Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

It was early morning, and the fog in the forest had not dispersed.

After the report, the Shark Village envoy stopped at a distance and stopped approaching.

The guards of Rotten Town looked from the tower and saw that they were just a small group of people, not an army. They were probably enough to meet the necessary team configuration for crossing the swamp and dense forest, and they were relieved.

This is no different from the previous waves of envoys.

"King of the Swamp..." someone whispered, "Are they worthy of this title?"

Even Big Green was only known as the overlord of Shark Village in the past. To rule the entire swamp and be recognized as the king... she does not have the qualifications.

However, the old members of the Hound Gang respected her like a god.

I feel that it is only a matter of time before Da Gelin becomes king.

As a result, Da Gelin is now dead.

But when she heard that someone had taken the position that she had failed to achieve, she couldn't help but feel resentful.

"Say less." A companion poked him and whispered, "Even the Water Tribe in the southern wetland has surrendered, and there is no one from all over the world who can stand up to oppose it. What is this if not the king of the swamp? "

"It's not like there are still us..." The guard realized that he had made a mistake and quickly swallowed his words. He just said, "The Water Tribe's surrender has their own reasons. Didn't the Swamp Ninja say that Lu Beiyou is the inheritance of the previous generation of Kage? Or, returning to the swamp this time is to take back the throne they should have..."

The secrets between the previous generation of movie stars, Da Gelin and Da Harsh have not been spread out.

At that time, it was just a tacit understanding between Lu Meng and Da Gelin. Even if some people suspected it, they could not be verified in the end. The most popular theory outside is still the old story about the previous generation of shadow people assassinating the King of the Swamp. After all, it has been popular for many years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As for Lu Meng, revealing the truth would do him no good.

"This statement is not true." The companion shook his head, "I have heard several versions, each one more mysterious than the last."

The new king has been established, and the old king must die.

Nowadays, the most circulated and discussed things in the public market are no longer the old stories of our ancestors, but the legends about the new king of the swamp.

If you still don’t know a thing or two about the heroes of the world, no one will want to talk to you even if you are drinking and bragging.

This is especially true for the people in Rotten Town.

Although they were far away from the center of the storm, they were particularly concerned about the man who was said to have defeated Great Green and even drove out the Union City army. This was not just out of curiosity, but because the man might indeed affect their future. destiny.

However... the general public does not have accurate sources of information.

The explanations I heard were naturally varied, and some were even quite mysterious.

"What about the 'Red King'..." After listening to his companion's words, the guard also remembered something, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Probably he was talking about his sword. The rumor turned out to be what it is now."

The Red King is the name of the coalition side.

Judging from this name, it means respect and confirms his identity as the king of the swamp.

Just, behind the scenes.

Some members of the outlying gang who claimed to have witnessed the battle in Shark Village and watched the fight in Iron Dome from a distance secretly called that person the "Lord of Blood."

If anyone asks why.

They said that it was because the man named Lu Beiyou could command the bloody worms.

When he walked through the jungle, the carapace-clad murderous beasts would bow down and worship him.

There are even rumors.

He is actually an insect mother in human skin who eats a pair of boys and girls for every meal...

It's like an insect mother becoming the king of the swamp... This is quite outrageous.

Except for some people who swear at the wine table.

Not many people believe it.

In comparison, the title Red King is easy to understand. After all, it is said that this king of the swamp has recovered the long-lost Inscribed Blade. Its blade is crimson, which can also claim its orthodox status. .

As for the Lord of Blood, I think he just spread rumors based on the text.

When faced with a formidable enemy, it is inevitable to demonize them.

The companion still wanted to speak, but his expression changed: "The boss gave the order."

Then, each of the four battlement towers on the Rotting Town side shot out a giant arrow, heading straight towards the Shark Village envoy, with astonishing power.

However, the people in the mist did not move.

Soon, there were several loud noises, and arrows were inserted into their four corners, forming a square.

The next moment, the sparks on the arrows that had not yet been extinguished burned along the pine trees that had been wiped in advance. With a bang, the four giant arrows turned into torches. The flames shot up into the sky fiercely, dispersing the fog, revealing the members of the envoy. Come.

And they even maintained their original positions.

"As expected of someone from Shark Village..."

Achi, who was spying on the envoy's performance, secretly admired him.

As a victor with this confidence, even if there are only a few envoys, they will not be frightened by the defenders of a town and remain calm.

"Huh?" As the fog completely dissipated, people's eyes were first attracted to a giant beast in the team: "... such a big bull."

The horns on its head soared into the sky like spears, fangs grinned from the corners of its mouth, and its entire face was covered with thick bone plates... More importantly, the size of this cow was larger than that of the farm cows purchased by Rotten Town. It's more than twice the size and quite eye-catching.

Probably their beast of burden...it's a natural thought.

However, if they could get closer, they would find that there was a trace of blood red deep in the eyes of this bison.

its side.

A young man wearing a bamboo hat, holding a bridle made of iron chains, silently looked up at Rotting Town and this majestic pass in the swamp, which was famous for its city defense.

Among the envoys, the first person walked out.

He took off his hood, and it turned out to be a hive prince.

"Yin Ying, the affairs officer of Mud Town, represents the king of the swamp and is on an envoy to your land."

Silver Shadow's voice was clear and clear, even if it was just under the city, it still spread far away, causing a commotion among the guards on the city.

"Silver Shadow?"

"Together with Shooting Eye, we took over the people of Mud Town..."

After the First World War in Shark Village, it was not just the King of the Swamp who became famous. There were many originally unknown people or ordinary people who became prominent and emerged one after another with the rise of the coalition forces.

For example, Marksman Verdant.

It is said that he once served as a black converter, but he was quite unsuccessful. Even an ordinary bee team leader dared to bully and exclude him, and the people around him were not even aware of his talent.

Until he met the future king of the swamp who was still in his infancy at that time.

Only then was he able to soar into the sky.

The decisive battle in Shark Village was not the highlight of his exposure to the world. After all, he was in the sniper position and no one could see Green's shot.

Until the King of the Swamp sends him to reclaim Mudtown.

This town was not like the report. It quickly lost its will to resist. During the stalemate, the marksman shot three arrows in his hand and shot the gang boss hiding behind the soldiers at the top of the city one after another. There were no arrows. False hair.

The entire Ni Town guards were so shocked that no one dared to come out to take charge of the overall situation, so they opened the door and surrendered.

From now on.

The name "Shooting Eye" resounded throughout the swamp.

People also admired the foresight of the king of the swamps - from this perspective, even humble people like Cang Cui can be discovered, and those talents who rely on their abilities no longer worry that they will be buried if they join the coalition forces. .

Of course, as for the king of the swamp himself, he often competes with Shooting Eye in archery in private, learning and progressing to win or lose... not many people know.

Silver Shadow is the one who settled in Mud Town together with Cang Cui.

In the process of attacking Ni Town to persuade him to surrender, he did not play much role, but after occupying Ni Town, Cang Cui was just a shooter after all. He had never been in a high position before, had no experience in managing a town, and did not know how to rule under the black converter. , The twists and turns of the mud town money industry.

If only he was a high-level person.

I'm afraid that Mud Town can be captured, but it won't be long before the wealth inside will be transferred away by interested people, leaving them with nothing but an empty shell.

Fortunately, Silver Shadow is still there.

He was originally a senior cadre of the Black Converters and a bee prince. He was quite talented in organization and management. The operations and culverts of the people in Mud Town were completely hidden from his eyes.

From this, order can be quickly controlled.

Choosing these two people to lead the troops to conquer Mud Town can be said to be an excellent operation, and it also highlights the new king's understanding of the situation in the swamp. For this reason, many people do not believe that he is an outsider. It is impossible to grasp the details so accurately when understanding the swamp from the outside.

Since then, Silver Shadow has been in charge of the affairs of Ni Town.

However, compared to the period when the gangs were divided, he was more like being appointed rather than having his own power and being known as the big boss.

"No wonder...this round of envoys came so quickly..." Achi thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

In fact, not long ago, they received a group of messengers from Shark Village.

According to the normal procedure, after they return to reply, the senior officials will discuss countermeasures, and then send new envoys... If there is a slight delay during this period, the journey will be measured in months.

This time, the new envoy was swift.

This made Ah Chi feel a little uneasy.

However, this round was led by Silver Shadow, so it was easy to understand - Mud Town was sandwiched between Rotten Town and Shark Village, and the road was closer, making travel more convenient.

I am afraid that the coalition forces have assigned the matter of dealing with Rotten Town to Ni Town.

Is this good or bad?

The strength and oppression of Mud Town are naturally not as good as those of the entire coalition, but they will deal with the problem more quickly... The time left for them to make up their minds is becoming less and less.

"It turns out that Lord Silver Shadow is here!" Although Rotten Town was high up and ordinary crossbows could not reach the tower, Achi still noticed that there were no bee shooters in the envoy, so he stuck his head out and shouted loudly, " I wonder what the purpose is this time?”

The guards on the city were also quite nervous.

Being able to let an officer in charge of the town lead the team in person... This time the envoy's standards are far higher than in the past. I'm afraid it won't be able to pass by just prevaricating.

To them.

Although the King of the Swamp is powerful, he is far away. He is more like a legend, and he doesn't think it has anything to do with him.

On the other hand, the other senior officials are solid and understandable strong men.

Just like a silver shadow.

In the eyes of ordinary gang members and soldiers, he is already a big shot that may not be touched in this life.

"I'm just following the order of the Red King to express my condolences to the brothers in Rotten Town." Silver Shadow did not mention their estranged relationship with each other, but spoke cordially, "This time, I also brought a batch of supplies that everyone urgently needs. …”

Under the eyes of the city's guards, he pointed at the tall bull behind him.

It had a high bulge on its back and was tied with large bags and small boxes. Judging from the situation, it almost contained the amount that two adult camels could carry, which was quite exaggerated.

"The quantity is not much, just express my feelings."

"But, can City Lord Chi let us enter the city first?"

Just as A Chi was about to speak, the man in black who had been abandoned before suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost, so that the surrounding guards did not notice it.

As soon as he appeared, he shouted: "What is there?"

Achi was angry.

But the man in black simply ignored him.

Silver Shadow at the foot of the city was stunned for a moment when he heard other people's voices: "There are medicines..."

"And fuel."

In this world, medicine is always a high-value hard currency. Sometimes it is more valuable than a coin of the same weight. There is a price but no market.

The medical resources in the swamp are in the hands of the Double Blades.

In the past, when the Hound Gang was dominant, of course they could share from it, but now that the Double Blades have been destroyed and replaced by the newly established Swamp Medical Department, Rotten Town is a bit stretched.

As for fuel.

In the past, they were purchased from the Dancing Bone Man and then transported by smugglers.

With the death of Da Gelin, people left and the tea was cool.

There is still a gap between Rotten Town and the coalition forces, and the spontaneous trade routes connecting them have also been cut off.

It can be said that Silver Shadow brings few things.

But they can all solve the urgent needs of Rotten Town.

A Chi's heart moved.

"City Lord Chi," the man in black whispered at this time, "we can also provide these things..."

"Provided?" Achi glanced at him, "Did you steal it?"

The man in black smiled and remained silent.

As far as fuel is concerned, between the oil-producing black desert and the swamps, there are also roaming areas and border areas - and these two areas happen to be areas where bandits are rampant... They are indeed in the business of plundering .

Some of the looted items might have been originally planned to be sent to the Dancing Skeleton Man.

Later, the caravan no longer resisted and directly allocated part of it as filial travel expenses. The buyer also admitted that this was a natural loss.

During this period, it can be said that a huge industry has been formed.

However, the men in black also have doubts... They haven't intercepted the oil caravan going to the swamp for a while. Where did the fuel come from... Could it be the previous reserves?

A Chi just wanted to give an order to let Yin Ying and other envoys enter the city.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart. He thought of something and said, "Sir Yinying has a noble status. It stands to reason that he should be invited to the city to entertain you... But because of this, the rotten town and small land may not be able to accommodate you all."

"How about I send someone to hold a banquet just outside the city, and I promise you won't be treated badly."

"After that, can you please come back?"

The man in black stood in the shadows, feeling that he was referring to something, and sneered.

Silver Shadow frowned.

This is strange to say...and from what I hear, they don't even want supplies?

He was about to respond, but suddenly stopped.

Then he took a step back without leaving a trace, and then nodded imperceptibly.

After a moment, the bee man said loudly:

"City Master Chi is so unfamiliar now... Besides, how can you let your brothers entertain you if you don't have a gift?"

He gave up a spot.

The young man wearing an iron hat, covering his sight, slowly walked out in front of everyone while holding the tall bull.

"Why don't we let our envoys enter the city with supplies first..."

"It's also a good way to show sincerity."
