[End of the God Station] Remind book lovers to remember: the website website: www.xinwanben.com Remember for a second and never lose it!
Because there was a possible sand cricket colony nearby, the convoy started to leave the next morning as soon as it was repaired.
Riding on the horse, Locke curiously rummaged through the back shell of a sand bug.
"What's the use of magicians wanting this thing?" He felt that the carapace of the sandworm had no other features except that it was extremely hard.
I tapped it with my finger and made a dull sound of "dong dong". This carapace is lighter than steel, but its hardness is comparable to that of steel. It would be great if it could be made into armor. This is Locke's idea.
His bright yellow armor was also sprayed into a small area by the acid liquid of the sand bugs in the battle last night. This armor of excellent quality is worthy of the large amount of military merits that Locke spent in exchange. Corroded a thin layer.
Put some oil on it, take good care of it, and it is a 90% new armor.
The direction of travel is due north. According to the map, there is a large oasis two days away from them.
In addition to being able to replenish enough water, they will also meet people from the Kingdom of Ritucson for the first time.
"That is the outpost built by the Kingdom of Ritussen in the desert." Adjutant Bender has done a lot of work, and has already investigated clearly, "There will probably be a squadron of Ritussen defenders and a population of 300 people. small village."
As a convoy of envoys, Locke and the others don't have to worry about making things difficult for them from the Kingdom of Ritussen. The documents approved by the king and the pass donated by the Omor Empire will make their journey unimpeded.
In fact, on the way from Faustin to the Omor Empire, they need to worry more about the attacks of bandits and other creatures than the regular army passing through the country.
There are many countries where bandits and bandits are not as petty as in Faustin Kingdom. Faustin Kingdom's strong military colors and sturdy folk customs make it difficult for large-scale thieves to develop.
It’s different in other countries. Take the current Ritucsen Kingdom as an example. The sand pirates in their country are the ones who dare to face the tough army. There are thousands of sand pirates at every turn. It is hard for Locke to imagine the day How can the Tucson royal family tolerate it?
Perhaps it was because the sand worm attack that night was too impressive. The speed of the convoy was a few minutes faster than before. At noon two days later, the envoy arrived at this oasis called Mokamo. 'Mokamo' is in the desert language. In, it means a new place.
Whether Mokamo really represents a freshman, Locke doesn't know. What he knows is that he can finally take a good bath. Not only him, but also in the entire team, there are not a few people who have this idea.
Two documents from King Faustin and the Omor Empire made the Yerisan knight stationed in Mokamo express a warm welcome and a grand reception to the envoy.
The squadron commander of the Ritucsen Kingdom, who is a mid-level attendant, should have received the news from the upper levels long ago. Whether it is food or accommodation, he has prepared enough for the envoy.
On a one-off basis, after delivering 200 silver delle to Captain Yerisang, the team was given two days for supplies and repairs.
After taking a cold shower in the sheepskin tent, Locke was fortunate enough to observe the lives of the Ritussen civilians who lived here up close.
Most of the men in the Ritucsen Kingdom have dark faces, thin limbs and long swords hanging from their waists, giving people a nondescript feeling.
Most of the women in the Kingdom of Ritucun had fair complexion, chestnut hair wrapped under the white gauze, and always had a bunch of bells tied around their wrists. According to their words, it was to drive away the sheep.
Mokamo mainly makes a living by transporting supplies and receiving tourists. From the local people's stories, Locke knew that it was in the far west of the Ritucsen Desert, on the border between the Ritucsen Kingdom and the neighboring Kurt Kingdom. There was also a regiment of cavalry stationed on the line.
Mocamo was one of the base stations that delivered supplies to this cavalry regiment.
As for the tourists, the locals said that their mission is the third group of tourists they have received in this town in the past three years.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is the situation around Mokamo.
At night, the Yerisan knight organized the people of the whole town to hold a grand welcome party for the envoy. The ethnic customs from the exotic fascinated Locke.
Under the bonfire, the enthusiastic Sun Tucson dancer swayed Miaoman's waist, the bell she carried with her, "ding dong, ding dong" in the cool breeze of the night, eating roasted whole sheep, leaving Faustin Kingdom for so long, Locke felt warm for the first time.
The team stopped in the oasis of Mochamo for two days. It was almost a month since the mission of the envoy. The first welcome received, the hospitality of the local people in Mochamo, was often remembered by Locke in the long days to come.
After replenishing water and dry food, the team set off again, this time with a few more camels.
Locke walked a few times around the camel with two humps and was amazed. This was the first time he had seen a domestic animal like a camel.
There is also a Gobi in the Faustin Kingdom. He has heard of camels, but he has never seen them before. He rubbed the camel's hump, and was greeted with an impatient sniff from the camel.
Locke's hand has always been very strong, and it was probably hurting him just now.
Before the camel could lift its leg to teach the person who offended it, Locke's eyes glared, and it was so frightened that it immediately bent its legs and sat on the ground.
"It's afraid of you!" Angelina said to Locke with a smile.
"Does this make your legs weak?" Locke couldn't help laughing.
Carefully holding Angelina in the middle of the two humps, Locke also
He sat up on his butt, "..." The camel under him groaned and stood up straight.
"This camel has a lot of courage and a lot of strength." Locke said, he and Angelina are not light together, but this camel walks like a fly. Because it is good at walking in the sand, its speed is faster than that of a war horse. .
These camels were purchased from the residents of Mokamo, and the price of each 70 silver Delek was 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 Ritucsen, and the captain of the Yerisan Squadron exchanged it on his behalf, and he did not suffer. The countries rose sharply, at least ten percentage points higher than before.
These camels have replaced the work of many war horses in the team. The advantages of hunger, thirst and strength have greatly improved the speed of the team in the desert.
After leaving Mokamo, the mission encountered several small oases.
It may be because of the fact that he is about to walk out of the desert, the air is less hot and a little more water vapor.
On the high horse, Locke looked into the distance, "Where is the next stop?"
"Frye Army Station, the northwestern border station of the Kingdom of Ritucson." Bender is a competent adjutant.
On the skyline in the distance, the endless Gobi Desert has disappeared, replaced by rolling hills. I wonder if it was an illusion. From those hills, Locke felt the long-lost greenery.
As of mid-October, the convoy's convoy finally walked out of the Ritucson Desert. The night before bidding farewell to the desert, all the soldiers in the Frye Army Station put down their dry food for nearly a month.
A mouthful of hot and fresh food, the soldiers' request has always been simple.
In the military station, he chatted with several officers from the Ritucsen Kingdom, and declined the request of these dark-skinned Ritucsen people to have dinner, and Locke returned to the convoy.
"Why don't you see the famous sand thieves in the desert?" Raffi asked during dinner, and Xia Qian, who was sitting next to Locke, also had curious eyes.
They had also heard of the rampant sand thieves in the Kingdom of Ritucson, 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 worm attack.
Locke's political wisdom is not high, and he is curious. Grace next to him explained to Locke, "Those sand thieves can only bully ordinary people, not to mention that we are the envoys to the Omor Empire, and we are the blessings behind our backs. Stan Kingdom, they can't afford it either."
Through Grace's explanation, Locke also knew that the Kingdom of Ritucson was not able to solve the long-deadly sand thieves, but the price was too high. The desert in the western part of their country was uninhabited. The pull is very long, and it will also cause the crazy revenge of the sand thieves.
"These sand thieves, to a certain extent, also ensured the security of their western borders." Grace continued, "If other countries invade the Kingdom of Zitushen, the first thing they will face is these ubiquitous deserts in the desert. Jackal."
Perhaps among these sand thieves who are on the side of the disaster, there are high-level figures of the Ritucsen Kingdom?
Of course, these are not things that Locke, an outsider, needs to consider.
