"Over there...... And over there...... There are still people! they have many more!" shouted a caravan guard of archers beside him, looking left and right, nervously.

That's right, more "desert marauders" are beginning to emerge from behind the sand dunes not far away!

The word "emergence" is the perfect way to describe the current situation!

The enemies didn't seem to be rushing at the archers here - however, the archers didn't relax much.

Indeed, the situation has not improved, and it can even be said that it is more urgent!

The desert raiders who had been lying in ambush and riding horses began to divide into seven or eight groups, and rushed towards the caravan not far away from behind the various sand dunes!

There were about thirty or so "Desert Marauders" in each group—the total number of Desert Marauders was about two hundred and forty—which was almost four times the number of caravan guards!

One plunder, so many "desert raiders" - this is very likely, before that, there were already marauders who had inquired about the contents of this caravan - in other words, these "desert raiders" may have been here for a long time to deliberately run for the gold in these caravans!

Fighting against four times the number of "Desert Marauders" on your side, even if your caravan guards are well-trained, even if the opponent's combat skills are not good, it will be difficult for the caravan guards to defeat the opponent's large number of barbarians!

"Damn! this can't be beaten...... I can only retreat first!" the captain of the caravan escort, who was on the side of the archers, immediately made such a decision.

Faced with so many "desert marauders", the caravan guards of the archers in a team of thirty people had no choice but to retreat - after all, they were not soldiers, and their mission was to protect the caravan from plundering and Shanghai, not to completely eliminate these "desert marauders".

The captain of the caravan guard looked at the rear, and then reminded loudly: "Hurry, hurry, continue to cover, cover the caravan while retreating!"

Even if they retreat, the caravan guards must do their part to protect the caravan and its merchants.

The more than 240 enemies who had been chasing them from behind were still catching up, and the situation was very urgent.

However, for the unknown crisis that is quietly approaching, such an emergency is only an ordinary danger.

......

The caravan escort continued to flee with the caravan.

"Captain...... We might be safer!" said an archer-caravan guard, pointing as he galloped his horse—a hint of hope in his tone.

It's strange, it stands to reason that so many "desert marauders" will not have any difficulty attacking these caravans - these "hungry wolves" will naturally not give up easily, these fat meat that is about to bite.

The leader of the caravan guard, Desert Wasteland Blade, looked in the direction the archer was pointing, with some confusion.

It turned out to be a sandstorm!

Yes!

On one side of the desert, a tsunami-like gray-brown smoke and dust is pouring towards this side!

In normal times, when a caravan encounters such a sandstorm, it will naturally treat it as a trouble - but in this case, such a sandstorm happens to be a powerful weather to cover your retreat!

......

"Alright, it's a little safer here for now......" The tension in the caravan captain's tone was slightly reduced.

The caravan guards, as well as the merchants, were safely evacuated to some of the rocks in the desert with the help of a sandstorm.

Then he reminded the caravan guards around him, "However, they may come here if they know that we have gold!

With the help of these stones, as a cover to deploy defense, it is naturally better than no cover at all, and it is better than nothing.

"They're coming!" shouted one of the caravan guards.

"Sure enough!" the caravan captain nodded, "Everyone!

In a whooshing sound, the arrows flew in this direction, and then, in a chaotic sound, struck the stones.

The caravan guards of their own side continued to shoot arrows at each other in the gaps between the stones.

The long-range attacks on both sides continued for a long time.

"Captain!" suddenly a caravan guard ran nervously, "We'...... I'm running out of arrows!"

After the opponent has made a certain long-range attack, they will directly surround them.

Once your arrows are exhausted, you will lose the means to fight back from a distance, and you will lose the means to stop the opponent from advancing.

Next, you have to fight in close combat - the opponent's "Desert Marauders" are four times the number of your own - and it is very difficult and risky to fight against enemies four times your own.

The caravan guards, and their enemies, were unaware of it, and soon this risk would be replaced by another unprecedented crisis that no one knew about yet!
