，

Shata City, a city in the turmoil of the Gankodi Empire, has been plagued by violent sandstorms blowing from the desert and, of course, a large number of sand pirates.

The inhabitants of this place have to worry every day, worrying about bad news coming from the desert, worrying that the men in their families will go into battle to protect their families.

Although the Kodi Empire is huge, there are still places that are difficult to reach after all, and in such a marginal city with a population of less than one million, it is impossible to send an army of 100,000 people to defend it, but on the contrary, the total number of sand thieves here is more than 100,000.

Xiao Feng was nervous, the soldiers defending the city on Shata City, looking nervously at the desert in the distance, three days ago, the most powerful sand bandit gang in the desert, the Dilong Wu Kexi and his gang, issued an ultimatum to Shata City, asking Shata City to hand over a ransom of 10 million gold coins, otherwise, they would attack Shata City.

However, there are less than one million residents in Shata City, how can it be possible to put together a ransom of 10 million, so this kind of rude request was naturally rejected.

Although the defending general of Shata City has already asked the empire for help, let alone waiting for rescue, just the news is transmitted to the central city of the provincial capital, it will take more than half a month, and then it will be reviewed layer by layer, and finally the army will be dispatched, which will waste more than half a month, and by the time the reinforcements arrive, their Shata City will have already died.

"Strange...... Why hasn't the company arrived...... According to their habits, they said that they would never be late for attacking any city, and it was already evening...... a soldier said with some trepidation.

"Are they trying to attack at night? If so, we won't sleep at night. , said another soldier.

"It shouldn't be possible, there are a lot of large sandworms in the sandy land near our Shata City, if you come at night, even if you are a group of sand thieves, it will be very dangerous, they can't do this kind of thing that hurts their own troops. ,

"Then why don't you say they haven't come, when Mo Nan City was broken three years ago, Wu Kexi and his gang appeared on time, and it took less than three hours to break through Mo Nan City, our Shata City's troops are not as many as Mo Nan City back then, do they still need to be so secretive. ,

"I've heard that this time the movement of Wu Kexi and his gang is very large, uniting the largest sand pirate groups in the desert, and it seems that they plan to capture our Shata City as their stronghold. ,

"They're too bold, aren't they?," the soldier shouted in horror.

"If those sand thieves, all combined, have at least 300,000 troops, such a large number of troops, even a small principality, will have a headache, if Shata City is occupied, I'm afraid our empire will only acquiesce in this matter, if you want the empire to send a large army, it will definitely be impossible. ,

"That's right, now that our empire has been dragged into a dead end by the Caesar Empire, the two empires will definitely not die, and they will not be able to divide their forces at all, and then take care of other idle things. ,

These two soldiers defending the city seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, and when they talked about the great war between the two empires, they did not feel the same hatred at all, let alone worry about the country.

For them, whoever rules the country has no effect on them, and they and the civilians here are stationed in the border cities, and even if they change dynasties, they will not have any influence from time to time.

They only care about the things in front of them, and the life and death of the Kodi Empire are far less important than the crisis at this moment.

However, at this time, several spy soldiers hurriedly ran outside the city, and ran into Shata City in a panic.

"Isn't that the Wind Patrol Battalion brothers, seeing their hurried expressions, there should be news. ,

"Judging by their faces, it's definitely not good news. ,

The news, indeed the news, Wu Kexi 80,000 sand thieves, the bloody hand sand thieves and a group of 50,000 sand thieves, as well as the sandstorm and the Dongfeng sand thieves each 60,000 sand thieves, a total of 250,000 sand thieves, were slaughtered by four guys of unknown origin, and the remaining 100,000 sand thieves.

The reason is very simple, that is, I saw that among the four people, there were two beautiful girls who wanted to be taken prisoner, who knew that those four people were all a group of killing gods who killed people without blinking.

The sand thieves were crushed, and the slain were torn apart, and the four men pursued them all the way to the lair of Ukosi.

In a remote restaurant in Shata City, this restaurant looks very inconspicuous, and there are not a few customers all day long, but the façade here is magnificent, and it does not look like the style of a small border town at all.

"Jager, we're leaving. , A pretty girl in her twenties, looked at the maid around her, this maid named Yager, her appearance is no worse than her miss, and she is a few years younger than the miss, it looks a little more elf and naughty.

"Those hateful sand thieves, we should really ask our commander to kill all those sand thieves one by one. , this girl named Yager pulled her small fist and said viciously.

"Don't think about it, the Great Commander has just been promoted to the god level, even if he asks the county sister to be a sand thief, and slash and kill a sand thief of one or two thousand, he still has to be put to shame, Miss said with a light sigh.

"It would be nice if the master was here...... Mademoiselle will not suffer such humiliation. , Yager said unwillingly.

Between the young lady's eyebrows, there was a hint of melancholy: "Death is dead, what to do so much, since grandpa chose this path in the first place, he should have thought of such a result." ,

"Hurry up, pack up your things, and we'll evacuate Shata City, anyway, this stronghold is not an important place. , said the young lady.

At this moment, a man in his thirties, with heroic hair, walked in with a bit of arrogance.

"Archon. , Yager said softly.

"Hmm. , the Grand Commander nodded, as a stronghold of glory, each stronghold, there will be a core member to guard the stronghold.

Generally speaking, this stronghold is headed by the Grand Commander, but the stronghold of Shata City is a bit special, as the granddaughter of the former Elder, and she is also introduced as a core member by special circumstances, so in the stronghold of Shata City, she is the real director.

"Commander, are the horses ready?" Ashena asked.

The Grand Commander smiled, looking at Ai Shenna's gaze, a little softer: "Ai Shenna, don't call me so outward, just call me Jinshi." ,

Ai Shenna smiled: "Grand Commander Jinshi." ,

"You, you, when the elder passed away, he entrusted you to me, so we should be considered a family. Jinsh patted Ashena on the shoulder.

Aishena moved away with a smile, and seeing Aishenna's expression, Jinshi withdrew her palm slightly embarrassed.

"Archon, can we go now?" Jager asked in discord.

"Let's go, why are you leaving?" the Grand Commander laughed, "I've already asked the general who defended the city, and the sand thieves seem to have given up the idea of attacking Shata City, so we don't need to evacuate." ,

"What? It shouldn't be possible for the Korsi Sand Bandits to give up attacking Shata City so easily, right?", Ashena asked.

"This ......,

At this time, a few people suddenly walked in outside the door, and Yager stepped forward: "A few customers, our small shop is not doing business today." ,

"I'm not here to invest in the store. , said the young man who walked in front.

"We're here for an inn, aren't you here to invest in the store, and what are you here for?," Yager asked puzzled.

"Since your inn is not in business, I, a guest, do not come to the store, what's so strange about this. , the boy said with a smile.

At this time, Ai Shenna walked over, first glanced at these people, and paid more attention to the younger female shocker among them.

These people are naturally Fang Yun's people, Fang Yun knows that in this Shata City, there is a glorious stronghold, so he followed the secret note, he first came to the Kodi Empire, and he needed some peak information.

Fang Yun took out a half-glorious emblem in his arms: "I'm from where I should be."

"Bronze Emblem!", a hint of surprise flashed in Aishenna's eyes.

In the glory, the core members and above are divided into bronze badges, silver badges and gold micro-signs, the grand commander and her, all belong to the bronze emblem, but the grand commander is the core member, and Ai Shenna is only a peripheral member because of her lack of strength.

The young man in front of him, since he can take out the bronze emblem, it means that he is at least a member of their level.

"A few people inside, please. , Ai Shenna glanced at the Grand Commander and led the way into the inner hall.

"Are you here, what's the matter?," Ashena asked softly.

"Give me all the information you have about the pinnacle you have in your hands. , Fang Yun said directly.

Ying Shenna glanced at Yager, who retreated consciously, and the Grand Commander glanced at the people.

Except for Roparva's age, which was slightly older, the age of the others was only half his age, and at such an age, he was still a little surprised and even suspicious that he could get the bronze insignia.

"A few people have come from afar, why don't you rest in the stronghold for the night first, and I'll go and prepare the materials. Ai Shenna said: "Yage, you go and prepare four upper rooms to entertain several guests. ,

Yager outside the door responded, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Fang Yun: "It's not four, it's five! ,

Ai Shenna looked at it in amazement, and found that on Fang Yun's shoulder, there was a short dwarf lying on his stomach, and this dwarf was still covered with iron skin on his skin, which looked very strange.

"This is ......," Ashena asked, looking at Mimilon in astonishment.

Gnomes are rare in this world, and it is rumored that there are several sparse groups on the Western continent, and it is the first time that Aishena has seen Mimilon's bulging body, which looks like a puppet, which is amazing.
