The wind howled, rolling up the yellow sand, and another terrifying sandstorm.

However, this kind of bad weather is not uncommon in the Oak Sands Sea, and it can even be said to be very common, almost once or twice a day.

At this time, if the creatures do not want to die because they are swallowed by the yellow sand, they must find a safe place.

And leeward hills, deep underground, are good choices.

Two hours passed, and the wind finally subsided, but the whole desert seemed to change because of the sandstorm.

After a few moments, the sand under a sand dune suddenly wriggled and a figure broke through the ground in a matter of seconds.

The person who came out of the sand was none other than Leo, who had been on a journey for a whole month, and following him, Isha also climbed out of the bunker.

Both of them looked quite bad at the moment, their faces were full of sand, and their expressions were quite tired.

"Phew!Phew!" Leo spit out the sand from his mouth very uncharacteristically, then took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to the girl, "Drink some." ”

Isha took the water bag, but instead of drinking it immediately, she helped Leo sweep the sand off her hair first.

Looking at the girl's slightly aggrieved expression, Leo felt distressed for a while, and said, "Hold on a little longer, we should already be on the edge of the sand sea, and we will be able to leave this ghost place in a few days at most." ”

"Well, it's fine. Isha nodded obediently, and suddenly smiled again: "Actually, this journey is also quite interesting." ”

"yes, it's interesting. Leo echoed heartily.

For two months, the two followed the route Leo had taken before, all the way east.

Maybe it's really because of the previous war, and there really hasn't been much danger along the way.

Not to mention desert trolls and orcs, even the beasts that live here are rarely encountered, so much so that for a few days. The two of them had to survive on the dry food they carried and the water that Leo had created using magic, and they didn't get a trace of flesh at all.

However, the journey is not boring, with the scenery, unpredictable weather, and the occasional friendly desert nomad encounter.

After chatting a few words, Leo took out the jerky he had prepared earlier and gave some to the girl.

He planned to continue on his way after this lunch, trying to reach the border of the Lunar Empire as quickly as possible.

However, the two of them had not finished their lunch yet. A group of riders suddenly appeared behind the hill.

Each of them was dressed in wind-resistant leather suits, riding tall horses, with weapons hanging from their waists, and their faces were also tightly wrapped in animal skins.

Seeing this group, Leo immediately became vigilant and blocked the girl behind him. Because he really can't judge the identity of the other party from his clothes, he can only be cautious. If it's someone from the Kalent Empire, it's better to say that if it's a desert horse bandit, then you have to strike first. It scared them.

Sensing his change, the girl's hand was also on the big sword behind her back, ready to pull out at any moment to cooperate with Leo's attack.

To Leo's surprise, the riders didn't stop where they were. They didn't rush up, but they split up and ran towards the two.

Soon, the separated rider was approaching about ten meters, which was already a dangerous distance.

Just as Leo was about to shout at the other to stop him from advancing. The man tore the skin off his face and shouted, "Hey!

Hearing him call out his name, Leo couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a man in his early thirties. Black hair and blue eyes, indeed a little familiar.

It was Isha who reacted faster, and whispered behind Leo: "It's the team leader of the family, I ...... last time"

"Oh!oh!" Leo patted his head, and memories of years ago finally came back.

The man in front of him was not the captain of the castle's internal guard who had captured him at that time, Ronse Aureth......

With such a discovery, Leo finally reassured himself completely, and said, "Such a coincidence, Captain Longse, why are you here?"

Ronse Aures laughed, jumped off the horse, and said, "That's the question I want to ask you, too." ”

Of course, Leo would not answer truthfully, but simply said: "I went on a trip to the Supreme Forest a while ago, and I brought Isha back by the way. ”

"I see. Ronse Aurex nodded, not looking deeper. As a mid-level member of the family, although he didn't know what the battle was all about, he also understood that it wasn't for him to understand.

The two sides exchanged information with each other, and Leo realized that it was the turn of the Joseph family to be in charge of the defense of the border area recently, and the team of Ronse Aures was traveling on a patrol mission, but he didn't expect to meet the two of them.

"Let's go, if we ride our horses, we'll be able to reach the town before dark, and the Marquis will be very happy to see you. As he spoke, Ronse Aurex beckoned his men to send a horse for Leo and Isa to ride.

As night falls, the autumn weather is already a little cooler.

As Ronse Aurez said, after obtaining more horses, they arrived on time in the newly built town of Custel on the border.

It's a small town, but it's actually a fortress.

The towering stone to the perimeter wall, on which there are soldiers every few meters, and between them are huge city defense ballistas, but since the war is over, there are no assumed crossbow arrows on them.

After a brief communication with the defenders, the city gate opened, and a group of people entered the inner city smoothly.

Seeing the scene around him, Leo was even more sure of his judgment.

There are not many buildings in the town, and at first glance, almost all of them are houses for soldiers, and there are not many shops on either side of the street, and there are occasional patrols passing by.

Led by Ronse Aures, the two soon arrived in front of one of the largest buildings in town.

After telling the guards what they were coming, a man in full armor rushed out.

"Hahaha, it's really you! it's really you!" the man let out a hearty laugh, and his joy was self-evident.

Leo couldn't help but show surprise on his face: "Uncle Philip!"

When he saw Leo's younger brother and Montoya's father, who had taken good care of him at the time, he naturally felt a sense of intimacy.

"It's good to be back! I haven't eaten yet, come on, let's eat together!" Philip couldn't help but stop the shoulders of the two, looked at the guards on the side, and whispered, "Go, bring the good bottle of wine I hidden!"

"Your Excellency......" The guard hesitated. Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, and this is a strict rule.

Philip didn't care about this, and immediately blew his beard and glared: "Let you go, go! Today is a good day, how can you do without wine!" (To be continued......)
