Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 7 Chapter 1: exotic

The sun is scorching, and the hot sunlight above the head seems to scorch the whole earth, because there is no trace of wind, the sand on the ground is quietly motionless, and it seems that it is because the weather is too hot, even if It was stepped on with one foot, and the light yellow sand was just squeezed to the sides to form a shallow footprint, and then stepped on the next foot, leaving a new mark.

In front of me was a rolling desert, and the layers of sand dunes that stretched to the distance like waves always seemed to be walking deep into the lure traveler, and there seemed to be some behind every high dune A new world, in fact, if you keep going, you will find that those places will always be dry, and when people find themselves deep into this terrible place of despair, it is too deep, but there is no hope of escaping.

The desert has been a strange and terrible place since ancient times, and if it is among the world ’s largest deserts, even the bravest and most experienced travelers must be careful not to take the wrong step, or wait for their It will be left in this hairless land forever and become the victim of nature's hand that dominates life.

A team of travelers slowly advanced along the ridge of a hill, and the whole team was tightly wrapped. No one dared to expose the skin on the hottest day of noon, if it would not take long for that. Will be peeled by sunburn.

The size of this travel team is not small, the droves of camels are escorted by dozens of people, and the camel bells make a monotonous clanging sound in this terrible and deadly world.

A small person in the ranks curled up between the two humps of a camel. This person, like his companions, wrapped himself up very concealed, except for a pair of eyes, nowhere was exposed.

"We will be able to get to the Sabaro well very soon, and the days will make life easier," the tall, thin men rode on the majestic Arabian horses and hurried forward from the side of the team, carrying a few heavy heads. The camel of the box came to the little man and walked side by side.

His horse looked very spirited and did not show fatigue because of the hot weather.

In fact, horses have more rights than people in the desert. When needed, horses are the first to drink water. If the water is not enough, the head of the team will leave the water for the horse to drink, because experienced travelers know As long as there is a horse, there is still hope.

"How far are we?" It seems that because of the weather, the little man's voice sounded low and hoarse. His eyes exposed outside the headscarf quickly swept over the man, seeming to guess the man's thoughts, But after seeing the man take off the water sac from the saddle, the little man hesitated and took it up and drank his headscarf to drink. After a few sips, he seemed to recover some energy. Looking at the man, he cleared After clearing his throat, he asked, "How far are we going to get to the place?"

Perhaps it was the result of being moistened by water, which sounded a lot more mellow.

This is a woman.

"It's almost the same as the Sabaro Well. The Sabaro Well is the closest oasis in the desert to Matru. Let's take a rest there, and then the next road will be better."

The tall man took the water bag from the woman and picked up the face towel and drank it. His dark skin showed a layer of sweat, showing a healthy color. When the woman looked at him, the man opened his mouth to show his teeth. Laughed, but just saw the woman immediately stop looking at him and stop looking at him, the man shrugged a little helplessly.

"If I ask you why a young woman like you wants to come to such a place, you probably won't tell me," the tall man was very talkative, although he found that the other party didn't seem to want to talk to him more, but he still I was very interested in talking with the woman. "You can see that you are a woman with a long history. Just look at the people you bring to know that you are not simple, but I still don't understand. Are the men in you all dead, actually I want a woman to show up. "

The gaze of a woman glanced at the man in front of her. This man was the guide she used to spend a lot of money to find someone. If you do n’t have these experienced locals to lead the way in such a desert, if you get lost, even an entire army They will also be swallowed up silently, so in order to pass the desert safely, they have found the locals who are most familiar with it.

"We are in business, as you said, all the men in my family are dead." The woman's answer made the guide helpless. He looked at her and began to hesitate. After a few words, He immediately found a reason to urge the horse forward, as if he was hiding from the plague.

The woman ’s eyes showed a smug smile. Although all of them had to rely on this guide to lead the way, she knew she could n’t believe the person completely. This is a place far away from her hometown, and she was shouldering an empire that could affect Mission of Destiny.

In front of the dunes that were vaguely steamed by the hot air on the ground, a strange color seemed to appear on the top of it. A striking green in the desperate yellow was everywhere.

The woman heard the shouting in front of the line. After a long trek, she saw the green at this moment, and everyone couldn't help but sighed. Some people rolled down from the camel or immediately and knelt on the ground. Excited prayers, but the woman did not follow them, because she and these people have different beliefs.

With the removal of the thick headscarf, Mrs. Connie revealed her beautiful face. Although she was a little disgraced because she had been traveling in the desert for a long time, she was originally mentally exhausted and tired at the moment. stand up.

"Sabaro well ..." Madam Connie looked at the faintly visible oasis in the distance and couldn't help but secretly excited. She knew that this long and difficult journey finally saw hope.

The tall guide hurried over again, but this time he was far away from Mrs. Connie. After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Looking at his escape-like appearance, Mrs. Connie ’s mouth could not help but show a trace of ridicule.

She knew that the guide should be scared. After all, the woman who cursed the whole family here has people who are regarded as ominous, especially since a woman named Jala Dur appeared hundreds of years ago. In this place, the widowed or the dead woman is regarded as an omen.

Connie does n’t think it ’s bad to be regarded as an ominous incarnation, so it can at least reduce her a lot of trouble, and she feels that it will also allow her to command her team more effectively, because even among themselves, Others think that a woman is not enough for such a major task.

It's just that Connie has a lot of confidence in herself. Whether in Constantinople or Italy, she comes and goes smoothly. She believes that the vast majority of men and women in this world do not have Her insights may be only the Earl of Montina, he looks like a really well-informed person, because after sending a lot of people to the East to continue the temptations according to Alexander, Connie Ov talent was surprised to find that although Alexander had not been to the East, he pointed out a very powerful and powerful enemy behind the Ottomans.

The Persian ambitions and the excessively young but aggressive Ismael surprised Mrs. Connie, who was so familiar with Alexander that she was so familiar with the situation in a pagan country far away. At the same time, according to Alexander ’s instructions, she actively contacted these Safi sects who, although they believed in paganism, were obviously enemies of the Ottomans. Then she was surprised to find that the pagan sect had not only powerful powers At the same time, their leader, a teenager as young as 13 years old, already had a lot of war experience that she did not know about the European nobles.

At least when she heard that this boy, who can only be said to be a little ass, actually taught the agent of the Ottoman Sultan in the East hard, she suddenly realized that perhaps this long-distance trip will really have a windfall .

So while contacting the residual forces of Bayemset II's brother, Jim, Mrs. Conneau began to make frequent contacts with the Persians. In addition, according to Alexander's instructions, she tried to be extremely confident in these seemingly own forces The arrogant Safi Order sells firearms that can help them improve their combat effectiveness.

This process is not easy. These Persians seem to be too stubborn. They firmly believe that their heavy cavalry in iron armor and thick leather armor are invincible. Some of them even publicly mocked those who hid in the queue with firearms. The soldiers who dared to stand out were cowards and cowards. They used several successive battles to prove that their invincibility of swords and guns was genuine and not lazy, which made Mrs. Conneo's progress in the Persians slow and nothing.

This inexplicable situation even made Connie a bit disappointed. It wasn't until an unexpected thing happened that the situation changed.

The expedition that Bayesert II had to terminate due to accidental injuries not only affected the pace of the Ottomans' advance in Europe, but the key was that the Sudan's injury caused his power to control the empire to be quickly weakened.

Seeing the opportunity, the two sons of Sudan realized that their brothers might start their own hands in advance, so after losing the strong suppression of Sudan, they began to openly form gangs within the empire, even in some places. The armed forces even clashed directly.

It was at this time that in order to expand its strength, Ahmed, the eldest son of Bayesert II, sent troops to attack the Karamans who allied with his brother Selim in the eastern empire.

This war, which was destined to happen a few years later, occurred early because of the injury of Bayesert II. Although the Karaman were still destined to fail, the Persians further east of them were because of the Ottoman Empire in this war. The tremendous power displayed by the army's sharp firearms, and the Karamans who admire the invincible swords and guns like them, were completely shocked by the misfortune in front of these weapons.

Ismaili, the head of the Safi Order, who was always regarded as a little child by Alexander, summoned Conneo, who had no interest in him, and after seeing the powerful power of the firearms she brought, Ismail I finally decided to consider discussing business with those from Europe.

This is how Connie started the work of the Persians, the remnants of Jem, and the needle between Alexandria. After countless trials, debates, bargaining and even the dangerous escape due to rejection, Connie It was finally the first transaction for both parties.

And the participants in this transaction are not just Persians and Alexandria as far away as Italy.

"The count wanted me to sell his life for him, but it was not necessarily that he was working for me," Mrs. Conneau thought a bit proudly. She knew that Alexander seemed to have some kind of relationship with some Ottoman powers, Otherwise, as long as they think about the risks of shipping goods through the Mediterranean, they know that no one will be willing to pay such a large amount of money in the first business.

There are about a thousand firearm hook guns for the whole ship, and there are more than a dozen artillery pieces that are obviously just cast. These weapons, which are enough to prepare a very strong army, are shipped from Naples after being sealed and shipped. After a short break in Sicily and final arrangements, the seaboats loaded with these weapons and equipment sailed all the way to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Their destination is Matru, on the coast of Egypt, a small port less than 120 miles from the famous port of Alexandria.

The reason why I did not choose the more convenient place of Alexandria is because the cargo of this ship is too special, and for the purpose of caution, as an Ashurk involved in this maritime transport, I do not want to let this ship's weapons fall The hands of the Mamluks.

It has been 250 years since a concubine named Jara Dur conquered the descendants of the descendants of the Ayub dynasty of Aladdin, and then married the forbidden army commander of slaves to establish the Mamluk dynasty. year.

Today, the Mamluk dynasty is facing a huge threat from the Ottomans. After a series of battles with the Ottoman army, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt has lost many important areas. Although Ashurk does not care about the Sudanese family. Whoever is killed or killed is alive, but he is worried that if the weapons are left in the hands of the Mamluks, once the Ottomans know it, he may find trouble in his involvement.

So according to his intentions, the place where this business was settled was arranged in the relatively secluded Port of Matru, although it seemed inaccessible because of inconvenient traffic on the edge of the desert, but because of this, as long as the goods left the port and landed, Will not be easily found.

Connie is also the first time to hit Matrou, even if she is the daughter of a traveler, she can cross most of the Anatolian plateau from Persia, then pass through Jerusalem and Beirut, and then pass through a large area The terrible desert came here, which still gave Connie the illusion that he seemed to have moved from one edge of the world to the other.

Sabaro well is the name of an oasis. It is famous for 6 groundwater wells that will not dry up all the year round. It is also because of the abundant groundwater that it forms the most precious oasis in the desert.

There is a small earth city in the Oasis of Sabaro, and a local judge and his guard are stationed in the earth city. According to the laws of the Mamluks, this judge has all the powers to arrest, try, and execute. It can be said that this person is the lord of the Sabaro Oasis.

Connie gave the guide a very generous reward. She had decided not to let the person lead her when she went back. She did not remember how to go, but worried that the guide might reveal their whereabouts.

Along the way, she has noticed that the guide is very concerned about their origin, and has been deliberately and unintentionally. This has made Conneo already careful. She guessed that this person is unlikely to be just curious, so he is either inquiring about the news. Ready to sell them to the Egyptians, or it may be for the robbers like the forty thieves to find their way.

Although several people have been contacted and know that the ship from Naples has indeed been delivered as scheduled, Connie is still not at ease. She knows that the cargo on this ship is not just a batch of weapons or used by the Persians to trade. Gem ivory and Persian rugs are as simple as this will be one of the two key roads to bury nails behind the Ottomans.

Another way is to go directly through the Balkan Peninsula, from Moldova on the Black Sea coast, along the Black Sea, all the way south to Persia.

It ’s just that the road already has other candidates according to Alexander ’s statement, and for Connie, although this road through Egypt obviously has a big detour and is not very safe, she has her own The reason ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ is more willing to choose this path and trade with people from Europe.

The guide was right, the road from Sabaro well to Matru was much better. Connie still did not show up, and the woman in Egypt was really not suitable to show her head, so she was still hiding in the team and led by a man The team, after a day of rest, followed some merchants who were also rushing to Matru to leave for Matru Port.

Because it is July, the hottest season of the year, even though the road is a lot better, but when they finally feel the sea breeze blowing, the people who travel still cheer again, many people even left Things and goods around them climbed towards the heights, and then they stood on the high slopes of the Mediterranean Sea where they could see the blue waves in the distance and cried out with joy.

Connie also saw the sea, and at the same time she saw a lush green Matru Port spread in the distance.

But what she did not expect was that when she took the team to the port and found the Clarke sailing ship called "Old" according to the secret letter carried by the messengers in advance, she was scared by a person who got off the ship A jump.

"Count? How could it be you?" Connie was surprised to see Alexander wearing a pagan loose sailor suit.

"Don't be surprised, ma'am, I just took a boat," looking at the exotic port, Alexander smiled and responded, "I'm going to see relatives."
