Chapter 139 Desert Enemy Shadow
On the desolate Gobi Desert, sometimes it is as quiet as fog, which is suffocatingly quiet. Occasionally, a column of yellow sand will be lifted into the sky by a whirlwind, and there will be an inexplicable quiet atmosphere; The entire natural world is wiped out under his power, which makes people fearful and helpless.

The Great Gobi of Fogamont is located on the border between the Ottoman Principality and the Stevey Empire.Legend has it that this place used to be an ancient battlefield. Under the desolate gravel, there were countless desolate souls.

It was dusk, and a mighty large army marched slowly from afar.It makes this lifeless and desolate Gobi have a bit of fireworks.

In the middle of the convoy, there was a luxurious carriage surrounded by stars.

The dark yellow gravel made the carriage bump all the way, and the strong wind like a knife also blew the faces of the marching people with pain.

In the middle of the Gobi Desert, there is another cavalry that has been ambushing for a long time. These cavalry are all wearing dark yellow cloaks that are similar to the color of the sand under their feet. From a distance, they seem to have merged with the desolate Gobi Desert.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, stirring up sand and gravel all over the ground.

But these cavalrymen still didn't change their faces, holding the reins of the horses under their crotches with both hands, letting the sharp sand and stones hit their bodies.

Angus tightened his cloak, with a solemn face and steel-like eyes, looking at the yellow sand in the distance.

But the young man named William had already returned to the camp he had set up early, avoiding the erosion of wind and sand.

Not long after, the air around Angus trembled, and Matthew, who he sent out to investigate intelligence, came back
"So? How far are their troops from us? Can they arrive before dark?"

Seeing Matthew, Angus's steady and powerful voice sounded.

Matthew sighed, and replied in a strange tone:
"It's very strange. It stands to reason that if they followed the normal marching speed, they should have entered our ambush circle before dark, but they stopped marching ahead of time and set up camp directly in place."

Angus frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky. There was still some time before dark. Normal people shouldn't stop marching at this time.

Matthew pursed his lips slightly and guessed: "Could it be that their people are not used to marching in the desert, so they rested early?"

Angus nodded and said, "It's possible, but we can't take it lightly."

Matthew hesitated and said, "Why don't we take the initiative to attack, and sneak attack tonight when they are exhausted?"

Angus waved his hand and said: "No, no matter what, there are tens of thousands of them. If we attack rashly, we will be very conspicuous in this empty desert. Once they are prepared, even if we can defeat them by then, we will not be able to defeat them." It is impossible to completely eliminate them. In such an empty desert, tens of thousands of people are running, how do you catch them? Or wait until they enter our ambush circle before starting to act."

Matthew said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Today is the date set by His Royal Highness. Didn't the order require us to wipe them all out tonight?"

Angus thought for a while with a solemn expression, and said, "Well, you go and call that William over, and I will discuss it with him and see if we can accommodate some time."

Not long after, William came over under the leadership of Matthew.

"What's the matter? Is Helen's people coming soon?" William asked.

Angus shook his head and said:
"Things have changed a bit and we may have to change our plans a bit."

After letting Matthew back down, he told William the situation he was facing now.

"You mean you can't act tonight? You have to wait until tomorrow to destroy Hellen's army?" William asked in a bad tone after listening to Angus' narration.

Angus nodded.

William was furious when he saw this: "No, you must complete the task tonight!"

Angus frowned deeply, and said in a low tone: "No, the time has not come. It is not good for us to attack now. I have to be responsible to my brothers."

William snorted coldly: "Do you want to resist the decree? The time His Royal Highness explained is tonight!"

Angus' face was gloomy, and his tone was a little angry:
"Your Excellency William, is there any difference between tonight and tomorrow night? Isn't the key to the mission to destroy Hellen's army? When they enter our ambush circle tomorrow, we will have a greater chance of winning! Is it just because A time request, am I going to make fun of the lives of my three thousand brothers?"

William just snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "I don't care what you think, I only know that the Grand Duke sent me here to let me supervise you to faithfully perform the tasks he entrusted to you, I don't care what method you use, tomorrow Before the sun rises, you must complete the task for me!"

After speaking, he shook his sleeve robe coldly, threw the badge in his arms to Angus's eyes, and strode away.

Angus clenched his hands fiercely, the sharp nails cut the skin on the palm of his hand, and blood dripped down.His eyes were full of anger, and looking at the badge engraved with the Ottoman national emblem, he felt the bone-chilling cold all over his body, and waves of powerlessness kept hitting him like rolling waves.

Looking down at his bloody hands, Angus couldn't help but sigh:

"Wrong the country and the people, wrong the country and the people!"

Matthew heard the voice, walked over quickly, supported the trembling Angus, and said:

"General, what should we do now? This guy has a personal order from His Royal Highness, so we can't directly disobey it! Otherwise, I'll take my brothers and charge straight away. Anyway, I don't think that little nobleman will lead troops to fight. people."

Angus shook his head and said:
"You can't act rashly like this. Let's talk about it later, when I go to their barracks with you to investigate in person."

Matthew nodded in agreement.

Time passed quickly, and the thick night shrouded the desolate desert again.

After tidying up his luggage, Angus was dressed in night clothes, and was about to go to the barracks where Hellen and others were stationed to find out what happened, but unexpectedly, that William opened the door again and walked in:
"Where are you going?" William asked in a bad tone.

Angus said: "I will go to the enemy's barracks to check the situation. If there is no problem, I will launch an attack tonight as you wish!"

"It's really troublesome!" William muttered, "Hurry up and come back, it's getting late, if you haven't acted before the sun rises tomorrow, don't blame me for complaining to His Royal Highness!"

Angus suppressed his anger, slowed down his voice, and said earnestly: "Your Excellency William, I hope you will be more careful after I leave, and you must step up your vigilance, and you must not..."

William waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, ok, it's really long-winded, I get it! You guys go!" He left the camp immediately.

Watching William leave, Angus sighed heavily, called a few guards, and whispered:
"Remember, we will add a few more teams to patrol in a while, and we must pay attention to safety tonight!"

Several guards took the order and explained a few more things. Angus followed Matthew and left the camp, heading towards the position where Helen was stationed.
