Because there was a possible sand worm colony nearby, the convoy began to leave the next morning as soon as it was repaired.

Riding on his horse, Locke curiously rummaged through the back shell of a sand bug.

"What's the use of the magicians asking for this?" he felt that the sand bug's carapace had no other features than that it was unusually hard.

Knocked it with his finger, making a dull sound of "dong dong", this carapace is lighter than steel, but hard enough to be comparable to steel, if it can be made into armor, this is Locke's idea.

His bright yellow armor was also sprayed in a small area by the acid of the sand cockroach in the battle last night, and this armor of excellent texture was worthy of the fact that Locke had spent a large amount of money on military merits, and it was only corroded by a thin layer.

With some oil and good maintenance, it is a ninety percent new piece of armor.

The direction of progress was due north, and according to the map, there was an oasis of no small area two days away from them.

In addition to being able to replenish enough water, they will also meet the people of the Kingdom of Ritusen for the first time.

"It was an outpost built by the Kingdom of Zituson in the desert. Adjutant Bender has done a lot of work, and it is clear that "there will probably be a squadron of Japanese Tucson garrisons and a small village of three hundred people." ”

As a convoy of envoys, Locke and they don't have to worry about the difficulties from the Kingdom of Rituson, the documents approved by the king himself and the pass given by the O'Moore Empire will make their journey unimpeded.

In fact, along the way from Faustin to the O'Moore Empire, they had to worry more about attacks by bandits and other creatures than the regular armies of the countries they passed through.

There are many countries, and the bandits and bandits in the country are not as petty as in the Kingdom of Forstein, and the strong militaristic colors and fierce folk customs of the Kingdom of Forstein make it difficult for large-scale thieves to develop.

It's different in other countries, taking the current Kingdom of Ritusen as an example, the sand thieves in their country are the sand thieves who dare to face the existence of a tough army, and they often count thousands of people, and it is difficult for Locke to imagine how the royal family of the Kingdom of Ritusen can tolerate it.

Perhaps the sand cockroach attack was too impressive that night, and the convoy moved a little faster than before, and two days later at noon, the envoys arrived at the oasis called Mochamo, which means new land in the desert language.

Whether Mochamo really represents a new student, Locke doesn't know, what he knows is that he can finally take a good bath, not only him, but the entire team, there are not a few people who have this idea.

Two documents from King Faustin and the O'Moore Empire gave the Yerisan knights stationed in Mokamo a warm welcome and a grand reception to the legations.

The squadron leader of the Ritusen Kingdom, whose strength is in the middle rank, should have received the news from the upper echelons a long time ago, whether it was food or accommodation, he had prepared quite well for the envoys.

At one time, after delivering two hundred silver Deleux to Captain Jerissan, the team was given two days of replenishment and repair.

After taking a cold shower in the sheepskin tent, Locke had the opportunity to observe the lives of the common people of Zhitusen up close.

Most of the men in the kingdom of Ritusen have a swarthy face, thin limbs and a long sword hanging from their waists, giving people a sense of nondescriptry.

Most of the women of the kingdom of Zhitusen were fair-skinned, with chestnut hair wrapped under a white veil, and a bunch of bells were always tied to their wrists, according to them, to drive the sheep.

Mochamo mainly made a living by transporting supplies and receiving travelers, and from the local people's accounts, Locke learned that there was originally a corps of cavalry stationed in the extreme west of the Zhitusen Desert, on the border between the Zhitusen Kingdom and the neighboring Kot Kingdom.

And Mochamo is one of the base stations that deliver supplies to this cavalry regiment.

As for the visitors, the locals said that their delegation was the third group of tourists in their town in the past three years.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is the situation around Mochamo.

In the evening, the Knight of Jerisan organized the whole town to hold a grand welcome party for the envoys, and Locke was fascinated by the exotic ethnic customs.

Under the bonfire, the enthusiastic Japanese Tucson dancers, shaking Miaoman's waist, the bells they carried, in the cool breeze of the night, "jingle bells", eating roasted whole sheep, Locke felt warm for the first time after setting off from the kingdom of Faustin for so long.

The convoy stopped at the oasis of Mochamo for two days, the first welcome the delegation received almost a month in its mission, and the hospitality of the locals of Mochamo was often remembered by Locke for a long time afterward.

Hydrated and fed, the convoy set off again, this time with a few more camels.

Locke walked around the camel with two humps a few times, and was amazed, this was the first time he had seen a camel as a domestic animal.

There is also a Gobi in the kingdom of Faustin, and he has heard of camels, but he has never seen them, and rubbed the camel's hump, and the camel is greeted with an impatient snort.

Locke's hand has always been strong, and it must have hurt it just now.

Before the camel could raise its leg to teach the offending man a lesson, Locke's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he immediately sat down on the ground.

"It's scared of you!" Angelina said to Locke with a smile.

"Is this scared and weak?" Locke cried and laughed.

Carefully helping Angelina to sit in the middle of the two humps, Locke also sat up, "... The camel beneath him snorted and straightened up.

"This camel is very bold, but it has great strength. Locke said that he and Angelina were not light together, but the camel walked like a fly, and because he was good at walking in the sand, he was faster than a war horse.

These camels were purchased from the inhabitants of Mokamo, and the price of seventy silver deleks each was somewhat cheaper than that of war horses.

Of course, the currencies of the two countries are not the same, Dele is not in circulation in the kingdom of Ritusen, or the captain of the Yerisan squadron exchanged it on his behalf, he did not suffer a loss, after the attack on Charlotte, the value of Faustendler's currency rose sharply in the surrounding countries, at least ten percentage points higher than before.

These camels, instead of the work of many war horses in the team, have the advantage of hunger and thirst and great strength, so that the speed of the team in the desert has been greatly improved.

After leaving Mochamo, the envoys encountered several smaller oases.

It may be because he is about to get out of the desert, and there is a little less heat in the air and more moisture.

Tall on the horse, Locke looked into the distance, "What's next?"

"Frye Army Station, the northwestern frontier station of the Kingdom of Zhitusen. "Bender is a competent adjutant.

On the distant skyline, the endless Gobi Desert is gone, replaced by rolling hills, I don't know if it is an illusion, Locke felt the long-lost greenery from those hills.

By mid-October, the convoy of the legation had finally left the Zhitusen desert, and the night before bidding farewell to the desert, all the soldiers in the Frye army station had put down and eaten dry food for nearly a month.

A bite of hot and fresh food, the soldiers' demands were always simple.

In the military station, after greeting several officers of the Kingdom of Zitusson, politely declining the request of these dark-skinned people to have dinner with them, Locke returned to the convoy.

"Why don't you see the famous sand thieves in the desert?" asked Raffi during dinner, and Xia Qian, who was sitting next to Locke, also had a curious look.

They had also heard about the rampant sand thieves in the kingdom of Ritusen, especially in the desert, but it had been almost a month since they entered the desert, and the convoy had not been attacked except for the sand bug attack.

Locke's political wisdom is not high, and he is also curious, Grace next to him explained for Locke, "Those sand thieves can only bully and bully ordinary people, not to mention that we are the envoys to the Omore Empire, even the Faustan Kingdom behind them, they can't afford to provoke them." ”

Through Grace's explanation, Locke also knew that the kingdom of Ritusen could not solve the long-standing sand thieves, but the cost was too great, the desert in the west of their country was uninhabited, and they sent a large army to encircle and suppress the sand thieves, and the supply line alone would be very long, and it would also cause the sand thieves to retaliate frantically.

"These sand pirates, to some extent, also keep their western border safe. Grace continued, "If other countries invade the kingdom of Zhitusen, the first thing they will face is these jackals everywhere in the desert. ”

Perhaps among these sand thieves who are the troublemakers, there is a high-ranking figure of the Ritucson Kingdom?

Of course, these are not for Locke, an outsider, to consider.
