Chapter 1271
Jodel was observing the Tusk City through a peephole of a deserted house in the Tusk Castle . Due to the difference in elevation, he could only spy a small area outside the city gate . This would be the first stronghold they had to seize after the battle broke out .
In this operation, Mojins would advance first .
This did not mean, however, that Brian thought Mojins were disposable . In fact, they had earned this opportunity .
The general rule in the Southernmost Region was to prove oneself through power and strength, and attain resources through victories .
Jodel was from a small clan in the oasis . As the Silver Stream Oasis gradually shrank, his clan was on the brink of extinction . That was the reason that he had risked himself dealing with northerners in the first place . But now, all the clansmen had relocated to the Port of Clearwater, the permanent oasis that they had dreamed about . It was a reward from the chief for the victory of the battle against the Wildwave and Cut Bone clans .
Jodel requested to join this battle simply because he wanted to kill as many enemies as possible in exchange for greater rewards . He did not really care about who the enemies were . Fighting demons was actually better than living in fear of hunger, thirst, and uncertainty of the future .
Jodel believed that most Sand Nationals had the same feeling .
"Did you find anything?" someone asked him from behind .
"No, except that the Red Mist gets thicker . I can't see anything," Jodel said as he blocked the peephole quietly and turned around .
The one who put questions was Farry, the youngest soldier in the unit . Even his gun was taller than him . A deep scar ran the length of his face from his forehead all the way to the corner of his mouth, making his young face look a little grotesque . Jodel remembered his outstanding performance during the training, despite his young age . Even some of the most experienced warriors found it hard to beat him .
Jodel was surprised that Farry had yet made his name in the small oasis . He had actually never heard of him before .
"We've been waiting for two weeks, right?" Farry complained . "It's so boring getting stuck here with hundreds of people . "
"Didn't Sir Brian say that the demons have flying Devilbeasts? In order not to attract the demons' attention, we have to wait," Jodel answered . "Haven't you hunted before? It's common for us to wait for half a month to ambush a sandworm . Be patient . "
According to the operation plan, Iron Axe had sent around 2,000 people to the northern part of the Broken Tooth Castle where these soldiers dispersed and hid themselves . Another 1,000 soldiers were sent to the inner city in the south as a reserve unit . Their hiding spot looked no different than a ruin from outside, but the inside was pretty spacious . Its upper level was used for scouting while the lower level served as a temporary residence . Soldiers were supplied with water and food . Bedrooms and washrooms were separated . Although there was, inevitably, some odor, it was much more sanitary than where they had lived during the hunting event .
Jodel did not quite understand why Farry suddenly started to complain .
"You don't understand," Farry returned hesitantly as he glared at Jodel and slumped against the wall . "What do you think these iron barrels are used for? The demons have come, but they haven't done anything but digging and burying . "
"I have no idea . . . but it's the chief's invention . I'm not surprised . "
He had seen too many marvelous tools and weapons in the past one year .
