Chapter 743 Desert Operation

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
When the iron axe closes his eyes, he can feel the smell of being surrounded by yellow sand.

This was his fourth day into the desert and the third week after the First Army left Wu Winter City.

After this week, the winter will be two-thirds and enter the coldest winter twilight.

However, compared to the West Grey Castle, which is always snowy, it is much less affected by the evil moon. Although the sky has always appeared a depressing gray, at least it is gone with the biting north wind and the ice and snow that are enough to freeze the entire desert.

Since Yinchuan does not converge with any river and most of the water flows pass through the ground, the army can only advance by foot.

Iron Axe did not wait for the 500 new recruits stationed in Cliff City to prepare for the march as well, and then formed a large force to operate in a unified manner. Instead, he threw those people to Brian and took the lead and tried to rush to Iron Salt City as soon as possible.

The recruits may be fine standing there and pulling the trigger, but the continuous hiking will only cause them to be buried in the sea of ​​sand.And even if these five hundred people are added, it will not be of much help to the situation.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to achieve His Majesty's goal, he could not obtain it by strong artillery attack. The first army was to ensure the capital of the fruits of victory, not a means to conquer the sand people.

The Mojin people have a traditional solution.

As for the five hundred new recruits, just do a simple job of seizing the Yinchuan Oasis and ensuring that the forefront troops are not attacked from front and back.

In the extreme south, an oasis means a lifeline. Whether it is attack or escape, it is inseparable from the supply of the oasis.

Facing the veterans who marched neatly, even if they had never seen the power of muskets, the tribal sand people could feel the power emitted from them.

No one stood up along the way to question the army from Grayburg. Only when the sand people set off again after filling the water bags and replenishing food, did the sand people whisper behind their backs.

At this speed, the First Army should be able to reach the foot of Iron Sha City before nightfall today.

I don’t quite understand that the so-called sacred duel can be initiated at any time in any season or in any period?A woman with beautiful blonde hair walked to Echo. Her fair skin formed a sharp contrast with the Aosha clan princess. Even the honorary challenge between the nobles was allowed to refuse. After all, everyone was in a bad state.In such cold weather, anyone wants to sleep by the warm stove all day instead of coming out to fight and kill, right?What I mean is...what if someone doesn't agree to the sacred duel?

Iron Axe remembers that her name is Andrea, a fighting witch who often follows His Highness Tilly. According to His Majesty, there was originally only one foreign player, ashes, but for some reason, she finally followed her.

When someone picks up the axe and rushes into your residence and kicks over your stove, it won’t work even if he doesn’t want to fight and kill.Ashes curled his lips. Do you think this battle that determines the life and death of a clan to some extent will follow the hypocritical set of principles among the nobles?

That is called sneak attack or massacre, not duels. Andrea said disdainfully, even if the Mojin people are barbarians, they cannot even be able to distinguish this.Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you?

Saying this in front of the echo, you are really a talented person.

Don't misinterpret what I mean!

Iron Axe didn't care about the barbarians. The border town did not care about its origins. This was what His Majesty said to him personally.Compared to the Mojin people, he has another more important identity, that is, the residents of Wudongcheng.

It was not until the echo came to him for help that he coughed twice and explained actively that Miss Andrea's concerns were not too much. Although the holy duel cannot be rejected and must be recognized by the three gods when both sides were prepared properly, duels cannot be initiated just by wanting to start. First of all, the challenger must be qualified for the duel.

What kind of qualifications?

First, it must be a complete Mojin clan.Iron Axe briefly introduced that a person cannot represent a clan, even a patriarch or a princess is the same.This rule is to avoid the fact that only a few dozen winners occupy one-sixth of the territory of Iron Salt City.In addition, it also excludes foreigners from duels. Iron Sha City allows foreigners to fight on behalf of the clan, but does not allow them to occupy core power.

Doesn’t that mean that we are not qualified to initiate it at all?Ashes raised his eyebrows and said, Echo has been exiled for several years, and the Aosha clan no longer exists. Or should we start with finding her survivors?

No one can survive in the Endless Cape, Iron Axe shook his head, but we can change the way, such as making Lord Silver Moon the patriarch of a new clan.

This is... OK?Andrea said in a daze.

Mo Jin people do not value bloodline as much as you do. Compared with bloodline inheritance, strength is the most important thing.The commander-in-chief of the First Army said calmly that after meeting the previous condition, any clan that can gain a foothold in the small oasis around Iron Sa City is equivalent to having the qualification to fight.There are four of these small oasis in total, and the newly emerging clans usually fight around them, without rules and no restrictions, so these four places are also called the blood-stained land.

They are equivalent to admission tickets, right?Ashes didn't care at all.

It can be believed that in fact, these clans are generally divided into two categories: Iron Axe Pause, Challenger... and Watchdog.

Watchdog?The blonde witch said strangely.

It is the obstacles set by those top clans who do not want to see the order of Iron Sa City undergo a major change.This time, she was answered by echoes. With their huge resources and influence, they recruited a large number of warriors to form a mixed clan and took root in a small oasis.The watchdog will not send a sacred duel to the owner, but it occupies the challenger's position. Although it cannot enter the Iron Sand City, it can live well with the water and food provided by the small oasis.

It sounds like a hunting dog willing to eat leftovers. Ashes sneered, and this description is appropriate.

Since the sacred duel is full of variables, the great clans will win over or buy potential challengers who enter the Bloody Land.My father was unwilling to act as a watchdog and insisted on launching a sacred duel against the Iron Whip Clan, but in the end... the echo sound fell, obviously thinking of sad things.

They would pay the price for the insidious behavior of that year, Lord Silver Moon, Iron Axe comforted that now, death is not far from them.

So we have to find a challenger first, then let Echo replace the other party's clan leader, and then initiate a duel request for the six major clans?Andrea asked.

Once a person becomes more comfortable, he will lose the motivation to move forward, so if he occupyes a small oasis and does not challenge immediately, he will most likely become a new watchdog.After that, it will not be so easy whether it is to convince them with words or to suppress them with strength.Iron Axe said slowly, we came with thunder and gifts at the order of His Majesty the King, and there is no need to be such trouble.No matter how inconspicuous a clan is, it will become unstoppable with the support of the First Army.If anyone dares to stop him, they will be crushed into powder.
