Chapter 647: Partition (I)
At this time, the grassland has a hint of yellowing, although a single grass still looks green, but this grassland gives people the feeling that there is already a hint of yellowing, although it is still vibrant, but the atmosphere of decay can not be concealed.
The leader of the sand lizard knights did not run away, but completed his last mission, which can be said to help those brothers who died in battle to collect the bodies, or to bury those steppe cavalry.
At the feet of the leader of the sand lizard knights, there was a withered yellow meadow, and the grass here seemed to be particularly dry, as if it had been roasted by the scorching sun and had no trace of moisture, which was obviously not an abnormal situation. The leader of the Sand Lizard Knights didn't show the slightest surprise at the situation here, as if this was supposed to be the way it should be.
"Brothers, go all the way, Shurima will not forget your exploits." The leader of the sand lizard knights said silently, as if he was seeing off his brother. Then, a small flame appeared in his hand, the flame was very faint, but it was definitely enough to ignite the savannah.
"Brothers, I'll collect your bodies." After the leader of the sand lizard knights finished speaking, the flames fell from his hands, and the already very dry grassland was ignited in an instant, at first it was only a faint small flame, but as the flames spread, it became bigger and bigger, more and more intense, and soon, there was already a tendency to burn the prairie fire.
If you look at it from the air, you will find that a yellow crescent moon appeared on the prairie, just wrapping the battlefield of the sand lizard knights and the steppe cavalry in it, and soon, this yellow crescent moon turned red, and infected the surrounding green territory, as if unwilling to be a crippled existence, as if to complete itself.
A rabbit was gnawing on the roots of a grass, and a wolf was staring at the rabbit not far away, slowly approaching, suddenly, the wolf stopped, and the rabbit also raised its head, both seemed to find each other, but they ignored each other, and then, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, they quickly ran towards the other end of the grassland.
Soon, the whole grassland became restless, and all kinds of animals began to run and run in all directions, and for these animals living in the grassland, they had a common natural enemy, that is, the grassland fire.
Gandalf listened carefully, he was sure that he was hearing something, and it was getting clearer and clearer, but in addition to that, the ground began to shake, and Gandalf remembered that the vibration was similar to that of the steppe cavalry charge, but it was a little more chaotic.
"How did the fire cloud appear at this time?" Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky in the distance and said suspiciously, this sentence made Gandalf suddenly break out in a cold sweat, he finally knew what was going on with this vibration and sound, this was the movement of thousands of horses galloping, and the cause of this phenomenon was obviously the burning cloud, no, it should be said that the grassland fire.
"Retreat, everyone retreats, abandon all baggage, and retreat into the depths of the steppe." Gandalf yelled frantically, as a man of the grassland, he never thought of igniting the grassland, because no matter how they fought, the grassland would be their home, and if they set fire to the grassland, they would destroy the enemy at the same time, and their homeland would also be burned, so although the fighting on the grassland often happened, no one ignited the grassland.
And Shurima's people obviously did not have such concerns, and the burning clouds on the sky were proof, at this time, Gandalf no longer had the heart to pursue the leader of the fleeing sand lizard knights, and the most important thing to do now was to flee for his life.
Soon, most of the steppe cavalry realized what was happening, and while their faces were pale, they quickly climbed onto their horses, threw down everything that affected the speed of their horses, and then ran towards the depths of the grassland.
The escape direction of the steppe cavalry can be said to be contrary to the direction of the great leader of the steppe, and the figure of meeting with the big leader as soon as possible is already destined to be unfinished, which leaves a haze in Gandalf's heart, he knows the character of the big leader too well, this time, even if he does not die, he will not have any chance.
"My lord, what should we do now, the Great Leader asked us to hurry over as soon as possible before leaving, but now ......," one of Gandalf's henchmen asked worriedly, as he approached Gandalf's side.
"The Great Leader should be able to understand our distress and not blame us." Gandalf knew that he must not let his subordinates lose confidence at this time, otherwise, the army would collapse in an instant.
"My lord, I don't know if I should say a word." Gandalf's henchman hesitated, keeping an eye on Gandalf's expression, for when he said this, Gandalf should have guessed what he was going to say.
"Wait a little longer, the big leader will not necessarily lose, and besides, we have nowhere to go now, and at this time, no one will take us in." Gandalf sighed and said, how could he not know that his future had been ruined, but now the entire grassland is not peaceful, in the face of Shurima's army pressing, the entire grassland has gathered together, although there are contradictions within the grassland, but in the face of foreign invasion, all tribes give up their prejudices to the outside world, which is also the tradition of the grassland, all, he really has nowhere to go now.
"My lord, I don't know if you want to go to the east to have a look, as far as your subordinates know, there is already a rising momentum, my lord, you take us over, you will definitely become an important force on the side, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to become the leader of a party."
Gandalf suddenly turned his head to look at his henchman, and if he couldn't see that this henchman had already made contact with some people, Gandalf would not be worthy to be the captain of the Ten Thousand Masters. However, Gandalf did not say much, as if he could not hear his words, and asked: "What can I do, although there is chaos there, but I do not think that with this army of ten thousand people can stand firm, although it is a plate of scattered sand, but the eastern plains have now gathered into mounds of sand, and it is definitely not something that we people can shake." ”
"My lord, a feather can sometimes overwhelm a camel, the key is to see where the feather falls, when it falls, I think, our weight should not be comparable to that feather, and those people in the eastern plains can't be camels, at most a little lamb that has just landed, the subordinates guarantee that as long as the adults bring the army over, they will definitely be able to get a great wealth." Gandalf's henchman patted his chest and assured.
