September in the deserted land has survived the hottest summer.
There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the deserted land. During the day, the vicious sun can almost burn off a layer of skin on a person, but at night, the mountain breeze blows, and the coolness will penetrate into the bones. The members of the adventure group go out at night
When camping, you need to wrap yourself in a blanket to sleep.
Some adventure groups finally passed through the desolate land and touched the edge of Pudu Mountain. They wrapped themselves tightly in linen cloth and passed through the dead area covered with volcanic ash. They came to the foot of Pudu Mountain where the sky was filled with volcanic ash.
When I saw the crater with billowing smoke, I was ready to look for sulfur deposits along the smoke column.
But no matter how they went around, they couldn't get around those wooden boundary markers.
The boundary markers were written with the words "Boundary Markers of the Barony of Suldak", which seemed to be specifically designed to enclose the Pudu Mountain. The adventure group found that these boundary markers actually completely enclosed the entire Pudu Mountain. They wanted to get closer to the Pudu Mountain.
There is no way to avoid entering the barony of Suldak.
Passing through the noble territory is not a big deal for the adventure group, but the real purpose of these adventure groups is to discover new sulfur veins, so they must avoid the noble territory, otherwise opening a mine in the noble territory will definitely be considered illegal digging.
Yes, once it is brought to the aristocratic court, in order to safeguard the best interests of the nobility, the party who committed the theft will be punished until he regrets having the shameful idea in the first place.
After the adventure group bypasses the Pussy Mountains and enters the Paglos Mountains, they will find that the boundary marker ends abruptly among the green mountains.
There are no other volcanoes in the southern section of the Paglos Mountains, but there are some mountain hot springs. Some hot springs in the valleys are also full of strong sulfur smell. However, it is very difficult to open a mine here. First of all,
This place is located at the other end of the desolate land, deep into the Paglos Mountains. It is inaccessible and inhabited by monsters.
To get here, you have to pass through a desolate land. Even if there are some sulfur mines in the valley, ordinary miners cannot survive in such a dangerous area. It is not realistic to clean up all the monsters in the mountains.
, there is no need for an adventure group or mercenary group to be stationed in the mine for a long time, which will further increase the cost of mine operation.
Even in today's market conditions, with the market price of sulfur mines rising all the way, the high operating costs required to open a sulfur mine deep in the Paglos Mountains are still unbearable for those businessmen.
But even so, several small-scale sulfur mines still appeared in several valleys with hot springs in the Paglos Mountains near Pudu Mountain.
The closest sulfur mine to Surdak's territory is even far away from the boundary monument to the north of Pudu Mountain.
Luke guarded the sulfur mines on this side of the lava river, and could often see adventure groups walking knee-deep in volcanic ash. He sent people to deliver a message to Surdak, and had people ride horses along Pussy Mountain.
The barony's boundary markers patrol to ensure that these boundary markers are still erected in their original positions.
In late August, the task of patrolling along the boundary marker was handed over to the indigenous warrior Andrew.
In addition to patrolling the nineteen natural villages in the deserted land, the indigenous warrior Andrew also visited the Surdak territory. The indigenous warrior Andrew was no longer satisfied with the battle of wits and courage with the bandits in the desert, and perfectly avoided the battle of Wall Village.
Andrew's body was burning with flames of war, especially after Suldak successfully implanted a magic pattern breeding suit on his chest, this desire to fight became even stronger.
It feels like an invisible flame is burning my body every moment...
Andrew rode the horse that had already adapted to the deserted land. He took off the water bag from the saddle and poured the last bit of water in the water bag into his throat. The cool water dripped on his face, and the moist coolness made him feel better.
.
He wanted to find a shady place before noon to avoid the scorching sun at noon. If he remembered correctly, there were two huge rocks like door frames not far ahead.
Andrew can find a touch of coolness under the boulder, have a nice sleep there, and wait until dusk is approaching before continuing to ride forward.
He has been patrolling the deserted land for a whole summer and has already mastered the survival mode here.
As expected, after turning around a hill filled with volcanic ash, I saw a huge boulder not far ahead.
The war horse under Andrew suddenly became energetic. It ran hard to the boulder. Andrew led the war horse to a shady place and nailed the water gathering scroll to the stone wall. Drops of water condensed in front of the water gathering scroll.
The drops fell into the iron plate below, and the horse quickly lowered his head and kept drinking the clear water collected in the iron plate, occasionally licking the rock wall with his rough tongue.
Andrew sprinkled a little dragon dung powder around the stone wall. This kind of dragon dung is not expensive, but it is a very good powder to repel poisonous insects.
In the deserted land, every shady place is where poisonous insects, snakes and ants gather. Many gray rock iguanas will also hide in deeper rock crevices. In order not to be disturbed by poisonous insects, Andrew sprinkled a little dragon dung, so that
I can sleep until sunset.
This is near the edge of the desert...
Last time he met a group of sand bandits near here. He chased a dozen bandits on horseback alone. It wasn't until the bandits fled into the desert that Andrew stopped chasing. The result was five sand bandits.
The thief's head, and three Saltasha horses.
Now these three horses are already in the team in Wall Village. In just one year, the number of four-wheeled carriages in Wall Village has grown to forty. If it were not limited by the number of coachmen, this number would have been at least more.
Add a base.
Andrew used a shovel to dig through the dry volcanic ash until the rocky ground was exposed under the ash layer. Then he spread a wolfskin mattress in the pit. The pit was close to the huge rock, just in the shadow of the huge rock. He wore a heavy
Armor lay on the mattress, closing his eyes to maintain his strength.
This is a rule of the guard camp. If you go out on a mission alone, you are not allowed to take off your armor even if you are sleeping.
He hoped to see some adventure groups sneaking into the territory to steal sulfur mines, and then he could legitimately start a fight.
He raised his right hand, and with a thought, a trace of warmth flowed through his chest, and a flame appeared silently. This flame wrapped around his right hand, but his hand could not feel the heat of the flame, he just felt
A ball of warmth enveloped his right hand.
This is the effect of the magic pattern breeding equipment 'Rage Flame'. At present, except that it can help him quickly raise a fire in the cold night, it has not shown any effect. However, the embarrassing thing is that in this desolate land, I want to
It is also very difficult to find firewood to make a fire.
Andrew controlled his emotions, watched the flame in his hand gradually extinguish, then squinted his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while.
There was a messy sound of horse hooves on the rocky ground beneath him. Andrew, who was sleeping, opened his eyes. He sat up suddenly from the wolf-skin mattress and quickly pulled the war horse standing beside him, licking the rough rock wall, into the rock.
In the shadows, he lay on the sand and peered out in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
I saw a group of rebel cavalry appearing on the Gobi. The leader of the rebel group was leading a small group of cavalry towards the boulder. There were six people in total.
Andrew didn't even think much about it. He only saw the posture of the rebels on horseback and knew that they were a tough group of people. Their riding posture was as standard as a textbook. Although he didn't know how long they had traveled, but that
However, the few war horses showed no signs of fatigue.
I heard that the rebels in the north have about three squadrons sneaking into the city of Hailan this time. Last month, only one of the cavalry squadrons attacked Wall Village, which means that there are at least two cavalry squadrons operating in Hailan.
In the area of Sachs City.
Karl was very busy every day because of this matter, but he couldn't even touch the tail of these rebels.
Suppressing the raging flames of war burning in his heart, Andrew did not dare to take another look, for fear that after one glance, he would change his mind and turn around to fight with this group of rebel cavalry in the depths of the deserted land. He was not worried about anything else.
I was just worried that no one would spread the news about the presence of rebel cavalry near Pudu Mountain.
Andrew quickly put away the water collecting scroll on the stone wall, poured the water from the water dish into the water bag, and drank the remaining water in one gulp.
After packing up and saluting, he pulled his horse to the other side of the boulder. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the most vicious and hot part of the day had passed.
He mounted his horse and immediately ran south, preparing to escape from the sight of the rebel cavalry before they could react.
But what Andrew didn't expect was that his horse had already run into the slope covered with volcanic ash. The rebel cavalry discovered his presence a little earlier than he expected, but the rebel knights did not even stop.
He meant to stay, so he chased him on horseback from under the huge rock.
The six rebel cavalry were like a giant net, wrapping around Andrew.
At this moment, Andrew's heart was extremely hot. He touched the butcher's ax on his body with some excitement, pulled the reins several times, turned around and fought back.
On your own territory, there is no reason to be chased around by these rebel cavalry.
Andrew felt a little excited, and he hit his chest twice with his fist.
Less than fifteen kilometers to the southwest, you can see the sulfur mine of the River of Lava, but Andrew is not prepared to lead the rebel cavalry there. Although there are four hundred kobold slaves there,
But facing such well-trained rebel knights, it is obviously useless.
If not done well, it will bring disaster to the villagers of Wall Village who supervise the kobold slaves.
So Andrew ran directly towards the south, and if he ran further ahead, he would reach the edge of the desert.
This is also the outermost boundary of Helensa City. Andrew is going to use his familiarity with the surrounding environment and use his horses to take full rest and have better physical strength than those of the rebel cavalry.
To pull apart, it is best to go alone or in groups of two.
Andrew took the opportunity to defeat the six rebel cavalry one by one.
He remembered that there were several large sand dunes connected together at the edge of the desert, and he initially pinned the battlefield there.
The large sand dune is easy to find. The most eye-catching symbol is a stone pillar nearly thirty meters high near the desert. This stone pillar stands so abruptly on the desert, and is covered with sandstones left behind by the wind and sand.
There are traces of stripes, and the entire stone pillar also shows a shuttle shape.
The war horses ran all the way, not only not throwing away the rebel cavalry, but also allowing the rebel cavalry to close the distance.
Those rebels didn't know what kind of training they had received. In such adversity, their potential was actually stronger than Andrew's.
Andrew was looking forward to running to the sand dunes as soon as possible. Anyone who came to the sand dunes for the first time would get lost in the surrounding large sand dunes.
Just when Andrew wanted to escape to the big sand dune, he saw the stone pillar from a distance. In addition to the stone pillar, he also vaguely saw a man fighting on the top of the stone pillar, but the distance was too far.
, it seems that the figure is just a small black dot.
Andrew couldn't think of anyone who would have the courage to climb that thirty-meter-high stone pillar. After being weathered for a long time, the stone pillar now looked shaky, making it even more dangerous to climb on it.
He was also worried that there was a group of rebels hiding there. If he was accidentally attacked by two rebel teams, it would be the most troublesome.
The thoughts went back and forth in Andrew's mind several times.
As he approached the stone pillar, the figure on the stone pillar gradually became clearer.
Just looking at the tight red leather armor and the hood that covered his face, Andrew completely put down his mental arithmetic. Before Suldak could send a signal to Samira, Samira was already sitting on a high stone pillar.
Found Andrew who was on the run here.
Samira made a familiar gesture to Andrew...
Andrew rode swiftly into the sand dunes, followed by the rebel cavalry behind him.
At the same time, they lost Andrew's figure in their sight, and several rebel cavalry felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.
They stopped outside the big sand dune and hesitated for a while. The leader of the rebel cavalry led one of his men to chase down the direction in which Andrew disappeared. The other four rebel cavalry were divided into two teams, going around from one left and one to the right.
Prepare to catch Andrew hiding in the sand dunes in one fell swoop.
The leader of the rebel cavalry was holding a spear in his hand. There was a scar on his face diagonally across the bridge of his nose. His face looked a bit ferocious. His face already showed a gray fatigue, and he continued to use his riding skills.
The secret method transfers one's physical strength to the war horse. After running such a long distance, the war horse is not only exhausted at this time, but even the rebel cavalry is extremely tired.
Andrew guessed that these rebel cavalry broke into pieces and sneaked into the Paglos Mountains and the deserted areas. They must be looking for some secrets.
The rebel leader was worried that if the news spread, it would attract more spies, so he bit Andrew and tried his best to keep him...
