Jared was suffocating like a toad holding his breath. Tony hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have something to do, we'll bother you another day."
"I'm sorry." Jared had no intention of staying, and said:
"According to our information, there are not many demon hunting groups that have received the mission of the Saint's Scepter. There are nineteen groups in total. Several groups have already entered the desert, and Qing Dog is likely to be hidden among them. We have a total of six hunting groups in the alliance this time.
All demon groups can eliminate suspicion 100% and have certain strength. After entering the desert, everyone exchanges information and takes care of each other. In the end, no matter who gets the saint's scepter, he must give certain compensation to the other five families..."
Yeze and Tony both nodded in agreement, chatted for a few more words, and then said goodbye to Jared.
"Captain Yeze, isn't your station in the city?" Tony felt a little strange when he saw that Yeze was walking in a different direction than himself.
"Hahaha..." Ye Ze laughed dryly and said, "Since Qing Quan may enter the desert first, I plan to act as a vanguard for our alliance and go in early to explore the situation."
"Captain Yeze is a great righteous man!" Tony raised his thumb and said, "But that would be too dangerous, so let's wait for everyone to come together."
"No, the scale of the Dark Hand cannot compare with yours, and what it can do is limited. If you don't even have this responsibility, you will be ashamed to meet your allies." Yeze Dayi Lingran: "I'll go first, see you in the desert
.”
Yeze summoned Zuolin to leave, and Tony's honest face gradually darkened.
"The Hand of Light has such a good plan." Tony snorted coldly. Looking at Ye Ze's back, he muttered to himself: "Going in first will save you from being cannon fodder for the Hand of Light, but it is too dangerous. This Ye Ze,
What are you thinking about..."
……………………
The Red Canyon is also the base camp of the Second Army. The entrance to the valley is the entrance to the desert and the gate to the military camp.
Zou Lin was walking very fast, and when Ye Ze arrived at the Red Canyon, he happened to see Sanchez who had left earlier.
Sanchez also saw Yeze, but was obviously unwilling to pay attention to him, so he urged his horse to go inside. Yeze recalled the conversation between Jared and Sanchez, rolled his eyes, put away Zilin, and shouted while running:
"General Sanchez, stay!"
Sanchez had no choice but to stop and said: "Commander Yeze, do you want to enter the desert?"
Sanchez's original intention was to just excuse himself and leave, going to see the legion commander to report the theft of the Hand of Light sand camels. More than a thousand sand camels were stolen, and the ones stolen were from a demon hunting group with a royal background, so he couldn't help but ignore it. But.
However, Yeze seemed not to see his impatient expression and came over with a smile.
"Yeah, let's go into the desert." Yeze said with a shy face: "My team members were so unorganized and undisciplined that they went in first and left me as the team leader behind. The first time I came here, I didn't know the way.
You happen to be here, could you please guide me conveniently?"
Sanchez frowned. After last night's battle, Sanchez's view of Ye Ze had changed slightly. But now that he saw Ye Ze's shameless attitude, the resentment he had just suppressed surged up again, and became even stronger.
"I have military duties, but you can find others to help you..."
Before Sanchez could refuse, Ye Ze interrupted again: "Don't you still remember the duel last night? Manly man, be more open-minded. I just want to make friends with you..."
Who the hell wants to be friends with a scoundrel like you!
Sanchez wanted to say this. But as a division commander, with so many soldiers watching around him, it was not easy to be a "not open-minded" person.
"Captain Yeze is joking." If possible, Sanchez really wanted to hold his nose and talk to Yeze. He turned around and said, "Come here, bring Captain Yeze a horse."
A soldier led a horse, and Yeze got on the horse and entered the Second Army's camp with Sanchez.
The second army camp is divided into two parts. The inner camp is in a depression in the middle of the canyon, which is the residence of the army leaders. The outer camp is mostly the tents of ordinary soldiers, with a specially opened road and obvious warning lines. If you want to enter the desert
, it must pass through the entire military camp except the inner camp.
This kind of camping method is a taboo for military strategists. However, since the beast demon craze 500 years ago, successive garrisons have camped like this to prove the empire's determination to protect the people. This move won a lot for the Northern Frost Empire.
of the people's hearts.
Yeze chatted with Sanchez all the way, but Sanchez was having a hard time dealing with it. With Sanchez following him, they passed through many checkpoints without even checking them. Soon, they reached the last checkpoint.
The last level is a city wall made of fine steel, spanning the entire canyon and more than a hundred meters high. Because it has been baked by the desert heat wave for a long time, it is like a big furnace. It feels like a big furnace even though it is far away.
Heat wave.
"This is it. Beyond the city wall is the Desert of Despair." Sanchez said with some urgency: "Captain Yeze has invited himself in, but I won't send him away."
"Thank you, General Sanchez." Yeze clasped his fists: "When I come back, I will have a drink with the general."
Sanchez couldn't help but feel nauseated again. After a few words of explanation to an officer, he turned and left without looking back.
……………………
The strong, bare-chested soldiers, who were more than ten meters tall, ran to a huge turntable bolt protruding from the ground, held the wooden poles on it, and followed the officer's command to push it hard.
The soldiers' muscles bulged, they shouted slogans, and they pushed the bolts.
At the same time, a huge iron gate slowly rose up on a part of the city wall. Yeze didn't know how heavy it was, but looking at the fifty or sixty-meter-tall one, it was safe to slap him flat.
After the iron gate was raised, a three-meter-square doorway was revealed.
Yeze said goodbye to the officer and walked slowly...
……………………
On the other side of the steel wall, the heat wave was raging and red sand was everywhere. It was like hell.
Ye Ze bent down, grabbed a handful of red sand, and slowly sprinkled it.
The Desert of Despair is different from other deserts in that the color of the sand is dark red. It is difficult for ordinary people to take a step just looking at this scene. The Desert of Despair is indeed a place that easily makes people feel despair.
Yeze vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but smile: "Hickly."
"Captain!" Hickory licked his dry lips and smiled.
Ye Ze looked at the red sand buried under Hickli's feet, patted his shoulder and said nothing.
No need to guess, Ye Ze knew that Hickli must have been standing here waiting for him since he came in, and never left. Hickli has excellent archery skills, and in the Dark Hand Demon Hunting Group, his strength can only be regarded as above average.
When it comes to loyalty to Ye Ze, no one dares to call him number one if he is number two.
Ye Ze followed Hickli to the edge of the canyon, and saw other people in the shadow behind a tall rock.
Elaine, Angelina, Maris, Fakhla, the six fat guys...
The whole Dark Hand group, plus the guide Snake, there are many of them.
Ye Ze looked at the six little fat guys and sighed: "You guys are still disobedient."
Huo Ling pouted and said: "We are the first members of the Hand of Darkness, but we have failed to catch up with major events several times. This time, you can't even think of leaving us behind."
Stan said: "Teacher, you know our strength and will not hold us back."
"That's right, we are very strong!" Huo Lin waved his fist.
"Otherwise, we can have a ranking match." Zatanna suggested: "We will definitely not be at the bottom."
Berners patted his big belly and said: "Our survivability is not bad. This is equivalent to the hump of a sand camel."
Mogolin was a little scared and forgot to glance at the depths of the desert, and whispered: "I think..."
"Shut up!" the other five fat men said in unison, silencing Mogolin who had the tradition of having a crow's mouth.
"Okay, I'll take you with me. But you must obey the command!" Ye Ze threatened with a glare: "If you don't obey, I will bury him in the sand. When I return, I will dig him out!"
The little fat guys were excited, and they nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
Ye Ze scanned the members, his eyes paused slightly on an archer, and finally fell on Maris's face, asking: "Where is the Shatuo?"
"Here."
Yeze followed Maris to the depression on the edge of the canyon. He saw hundreds of sand camels gathered there leisurely, most of them carrying heavy baggage.
"Isn't the number wrong? Didn't it say there were more than a thousand?" Ye Ze roughly counted and found that there were only two or three hundred.
Snake said: "Too many sand camels will be a burden. There are three hundred here, which is just right."
"Where are the rest?" Ye Ze asked.
"Give it to the garrison." Angelina said: "The army also has a need for sand camels, and they control this place. Giving it to them will do no harm to us."
Angelina paused and continued: "It's my suggestion. If you are not satisfied, I will compensate you after leaving."
"What the hell. It's too late to praise you, how could you be dissatisfied..." Yeze said with some relief: "This is a beautiful thing. When I get back, I have to thank you..."
Angelina's eyes flashed, and when she was about to say something, Elaine suddenly came over, hugged Angelina's neck, and said with a charming smile: "Little Angelina, it's not anyone else's turn to thank you.
Wait until you get back..."
Angelina jumped out of her wits, blocked Elaine's arm, and instantly dodged more than ten meters.
Elaine pouted, glared at Yeze and said, "It's all you who scared her away again."
Ye Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, not noticing the cunning light in Elaine's eyes.
Seeing that most of the people were wearing straw hats and face towels to protect them from the wind and sand, Ye Ze patted his head and asked Hickory: "I almost forgot, have you brought the potions I asked Susan to prepare?"
Hickory nodded, unloaded a large package from the back of a sand camel, and carried it over. After opening it, it was all filled with kettles.
Yeze picked up one and poured some into the palm of his hand. It was a milky white viscous liquid.
Looking at everyone's confused looks, Yeze said proudly: "This is a sunscreen. It can prevent ultraviolet rays and keep the skin hydrated."
"What do you mean?" Maris looked confused, and the others also looked at each other.
"It's not easy to tan, and it can also prevent skin from drying out." Yeze explained: "One pot for each man, three pots for each woman, so save on it..." (To be continued. If you like this work,
