Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

As Lu Meng and the others confirmed, getting close to the High-Wall Shield Guards, or even controlling the entire outer suburbs where the wild people live, does not count as controlling Aikang Town - there are large mining areas and ruins of the imperial city. If it is just If you achieve the former, you will only have the power to sign on a cage, which has no practical significance.

Tian Xin Li Zheng also knew this.

And he didn't think that he could overcome the existing problems by just relying on his own strength and leading the army to settle in and return to the Ai Mine.

"So... he wants to find you?" Bo looked slightly moved, "Explore the core of Aikang Town."

Yes, in Tian Xin Li Zheng's letter, he did not mention the word cooperation, but he has hinted that he will control the troops in Kaidun City and only stick to the sections of the city wall that he has already controlled without continuing to expand, leaving a clear buffer zone. .

Their goal is to penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Ai Mine.

Kaidun City is in the south, and Lu Meng and others are in the north. The two teams will face each other and go deep into this long-abandoned old imperial city.

"In this way, if something happens, we can share the pressure, or let the other side attract firepower; at the same time, it depends on each person's ability to find something to gain." Lu Meng said, "But no matter what the result is, wait until we meet …In the end, this city-state will be completely wiped out.”

Bo snorted lightly and said nothing.

Lu Meng did not mention the content of the letter, but turned around and mentioned another matter: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Tian Xinli?"

"A powerful enemy that must be eliminated." The anti-slavery person replied without thinking.

But after saying that, she shook her head again: "He is also a person who cannot move temporarily."

First, it’s because of strength.

The method of assassination is to defeat the strong with the weak, so they are naturally at a disadvantage. Judging from the attack of Tian Xinli Zheng to force Diu back, several war-level ronin in their anti-slavery group will be unable to do anything if they do not join forces and fight alone. other side.

Plus Kaiton City.

Compared to this general, the contemporary lord of the Tenshin family, Mr. Shiro, is rumored to have a soft and weak personality, but he is very methodical in the management of the city-state and the management of guards.

If Tianxin Lizheng retreats to Kaidun City, the price of killing him will be doubled again.

However, these are only minor factors.

"Secondly... you are worried about Yudao and South Beehive." Lu Meng slowly picked up Bo's words.

The headquarters of the anti-slavery people is located in Stobo Venture to the east. Even if there are many difficulties in assassinating Tenshin Rimasa, if Hui is determined, or Tin Fist takes action himself, there won't be many variables in the outcome.

But the consequences could be serious.

Tian Xinli is currently in charge of South United City. This is not just talk. In the far south of the continent, there are threats from fish-shaped people and southern hives. The former are numerous and tenacious, while the latter are bloodthirsty and unreasonable... no matter which one they are. Branches are all existences capable of destroying cities and annihilating tribes.

In the future, gangs of human skin gangs may also be added.

Lu Meng silently added in his heart.

Regardless of whether the southern hive is guarding the Royal Valley, they will attack and capture any foreigners who enter the valley but have little intention of expanding. However, the fish island where the fish-shaped people are squatting never forgets to attack the mainland.

If Kaidun City hadn't been the mainstay, I'm afraid most of the Skeleton Wasteland would have been overrun by murlocs. It was not unreasonable for this city-state to develop into an important military town and produce fierce men like Tianxin Rizheng.

It’s all through experience.

In other words, forced.

The anti-slavery people are indeed enemies of the United City and the merchant guilds behind them, but they are not mindlessly opposed: no matter how bad the order is, it is still order. Before they have the ability to rebuild the ruins, hasty overthrow may even cause more trouble. Big damage.

Obviously, the special city-state of Kaidun City is included in it. It has the production group of Scrap Master, and it is on the front line against the aliens. It is a rare fortress for mankind in the beast disaster... As its The guardian, Tianxin Risheng, and the 'thugs' anti-slavery people have reached a similar coexistence situation without interfering with each other.

for both parties.

They are both checks and balances and compromises.

It is conceivable that until someone can replace Tianxin Lizheng's position, this situation will continue to be maintained and will be difficult to break.

So after learning that Lu Meng had received a letter from Tian Xin Li Zheng, Bo's reaction was surprisingly calm. On the one hand, he was not surprised and felt that this was something that the United City general would do. On the other hand, he was not surprised. Do not violate their own position.

Now that the southern nobles all believe that Northern United City and even the Merchant Guild and Long En are their biggest enemies, a Blood Lord from Shenda... The Red King appears here, and it is not without cooperation with him. possible.

Only now did Bo finally understand the original plan of Mr. Gray and Lu Beiyou: Long En was the best at killing people with a borrowed sword, and watched his enemies fight from behind the scenes, losing both sides. Among them, the southern states were undoubtedly the ones he could mobilize with the help of the puppet emperor. The most powerful force that is also easy to use.

But now, the hilt is reversed.

The sharp blade was not only pointed at himself, but even his two enemies, and there was a possibility of cooperation.

Although its foundation is quite weak and it can only happen this time, it is still an extremely unfavorable signal for the merchant guild.

"So, do you want to agree?"

Bo asked.

Lu Meng nodded slowly.

There are more complex implications.

For example, what promoted the change of Tianxin Lizheng was most likely the instigation and interests of the two city-states, Colons and Wandering End; on the other hand, Kaiton City also cooperated with the Watcher of the Depression Lagoon...

Although his plan was quickly defeated by Lu Meng before it had time to take effect, and the partner Qin was already alive and dead, so there was no need to continue to perform the contract - but according to Lu Meng's understanding, Tian Xin Li Zheng may be the one who really cares about this kind of thing in the world. Things are different.

This kind of cooperation is shaky.

The foundation is not even as solid as the tacit understanding between him and some enemies.

But no matter what kind of hidden secrets there are, Lu Meng's understanding of Tianxin Lizheng is far better than his understanding of himself. Even if they go hand in hand, they will never lose.

"However, this is really rare. Even Mr. Gray, this is probably the first time he has heard of it, right?" When Bo saw Lu Meng nodding, she knew that the matter had been finalized. She relaxed her heart and changed to a chatting tone. , "As someone who stands on the opposite side, it was Tianshin Risheng who first extended an olive branch."

When the young man put down the letter, she stepped forward to take a look at it out of curiosity, and then looked away numbly.

Compared with Qilu Meng, Tianxin Rizheng has indeed been famous for a long time and is a veteran strongman who has already established his position. Even Ronin Diu had an estimate of the Red King's strength when he led the team into Shandi. But he didn't expect General Tianxin to value him so much.

Kaedun City has no successors, and the southern states have not seen any underachievers worthy of vigorous cultivation recently. Bo even doubted whether Tian Xinli was so caring when he was encouraging and commending his family.

"...That's not necessarily true. I've seen another case." Lu Meng said casually, but he had another thing in mind.

Kaidun City promised not to continue to expand its sphere of influence in Aikang Town. The previous team of heavily armored warriors were really envoys. They came and delivered the letter and left immediately without stopping. The shield guards on the high wall were a little confused. No idea.

But this is by no means Tianxinlizheng suffering a loss.

They have occupied nearly three-quarters of the city defense of Aikou, and coupled with the natural tendency of high-walled shield guards, the remaining part still needs to be divided into a buffer zone to avoid conflicts between the two sides...

It can be said that Lu Meng is just sure that he can establish a firm foothold in Aikang Town.

But in this way, the person he is looking for should now be within the other party's control.

"Exactly, this is my condition."
