Early the next morning, everyone led a mighty march towards the direction of the water vein.
The road Anissa took them on was extremely secretive and could not be found by Harlandin, so it was quite safe along the way.
After two full days of marching, everyone was almost exhausted, not to mention not drinking a sip of water.
Ziyun was even a little exhausted, and everyone had no choice but to hold her in their arms and take care of her personally.
When they arrived at the location of the water vein, everyone suddenly felt a little desperate.
This is the endless Gobi Desert, not like a place with water veins at all.
Even if there is a dead tree nearby, everyone will believe that there is water here.
Anissa also frowned, this place seemed a little different from what she remembered.
At this time, she couldn't care so much, so she could only bite the bullet and lead a few people to dig.
But after changing a dozen locations and digging dozens of holes, there was still no water!
Zhao Rui frowned and dismounted holding the pale Ziyun in his arms.
"Your Majesty, is there really water here?"
Anissa suddenly became anxious. She remembered clearly that the water vein was here.
The cry of an eagle suddenly came from not far away, and a large number of Khwarezm and Garuda cavalry rushed over from all directions. Judging from the scale, there were thousands of people, and there were tens of thousands of people behind them.
Zhao Rui immediately gritted his teeth. His men starved for two days, and many of them were already at their physical limit.
Suddenly faced with so many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight at all.
"Send the order, distribute all the water and food, and everyone should replenish their strength as soon as possible!"
Everyone shouted and jumped to the front.
Anisa suddenly panicked, her eyes full of unwillingness,
"It must be here, there must be water!"
She picked up the shovel and started digging regardless!
A fierce battle broke out, and both sides started to fight for blood.
The opponent has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, equipment, and physical strength. No matter how powerful they are, they will eventually be exhausted and die.
Harlandin approached slowly on horseback.
"Your Majesty, the underground water here dried up a year ago, so don't bother!"
Anissa suddenly panicked and stopped moving her hands.
"Impossible, this is the secret place of my Anxi Kingdom, how could you know it so clearly!"
Harlandine laughed wildly.
"If I want to rule all the surrounding countries, I must know this land absolutely! Not to mention the water here, I know even the more remote water veins!"
Anisa's face was ashen, which meant that this place was in a desperate situation!
Zhao Rui didn't care so much and killed everyone with one sword in his hand, making Harandin's soldiers dare not approach.
But these guys had no intention of continuing to attack. They just charged once and then returned directly, surrounded them in the middle and watched from a distance.
It looked like he was trying to use the desert sun to burn them to death.
Harlandin took out two large bags of water and poured it on his head.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, you are from Dashang, and things here have nothing to do with you. If you agree to the withdrawal of Dashang's troops from this land, and at the same time cede Parthia and Persia to Khwarazm, I will send the water there immediately!
