The strong man took a few steps to the height of the sand dune, and the soft and fine sand kept flowing. Every step almost sent him back to his original place with quicksand.

An old man with a gray hair and beard came slowly behind him. Years eroded his eyes and made them cloudy and brown.
He bent over the strong man and said to him, "Wang, we shouldn’t kill so many villagers, and we have taken too much food this time. It is estimated that some people will not survive this winter, and maybe this village will be abandoned in 2008, so we can continue to grab food here."
"Even if we can’t grab food, it will be a year. If we don’t grab it, we can’t even live this year …" Awang said coldly.
Strong man Awang sand dune slope to sit on the soft sand makes him feel inexplicable peace of mind.
The old man followed him to sit in a nostalgic tone and said, "Before we went to the barren land, we didn’t need to cross the gale rift valley. It’s also a half-day journey from here to the desert. If we go out early, we can come back late. At that time, there are still many farms near the rift valley, and we will collect some oats in autumn."
The old man sighed, and then said, "At first, people who were willing to make a living in the barren land were poor exiles. Later, some vagrants and criminals came here to settle down. After more than ten generations of hard work, some villages were gradually formed."
"Here, the province of Babeira is separated by a sand sea of nearly 1,000 kilometers, and the closer it gets, the more desolate the sand becomes. Even people who are familiar with the desert like us would come here to rob villages if they didn’t know about those hidden oases," the old man continued. "Later, other bandits in the desert saw that we could always survive the harsh winter and the secret was slowly leaked out. Those people did worse than us, and they killed more slowly. There was no village in the windy rift valley in Xiji."
There was a robber who handed the water bag to the old man and took a sip, then said
"Now the villages in the deserted areas are hidden, generally in the mountains and far away from the desert, and sometimes there is no harvest and there are a lot fewer robbers who are willing to come here."
Awang vomited bitterly with bloodshot saliva and said to the old man, "I wouldn’t venture into the desert if Gage’s old dog didn’t drive us all to the eastern part of the desert. I heard that the new Baron Lord here was ruthless and ruthless, and hundreds of robber bodies were still hanging at the top of Pagelos Pass."
The old man sighed again.
Awang then perked up and said, "But this time, our harvest is not bad. Before adding these grains, it should be enough for us to get through this winter. When next spring, I will try to cross the big meadow in the northwest. I heard that there are many stray herders who raise horses there, and herds of wild horses and yellow sheep are more likely to live."
The old man shook his head again and said, "Nomadic herders have many animals in their hands, but those Durba herders who are good at riding and archery are all green horses. Qingqi is pegged to our camel team by their big grass, but they can’t be left behind …"
Before the old man finished this sentence, there was a scream in the silent night.
"ah!"
The strong man Awang suddenly got up from the sand and shouted in the direction of screaming, "What’s going on?"
Running in the dark, a hand ran to the leader in a panic and said with horror, "Ngawang leader Ganda was shot dead!" "
Awang walked towards the darkness with wide eyes and asked, "Where is the enemy?"
The robbers around them shook hands with their weapons and stared around.
The flustered hand pointed to the top of the hill and said hesitantly, "It seems that the leader over there is too dark to see the position where the arrow is coming …"
At this time, Awang has found the hand shot through the throat in the sand dozens of meters away. His eyes are sharp as a knife and he looks at the top of the sand dune and sinks to drink a way.
"Come with me!"
A group of hands gathered around Awang, wearing leather armor and holding machetes, and rushed quickly to meet the sand dunes.
In the dark night, an arrow has been flying into the forehead of a sand thief. The sand thief was immediately taken back by great power, and the whole person rolled down toward the sand dune surface without even a chance to scream.
Then a sand thief behind him was shot through the shoulder by a feather arrow.
"marksman! Shield ….. "Ngawang snapped growled that there was no loss of manpower all the way. Instead, he was stopped by a marksman who didn’t have a team. He gritted his teeth and ran to the top of the sand dune, and his hand hurriedly followed.
He couldn’t remember which bandit group had such a strong archer. In the dark, Wang felt that his body was locked far away. It was a mysterious fighting intuition. This intuition saved him in the battlefield. I don’t know how many times he faced the darkness at this moment. This feeling rose again. Wang didn’t hesitate. The whole person seemed to jump into the water and swim with a fish’s waist suddenly turned over. The whole person suddenly turned to the right and moved out of five positions …
Seeing a black arrow flying over from his original position, another arrow flew over his cheek with a sharp hook and stabbed his face to draw a blood groove. Awang stopped at the dune and huddled his body. He had never been so close to death.
Samira at the top of the hill gently slammed a bow and shot an arrow again, and the two continued to rush the robbers.
The robbers have almost rushed to the top of the sand dune and rushed ahead. The robbers are charging with shields in their hands, and ten brothers have been lying all the way.
Awang rushed to the top of the sand dune and saw an ogre wearing a simple black shoulder pad with a broken bone stick in his hand rising from the soles of his feet. He suddenly remembered that there was an ogre among the former robbers who heard about the barren new aristocratic lords and an elf archer. I didn’t expect the archer to be a’ night elf’ with the ability to see things at night …
Wang regretted his recklessness. His body was like a vigorous sand wolf stepping on soft sand and rushing toward the ogre’s right waist. His machete wanted to draw a wound along the ogre’s forehead and left rib. The robber and Wang cooperated very tacitly and jumped directly at the ogre’s right rib. The ogre ignored Wang and the robber’s broken bones and big sticks, swung round and rushed to the front. The robber swept out sideways.
Awang took the opportunity to lower his body and almost let his body stick to the sand to avoid the sweep. Then his machete drew a strange arc …
At the moment when the blade was just approaching the ogre, a dwarf chain shield appeared. Before the blade appeared, the machete cut the dwarf chain shield sharp. jagged edge splashed out a spark and covered the shield with a silver light. Wang felt that an anti-shock force made his wrist suddenly rise. Before he could offset this momentum, a blood-red sword light flashed from his face.
Awang didn’t feel how sharp the red crescent was, and felt that his sight was not controlled by his body. The surrounding scenery suddenly whirled around.
A sharp pain in his neck went into his brain. He seemed to fly, but it was so light and spinning. In the night, he saw his neck spraying blood in the sand. He looked at the scene in horror and realized that he had been beheaded by his opponent …
Awang’s head tumbled down the sand dune, and the body just "burst" into the sand.
"Drink!"
The ogre drank a broken bone stick in his hand and flew five robbers at a time. The robbers were hit by broken bone sticks. Almost all of them were lumbar vertebrae, just like being cut down by a sickle in autumn … They broke their bodies in succession and were swept into two pieces.
"Who are you?" Someone in the bandit group shouted angrily that it was a human response
"Everybody run separately! Quick … "Someone among the robbers shouted with an accent different from that of barren land.
The robbers who ran behind didn’t see what happened in front of them. Someone shouted this voice, and dozens of robbers suddenly fled and stopped looking at the battlefield behind them.
They are very experienced when they run away. Almost all the time they wash sand dunes, they circle their bodies and keep rolling sand dunes.
Andrew, on the dune surface, has killed several robbers guarding the camel caravan at this moment. He is carrying a butcher’s axe in his hand, stepping on an old robber with a gray hair and beard in front of the sand, spitting out the grass roots in his mouth, and looking at the sand thieves who are rolling rapidly, his eyes are glowing with blood.
……
Fighting at night is far smoother than Surdak thought. After Samira had the ability of "insight", almost all the robbers who fled into the night were killed by her.
Compared with the sand dune battlefield, the sand dune battle is too bloody. Andrew, an indigenous soldier, rushed into a cabbage field with an axe in his hands, like a wild boar. He never thought about the integrity of the robber’s body. The axe in his hand turned to split the skull, and the skull suddenly broke …
Surdak wondered if these bandits’ heads could be sacrificed, but he also thought that if they were sacrificed, they would soon be labeled as’ heretics’ and chased around by magicians from the Magic Union Law Enforcement Corps.
Surdak even had a chance to take a nap before Lebanon.
More than 40 camels have been connected in a string by ropes, and the materials on each camel’s back have been counted. Most of them are carrying wheat grains and some messy mountain products and some warm tents and other materials.
Some materials are even stained with dried blood. Surdak will put all the robbers’ heads in boxes and pay them to the guard camp, and he will also get some meritorious rewards.
When helping Samira, a half-elf archer, gather up the camel team, the ogre found a camel with a broken leg, so the camel had become a real roasted camel in the morning.
The ogre held a huge hump and bit off his mouth full of grease.
By the time it’s completely clear, the bodies that can’t be taken away from the battlefield have been strung together by dozens of spears to erect the top of the sand dune. Together with these many bodies, there is also a huge rock with thousands of kilograms. This huge rock is about three meters high.
The face knife and axe are engraved with a line of imperial words’ barren land boundary’
