The armed forces of the trade caravan were not weak, but the desert bandits were stronger.
This was a battle for survival in the desert, and it was unavoidable.
Hundreds of desert bandits charged forward, and their sound was like the beating of drums. In a moment, the trade caravan fell to the ground amidst screams, and blood soaked the yellow sand.
In less than five minutes, no one in the trade caravan was spared. They were all dead. On the other hand, only a few of the desert bandits were injured.
The leader of the desert bandits was the man with the braided beard. His name was Geralt. His skin was dark, and his eagle-like eyes were sharp.
He rode his horse to the top of the sand dune and looked in the direction of Elba Oasis. Under the sand dune, his subordinates were plundering the spoils of war.
"Leader, what should we do with the remaining armored bulls?" A man with thick hair came behind Geralt.
Geralt said calmly, "Kill them and take out their stomachs."
"Yes."
The man heard and rode the red-eyed armored bull down the sand dune.
Other than the stomachs for water, the meat of the armored bull could also be used as food. The desert bandits understood this, but Geralt said that they would only take out the stomachs, so the desert bandits gave up on the idea of cutting the meat.
People in the desert were seeking survival, but the desert bandits were different. They were like locusts, and wherever they went, there was nothing left.
After dealing with the spoils of war, the hundreds of desert bandits continued to wander around the oasis aimlessly. Any team that wanted to go to the oasis or came out of the oasis was their target.
.....
In the palace of the Third Prince.
Fatima sat with her head buried. Her ears were slightly red, like an ostrich hiding its head.
William's expression was calm. He accepted Law's explanation because Fatima did not object.
"Fatima, Father summons you."
William looked at Fatima, who was upset.
"Sixth Prince Goro is here?" Fatima suddenly raised her head.
"It should take another three days to reach Elba. Father summoned you now, so he must have made a decision," William said.
Fatima's expression changed. Her feet were rooted to the ground. She did not want to get up, nor did she want to move.
She did not want to marry, nor did she want to be the unlucky one among the seven princesses.
"As a member of the royal family, you have no choice," William said to Fatima, not minding Law's presence.
"Then why can you?" Fatima suddenly slammed the table and stood up. The chair under her fell back and made a sound.
William looked at the agitated Fatima and calmly said, "Because I'm not interested in that position."
Fatima was silent. Her agitated emotions gradually calmed down. She met William's calm gaze for a while, and finally walked past William and Law expressionlessly towards the door.
Until Fatima left, William did not turn back to look at her.
"Excuse me." William looked sideways at Law.
"Uh, no," said Luo.
William nodded and went straight to the point. "I can leave in two days. I'll prepare the supplies."
"I might have to take someone with me," Law said.
"Psychic?" William asked.
Luo nodded.
"Sure, I'll send someone to inform you when I'm ready." Hearing that it was a telekinesis ability user, William agreed. They were going to the restricted area, and it was better to have no members than to have too many.
"Okay." Law got up and was about to leave. He looked at William and asked, "Why do you want to go to the restricted area?"
William looked at Law, his eyes calm. After a moment, he said, "There's a person's bones that shouldn't be left there. She has to come back here."
"Got it."
Law did not ask who she was and left the palace.
He had to go to the Goro oasis, and the restricted area was also a place he had to go.
Returning to Sargo's house, Law went to Lin Nie's room and said, "I'm going to Goro."
"It's your freedom to go wherever you want," said Lin Nie.
"I have to tell you." Law laughed.
Lin Nie did not speak.
"How long will it take for your waist to recover? I'm still waiting for you to teach me, "Law asked.
Lin Nie snorted and said, "I'll let you know when I recover."
"Okay, then I'm going to eat." Law gestured and turned to leave.
At this time, Lin Nie suddenly said, "The danger in the restricted area is not low. Be careful."
Law stopped, scratched his head and said, "I still can't hide it from you. Don't worry. No matter how dangerous it is, it's definitely not as dangerous as the Dark Continent. And I'll do what I can."
As soon as his voice fell, he simply left.
Lin Nie looked at the door that opened and then closed again in silence.
Outside the door, Sargo leaned against the wall and looked sideways at Law who came out.
Seeing Sargo, Rose was not surprised. Her eyes paused on Sargo for a moment, and then went straight to the stairs.
Sargo followed, and the two went downstairs and came to the shop together.
"You're going to the restricted area?" Sargo asked.
Bohara was looking at the stall at the door of the shop. When he heard Sargo's words, he immediately looked over.
"Yes." Law replied.
"Countless people have died there in the past hundred years. With so many examples, are you blind or have a hole in your brain?" Sargo was so agitated that he spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva when he spoke.
Law stepped back gently to avoid Sargo's saliva and said seriously, "How will you know the result if you don't try?"
"Is there a need to try? You can't even pass through the sandstorm! "Sargo said coldly.
Law shrugged and suddenly said, "Does Sa Ling have anything on her that can prove her identity?"
"What do you mean?" Sargo's face tightened.
"If I can go in, I may be able to bring her out when I come out." Law did not directly mention the word 'bones', but the meaning was not far from the truth.
"Who do you think you are?"
Sargo's face suddenly became very bad. After throwing down a sentence, he angrily went out of the shop.
Law watched Sargo go away. He could probably guess why Sargo had such a reaction.
He looked at Bohara and said, "Come with me to a place the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Bohara directly agreed.
That night, Sargo returned drunk and fell directly at the door of the shop. He was found by Bohara and brought back to the room.
Two days later, at noon, William sent a person to inform Law to go directly to the North Gate to meet him.
Because William said that he would prepare the supplies, Law and Bohara did not take too many things with them when they went out.
When Law and Bohara walked a distance, Sargo, who was sitting on a low stool, suddenly said, "She has a picture frame pendant with a picture of me and her inside."
Law paused for a moment, looked back at Sargo and said, "Got it. Take care of Lin Nie."
With that, he left.
Thirty minutes later, Law and Bohara came to the North Gate. On the edge of the open space, there were three armored cows with many packages hanging on them. Beside them stood a burly man wearing a hat and a mask.
Law saw the well-dressed man and recognized at a glance that it was William. He walked straight over and said in surprise, "Are you alone?"
William pulled down his mask slightly and said indifferently, "Do you think anyone else wants to go there?"
As soon as his voice fell, a person suddenly ran out of the passing crowd and came to them, saying, "Me too."
It was a plain-looking woman. Her body was wrapped in a large robe and her figure could not be seen.
Law and William looked at the woman and raised their eyebrows almost at the same time.
"Go back!" William's tone was angry.
Law felt quite helpless. The woman's voice and the faint smell of perfume made him recognize that it was Fatima. It was just that he did not know what method she used to change her appearance.
If Law could recognize her, so could William.
