Lord of Hyranza

Under the orders of Captain Gabriel, the members of the mercenary group performed their duties, almost setting up tents, lighting fires, cooking, and feeding horses at the same time. These mercenaries had a clear division of labor and were very organized in their work. The mercenary group only needs to build five tents, and they are distributed in a five-pointed star.

Although the veterans of the cavalry battalion had average riding skills, they had rich experience in setting up tents and raising campfires. They also set up camps according to squads, and each squad had its own tent.

As for those reserve knights from the Knight Academy, after the very failed exercise last night, they finally learned to be smart tonight. Although they lack experience, they are not stupid. They also set up the tent in a decent manner, and the three local guides also ran over to help point out some of their deficiencies on the spot.

Someone was suffering from the cold last night, and at this time they put down their arrogant faces. Although they still wouldn't say a word of thanks, at least they wouldn't be ashamed of the guide's guidance.

Suldak stayed in the tent for a quarter of an hour before walking out again.

This time he almost went directly to the horses, and the mercenary group had already started to feed the horses with water. Suldak took two quick steps, smiled at the mercenary, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't come too late." Night……"

As he said that, Suldak pulled out a large bundle of wild hair vines from his magic pocket, and piled them up in front of the mercenary...

The young mercenary was also stunned. Who would have thought that the employer in front of him would extravagantly use a magic pouch to hold this kind of cheap grass, and this bundle of grass was very strong, although it was not as good as alfalfa, but It can also be regarded as the rattan plant that Gu Bolai Ma prefers to eat.

It's just that this kind of wild hairy vine is rare near the city of Hailansa. This kind of vine is almost found in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, and it is even more impossible to grow this kind of shade-loving vine in the barren land. This kind of vine can only be found in Pagolos. Mountains can only be found, but no one is willing to cross the mountains and go all the way to the sinister Pagros Mountains to harvest those livestock fodder.

Suldak put a large bundle of wild hairy vines in front of the mercenaries, then went straight to the two veterans of the cavalry battalion in charge of the horses, pulled out seven bundles of wild hairy vines from the magic pocket in front of them, and ordered them to take these The forage is crushed, mixed with some bean feed and then fed to the horses.

At the beginning of dinner, Gullitum held five pieces of wheat cakes and a large bowl of porridge cooked from marching rations, squatted next to the horses and poured a large bowl of food into his stomach, and then looked at those The camels gathered together were drooling, and the camels were so frightened that they huddled together and shivered.

After dinner, Suldak invited Captain Gabriel of the mercenary group, local guides, Andrew, and Viru into the tent, spread a map full of various symbols on the square table, and began to discuss tomorrow's route.

According to Suldak's estimate, the team will probably enter the edge of the desert at noon tomorrow and leave the barren land. The desert is a completely unfamiliar place. The robbers in the desert are used to hiding near the oasis in the desert. In order to clear the oasis first, a reliable plan needs to be determined in advance.

Captain Gabriel pointed to an unknown desert on the map, and said to Suldak: "I know that there is probably an oasis here, and there is a sweet pool there. If there is no accident, there may be robbers living there! "

Suerdak picked up a charcoal pencil, drew a big circle in that unknown area, and said to everyone: "Then this will be our first stop!"

Chapter 669 Oasis Battle

Taking advantage of the night, Suldak returned to the sulfur mine in Pustout Mountain. Before he had time to say a few words to Aphrodite who lived in the sulfur camp, he quickly got into the lava mine and ran to the treasure room to feed the dragon. ...

Finally, on the eve of dawn, Suril in the treasure chamber was appeased, and Suldak returned to the camp.

……

Before entering the desert full of yellow sand, some dilapidated villages appeared among the mountains along the way. The remaining wreckage made people realize how cruel those bandits are. They raided the barren land , devouring the living space of the barren land little by little, and now it has penetrated into the hinterland of the barren land, and the horseshoe has even set foot in the Great Rift Valley.

There is remnant snow everywhere, and the bones hidden under the snow occasionally show a corner, which makes this place look extremely desolate.

In the afternoon, Suldak said that the team led by him finally arrived at the edge of the desert. At this moment, the desert was also covered with a layer of hard snow shells. These snow shells were caused by the melting and condensation of the snow surface. The snow on the surface of the desert is like solid ice, but this layer of snow is not too thick. Whether it is a person or a war horse stepping on it, it will quickly collapse, and then step into the soft yellow sand and sink deeply.

After the war horses entered the desert, their speed slowed down. On the contrary, those camels that had been dragging their feet behind the team became more relaxed at this time. Each of those dromedary camels had four thick and large hooves. On the yellow sand, they didn't sink deeply, and their legs were long enough, so they walked very smoothly on the desert.

In order to reduce the burden on the horses, all the people dismounted, led the horses through the snow, and walked forward on the yellow sand.

Andrew and Suldak got together, pointed to the boundless yellow sand in front of them, wiped the snow scum from their beards with their hands, and said to Suldak distressedly: "Last time, Gullit and I Mu also entered the desert from here. At that time, the snow had not yet frozen. We originally followed a bandit group and prepared to nibble away at them. There are more camels than horses. When we entered the desert, we rode camels and led the horses to escape. Gulitum and I chased after them with all our strength, but we only chased and killed more than a dozen robbers, and let them get rid of them completely. The environment is too familiar, there is no way to catch up!"

"I'm not in the mood to play cat-and-mouse games with them this time. Now that I've formed a death feud, I don't intend to let any of them go. The law of survival in this desert is survival of the fittest..." Su Erdak pulled his ancient horse and said to Andrew beside him.

After walking into the desert, Suldak realized that he thought the environment here was a little too simple.

Now every time I take a step, I have to sink deep into the yellow sand below my knees. It takes several times the strength to take a step. In this environment, I will be out of breath even after taking a few more steps. Fighting looks like a big problem!

"If you can't catch up with them, then occupy this place bit by bit and sweep them out of here." Suldak said to Andrew.

Selena followed behind the two of them. She was sitting on the back of a camel with a thick fur cloak on her body. She was very quiet all the way and rarely spoke.

Gulitum was mixed in the team, his tall body was always looking around, he seemed a little impatient, he always walked around the three local guides restlessly, as if he had something to ask, but It was not easy to speak, and the three guides were frightened, thinking that Gulitum had some bad thoughts about them, and they were not very familiar with this place when they entered the desert, so it was useless at all, they didn't want to Three desserts to be an ogre.

Suldak saw that Gulitum was always walking around in the team, so he stopped him curiously and asked, "Gulitum, what are you looking for?"

"Wind wolf, I heard from the old hunter in the village that as soon as you enter the desert, you may be targeted by the wind wolf. Before they gather enough strength, they will probably not surround you, but will follow behind silently. , the moment they appear, it means that they are sure to eat us, in fact, I want to know whether they can keep up, if there are already a few behind us, I think the dinner should be changed!" Gulitum leaned next to Suldak and whispered.

"You are looking forward to the wind wolf!" Suldak finally understood that Gulitum might be hungry.

Gulitham said with some frustration: "But you see, we've been walking for so long, and we haven't even seen a single wolf!"

"You can ask Viru, he is the eagle eye I found, he has the 'Earth Vision', if there is a wind wolf, he must not be able to escape his eyes!" Suldak said to Gulitum.

When the ogre heard what Suldak said, his face beamed with joy, and he strode towards Viru, as if the yellow sand of the desert could not hinder his footsteps at all.

Viru stood on a large sand dune, observing the surroundings on the edge of the desert. Although Hawkeye's "Earth Vision" sounds mysterious, it is actually very similar to the "Shared Vision" of the Beastmaster Hunter. It is just the Beastmaster in the true sense of the Green Empire Hunters are basically extinct. At present, only the orc tribes on the Pai Plateau still have Beastmaster hunters.

Viru can let his vision be sent to the harpy eagle he raised, let it fly into the sky, and take the opportunity to check the conditions of the mountains, rivers, earth and rivers under his feet, but this kind of spiritual attachment can't last long, and he can't lie on the harpy eagle and fly too far, otherwise They couldn't see anything either. Viluda's sphere of influence happened to cover ten kilometers around. Although it wasn't too far away, it was enough for scouting the enemy's situation.

This time Suldak is also planning to draw a detailed map of the desert on the edge of the Badlands.

The ogre walked quickly up the big sand dune and squatted beside Viru. ​​The two seemed to have a conversation, but in just a few words, the ogre jumped high from the sand dune, cheered and jumped from the heights. Jumping down the high sand dunes, he didn't return to the team, but spread his pads and ran straight towards the northwest.

Captain Gabriel of the sea giant mercenary regiment was at the front of the team. Seeing the figure of the ogre rushing away, he frowned first, and then gave a few instructions to the deputy commander beside him. Si took a high-ranking ranger with one turn on the horse and ran towards the front of the team. The two horses seemed to be completely unaffected by the sand, and they ran fast on the yellow sand.

Captain Gabriel considers that his mercenary group receives high commissions every day, so he has to bear the heaviest responsibility in the team, the safety of the entire team, the detection of the whereabouts of the desert bandits, and the battle with the bandits in the desert. They all need their own mercenary group to play as the absolute main force.

He sent two rangers, including the deputy head, to investigate the surrounding situation, hoping to detect the enemy's situation in advance. The mercenaries must reflect their own value, at least to make the employer feel that the money they spend is worthwhile just work.

The team walked very slowly when they entered the desert. The fifty reserve knights finally felt how hard it is to march in an extremely harsh environment. When the team stopped, each of these reserve knights seemed to be exhausted. I can't wait to lie flat on the cold sand...

They were driven up by Suldak with a whip, and they couldn't save the fire, feed the horses, and set up tents.

Just as the reserve knights were complaining, the veterans had silently started a fire, and began to sit in front of the fire in turn, stretching out their feet, and roasting the icy slag that had condensed on the boots, making them who were about to lose Sensitive feet feel the temperature again, and there seems to be no tiredness on their faces. This kind of arduous march is far more difficult for them than going to Oak Ridge to dig cassava in winter.

You can even see these veterans get together and tell a few jokes. The most uncomfortable thing for them is riding a horse.

The veterans in the cavalry battalion were also studying. They secretly stared at the mercenaries in the mercenary regiment, and silently recorded all their actions along the way. Although some things were incomprehensible, they did not prevent them from recording them. .

Viru caught up from behind, and the ogre Gulitemdi also trotted back from the desert in the northwest.

Suldak saw the harvest tied around his waist from a distance.

That's right, he did meet a small group of wind wolves.

It's not a day or two since Gulitum misses the wind wolf meat. Of course, he won't let them escape when he sees the wind wolf. For an ogre who can face the third-level monsters head-on, these first-level monsters are basically It's not enough to watch, the bone-crushing stick in his hand hit the wolf's head, and immediately smashed the wind wolf's skull to pieces, and then he immediately thought that the headless wind wolf was what Suldak disliked the most, and immediately change tactics...

This time he brought back six wind wolves. Although these wolves were not enough for everyone in the team to have a tooth sacrifice, they could feed him as much as he wanted.

He was in a hurry to come back because he was going to let Suldak peel off the wolf's skin and try to get the most value from the wind wolf.

Since there was an ogre in the team, after the team entered the desert, the situation of being followed by a pack of wolves did not happen.

And this kind of sour wolf meat seems to satisfy the ogre even more. He spared no effort to run around, and his primitive hunting skills also made everyone admire him. Then drag the corpse back, the method is simple and direct.

I don't know if it was because it was too cold and the robbers were hiding, so they didn't encounter any bandits along the way.

At dusk on the third day of departure, Suerdak's team finally saw a small oasis in the sand sea, but this oasis was in a world of ice and snow, all the leaves of the trees were withered, and some silver rime hung on the branches. It's like a small world of ice and snow.

From a distance, you can see a wisp of blue smoke rising from the direction of the oasis, which means that there are people living in the desert oasis. Just looking at the faint blue smoke, you can know that there are not many desert robbers in this sweet water oasis.

Surdak didn't even need to identify the people who lived in the Sweetwater Oasis as bandits.

In this season, at this time, if it weren't for the bandits, it would be impossible for them to survive on the desert oasis.

Viru took back the 'Earth Vision' and said to Suldak: "It should be a large camp of desert bandits, with less than a hundred people."

The mercenaries of the sea giant mercenary group all showed joy, their eyes fell on Captain Gabriel, Gabriel nodded, and then whispered to the mercenaries: "Kill the old man directly, women and children don't count." Head count, you can kill if there is a threat, your main targets are those strong desert robbers, a piece of hardware, horses and camels belong to the employer, be careful, don’t kill them, be careful about deducting money!”

"Okay, boss!" The mercenaries responded excitedly.

Before starting the battle, Suldak set out a mission in a decent manner: "Captain Gabriel, you lead people to rush up from the front, the cavalry battalion wraps up from the left side, and the guard battalion knights go up from the right side..."

……

When the setting sun was about to sink into the yellow sand, a row of shadows appeared on the desolate desert, like a big open hand, they surrounded this sweet water oasis with an area of ​​less than one square kilometer.

There was no temptation at all. When the sound of rumbling horseshoes came, the war horse was only a few hundred meters away from Tianshui Oasis.

A group of desert robbers living in the sweet water oasis just had dinner, and just when they were about to get into the tent with the hot white sheep to spend the night, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from all directions like rolling thunder. These desert robbers immediately put on their hard leather armor, scrambled to get out of the tent, picked up the weapons in their hands, and mounted their horses one after another.

Seeing a row of knights rushing forward, knowing that the only way to escape at this time is to be slaughtered in the desert, he gritted his teeth, screamed strangely, and waved the scimitar in his hand to face the front, trying to cut through the front , Seek a chance.

But before they rushed up, a row of arrows shot over, and the desert robbers who rushed to the front were shot down one after another.

Commander Gabriel and the other seven high-ranking fighters in the mercenary group formed a front arrow formation, and the eight rushed to the front. Just before they collided with the desert robbers, a huge mountain suddenly appeared behind Captain Gabriel In an instant, the mountain turned into a wall of earth, blocking the bodies of the eight high-ranking warriors. The desert robbers were not in a hurry, and their scimitars slashed at the wall.

"kill……"

Captain Gabriel let out a roar from his throat, and the spear in his hand was like a spirit snake spitting out a letter. Suddenly, a burst of gun light erupted from Gabriel's hand. He picked up the shield, but the gun light hit the shield like a torrential rain, the impact sounded repeatedly, and the shield in the robber's hand sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The robber's arm was numb from the shock, and finally he couldn't hold the shield. Captain Gabriel took advantage of the situation and shot the robber in front of him.

The bandits behind rushed up, wanting to take the opportunity to chop off Captain Gabriel, the mercenaries behind Captain Gabriel quickly blocked the blow for him, Captain Gabriel drew back the long sword, and handed out the spear with his backhand, piercing through the hole one after another. the throat of a robber.

Several high-ranking mercenaries with superior strength from the sea giant mercenary group instantly opened a gap in front of the bandits, and thirty well-trained mercenaries strangled the bandits together.

Chapter 670 Profiteering Industry

Night is coming, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like a burning and transpiring flame on the edge of the desert.

The desert robbers rushing forward seemed to be hitting a wall, and the sea giant mercenaries led by Captain Gabriel rushed to pieces from the front, and the reserve knights of the guard battalion rushed over from the left flank and entered the battlefield a little slower , the front of the oasis has become a mess.

Andrew led the veterans of the cavalry battalion to outflank from the right flank. Their riding skills were average, so they held their shields and spears and lined up to fight on foot. The queue of 200 people seemed to form a human wall at dusk, with a strong sense of oppression. The robbers subconsciously didn't want to break out from that direction.

At this moment, in the depths of the bandit camp in Tianshui Oasis, a bandit leader riding a white camel rushed out with a group of bandits. The bandits around him were also very tough thugs. They wore all kinds of leather armor, and they didn't choose to break through from the front.

The bandit leader went around in a circle and wanted to open his mouth from the right side, but just as they turned their horses, the veterans of the cavalry battalion raised their spears one after another. When they wanted to charge this way, the veterans did not hesitate Throwing the spear in his hand out.

Throwing spears is several times more powerful than bows and arrows.

The bandit leader looked at the rain of spears falling from above his head, and turned around and ran with the bandits around him. He knew that if he was covered by the rain of spears, the light shield in his hand would not be able to stop the flying spears. Superb, the immediate turn around is done almost instantly.

Even so, some robbers who reacted slowly were pierced by flying spears, men and horses, from top to bottom, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.

Suldak came up from the left flank with fifty reserve knights. The reserve knights were wearing dark full-face armor, and the knight spears in their hands were standard weapons in the guard battalion. Fifty knights lined up in a line, like It's a wall of steel.

These college graduates had only gone out to experience a few times before, and it was the first time in their lives to participate in this kind of melee. With the sound of killing, the fear in their bodies was almost quickly dissipated by the blood in their bodies. Accompanied by the sound of killing, they followed Su Erdak rushed up behind him, not even knowing how to raise his shield to block.

However, due to their excellent equipment, their faces were covered behind their visors. At dusk, these robbers didn't even see that they were a group of yellow-billed fledglings. He was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to resist, so he desperately followed behind the bandit leader's white camel, trying to break out of the encirclement.

The other women and slaves in the Tianshui Oasis were so frightened that they all went into the tents in the oasis and dared not get out.

Just when the bandit leader hesitated a little, not knowing which direction he should go to break through, two mercenaries rushed up, but were stopped by the confidant behind the bandit leader. The long swords in the hands of the two mercenaries were cut off, and the scimitar in the leader's hand was cut forward again. A deep wound was cut on the chest of one mercenary, and the other mercenary took a big step back sideways. escaped.

It was just that when he retreated, he was kicked down by the robber on the side, and he was about to be hacked to death by the random blade. Behind him, a phantom of a knight holding a sword and shield appeared, and the phantom became frozen amidst his angry shouts In an instant, a pale golden shield stood in front of his body, blocking the scimitars that came down one after another.

The mercenary took the opportunity to roll around on the sand, avoiding the bandits' chaotic blades, but because he and another companion rushed too far forward, they were still surrounded by the bandits.

At this time, the mercenary group that came up from the front had already cut down more than 20 robbers. Captain Gabriel saw that the bandit leader was gathering the remaining robbers, quickly forming a resistance force, and saw that some mercenaries were struggling. Not daring to neglect at all, he rushed towards the bandit leader with the strongest subordinates in the mercenary group.

Before Captain Gabriel rushed over on his horse, he saw a big man jumping into the side of the two mercenaries surrounded by bandits like a god. He was wearing simple armor and was holding a broken bone in one hand. The big stick, with a round swing, broke the two robbers at the waist, and forced a dozen or so robbers to retreat.

The iron fist clenched by the other hand slammed into the head of a war horse that was bumping into it head-on. There was a muffled sound of cracking melons.

Immediately, the ogre Gulitam let out a violent roar in the crowd.

The battle howl of the ogre frightened the four hooves of the surrounding horses, and they refused to charge towards the ogre no matter what.

Behind the bandit leader riding a white camel was a phantom of a wind wolf, bearing the brunt of attacking Gulitum. Under his leadership, the rest of the bandits had the courage to fight back.

Just as he rushed forward a few steps, a sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.

The bandit leader seemed to be suffocated in his chest. He was terrified and forced his body back, flat against the back of the white camel, and three sharp arrows came quietly and silently among the chaotic crowd, sticking to him. The cheeks flew away without a trace.

The bandit leader's heart went cold in an instant, knowing that he was being watched from a distance by a marksman, he even wished he could turn into a groundhog and hide himself in the sand.

At this time, Weilu, who was standing 50 meters away, was also stunned, and the phantom of the sharp arrow slowly disappeared from behind. Unexpectedly, the sure-kill arrow was narrowly dodged by the bandit leader.

He saw a veteran of the cavalry battalion was knocked to the ground by the bandit with a scimitar. He raised his hand and drew his bow to shoot an arrow. The arrow could hardly see any flight path in the dark dusk, and it pierced through the bandit's back The point of the arrow protruded from the forehead between the brows, the robber's body was frozen at the moment when he raised the scimitar, his body was driven forward by the inertia of the arrow two steps forward, and there was a kind of pre-death look in his rounded eyes. In despair, he fell to the ground.

Andrew on the battlefield was like a lunatic. He was wearing Suldak's 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure. Behind him appeared a pair of eyes full of killing and blood. He ignored the weapons swung by the robbers around him. Andrew's body was scratched several times, but each scar represents a robber's fresh life being forcibly deprived by his butcher.

The 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure belongs to heavy armor, and each piece of armor is mixed with some hard magic black iron. It is difficult for the machetes of the bandits to cause substantial damage to the armor on Andrew's body. Even the 'earth shield' on the magic pattern structure was not activated.

The veterans of the cavalry battalion only need to follow Andrew to make up the knife.

A 'halo of power' emerged from Suldak's body, and the reserve knights following him all felt an inexplicable power surging in their bodies.

The bandit leader sat up straight and didn't dare to chase the two mercenaries any more. Seeing Suldak rushing up from the left, followed by a group of guard battalion knights in standard armor, he didn't dare to confront Suldak. Touch, seeing the soldiers surrounded from all directions, he called a group of men to retreat towards the sweet water oasis behind him.

How could Captain Gabriel let them get into the rime-covered poplar forest? Members of the mercenary group rode on horseback, showing off their 'potential' one after another, and instantly gained an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. The robber was cut down to the ground.

The ogre Gulitam and Captain Gabriel caught up with the bandit leader almost at the same time. Commander Gabriel pierced the bandit leader's back with a spear in his hand. The bandit leader couldn't dodge while riding on the white camel, and rolled to the side , and jumped off the hunchback.

Gabriel's regiment also jumped down from his horse, and instantly fought with the bandit leader.

The subordinates following the bandit leader were about to rush up to help, but they were entangled by the mercenaries chasing up from behind.

The mercenaries were obviously stronger than these bandits, but there were so many bandits that it was hard to tell the winner in the melee.

Gulitmu reached out and grabbed the white camel's reins, dragged it to the ground, put his legs on the white camel's body, wrapped his hands around the white camel's four hooves, and skillfully took out a hemp rope to hold the camel. The white camel was tied up firmly, and then a small flag was planted next to Shake off...

"Gulitham, what are you doing?" Andrew shouted angrily at the ogre not far away.

Andrew on the battlefield was like a powder keg, and the ogre didn't dare to provoke him, so he quickly got up from the ground, swung the bone-crushing stick in his hand, and knocked a robber who was just about to slip past him. After smashing his head, he smiled naively: "I'm marking my loot!"
