Chapter 595 I Really Miss This Despicable Feeling
Sand City is probably the most mysterious city in the wasteland world, if not the only one.
This huge city is located on the edge of the world's largest desert, the 'Gray Sea'. Compared with other forces, the city's location can be said to be deep.
The Gray Sea is full of dangers, strange mirages, unreasonable wind and sand, and covetous desert monsters. These dangerous factors constitute this terrifying deep sea. Other forces in the Gray Sea are also on the edge, but to be more precise, the territory of those forces is half soil and half desert.
Only the Sand City, this city goes deep into the wind and sand and builds a huge human camp.
The Empire, which is in its heyday, has attacked the Sand City three times, because it is rumored that the treasures of the Gray Sea are collected in the huge treasury of the Sand City, but no matter which time, the Imperial Army has never really set foot on the golden gate.
Or, to put it in a more realistic and unbeautified way-the Empire has not even captured the satellite city of the Sand City.
According to the history of the empire, the imperial army tried various methods but could not block the influence of the wind and sand in the gray sea. This huge wind and sand that would directly deprive humans of five meters away made it difficult to walk. Strangely, the city defense army of the City of Sand could move freely in the wind and sand.
After repeated attempts, they were unsuccessful, and the empire finally gave up this bone that could not be chewed - it is said that when the former emperor Bai Wujiu first took office, he was ready to complete the unfinished great cause of his ancestors, but after the army was assembled, Bai Wujiu took the initiative to give up this idea.
No matter what the reason, it is enough to see the heritage of this city.
The City of Sand is located in an oasis in the gray sea. The city was built with the oasis as the center. There are five satellite cities at the forefront of the city. The names of the satellite cities are also simple, from Sand One to Sand Five - among which Sand Five is the outermost city with the worst treatment, and Sand One is the best. Of course, the life in the satellite city is naturally not as good as the main city.
Yes, the Sand City has implemented a strategy similar to the Paradise City early on. If you want to enter the main city, you must make enough contributions and stay in the satellite city for a long time before you can enter. I heard that the standards are very strict.
Many people who have been stranded outside for various reasons, such as attacks by crazy beasts, invasions by predators, and attacks by forces, will try to cross the wind and sand to find the legendary Sand City, but they can only stay in the satellite city until they grow old, and have never seen the Sand City full of gold before they die.
This city is extremely mysterious. They never open to the outside world, nor do they trade with other cities. Occasionally, some "caravans" wearing golden armor will walk out of the gray sea and use precious resources to trade goods.
This closed but rich city is the dream place of many explorers, and it is also the fat meat coveted by countless forces.
…
"Crazy, crazy... Bai Ye must be crazy..." In the simple tent, Wall was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Rayleigh on the side didn't find him annoying, and his face was also full of worry. After all, the powerful empire in the past couldn't capture the Sand City, let alone the imperial army that was now seriously injured.
Wall, who was pacing, finally stopped. He sighed and said, "Bai Ye is crazy about merit... With so few people, I'm afraid he can't even get through the thinnest wind and sand at the outermost edge. This time, I'm afraid I can't even see the shadow of the satellite city..."
Rayleigh said nervously, "What should we do then?"
"What can we do? Now we have reached the edge of the Gray Sea, and the army can't retreat... My premonition may come true. Our new deadly queen really wants to use us as cannon fodder to explore the way..."
Hearing this, Rayleigh's face turned pale, and he stammered, "But, but, even if all the people who were forcibly conscripted are thrown out to explore the way, the remaining troops will not be enough, right?"
Wall said irritably, "It's definitely not enough! I heard from my great-grandfather that it was his grandfather who told His——That year, the Empire dispatched 200,000 troops, and finally lost nearly 20,000 people and retreated back in disgrace——This was the result of the experience of two attacks. It is said that the walls of the worst satellite city Shawu are as high as 100 meters. The imperial soldiers climbed up with ladders and rolled down in a short time, like hail falling from the sky. "
Hearing his scary words, Rayleigh became more and more nervous. He didn't want to be cannon fodder, so he could only timidly say: "But, maybe the imperial army has a way this time?"
"What a fart of a way? ! The imperial army and the people we were forcibly conscripted only have 40,000 to 50,000 people, and only half of them have combat effectiveness... It's over, it's over, we have to find a way to escape..."
When the two were anxious, suddenly, the emergency signal sounded.
Although they complained in their hearts, they did not dare to slack off, and hurried out of the tent to gather together.
"Everyone, take your equipment and follow the army. "
Rayleigh and Wall turned pale, and when they saw the so-called "equipment", they began to have doubts again.
What are these boxes and tricycles used for?
Could it be that they are to disguise themselves as vendors entering the Gray Sea and then disperse to explore the way?
…
In the main account of the military camp, the general in charge of this expedition is named Shi Rui, the biological son of the late general Shi Hai. He had made many military achievements before, and his father died heroically in battle, so he directly became Bai Ye's confidant.
"General, why are the orders from His Majesty so strange... And, with so few people, are we really going to attack the City of Sand?" The military staff frowned.
They have already reached the Grey Sea. They don't know the specific strategy of this expedition. They just act according to the secret orders from His Majesty from time to time. The knowledgeable military staff naturally understand that this is a taboo in military strategy.
Shi Rui just put on his armor. It was not until the staff couldn't help asking a few more questions that he said calmly: "As a soldier, the first priority is to obey military orders. Your Majesty is not like you and I. Just obey orders obediently."
No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
The staff said anxiously: "But the military is seriously injured. Those militiamen who were forcibly recruited are fine. If there is a problem with the remaining troops, the empire will be open to the world!"
Shi Rui shook his head: "Not only our brothers, we have to take those militiamen back."
"How is this possible..." The staff subconsciously denied it. After all, militiamen are consumables most of the time, especially the current situation of the imperial army is worrying.
Shi Rui just smiled: "You still don't understand His Majesty's order... That's all. When we get there, you and I will know exactly what His Majesty is going to do."
"But, General, General... This is not a time for trifling, why don't you try to persuade His Majesty?"
"Trifling? Chief of Staff, you should study His Majesty's secret order again."
...
At this time, Her Majesty the Queen and Sean were in an area similar to a cave.
"According to the speed at which my secret order was issued, the army should have set off by now." Bai Ye said.
Sean raised his head and looked at the top of his head, then smiled: "Then we can also take action... I miss this despicable feeling so much."
