by the scorpion warrior's slap.
They were like a wall, no matter how the desert robbers charged, they couldn't make them take half a step back.
The desert scorpion went to madness.
