"Now we are their opponents, either killing them all or driving them back to the desert completely …"
Surdak led the team to the third desert oasis to hide here for the winter. The group of desert robbers had received the news that all the supplies in the oasis had swept away and left them with almost no supplies. The camp in the oasis was in a mess.
In fact, Surdak has no need for these robbers except horses. The robbers destroyed all the building facilities that could not be taken away.
Surdak’s face was gloomy, but he had just arrived at the third oasis and his whereabouts in the desert had been exposed to the eyes of desert robbers.
Surdak has enough fire gathering and fire gathering scrolls, so he doesn’t need to get fuel from the oasis, nor does he need water, grain and grass. He has enough food, enough horses and enough materials. It can be said that he is a mobile camp in the desert, and he can even build his habitat outside the oasis.
Although there was no desert robber, Surdak still cut down the trees in the oasis this time, and then burned sand on the spot to fill the low-lying pool.
There may be a new pool here in 2008, but this oasis is dry for a short time.
Thick smoke rose into the sky and formed a column of smoke.
……
I want Huwan Oasis to spend a long winter quietly. The bandit group is hiding in a big sand dune 20 miles away, watching the smoke coming from Huwan Oasis from a distance. Many young people in the bandit group are sad.
Due to the lack of transportation capacity of the bandit group, there are still some forage left in Huwan Oasis. Now it seems that it should have been set on fire by the deserted people.
Although some materials have been brought out this time, it is far from enough for so many horses and camels to rely on temporary forage for the whole long winter. If there is not enough forage, some animals will be sacrificed.
This is a barren desert, and there is almost no other way to find enough forage than to rob his bandit group.
The bandit leader Cumberland took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself not to look at the smoke column.
Several cronies saw this scene behind him and knew that there was a fire burning in Huwan Oasis. Once the vegetation around the oasis was destroyed, it would soon be swallowed up by the sand sea. When the sand thief saw that one of his most dependent campsites was destroyed, he could no longer resist his anger. The sand dunes swore at the smoke column in the distance
"Why don’t we kill the leader now and go back? I’m bound to make them pay the price of blood," a confidant said to Cumberland, whose beard is gray
Cumberland stretched out his hand and stroked his gray hair and shook his head to deny the decision.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is enough to say that they will kill the people in Sweet Water Oasis. They are powerful enough. Even if we can win hard, our strength will probably be damaged. I don’t want me to see how many people are hurt."
"Chief, we are not afraid of death!" Around the sand thieves also some indignation shouted
Cumberland’s eyes flashed across the face of every robber on the hill, and then he said slowly, "Of course I know that you are a group of brave soldiers. I’ve been thinking about what we are best at, or surprise attack. Now we can paralyze them. We won’t be home to our sand thieves in Huwan until night, and then we’ll sneak back and kill them by surprise!"
The robbers said they were going to kill them now and shouted, "Chief, order me. I can’t wait to eat their flesh and blood raw."
A fierce look in Cumberland’s eyes immediately silenced the robbers around him, and the shouts around him immediately fell silent. Cumberland said, "Now let’s rest until midnight for pre-war dinner and then we’ll go back!"
……
Surdak sat in a tent and called them up again.
His parchment map has drawn three red crosses on the desert location, but everyone is extremely short of information in the desert. I don’t know where his desert oasis is hidden. It is urgent to send some reconnaissance rangers around to find those desert oases.
However, this oasis robber slipped away before, which made everyone feel a little gloomy. These robbers are not expected to leave easily, and they may be killed again at some time.
Surdak pointed the map to a circle on the map and ordered Gabriel, the sea giant mercenary group, "We will expand the scope of investigation. I want to destroy more desert oases. My purpose is to turn this place into death."
There is no reason why Colonel Gabriel refused to make a reasonable request to the employer, so he readily agreed to come. Of course, this is also the daily life of the mercenary group, but this time the scope is larger
Surdak turned to Andrew and said, "It’s best to pry the mouths of those desert robbers and ask them how many desert oases there are in this hundreds of miles."
"It’s the best thing for me and Gullit to do!" Andrew answered quickly and then added, "Gullit must have a way!"
Surdak nodded and looked at Viru and said to everyone, "Everyone has been alert recently, and God knows when they will run out from behind the sand dunes."
"Our whereabouts have been discovered by desert robbers, and it is estimated that our actions will be exposed to the surveillance of robbers," said Colonel Gabriel with anxiety
Sitting there, Andrew said gloomily, "I really expect them to organize a strong team to have another decent war. This kind of dog-chasing-rabbit battle won’t raise our strength much!"
Viru sat in the tent near the door. At this moment, he pointed the tent felt curtain to the northwest and said to all the people in the tent, "The robbers didn’t go far here, so they hid in a sand dune in the northwest. They are now temporarily stationed instead of rushing away …"
"My horse will send someone to investigate one!" Colonel Gabriel said.
Then he will greet the mercenaries waiting outside the tent.
Surdak hurriedly waved and said, "Wait and scare them away. They chose to camp at this time. It is estimated that they still want to show their counterattack to us. Now I hope they can act earlier."
"Can you estimate their number?" Surdak continued to ask Viru
Veru replied, "Not less than two hundred people …"
Chapter 664 Sand thief
Flying snowflakes at night is like flying all over the sky. It hurts like a knife when a blade falls on your face.
In Cumberland’s snowstorm, I looked up at the snow with my hands open, and I couldn’t see anything. Snowflakes were falling from the desert at night, and there was little rain and snow all year round. I didn’t expect that there was such a heavy snow before the army came out of that barren field.
Cumberland is a little depressed at the moment. Seeing that those people have destroyed his home, he wants to roar angrily against the north wind like a wind wolf in the desert. At this snowy night, his heart is full of hatred, but his eyes are not covered by hatred. When he left Huwan Oasis with almost all his belongings, he sent fast horses to the surrounding area. He stationed robbers in Oasis for help.
Although the robbers on this side of the desert are not a whole, they are like scattered sand distributed all over the desert, but when facing the common enemy, they can still get together to form a fist and attack the same place
Cumberland desert has been criss-crossing for decades. Although he has not developed his bandit group into one of the biggest forces in the desert, he has a good reputation in this area and has some contacts with the surrounding bandit groups. At this time, he sent people to lobby them that Hailansa City, which is located on the other side of the barren land, finally realized them and sent troops to clear up the robbers here, so they will not sit still.
When the snow hangs, he must drop his fur cloak to make him look like a snowman.
A cavalry team appeared in the sand dunes in the distance. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the knights who were still advancing steadily in the snow and saw their machetes around their waist. Cumberland knew that he had increased his chances of winning the midnight battle tonight by another point.
More than one cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and his somewhat silent heart immediately became surging again.
If there was a 50-50 chance of winning, then when he saw these snowy nights, the robbers felt that the chance of winning rose to 10.
A hand-in-hand man came from behind and reported excitedly to Cumberland, "All the oasis leaders near Cumberland leaders have arrived. It is said that they have also heard about this deserted army these days."
"Invite them to my tent. I’ll be right there."
Cumberland knew that he must be full of energy to meet the coming meeting. He squatted down and held some snow in the sand with his hands. The snow rubbed his hands and face to make his body less hard. He needed to give himself confidence in winning. He needed to win in his heart and infect others around him.
He is almost fifty years old.
