Just as Ouyang Shuo took down more than a dozen soldiers, the sound of footsteps came from the darkness.
Ouyang Shuo narrowed his eyes and held his sword.
An entire platoon of soldiers appeared in Ouyang Shuo's field of vision. The military uniforms they were wearing were exactly the same as the soldiers from before.
"Are they together?"
Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself.
Even Ouyang Shuo had to think twice before fighting against a hundred soldiers alone.
Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo wasn't fighting alone.
Just as the other side was about to forcefully attack and take away the wounded soldiers on the ground, another set of footsteps came from the darkness. It was Chen Dameng and his personal guards rushing over.
The guards on night duty sensed that something was wrong and went to inform their captain.
Chen Dameng finally arrived before the crossfire.
The two teams happened to run into each other.
The small space was crowded.
The smell of gunpowder permeated the air.
"Marquis!"
Chen Dameng glanced at the other side and calmly saluted Ouyang Shuo.
"Take them down!"
Ouyang Shuo didn't hesitate. The platoon that had just arrived should be the enemy's reinforcement. Seeing that they had been exposed, they wanted to bluff their way out or destroy the evidence.
How could Ouyang Shuo allow them to be so unscrupulous?!
Chen Dameng didn't say a word and directly led his team to charge at the enemy.
The Divine Martial Guards had never been afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight.
Not to mention that the personal guards were the most elite of the Divine Martial Guards.
The battle between the two sides had completely broken the peace of the camp and alarmed all the forces.
The surroundings of the tent were filled with lords who had come to watch the show.
Their eyes narrowed when they saw Ouyang Shuo standing there with his sword.
Then, they noticed the bloodstained Whitey next to Ouyang Shuo and a flash of understanding flashed in their eyes.
This group of fellows really wanted to watch a good show and didn't mind the matter getting bigger.
Ouyang Shuo was expressionless when he saw this.
Chen Dameng didn't disappoint him.
By the time the Han patrol arrived, the enemy had already been taken down by Chen Dameng's team.
"Marquis, what's going on?" the leading officer asked.
Ouyang Shuo then explained the entire incident to Qin Nan.
This time, there was a complete uproar.
There were witnesses and material evidence. Even if he wanted to deny it, he probably couldn't.
The problem was that this was a battle map, and the troops brought by each lord were not registered in the barracks. It would be difficult to find out which territory this army was from.
The officer had a troubled look on his face. He was afraid that Ouyang Shuo would take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Ouyang Shuo looked around at the surrounding lords and said coldly, "What? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Only a despicable person would use such a despicable method. "
"…"
The entire place was silent. Since the other party had done this in secret, he would naturally not stand out and admit it.
Regardless of whether they were present or not, they were all suspects.
Since no one admitted it, Ouyang Shuo was helpless. Time was limited, and he couldn't interrogate them one by one.
"Sir, leave these people to me, how about it?"
Ouyang Shuo turned around and looked at the patrol captain.
"Marquis, please go ahead!"
The patrol captain was naturally happy to shift the blame.
Generally speaking, they would try not to get involved in the conflicts between the Mutants if they could.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. Then, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he gave Chen Dameng a look.
Chen Dameng understood. Without any hesitation, he led his troops forward and placed the Tang Sabers on the enemies' necks. He was going to execute them on the spot.
The captured soldiers did have some guts. None of them actually begged for mercy.
Chen Dameng was the first to swing his Tang Saber.
In an instant, more than a hundred heads fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere.
The blood vividly displayed the cruelty of this battle. Before the armies set off, the lords had already started stabbing each other with knives, trying to get rid of each other.
Among the crowd, someone's face twitched involuntarily.
Seeing how ruthless the Marquis of Lianzhou was, the surrounding lords felt a chill down their necks.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to use this to establish his might and warn his other opponents to not rashly target him.
Don't touch the butt of a tiger.
Otherwise, you might end up losing the rice you use to steal a chicken.
After the execution was over, this matter came to an end.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to find out who the mastermind was. As long as this mission wasn't over, the other party would show their tails sooner or later.
After the storm, the camp returned to peace.
As for those who couldn't sleep well, that was another matter.
The second half of the night was calm.
The next morning, the camp was bustling again.
Last night's disturbance didn't affect the lords' enthusiasm at all.
Some of the more impatient ones had already led their troops out of the camp and into the vast desert. Ouyang Shuo didn't stay for long. He met up with Zhang Liao's troops and the Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit and left the camp.
Early in the morning, the sun rose.
The vast desert was calm. The undulating desert was as gentle as a woman's boudoir. With that, the lords' fear of Grand Desert lessened somewhat.
Huyan Qiu was the only one who immediately entered the desert. Sometimes he would observe the terrain of the desert, and sometimes he would look up at the sky. He didn't look relaxed.
Ouyang Shuo rode on his warhorse and looked around.
Because they had just entered the desert, the troops didn't spread out. There were mutant troops in front, behind, left, and right. The sharp-eyed Ouyang Shuo noticed that some of the lords were looking at them strangely.
He had faintly felt this kind of gaze last night.
This morning, the feeling of being watched became more and more intense.
After careful observation, it wasn't hard to see that there were at least six troops trailing far behind them.
They were probably being watched by someone!
"Big Brother, something's wrong!"
The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit wasn't a fool. He also noticed something was wrong and came to Ouyang Shuo's side.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Yes, something's wrong."
"But why? There's no reason to fight us now. It won't do them any good. There are people who would do such a thankless thing? "The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit didn't hide his doubts.
"Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be. But if someone is deliberately provoking us, then it's hard to say. "Ouyang Shuo slowly sorted out his thoughts and said ambiguously.
"You mean Di Chen and the others?"
The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit immediately understood.
"Besides them, who else likes to play these little tricks?" Ouyang Shuo said.
"What could it be that made these lords dare to take such a risk?" The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit muttered to himself. Then, he said slowly, "Could it be something that can be exchanged for military resource points?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly and said with a smile, "Most likely!"
Not to mention other things, just the "Exquisite Military Map" was enough to make these lords scramble for it. Without this map, they basically had no chance of winning.
That was why these lords were willing to take such a risk.
"How despicable!"
The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit didn't hide his disdain for Di Chen and the others.
However, Ouyang Shuo remained indifferent.
He was afraid that Di Chen and the others would be fooled by their own cleverness.
How could a lord who could squeeze his territory into the top 50 in China be a fool?
Yes, Ouyang Shuo and the others had military resource points, but didn't Di Chen and the others have military resource points?
It wasn't hard to come up with a conclusion.
Compared to them, the three allied armies of the [Shanhai Alliance] were even more difficult to deal with.
Presumably, Di Chen and the others had also realized this point.
When they set off in the morning, Ouyang Shuo specially looked around, but he didn't see the three from the [Yanhuang Alliance]. They should have already left.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo believed that there must be a group of rats following behind them.
The current situation was that the two allied armies had become the targets of the other lords.
"This mission is getting more and more interesting." Ouyang Shuo smiled.
The Dragon-Seeking Acupuncture Unit was dumbfounded. He didn't know how his big brother could still smile at this time.
Scratching his head, he could only bitterly return to the army.
… …
Just like that, Ouyang Shuo led his troops forward slowly in the vast desert with a group of people following behind him.
To the lords behind them, they didn't want to rob them directly.
If they could just follow the army of Shanhai City, why would they bother? Of course, if someone was willing to be the vanguard, it would be a different story.
For the entire morning, the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.
The mutant army had truly entered the depths of the desert.
Looking around, there was only endless desert in front of them.
Apart from sand, there was only sand in their eyes.
At the beginning, their curiosity towards the desert had turned into boredom and boredom.
Especially as time passed, the temperature of the desert became higher and higher. By noon, the scorching sun was already high in the sky. The scorching sun scorched the earth, making it hard for people to raise their spirits.
These mutant armies had no experience in fighting in the desert. It was even their first time seeing the desert. Therefore, under such circumstances, the entire team seemed rather listless.
Even Little White was a little listless.
Last night, Ouyang Shuo had checked on Little White's injuries. Luckily, they were only superficial wounds. After applying medicine on them, Little White's body was fine.
"Marquis, something's wrong."
Suddenly, Huyan Qiu, who had been silent all this time, came to Ouyang Shuo's side.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that a sandstorm will come soon." Huyan Qiu reported the bad news.
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was high and the clouds were light. He couldn't see anything strange at all.
Of course, Huyan Qiu was a professional, so Ouyang Shuo naturally followed his advice. He immediately ordered the army to shrink their formation.
"Can we find a place to hide from the wind?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Facing a sandstorm, it was obviously the worst plan.
