Each step felt like a bump, and walking in the soft yellow sand was a completely different feeling from the ground.
"Why don't we just fly over on the pterodactyl?" Sean turned to look at Melsusa beside him.
Today, she didn't wear a mask but was wrapped in a light-colored scarf like herself...
"Not yet. Whether it's a pterodactyl or an iron-hoofed ox, they can survive for several days without food if they're fed well. However, flying consumes a lot of food, and we don't have much food left. We can only resupply after we've passed a city... and we can only fly after we've passed that city."
There are not many complete maps of the desert, and most of them are based on routes and travel experience.
As long as you continue eastward in this direction, you will reach several small towns in the desert. You can buy food supplies there and let the pterosaur fly over. If there is not enough food, you can only keep walking.
At least they don't consume much energy walking on the ground...
Sean looked back and saw a pterosaur walking slowly behind the team. Beasts like these were quite interesting!
"Will there be enough food for so many pterodactyls in a few small towns?" Sean asked again.
"I'm not sure either. If the caravan happens to be there, it might be possible. Although they are big in size, they don't eat much. A cow, sheep or a larger camel is enough for them to eat once or twice, and if they are full once, they won't need to eat for ten days or half a month." Melsusa said.
so?
It is indeed not difficult to raise them. The food cost is worth it for the fighting power they show, and the cost is not as much as you might imagine!
The team continued to move eastward. It was said that it might take seven or eight days to walk into the desert if they just rode camels slowly. Moreover, they would have to do this every day for several days, and they would not see any villages until the second half of the journey.
Melsusa and Ben Tari were always worried that they would not get used to life in the desert, so they discussed going to the village to feed some pterodactyls and then have them fly over first. Otherwise, they would have to walk in the desert for nearly a month before they could completely get out.
The largest desert in the world...
No wonder there are rarely any reports of wars in the Adak and Zambutal regions. This buffer zone alone can cause so many people headaches.
Originally in the morning, Sean liked to discuss some things about Adak with Melsusa, but as they went deeper and the weather got hotter, he didn't want to talk anymore.
When I have nothing to do, I can't help but take out some water and drink it.
Maybe he was hungry, but Sean felt like he was thirsty!
The team's water source is provided by Iron Hoof Ox and Flying Dragon, each of whom carries a large can. This is enough for the team to use for more than half a month, and can even last for a month if they are a little frugal.
"Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Sean and Melsusa walked in the front and middle of the team... Ben Tari was the general leading the team, and the two of them were hiding in this place.
Except for a few soldiers around him, no one else probably knew where Sean was and thought he was at the front.
"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
Sean didn't lie, he was just not used to it. After all, he came from a mountain village where the environment was not as good as in the city. It was considered a difficult area among the nobles, and it was normal to be cold in winter and hot in summer.
But it is much hotter in the desert, especially at noon when the temperature is so high that it is unbearable.
Just want to sleep...
"Your Highness, if you feel sleepy, please take a nap. The temperature will drop in the evening, and it will be much cooler then."
Although Melsusa said so, Sean couldn't sleep at all.
When I was really sleepy, I closed my eyes for a while, but the camel would wake me up after a few struggles.
Just a few minutes...
But it felt like a long time had passed.
After doing this a few times, I didn't feel sleepy anymore, and the temperature gradually cooled down.
Looking at the sky...
[Daytime: Clear, 4:34:00].
There are still more than four hours until nightfall. Although the temperature has cooled down, the sky still feels like it is noon.
"How long have we been walking?"
"It's been a day. Your Highness, are you awake? Would you like to eat something?" Melsusa handed over a piece of roasted dried meat.
"There aren't many people around here."
Sean took the dried meat, tore it apart and put it into his mouth to chew. These were all prepared in advance in the camp, and all the tent curtains were also brought along.
"Normally there won't be any caravans unless they are merchants traveling between the two places. However, due to the war between Bashalan and the other two countries in the past six months, there are probably very few caravans." Melsusa said.
Although the Borg's territory does not directly border Adak, their little brother Kate has always been on the border. They also participated in this war, but were surrounded between the two major powers and could do almost nothing. It seems that they have always been used as a logistical force.
When Jagun's forces defeated them, the Borg actually had little ability to fight back!
This is basically the fate of small countries...
This is also why Sean did not accept the proposal to form an alliance with Mersin when someone suggested it. It would be better to wait until they decided to send troops and the war would have been over.
"Oh, I remember... when I was the lord of Oro City, there was a city opposite called Bahama. Do you know that city?" Sean asked.
"Bahamas?" Mel Susa thought for a moment.
"Actually, there are quite a few cities in the desert. Many of these small cities were formed by early tribes. Since Bahamas is on the southern edge, it should be considered a small country near the sea. There are also some small countries in the Adak region, the smallest of which is just a city. The desert doesn't have villages like other regions... The country of Adak is located near a water source."
From what Melsusa said, it seemed that she didn't know much about that city. Sean originally wanted to ask some information about the lost ancient artifacts.
It seems that we can only wait until we return to Jagong and send someone else to contact the female thief.
She had been there for several months, and there was no telling what information she had gathered...it was time for her to report to him.
The team walked until it was almost dark before deciding to set up camp.
With so many wild animals around, it is actually very convenient to set up camp, and there is no need to worry about wind and sand at night.
This area is said to be quite calm, without too much wind or sand, but it's a little cool at night...
The team found a sufficiently open area and used large tents to enclose several large camps. The soldiers rested inside, while the wild animals stayed outside so that it would be warmer inside the camp.
Sean looked at the various hills surrounding the campsite...
Suddenly I noticed the top of a tent protruding from the yellow sand somewhere in the distance!
"Over there...is there a team setting up camp?" Sean said, pointing in that direction.
