Volume 1 and Volume 6 - Doubts and fears coexist

[General Era 101033, Rotiri Hidden Sedili Civilization Year 3002, late November, autumn. The kingdom of Rotiri is in the middle of the desert far from the coast. Night. 】

Now, the Rotiri Sedilians are not in a hurry to act, and those friendly forces from the "Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance" are also planning the next operation.

For the "Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance", although they have a huge vehicle like a fortress, in the previous battles, with such a super giant vehicle, they have gained a lot of advantages on the battlefield.

However, the situation seems to have changed a little now - there is information that those enemies have built even larger super vehicles, and that vehicle, I heard, will not be long before it comes to the land of Rotiri.

Prior to the operation, the Rotiriñas were to conduct a series of reconnaissance operations to observe the enemy's movements and equipment.

Now, the "Desert Wasteland Blade" is leading more than 100 people to patrol the desert - these more than 100 people will be divided into four teams, three of which will go to the area closer to the enemy to observe, and the group of soldiers guarding the "Desert Wasteland Blade" will be on the hillside behind, observing.

The enemy's "fleet" was parked in the desert on the edge of the sand dunes in the distance—just stationed, stationed, perhaps, preparing for an attack.

Before the operation, the "Desert Wasteland Blade" also took care of the investigators many times to pay attention to safety, and recently launched some mysterious incidents, and now the situation is more complicated.

The "mysterious incident" mentioned by the "Desert Wasteland Blade" before the operation took place just three days ago.

Three days earlier, on a quiet evening, the patrolmen of Rotiri's Sedili had spotted some mysterious men, a small number, ten people, at a distance from the local vehicle.

Although the patrols of Rotiri's Sedili were far away from the ten "mystery men", they still found that the mysterious men were dressed very differently from the enemies of the Rotiriñas Sediri, or the allies from the "Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance"—they seemed to be wearing round, fully enclosed helmets, and because of this, they were mistaken by scouts for strange and terrifying humanoid beings.

No one knows what the mysterious people with helmets are here to do - if they are here to observe the enemy's "fleet" stationed here, it seems to be a little far away.

Now, the "Desert Wasteland Blade" and others, who are located in a hidden place on the hillside, are far away from the enemies stationed there, and they cannot see the movements of those enemies, but here, they can get a better view and see farther.

"Sir......" On the edge of the "Desert Wasteland Blade", a soldier with good eyes pointed to the desert in the distance and became vigilant.

Desert Wasteland Blade narrowed slightly, looking into the distance?......;

"That's right!"

"Another enemy fleet?!" Desert Wasteland Blade tensed a little - he knew that this would most likely mean that the enemy was about to hand over a completely new operation, and no one knew what the enemy's actions were.

"Desert Wasteland Blade" looked at the other "fleet" that was getting closer and closer in the distance—and then he looked at the three groups of his own scouts closer - compared to the enemy's movements, this was what he was more concerned about, these three groups of soldiers, all of whom were skilled scouts trained by "Desert Wasteland Blade" himself, and many of them were from the original caravan guards, that is, the companions of "Desert Wasteland Blade" in peacetime for many years.

These scouts, even if they lose a few people, this is a pity for the "Desert Wasteland Blade".

"They should have spotted the enemies approaching from afar!" the guards on the side said to the Desert Wasteland Blade.

The scouts below the hillside had begun to retreat quietly - before the operation, the "Desert Wasteland Blade" had already told all the scouts to retreat in time if they encountered danger.

Scouts are not able to convey information through horns or other obvious means in order to remain covert, so it is important to give front-line scouts a certain degree of autonomy.

The Desert Wasteland Blade had just calmed down when suddenly, a volley of artillery could be heard in the distance.

This sound startled everyone around here!

Immediately after, the shells lit up in the sand, and a burst of flashes exploded in succession.

"What's going on?!!How did they find out about us?" said one of the guards next to him, panicking.

"Wait...... Maybe that's not the case!" Desert Wasteland Blade continued to remain hidden, whispering to the people around him.

Although the "Desert Wasteland Blade" from the caravan escort was not very familiar with the various techniques of artillery and artillery bombardment, he knew that even if the enemy's artillery hit it too far, it would not hit there, so far away from the three teams of scouts on his front line.

Judging from the shell landing point just now, those fleets looked more like they were attacking the enemy's fleet that was originally stationed here.

Desert Wasteland Blade briefly and quickly shared his thoughts with the guards around him.

The Desert Wasteland Blade told the people around it, the Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance, and didn't mention an attack on the fleet.

He went on to add that there was no "Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance" logo on those vehicles - the logo on the giant vehicles, although it was not very clear at such a distance, but it was certain that it was certainly not the "Steam-Machinery Power Alliance" logo.

"Could it be the enemy mentioned by the Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance?" the Desert Wasteland Blade began to speculate.

"You mean ......"

"Those 'Steam-Mechanical Power Alliances' survive on their own land enemies...... They also came...... They're here to join their former enemies in seizing the opportunity to invade our land!" Desert Wasteland Blade added to his companions on the side.

The "Desert Wasteland Blade" looked at the three groups of operatives, who had safely retreated to the bottom of the hillside, and learned that the other party had not found his own scouts, and was not here to attack the Rotirito Sedili people, his nervousness eased slightly.

According to the Desert Wasteland Blade, he had no idea how the enemy knew about the fleet - the mysterious men didn't look like the enemy scouts described by the Steam-Mechanical Power Alliance.

Doubts and fears coexist in the night here......
