The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
"Where?" Melsusa looked in the direction Sean pointed.
A little further away...
In fact, it is difficult to judge the distance in the desert, because the scenes you see are almost the same. As long as there are only a few points left in the field of vision, it is far away.
"It seems to be true!" Melsusa took a look.
"A camp."
The terrain was so uneven that only the part above the tent could be seen.
"Go and take a look..."
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will send someone over to check it out right now."
"No need to go through so much trouble, we can go there ourselves." Sean said.
"That won't do!"
Before Sean could finish his words, Mel Susa stood up and objected.
"Didn't you say that I should try to conceal my identity? The people waiting here for news are not ordinary soldiers. Besides, there are so many of us that the other party should have seen us. They won't do anything..." Sean retorted.
Actually, I just wanted to go over and take a look, so I walked for the whole day... The wind and sand were blowing all day. Now that it's cooled down, I feel light and fluttery, but my head still feels a little swollen from the sun and wind.
People who are not used to the desert will not be able to adapt to this place after all!
Going over there is also a good opportunity to take a walk. The key is that you can tell whether the other party is an enemy at a glance, which is much better than others guessing...
After all, it was the prince's order, so Melsusa dared not disobey it. In the end, she agreed to go and take a look together, but she brought a few more people with her and went along as well.
The camp is still being set up and will probably be completed by evening, so let's take advantage of this time to walk around.
"Let's go." Sean ran with the camel on his back.
After riding for a whole day, I found that this thing runs really well in the desert. Although it is not as fast as a horse, it has great endurance!
About a dozen people followed Sean all the way forward...
There was no sign of danger in the field of vision, which meant I could continue running forward.
A little closer...
Sean noticed that the tent in the distance was indeed there, built on top of a vast sand dune. It was right on top of a sand dune, otherwise it wouldn't be visible from the military camp. And in the desert, it's best to camp on a sand dune; it's better to be high than low...
"It seems no one is there, Your Highness...Captain."
After looking at Melsusa, the other party immediately changed his address. It was more convenient to call him captain when they were outside.
"I saw it."
Two tents stood quietly on the sand dunes, but no one was there.
You can still see some simple arrangements inside the open tent!
"alert!!"
Melsusa suddenly ordered.
"Captain, please don't go over there. I'll go over there and take a look myself."
The team arrived at the foot of the sand dune. The tent was on top of a sand dune about six or seven meters high. They could see the outside environment but did not find anyone.
"You... go up and take a look." Melsusa asked a soldier beside her to climb up first to see if there was anyone inside.
It is impossible for two tents to appear out of thin air in the desert, and they don’t look old or abandoned at all... Everyone watched from below as the soldier climbed up, then slightly peeked inside, and then stood up and waved to the people below.
"No one, Captain. There's no one inside either of them, but the things are very clean, it doesn't look like an abandoned place."
Since the thing is good, where did that person go?
Sean looked around. The sky was gradually getting darker and the surroundings were covered with yellow sand. There was nothing but sand everywhere he could see.
However……
At this moment, the reminder of [being watched...] suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
This reminder has always been there, because there are also soldiers in the team looking at me. As long as it is behind me, the prompt is [Being watched...]*7, which means that 7 people are looking at me, but just now there are two more.
And it's on the left side.
Sean looked in the direction of the place, jumped off the camel and walked a few steps.
Melsusa also followed closely behind...
"Melsusa, go take a look over there!" He looked at the direction of the sand dunes not far away and shouted towards that place.
"Come out, I see you, come out!"
The surrounding soldiers immediately drew their swords and slowly approached. Melsusa seemed to understand something, and took out the longbow behind her and shot an arrow at the sand dune.
Even if a level 16.5 Orderer casually shot an arrow, the yellow sand hundreds of meters away would be blown up into a dust storm more than ten meters high as if by a tornado. The fine sand on both sides of the arrow's passing point was almost eliminated by half a meter.
“Ahem…”
"Don't attack, don't attack! We surrender... surrender."
Finally, a voice begging for mercy was heard from under the sand.
This group of people were really amazing. They actually hid under the sand. And there were not just one or two people. There were about seven people who kept standing up, including two camels. It must have taken frequent practice to be so skilled.
"Who are you?" Several soldiers walked over with knives in hand.
"Please spare us, please spare us, General. We are just merchants passing by and have no ill intentions." A middle-aged man with a big beard stepped forward hurriedly and said.
He wore a checkered turban, a brown coat, and was tall and sturdy, looking like a typical Adak.
"Are you a caravan?" Melsusa asked again.
Looking at the people behind him, there were seven of them... Two of them were women, wearing ordinary wide-collared clothes. The fabric looked very ordinary, just a little more colorful. They were wearing gauze clothes from head to toe, just enough to wrap themselves up, and their faces were also covered with veils.
