A black smoke column rose into the sky, and another oasis was wiped out by Surdak in the desert.
Maybe an oasis will reappear here in a few years, or maybe it will be completely swallowed up by yellow sand, but at least in the next few years, it is unlikely that this place will become a livable place.
In order to protect the deserted land from the intrusion of sand bandits, Surdak wanted to clear this desert into an uninhabited buffer zone. At least this desert would no longer have a habitat for bandits, otherwise they would always be there in the winter.
Sometimes I hide here. When I reach this remote place, I will remember that there are a group of weak and defenseless villagers living in the deserted land.
They are wolves, and robbery is a natural law in the desert for these sand bandits.
The Sand Pirates occupy the upper reaches of the food chain. Not only do they have to collect food from the villagers, but when they are short of manpower, they also select young people from the villagers to join them. This is how the Sand Pirates have been living for so many years.
In total, the population in the entire deserted land probably does not exceed 2,500 people.
This time Surdak was on the edge of the desert in the deserted land, and he killed more than a thousand sand bandits alone.
In fact, these sand thieves do not live here all year round. Most of the sand thieves come here to escape this long winter.
They were expelled from the central area of the desert and could only hide and recuperate on the edge of a deserted land with few resources. When the weather gets warmer, they would be able to try to cross the large desert, or enter the Paglos Mountains, or sneak into Salva
The vast grasslands in the southern part of the province were used to strengthen their own strength and make a comeback in the desert.
They do not mainly rely on the deserted land for their supplies. The products here cannot support so many sand thieves.
Sand bandits often plunder the nomads in Salta Province, and also harass the mountain people in the central mountains of the Paglos Mountains. They come here just to rely on a small desert oasis to spend the cold winter. This place is remote and uninhabited.
People disturb.
They would occasionally come out to raid on sunny days, so the villagers in the deserted land became the targets of their plunder.
The sand pirates never thought that the homeless people and poor villagers in the deserted land would be organized into an army, let alone that this army without any training would suddenly rush into the edge of the desert and fight with them.
A group of mercenaries joined forces to wipe out the bandits here, and they didn't even have any precautions...
Baron Surdak became the Sheriff of the Desolate Land. Some sand bandits had heard of it, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Of course, most of the sand bandits had never even heard of the name Surdak.
This year, the sand pirates who were expelled from the center of the desert still chose to spend the winter on the edge of the desert. Although they had stored some supplies for the winter, they still occasionally looted in the deserted land. Perhaps this has become their habit. After all, no one would
Too much money...
And now, in just half a month, the name 'Baron Suldak' has almost become a nightmare in the ears of all desert bandits. He not only kills people, but even destroys the desert bandits' livelihood.
of oasis.
All the sand bandits who wanted to go to war with Surdak suffered a lot, and many leaders of the sand bandits failed to leave the battlefield alive.
Suldak’s army was unstoppable in the desert...
…
Selena sat lazily on a white camel, with a white fur cloak wrapped around her body. Under the winter light, her face still looked unusually pale.
There was a thick blanket on the camel's back. Although the wind was freezing in the desert, she felt warm lying on the blanket. From time to time, Surdak would come to her on horseback and chat with her.
The last two sentences.
Selena suddenly felt that such a day was not bad, at least she could see the outside world.
Her skin is snow-white, her blue eyes are like the clear sweet pool in the sweet water oasis, and her sexy lips are slightly upturned. She has been enduring the backlash of darkness in the past few days.
At night, she invoked the power of darkness beyond her own abilities, causing extreme chaos in the power of darkness in her body. After a few days of cultivation, she was much better.
She liked Surdak's caring eyes, and she liked that on such a lonely journey, he would come over to say a few words from time to time.
Even a greeting like "Are you cold" or "Are you tired" made her feel very happy.
She expected that every time when the sun set, the soldiers would quickly set up the camp, and he would carry her into the tent. Outside the tent, there was a howling wind and snow from the north, but the inside of the tent was rolled by waves...
They walked for nearly half a month and still did not leave the southern edge of the desert. This desert was much larger than everyone thought.
The sand bandits here are like a swarm of locusts. No matter where Surdak's army goes, the sand bandits will disperse in a swarm.
In the end, it can only destroy the oasis they rely on for survival and drive them back to the depths of the desert.
…
Weiru sat on the sand dune and looked at the sky after sunset, which looked like it was on fire.
He knew who dominated the battlefield that night.
It's not Surdak and his two hundred veterans in heavy armor, nor Captain Gabri and his brave and skilled mercenaries, nor himself who hides in the dark and can only shoot cold arrows, but the man who rides
The woman with the white camel, I didn’t expect that she was actually a magician...
He touched the scorching bow in his hand, and the warmth flowed into his body along with his arm. After eating so much fire lizard meat, Viru finally gained affinity with the fire element. The fire element originally flowing in his body was like hot magma.
, and now those fire elements are more like a hot spring that can nourish the body. Every time he fights these days, he seems to be able to break through that barrier and enter a new world.
But he always suppressed the restlessness in his body at critical moments.
He found that every time he entered that state, it was an exercise for his body, just like removing impurities from the body, making the power in the body more pure.
In recent times, he has used the eagle eye's "terrestrial vision" to look around the desert, and found that the distance at which he can see has been significantly increased.
Showing his "power", the sharp arrow floating behind him became clearer and clearer, and he could even see the mysterious magic lines on the arrow shaft.
It seemed as if there was a kind of vitality in his body, allowing him to realize the power of the laws of this world.
Surdak walked up the sand dune, leaving a clear row of footprints on the snow. Under the dune, the veterans of the cavalry battalion and the reserve knights of the guard battalion were busy setting up tents. At this moment, they learned to cooperate with each other and built a tent on the sand.
A gray and white tent.
He sat next to Weiru and looked at the sunset in the distance.
After Suldak possessed the Dragon's Throat Bone, his body built a bridge with the magical elements of the outside world. Although he could not mobilize the power of the elements around him, he could clearly feel them. At this moment, he saw Viru next to him
It was surrounded by a lot of fire clouds and fighting spirit.
Of course, he cannot have this kind of vision all the time. In that case, Surdak estimates that he will go crazy soon.
"Do you occasionally have a mysterious feeling? It's like being in some kind of river of elements. There are always countless elements flowing slowly around us?" Surdak asked Weilu, his
His eyes were in the distance.
"Why...you also have this level of understanding?" Viru has never seen Surdak wearing a magic pattern structure, and thought that he did not have enough carrying capacity, so he did not expect that Surdak would be a first-class person.
A knight in his prime.
“Beside me, what I can feel the most is the holy light.” Surdak said to Weiru with a smile.
Vilu turned to look at Suldak's resolute profile and couldn't help but ask: "When did you feel the power of the Holy Light?"
"In the Warsaw plane, that time I was carried out from the footprints of the Thunder Rhinoceros. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a tent. At that time, all I could do every day was lie in the tent, endure the severe pain, and listen to the sounds outside.
Various sounds, waiting for the soldiers to return to the tent and feed me, and occasionally I would feel certain points in my body slowly awakening. At that time, I could feel the power of the holy light in my body..." Surda
Ke softly recounted his complete memories.
Viru reached out and pulled Rasuldak's collar and saw the burn scars spreading on his neck.
"Then you..." Weiru's eyes were like sharp arrows.
Surdak turned his head with a smile and said calmly to Weilu: "Since then, I have had two completely different memories. All memories to me are fragmented pictures, like some
It's the same as the relief scroll, but some profound things still make my memory vague. I think this may be the new life given to me by the gods, so I no longer persist in looking for the past. People are destined to look forward in life, aren't they?"
Viru asked Surdak: "So...you ran here and became the famous Baron Surdak in the deserted land..."
Suldak nodded and said: "These are the promises made during the face-to-face meeting in Warsaw. This may be another form of continuation of his life."
Vilu clenched his fists, stared at Suldak and asked, "So you are no longer the Jonbach I am looking for, are you?"
"Not any more."
After Suldak finished speaking, he stood up and walked down the sand dune without looking back.
…
Weiru felt that the last obsession in his heart had disappeared, and there was no longer any power to restrain his thoughts in his spiritual consciousness.
The energy in his body seemed to form a barrier, like a transparent egg around his body. The power that had been suppressed for a long time in his body turned into a crazy storm and destroyed his body. At the same time, countless powerful vitality appeared again.
Powerful energy surged out of his body, allowing his body to heal quickly. Every cell in his healed body contained new strength.
Countless fire elements gathered in his hands, and his hands and the scorching bow were ignited with scorching flames. He stood on the top of the sand dune, as if he could kill Surdak in front of him with a casual arrow. His aura strengthened little by little,
The shadow of the huge arrow behind him expanded as if it were the trunk of a towering ancient tree.
The sea of spiritual consciousness continued to spread outward, and he realized the power of some of the most basic laws of this world, which are also the origin of this world.
The bandages wrapped around the body are constantly falling apart under the strong vitality.
The dark wounds originally deposited on his body quickly dissipated under the powerful vitality.
Standing on the sand dune, he saw the door to another world. He knew that it was the door to the elemental world. Magicians needed to open the door to the elemental world and find a contract partner in the elemental world. With an elemental contract partner,
Only by using the body of the elemental contract partner as a bridge can we draw more magical elements from this world.
For warriors, they need to temper themselves. When their bodies reach a certain strength, their bodies can become a bridge to contact external forces, absorbing the surrounding non-attribute elements and becoming the fighting spirit in their bodies.
Suddenly these two situations appeared to Weiru at the same time...
His body was reborn under the powerful vitality, and a door to the elemental world also appeared in front of him.
So without any hesitation, he directly pushed open the door of the elemental world with both hands, and walked into the strange world with many strange elemental life forms. Countless elemental elves with the attributes of feng shui, earth, light and darkness saw Vilu.
Then they ran away in all directions, leaving only a few fire elves as tiny as dancing flames flying around Velu, like dancing butterflies.
Weiru looked at the fragile fire elemental elves and ignored them.
After entering the elemental world, he realized that he could not stay in this world for too long. He had to find a contract partner within a limited time and then return to the original world as soon as possible, otherwise his body would melt away in this world.
Going deep into the elemental world, he saw a group of firebirds flying all over the sky, covering the sky. These firebirds, which were as big as sparrows, landed on his shoulders one after another, staring at him curiously with their ruby-like eyes.
Although Weiru had some movements, he still did not reach out to communicate with them.
He planned to continue walking into the elemental world. This world seemed to be a road with no end. The elemental elves that were repelled by the body had disappeared. Only groups of weak fire elemental elves were attracted to him.
, there are some colorful umbrella-shaped mushrooms on both sides of the road, which are static forms formed by the power of elements.
He shuttled among countless fire element elves, looking for his contract partner.
At this time, he suddenly felt that his body began to melt continuously, and the door to the elemental world behind him opened again. He knew that he should leave, otherwise he would be dissolved by the power of the laws of the elemental world.
Just when he was considering whether to take away a fire bird that was surrounding him, he suddenly saw a fire snake with flying wings passing by him like an afterimage. Viru quickly took the snake with his eyes and hands.
Holding the fire snake in his hand, watching the fire snake spiraling up his arm, Viru no longer dared to stay in the elemental world, stepped out of the elemental gate, and returned to the sand dune.
The fire snake he grabbed disappeared the moment he stepped out of the door. All the bandages on his arms turned into ashes. The arms that originally had some cyan scales quickly transformed. After the scales fell off, they were actually exposed.
He had a strong bronze arm, but there was a tattoo of a fire snake with wings spread out on the arm, and those flame textures were constantly glowing.
Viru stood on the sand dunes and looked at the world in front of him again. Although the surrounding scenery had not changed at all, the world in his eyes was completely different.
The fire snake demon pattern on the arm began to absorb the fire element in the air, and the entire arm turned red. Weiru took a bow and shot an arrow. The moment an arrow left the scorching bow, it actually turned into a flying fire snake in the air.
