Now that emergencies have arisen, the plan naturally needs to be revised. The originally very generous trade negotiations with Inazuma were compressed into three days. Nasida didn't want to waste any more time and quickly finalized the most important items. Agreement was reached, and the rest was left to the instructors.

During these three days, Niwa also took the time to issue orders to mobilize the strength of the National Defense Forces. Since the main purpose of this tour was for comfort and diplomacy, the National Defense Forces Staff Group did not accompany the tour, which caused a shortage of manpower for military dispatch. Fortunately, the Qianyan Army Corps led by Qu Kui happened to be visiting Omos Port, and Coral Palace Xinhai took the initiative to join in, finally allowing Niyu's temporary headquarters to operate smoothly.

Soon, orders were issued from Omos Port, ordering the Xumi City garrison to strengthen inspections of the anti-sand walls, and at the same time increasing the number of border observation posts to prevent the desert rebels from sneaking into the hinterland of the rainforest area to cause destruction. The Kavanyi garrison was ordered to strengthen Be alert, closely monitor the desert area, maintain contact with Aru Village, and deliver news at any time.

However, shortly after everything was set up, an unexpected news came.

"What? All patrol units within the lower wind erosion area have lost contact?" Niyu frowned, with disbelief in his tone, "What about Aru Village? Is there any news from Disiya and Candice? "

The messenger was a former foreign legionnaire. Hearing this, he hurriedly saluted: "No! General Rosenbabo discovered that the caravan from Aru Village was more than three days late, so he sent three groups of 20 elite soldiers into the desert to try to I contacted Aru Village, but they all disappeared!”

Lucenbabo was directly captured after being soaked by the Seventh Army in a previous battle against the Order. He then declared his allegiance to the Grass God and joined the newly established Sumeru Defense Force.

Because this man had outstanding abilities and had been stationed at Kavanyi for many years, he was a rare general in Sumeru who was very familiar with the desert area. Niyu finally defied all opinions and arranged for him to return to Kavanyi and continue to serve as the chief general stationed in this important town. .

Luxembabo was very moved by this and has redoubled his efforts in the past few months. With the help of the more powerful former Foreign Legion, he even established a regular patrol system on the trade road from Aru Village to Kavanyi, which greatly frightened the desert bandits and greatly increased the confidence of the merchants.

In the past few months, business exchanges between the desert and rainforest areas have increased several times compared with previous years, accelerating the recovery of people's livelihood and economy in the rainforest areas, and Luxembabo has played an important role.

Niyu is well aware of Lucenbabo's abilities. This person is cautious and meticulous. When faced with the current unknown situation, he will definitely shrink his troops and strengthen his alert to ensure that there is no problem in Kavanei. But in this case, if you want to get information about the desert rebels or Aru Village, you can only rely on fate.

"Three batches of 60 scouts disappeared in the desert in a row, and none of them came back... The enemy we face this time may be extremely powerful!" Xinhai analyzed calmly.

Niyu thought for a moment and then asked the messenger: "How is the weather in the desert recently?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly: "It's no different from before. It's still hot as hell, but the sandstorms seem to be more frequent. They happen almost every day, but the scale varies."

Niwa then looked at Xinkai and said: "According to Dainsreib's information, these rebels migrated from the Thousand Valley Sands. I'm afraid they are very adapted to the sandstorm environment. It is not ruled out that they can use the cover of the sandstorm to raid our army. If so, So, it’s not surprising that all the scouts were wiped out.”

Xinhai nodded and asked with some worry: "Do you think the frequent sandstorms have something to do with them?"

"We don't know yet, but I tend not to think so." Niwa spread his hands, "It is the power of the gods to change the weather. Unless they hold a divine creation like the Faluna Divine Machine in their hands, it is unlikely that they will have this power. .”

Nasida raised her head and looked at Niyu, "Then what should we do next? Should we wait for news, or try to enter the desert?"

"Of course we have to find a way to get into the desert!"

Niyu looked up at the officers in the room and said decisively: "Aru Village is the only large stronghold in the lower wind erosion area. If the rebels are allowed to occupy this place, they can use it as a starting point to launch an uninterrupted attack on the sand wall. Impact, if you hold on for too long you will lose!"

"But Aru Village shouldn't be occupied that easily, right? Candice and Disia are both there..." Nasida said in surprise.

Niyu shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, imagine if you and a small number of soldiers were trapped in a fortress besieged by a sandstorm. With the internal and external isolation, you are surrounded by tens of thousands of old, weak, women and children. What is called outside The rebels are your compatriots, will you resist resolutely and expect reinforcements sent by alien gods?"

"Alien...god..." Nasida was stunned for a moment.

"Obviously, not all desert people think that you are their protector... To put it more bluntly, most of the desert people, including Rahman, who choose to cooperate with the Holy Order, only regard you as an 'ally' Rather than 'object of allegiance'. Because of this, if Fertad, who is also a follower of the Red King, is a smart man, he is likely to choose to surrender Aru Village." Niwa said calmly.

Nasida quickly understood, and her emerald green pupils showed determination, "If this is the case, then we must get in touch with Aru Village as soon as possible! If Aru Village, which trusts us the most, is allowed to be captured by the rebels, the desert people will You will never trust us again!"

"That's right, my Highness! This is a war for the hearts of the people, and we cannot retreat even a little bit!" Niyu agreed.

Seeing that the coach had made up his mind, the officers present not only showed no hesitation or fear, but showed excitement on their faces, stood at attention and saluted flat-chested!

"Please give orders to His Majesty Cao Shen, General (most of the officers are from Liyue, and they are still used to calling Niyu General)!"

Niyu nodded slightly and said to Nasida: "The plan has not kept pace with the change. It is already too late to mobilize troops from Sumeru City. We must set off immediately. Kavanyi's troops cannot move. We can mobilize at most a few hundred people in Omos Port... … This matter cannot be delayed, we have to take some risks.”

Nasida put on a small face and said solemnly: "This is the duty that the gods of Xumi should perform. Please tell me your plan, my great sage!"

----------

Early the next morning, an army of about 800 men left the port of Olmos at dawn.

Outside the port, Niwa handed a letter to Kamisato Ayaka who came to see her off. "Miss Ayaka, please be sure to hand this letter to Ayaka in person. She should be following the man named Dains Reib." If you go to the northern part of the rainforest, you should pay attention to safety on the road."

Ayaka nodded vigorously, "I will find her. Mr. Niwa, please be sure to pay attention to your safety."

After saying that, she looked at Xinhai who was dressed in a desert folk costume and said, "Miss Xinhai, you too, please be sure to pay attention to your safety."

Xinhai nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Miss Linghua, I will pay attention to safety."

Niwa then looked at Yae Shenzi and said: "I have ordered the acting secretary of administrative affairs, Al Haisen, to cooperate with you. You can use the resources of the Order Academy at will, but you cannot discount the effectiveness of the publicity! Do it well this time , the whole of Sumeru will thank you!"

Yae Shenzi yawned lazily and waved his hands casually: "Don't worry, Sidai-sama. I'm not as good as you when it comes to leading an army in battle, but when it comes to publicity, you're far behind me."

After hearing this, Niyu stopped talking, turned around, mounted a beast of burden, and merged into the long marching column.

When he came to Nacida's side, he saw Nacida's little face raised, looking at the northwest sky with worry.

In the morning light, the northwest sky revealed a faint yellow color - the color of windy sand.

"Nasita? What happened?" Niyu asked.

Nasida came back to her senses and shook her head slightly, "I just had a bad premonition... Something big seems to have happened in the desert. I felt something, but I can't remember what it was."

Niyu was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!"
