There are no trees and few rocks in the desert. The motorcade can only stop the wind and sand by means of carriages.
The soldiers put on their own armor again. Without the protection of hard iron sheets, the sand alone at night can make everyone's skin bloom.
Because firewood was scarce and the temperature was very low, the campfire was not lit, but several torches were set off around the carriage for lighting.
The soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them and swallowed the water in the kettle.
The nobles are better than them. There is no shortage of dried meat and fruit for the time being.
After dinner, the soldiers began to stand guard in turn. The experienced soldiers buried themselves under the sand, revealing only half of their bodies.
Soon after it was dark, the temperature plummeted, and only the sand remained at a certain temperature. This is one of the few ways for soldiers to keep out the cold.
Locke naturally doesn't have to lie in the sand to make do. As soon as the Roma Knight left, Angelina was the largest in the team. According to her identity alone, Locke ranked third, and there was no need to hide. Angelina had said hello in advance during the day and let him pass.
Lying comfortably in the carriage driven by the princess, the fur of some precious animal is spread under her body, which is very soft.
Angelina is having dinner. She took cherries from home and picked blueberries when she passed through melmos jungle. It is the staple food of the princess.
Angelina's snow-white skin has been tanned by the poisonous sun these days. According to her words, eating more fruit is good for the skin.
Locke doesn't know if it's true. Anyway, every time he comes, he always brings some back to Leia and grace. Of course, the explanation for Angelina is to take it back and have a taste.
Believe it or not, Locke did.
"How long will it take?" Angelina holds a handful of cherries in her slender jade fingers. The red cherries are held in her mouth and licked with her tender tongue. Most of Locke's attention is in Angelina's mouth.
Seeing Locke's stupidity, Angelina smiled and patted him, and Locke came back.
"Ah, we've just walked a third of the way. It's estimated that it will take half a month to go out." Locke said.
"It will take half a month." Angelina sighed.
Angelina couldn't stand it just a week after she entered the jutusen desert. The little girl Christine didn't complain. Locke felt that her days in the Bering mountains were more difficult than at this time. At that time, Angelina was much stronger than now.
It was getting darker and darker. The yellow dust in the sky was replaced by the night. In the carriage, Locke's ears were full of the sound of sand blowing on the window.
"I'll go out and have a look!" Locke got up and tidied up his armor. He was the vice captain of the team. It was necessary to patrol the camp at night. The wind and sand outside was so bad that he needed to go out and have a look.
"Well, go." Angelina put down the unfinished cherry and took out her thick magic book.
Locke got down from the princess carriage in neat clothes and called several soldiers stationed nearby to go with him.
"Where's the knight bender?" Locke asked the soldiers that bender was his adjutant. Generally, he ordered the whole team through bender.
"Lord bender is outside the carriage discussing with the commander of the forbidden guard about the guard tonight." Said a leading Sergeant among the soldiers.
"Yes." Locke nodded and led them to bender.
Outside the carriage, bender talked to a man in an iron armor. "Lord Aslan, there seems to be something wrong with the wind and sand tonight."
"Well, it's really abnormal." The iron armored man has a dignified complexion. He is Aslan, the leader of the forbidden guard who escorts the princess. He is a strong man of high-level attendant level.
"I hope you can cheer up the soldiers and ensure that there will be no mistakes tonight." Said bender.
"No problem!" Aslan nodded.
Bender is just a noble knight. His title and strength are far worse than Aslan. It can only be said that he was lucky to be Locke's adjutant.
Viscount cage, the chief captain of the mission, was seldom in charge, and Locke, the vice captain, was too lazy to do it himself. Many orders were issued by bender.
If he had just left flor city and learned that he was an adjutant to a young man under the age of 20, bender would still have an idea, but now he doesn't have it. This qualification alone can make bender useful all his life.
"How's the defense?" Far away, Locke's voice came.
The distance from Angelina's carriage to the periphery of the team was less than 100 meters. For such a short distance, Locke walked very hard. Countless sand rushed to his face under the strong wind. Fortunately, his helmet blocked most of it, but it also made him eat a mouthful of dust.
When Locke approached, aide bender said, "commander Aslan has arranged everything."
"You worked hard!" Locke came forward and shook Aslan's hand. He knew that it was a real high-ranking attendant. It seemed to him that he was a little better than the knight of will.
If the guards are well deployed, there will be nothing wrong with Locke. The dark guards have their own captain. They won't listen to anyone except Angelina.
At night, Locke held Angelina sleeping.
Because of Angelina's noble status, they have not reached the last step, but snuggle up like lovers.
Suddenly, Locke's ears moved.
"What sound?" Locke seemed to hear bursts of "rustle, rustle..." His voice, he thought it was his illusion.
Immediately, the sound became clear, like the sound of some kind of arthropod crawling.
Angelina opened her eyes. She was also awakened by the sound, not an illusion.
"I'll go out and have a look!" Locke patted Angelina's body and motioned her not to move.
When they got out of the carriage, most of the soldiers in the camp had woken up. People came and came, and there were orders from the officers.
"What's going on?" Rocla asked in a frozen voice, stopping a soldier passing by him.
The soldier recognized Locke's identity and immediately said, "I don't know. It seems that a pile of demonized creatures have gathered outside the camp."
When the soldier was sent away, Locke was lost in thought and demonized the creature. What he saw now was half of the flood salt crab by the lake in the Bering mountains, and the appearance of the moonlight wolf before entering the steps.
With the strength of his current low-level attendants, combined with strong armor and sharp long sword, it is not a problem to deal with two low-level Warcraft at the same time. He thinks it is not a problem to demonize less than five creatures.
Is there a gathering of demonized creatures outside the camp? Fastening the gap between the armor, Locke held his long sword and walked out.
At the periphery of the carriage, the soldiers of the forbidden guards have set up their long guns and are ready. In the interior, they are members of the dark guards. These dark guards form the second and third lines of defense of the camp, vaguely centered on the carriage where Angelina lives.
Viscount cage and others were standing in the center of the forbidden guard to discuss something. Locke was just about to pass by, and countless drops of yellow liquid were suddenly sprinkled in the sky.
Under the condition of reflection, Locke waved his arm shield for a block. The arm shield mixed with some precious materials made a slight "Zi, Zi, Zi" sound after being hit by the liquid, and a circle of insignificant dents appeared on the arm shield.
The soldiers of the forbidden guards were all wearing iron armor. When they were touched by the yellow liquid, the visual feeling of "stabbing, stabbing" acid corroding steel appeared. Fortunately, the amount of acid was not much. Only one third of their armor was corroded, which did not cause substantive damage to the soldiers.
But some unlucky soldiers were spilled on the skin without armor protection by acid, "ah, ah ~" after a painful howl, the spilled skin was full of blood spots.
"Be careful not to be splashed by the acid!" Each captain shouted at his men.
Because the guards were in the front line, they blocked the first wave of acid with their strong armor and protected countless dark guards wearing only Leather Armor behind them.
Another wave of yellow acid came from the air.
"Raise the shield! Raise the shield!" Several team leaders with good eyes and quick reaction shouted.
The commander's order soon woke up the soldiers of the guards. Nearly 100 guards raised their giant shields at the same time. These giant shields made by the famous blacksmith in tyre Province in the east of faustan were like a solid barrier to block most of the next acid attack.
"What are these?" While protecting his head with his arm shield, Locke quickly ran to the place where Viscount cage and others were standing.
"The acid of sand!" Next to Viscount cage, a magician answered for him.
