Chapter 242
…
Mengkuo Carter's words successfully made Lan Qi swallow back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
Forming an alliance? It seemed like a good idea. The reason he didn't dare confront Meng Kuo head-on was because he'd already lost a lot of personnel and equipment in today's battle against the sand beasts! Everyone's conditions were the same; he'd lost a lot first, putting him at a disadvantage. But if they formed an alliance, that gap would disappear, and they'd become even more powerful.
Lan Qi looked across at Monk Kwak Carter and his team. His friend looked exhausted, and the NPC members of his team were all injured to varying degrees. Perhaps they were suffering similar fates, right?
"My starting point was in the lowland plains. As soon as I arrived there today, I was attacked by others..." As if knowing what Lan Qi was thinking at the moment, Meng Kuo Carter briefly described his experience.
After hearing this, Lan Qi gave this arrogant guy a rare look of sympathy. As soon as he came on the court, he was beaten by the other three, and it seemed that he was not much better than him.
Finally, the two sides reached a series of consensuses, such as sharing the Sand Beast Nest acupoints, jointly dealing with the other three teams, and if they won in the end, they would fight openly and whoever won would become the captain. Finally, this pair of "brothers in distress" finally formed a temporary alliance as expected.
In the silent and desolate desert, the strong wind roared all night long, blowing up the yellow sand.
The sand dunes in the east were undulating, like a natural trench. At dawn the next day, the Oaks here took advantage of the terrain and launched a round of long-range artillery attacks on the central fortress.
A huge roar resounded throughout the desert, startling everyone.
The fortress in the central region, under attack, responded immediately, but after several rounds of artillery fire from both sides, it seemed to have little effect. The fortress's walls seemed to have peeled off a lot, but it still stood firmly. Meanwhile, in the dunes, a large area of natural trenches rose and fell, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location of Oak's troops.
Afterwards, the two sides fell into a stalemate and there was no movement. The battlefield seemed to have returned to tranquility.
Outside the western sand beast's lair, Lan Qi yawned loudly and said to Meng Kuo:
"I thought there would be a big commotion, but it died down so quickly. Hey, man, who were those people who were beaten just now? Where are the other three?"
"Yesterday, I was attacked as soon as I took the field. Last night, I thought about the situation and it must have been the three of them. The attack came from the center, the east, and the north. That means they were in those three directions. And judging by the direction of the artillery fire just now, it was from the east and the center. I know Bowen from the History Department, and he... would never choose to attack at this time."
"That means the east and the central region are Orcs and the one called Yiyi. And the north is most likely Bowen."
"That's right. Judging from the terrain here, the northern part of this desert appears to be a large abandoned city, making it easy to hide and a natural shelter. To the east, there are tall, undulating sand dunes, which serve as natural trenches. With such a terrain advantage, it's no wonder they dared to attack the central fortress first."
"Oh, it seems that we two brothers are the most unlucky. One was put into the sand beast pile, and the other was put into the low-lying plains." After listening to Meng Kuo's terrain analysis, Lan Qi sighed speechlessly at their bad luck. Then, he sighed helplessly.
"Well, forget it, let's just figure out our next plan first."
