As we get closer to the border of the desert country, the grass thins and the air becomes drier and hotter, and the heat that breathes into the mouth is like a hot knife scraping the throat, which is undoubtedly a nightmare for those who have never been to the desert country.

The hot wind and sand roared like a monster in the ears of the warriors, the sand and gravel were whipped on the faces like whips, the armor and shields of the warriors made a loud noise of frying broad beans under the whipping of the gravel, and some warriors who were not tied tightly on their feet were drilled into their shoes by the gravel, and they could not walk more than ten miles before they were blistered.

The scorching sun, loess, sandstorms, this is the truest portrayal of the desert country.

"This hot hell weather!" roared the little prince Simba on horseback.

As one of the three commanders of the expeditionary force, the little prince specially prepared more than a dozen ice silk handkerchiefs to clean his body and wipe his sweat in order to prevent the bad weather in the desert.

However, now these ice silk handkerchiefs have all turned into dirty rags, which can be used directly to smash people after freezing overnight. Not only that, but the handsome little prince also found that the fluff on his body had been covered with a layer of salt at some point, and he couldn't shake it off, so he could only wash it again and again with precious water.

The status of clear water in the desert is a hundred times more valuable than gold, and the little prince, no matter how extravagant he is, cannot withstand this consumption, so he has to grit his teeth and stop wasting clear water—because this layer of salt seems to be refreshed every day.

"It's so cool!" Anna cried out comfortably as she reclined in the back seat of the jeep.

As soon as it entered the frontier of the desert country, the jeep was covered with a thick roof, and the four corners of the roof were loaded with a native product from the Temudar Snow Mountain, a thousand-year-old ice bead.

This ice bead that freezes to death perfectly plays its function in the desert area, just like an air conditioner that keeps spitting out cold air, and the temperature inside the entire carriage will not exceed 24 degrees at all, and you have to put on a cotton jacket after a long time.

No matter how big the little prince's brain is, he would never have imagined that there are still people in the desert area who are frozen in broad daylight and have to wear padded jackets.

Not only does the jeep have a thousand years of ice beads in it, but each Bright Warrior is equipped with a pendant made of ice bead fragments to ensure that they can ignore the high temperature of the desert area, which can be described as quite humane.

With the exception of ice bead shards, each Warrior or Scout wears a black mask on his head, which is breathable and only shows two eyes, which can effectively protect the soldier's cheeks from heat burns and against the wind and sand.

However, once the mask was worn on a Spartan Bearman or Panda Ranger, the taste changed, and Anna claimed that if Herbert was given a guillotine and machete by his side, he would be almost indistinguishable from an executioner.

However, the current little prince is not just facing the problem of "heat".

The quartermaster's words during his report sent chills down the little prince's spine.

"Your Highness, our supply of water is about to run out..."

"What did you say?" the little prince turned his head suddenly, and two sharp eyes stared fiercely into the eyes of the quartermaster, who instinctively did not dare to make eye contact with the little prince.

"It's gotta... Ask you..."The quartermaster simply answered the little prince's question with his eyes closed.

The little prince was stunned, and he suddenly looked at the sparse "miscellaneous army" behind him.

In fact, shortly after entering the desert area, the chief of the guard, Brad, reported to him about the problem of cleaning up the water - those ragtag troops did not know how to save water.

The royal guards are all warriors of the Rhine lion clan, they are a symbol of the majesty of the royal family, and it also means that they all have strict self-discipline in their fighting qualities, stipulating that they can take as much water as they take every day, they demand themselves with high standards, and even can do only a little, this kind of tough and resolute obedience to orders of warriors is definitely what every commander dreams of.

In stark contrast to the royal guards, the profligacy of the motley army.

These guys, who have almost no fighting qualities and sticking to their creeds, will pour water as long as they feel thirsty, and they don't care if they have water to drink tomorrow, even if they have issued water control regulations above, they still go their own way.

Later, there were even bad incidents of stealing water bottles in the team, and several unlucky people were killed with military canes on the spot. The royal guards who carried out the cane were in distress, because enforcing the military regulations would further waste their physical strength and require more water to replenish them.

However, the little prince still underestimated the desire that people burst out in the face of pain, and the thirst that burned his throat was beyond words, especially when not far from these guys was a water storage cart, and the sound of water splashing in the tin can was like a demonic temptation, if it weren't for the royal guards, they would have rushed up to grab the water.

The little prince couldn't watch these ragtag armies die of thirst in the desert, they had to die on the way to the charge, so he made a very wrong decision.

Open the can and drain the water.

The little prince, the rookie commander, didn't realize that there were only zero and countless times when there were no exceptions to military regulations.

Since then, the little prince has been forced to open the pot and release the water twice, hoping that the mud will know how to save precious water resources, and then issue regulations again.

However, reality once again deviated from his expectations, and the ragtag army quickly ran out of water, staring at the rutted water storage truck like hungry wolves.

The people above change their orders day and night, and the binding force on the below can be imagined.

These motley armies may be overwhelmed by their combat strength and willpower, but their incitement is a sharp knife, and many people began to threaten the little prince not to advance anymore, to blackmail the little prince to open up the supply of clear water to them, and they were sure that the little prince needed them in the battle of the expedition, and it was impossible to abandon them halfway.

Deliberately abandoning or killing a soldier in war, no matter how noble and detached the commander's status, will inevitably be brought before a court-martial.

The quartermaster told the little prince that if the cans were opened again to release water, the reserves of water for the entire army would not be enough to support them to reach the meeting point.

The little prince, sitting on horseback, almost gritted his teeth, hated the bad decisions he had made, which had now put the entire march in a desperate situation.

The order given by the Council of the Kingdom to the three expeditionary forces was unquestionable, requiring them to arrive at the meeting point in the northeast within thirty days, where they would join the armies of Iron Hills and Elven Mansion. Who can afford to delay the consequence of the Combine Legion's inability to operate according to the plan?

The little prince's heart was dripping with blood, and if he delayed the military plane, his brother's ridicule, his father's disappointment, and the ridicule from the military department and nobles would be light, then he would definitely be sent to a court-martial, and then he would apologize for his crimes.

This was by no means the purpose of his initiative to apply for this expedition!

The gilded journey turned into a nightmare journey, which the little prince who had never been in charge of the army could not have expected, and the huge contrast made a nobleman like him who was proficient in the city government on the verge of collapse for a while, his anxious eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was distorted.

He hated the sentence he had seen in the art of war book before, Ci was not in charge of the army, he thought that it was not necessary, and now looking back, he was really stupid and ridiculous.

People cannot be killed, and water cannot be released. What the hell is he going to do?

"Your Highness... Perhaps we could consider seeking the help of Bright Field. Seeing the signs that the little prince was angry, the quartermaster hurriedly suggested.

"Bright Field?" the little prince suddenly calmed down for a moment, and he remembered something strange.

The marching party of Guangguang Ye was too energetic to go ahead of them, claiming to overcome obstacles for His Royal Highness, and Simba went with them.

He noticed that Bright Field's troops never seemed to be short of water from beginning to end.

The water in the water storage truck escorted by the royal guards was 2,000 people from Guangmingye, but they never sent anyone to fetch water and supplies.

However, according to the spies, the Bright Warriors drank water like a cow, and the cow drank more than that, and by the way, they also washed their faces and poured their heads, as if they didn't care about water.

The little prince remembered that there was a force called Sparta in Guangmingye, and the physique of those muscular hunks was several laps stronger than that of the Rhine Lion Clan.

As soon as he thought of this, where could the little prince still sit still, he immediately sent a henchman and asked him to use the night to figure out where so much water came from in Guangmingye!

When night fell, the little prince waited in the camp tent for his henchmen to come back and report to him, but the wait lasted until the middle of the night, when he could not sit still and was about to go to Chu Xue to ask for clarification in person, there was an uproar outside the camp, and he immediately rushed out.

Outside the tent, two Spartan bears threw a sack on the ground, the sack twisted a few times, apparently there were people inside, and the guards hurriedly loosened the sack, inside was the henchman of the little prince who had gone out to inquire about the news.

This henchman, with a blue nose and swollen face, has obviously been taught a hard lesson.

The two Spartan bears did not stop, dropped the sack and turned away.

The little prince is dumb and can't say whether he suffers from eating Coptis chinensis, after all, he is at fault, so he had to ask his henchman with a gloomy face: "How did you achieve this virtue?"

"I found an opportunity to sneak into their camp. The henchman cried while holding the panda eyes that were punched out by the bear man: "Their camp is densely populated, and I can't find a chance to move, so I found the nearest camp tent to go in and have a look... As a result..."

"What's the result?" If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, the little prince really wanted to kick him, what would be the point, and the burning eyebrows would still hang his appetite?

"As soon as I stepped into the tent, I was caught, and they beat me and said that I was a coward, and I dared to peek at the sacrificial adults taking a bath, and it didn't matter if I was killed directly. ”

"Wash... Bathing?" The little prince's voice was like a duckling pinched in his throat.

He knew he had to do something.

The next day, the Bright Field Force announced that they had taken over the empty water storage truck.

The Royal Guards and the Legion of Dawn numbered in the thousands, lined up in front of a tent under the command of the Spartan Bears and the Panda Rangers, and when Herbert lifted the curtain, there were exclamations of exclamation.

What caught their eyes was a large iron bucket filled with water, and the weight of the iron tong filled with water was so heavy that some of the Rhine Lion guards who helped were blushing when they moved it.

"You can only take ten litres of water per person, and whoever dares to scoop an extra drop of water, we don't mind giving him a loose bone and a beating on his back. Herbert grinned and gave way of his seat.

The icy water crashed into the bucket, and no orc could resist the temptation to dehydrate from the heat and pounce on the bucket.

Everyone stuffed the kettle into the iron bucket, their kettle is standard, the specification is just ten liters, many people after filling the kettle to see the splash splashing, they can't help but kneel in the yellow sand and lick, refusing to let go of even a drop of splash.

There are those who obey the rules, and there are naturally those who do not obey the rules, and many local chickens and dogs want to take advantage of the chaos to fill more water, but the Spartan bears will not condone these goods, they will sneak out all the black sheep like bean sprouts, throw them into the yellow sand pile in the distance like garbage, and declare them disqualified from taking water today.

If this kind of goods were placed in Guangmingye, they would have been beheaded directly according to military regulations, but after all, this was the little prince's subordinates, and they didn't bother to do it.

The status of the sacrifice is quite high in the army, especially this sacrifice is also the daughter of the famous Dante chief priest, the little prince is very clever to lower his posture and plead guilty to Anna, after which he finally learned the origin of the clear water resources of the bright field.

It turned out that when Guangmingye knew that he was going to go on an expedition to the desert country, he prepared a large amount of clear water resources in advance. But if this clear water is really to be loaded and transported, I'm afraid ten water storage trucks will not be enough, so they came up with a way.

After the water is magically compressed, it is stored in the Spatial Ring.

Like this clear water, there are still a lot of them in Emilia's space ring.

The little prince has only seen such high-end magic equipment as a space ring from the classics, and there is not a space ring in the entire orc kingdom, the little prince is called an envy and jealousy, and he thinks where Chang Hao's good luck comes from, the best magic equipment and the money to give to his subordinates, why don't you give me a piece of talk about your heart?

The space ring is definitely no fun, but the little prince has harvested an ice bead from the Taimudar Snow Mountain, and with this ice bead, he finally doesn't have to suffer anymore.

The long yellow sand road can finally see the end in the day and night rush of the expeditionary force, the alliance of the iron hills, the elven mansion and the orc kingdom is stationed on a rich oasis, the oasis is full of people, they even use local materials to build a small palace with yellow sand, the round dome of the palace can be seen from a long distance.

Overhead, there was the sound of eagles spreading their wings in the air, it was the air scouts of the Eagle Clan, and seeing them meant that they were already in a safe range.
