583 Desert Bandit Ambush (1/2)

”Lord, there are some stone structures ahead. We can use those to avoid the sandstorm.”

As expected from the living map of the desert. Huyan Qiu had paid attention to the unassuming landmarks and knew their exact location in the desert.

When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Just this point alone was worth the 250 battle resource points.

He immediately asked Huyan Qiu to lead the way, so they could settle the army before the sandstorm arrived.

The tail at the back also wanted to follow them.

This time, Ouyang Shuo did not remain courteous.

He asked the Divine Martial Guards to give those behind them a rain of arrows as a warning.

After this warning, as expected, they did not dare to get close. They only arranged a few scouts to keep a lookout. As for their main force, they trudged on slowly behind.

In their eyes, there were still many days to go, so they did not need to rush. As long as they knew the location of the Shanhai City Army, they would not be afraid of getting lost in the desert.

Little did they know that Ouyang Shuo was digging a hole for them using the sandstorm.

Half an hour later, they really saw the stone structures.

Ouyang Shuo ordered everyone to dismount and act like they were resting.

In truth, the army was silently getting into formation and setting up camp.

At this time, the sky above the desert suddenly became gloomy and dark.

The terrifying sandstorm had arrived as expected.

Dust suddenly flew about the desert, which was calm moments ago. Further away, a huge sandstorm swept forth like a wave.

The beautiful sky instantly turned pitch black.

Only the sounds of strong winds filled the entire vicinity.

Only at this moment did the players following the Shanhai Army notice the arrival of the sandstorm. They also wanted to copy the Shanhai Army and hide at the stone structures, but it was too late.

A nine thousand elite cavalry strictly guarded the stone structures. Any enemy that tried to rush over was met with an arrow rain.

This time, the player armies were left in total desperation.

No matter how they moved, they would face a dead end.

The crazy sandstorm was like a cavalry soldier, sweeping toward them.

In the desert, horses and people flipped.

The players finally learned of the brutal and cruel side of the desert.

Even the Shanhai City Army, who had their backs against the stone structures, were barely holding on. If they did not pay attention, the sandstorm would also sweep them away.

The Shanhai City Army surrounded Ouyang Shuo, who stood in the middle. He could not open his eyes at all. When he tried to open his eyes to look around, he only saw the sandstorm. It was like he was in the middle of an apocalypse.

Occasionally, one would still hear painful screams.

Every second, every minute felt so long.

In front of the might of the Earth, a single person seemed so small and powerless.

Who knows how long they waited before the sandstorm finally swept past and disappeared into the distance.

Ouyang Shuo tried his best to open his eyes; his whole body was dusty and covered in sand.

Moreover, he could be considered lucky.

Further away from them, the players who were unfortunate enough to get caught up in the sandstorm were left in terrible states.

However, Ouyang Shuo did not feel any sympathy for them at all.

”Generals where are you?”

Ouyang Shuo raised his energy and shouted.

”I'm here!”

Wang Feng, Zhang Liao, and Qinqiong stepped out.

Before leaving, it was settled that Ouyang Shuo would take the position of sole commander of the army.

He was going to lead all three armies.

Hence, Zhang Liao and Qinqiong, these two generals, also followed his instructions with the utmost respect.

”Immediately gather up our forces and destroy the enemy, as they are unstable and all over the place.”

Ouyang Shuo unsheathed his sword and pointed it forward.

”Roger!”

The three generals felt their blood boil.

They liked this kind of clean and direct warfare.

As for striking the enemy while they were down?

This was war and not a game; it was not a place to talk about manners and morals.

After a short while, the army had formed up neatly.

”Kill!”

Under the guidance of the three generals, the army swarmed out.

On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo remained under the protection of the personal guards and commanded the troops from the backlines.

To the other players, this was simply the worst situation.

The sandstorm had caused them to lose more than half of their soldiers. A large portion were either dead or swept away, buried under the sand dunes.

If they saved them in time, they could probably recover a large number of their troops.

Unfortunately for them, Ouyang Shuo did not give them such a chance.

The strong Shanhai City Army directly charged toward them.

To these Lords, this moment felt like the heavens were collapsing on them.

Regret!

This only occurred because they fell for Di Chen's temptations.

A quick battle in the desert ended without any surprises. In less than two hours, the five to six player forces that had followed behind them collapsed.
