Death Sand Sea Gavra Desert
This is the edge of the core area between the Cretan Empire and the center of humanity. It is also the dividing line. Crossing the Sahara Desert is the legendary Batko Empire.
A hundred years ago, the Batko Empire was just a legend to humans living in the south and the western world. This legendary desert empire was located in the core area of the Alan Continent with the Crete Empire at its center. of mystery.
According to legend, the Batko Empire lived in the desert. Many people in Zhongzhou believed that the barbarians from the Batko Empire who lived in barren and desolate areas had special bloodlines, which could support their survival in the desert.
Throughout the Batko region, the way of survival of tribes and blood clan relationships has been maintained. The barren and desolate environment made the battles here extremely fierce. The Batko Empire was the first country to unify this area.
The tribes and clans of the talented and strategic first monarch Yepuima Batko relied on the strength and marriage of the tribes several generations ago, and gradually annexed nearby small tribes and began to grow.
Starting from Yep, the entire Batko region was conquered and unified, and the huge Batko Empire was established here.
Its geographical area was once close to the Cretan Empire, the largest country in Zhongzhou. Its reputation and strength were also brought back to Zhongzhou with some merchants who had gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, and it was widely spread in the area controlled by the Light Church.
Everyone knows that at the other end of the Gavra Desert, the Sea of Death, there is a powerful desert empire named Batko.
But in fact, the Batko Empire fell into decline more than a hundred years ago. The empire, which was maintained by tribal and bloodline systems, was gradually weakening from generation to generation. The rulers of the country were no longer able to control the entire huge empire. empire.
Each tribe became independent one after another, and began to refuse to accept the emperor's orders and no longer pay taxes to the emperor. Then, the city-state of Fansai from the Tutan Dynasty led an army to invade the Batko Empire.
The Tutan Dynasty was a country that belonged to a city-state alliance, and the city of Versai was one of the most brave and adept at fighting, with tough folk customs. In the forty-sixth year of the Holy Calendar, the coalition forces formed by the city-states of Versai burned, killed, and looted all the way. Barber City, the political center of Batko.
In a short period of time, they went all the way down, captured the city of Barbour, and destroyed the Batko Empire. They burned the palace, killed the last emperor of Batko, and looted the entire city of Barbour. The belated reinforcements came The leaders of the major tribes and clans could only watch helplessly as the Fansai city-state army, which had looted a large amount of gold and silver treasures, left in a majestic manner.
They looked down upon the barren land of the Batko Empire, but these plundered them. From the moment the Batko Empire was established, they never stopped invading and plundering the Batko border. Even the small surrounding countries continued to decline and split. Invasions are underway in the Batko region.
The demise of Barber City and the Batko royal family announced the complete collapse of the entire Desert Empire dynasty. The entire Batko Empire returned to an era of rule based entirely on tribes and clans.
Tribes are constantly fighting, fighting, and annexing each other for limited water sources and pastures. The tribes and clans in the Batko area are competing for living space, further causing chaos to spread throughout the Batko area.
At the same time, due to the rise of the early Light Church, a large number of beliefs and religions that were different from the Light Church gradually fled from the Central Plains and the West and entered many places in the Batko region and south of Batko due to the crazy suppression and exclusion of the Light Church. Foreign country.
The Tutan Dynasty in the East, a special civilization composed of an alliance of city-states, as well as a special belief and civilization system, made it difficult for these religions to integrate into it.
Over the past few decades, these religions have gradually integrated into various tribes and clans in the Batko area. On this barren land, you can see various religious worship and ancestor worship, where hundreds of flowers bloom, and people are in pain and disaster. Among them, the desire for faith has been further expanded. A large number of temples stand here, forming a unique style belonging to Batko.
The endless sand sea, the undulating sand dunes, a caravan walking in this golden world, the sun shining on the sand, the reflected light seems to turn into golden yellow, desolate and beautiful, with a special feeling. exotic.
But at this moment, the caravan walking in the desert can only feel that the whole world is dazzling and hot, making people feel like they are in a scorching hell.
Lu Zhiyu was riding on a camel, followed by Eva in a cloak and a muzzle. The caravan was walking on the desert. The road was not completely desolate. Occasionally, some cacti and shrubs could be seen. You can see some of these special signs that the caravan owner Grumman relies on to identify the road.
Everyone in the caravan was a little listless. When they first entered the desert, some people felt novel and fresh, and kept talking and asking questions. Now the entire caravan seems to be silent, and everything seems to be silent. He was walking like a machine, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
By now, Lu Zhiyu and the White Rose caravan have entered the Gavra Desert for a full month. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhiyu relied on the "finding water source" method he read in the book on the way, he found The oasis has been repaired and replenished, but the entire caravan may have died of thirst in the sea of death sand.
Fortunately, except for encountering a sand snake following the caravan and constantly launching sneak attacks, which was easily dealt with by Lu Zhiyu, and then a guard was stung by a scorpion, other than that, I was not lucky enough. Encountering any danger, Lu Zhiyu and Eva were respected by the caravan.
Many people in the caravan believed that this pair of men and women who looked like they had walked out of a painting, had a lot of knowledge, and had extraordinary conversation, were upper-class people with noble blood, and had the luck of being blessed by the gods. The business trip went so smoothly, ordinary people have no doubt about luck and gods.
But even so, when the caravan arrived here, everyone was almost exhausted. All they could see when they opened their eyes all day long was endless sand.
When you first watched it, you may have been fascinated by its special beauty that smelled of death and desolation, but at this moment, you can only feel fear and fear.
Everyone's footsteps sink deeply into the sand, and when lifted or dropped, it feels extremely heavy. Human footprints, camel footprints, and long caravans leave a long trace in the desert.
"Where are we?"
"How long until we get out of the desert!"
"Why does this place feel so familiar? We won't be walking around in circles!"
Everyone felt that their eyes were covered with sweat, and all kinds of doubts and fears kept pouring out of their heads. They were so exhausted that they might collapse at any time. Several people in the team had already suffered from heatstroke.
At this moment, a special movement suddenly appeared on the side, and someone immediately shouted. Everyone looked up and saw yellow smoke in the distance blocking the sky, connected with the thin layer of clouds in the sky, like a monster. It generally opened its mouth and swept towards their direction.
The yellow smoke and dust stirred incessantly, and its momentum was like a stormy wave, covering all the sand dunes and the skyline in the distance. With the force of thunder, it swallowed up everything in the distance and came here.
"what is that?"
The owner of the White Rose Caravan, Grumman, was standing at the front of the caravan. He suddenly pulled the camel, and his face instantly turned pale as he looked at the scene in the distance.
"sandstorm!"
