Book 3-33 The Wikaly Make a Move (II)

Let’s row our boat forward~

Across the turbulent ocean water to the other side~

Where the reat and the wind is cool, to the land of hope~

Row the oars~

Match it to the bloind, push it through the water and let’s go~[1]

Thriger’s voice rang throughout the ship His voice was so loud that it echoed from his ship in the lead, to the twelfth ship in the back

“Captain-nim, this is not the ocean but a field of sand”

As the first mate who had been with him since the days of the Desert Runner shouted loudly froer waved his hand and shouted back

“This yellow ocean in front of us, what else would you call it but yellow ocean?”

At Thriger’s answer, the firsthe can do about Thriger and focused back on his task

The song that Thriger was singing was so catchy that the warriors ere trained to use the ships started to hu winds as usual, and the sails were catching these winds to push forward quickly

“Hey~ Is the repair going well?”

Thriger shouted loudly toward the flapping sail If you look closer at it, it looked like there were so on the sail

They had each tied their lifeline to the watchtower on top of the sail and were dangling around while e needle

“This isn’t our first day doing needlework After three years on a ship, you’ll become better at needlework than your wife Anyways, ill our newbies learn this needlework? We don’t have only one ship any sails all day”

There was no way for the sails that receive the sandy wind twenty four hours a day to reood shape

In addition, if you let a rip in the sail last just a few days, the wind flows through there and creates an even bigger hole,it completely unusable Thanks to that, the crew hout the day to look for and repair any holes

“Isn’t there nothing I can do? The newbies say needlework is so they cannot do even if they were to die and be reborn We ht just have to carry two to three backup sails in the future”

The desert warriors quickly adjusted to the ship, but they would not even think about doing needlework

Thriger tried to beg and threaten the they won’t do it even if they were beaten to death, Thriger could not do anything about it

“We o to the continent and hire some crew members”

As the crew er shouted back

“I will give you special treatment for your work”

“The desert tribes don’t believe in personal property, so hoill you give me special treatment?”

“Tsk, anyways”

“Hehehe, do not worry I aht

As Thriger clicked his tongue, the crew h and respond

Other than the Desert Runner, the twelve ships with terrible nainal Desert Runner crew, names such as ‘Feet of the Desert,’ and ‘Chunk of Wood that Squirms on the Sand’ were really terrible That hy the crew just called theer was calculating a date in his head He was trying to calculate how late they would be

What they had forget to include in their calculations in the beginning was the transportation of rations They had thought about transporting the warriors through the quicksand river, but they had forgotten about the food to feed these warriors They could move 10,000 warriors at once, but they could not store any rations

For the original team, there was only 150 crew h food on board with theot As for Pareia’s Greatest Warriors, they were not very knowledgeable about ships to begin with, and they assu the amount that could be transported This hy none of them had realized this problematic situation

Because of that, they had to travel across the quicksand river between Pareia and Wikaly twice

If you consider the fact that the path to invade the Wikaly froh, it was norin with That hy he had already sent a er to say they may be late

‘Shit, whatever It is what it is I can’t do anything about it, so no point in worrying”

Thriger showed the calm that crew ain to start singing once more

Let’s row our boat forward~

Across the turbulent ocean water to the other side~

The Wikaly and Pareia’s stalemate had continued for a week already

They did have small scale battles with tens of warriors on each side, but they were all small with only a few casualties It hat you would call reconnaissance battles

The ene to come out, and Pareia also had no desire to clash head on until the warriors from the quicksand took over the center of the Wikaly tribe Because of that, the battlefield eirdly calm and peaceful

The three moons rose up into the air and the darkness spread across the desert Well, the h it was dark, you could still see about 10 around the flanks annoying the warriors of the oasis

Although they only had about 4,000 warriors, they et a good night’s sleep

The Wikaly warriors tried many times to chase after them and catch them, but Vibli and Trebol would wisely shoot so the Wikaly warriors all riled up

They had to do whatever they could to rile them up and instill fear so that more warriors in the rear would come down to this oasis That was the way to make it easier for the quicksand river warriors

That hy they needed to draw the warriors out and play a game of cat and mouse Since they had less warriors, they needed to slowly push back, retreating as ot from the oasis, the better That was the way to reater shock fro trenches in the day to get their rest, Trebol and Vibli’s warriors were running around the sides of the oasis at night shouting and shooting fire arrows to get on the Wikaly warriors’ nerves

Boo as thousands of Wikaly warriors ca us as usual”

Vibli coldlythe warriors to ready their arrows Pareia’s warriors lifted their bows as if they were used to this by now

Vibli noticed a large black item on top of the Wikaly warriors pirured out what it was

“Hoho They e shield with theuess they will chase us for quite a while today!”

As one of the lead warriors shouted back, Vibli nodded his head and ordered

“Ready”
