Chapter 357 Dry Water Desert

Three days later, Roger and Sophia left Gettysburg with a team of [-] people. 【】Eden and the other defenders watched Roger leave, with reluctance on their faces.Fighting side by side during this period of time has made them forge a deep friendship with Roger. Now that the brave Viscount who killed the enemy is leaving, everyone will naturally feel a little bit reluctant.

"Boss, where do you think the Lord Viscount will be sent?" A soldier looked at Roger's back and asked Eaton beside him.

Yi Dun sighed a long time, then shook his head and said: "This is an order from above, how would I know? Anyway, there will be no Lord Viscount to take care of you from now on, everyone should cheer up!"

After Roger came to Gettysburg, everyone really had a comfortable life. Thinking that they would fight the enemy again, everyone felt more heavy. Many people scolded Raikkonen who ordered Roger to be transferred away. Got a bloody head.

Roger didn't think that he was going to perform any dangerous mission. To him, this trip was more like a "special tour in dry water desert".After walking out of the sight of everyone in Gettysburg, he retracted all the soldiers following him to the secondary space of the castle, and only two of them rode southward slowly with Sophia.

In fact, the two could have traveled on a griffin, or Roger would not have objected to using Sophia as a "means of transportation".But Longnu didn't know which tendon was wrong, insisting that it would be very romantic to walk slowly in the desert on horseback, so the two of them used this slowest way to hurry.

Further south from Gettysburg, the environment clearly changes.The loess land, which was still wet before, became more and more dry, and soon turned into rough gravel.And the plants that covered the ground also began to thin out. Small leaves and desert plants with thin needles gradually took over as the dominant species, while weeds, shrubs and other plants that liked humidity became less and less, and finally disappeared completely. .At this time, the surrounding area has completely turned into a desert terrain, and the two of them have officially entered the range of the Dry Water Desert.

The dry water desert is vast, almost ten times the size of Thorn Kingdom.Of course, such a large area cannot be completely desert without grass, and there are always some places suitable for living.Where those underground springs rise, oases, large and small, will form.These oases are not only places where desert creatures live, but also places where humans gather in the desert.

In fact, there are no less than hundreds of inhabited oases in the dry water desert. These oases are of different sizes, some can only support the livelihood of dozens of people, and some are as large as a city, with tens of thousands or even more than [-] people They can live a comfortable life around them.

Desert countries are built on these oases as the cornerstone.No one knows how many countries there are in this vast desert, but this time it is only the three countries on the edge of the desert that are at war with the Thorn Kingdom.

For these three countries, the situation at the beginning of the war was very favorable to them.The brave sand beast cavalry traversed the entire Seiya County, except for the two cities, the entire Seiya County became a place where they could enter and exit at will.At that time, it was also easy for the soldiers to obtain supplies, as long as they went to the villages and towns to plunder casually, they could get enough food for a long time.

The wealth of the northern countries also made the soldiers in the desert countries eager to see and beat their hearts.Theirs is not gold jewelry, these things are not uncommon in desert countries, what really interests these people is the items that they seem to be looking for in Thorne Kingdom.For example, crystal clear white porcelain, clear and transparent glassware, bright and smooth silk, and even the most common woodware are all expensive luxury goods in desert countries, much more precious than gold and gemstones.

Unexpectedly, there are so many good things in the Thorn Kingdom. The soldiers of the Desert Kingdom all had red eyes and were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.They all asked to expand the scale of the attack and continue to march north, so as to get more and more valuable spoils.Anyway, the combat effectiveness of these Yankees is the same, and they are not opponents of desert athletes at all.

At first, the upper echelons of the three desert countries hesitated.After all, limited by natural conditions, the size of desert countries is generally not too large, and these soldiers are almost the entire strength of the three countries.Anyone who wants to use the power of the whole country to launch an all-out war against the Thorne Kingdom will have some scruples.After all, compared with these three desert countries, the Thorne Kingdom is a remarkable behemoth. Neither the territory nor the population are comparable to the desert countries.

However, as the war became more and more smooth, optimism spread throughout the desert country.Even civilians are appealing to the royal family to make up their minds to launch an all-out war as soon as possible to grab more wealth for the country.The desert kingdom is sparsely populated, and almost every household has a man serving as a soldier.Not long after the war started, the belongings brought back by the man in the family have already made everyone very happy.Everyone wished that the scale of the war would be bigger, and the men in the family would naturally rob more property.As for who these things originally belonged to, what happened to their original owners, and how much blood was stained on these properties, these people naturally don't care.

Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the Three Kingdoms finally made up their minds to launch an all-out war against the Thorn Kingdom.Unfortunately, when their orders reached the front, it happened to be the day when Roger was stationed in Gettysburg.Under Roger's full resistance, almost all the legions that invaded Thorne's Kingdom returned home.The commander of the Desert National Expeditionary Force had to order a suspension of the attack, and make plans after finding out the enemy's reality.

However, this suspension of offense is easy to say, but it is not so simple to implement it.Tens of thousands of troops plus mounts are gathered in a small area, and the daily consumption of food and fodder is an astonishing amount.And in this dry desert, even drinking water needs to be transported from other places, and the daily supply has reached an astonishing level.

Originally, the desert countries used local looting to supply supplies when fighting wars, but now their soldiers were ordered not to enter the territory of the Thorne Kingdom, and supplies could only be brought from the country by the Sand Beast Team.

This is definitely not an easy task.In order to feed this army, it is not known how many sand beasts went back and forth between the largest oases and the army, transporting everything they needed.For the desert country, it is too difficult to complete this work.So now the [-] soldiers can only eat one meal a day, and even drinking water is strictly controlled.Fighting and not retreating as they are now, and suffering from hunger and thirst every day, has caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers.But what they don't know is that soon even this minimum guarantee will be gone.

Roger has gone deep into the dry desert and is trying his best to find the enemy's supply routes.
