The march outside Shin-Edo Castle lasted three days and three nights, but it was not over yet.
The number of people was so huge that it was unprecedented, almost comparable to the corpse tide in Nolan Snow Mountain.
Although the population base of Dafang Prefecture ranks last among the three red earth kingdoms, with only about 170 million, the sand people living in a hot and harsh place have been accompanied by danger since childhood, sleeping with scimitars and being fierce. Their fighting instinct and perseverance have penetrated into their bones.
Once a battle breaks out, the sand people, regardless of age or sex, will participate in the battle, including children as young as seven or eight years old. It can be said that almost all the people are soldiers.
Chen Xing observed on the rooftop for three days and roughly estimated that there were at least four million people passing by outside the city.
This number continues to increase. However, those who passed by in the first two days were all regular troops in uniform uniforms, with complete equipment and neat appearance, with a size of about two million.
Those passing behind were in a somewhat scattered formation, with a variety of transportation vehicles, including motorcycles, dune buggies, pickup trucks, and even camels. These people mainly wear the traditional clothing of the sand people, with white cloth on their heads, scimitars on their waists, and various symbols painted on their faces to distinguish different forces.
The Gratamu United Tribal Kingdom is composed of thousands of tribes, ranging in size from large to small, and each tribe is relatively independent. These latter people should be desert militias organized in tribal units, commonly known as "desert raiders" or "sand bandits".
For thousands of years, sand bandits have harassed various places, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They are the most notorious existence in the Red Earth Continent.
The troops of the big tribes in front were okay and had strong restraint. They just passed by outside the city. Although they were arrogant and domineering, they did not enter the city to harass them.
But on the fourth day, the situation took a turn for the worse.
The men and horses of those small tribes had no military discipline at all. They formed small groups and began to rob the surrounding small shops and tourists.
At first, I just took random things, ate Overlord meals, and asked for protection money from shopkeepers and tourists.
New Edo is an entertainment city, managed and founded by the Yujin Chamber of Commerce, and protected by White Elephant City. It has no army of its own. The only armed organization is the "New Edo Militia", whose main role is to maintain public security.
Normally, under the protection of White Elephant City, no one with an open mind would cause trouble in New Edo.
But what is causing trouble now is the desert country, one of the three red kingdoms. Facing such a behemoth, the New Edo Militia did not even dare to take a breath. The opponent can bulldoze Shin Edo with just a wave of his hand.
The militiamen could only turn a blind eye to the hooliganism of this group of sand bandits, watching from a distance and not daring to step forward to stop them.
But there is only one result of appeasement, which is to make the situation worse and worse.
Seeing that the locals did not dare to resist, these bandits became more aggressive. In just half a day, he went from gangster to robber. There were still some scruples in the front and I needed to find some excuses, but I didn't even use excuses in the back, I just started to rob and kill anyone who resisted.
The surrounding areas of New Edo quickly fell into chaos. Sand people rushed into the business district crazily, robbing, killing and setting fires everywhere, committing all kinds of evil.
Countless female residents and tourists had their clothes torn and raped in the street. Sand bandits are like locusts crossing the border, wailing and crying constantly wherever they go.
Suddenly, except for the central area protected by militia groups, the surrounding area of Xinjiang Province was completely occupied.
"Brother, save us, save us!"
The young man who called himself "Axiu" fell to the ground, his face covered with tears and mud, and cried for help to Chen Xing on the roof.
In the alley not far away, several sand people were surrounding a young girl, pouncing on each other's body like wild dogs. The scene was like black mud churning milk, making people's stomach twitch.
The girl's desperate screams stung her eardrums. Pang Li beside Chen Xing tried to stand up several times, but was stopped by Chen Xing's gaze.
Chen Xing glanced at the young man below him indifferently, then turned away, ignoring the other person's cries and pleas for help. It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that he really can't help.
There was no need for him to drag himself and his team into the abyss for the sake of a stranger he had just met and whose words were speculative.
In fact, the person I'm most afraid of right now is him.
Such a large-scale military operation must be at the level of a kingdom war.
The Saudi Kingdom is out in force, and the target can only be the Red Kingdom.
If his identity as the Prime Minister of the Red Kingdom is exposed, not only will the other party not give him any face, they will arrest him and use him as a bargaining chip, and may even kill Ji Qi on the spot.
Since he dares to fight, he will naturally not be afraid of Aaliyah and Trilis. There is no guarantee for his life.
"Brother, please save my girlfriend, she can't stand it anymore. From now on, we can do whatever you want us to do!"
The young man named Axiu cried out in collapse. At this moment, Chen Xing was ready to kill him. If the other party continues to call like this, sooner or later they will attract the attention of these desert thugs.
He is now a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself. Although they all have extraordinary skills and are at least at the guard level of the alien bloodline, they are really not even scum in front of the kingdom's forces.
God knows how many legends and sanctuaries there will be in this desert army. There are millions of regular troops alone. He has nowhere to escape.
But Chen Xing still couldn't bring himself to shoot the opponent's head with a cruel shot. It is human nature to watch a beloved woman being raped by gangsters, and to seek medical treatment indiscriminately due to a mental breakdown.
"Brother, please, please!"
The young man Axiu was still crying, and his voice became increasingly harsh and irritating.
Chen Xing thought of murder several times and wanted to manifest the golden revolver, but in the end he did not take action.
In fact, there is a second reason here, which is also the most important reason.
, I’m just worried that brothers like Huo Zui and Pang Li won’t be able to accept it.
A Xiu calls him "Big Brother", and they also call him "Big Brother". It doesn't matter if he refuses to save his younger brother, but it's a bit unreasonable to shoot him in the head.
But in fact, the relationship between them is that the other party comes over to have a few glasses of wine and chat for a while. That's it. It's just a chance meeting. There is no friendship at all, and naturally there is no obligation to help the other party.
The young man's cries were mixed with the girl's screams, which made people more and more irritated.
As time passed, the two "finished" bandits on the other side of the alley lifted their pants, fastened their belts, and walked towards this side casually.
The young man named Axiu struggled to get up. Just when Chen Xing thought that the other party was going to rush forward and fight for his life, the person involved suddenly turned his head and ran away.
Chen Xing was speechless. He thought he was a lover, but he turned out to be a guy with no balls. He was suddenly a little glad that he didn't help, otherwise he would really have been taken advantage of.
However, trouble was still caused.
"Those on the roof over there, come down!" "What about you, are you deaf?" "Get down quickly, or I'll chop you up!"
Just after torturing the girl, the two bandits, who had fastened their belts, pointed their machetes at Chen Xing and others on the roof, cursing.
Chen Xing and Huozui Pang Li looked at each other, their heads turning rapidly.
Was he pretending to show weakness, or was Thunder taking action? Pretending to show weakness, even if they take off their clothes and pants and throw them to the other party, the other party may not let them go. Thunder took action. It seemed that there were many sand people around. If anyone saw him, he would be in big trouble.
Just as he was hesitating, a group of camel cavalry suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street, holding whips in their hands and beating the sand bandits they met along the way.
The bandits, who were usually extremely fierce, were now like a bunch of local chickens and dogs. They were whipped until they cried for their fathers and screamed for their mothers, and ran away in pee.
The sand people in the alley dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the delicate body that fainted in the white wet water.
"Saudi military police."
Chen Xing and others secretly wiped their sweat. It seems that the Sand Kingdom still cares about White Elephant City and does not dare to allow the Sand people to plunder New Edo.
Although the disaster has been temporarily avoided, the crisis has not been resolved. We must wait for the desert army to leave before looking for an opportunity to take a detour back home.
While thinking, Chen Xing suddenly felt a pain in his scalp, followed by a sound that broke through the air.
"call out!"
I saw the whip coming as fast as an electric snake.
"careful!"
Chen Xing was about to teleport to dodge, but Huozui took the lead and intercepted the whip with his arm.
The desert cavalry below grabbed the handle of the whip and pulled hard, but the nozzle did not move at all, glaring angrily. The whip was wrapped around the wrist, and both sides held one end, and there was a stalemate for a while.
