Three days later, Roger led a team of about 300 men and left Gettysburg with Sophia. [] Eaton and other defenders followed Roger away, with a look of reluctance on their faces.
.This period of fighting side by side has allowed them to form a deep friendship with Roger. Now that the brave Viscount who killed enemies is leaving, everyone will naturally be a little reluctant to part with him.
"Boss, where do you think the Viscount will be sent?" A soldier looked at Roger's back and asked Eton beside him.
Yidun let out a long sigh, then shook his head and said: "This is an order from above, how could I know? In short, there will be no more Viscount to take care of you in the future, so everyone should cheer up!"
After Roger came to Gettysburg, everyone did have a comfortable life. Thinking of having to fight the enemy again in the future, everyone felt even heavier. Many people scolded Raikkonen who ordered Roger to be transferred.
His head was bloody.
Roger did not think that he was going on any dangerous mission. To him, this trip was more like a "special tour of the dry water desert." After walking out of the sight of everyone in Gettysburg, he turned to the soldiers who were following him.
They all returned to the secondary space of the castle, and only Sophia and I rode horses and slowly headed south.
In fact, the two of them could have traveled on a griffin, or Roger would not have objected to using Sophia as a "transportation tool." However, the dragon girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, and she insisted on riding a horse and walking slowly in the desert.
It would be very romantic, so the two of them used this slowest method to get on their way.
Going further south from Gettysburg, the environment has obviously changed. The originally moist yellow soil has become increasingly dry and soon turned into rough gravel. The plants that cover the ground have also begun to become sparse.
Desert plants with small leaves and fine needles gradually took over the dominant species, while plants that like moisture such as wild grasses and shrubs became fewer and fewer, and in the end they disappeared completely. At this time, the surrounding area completely turned into a desert.
As for the terrain, the two of them had officially entered the dry water desert.
The dry water desert is vast, almost ten times the size of the Kingdom of Thorne. Of course, such a large area cannot be completely barren desert, and there are always some places suitable for survival. Where underground springs emerge, large areas will be formed.
Oasis, large and small. These oases are not only places where desert creatures live, but also where humans in the desert gather.
In fact, there are hundreds of inhabited oases in dry deserts. These oases vary in size. Some can only sustain a few dozen people, while others are as large as a city, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
They can all live a comfortable life around them.
The desert countries were built on these oases. No one knows how many countries there are in this vast desert, but this time the war with the Kingdom of Thorne is only three countries on the edge of the desert.
For these three countries, the situation at the beginning of the war was very favorable to them. The brave sand beast cavalry spread across the entire Seiya County. Except for two cities, the entire Seiya County was accessible to them at will.
At that time, it was easy for soldiers to obtain supplies. As long as they looted villages and towns, they could get enough food to last for a long time.
The wealth of the northern countries also makes the soldiers participating in the war in the desert countries even more excited. What they have is not gold and jewelry. These things are not uncommon in the desert countries. What really interests these people are the items that they seem to be looking for in the Kingdom of Thorne.
For example, crystal white porcelain, clear and transparent glassware, bright and smooth silk and even the most common woodenware are all expensive luxuries in desert countries, much more precious than gold and gemstones.
Unexpectedly, there were so many good things in the Kingdom of Thorn. The soldiers of the Desert Kingdom were all red-eyed and as excited as chicken blood. They all asked to expand the scale of the attack and continue to march north to get more and more valuable loot.
.Anyway, the fighting ability of these Yankees is just that, they are no match for the desert athletes.
At first, the upper echelons of the three desert countries were a little hesitant. After all, limited by natural conditions, the scale of desert countries is generally not too large. These soldiers are almost the entire strength of the three countries. It is necessary to use the power of the whole country to attack the Kingdom of Thorne.
Anyone would have some scruples about starting a full-scale war. After all, compared with these three desert countries, the Kingdom of Thorne is an amazing behemoth. In terms of territory and population, it is not comparable to the desert countries.
However, as the war is getting smoother and smoother, optimism is spreading throughout the desert country. Even civilians are calling on the royal family to make up its mind to launch a full-scale war as soon as possible to seize more wealth for the country. The desert kingdom has a sparse population, and almost every family
Every household has a man serving as a soldier. Not long after the war started, the men in the family asked someone to take them with them.
The returned belongings have made everyone very happy. Everyone wishes that the scale of the war would be larger, and the men in the family would naturally snatch back more belongings. As for who these things originally belonged to, and what is happening to their original owners now?
Well, these people will naturally not care about how much blood was stained on these properties.
Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the Three Kingdoms finally made up their minds to launch an all-out war against the Kingdom of Thorne. Unfortunately, when their orders were sent to the front line, it happened to be the day when Roger entered Gettysburg. Under Roger's full force to stop them
, almost all the legions that invaded the Kingdom of Thorne returned. The commander of the Desert Country Expeditionary Force had to order a suspension of the attack and make plans after finding out the enemy's strength.
However, suspending the attack is easy to say, but not so simple to implement. Tens of thousands of troops and mounts are gathered in a small area, and an astonishing amount of food and fodder is consumed every day. And in this dry environment
In the desert, even drinking water needs to be transported from elsewhere, and the daily supply requirements have reached an astonishing level.
Originally, desert countries used local looting to provide supplies when fighting wars, but now that their soldiers are under orders not to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Thorne, supplies can only be transported from the country by the Sand Walkers.
This is definitely not an easy task. In order to feed this army, no one knows how many sand beasts travel between the largest oases and the army to transport everything they need. For desert countries, it is necessary to
It is too difficult to complete this work. So now the two
Thousands of soldiers can only eat one meal a day, and even drinking water is strictly controlled. Fighting without fighting or retreating, and enduring hunger and thirst every day has caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers. But they
What I don't know is that soon even this minimum guarantee will be gone.
Roger has gone deep into the dry water desert and is trying his best to find the enemy's supply route.
