As soon as it dawned the next day, Habasha led his soldiers to continue on their way. The early morning in the desert was still cool, which was a good time to rush on the road. After ten minutes at noon, the sun was too bright, and even if you continued on your way, you would still have to go faster.
Much slower than when it was cooler.
Habasha found that today's march was faster than the previous few days. After all, the soldiers also knew that there was an oasis not far ahead. When they reached the oasis, there would be enough drinking water, and maybe there would be food transported by the supply team.
With these two things, there is hope of survival, so everyone's spirit seems much better than the previous few days, and they all want to return to the oasis as soon as possible.
Of course Habasha was as eager as his soldiers, but as the commander of the army, he was a little more cautious than his men. Habasha sent scouts to the oasis at dawn. If everything went normally, at this time
News should have come back. In fact, Habasha did not wait too long. A falcon that lives in the desert had already landed on the arm of the adjutant behind him with a scream.
The adjutant took out a piece of paper from the small tube tied to the back of the falcon. After unfolding it, he immediately looked surprised and whispered to Habasa: "Your Highness, the scout said that there is no one in Sweet Well Oasis."
, all missing!”
In fact, this news did not surprise Habasha. Since the supplies were delayed, he suspected that there was something wrong with the supply line, which might have been sabotaged by the enemy. At this time, Habasha was more concerned about another issue.
thing, he immediately asked: "Have you found any traces of the enemy?"
"No enemies found."
"That's good!" Habasha breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Order the army to speed up and rest after arriving at Sweet Well Oasis!"
At the same time that Habasha gave the order, all the scouts he sent had turned into corpses. Roger was slowly pulling the sword out of the chest of the last enemy, turning back to complain to Sophia behind him: "
You don’t know how to help me, I’m doing it all by myself.”
"Oh, these half-starved ants still need my help?" Sophia looked disdainful: "As long as they are hungry for a few more days, none of these people will survive!"
Sophia was indeed right, but the problem was that Roger couldn't wait that long. He had to kill these scouts before the enemy's large group arrived, and he really didn't have time to wait a few more days.
"It's okay if you don't take action against these guys." Roger vaccinated Sophia in advance: "But the enemy's large group of troops has arrived, and you must help!"
Although the puppet collar is still around Sophia's neck, Roger can just give her direct orders to do whatever he wants her to do. But after all, Sophia and Roger have a physical relationship, and Roger is still not used to actually putting her in her arms.
He is used as a demon pet, and he likes to communicate with the dragon girl in a consultative tone when it comes to everything.
Sophia also knew her respect for Roger, and felt that this human being was not as bad as she first imagined, and her attitude towards Roger was softening day by day. Now that she heard what Roger said, Sophia didn't
Zai Ci just waved his hand lazily and said: "I know, don't worry, none of those guys can escape!"
Sophia's words made Roger feel reassured, and he just waited for the enemy to come. In fact, with the troops Roger had now, it would not be difficult to deal with 20,000 exhausted soldiers, but if Sophia was there to hold the battle, he would win.
The possibility is naturally greater.
Habasha didn't know that the Sweet Well Oasis had been occupied by Roger, so he hurried over with his men. When he was not far from the oasis, he suddenly reined in the trotting sand beast and said with a look of astonishment.
An oasis not far ahead.
Right next to the Sweet Well Oasis, a majestic and huge castle appeared! In the harsh desert conditions, it is simply an impossible task to build a castle of this size. Even the king of Habasha's country did not do this.
A large-scale castle. At this time, this huge castle appeared next to an insignificant little oasis, which made everyone confused as to what was going on.
"Didn't the scout say that no enemy was found?" Habasha yelled at the adjutant beside him. The latter was also confused and didn't know how to answer this question.
This sudden appearance of the castle forced Habasha and his soldiers into a desperate situation. The last remaining water in the team was drunk. Now the life and death of more than 20,000 people depended on the well in the middle of the oasis. If
We can't get enough clean water from the well. It won't take long.
Everyone had to die. And the nearest oasis was two days away. Habasha knew that his men wouldn't be able to hold on for that long. However, the castle was right next to the oasis, and Habasha didn't think that the people in the castle would let it go.
Go get the water yourself without any interference.
"All we have to do is fight!" Looking at the castle that suddenly appeared not far away, Habasha's desperate eyes flashed with a trace of madness.
"Soldiers, ahead is the Sweet Well Oasis! There are sweet well water, cool shade, and even fragrant barbecue!" Habasha sat on the sand beast and shouted to the soldiers behind him, his hoarse voice drifting.
into the ears of every soldier.
Listening to Habasha's description of the situation in the oasis, the tired expressions of the soldiers became a little more hopeful, and their morale also became high. Many people straightened up and greedily touched the oasis not far away.
"But you are here too. There is a castle next to the oasis. The enemies in the castle will not give up the oasis easily!" Habasha continued to shout to his men: "We must capture the castle. Only in this way can we hope to survive!"
As long as you capture the castle, all the loot inside will belong to you, and the first warrior to rush into the castle will get the title of noble!"
As the saying goes, "There must be brave men under heavy rewards." The conditions offered by Habasha were tempting enough. In addition, this battle was originally related to everyone's life and death. The hungry and thirsty soldiers ignited their last bit of fighting spirit and issued a warning.
The overwhelming shouts: "Kill, kill, kill!"
When the soldiers calmed down, Habasha suddenly waved his raised right hand and said: "Desert warriors, charge!"
Under Habasa's order, more than 20,000 desert warriors launched a charge. The sand beast cavalry beat the dying mount hard, forcing out the last bit of the sand beast's potential. It didn't need to be said by Habasa, and the soldiers were also shocked.
You know, this battle is related to everyone's life and death. If you win, you will live, if you fail, everyone will die, so no one has any plans to preserve their strength.
"Hey... come on, they are really ready to fight!" Seeing the enemies swarming towards the castle like ants, Roger reminded Sophia beside him: "Don't forget what you promised me!"
"I know, I know!" Sophia responded impatiently and said nonchalantly to the approaching enemies: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. As long as we hold on to the castle, these guys will be dead in two or three days.
."
Sophia's method of waiting for work is indeed trouble-free, but Roger doesn't want to do that. The more than 20,000 desert warriors are a very powerful soul force. It would be too wasteful to just wait for them to die of thirst.
.So Roger decided to confront the enemy head-on and kill them all to accumulate more soul power.
While the two were talking, the sand beast cavalry had already rushed into the range of the crossbowmen. Arrows shot down from the city wall like raindrops, and immediately a large number of sand beast cavalry fell to the ground. The desert climate was too hot, and the general
Warriors don't wear iron armor or leather armor. Otherwise, they will die from the heat before the enemy takes action. Therefore, the lethality of arrows to these sand beast cavalry is amazing, and almost as long as they hit the target, they can cause fatal damage.
harm.
After just two rounds of arrows, the sand beast cavalry who charged at the front lost hundreds of people. Such a head-on attack made the high morale of the desert warriors become a bit low, and the infantry who followed the charge began to hesitate.
The pace also involuntarily slowed down.
Habasha, who stayed on the spot to watch the battle, was keenly aware of this situation and couldn't help but feel anxious. You must know that what is going on now is not an ordinary siege battle. If the castle cannot be defeated, the entire army will at best retreat, and they can come back to fight again after resting. If you can't do it all at once
After capturing this sudden appearance of the castle, no one could survive, including him, Habasha.
Thinking of this, Habasha immediately yelled with all his strength: "Warriors of the desert, have you forgotten what I just said? We have no way out, kill!"
Habasha was also a strong man of silver. He gathered his fighting spirit and shouted loudly, and his voice spread throughout the battlefield. The soldiers were shocked after hearing his words. They remembered their current predicament and plucked up their courage again to rush towards the battlefield.
The castle in front of you.
Although the crossbowmen on the city wall tried their best to fire, nearly 20,000 people charged directly. More than a thousand crossbowmen alone could not stop them. The sandwalking beast cavalry charging at the front quickly arrived under the city wall.
The desert warriors who were retreating lightly could not carry any siege equipment, nor could they climb up the high city wall, so they focused their attack on the city gate. Many cavalrymen directly drove their mounts to run at full speed, slamming into them heavily.
Toward the fortified city gate.
Although they knew that not only would their mounts be destroyed if they collided like this, but their own lives would be in danger, as long as they could cause even a little bit of damage to the city gate, these cavalrymen would still rush into it without hesitation.
The ferocious nature of the desert warriors finally fully emerged at this time. Cavalrymen kept driving their mounts towards the city gate. After heavy impacts, the sand beasts screamed and fell to the ground, and the cavalrymen often fell heavily to the ground.
, before he could get up, he was trampled to death by the sand beasts that followed.
Under the continuous impact, the strong gate of the castle began to shake slightly, and then the shaking became larger and larger, and it seemed that it might be broken through at any time. At this time, more and more desert warriors rushed under the city wall,
Some infantrymen wanted to climb up the city wall with weapons in their mouths, as if they would not give up until the castle was captured.
Judging from the current situation of the war, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the castle is captured by the desert warriors.
