Across the Gobi Desert, tens of thousands of refugees are trying to enter the Adak region.
However, they were all blocked outside the country by the desert cavalry. However, as the war with the Basaran Empire intensified, many people fleeing from the northern part of Basaran chose to pass through the Gobi Desert. This way, at least they would not encounter the imperial army, otherwise they might be forcibly dragged onto the battlefield.
But even walking in the Gobi Desert is not safe.
There are many bandits, and you often encounter desert hydralisks, which are organizations that specialize in killing, robbing and snatching people.
It is equally dangerous no matter which way you go, but for those who leave their homes, it is always dangerous. So despite many people's warnings, some people still escape from the war front and go around the Gobi area in the Adak region through the desert road.
And there are quite a few people.
It even forced the nearest city in the Adak region to retreat its defense line by more than ten kilometers!
The desert area has vast land but a small population. If we have to spend effort to drive away these refugees, it is better to leave them alone. Anyway, we just need to guard the oasis and prevent them from coming in. As for where they want to run in the vast desert, that is none of their business.
Without direction and sufficient food resources, it is impossible to cross the desert to reach the oasis. People may be robbed by robbers on the way. Therefore, the cities in the Adak region are not worried at all.
Moreover, from the beginning of the war until now, no refugees other than merchants have been heard of fleeing to the depths of the desert. They all go around the Gobi Mountains and enter the Zambutar area again.
Among this group of people heading south along a detour, some were not refugees, but members of the revolutionary army.
Winter has arrived in the Basaran Empire, but the Gobi region across the vast mountains is still under the scorching sun, with no sign of winter at all.
But even when the sun is shining brightly, people walking still dress warmly because once it gets night the wind will blow so hard that it will give people a headache!
In the area near the Basaran Empire, you can still see groups of bare rock mountains. If you continue to walk east for dozens of miles, you will gradually enter the desert. In that place, if you don’t have a guide and are not familiar with the oasis route, it is estimated that outsiders will not be able to get out at all.
Kubaqi looked at the deserted scene before him.
Fortunately, this is not a big desert, otherwise these more than 8,000 people might have been killed.
"This area is really annoying. I don't know how long it will take to reach the south," Kubazi complained.
There were two other people accompanying him, a man and a woman, both of whom were wearing headscarves that only exposed their eyes. Even so, they still had to squint frequently, otherwise the fine sand would easily be blown into their eyes.
"It should be soon. By then, we and the desert mercenaries will be able to launch an attack on Tacoma City and break through the Bashalandi army's defenses."
"Now it's called the Oro Region!" the man on the other side of Kubazi suddenly said.
"I'm sorry, I haven't changed it yet. But then again, the newly appointed Lord of Oro City seemed to be a country baron before. I wonder what opportunity could allow him to suddenly become the earl of a region at this time!" said the only female among the three.
"Who knows? The nobles of Bashalan love to engage in scheming. Who knows what methods they used? But I heard this earl is quite capable. Not only did he implement a series of reforms to the city, developing trade and the military, he even managed to avoid sending troops during the Imperial War without being blamed by the Empire!"
Regarding the events in Oro City, the revolutionary spies lurking nearby have reported everything to the Northern Headquarters.
"It's because Cuba and his men are incompetent. They haven't achieved anything in such a long time, and in the end they have to leave us to clean up the mess." Kubaqi felt angry when he thought of Cuba, the captain of a certain revolutionary army unit that was originally sent.
You have to know how difficult it is for members of the revolutionary army to travel from the north to the south of the empire. Many brothers even had to go separately and could not carry too many weapons otherwise they would be easily discovered.
However, under such conditions, several thousand people were still able to march south, and many of them were captured by the imperial army on the way!
There are so many people here, but still no good news. It's such a waste.
"It's not entirely their fault. Winter is here after all."
"Don't blame him, blame anyone else. I saw from the beginning that Cuba was not the best candidate to lead the team. I should have chosen Tatsumi in the first place. Alas!" He sighed.
There is no point in saying this now.
The battle in the north has caused both the Borg and the Bashalan Empire to enter a period of exhaustion. Now it is a process of fighting and attrition between the two sides. It is estimated that this process will last for a long time and it is still unknown who will give up first.
The most likely possibility is that the Basaran Empire will seek peace.
But a country of this magnitude will not fall so quickly. It is said that some of their politicians are beginning to want to incite national resistance and unite with other Zambutal countries to resist.
The Borg side has not made any progress for a long time, which has also frustrated the morale of the soldiers. Now some of them have begun to attack the southwest of Basaran by circling the western Amansha area, while this side has begun to attack the southeast by circling the Adak area, with the aim of forcing the Basaran Empire to fall.
If only one army wins in the south, this news will not only inspire the Borg soldiers on the front line but also put Bashalan in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, north and south.
The method is a good one, but the process is too hard!
Since the Revolutionary Army cooperated with the Borg, the task of attacking from the Adak area naturally fell on the Revolutionary Army.
"But then again, if we hire desert mercenaries, will the lords of the Oro region unite with them?" the woman said again.
"Those nobles? Haha, too difficult."
"We have been fighting against the Bashalan Empire for so many years, and you know their selfish habits. By the time they unite, the gate of Oro City will be broken by us." Kubazi said confidently.
"What if he's not a noble?"
"Are they willing to pay a high price to buy out all the desert mercenaries? You think too highly of them, Farah."
Kubaqi smiled at the other party and suddenly quickened his pace on his horse.
In the desolate Gobi Desert, a group of more than 8,000 troops formed a corps and marched southward.
Sean suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"My Lord Earl, am I disturbing you?"
Looking around, I saw that I was in a familiar room. The team had returned to Oro City from the forest a day ago.
Looking at the maid who came in to clean up the midnight snack and change the charcoal fire.
"What time is it?" Sean asked.
"It's almost dawn, My Lord Earl. Did you have a nightmare?!" the maid asked, looking at the sweat beads on Sean's forehead.
"No, this is not a dream."
"Go to the study and get the map of the Oro region. Oh, and bring me the border map. It's the map of the border between us and the Adak region."
"Sir, you didn't sleep very late last night, and now you have to start working before dawn? Your body won't be able to bear it."
"Go!" Sean gave the order without caring what the other party said.
Because just now in his dream he seemed to see a threat from the Adak region.
