Chapter 1441 The Army Advances Northward
It is not a child's play to go out with a large army, even if Fang Fang is only leading two thousand soldiers from all nations.

For this expedition, preparations for logistics and supplies have been started one in advance. This time it is an expedition to the northern border. The road is the Gobi Desert, and there is no other supplies. In other words, the food and supplies needed for the march must be prepared from the Nile. Drinking water, ammunition, medical supplies, etc.

Therefore, although it is stated that there are only 2000 million soldiers from the country, in fact there are still nearly [-] soldiers who set off together.

In addition to the 2000 million soldiers of the Nile Kingdom, there are also [-] Nile soldiers, but these [-] Nile soldiers are only equipped with a small amount of weapons. From the very beginning of this Northern Expedition, these Nile soldiers were not intended to go to the front line. The logistics troops are equipped with a small amount of weapons for the convenience of management, and at the same time, they can also protect the logistics supplies.

There are three generals traveling with Equation, Blake, James and Lianna.

After continuous war baptism, Blake is now a general who can stand on his own, and Fang Fang also trusts him extremely. The two thousand soldiers from all nations behind him are all under the unified command of him.

The identities of James and Lianna are even more special. They are not military generals in the traditional sense. If you look at it with modern military concepts, it is more accurate to say that they should be the captains of the two special operations teams.

The 40-member special operations team was divided into two, with James and Lianna each leading one. These two special operations teams were even more threatening than the 2000-member army.

The army is used to attack cities and villages head-on, while James and Lianna's special operations team is beheading and directly eradicating the leader of the enemy army.

Above the Gobi, the troops of the Northern Expedition were still slowly moving forward.

The sun has already set in the west, and the desolate Gobi desert is empty. Such a scene always makes people feel very bleak.

Fang Fang was walking in front, and at this moment he couldn't help thinking of a line of poetry, "The desert is solitary, the long river falls into the sun." I read it out of the whim.

Liana heard him read the words, and they had a lot of charm, so she asked curiously: "Is this the ancient poem you mentioned again?"

Fang Fang smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to write such beautiful poems in the face of this magnificent and vast beauty."

When the two were chatting and laughing, the guide in front came to the equation.

This guide is from Nile, named Abu, who is very familiar with the Gobi outside Nile, and is often recruited by the Nile army as a guide.

"My lord, there is a water source not far from here, and it is called Butterfly Bay."

"Butterfly Bay, good name." Fang Fang asked with great interest, "How did you get such a name?"

"The place is located between three sand dunes, and there is a spring in the ground. No matter what the season, the spring will never dry up. The spring water flowing out of it forms an inlet, and there will be many in the inlet at night. Butterflies are flying in the sky, hence the name Butterfly Bay."

"Are there really butterflies?"

"Yes, butterflies appear every night."

Fang Fang looked up at the western sky, the red sun was about to set, and under the setting sun, the shadows of the team stretched obliquely.

At night, the temperature on the Gobi is very low, and the wind and sand are raging. It is not suitable to continue marching. The best way is to find a place that can avoid the wind and sand to rest.

A team of [-] people cannot walk alone. There are so many people who need to take care of the head and tail, and the logistics cannot be left behind.

"Then go to the Butterfly Bay ahead and rest."

Fang Fang said to the guide that he wanted to say that Butterfly Bay has water to recharge, and it would be perfect to go there to rest.

As a result, Abu frowned slightly, his expression was full of worry, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

Equation captured the change in Abu's expression, and asked, "What's the matter, is there any problem going to Butterfly Bay?"

Abu said: "There is nothing wrong with Butterfly Bay, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Seeing Abu hesitating, Fang Fang looked very impatient.

Abu whispered: "There are often desert horse bandits in Butterfly Bay."

"Horse bandits?"

Fang Fang’s expression was full of disdain, and he thought that the horse bandits were nothing, just a group of robbers in the desert. I would be afraid that a few horse bandits would fail if I took the elite of all nations to the north. It’s fine if they don’t come. Come on, I'll kill them all.

Abu looked very scared. He had seen these desert horse bandits before. He used to go north with Nero's supply troops and often encountered horse bandits in Butterfly Bay.

Because this is the only way to go north, and Butterfly Bay is the best place to rest, where water can be replenished, so basically every time you pass by Butterfly Bay, you will encounter horse bandits.

The number of those horse bandits was extremely large, there were thousands of people, and they were all riding horses.

Nero's supply troops fought continuously with these horse bandits, and each other suffered casualties.

Abu is lucky. He has survived no less than ten raids by horse bandits, but he has not suffered any injuries and has survived until now.

Hearing what Abu said about those horse bandits, Fang Fang still felt that it was not worth mentioning, but one thing surprised him. He thought that there were no human beings living in this Gobi, but he did not expect that there were so many horse bandits hidden.

"Where do these horse bandits come from?"

"They are all from those tribes in the desert before."

Although this desert looks desolate, it is not really uninhabited. In the depths of the desert, tribes such as Djibouti live. Now Sera, the queen of Nile, is the princess of this tribe.

These small countries or tribes originally lived in their own territories, but since they were destroyed by Nile, they began to become horse bandits and lived a life of plundering Nile's logistics troops.

Because Nile's transportation of materials to the north is a long-term and never-ending thing, except for the special period before, which also makes those horse bandits eagerly hope that Nile's supply troops will pass through Butterfly Bay .

As for the O'Here army that went south to attack Nile before, just seeing the [-] troops scared the crap out of those horse bandits. They would never have the idea of ​​robbing the O'Here people.

Abu looked at the formula worriedly, "My lord, we only have two thousand soldiers for fighting, and those horse bandits have thousands of people every time they operate, or we should drive all night and not stop at Butterfly Bay."

"Thousands of horse bandits, since I passed by Butterfly Bay today, I decided to stop at Butterfly Bay. If those horse bandits dare to come, I will definitely tell them not to come back."

"My lord..."

"If you are afraid, then find a place to hide. You were lucky to survive the ten encounters with horse bandits before. Do you think you can survive this time?"
