Chapter 152: oasis

Because there was a possible sand fox community nearby, the team had just finished the next morning and started to leave.

Riding on the horse, Rock curiously tossed a sand frog's back shell.

"What's the point of the magicians wanting this thing?" He felt that Sand Cricket's carapace had no other characteristics other than its unusual stiffness.

I tapped my fingers and made a dull sound of "Dump". This carapace is lighter than steel, but hard enough to match the steel. If it can be made into armor, this is Locke's idea.

His bright yellow armor was also sprayed into a small area by the acid of the sand fox during last night's battle. This armor with good texture is worthy of Locke's spending a large amount of military power for exchange. Corroded a thin layer.

Put some oil on it and take good care of it, it is another 90% new armor.

The direction of advance is true north, and according to the map, there is an oasis not small in area two days away from them.

In addition to being able to replenish enough water, they will also meet the people of the Kingdom of Tucson for the first time.

"That's the outpost of the Kingdom of Tucson built in the desert." The deputy Bend did a lot of work, and it has been clearly detected. "There will probably be a squadron of Tutson defenders and a population of three hundred. Small village."

As a team of envoys, Locke did not need to worry about the troubles from the Kingdom of Tucson. The documents approved by the king and the pass donated by the Omor Empire will make their journey unimpeded.

In fact, from Forstan to the Omor Empire, they need to worry more about the attacks of bandits and bandits and the intrusion of other creatures than the regular army passing through the country.

There are many countries where domestic thieves and robbers are different from those in the Forstan Kingdom. The strong military color and sturdy folk customs of the Forstan Kingdom make it difficult for large-scale thieves to develop.

It is different in other countries. Taking the current Kingdom of Tucson as an example, the thieves in their country dare to face the existence of a rigid army, and they are often thieves counted by thousands of people. How could the royal family of Tucson tolerate it.

Perhaps that night’s attack on Shazao was too impressive. The convoy was moving a little faster than before. At noon two days later, the envoy arrived at this oasis called Mocamo. In the mean, it means a new place.

Whether Mocamo really represents a freshman, Locke doesn't know. What he knows is that he can finally take a bath. Not only him, but the whole team, there are not many people who have this idea.

The two documents from King Forstan and the Omor Empire made the Yelisan knight stationed in Mocamo express a warm welcome and solemn hospitality to the envoy.

This squadron leader of the Kingdom of Tucson, who is capable of serving in the mid-level, should have received the news from the upper class long ago. Whether it is food or accommodation, he has prepared the envoy quite well.

One time, after being delivered to Captain Jerisan for two hundred silver Dele, the team received two days of supply and repair time.

After taking a cold shower in the sheepskin tent, Locke was fortunate to observe the lives of the civilians of Ritson who lived here.

Most of the men in the Kingdom of Ritusen have a dark face, skinny limbs and long swords hanging around their waists.

The women of the Kingdom of Ritusen are mostly fair-skinned, with maroon hair wrapped under a white gauze, and a bunch of bells are always tied to their wrists, as they say, to drive away the sheep.

Mocamo mainly livelihoods by transporting supplies and receiving travellers. From the local story, Locke only knew that it was originally in the deserted extreme west of Rituxun, on the border between Rituxon and the neighboring Kingdom of Kot. On the line, there is also a cavalry of a corps.

Mochamo is one of the base stations that supplies supplies to this cavalry regiment.

As for the travelers, the locals said that their embassy was the third group of tourists in this town in the past three years.

The land is sparsely populated and the situation around Mocamo is mentioned.

In the evening, the Knights of Yelissang organized the whole town, and held a grand welcome party for the envoys. The ethnic customs from foreign countries fascinated Locke.

Under the campfire, the passionate Japanese Tucson dancer, shaking the waist of Miaoman, the bells that he carried with him, in the cool breeze of the night, "dingle, dingdong", eating roasted whole sheep, so long from the Kingdom of Forstan, Locke felt warm for the first time.

The team stayed in the oasis of Mocamo for two days. This was the first welcome received by the envoys so far a month, and the hospitality of the Mocamo locals. Locke often remembered it for a long time afterwards.

Replenishing water and dry food, the team set off again, this time with a few more camels in the team.

Locke walked around the camel with two humps a few times. He was astonished. This was the first time he saw a domestic animal like a camel.

There is also a Gobi in the Kingdom of Forstan. He has heard of the camel creature, but he has never seen it. He rubbed the camel's hump and greeted a camel's impatient nose.

Locke's hand strength has been very strong, just estimated that it hurt it.

Before waiting for the camel to lift his legs to teach the offending person, Locke's eyes glared so that he immediately bent his legs and sat on the ground.

"It's afraid of you!" Angelina said to Locke with a smile.

"Did this make your legs weak?" Locke couldn't help crying.

Carefully holding Angelina to sit in the middle of the two humps, Locke also sat up. "..." The camel under him groaned and stood upright.

"The camel is quite timid and has a lot of energy." Locke said, he and Angelina added together, but the camel was walking steadily, because he was good at walking in the sand, the speed was faster than the horse .

These camels were purchased from the residents of Mocamo, and the price of each seventy silver dellar was cheaper than that of the war horse.

Of course, the currencies of the two countries are different. Dele does not circulate in the Kingdom of Tucson. It was still exchanged by the squadron of Yerisan. He did not suffer. After the breakthrough of Charlotte, the currency of Forstandler was around. The countries have soared, at least ten percentage points higher than before.

These camels have replaced the work of many horses in the team, and have the advantage of enduring hunger, thirst and strength, so that the team's speed in the desert has been greatly improved.

After leaving Mocamo, the envoy met several small oasis.

Probably because of the imminent departure from the desert, there was a trace of dryness in the air and a trace of water vapor.

On the high head, Locke looked into the distance, "Where is the next stop?"

"Fry Military Station, the northwest border station of the Kingdom of Ritson." Bender is a competent adjutant.

On the far horizon, the endless Gobi Desert has disappeared, replaced by rolling hills. I wonder if it is an illusion. From these hills, Locke feels the long-lost greenery.

As of mid-October, the convoy of the envoys finally came out of the desert of Ritsen. On the night before the farewell to the desert, at the Fry military station, all soldiers put down and ate for nearly a month of dry food.

With a mouthful of hot, fresh food, the soldiers' demands have always been simple.

Inside the military station, he exchanged a few words with several officers of the Kingdom of Ritusen, and refused to request the dark-skinned people of Ritusen to have dinner, and Lock returned to the convoy.

"Why don't you see the famous sand thieves in the desert?" At dinner, Rafi asked, and Xia Qian, who was sitting next to Locke, also got curious eyes.

They also heard about the rampant sand thieves in the Kingdom of Ritusen, especially rampant in the desert, but from entering the desert to the present, it is almost a month. Except for the sand squad attack, the convoy has not been attacked.

Locke’s political wisdom is not high, and he is also curious. Grace beside him explained for Locke: “Those sand thieves can only bully ordinary people, let alone we are the envoys to the Omer Empire. The Kingdom of Stan, they can’t afford it."

Through Grace’s explanation, Locke also knows that the Kingdom of Ritusen is not a solution to the long-suffering sand thieves, but it is too costly. The desert in the west of their country is deserted, and a large army is sent to suppress the sand thieves. Pulling for a long time will also lead to crazy revenge of sand thieves.

"The sand thieves, to a certain extent, also ensured the security of their western border." Grace continued, "If other countries violate the Kingdom of Ritsun, the first thing they face is the ubiquitousness of the desert. Jackal."

Perhaps among the sand thieves who are the culprit, there is the figure of the high-level figure of the Kingdom of Ritusen?

Of course, these are not outsiders like Locke and need to be considered--
