Scales of Eternal Order

The thick carpet cuts off the heat that is gradually rising on the ground, and the awning placed above the head effectively blocks the eternal blazing sun over the head. Epicurus, who was leaning on the rock, was tired after a night of driving his feet, but he could not rest immediately.

“What an irritating stupid monster,” the slave merchant couldn’t help cursing as he listened to the sound of iron strikes from the slave camp in the distance. You don’t need to guess that the tallest ogre is playing with his weapons. “But it’s really a group of scary energetic creatures.”

On the one hand, there is annoying noise, and on the other hand, there is some envy of this race’s unattainable vigor. Epicurus returned to his senses and focused on the leather map in his hand.

As a successful caravan businessman, and looking forward to a more successful businessman leader in the future, Epicurus learned a skill early on-the collection and analysis of news.

Although this trade route has been on for more than fifteen years, the situation in the desert is like an unpredictable sandstorm, which may suddenly appear next to you every moment.

“Sashan and Salem, two desert nomadic elf tribes, actually broke out in a war near the Dragon’s Nest Territory. It should be because of the stupid Khan title,” Epicurus twisted the carefully maintained goat-like mustache Xu, this is his habit when he is immersed in deep thinking: “Although the “small fight” between these two tribes did not enter the eyes of those great characters, it did affect the surrounding commercial roads. Now it belongs to The edge of the Dragon Nest Territory is still half a month’s journey away. It is estimated that we can no longer go to Nome to purchase spices this time. You have to avoid it carefully and go to a city a little farther…”

“Oh, damn it.” The guard horn lurking at the top of the sand dune blew the warning horn, shocking the thinking businessman and accidentally pulling off a few beards.

In the rest area, the warrior, who was performing guard duty in shifts, broke into Epicurus’s tent. This is a caravan escort rather than an hired warrior. It belongs to Epicurus’ cronies. Only they are qualified to break into the merchant’s tent.

“Master Epicurus, something happened. An unknown number of nomadic cavalry was found outside the two Palesans. Their direction of travel was the caravan’s camp.” The caravan’s warrior was concise and to the point. Explain clearly what you found.

“Hurry up, gather the warrior from the caravan and the warrior hired, and tell them that it’s time to move the knife! And give these slaves some food and prepared weapons, and tell them if they don’t want to die I’ll be desperate for a while! Finally, protect the food and water at the rear of the camp, and bury some of them.” Epicurus spoke a long string of words as quickly as possible.

He didn’t notice that the sound of iron strikes that had just made him irritated had ceased for a while.

As early as 1/4 hourglass, the ogre had discovered the situation before the guard post.

Witch Doctor ogre Palu, who was resting with “energy ointment”, squinted, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up straight and stared into the distance with his dark pupils, his nose covered by a scar shook slightly. a bit. Thanks to the learning of voodoo knowledge, his sense of smell is the most acute among the three brothers.

“Nalu, don’t make any noise, Bulu put away your food box,” ogre Witch Doctor stopped one who was struggling hard, and one was eating with an immortal palm stab from the root of the immortal palm. Two brothers of the Insect.

He quickly lay on the ground, his huge ear pinna close to the sand, carefully distinguishing. In addition, the two brothers who received his message also wrinkled their noses at this time. Although their sense of smell is not as strong as Palu, their racial instinct still made them discover some things.

“It seems that there are a lot of villains and the camel beasts riding on horses and they are rushing here,” said Bulu, who is clever and always has an idea: “There may be a battle, this is not a gladiator. In the field, we have to use the method we used in wasteland.”

Bulu quickly arranged his food box, and stuffed the chopped immortal palm stems and the fatty and delicious insects into one of the boxes. In a small empty grid, finally put the lid on carefully, and said to Nalu earnestly: “Remember to save half of your strength; don’t throw away the healing potions that Palu gives you; if you can’t beat them, just run together. Well, bring them when you run. The last one or two little persons were used as food reserves.”

Nalu nodded, said I knew it.

ogre three brothers, Bulu always has an idea, Palu always has a potion, Nalu, just need to always have strength.

“The taste of little persons is not human children, but the kind of tall elves little persons. It is estimated that there are about a hundred, and there are slightly more camels. The Voice of the Earth tells us that they do not have heavy armor. , It should be able to deal with.” Palu, lying on the ground, stood up and took out three water sacs from the belt behind him: “This is the latest healing potion. You can drink it to replenish your strength, or you can sprinkle it directly on the wound. .” The gains from the Great Arena gave him more experimental tools and material reserves than the old troll who taught him the Witch Doctor.

After taking the healing potions distributed by Palu, Nalu thought for a moment, and then untied the two hardwood tower shields tied to his arms. The tower shield that humans can use only after reloading the warrior is here. It can only be used as one’s arm armor: “The slag after the cooling of the molten iron protects Nalu. The shield is for you to use first. The little person of the elves can shoot arrows, and it hurts to stick to the body.”

The preparatory work was completed before the alert sent out an enemy attack warning.

Afterwards, the caravan was deployed very quickly. The hired warriors all rode on desert horses and arranged a reserve formation to deal with the rush; the caravan bodyguards urged the camel drivers to drive away the beasts. To the rear of the battlefield, while driving away the “goods” originally transported-the group of slaves went to the forefront of the battlefield and gave everyone a simple weapon and some food.

“Oh my God, the leading little person’s stinginess is beyond my imagination. During the war, they were only given some sharpened wooden sticks to fight with some children. Wooden shield. Fortunately, Bulu was smart and went to the arena to make money, so we were prepared…” I caught a glimpse of the weapons and equipment sent to the slaves by the caravan guard, and Nalu, the big guy, was disdainful of Epicurus.

In fact, there are still some fighter slaves who are assigned to weapons made of metal, and simple armor stitched with nitrated leather. Even the ogre three brothers are assigned a fan of dried camel meat, but This is just a handful of those who have the treatment of battle strength slaves that’s all.

Although preparations for battle are not fast, but the horses running from a distance are faster.

The horse teams galloping from two or three Palesan distances stood still hundreds of steps away from the slave battle. This is not to show the fighting etiquette in front of the two armies but to cultivate horsepower and accumulate strength for the charge.

Epicure and his trusted bodyguards stood on the sand dunes behind the camel team and watched the attacking enemy. He took the single-scope telescope handed by his cronies and observed it carefully. This is the high-end goods he bought from those alchemists and can easily observe the situation outside the five Palesan.
