Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The other two people present became nervous.

At this moment, they felt the majesty of being the leader of a swamp faction from Big Gray.

No matter how kind he looks, he is still a big boss.

He dominated the swamp during the Stoker period, and even though he failed to compete with Big Green for Shark Village, he was still able to firmly hold on to the Skinned Town, which was still standing despite decades of insect tides; his entire gang of Skinned Men, It has also put a lot of pressure on the Hound Gang.

And once a conflict breaks out, his side will be the enemy of all the skinners in the city.

On the other hand, the other party’s question makes no sense…

Because, my Lu Meng... is indeed a person with a criminal record.

At this moment, Cang Cui and others almost thought that their identities were exposed.

However, faced with Big Gray's sudden burst of momentum, Lu Meng did not waver.

He just met the old man's eyes and said: "What I want..."

"It's the peace of the swamp."

"Can the Skinner give me this?"

With a calm expression, he gave an unexpected answer.

Big Gray was stunned.

"You..." Rao Shi, the leader, had many speculations in his mind, but he never thought about how to respond to this situation.

After a long while, he breathed out: "You are right."

"We skinners can't give it."

"Not only that, the Hound Gang can't give it, even when Big Harsh is here, he can't give it..."

After admitting it, the old man's expression became a little sad.

The big leader's aura faded away from him again, leaving only a thin and even somewhat rickety body.

Lu Meng noticed this change.

But Big Gray quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you want a stable life, come to the swamp to find it, even if you come to the wrong place."

"Endless chaos is the norm in the swamp, no matter who it is."

"Actually, not necessarily no one can do it."

"But none of us thought about it...because we don't need this thing."

As he spoke, Big Gray looked away from everyone, took out a stack of dry tobacco leaves from his pocket, and rolled them up.

"Is there really no chance?" Lu Meng pretended to be dissatisfied, "I heard that as long as the alliance in Shark Village is held, all the forces in the swamp will gather together and work together. Any chance?"

He finally caught the opportunity to cut in.

"An alliance?" The old man lit his cigarette, but his tone was a bit nonchalant, "That has nothing to do with working together, it's more like intrigue... It's better to count on the Blood Spider than to count on the King of the Swamp."

As he spoke, he chuckled twice.

"However, putting aside those empty words..." Big Gray looked at a few more people, "The alliance is indeed an opportunity for young people like you."

Cang Cui said: "Old man, what do you say?"

"To choose the leader of the alliance, we need to see who has the greatest momentum - it is generally recognized that it is us old guys, and the other children are not ranked," the big leader of the Skinner spit out a green mouthful. Yan, "On weekdays, we all know our internal strengths and weaknesses, but when it comes to such a major matter as an alliance, there are always some people who don't want to give in easily."

"Then what can we do in the end? No one is convinced by the other, and we can't make a real move, otherwise the alliance will really become a grass-roots team..."

"Then what?"

Seto on the side listened carefully and urged him at the right time.

This was new to her, but she understood it.

If a certain force has the strength to push the swamp head-on, there will be no need for the superficial form of an alliance.

For example, before Krall appeared, the Shaq tribes also relied on tribal meetings to communicate and unite.

"The rules of the swamp are that the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp... In the end, the person with the biggest fist will be the one with the biggest fist." Big Gray was very satisfied with the young audience, "If you can't fight head-on, then let's compare who has the best soldiers and generals. There are too many elite soldiers to compete with each other, so we can only compete with strong generals."

"Every time at this time, everyone realizes how much information other forces have hidden and how many terrifying newcomers they have raised. Before the real showdown, no one has the confidence to say that the usual impression ranking is correct."

"Like the alliance that Great Harsh established the Stoke tribe...actually, he never took action." As a witness, Big Gray's eyes were clouded for a moment, and he fell into memories:

"It was the woman under his command...that crazy hound that killed all the big bosses in the swamp at that time."

“The Great Harsh faction was not the strongest originally, but after such a round, even if the other factions still have strength, they no longer have the confidence to call themselves the ‘King of the Swamp’.

Seeing that Big Harsh's power was so strong, after the alliance, all the small gangs immediately turned to him... Even if he was not the strongest before, after the alliance, he became the overlord. "

"And many of those that attached early have now become a climate, such as the black eyebrow bug... cough, big black eyebrow."

"That woman..." Cang Cui asked cautiously, "Is she Da Gelin?"

"Yes." The old man flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said in a calm tone, "At that time, many people didn't know her name."

Cang Cui nodded... However, what he really wanted to ask was...

Has Big Gray ever been beaten by her...

But no matter how low your emotional intelligence is, such questions are really not suitable to be asked face to face.

"What about you, grandpa?" Seto asked curiously, "Who was more powerful at that time, or that big Green?"

To her, it was like a duel between warriors.

It is normal to ask about winning or losing.

green:……

"She and I were allies at the time!"

Fortunately, Big Gray just laughed a few times: "Big Hash is willing to support us in Peeling Town, old man, of course I will listen to him."

"In short, the alliance is not an opportunity for the swamp, but an opportunity for the people of the swamp." This time, he looked at Lu Meng, "Every time there is an alliance, new people emerge. Last time it was Da Ge. Lin, it was Big Al last time...this time, maybe it’s young people like you.”

When it came to the last sentence, Big Gray was quite appreciative in his words, and he obviously thought so from the bottom of his heart.

It’s not that I’m painting a pie.

Judging from his experience, it is no problem to shine in the alliance only based on the strength of this young man, not to mention being the most outstanding.

If you don't recognize the other party.

As a big leader, he would not entertain them personally.

"When the time comes, if you really want anything, just go get it yourself... I can't help you, old man, so I won't delay the prospects of you young people."

With that said, Big Gray was about to get up.

"Big boss," Lu Meng narrowed his eyes and heard something wrong in the other party's words, "The alliance... aren't you going to participate?"

Even after so many introductions, Big Gray's tone still seemed to be indifferent.

It was as if the alliance had nothing to do with him at all. He was just chatting with a few juniors and passing on some of his experiences.

However, the Skinner Gang is precisely one of the focuses of this alliance.

As a long-term opponent of the Hound Gang, whether they can be defeated is directly related to the leadership of the alliance.

Nowadays, Da Gelin is extremely powerful.

If it weren't for the Skinner to disrupt the situation, even if other forces were careful, they probably wouldn't dare to take action.

"I'm old and can't compete with young people like you." Big Gray said casually, not caring, "I won't go myself."

"But you don't have to worry. Since I took the initiative to talk about this matter, it's not without purpose - we skinners will still participate in the alliance. When the time comes, we can bring you with us, and it will be considered as reward..."

As if he was afraid that Lu Meng and others would misunderstand him, he added:

"This is not to recruit you to join the gang. When the time comes, you will make an alliance with whichever company you want to join, or you can just observe and make connections... Instead, it is skinning people. You may not have this opportunity."

Big Gray thought that Lu Meng and others were trying to find a way to get ahead. This is very normal in this world, like those smugglers, drifters, adventurers... travel everywhere, isn't this the reason?

The qualification to join the alliance is indeed valuable.

If it weren't for the guarantee of several major forces, there would be no way for others to get in, and they would have to sharpen their heads.

In fact, Lu Meng and others did come here for the tickets to the alliance - although the real purpose was different from what Big Gray had imagined.

Both Aoi and Seto breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had accomplished their goal.

In their hearts, they also admired Lu Meng's boldness just now, which could be said to match the temperament of this big boss.

However, Lu Meng felt something was wrong——

He said... In Skinner, you may not have this opportunity...

"Big boss, dare I ask us Skinners about our attitude towards the alliance..." This involved the core policy of the faction, but Lu Meng still asked rashly.

However, he then added: "If the Skinner has any rivals, we will definitely not team up with them, so we want to know in advance."

"Well," the old man scratched his head, "None of us are good people, it doesn't matter which one we choose, but..."

"If you have the chance, you'd better join the Hound Gang. It has the best future."

His tone was calm, as if stating the facts.

This time, Cang Cui and Seto also noticed something was wrong.

"The Hound Gang..."

"What, you think we and the Hound Gang are old enemies?"

Looking at their expressions, Big Gray smiled and said: "That's right...even the Hounds themselves think so."

"I have told Ilse several times: the Skinners will not oppose them or oppose them, but he just doesn't believe... The Skinners have developed to the point where they are now. If they don't join the alliance, they will not feel at ease. , I had to send someone there."

"However, you can also see the current situation in Peeling Town: I don't know when there will be another wave of insects. If we all go to Shark Village, who will care about them?"

"As for those swamp ninjas in the south... leave them to that crazy hound."

After saying that, the old man suddenly felt his mood waned and his brows and eyes looked a little tired. He waved his hand to see the guest off.

A few people could only thank them, but their hearts felt uneasy.

The Skinner...will not be an enemy of the Hound Gang!

This is different from what everyone in the swamp expected in the past.

Everyone thinks that in this alliance, the Skinner will be a strong competitor to the Hound Gang.

As a result, this biggest enemy has already surrendered in advance.

Once this news spreads, Da Gelin's reputation will inevitably rise to an all-time high, catching those who have little calculations off guard.

Seto looked at Lu Meng worriedly.

——This includes them.

The previous plan with the Shadow Man was to take advantage of the rift between the factions in the swamp and defeat them one by one.

Now the biggest piece has been bridged.

The effect of this is not just 1+1=2.

The Hound Gang's unification of the forces in the swamp will probably be extremely smooth and form a monolithic entity.

If Shadow Man knew about it, given her temperament, she might back down and try to negotiate peace with Da Gelin again.

Lu Meng will become a lone warrior again.

However, the little princess did not see any extra expression on her young teacher's face. The white-haired young man looked unusually calm.

It is impossible for the unknown person not to know the key point...

However, now was not the time to talk about these issues, so Seto had to suppress his temper.

Lu Meng does have his own understanding.

This news is somewhat inconsistent with the letters he found in Shizhen.

But apart from that, what he was thinking about was:

Well……

The Shark Village controls production, plus the Skinners control logistics...

This model can be used for reference.

"Guys, please come over here."

At this moment, a voice came from beside several people, soft and magnetic, but somehow cold and hard.

It's like... it's not something that humans can send out.

They turned around and saw a black-gray face with stiff lines and sharp edges - but it was made of metal!

His forehead is protruding and equipped with three cameras.

Not the captain who brought them here.

But a mechanical life, a skeleton!

"Please." The skeleton man repeated again.

When he spoke, a slight vibration came from his throat, and the line carved into the mouth on his face closed and did not move. It was just a simple anthropomorphic decoration.

"This is also our skinner, an interesting... young man?" Big Gray on the side laughed. "He will take you to a resting place. When the time comes, he will go to Shark Village with our representatives."

Seto looked at him curiously.

She had heard the legend of bone men in the kingdom, but the number was too rare and she had never had the opportunity to see them with her own eyes.

Living skeletons, alive!

"Little girl, don't stare at others for a long time. It's impolite." The Skeleton Man raised a finger, "Whether it's among the Skeleton Men or among humans."

Seto came to his senses and apologized quickly.

Because the opponent's body is made up of gears, bearings, steel bars and other components, and is still exposed. It is very different from the biological structure, and looks like an ordinary mechanical dead thing.

She forgot for a moment that the other party was also an intelligent being.

But soon, the little princess realized something and corrected the other party's small mistake: "But, I am a Shaq."

Not human.

Upon hearing this, the Bone Man looked at the bone angles on her body as if scanning, and paused.

"Then I also apologize...we are even."

"but……"

"it's the same."
