Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Shark Village, early morning.

Seeing that there was no one around, Pompei took out a little lamb oil from the iron box he carried and applied it on his horns. He applied it evenly, making the pairs of horns smooth and smooth, making them look even sharper.

He looked at the reflection in the water beneath his feet and checked his appearance again.

Then he took a breath and relaxed.

Pompeo is a Shaq, the envoy of the kingdom who followed the skeleton group into the swamp this time, and one of the palace advisers of the Stone Demon Queen.

The so-called consultant.

It can be said that he is a rare civil servant among the Shaq tribe who can handle government affairs.

The stone demon called them together and gathered them in Admark to help him govern the country.

To a certain extent, it is also a check and balance on traditional tribal forces.

The chief among them is naturally Bayan.

He is also the person with the most power and the most trust from the Queen.

However, Pompeo is not from Bayan's lineage.

As the status of the advisory group became more and more important, the generals who had no right to speak in front of the Stone Demon in terms of military force were forced to find another way and began to use their connections to place their cronies among the advisors, commonly known as adding sand.

Pompeo is one of them.

Although Bayan's status among the advisors can be compared to the Stone Demon's status in the kingdom, the others have not been able to change the overall situation at all. They only maintain a competitive attitude in some areas, and these Bayan also sees it.

However, as long as the five people behind him don't fall.

The chief adviser also had nothing to do with Pompeo. He treated Pompeo as a nail driven into the board and ignored him without touching him. The two sides just ignored each other.

"However," Pompeo said, straightening his collar, "I finally took the chance."

He took the initiative to ask for permission to come to the swamp this time.

The reason was that the titled warrior Ryan secretly returned to the city. Then Bayan began to mobilize various personnel resources and secretly issued several orders... Although it was done covertly, it could not hide Pompeo's attention.

The most eye-catching one was the sudden announcement to expel the skeleton group, heading towards the swamp.

You know, the Skeleton Corps were rebels who openly rebelled against Scone Town.

He had been wanted before and could only wander in the wilderness.

Although the kingdom later canceled the wanted list (it is said that Bayan was also involved in the operation), and nominally no longer violated the law... But in general, these sword-wielding cut-horned people are still outside the mainstream society, and can almost Considered untouchable.

This time, Bayan finally made his final judgment on them.

The result was not annihilation.

Moreover, it is better to say that it is an eviction than an escort.

They also provided food and baggage.

In Sikun Town, a shop called Tieju also sponsored a large number of armor weapons.

Among them, there must be some ulterior transaction.

Pompeo thought he had grasped Bayan's handle, so he confronted him at night with irrefutable evidence - as expected, the despicable and arrogant hornless man was speechless and hesitant, but he still refused to explain. .

Fortunately, the other party finally gave in.

He said: "Pompe, otherwise... you can go with me."

Bayan explained that this way he could monitor his actions at any time, and if he saw anything harmful to the interests of the kingdom, he could impeach him and retaliate against him when he came back.

Pompeo also realized that no matter whether the skeleton group was related to this hornless man or not.

This all represents his dereliction of duty.

In Admark, there are almost countless people holding magnifying glasses, paying attention to every word and deed of this powerful chief adviser, waiting for him to make mistakes - as a cornerless person with no foundation, he naturally has no political advantage, even if he only shows his Bayan couldn't bear the slightest flaw.

Unfortunately, they didn't find it.

But this time, in Pompeo's view, Bayan was completely wrong.

Not only did they fund the former rebels, they also sent the kingdom's resources into the bottomless pit of the swamp... Throughout the ages, many Shaq tribes wanted to get involved, but in the end they all came to nothing, and nothing could be recovered.

What can Bayan do?

Not to mention that what went in was a motley crew.

Pompey asked the five people behind him for instructions, and got the general's approval and permission, so he entered the river with a few personal followers.

to him.

It was unbearable for him to walk with the skeletons and other broken-horned people.

However, Pompeo also knew about the swamp.

He judged that his group would stay outside for a circle at most, and then they would be unable to move forward due to getting lost and stuck in the mud. They would be able to return soon without having to endure it for long.

They worked hard and mobilized the masses, but in vain.

Another crime against Bayan.

As for whether he himself might die in the swamp, or simply be killed by the skeleton...

Pompeo was worried too.

However, the general behind him said this:

"Isn't that good?"

Bayan deliberately sent him into a dangerous place. He was jealous of his talents and killed his fellow consultants.

Guilty plus one.

Now, Pompeo had to go even if he didn’t want to.

Of course, he also knew that in this way, Bayan's cleverness would not cause him any harm in the swamp, and the safety guarantee would be sufficient.

However, as they entered the swamp.

The development of things was far beyond Pompeo's expectation.

The journey at the beginning was indeed thrilling, which was in line with the special envoy's expectations. He thought that everyone was about to return, but soon he was met by swamp people - they seemed to be specially waiting for them.

Especially after seeing a female warrior named Luca in the skeleton group, people became even more enthusiastic. They often mentioned words such as 'swamp ninja' and 'Mr. Lu' in their words that they did not understand, as if Luca had once It's as if I've been to the swamp with Mr. That Road.

"Which great god is this?" Pompeo secretly wrote down.

And under the leadership of Luka.

The villages that the Skeleton Corps passed through were not blocked by the villagers, but they were able to pass through without any obstruction... You know, the swamp people were particularly xenophobic in the past, let alone seeing an armed unit.

Now, everyone can even get supplies from it.

Pompeo noticed.

These swamp villages that welcomed them all received unified orders.

What surprised him even more,

It was after a group of people rushed to Shizhen.

Even the town in this swamp was opened for them!

The general guarding the city... was even a Shaq!

It seems familiar... Have you been to Admark...

Pompeo was shocked.

Could it be that Bayan's hand has already penetrated deep into the swamp?

Just so unconsciously, did you hide it from everyone?

How many years of operation does this take...

But in the past, Bayan had done nothing except trading some rice with the swamp villages and occasionally sending a few caravans.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out the joints.

Fortunately, he quickly confirmed that this was not Bayan's arrangement.

Because Gu Gu Tuan and his party seemed to be very surprised and did not know anything about it.

What happened next was also clear to others.

Secretly form alliances, disguise as bandits, sweep through dense forests, intercept and kill the remaining soldiers of the United City...

But these things.

Pompeo did not participate at all.
