Lord of the Oasis Chapter 225: .Sandstorm sweeping the earth

“Boom-boom-boom-”

The great bronze bell was struck, blaring like an emergency bell at wartime.

The peasants who were still in the agricultural and animal husbandry areas had already started running towards the castle, but they had not forgotten to bring their livestock in to avoid the terrifying sandstorm.

They have no force, but they are not fools.

Surviving the chaos of Calradia speaks to their minds.

With such a strange weather, before the strong wind came, many people were ready, pulling the camels and sand grouse they raised, as well as the military horses in the stables, all moved towards the city wall, By the time the gust of wind in the early stage of the sandstorm blew, it had already moved almost.

These farmers have time to fix the water diversion channel made of date palm trunks on the roof, and cut off the water flow in the water tower to prevent the diversion channel from being blown down by the strong wind.

As for the newly germinated wheat and flax in the farmland, there is no way to transfer it.

And the palm leaves with small fruits condensed on the date palm trees were also swayed by the sandstorm, as if they were about to be blown off the trunk of the tree.

The power of a sandstorm is like a tsunami along the coast, or a landslide in the mountains.

If it is not handled properly, it will cause huge losses!

But for Kant, the damage caused now is huge enough. It is estimated that after the dust storm blows, most of his agricultural area will be destroyed and he will start again.

"Damn it!"

Kant gritted his teeth and barely swept the direction of the agricultural area, but the sandstorm that blew blocked his vision.

Dust and grit everywhere, all over the sky.

The howling wind even began to swept through the larger grains of gravel, causing a slight sting on the skin.

This is a signal that a real dust storm is approaching.

The distance is very close.

"Lord Kant, enter the Consular Hall to avoid the sandstorm!"

After arranging the defense of the troops on the city wall, Fatis has already arrived at the top floor of the Consulate Hall.

Looking at the gray sky in the distance, Fatis looked anxious and solemnly said to Kant: "I once heard that there will be terrifying sandstorms in the Sarand Desert, but I didn't expect that there will be the same in the Naron Desert."

"It should be said that there will be sandstorms in deserts." Kant added.

But he still followed Fatis and walked quickly into the Consulate Hall, using the heavy stone castle to avoid the wind and sand for the time being.

Although the sandstorm is terrifying, it cannot destroy the stone walls and bunkers.

However, just inside the stone fortress of the Consulate Hall, the maids also worked together to close the windows. Thanks to the military structure, only the wooden boards inlaid with iron sheets and nails on the outside were closed, and the wind and sand were completely blocked from the outside. They couldn't blow into the stone castle at all, allowing them to enjoy a moment of tranquility here.

"Will the watchtower be destroyed by the wind?"

Kant sat in his seat, frowning slightly, still looking worried.

Large watchtowers can be as long as 40 meters.

Although this is the commanding height on weekdays, in this sandstorm, it is also the first point to be affected by the wind and sandstorm.

Fatis comforted next to him: "No, Lord Kant, the watchtowers are all made of stone blocks, and the thickness is only half a meter. Unless it is an earthquake, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not matter. The watchtower may be destroyed."

"I hope so." Kant sighed.

"However, Lord Kant."

Fatis frowned, and said with some doubts: "The suddenness of this sandstorm is very surprising."

"Hmm." Kant nodded.

It stands to reason that there will be some meteorological anomalies when sandstorms appear.

Like the halo around the sun before a heavy rain.

The oppressive cloud before the storm.

But this sandstorm, not only did not have the slightest abnormality, but appeared out of nowhere, it really caught them off guard. Even if there were no casualties, it would be a surprise.

Kant was also surprised, because according to his memory, there has never been a sandstorm in the Naron Desert.

The academy's records are not missed.

This is a historical record of hundreds of years, and the sandstorm phenomenon in the Narun Desert has never been recorded.

It's just a barren forbidden area of ​​civilization.

"It's true..."

Kant pondered slightly, bowed his head and said, "Accidental."

But he immediately raised his head, thinking of the accident that happened when he was in the apprentice dormitory, watching the seven apprentice mage perform magic experiments. It seems that because of this, a certain golden streamer sprang out of the window and disappeared into the sky. .

And less than ten minutes later, the dust storm began.

"Is that the reason?"

Kant gritted his teeth.

Fatis also noticed that Kant seemed to know something, and couldn't help asking: "What did you find? Lord Kant."

Kant's heart was beating, and a palpitation made his breathing a little short.

He listened to the howling wind outside the window.

And the tiny sound of the grit hitting the tin windows in the gust of wind.

Kant frowned and said: "Our trouble seems to be coming." He pondered slightly, he looked at Fatis, and said solemnly: "After the sandstorm ceases, immediately reorganize the troops of all combat sequences, and the entire castle will maintain its height. Be alert and report any abnormal situation to me immediately!"

"Understood!" Fatis nodded immediately, but there was still confusion in his eyes.

"Especially in the depths of the desert."

Kant has no intention of opening his mouth to answer, this is just his guess.

But even if it was a guess, he did not intend to relax his vigilance, instead he warned Fatis: "Tell the cavalry on patrol, if you encounter a human wearing golden clothes or coming from the depths of the desert, if the other party does not When expressing malice, don’t attack first, and while maintaining vigilance, be sure to stabilize the other party.”

"Yes, I will order it."

Fatis nodded solemnly.

"Hmm." Kant breathed a sigh of relief after the instructions.

Thinking of the mysterious woman I saw in the ruins below the village of "Aaron" in the Sangwaya Mountains, the throbbing in my heart deepened a bit, and I even felt that I might have really stirred something up. key node.

For example, let the 7 apprentices who only have solid basic skills conduct magic experiments on this sun disk.

But right now.

A system dialog pops up suddenly on the retina.

[Ding…Special task release]

【Special task: bear the consequences】

[Quest reward: 10,000 dinars, 10 honor, 1000 prestige]

[Task introduction: When you choose the magic experiment, after the golden light escapes in the sun disc, this sandstorm has already appeared in the depths of the desert, and is blowing fiercely towards the desert. But when this dust storm is over, you should go to the ruins under "Aaron", maybe you can detect more anomalies there. ]

Kant swept across the dialog box on his retina, frowning slightly.

"Sure enough." He couldn't help muttering to himself, it was really because of the magic experiment that finally led to the appearance of this sandstorm in the depths of the desert.

But Kant's brow furrowed tightly.

The system surprisingly gives special tasks instead of mainline and temporary.

Sweeping the rich mission reward, Kant took a deep breath and regained his inner peace.

This is indeed his responsibility.

The name of the system's task is right, and this is his mistake. If he hadn't rashly given the sun disc to the apprentices for magic experiments, none of this would have happened.

It's just that the mission of the system is not the depths of the Naron desert, but the ruins under the village of "Aaron".

This made Kant's brow furrow even more tightly.

System This is what it means.

But as long as the sandstorm subsides, Kant intends to lead the team to see it in person, and he must not let his village in the Rhodok Kingdom be affected in the slightest.

If there is an abnormality in the ruins inside the mountain, even if it collapses, it will affect the existence of the top of the mountain.

It is equal to one prosperous one, one loss and one loss.

The dust storm lasted a little longer.

A swath of darkness enveloped the Naron Desert, and even sandstorms were covered in this darkness.

In the bell tower, the bronze bell was struck.

The bronze bell thought for a total of eight times, indicating that it was 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sandstorm that started at 5 o'clock in the evening had lasted for nearly 3 hours.

"Lord Lord, let's eat first."

The maids serve dinner.

There is a food storage room in the basement of the Consulate.

In fact, most of the food reserves in the entire castle are located in the bottom storage room of the Consultative Hall, so that in times of crisis, once the city wall is breached, the defenders can still rely on the stone fortress of the Consultative Hall. Carry out a Jedi counterattack, drag the enemy to the point where they can only retreat, or usher in reinforcements to defeat the enemy, so as to obtain the final victory.

But even now, food storage can help Kant and the others solve the food problem. After all, a lot of food is piled up here, and they can't finish it with dozens of people.

Of course, houses in residential areas also have basements.

Those commoners also store small amounts of food in them for late-night snacks or snacks, and to solve similar problems.

This is a habit left over from Calradia.

I'm on the move, and I don't know when I will encounter various dangers.

Therefore, they will leave food to survive in the basement or hidden places, so as to avoid having no food to escape after surviving.

At this time of the sandstorm, the Consulate was unable to distribute food.

The pre-stored food comes in handy. Everyone relies on these stored food to suffer for a few days. After the sandstorm subsides, ~IndoMTL.com~ will be able to regain the food supply of the Consulate.

Everyone's expressions were more optimistic.

After all, sandstorms don't last long, especially those of the Sarand, who are more accustomed to it.

The sandstorm in the Sarand Desert lasts four or five days at most.

This is also the largest sandstorm ever.

But even if there is no food to eat, people can be forced to distribute the food in the Consultative Hall, but it will be a little dangerous. After wearing heavy armor, they must be tied with ropes to prevent accidents. After all, the wind speed Extremely high, and if there is no insurance, the wind alone can lift a small person, not to mention the gravel and stones that rush by in the wind.

After the blessing of the strong wind, the body of those who can be hit by gravel and stones hurts.

If you are unlucky, you may encounter a flying block of wood, hit your head, or be stunned and buried alive in a sandstorm.
