Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The same fighting and fighting does not only occur in the Iron Dome.

On the outskirts of Shark Village, the suspended plank roads extending in all directions in the city, the node sentries... fierce conflicts broke out everywhere.

Those responsible for guarding are often members of the Hound Gang.

Now they are being stabbed in the back to varying degrees.

Especially at the outermost defense line, the guards are well prepared to defend against foreign enemies. Coupled with the terrain advantages and platform fortifications, the entire Shark Village is impregnable.

This time, however, the enemy is within.

Normally, there is not no conflict during the alliance, but it is often limited to a small circle of senior leaders, trying to minimize all losses - after all, everyone's main purpose is to seek unity, not to cause internal strife. of.

No one expected that the black converter would show up like this.

In other words, even they themselves don't want this.

However, it was no longer these swamp bees who dominated the situation at this moment, but the heavily armed Union City soldiers.

To them, this is a war.

As for the switchers? It's no different from the gangsters in the slums of the city-state. When they indulge you, they can rule the roost, but when the authorities get involved, it is the highest honor to have you lead the way.

Silver Shadow looked at the scenes in front of him with complicated emotions.

The rain in the sky has become heavier and heavier.

From the pattering at the beginning, to the fact that even the dense branches and leaves of ancient trees cannot cover it, the heavy water keeps pouring down.

But I don’t know why.

Although there was water all around, Silver Shadow felt as if the entire Shark Village was in flames, burning.

Perhaps it was the bursts of wailing coming from my ears,

The pain is no less painful than being roasted in a fire.

If there is anything to be relieved about, it is that I am on the winning side——

"The gambling house has been handed over. The hidden hunting dogs were found and all thirty-seven people were executed!"

"Dancing Skeleton Man, blockade!"

"The Dead Leaf Gang is stationed. Its leader did not attend the rally and has been captured!"

"Eastern District, total occupation!"

...Real-time news came like snow flakes one after another. When Yinying heard it, a map of Shark Village naturally emerged in his mind. The black areas on the map spread out like ink, covering the entire area. Every location is infested.

But he knew that these reports were not for him.

"Very good." Yamudou nodded lightly.

He was wearing a large black cloak, with the uniform of the merchant guild exposed underneath, standing in the rain, holding a tanned and thinned leather umbrella in his hand, and the rainwater hung from the edge to form a curtain.

Looking at the umbrella in his hand, Yinying felt quite strange.

As a hive tribe, the climate in the place where they were born is extremely humid. Although the tribe is not afraid of drought, they generally like water and rain - so when Silver Shadow came to the swamp, he felt like he was home.

But this Yamudu, who is also a bee, hates clothes that get wet on his body, and the disgust between his eyebrows cannot be concealed.

If it weren't for commanding the final battle.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to attend the scene in person.

The only explanation is that Yamudou is already a Northern United City person living in the desert from his very heart, which is why he is so uncomfortable.

"Senior Silver Shadow, where should we go next?" said the bee man wearing a big cloak.

Silver Shadow was stunned and reported a planned location, but then smiled bitterly: "Lord Yamudou... there is no need to make such a joke."

After their first meeting, it didn't take long for him to learn Yamudou's identity.

I was immediately horrified and inexplicable.

Yamudou's willingness to show up also means that the plan has entered the final stage. Not only the Union City soldiers, but also the entire black converters, including Silver Shadow, are under his control.

Silver Shadow is responsible for connecting with Yamudou and introducing the situation.

To be more precise, it is the leading party.

What makes Yin Ying even more uncomfortable is that this big shot in United City always likes to use honorifics to himself when getting along... He obviously never does this to Da Heimei.

It is hard not to suspect that this is to praise or ridicule oneself.

"I'm right." Yamudou held an umbrella and strolled along the plank road, followed by neatly organized Union City soldiers, converters, and a Shaq crossbowman holding a grass stem in his mouth.

Just below him, a broken boat floated down the river.

The next moment, a figure emerged silently from the cabin. His yellow leather coat was stained with blood, he held a knife in his hand, and his eyes were filled with anger - he looked like a member of the Hound Gang.

The hound seized the opportunity and was about to take advantage of the rain to sneak up to the shore.

His head suddenly exploded into blood.

"Phew." The headhunter spat out a grass stem so that he could have time to cock the Old World crossbow.

A black converter wasp captain followed her, holding an arrow in both hands, with a flattering expression on his face, waiting for her to come and get it at any time.

Silver Shadow ignored all this and just chased after Yamudou.

Since the beginning of the battle, such scenes have happened countless times. Countless people want to assassinate Yamudou, but the final result is always like this - often before everyone can react, the assassin has already He was shot in the head by his personal crossbowman, without exception.

This is a superb shooter.

After seeing it so much, Silver Shadow was completely numb from the initial shock.

And when he rushed to Yamudu, he heard a sentence: "I am a black converter."

"Sir, what does this mean?" Silver Shadow was puzzled.

"After this operation, I will stay in the swamp and not leave." Yamudou smiled, "What else would be more suitable for me than a black converter? I am indeed a newcomer."

"Haha, adults are joking..." Silver Shadow agreed casually.

Of course he wouldn't take it seriously. As a favorite of Long En, Yamudu has great power even though he does not have any nominal official status so far. His future prospects after returning to United City are limitless. How can he be trapped in this small quagmire?

From Silver Shadow's perspective, this action is enough to decide the fate of the swamp.

But for people like him, it is just a gilding in the official career.

"This is no joke..."

Yamudou waved his hands, as if he didn't want to say more.

He then thought about it, looked at Yin Ying's side face, and said with a smile: "Senior...you used to be a slave, right?"

Silver Shadow's heart skipped a beat.

His face still bears the mark of being a slave before he escaped. This is a scar that will last a lifetime. However, in the swamp, no one cares about these, so he just went with it, and over time, even he almost forgot about it.

But who would have thought.

One day, the forces from the United City will invade here.

How would they view former slaves like themselves? Especially when it comes to escaping on your own...

"Don't be nervous, I just said it casually - look at the mark, the previous owner of the senior was probably that fat-headed guy. He is already dead now. No one will pursue these lost properties again... They say the swamp is freedom. The country is truly well-deserved, and I like it here more and more." Yamudou stretched his hand out of the umbrella, touched a handful of rainwater, then retracted it and stretched it on his clothes, "It's just that there seems to be something that doesn't like me here?"

While he was talking, the headhunter took a few hundred steps and penetrated the head of an assassin.

The terrain and architecture of Shark Village are complex, so it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.

Shaq's crossbowman has superb shooting skills and a powerful crossbow. Logically speaking, just to be safe, just hitting the upper body is enough to kill someone. However, she still likes to shoot headshots with arrows, and she seems to especially enjoy the feeling of having her brain explode.

"Only relatively speaking." Silver Shadow replied.

Talk about a free country... In fact, the survival of the fittest here is much more fierce than other places. There is no less dirt than there should be, but it is in a world of its own and is less disturbed by the outside world.

Of course, this isolation is constantly being broken.

Under the chaotic general trend, the swamp will one day be integrated into the entire world, and there is no way to escape...whether passively or actively.

However, Yinying didn't expect it.

The first one to break in was actually Union City... With the slave master as a comparison, even the gang boss looked much more pleasing to the eye.

I really don’t know whether the future will be good or bad.

As for whether he likes it or not...it doesn't matter what he says. Even if the swamp is really conscious, who knows what it is thinking——

Bury you all.

"Yeah." Yamudou had no intention of getting the answer.

but.

Upon hearing his next words, Yin Ying felt an electric current quietly flowing through his body.

"I carefully checked out the mission points that need to be captured," Yamudou tapped his forehead, "Senior, you seem to have missed a place."

"Where is the Skinner's station...?"

It was discovered... The silver shadow secret path is not good.

This is indeed his deliberate omission to mislead.

As for why he did this... there is no need to explain in detail. He can't betray his friends. Whether it's Seto or that new human being.

But as a member of the Black Converters.

Many times, we often have no control over ourselves.

"The location where the Skinners are stationed is not an important place. The Hound Gang will not allow them to occupy the main road of Shark Village - so it is not a strategic target that needs priority." Silver Shadow told the truth, "And I remember that in the plan, dealing with the Skinners Mr. Chai Shi is responsible for this."

He didn't know if the human had expected this day and whether he would respond.

Because since Yamudou took over the project, the entire Black Converters have been in a state of absolute martial law, and no information can be leaked out.

The reason for being able to buy this little reaction time is reasonable.

Yinying felt that no matter who he was dealing with, he had done his utmost to be kind and righteous.

Sure enough, Yamudou accepted his statement, but fell into deep thought again and said to himself:

"I'm always a little worried about that hooded guard...can he handle the deputy leader of the Skinners?"

"..."

Silver Shadow recalled the scene when he and that man were confronting each other at the gambling table.

Then he smiled and tried to change the subject: "Master Chai Shi is from a noble family, so he must..."

"Just because he is a noble... But it's not his side that I'm worried about." Yamudou interrupted mercilessly.

"But the deputy leader."

Silver Shadow: "...What problem can he have?"

"He is too clean." The bee man looked in the direction of the iron dome. From this distance, he could only see the top of the tower, but it was enough to imagine the brutal fighting that took place there. "You, me, the black converter, including those who were originally here The Hound Gang...Everyone who comes to Shark Village has ulterior motives, has their own various purposes, and their own positions."

"So, where's the Skinner?"

"It's like they...really want to join the alliance."

You... you think the alliance is wrong, right? They all take the Shark Village Conference as something, and none of them take it seriously... Silver Shadow cursed secretly in his heart.

But then I think about it...it seems like this is really the case...

Although the appearance of the skinned man was very arrogant, upon closer inspection, all the actions taken were essentially in line with the tradition of the alliance and were step-by-step.

Compared with other ghosts and monsters, especially the Double Blade Group and the Black Converters, who are secretly supported by the United City, they are completely different.

Because it is too normal, it seems out of place.

"Such a person is either really a blank slate, thinking nothing, knowing nothing..." Yamudou asserted, "or he hides his purpose deeper than anyone else, It’s all even more terrifying!”

Yinying didn't dare to answer, but since he said this, it proved to be just an unfounded guess, probably due to his suspicious nature - in such a position, he would not trust others easily.

"Sir, what about me?" The headhunter on the side stepped forward.

She had just shot a few more people, but this time they were not assassins, but seemed to be just ordinary residents of Shark Village.

Because the family was frightened, they wanted to observe the situation and opened the window and stuck their heads out.

When he was discovered by the headhunter, he casually added a few arrows and hit them accurately.

The surrounding enemies have been cleared away, and there is silence. Only the screams and sobs in a few shacks are left, and the remaining residences are as silent as cicadas.

Yamudou glanced at her angrily: "You are a terrible person who doesn't think about anything."

Can we only say that they are worthy of the Shaq clan?

Even if you become a shooter, you still have the same virtue.

In comparison, he still prefers chatting with Silver Shadow, who is also the Hive Prince. Although the other party is a little cautious, he can at least keep up with his own thoughts... although there is not much time for this.

"In short, let's take over the defense of the Hound Gang first." Yamudou continued to give orders, his voice was as thin as a bee's, but his will was as cold as iron.

The soldiers acted quickly... Compared to the aggressive behavior of swamp gangs fighting for territory, they were more efficient and ruthless. They purely regarded it as a military operation and a mission, like a complex machine harvesting lives like weeds. Occupy each stronghold.

Is this the regular army of United City... Silver Shadow thought to himself.

Or is it just because these are Yamudou's elite soldiers? With his superficial understanding, he also knew that there were actually two major systems within the United City, mainly merchant guilds and city-state lords. In addition, the quality of each other between the central and local governments, northern and southern cities, and city-states... The atmosphere differs greatly.

But let's be honest.

Even if Yinying's vision is not that broad, he still feels...

The number of troops and generals brought by Yamudou's operation was somewhat small.

If he is really the favored minister of Long En, and his actions in the swamp are so important, he must at least be accompanied by a war-level general to protect him.

There is no need to rely on the power of black converters and South United City.

This gives people the feeling that he has tried his best to achieve all this.

"There's nothing else to do anyway..."

Before Silver Shadow could think clearly, he heard Yamudu say again: "Then, let's go to the Skinner's station."

"It is impossible to leave such an obvious blind spot in Shark Village."

"Let's take it over."

Hearing this, the headhunter whistled excitedly.

However, the Shaq shooter, who has always had a sharp ear and eyes, did not notice it.

In the distance, under the water that had been considered clear before, a petite figure in black clothes emerged.

The rain poured down and the lake was shattered.

Under the dim light, even the dark shadows hiding in it looked dreamy and ethereal.

Bo just came up quickly and took a look.

Then he dived into the water again and swam away.
