Lord of War

As it gradually penetrated into the deep hinterland of the wild land, the terrain also began to undergo great changes.

Deserts and yellow sand are no longer common sights, replaced by fertile grasslands and sparkling lakes.

The entire barren land is like a paradise abandoned by the world—very few people can successfully enter the real deep hinterland of the barren land through the yellow sand where bones are buried, even in the deep belly of the barren land. Mai En, who dominates the roost, has never really set foot in the depths of this land. Therefore, no one would know that the wild land within the yellow sand where the bones are buried is actually so beautiful.

This piece of land is not so much a wild place as it is a holy land blessed by God.

Here, there are only low or even barren mountains, but they have an astonishing amount of mineral resources, including some rare minerals; and those inland lakes have rich fishery resources that amaze many coastal cities , even in the lakes exclusively owned by some first-class tribes, there are very unique and rare freshwater fish; not to mention the fertile land that can be seen at a glance, if it is not for the Pangea Chamber of Commerce Alliance to strictly limit the rice seeds in the barren land For import and export trade, with these fertile lands, at least a lot of food can be harvested.

If there is only one thing to say about scarce resources, it is that there are very few trees in the wild.

But even so, the deep belly area of ​​the wild land is still a place of amazing treasures, and even people who have lived here for a long time don't know how big the whole wild land is. The only thing people know. It is in this land that there are hundreds of tribes of different sizes, among which the most powerful dozen or so tribes form the barbaric council that decides the direction of all tribes in the entire barren land.

In fact, not so long ago. The wild parliament that existed for thousands of years was dissolved once. At that time, because the pressure from the outside world was too great and the invasions were too frequent, and the implementation of every policy of the Savage Parliament needed to be voted on, and there were even many internal disputes. Not only was the reaction speed too slow, but there was even a lack of a unified voice. In order to completely change this situation, a revolution was carried out in the barren land.

This revolution. In the long run, it should be said that the impact is very far-reaching.

After the wild council was forced to disband through violent and bloody means, all the tribes in the wild jointly elected a king.

The barbarian king possesses enormous power. All the tribes in the entire barren land, regardless of size, are all under the command and dispatch of this king. After the king was elected, the barren land ushered in a period of elation for a long time: under the leadership of this king, the entire barren land showed unprecedented unity, and everyone's support The voices have all been unified at once. The series of counterattacks they launched not only successfully repelled the troops from the surrounding empires, kingdoms and even the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but also took back many once-occupied lands and liberated many compatriots.

It can be said that the power displayed by the wild land at that time made many surrounding countries feel a strong crisis.

If there is no Sean, then the barbaric land may embark on the road from a parliamentary system to a monarchy - from a certain point of view, Sean is the real culprit that caused the barren land to fall into civil strife culprit.

Because in fact, the appearance of this wild king is just a plan of the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance: it is also part of the Snake Project.

Their deal with the barbaric king was to arm and equip the major tribes in the barren land with a large number of weapons and armor provided by the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

At the same time, the Alliance of Pan-Continental Chambers of Commerce and the Millennium Covenant Empire will play a show together, creating an unprecedented prestige for this barbarian king. After this, the savage king must exert his influence. Let the entire barren land be content with the status quo and stay in the barren land from now on, not allowing unauthorized attacks to find trouble for the human country.

It's just that the king is not allowed to make trouble, but it doesn't mean that the human country will not come to make trouble in the barren land.

According to the plan of the barren land, once the first and last snake plan is successfully implemented, all tribes in the entire barren land will be confined in space. And when the time comes, armies from various empires and kingdoms will be able to treat this place as a back garden, trampling or even ravaging the entire barren land at will.

It's just a pity. When this plan was implemented to the most critical point, Sean directly annexed the Great Rift Valley, which led to a loophole in the first-tail snake route. Therefore, under the premise that the negotiations between the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce and Sean were fruitless, they naturally tried to use the influence of the King of the Wild to attack Sean, but as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. During a secret negotiation, the King of the Wild and The fact that the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance colluded was discovered.

Therefore, in a wild land where violent beliefs are advocated, one can imagine what the fate of this barbaric king will be.

But the wild lands are not all fruitless.

At least at the beginning, under the leadership of this king, the wild land learned how to fight against human countries and how to win wars, and the restarted wild parliament also changed many bad habits and disadvantages such as inefficiency and selfishness before. Then, the unlucky ones are those human countries and the Pangea Chamber of Commerce Alliance that once regarded the tribes in the barren land as fools. Naturally, the Pangea Chamber of Commerce Alliance suffered the most heavy losses.

It's just this bitter fruit, they have to swallow it.

The only thing that can be said to be lucky is that the wild land is now split into two factions, one is the radical faction that is anti-social and anti-human, and the other is the stable faction that is more content with the status quo. The former currently occupies a relatively mainstream voice in the barren land, and their point of view is naturally to have a big battle with those human countries, so that they can take a good look at the power of the barren land; while the latter obviously disagrees with this approach, They are more advocating to seek a stable and peaceful way of existence.

The wild alliance that Sean came to seek cooperation this time is naturally the latter, because only the latter can hear Sean's voice. There will also be the possibility of negotiation. The former, since they all said they were anti-human and anti-society, the first time they saw Sean, they probably discussed how to dismantle it. Instead of sitting down and talking about it.

But unfortunately, Sean's position at this time is doomed that the enemy he will encounter will only be the former.

Heishuize, this is a swamp with relatively rich aquatic resources, and it is also the only water source within the jurisdiction of the Heishui tribe.

This water lake covers a very large area, about the size of three black swan lakes. The deepest part of the black water lake is said to be nearly forty meters deep. Because the Blackwater Tribe has a bad reputation. Few tribes are willing to attach themselves to this tribe, so the entire Blackwater Lake is naturally exclusive to the Blackwater tribe.

but. In terms of scale alone, the Blackwater tribe is the largest among the many second-class tribes in the wild land, so even though the entire Blackwater swamp is exclusively owned by the Blackwater tribe, it is only enough for the entire tribe. Therefore, the Heishui tribe attaches great importance to Heishuize. It is hard for outsiders to imagine that as long as almost all non-Heishui tribe people get close to a certain range of Heishuize, the Heishui tribe will attack like a mad dog regardless of anything.

This is also the main reason why Realm of the Void lost a large number of personnel here.

At this time, a young man lying on the edge of the Black Water Lake was taking a rest with a reed in his mouth, squinting his eyes tiredly.

He was wearing a suit with a slightly complicated style, and it should be a white shirt inside—the reason why he said it should be because the exposed part of the shirt was a kind of dirty gray. The reason for the soiling is that the clothes were originally of this color—the placket was a tie made out of a white silk scarf. But something subtle is that there is a shoulder armor on the right shoulder, which is not a matching armor for heavy armor. There are no spikes on it, but instead, it looks like the kind of shoulder pads used by performing knights to protect gunmen in spear spear competitions.

The man did not appear to be carrying any weapon, the only thing that could be called a weapon. It was probably the pair of fingerless back gloves under his head—but they were called back gloves, but naturally they couldn't be compared with the fists used by boxers on Earth. The gloves of Miracle Continent are mostly glove-like things, but there is a layer of steel plate on the back of the glove and the back of the four fingers.

The rear glove is a glove that has both the glove and the steel plate reinforced on this basis, but the usual rear glove does not show the fingers, because another function of the rear glove is to keep warm. Let boxers not be unable to fight due to frostbite fingers even in relatively severe cold places. But looking at the exposed finger parts of this pair of rear gloves, it is obvious that they were cut off by humans.

To be able to sleep so peacefully here in the extremely dangerous Heishuize. I don't know whether to say that this person is a bold person with a high level of art, or an ignorant person who is fearless.

Not far away, footsteps sounded.

The ears of the young man lying on the ground moved slightly, as if he was listening to the footsteps. Not long after, the man turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes as if very sleepy, and then yawned: "It's different from the footsteps of those savages, it seems to be the person Mr. Andre said There are no more people....Um, why are there only four people left?...It seems that the number of people in the mission information does not match up? Could it be that they were solved halfway?"

Talking to himself like this, the young man yawned again and stretched himself at the same time, but he still didn't stand up to face the person who was gradually walking towards him. At this moment, his eyes were still squinting, and he seemed to be really sleepy. If he could, he probably wouldn't want to get up, but he didn't seem to stop talking to himself: "Forget it , anyway, I have already completed the task requested above, it doesn't matter how many people come, as long as I hand over this matter, I can go back to sleep.... I thought it was a big deal, but it was damaged. There are so many people, even Lord Ruby will send me here, now it seems that those novices are too careless, I hope these guys who hand over the task will not be too careless... Well, should I remind them?"

He was still talking to himself, but his face really showed distress.

Before he could make a decision, the sound of footsteps came from far to near behind him.

The young man sighed slightly, then finally stood up, and said at the same time: "I will reluctantly give you a..."

While talking. The young man turned to face the people behind him, but when he saw clearly the identities of the four people behind him, his original arrogance as a senior disappeared in an instant. Shock was even written all over his face, but his consciousness hadn't caught up with his thinking rhythm, so the words that came out of his mouth were still the last word of the sentence he hadn't finished just now: "... wake up."

"Oh?" Xiao En showed surprise on his face, and then asked, "Are you the one in charge of monitoring here? Thank you for your hard work. ... Is there anything here that needs our special attention?"

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao...Master Xiao En!" When the young man saw Xiao En, his style of painting seemed to be not quite right.

"Well, what's the matter?" Sean froze for a moment.

"What else can I do? Your admirers." Harding said with the appearance of someone who has experienced it, "Don't look at me now. I still have a lot of admirers, at least there are still double digits."

"Okay, don't think I really don't know the situation of your demons, what kind of word games are you playing?" Sean curled his lips. Then he interrupted Harding, "What two digits? Isn't there only fourteen people? Do you know there is a saying called 'Death to save face and suffer'?"

"What's that?" Harding was taken aback for a moment.

"The old Chinese saying." Sean said calmly.

"Wow!" The young man quickly took out a small notebook and a pen from his body, and then began to write something in the notebook, "It turns out that there is such a language as the old Chinese saying, I have to write it down quickly and go back After showing off with those guys, they will definitely envy me. Unexpectedly, I could actually meet Mr. Xiao En. Wow, it is such an honor."

Cecilia looked at the young man who was writing with his head down, completely ignoring herself and others. Quite dumbfounded: "This guy seems to have a serious problem with talking to himself."

"But according to Luby and Andre, this guy seems to be a good talent." Sean chuckled, then turned his head to look at the young man, and said, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Ah? Oh!" The young man suddenly realized. Then his face turned slightly red, "I'm really sorry. Lord Xiao En, I actually ignored you at this moment of excitement, please forgive my rudeness."

To admit so confidently that he had ignored Sean, this really made Sean quite dumbfounded. Judging from the attire on the other party's body, he should be from a pretty good background, and he might even be from a knight or jazz family, but his words and deeds are no different from those commoners who don't understand etiquette at all. curious.

In this world, the watershed between the common people and the rich and the rich is very obvious.

Like civilians, they will never know how to wear the formal clothes of nobles. Even if someone helps them put them on, they will still look a bit nondescript, after all, they don't have that kind of temperament. And the rich, the more affluent ones may know the correct way to wear these formal dresses, and they will also reveal a unique temperament that can match them, but they will still be seen through by real nobles in terms of knowledge and conversation.

But the person in front of him, even if he has the problem of talking to himself almost indifferently, but whether it is in speech, manner, clothing, temperament, etc., it can show that this person has received a good education.

"My name is Spector." The young man said with a smile. Judging from his tone, Cecilia and others found that he had a sense of pride in his name.

But what really made Xiao En and others curious was that he only said his name but not his surname, and what he was proud of was his name, not his surname, which really made people have to be concerned. Because under normal circumstances, nobles are only proud of their family names. Although knights and knights cannot be regarded as real nobles, in terms of being proud and proud of the existence of their families, those knights The family is even stronger and more obvious than ordinary minor nobles, because they still retain a sense of honor that belongs to knights.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to reveal his family, Sean naturally didn't want to force anything. After all, most of the members in the Void Realm are orphans, exiles or other strange guys. In William's words, they are either "waste utilization", or "mutual benefit", or "based on A kind heart gives them a place to live and work."

Sean believes that the guy named Spector in front of him should belong to the "mutual benefit" type. The Void Realm provides him with shelter, and as a reward, the other party has to use what he has learned all his life for the Void Realm—Sean can tell from the other party's standing posture that the strength of this person in front of him is stronger than that of Lance and Hina are a bit taller. Although they are not yet in the golden state, they have already touched the edge of the golden state.

But what makes Sean even more rare is that Spector's occupation is a relatively rare lurker.

Lurker, this is the sixth-level occupation in the thief system. It has excellent lurking and camouflage abilities, and is quite good at assassination abilities, but it is not good at frontal assaults. Unlike assassins or killers, once the assassination fails, it will turn into a The frontal battle can still maintain a certain combat power. Lurkers are a class that pays more attention to one-hit kills than assassins, but most of the time—at least in the game, the player's professional concept of lurkers is to use them as spies, because they have strong camouflage and Latent ability, so unless you use a special exploration mechanism or are in the domain of a strong domain, it is difficult to find these guys by conventional means.

If sending a lurker to Heishuize to collect information and conduct spying fails, it is estimated that Sean can only knock on the door of the Blackwater tribe with a large army. It's just that in that case, it will inevitably turn into an enemy of the entire wild land, which is not what Xiao En wants.

"Tell me about your discovery." Sean asked, "There are still things that need our attention."

"Yes." Spector's face became serious when he talked about his own professional field.

"According to what I have observed so far, the thing you want, Mr. Xiao En, should be below 40 meters deep, which is the depth of the lake in Heishuize. But it's not very close... In various senses It’s not easy to get close.” Spector narrated clearly, “First of all, it’s about the lake water. I’ve tried it, and the lake water in Heishuize has a very clear dividing line, and the area above 20 meters is relatively normal. However, as long as it goes deep to 20 meters, both the water pressure and the water temperature will undergo extremely drastic changes. It is conservatively estimated that the water temperature is around minus 30 degrees, and the water pressure is enough to pose a certain threat to the lower gold level powerhouses. "

Hearing Spector's words, Sean also showed a solemn expression on his face.

Like Sean, although he can kill the top gold peak powerhouses when he activates all the skills, even if he faces the general sanctuary powerhouses, he is not invincible before the opponent expands the domain, but these They can only be counted as Xiao En's combat power, his physical strength is still no different from that of the next gold powerhouse.

Sean didn't speak, still listening quietly.

"With my strength, 20 meters is a clear dividing line. I can't go deeper, so I don't know the deeper situation." Spector continued, "Besides, what needs to be paid attention to is The location near the center of the lake... For some unknown reason, the barbarians of the Blackwater Tribe kept about 20 small boats at the center of the lake, and each boat had a standing force of five to seven people. Radiate out from the center of the lake to control the water surface of the entire lake, so if you want to take a breath, you must swim out to a position of about 500 meters to ensure that you will not be discovered."

Cecilia's brows also frowned: "Under the influence of water pressure, the consumption of oxygen will intensify. With the watershed at a depth of 20 meters as the boundary, if you want to swim to 500 meters and then take a breath Not to mention low-level gold, even high-level gold may not be able to do it. What's more, we still don't know anything about the water depth below 20 meters, and...the behavior of the Blackwater tribe is also a little bit wrong. "

Regarding the last point Cecilia said, Sean was noncommittal.

Because according to the nature of the game, it is naturally impossible for players to get such good things as the Holy Demon Skeleton so easily. Perhaps, even the Blackwater Tribe might not understand why so many forces are spreading around the center of the lake.
