A few kilometers away from Valliard, there was a group of people lying on the ground, enduring the torment of a sandstorm. However, this group of people was divided into two piles and lay in different places. Although the distance was not very far, it was only ten meters away.

The difference is only a few meters, but under this sandstorm, ten meters can already block the communication between the two groups of people.

"How long will it take for this damn weather to be over?"

This man is called Taote, and he has no surname, because he is a low-class person. His parents and ancestors should have been like this for generations. If he cannot achieve any military exploits, his descendants will be like him and cannot have a surname.

And now Taote, who came here with the idea of ​​establishing meritorious service and becoming a military noble, would most likely not be able to go back, and would have no chance of having descendants.

The backs of his hands, as well as his face, had been scraped red by the yellow sand. He could already see that there were red filaments in many places on his hands. Even under the protection of the national destiny, it was difficult for them to

It is still difficult to survive this kind of sandstorm.

"Captain, if you ask me, I don't know. The tour guide is dead. We don't know anything about the climate here. How do we know the specific situation?"

Taut was a captain of an army controlled by aristocratic families in the eastern region. He only had ten people under his command. Because this operation required caution and no publicity, Taut only selected three of his subordinates.

"...Can you go ask those people?"

When Taut heard this reply, he could not blame his men for their ineffectiveness.

Their grandfather's generation, and even earlier ancestors, all lived in the eastern green land of the Shurima continent. Although the nobles and businessmen always talked about how bad the weather in the Shurima continent was, life in the desert

Taote has no intuitive feeling about how hard it is for people.

People say that three-quarters of the land in Shurima is desert, but he has never seen a desert in the past ten years. Deserts that should be seen everywhere are like legendary existences to them.

Same.

It was his first time to come to the desert, and so did his men. They had already found a tour guide in Weikaola, and they passed through deserts in other areas smoothly along the way. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at this place, they suddenly encountered a sandstorm.

How long ago their guide was killed.

The strength of this tour guide was not good, he could only reach the third level, and his body seemed to be a little weak. He was scraped by the yellow sand for a day and was gone. Fortunately, before the tour guide died, he also told him the methods and precautions for surviving in this sandstorm.

Otherwise, they would not be able to meet another group of people alive.

"It's not impossible, but will it take too much energy? If something unexpected happens in the past, it will be difficult to handle later."

Another of Taut's subordinates spoke.

"Also, when we met before, we claimed to be another group of people from Garden City. We were unable to reach the City of the Sun because of a sudden sandstorm. If we ask them questions at this time, aren't we telling them that we are fakes?

?Moreover, once there is an accident on the road, our strength will be reduced out of thin air."

When Taut discovered that group of people, he knew that these people were from Garden City and were planning to go to the City of the Sun. According to the warnings of those aristocratic family gentlemen, he had to pretend that they were also from Garden City.

people, and then sneakily deal with them.

Whether someone on their side has an accident, or alerting others and making them doubt themselves, it will not be conducive to what they want to do next.

On the other side, those who came out of Garden City were also discussing similar issues.

"This storm has time

It’s a bit long, aren’t we experiencing a seven-day sandstorm that is rare in ten years?”

Jasper Adams did not expect to be so unlucky. As the second son of Carmen Adams, although he did not have much chance of inheriting the title and becoming the Marquis of Garden City, he was still indispensable for a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.

What's more, he chose to practice martial arts and became a general in Garden City. In the future, his eldest brother would have to rely on him, and outsiders would never be as confident as his own relatives.

After both Xueyin City and Zerima were captured by Sima Yi, their father Carmen Adams had the idea of ​​​​surrendering to the new country. Their garden city needed money but no money, no food, and a small population.

, the whole is at the level of an earldom, but it is the territory of their marquis family.

The Carmen family has actually wanted to leave Garden City for a long time, but without a fiefdom, what kind of nobles are the nobles who have left the fiefdom? This time, Carmen saw an opportunity and took refuge with Emperor Sima Yi. Their family would never be defeated.

Targeted, right?

It is not necessary to reuse it, but when Emperor Sima Yi unified the Shurima continent, these "loyal ministers" who took the initiative to join the army must have a good fiefdom, especially the land of Garden City, which is too poor.

.

For this reason, Carmen also sent her second son to the City of the Sun.

The second son does not need to inherit the title. To Carmen, he is just a "spare". Although he attaches great importance to him on weekdays, when he needs to be sacrificed, Carmen directly sends Jasper.

Moreover, his second son's martial arts skills were quite good, he was also a general himself, and with the protection of the national destiny, he had a good chance of surviving under the sandstorm.

In addition, he had to negotiate with Emperor Sima Yi in the City of the Sun, so the envoy's status could not be lowered, lest he be looked down upon by others, or Emperor Sima Yi thought they looked down on him.

"General, according to calculations, the sandstorm will stop tomorrow, and it will not be a seven-day sandstorm."

Jasper's adjutant conveyed the calculation information to Jasper.

Garden City has few people, small land, lack of money, and lack of food. The reason why Garden City can sustain for so long in this chaotic era is not only that other princes do not look down on the land of Garden City, but also because they have lived in Garden City for generations.

The city, through continuous management, has developed some special methods.

The other princes could only resign themselves to the sandstorms here, but the Adams family had a method of measuring the duration of the sandstorms. Although there was an error, the error was basically less than half a day, which could barely be said to be accurate.

Relying on this ability, the people of Garden City can calculate the most convenient time to go out, ensuring that their army can set off at a time when there is no sandstorm, and then quickly withdraw when there is no sandstorm. However, it is difficult for the armies of other princes to attack Garden City.

That's an exaggeration.

It was this time that, for some reason, a sandstorm suddenly came and trapped them in the sandstorm.

"Fortunately, it's not a seven-day sandstorm. Otherwise, this would have been a sudden sandstorm. If it kills us, it will be a warning from God not to surrender to the new country. Some families in the city will probably make trouble again."

Jasper was exposed outside, and the skin attacked by the sand was slightly red. It seemed that the sandstorm had not had a great impact on him.

The actual situation is also the same. With his fifth-level strength and the blessing of national destiny, a simple sandstorm can no longer kill him. However, sandstorms do not kill people just by relying on the wind and sand.

After all, Jasper is just a mortal. A lot of supplies have been blown away in the past few days. There is only one day of food and water left. If there is a sandstorm in seven days, he may be

He died of thirst and starvation while holding his intact body.

"So, General, what are we going to do tomorrow? Those people didn't recognize you. There is no way they are soldiers from Garden City."

The adjutant reminded Jasper that it was time to discuss countermeasures. The sandstorm would end tomorrow. They didn't know if those people had the means to measure the duration of the sandstorm. It would be bad if someone else took advantage of him first.

"Do you think we need living or dead people?"

Jasper didn't think that the guys over there could defeat him. They had a large number of people, and he, a fifth-level powerhouse, had absolutely no chance of defeating them head-on.

The only worry is that the other party has other weird methods. Without those methods, wouldn't it all depend on whether those people live or die?

"It is safer to die. We are going to the City of the Sun. If we are negligent along the way, these guys with evil intentions may break free and attack us."

The adjutant expressed his thoughts, and then Jasper interrupted,

"So, we have to kill them tomorrow, right?"

Jasper touched the soft sword on his waist. This was a weapon and equipment specially manufactured in Garden City. Basically, people in other cities did not have this kind of sword.

This kind of soft sword can be inserted into their belts. It is light and easy to carry, and is not easy to lose. The purpose is to still have weapons to fight with others after encountering a sandstorm.

As for the original weapons, you can just pick them up when you return to Garden City. They will be sent back by the desert anyway.

Moreover, when a sandstorm comes, the first priority is undoubtedly to protect materials, and protect as much dry food and water as possible. Weapons? Why keep those things? Can they be eaten? Just throw them aside.

And this desert is moving, and the weapons they discarded were swallowed up by the desert at some point.

Most outsiders don't understand this. When they start tomorrow, their chances of winning will increase by 10%.

"That's not necessarily true. It mainly depends on you. These people pretending to be our Garden City must have ulterior motives. If we capture them alive and hand them over to Emperor Sima Yi, we might be able to achieve some miraculous effects."

The adjutant couldn't figure out what these people were here for, but there was nothing wrong with his mind. Those who could survive the sandstorm must be soldiers. Soldiers were nothing more than soldiers from noble families, soldiers from princes, and soldiers from Emperor Sima Yi.

Soldier.

The first two types must have bad ideas, or they just don't want Garden City to surrender to the new country, so they come to cause trouble. These people will be killed if they want to be killed. The latter type may be Emperor Sima Yi who came to negotiate with Garden City.

, to discuss some matters, these people can be killed but not killed.

To be on the safe side, it is better to capture these people alive, what if they are Emperor Sima Yi's people?

"In that case, let's capture them alive."

When Jasper heard the word "miraculous effect", he felt his blood boiling. He liked "miracle" because he was the second son. He had to have a different position from his eldest brother. The greater the gap, the more he could get.

The attention, the size is like this.

If he is the same as his eldest brother, then he is his eldest brother's competitor for inheriting the title, and will definitely be targeted by his eldest brother, and may even be eliminated. If the position is different, there will not be many people supporting him to inherit the title.
