It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Black Thornray and Peggy can't trade a non-existent hostage.

When the two were at a loss, Peggy suddenly thought of a solution: "Those slaves of the oasis seem to have a few who are about the same size as Glenn." ”

She once infiltrated the oasis as a dancing girl and recognized several attendants. Under her guidance, an obedient and honest man was quickly singled out and dressed him in Glenn's clothes.

The black thorn ray went out alone, agreeing to exchange hostages at dusk. At that time, the light was dim, and it was impossible to see whether this Glenn was real or false from a distance.

.

At dusk, the Red Pavilion takes up its position outside the oasis.

From a distance, the layers of shields are like shells, the armor with strict wings is mighty and majestic, and the chariots, cavalry, spears, and bows and crossbows are in good order. This neat scene made the black thorn ray's heart empty.

The trumpets sounded three times in unison, and Lydia, dressed in skirt armor and holding a spear, rode out of the front of the battle majestically, and asked in a loud voice, "Since it is better to exchange hostages, what about your people?" ”

Dressed in black robes and holding a scepter, the black thorn ray rode slowly out of the oasis on an alpaca. Several pirates tied up the fake Glenn and stood behind him. The black thorn ray shouted: "Come on, exchange hostages!" ”

Lydia waved her spear, "Drumming!" ”

The snare drum beats, the Red Pavilion military formation released the Red Sea Butterfly and Fanxi, the Black Thorn Ray released the fake Glenn, and the three hostages rushed towards the opposite side at the same time.

Watching the Red Sea Butterfly and Fansi get closer and closer, an eerie smile appeared on the face of the black thorn ray. He had already begun chanting the incantation, and the four soul stones on the Deep's Scepter in his hand were already shining with the light of soul magic.

The moment the two ran into the oasis, a mysterious soul power swept through the desert. Under the spell of the black thorn ray, countless whirlwinds swirled around, and the yellow sand that rose into the air condensed into the appearance of soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers in yellow robes and spears appeared on the sand dunes. They writhed their bodies and attacked Lydia's army like zombies under the control of a spell.

Lydia kicked the chocobo, picked up the fake Glenn, and hurried back into the line. The soldiers raised their shields and set themselves up to defend themselves against the onslaught of the Yellow Sands soldiers.

The Yellow Sand soldiers rushed towards it at an alarming speed, like a yellow hurricane. The yellow sand spear in his hand exuded a dangerous aura, and the powerful speed brought a huge impact force, and it slammed into the shield.

But the onslaught didn't break Lydia's formation.

The black thorn ray didn't expect that Lydia's military formation could still support the front and back, and the various teams supported each other, shouldering and back, and forced the shield array to be as strong as a reef.

When the sand soldiers attacked, the pirates also rushed towards them with their weapons held high. As soon as the Red Sea Butterfly loosened its restraints, it hurriedly asked for an alpaca and prepared to charge.

Just as she stepped onto the alpaca, a violent explosion suddenly sounded behind the oasis!

Fili and his men blew through the hedge to the north and rushed in. He picked up his strong bow and pointed an arrow at the black thorn ray's back. The black thornray was caught off guard and was shot to the ground.

Before they could come to their senses, Danica smashed the hedge to the south with a hammer, and a squad of infantry shouted war cries and swarmed in.

The pirates rushed halfway to the kill, and suddenly found that the sand soldier's soul technique had been broken, and when they looked back, their hometown had been stolen, and they hurriedly turned around and ran back to defend.

As soon as they turned their heads, a whistle sounded in Lydia's army, and thousands of arrows from their bows and crossbows were fired in unison, knocking down a large number of pirates in an instant. The shield array quickly turned into a charging formation, and dozens of squads turned into more than a dozen sharp swords and stabbed towards the oasis.

In the confusion, Van Xi took Peggy and rode onto the alpaca, "I can't beat it, retreat quickly!" ”

The black thorn ray, with an arrow wound, looked around and shouted: "There is no enemy at the east gate, retreat quickly!" ”

The pirates were already frightened by the slaughter of Lydia's army, and fled east with the black thorn rays and red sea butterflies.

.

After many days, Axey re-stepped into the oasis, but his heart was cold and piercing.

During the search, they found a dozen corpses lying in a tent, including servants, guards, and dancing girls. Corpses lay there cold, some rotting and stinking, as if they had been dead for days.

Axy closed his eyes in agony, "They escaped the butcher's knives of the Overseers, but they still died at the hands of pirates, and I wonder what happened to General Glenn." ”

The Red Pavilion soldiers searched the oasis twice, but they never found any trace of Glenn. Lydia has made a new discovery.

She took the attendant who pretended to be Glenn to the middle of the oasis, "Don't laugh, this man said: Glenn has fled." ”

He glanced at her, then at the squire, but did not speak.

Axie looked at him in disbelief: "How do you know?" ”

The squire said, "It was the two Warlords who told me that they had seen General Glenn flee and asked me to disguise myself as a general in exchange for a hostage." ”

Axie hesitated, "I have to pretend to be hostages, it seems that they shouldn't be lying." But in this vast desert, where will General Glenn flee? ”

"He didn't run away." Don't smile and suddenly speak.

Lydia had just two question marks popping up on her head, thinking, "You know again?"

Bu smiled and said indifferently: "If you can escape, why do you want to show up in front of the Overseer team?" ”

Lydia teased, "Maybe it's for the sake of the treasure? Like some people who always have to act like they're smart? ”

Bu Xiao looked around at his surroundings and slowly walked towards a spring in the oasis, "The desert environment is harsh, and there is little chance of escaping. The easiest place to survive is still the oasis. ”

Lydia was stunned by him again, "So he must have fled to another oasis?" ”

Bu Xiao observed the spring in front of him, looked at the surrounding furnishings, and finally shouted at the hollow of a large tree, "Come out, General Glenn." ”

Lydia scoffed, "There's at most one squirrel hidden in such a small tree hole." ”

He glanced at her without a smile, and then said, "Please Mr. Axey borrow a fire, I will release poisonous smoke here." ”

Axy had just tried to come over with his cane to take a look, when a stone behind the tree hole shook a few times. Then there was a sound of ropes, and a man came out of the bushes. Axie looked at it, and it was actually Glenn!

"General Glenn!" Axie was so excited that he threw down his cane and grabbed Glenn's arm with both hands, "You're hiding in such a place?" ”

Glenn was gray-faced, his whole body was already stinking, and he couldn't care about his image at the moment, so he laughed and said, "I'm an old wolf in this desert, how can those hairy children be my opponents." ”
