Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Ai Mine Town.

The imperial capital of the past, the leader of the mining industry, is now a thousand miles of ruins and a place where bones are buried deep... Even if it has collapsed and abandoned now, it does not change the fact that it was once one of the largest city-states in the Southern United City, and its status is even higher than that of Kaiton City.

With the death of Emperor Anxi and the escape of local nobles, Ai Mine Town has become ownerless, and is nominally entrusted to General Tian Xinli Zheng - it is not even subordinate to Kaiton City, but belongs to the guardian god who guards the southern border of the empire.

Of course, in fact, no matter how Tian Xinli Zheng is going to deal with Ai Mine Town, the benefits obtained will definitely belong to Kaiton City.

It was because of the opponent's power that the Depression Lagoon had to take over this stall, and at the same time, it did not want to bear it alone with the power of the branch, so it sent people to the Black Scratch headquarters to seek support.

The attitude is quite contradictory.

Everyone knows what happened later.

But...

"You, you...you want to take over Ai Mine Town?" In astonishment, some technology hunters even forgot the honorific for a moment and blurted out.

No wonder they were surprised.

Not to mention why the other party made such a sudden decision... Even when the Depression Lagoon Town was promoting the acquisition of the Sorrow Mine Town, it needed to ask for help from the headquarters of the Technology Hunters. For the rising and promising Shandi, after all, it has just started to improve...

To be frank.

Do you have the strength?

What's more, even if the leading South United City is obsessed with money, it is impossible to hand over the Sorrow Mine Town to you, the Lord of Blood, right?

However, in addition to being shocked.

The Sorrow Mine Hunters who heard this, even though they knew there were many unreasonable points, did not have the thought of refutation in their hearts.

It was as if they were worried that they had heard it wrong.

It was as if they could not bear to destroy this sudden ray of hope in person.

——Someone is willing to take over their hometown.

"I have said that this matter itself is not my commission to the Technology Hunters, so you don't need to worry about the details." Lu Meng smiled. "All you have to do is pass on the message."

Or to put it more bluntly.

It is a notice.

Although it is highly likely that Black Scratches will give up supporting the subsequent reconstruction plan of the Sorrowful Mine Town and instead invest resources and energy in the future relay station in the Flash Land, as an outsider, it is not advisable for you to intervene rashly, which may affect your dignity.

His eyes stayed on the silver card.

Serial number 10.

This silver card was left by the Hive Prince. Although it was not his own thing, it once belonged to a certain technology hunter and a watcher who had the hope of entering the inner circle.

It was also Gray's former comrade-in-arms and colleague.

Finally, he was buried in the Bloody Rebellion.

And they all came from the now abandoned city-state of the Sorrowful Mine Town.

In the background setting, the major forces not only have faction favorability with the Nameless, but they also have such a relationship with each other.

Among them, there are not many forces that can be favored by the anti-slavers... but their attitude towards technology hunters is "respect".

There is such a relationship.

However, it is one-sided.

When the Bloody Rebellion was about to collapse, the Watcher tried to use his connections to ask the local Tech Hunters to transfer some of the rebels, at least to allow them to escape the pursuit... but was rejected in the end.

The reason is also very simple.

They are neutral.

This is your own war.

All discerning people can see that the Tech Hunters in the South saw that the Empire had already won and were unwilling to be suspected of shielding. It is clear that they have been involved in power struggles due to mission commissions in the past.

But this time it was too intense.

It makes people cherish their feathers.

Facts have proved that from the perspective of the Southern Tech Hunters, their approach was completely correct: even after a series of violent changes such as the Bloody Rebellion and the decline of the Sorrow Mine, the activities of Tech Hunters in the South have flourished and have not fallen.

Finally, a vast network based on the depression lagoon was formed. Except for the precipitation of time and the lack of personnel quality due to the rapid development, it has a momentum that can be compared with the headquarters.

However, the tech hunter whose commission was rejected also rejected the transfer and asylum procedure provided by the organization for him, and chose to live and die with the Bloody Rebels, and was buried together in the Mine of Sorrow.

In the end, his silver card was obtained by Hui, who was just an ordinary bee prince at that time. Whether due to negligence or guilt, the tech hunters never thought of recovering this lost silver card, and the card did not show any signs of expiration or demagnetization. This situation is actually very common. In history, more than a dozen silver cards were issued, but even if they became watchers, they did not necessarily keep in touch with the headquarters at all times. The inner circle members could only have five or six people at a time, but the seats of these lost contacts would not be cancelled.

For example, since the sword saint Alc left, the tech hunters have not heard of him for a long time.

There are also some who are even older, hundreds or thousands of years... They may have decayed and turned into dust, but as long as they have not been confirmed, they are still regarded as watchers.

In theory, this silver card can still be used as long as the technology hunters turn a blind eye. However, after Mr. Gray got it, he never took the initiative to contact the other party. Instead, he relied on his own efforts to develop the current anti-slavers, as if it was just an ordinary relic of an old friend.

Time has passed, and the Tech Hunters have gone through several major changes. A generation is almost over, and most people have forgotten this past... However, as a witness of the incident, Hui will not forget it, and he knows that there are old guys in the inner circle who have not forgotten it either.

Today, the anti-slavers who have inherited part of the bloody legacy have become an organization that is no less powerful than the Tech Hunters in status, but Mr. Hui has left this silver card.

Left it to Lu Meng.

In addition to Qianli Yu assassinating Deng Li in the camp to silence him and even shocking Tian Xinli to go out, this silver card of the watch is also one of the remaining gifts.

At the same time, it is also a commission.

Shandi fought for the opportunity to get the investment of the Tech Hunters to set up a station... However, the Ai Mining Town forgotten by the times also needs to be saved!

This is what the Tech Hunter, the former Watcher, has been doing all his life, and he can even give up his life for it.

An unfinished commission.

And for Lu Meng...

In the future, the Depression Lagoon will be qualified to manage Ai Mining Town... So why can't he do it?

That's a city-state!

To some extent, the current Ai Mining Town is very similar to the hub station where he was "born".

The difference is that the hub station used to be prosperous because of its geographical location and trade transit. Once it was destroyed by war, it would be almost impossible for it to rise again if Lu Meng hadn't guided the Langnin Group to discover the hidden large copper mine.

Ai Mining Town is different.

It is an industrial town in itself.

It is not even like the depression lagoon that has run out of oil and the natural industry has declined, but because of war, politics, wild monsters... and other complex factors, it suddenly collapsed and was abandoned everywhere.

This also means.

In today's Ai Mining Town, there are still a large number of abandoned machines that can be re-used, a full set of industrial production equipment, and a group of industrial workers who have received systematic education and are skilled but forced to become scavengers... The Ai Mining Hunters who now occupy half of the southern technology hunters are only two or three tenths of the latter.

No matter from which angle, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to call it a treasure house.

And Tian Xinli, who is in charge of the Ai Mine, actually wants to get rid of it...

Of course, the huge cost of rebuilding the city-state and maintaining order is one of the reasons. If the key to open the treasure chest itself consumes more than all the treasures, it will be meaningless.

But in addition to this, there must be something fishy.

It is not as simple as Kaidun City wanting to blackmail the technology hunters and get rid of this burden.

But no matter how many inside stories are behind it.

The current situation is the best time to intervene-the actions of Coronus and the Drifting End not only allowed Lu Meng to successfully hide the fact that the intelligent core was stolen and put the blame on Yamudu, advancing the establishment of the station in the Flash Land, but also happened to interrupt the plan of Kaidun City. No matter what tricks the other party has, they can't be used for a while.

The situation of different regions, different factions, and major city-states in the United Empire with different interests helped him again.

Now, the construction of the inner Shan land is on the right track, the spread of the faith and technology of the cult is accelerating, the refugees are constantly settling down, and the tribal herdsmen are full of joy and worship them as gods.

Na Dengli thought he had found a gap loophole, but that was because he had never understood the previous grand and exciting experience of both sides, and did not know that this was a deliberately exposed entrance to the fish basket. Now he spread this wrong information back together, and once someone wants to use it, it will only fall into the pocket.

Externally, Lu Meng deterred the sand bandits in the north, making the bandits in the border areas frightened and scattered when they saw the flag, and they did not dare to harass their trade route with the Shak Kingdom; the mysterious revenge land on the east side was protected by the sky fire and could not be attacked for the time being, but Lu Meng also deliberately misled with false memories, making the peepers in it hesitant and unable to move lightly, so as to avoid starting a war.

Even the most hostile allied nobles in the south were resolved... Shandi was obviously in a place surrounded by wars, and anyone who wanted to occupy this place and dominate would be coveted. It was flat and undefended, but with the arrival of Lu Meng, a situation was torn apart and the fleeting opportunity was seized.

If those overlords who had failed here in history were to comment, I'm afraid they could only say that it was incredible.

Now Lu Meng's strength has been further improved and stabilized, and he has the confidence to fight and the guarantee of personal safety. He also prepared a substitute in Shandi, and spent a lot of time and energy to let the other party train and adapt - he was originally worried that it was just a form, and at most it could only be a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Insufficient deterrence.

But with the addition of Ronin Diu, before the scale of the fortress based on the Holy Base was formed, Shandi had a strong man of the same level to protect it.

It should be said.

All conditions are in place.

It's time to go south and attack the town of Ai Mine.

He will lead the team personally.

Listening to the young man's simple words and looking at the silver card on the table, a tech hunter couldn't help but reach out and touch the number on the card... This is the sequence of their Ai Mining Town.

Although the specific insider deeds are no longer clear, as a big figure at the level of the Watcher, his fellow countrymen and younger generations have always heard of the existence of such a person and know his ideals.

It is better to say that the reason why everyone present chose to join the tech hunters was more or less inspired by this call, hoping to change the current situation of Ai Mining Town in this way with the help of a larger organization - even if the reality is not as they imagined.

But it was full of discord.

Flies and dogs.

But now, Lu Beiyou not only got this lost and hidden silver card from some unknown channel, but was also willing to take on the dying "commission" that the other party had not been able to complete until now after his death, and even gradually became more and more slim...

A warm current surged through their hearts, which was stronger and more spicy than the fine grassland liquor on the table.

Unlike the admiration and envy when they saw the other party working hard and taking responsibility for Shandi before, this time, the hunters who walked out of the mourning mine truly felt the warmth shining on themselves, not fantasy.

It was for the first fire.

Suddenly, they couldn't even speak, and could only put the silver card in their chest pockets and nodded heavily, indicating that they must complete the commission delivered to them by the other party on behalf of Shandi.

This time it was sincere.

Rather than out of duty.

Liu Si, the only one left on the scene, was a tech hunter from the Depression Lagoon and their leader. Even though he could not empathize with them, he was slightly moved by the scene.

He suddenly remembered that as a lost industrial town, Depression Lagoon should have had the same experience as the Mine Town, but in the end it won by luck and quickly transformed with the help of tech hunters. It did not suffer much, unlike the other party who is still struggling and running around for it.

This should have been lucky.

However, thinking of some of the chaos he had experienced when living in the Depression Lagoon, he buried his head in ancient books and was willing to be an alien because he could not stand it.

I thought the team of the organization was like-minded... maybe they did have such a time... but in the end they ended up like this.

In comparison, there was only one Deng Li in a team of Mine Hunters... which was purer than the Lake Town Hunters who were born in comfort and had not actually felt the threat of the United City but were gradually infiltrated.

Will, even if it exists, is revealed in suffering.

I just don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.

At this moment, Liu Si is actually more concerned about... The nameless man said he wanted to take over the Ai Mine Town. This was just a light sentence, but to really do it, even with the other party's strength, it would be extremely difficult and full of obstacles.

The other party's words were simple, and the tone seemed to be to avoid giving people pressure, and even pretended to be relaxed and a little frivolous.

But the power inside was extremely firm.

He was sure of it.

Liu Si really wanted to ask the other party about his confidence like a casual chat, but he could imagine that this was quite confidential and a trump card.

It can't be shown to others easily.

At the same time, after a shock, the long neck, with a burnt smell all over his body, slowly climbed up to the attic again.

It's time to go.

Three days later, the armed envoys wearing embers and the representatives of the technology hunters with the furnace flag left the flash land under the escort of the military formation along the way.

Go to the black scratch.
