Half an hour later, on the vast desert, a heavily armed army is slowly descending, the scorching high temperature bakes the earth, but also evaporates the water in the body of this army, and bakes everyone's spirit.

The troops lined up in a column and slowly descended, not going to defend anything at all, the surrounding vision is vast, at a glance, there is no place to hide, there is no need to worry about ambushes, the two white-haired old men in the middle of the team are particularly conspicuous, it is the white-haired god of war and the scorpion brain, the scorpion brain is accompanied by the scorpion king, and the Buddha, the lion eagle and the deputy leader of the desert guard are gathered around, which is convenient for communication and decision-making at any time.

The hot weather baked everyone listlessly, and the strength of the god of war was not spared, but it was a little stronger than the resistance of others, and the water brought by the logistics had already been drunk by everyone, because there was logistics, so there was no worry, and if you want to ensure that it is in good condition, there is no limit to saving.

It will take a while for the logistics to catch up, everyone has pursued all the way here, and they can't stand it anymore, but no one said it, after all, it is a well-trained strongman, endurance and discipline are extraordinary, the team walked slowly, suddenly, there was a commotion in front, the scorpion king hurriedly left the queue, walked to the side to look, and found that the team in front of him stopped, and there was something faintly in the distance.

The heat wave rolled and interfered with people's vision, and it was difficult to distinguish it from the naked eye at a certain distance, and the scorpion king thought it was a mirage, and quickly raised the telescope in surprise, only to find that there were some tall tents in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly roared: "Stop advancing, disperse, and prepare for battle." ”

Everyone quickly dispersed on both sides, invisibly forming an attack formation, everyone knelt on the ground, the gun was on the shoulder and aimed ahead, they all saw the tent in front, no one said a word, the invisible murderous aura diffused, the scorpion king quickly gathered the gods of war together, and said in a deep voice: "There are several large military tents in front." ”

"Our opponents are in a hurry, and it is impossible to carry tents, will it be other armed forces." Scorpion Brain said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and he regained his previous confidence and calmness.

"That's not necessarily, could it be that it was dropped by the Dragon Kingdom? Or arranged for someone to send it quietly? With such a big sun, there are certain tents that are different. Lion Eagle retorted disdainfully.

The scorpion knew that the lion eagle was hostile to him, and he didn't mind, and he didn't even bother to explain, he looked at the white-haired god of war and the Buddha lightly, and said in a deep voice: "There are mercenaries who have accepted the mission, and they are also in this desert, I suspect that it is a certain mercenary, in order to avoid misunderstanding, it is recommended to send someone up to take a look." ”

"Yes." The white-haired god of war and the Buddha nodded in agreement.

"It's still a little far away from here, let's send it closer in the past, if it's really a mercenary, you can take a good rest with the help of their camp tents, and wait for the logistics troops to come up, this vast desert can't go out on both feet, don't worry about the enemy running away." Scorpion Brain laughed.

"That makes sense, let's get closer to five hundred meters." The white-haired god of war agreed.

"Yes." The Buddha also agreed that 500 meters is a safe distance, but if it is an enemy, it can also attack, and the safe distance can quickly become a dangerous distance, and as a god of war, the Buddha knows the benefits of this distance.

"Then it's decided." Scorpion Brain smiled, looked at the Scorpion King, and didn't look at the lion eagle from beginning to end, and didn't even ask for the lion eagle's opinion.

The Scorpion King secretly glanced at the Lion Eagle, snorted coldly and disdainfully, and did not say anything, immediately ordered the troops to continue to advance, and arranged for a henchman to speed up and rush forward to contact the people in the camp.

As a former leader of the mercenary group, the Scorpion King knows very well the rules and habits of mercenaries, and it is necessary to send someone to contact him, the skill reflects respect, and it can also avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. The troops continued to move forward slowly, and under the orders of the Scorpion King, they became a search formation instead of an attack formation, so as not to be misunderstood.

Not long after, everyone came to a distance of five hundred meters from the camp tent, the troops stopped, the scorpion king looked at the many footprints on the ground and his face was a little ugly, and the lion eagle said with disdain: "See no, the footprints are enough to show that our enemy has passed, those are not mercenaries, but the enemy's camp tent." ”

At this time, a person came out of the tent, who was the henchman sent by the Scorpion King, and the Scorpion King's face sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "If it was an enemy, my brother would have died a long time ago, and besides, there was no sign of battle in the tent, not even a figure, what is this?" ”

"Okay, don't make pointless arguments, let the facts do the talking." Scorpion Brain said lightly.

Everyone stopped talking with calm faces, and after waiting for a while, the person who was sent to investigate trotted over, panting, chapped lips, lack of energy, and a sign that he would fall at any time, the Scorpion King greeted him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" What do you think? "Hand over your own water bottle.

The other party took the kettle gratefully and took a sip, didn't dare to drink more, screwed the lid on and handed it back to the Scorpion King, and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, there is no one in it, there is no one, and there is nothing in the tent, it is empty." ”

"No one?" The Scorpion King was startled and looked at the Scorpion Brain.

Scorpion Brain also looked ahead in surprise, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the others were silent, and after a while, Scorpion Brain looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Since the camp tent is empty, whether it was originally inhabited by mercenaries or enemies, they have all left at this time, you can go in and rest for a while, and wait for the logistics troops to come up and then decide, the troops urgently need to rest, otherwise they will all fall." ”

Everyone knows that the troops have been baked to the limit, these people have chased all the way without preparing wet clothes to cool down, and there is no spare extra water bottle, their lips are chapped and bleeding, their heads are dizzy from the sun, and their thinking is a little stagnant.

No one objected to Scorpion's proposal, and the Lion Eagle saw that everyone's opinions were one-sided, and reminded him dissatisfiedly: "What if it's a trap?" Do not forget that our enemies are very cunning and cannot be careless. ”

"If it's a bureau, we should leave something in the tent to attract us over, instead of leaving nothing at all, indicating that they are leaving, leaving in a hurry, and they can't take care of these tents." The Scorpion King said angrily.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's a game, but do we need to be afraid? As long as the camp tent is seized, we hide inside, and the enemy is exposed outside, which one has the advantage? What's more, we still have a large number of mercenaries to help, so when the time comes, why not be a trap? Besides, the troops can't continue to be exposed to the sun, and if they don't hide from the sun, they will all have to be scrapped, even if it's a trap, right? Scorpion Brain said dissatisfiedly.
