Chapter 52: The Desert
The dividing line between Hobrunse and Xerxes is very clear, a clear line of yellow and green.
To the north, in Hobruns, the vegetation is lush and the world is full of greenery and life.
In the south, the territory of the Xerxes is covered with yellow sand, and the Xerxes live in this desert.
Feeling the dry and hot wind blowing in the desert, Cha Mo wiped his nose: "This Xerxeltian is also quite miserable, and the living environment in the desert is much worse than that of Hobruns. ”
Owo slumped, "But it's much warmer here than Hobruns, and I hate the cold temperatures the most." ”
The end of the tea reminded: "Before I came, the Lord emphasized to me that once you enter the territory of the Xerxes, you must turn on comprehensive protection. ”
She put on the mask of the multifunctional suit: "Owo, you can wear the mask too, we will communicate with the communicator." ”
Ovo was still more obedient in this regard, and she also wore a mask: "What do you say is so special about the Black Lake of the Xerxese?" Could it be that their gods are hiding in the Black Lake? ”
Tea Mo shrugged: "Who knows ......, the Lord let us try to make peace with them, and ask them about their motives for invading Hobruns." ”
"I hope the Xerxes will sit down and talk to us calmly, or ......"
She checked the weapon system on the multi-legged vehicle, which was a machine-gun tank, and the twin Gatling guns on the vehicle were ready.
……
"Railroad ......" Vulcan Sect, the Pope looked at the map and information in his hand, trying to understand the new word.
Matthias nodded: "Aprile means that they need to transport the minerals they produce, so they will build this special transport. ”
"Roads made of steel......," the Pope shook his head, "their ideas are so whimsical that even if they collected all the steel in the country, it would not be enough to build something that is unimaginable." ”
Mathières said: "It can be seen that there must be a lot of iron ore in the pit of the 'Black Brown Mine', and what we have dug up before is only a drop in the bucket. ”
The Pope's gaze turned to the "Garon Pit" on the map, and if it was indeed as Matthias said, then the gold and silver minerals stored in the "Garon Pit" could also reach a staggering amount.
"It seems that 18 percent of the rent and taxes are still too low, and the amount of mineral deposits they can get from the ground is much more than we thought."
The Pope sighed, "But now the bigger problem is that the railroad ......" his finger ran along the dotted line drawn on the map.
"It's an epoch-making transportation, and if it's true, as April said, that a railroad can carry a lot of goods, maybe the whole of Hoble will change because of it."
Matthias's mind spun quickly, and he immediately followed the Pope's thoughts: "Are you saying that convenient transportation and the transportation of large quantities of goods will lead to a change in the situation in the country?" ”
The Pope nodded: "For us, we don't know whether this change has advantages or disadvantages for the time being. ”
"By the way, do you know about the urgent request for help from the city lord of Ophelia in 'Flame Torch' City?"
Matthias nodded: "I heard that the third, fourth, and seventh cardinals have already set out from all over the country to help. ”
Is it true that the situation is as serious as he says in his letter? Those Xerxes, who almost went extinct, really made a comeback? ”
The Pope said, "The Lord of Ophelia said that the number of opponents is much higher than that of sixty years ago, and the total number may exceed twenty thousand, if the number is correct......"
"We may have to deal with nearly two hundred 'dying people'......" Hearing the Pope's words, Matthias couldn't help but gasp.
Gu Ye "Sixty years ago, the Xerxies relied on seventy-six 'people who died' to defeat the 'Yanju' city, and then waved their army north to ......"
"Now Hobruns's entire force is simply not able to fight against such a number of Xerxes and 'those who are dying'."
Mathières clenched his fists and said, "Then I'll rush to Torch City now to verify whether this news is true." ”
The Pope waved his hand: "No need, the city lord of Ophelia is not a person who talks about it, he must be inseparable from ten when he says this." ”
"At this stage, the Lord of Ophelia has requested an emergency response force from the Holy See and His Majesty, ready to surprise the Xerxes who are still preparing and disrupt their deployment."
"This plan has been approved by His Majesty, and this is also the purpose of the third, fourth, and seventh cardinals going to the 'Flame Torch' City."
Matthias said: "It's too dangerous for them to go so far alone, right? ”
The Pope replied, "This is the best we can use right now, and I hope they will buy Hobright enough time." ”
Matthias asked with some urgency: "Then what can I do now?" If you have any new tasks, let me know. ”
The Pope nodded and said, "You do have a new mission. ”
He took out a letter from the drawer: "You bring this letter with you personally and give it to April." ”
Mathiès was stunned: "We are going to ask for help from the 'Journey to the Underworld'?" ”
The Pope nodded, "We have such a powerful ally by our side, and we definitely need to ask for their help at such a time. ”
"But this letter is not handed over to the 'Journey to the Underworld' now, you and Aprile are waiting at the embassy, if one day, the city of 'Flame Torch' is breached, then it is the time to ask for help from the 'Journey to the Underworld'."
Mathières frowned: "Do you have to wait until then?" ”
The Pope replied: "In this letter, Your Majesty has given too many things, and it may even shake the foundation of our Vulcan Sect. ”
"Until the last minute, we should still take this into our own hands."
"As for the 'Flame Torch' City, we can only hope that the plan of the City Lord of Ophelia will succeed, so that everyone can be happy."
……
In the yellow sand, the multi-legged chariot is moving forward on mechanical legs.
After leaving the border of Hobruns, the tea powder has nothing but sand in his field of vision.
Fortunately, the multi-legged vehicle should be dust-proof, and sand will not affect the vehicle too much.
After walking for several hours, Cha Mo opened the map given to her by the city lord of Ophelia, and the nearest black lake was not far ahead.
"Owo, we're about to see the Xerxes." After walking in the desert for so long, the tea powder was a little boring, and she looked up and said to Owo beside her.
However, Ovo raised his hand and said to her, "Tea powder, I think it was the Xerxes who saw us first, right?" ”
