Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 619 Trust (Combined Chapter)
Of course, he knew that the Lord of Blood was not a fool, and was even a much more dangerous enemy than others imagined, otherwise his unfortunate predecessor would not have fallen into his hands.

The other party must be able to see the dangers on the road.

Let alone sending an envoy, even if you use the army as an escort, you may be ambushed - you can pass through the border of the United City in a swagger, and the border guards will know what to do without Yamudu taking any action, otherwise there is no need for them to exist.

The Chamber of Commerce can monopolize the exchange and trade between the East and West continents.

It relies on strangling the throat of the main road.

However, there is an alternative.

That is to put on a coat of "neutrality"...the choice is still technology hunter.

As long as they act in the name of technology hunters and have their people to recommend and accompany them, no one will attack them except those who are really blind.

Even the United Cities.

You have to give him some face on the surface.

Otherwise, the ending of Kral's Choice will serve as a lesson for us - you can exchange one head for a silver card, and there are still many desperadoes willing to give it a try.

Therefore, Yamudu guessed that Lu Beiyou must be waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a team of technology hunters to pass by Shandi while performing a mission, and let them take on this commission by the way - such an unintentional search can further reduce the possibility of showing abnormalities and ensure concealment.

He even thought about hiring a few teams of technology hunters himself, giving them some insignificant tasks, and letting them pass through the land as if inadvertently, and deliver the "opportunity" to Lu Beiyou personally, because he was worried that the other party could not wait any longer. However, considering the risk of being exposed and in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yamudu had to give up after weighing the pros and cons.

Facing an opponent who defeated his predecessor and overthrew the president's arrangements in the Land of Flash... he must be extremely cautious.

everything done.

We can only go with the flow.

"Lord Yamudu..." Seeing that the bee man had fallen into silence for a long time, Jinyi's face became more solemn and his heart was pounding.

Even when he was commanding the ambush and killing of the anti-slavery ronin thugs and bloody remnants, the other party's face had an expression of confidence in victory as he expected, and he was calm and relaxed... Not as cautious as it is now, thinking as if no one is around and it seems that he can't even hear what he is saying.

Are the looters outside the city really that troublesome?
Indeed, they have been besieging the edge town fearlessly for more than three months. If this city-state was not originally a frontier fortress with high walls and powerful artillery, and if the merchant guild had not managed to send in supplies and military rations... if it were any other noble territory, it would have been breached and fallen, with a bloodbath.

But Yamudu was their chief commander. With his planning and tactics, the plunderers suffered heavy casualties and got nothing in return... That was why Jinyi relied on him so much and could get whatever he wanted.

Is it...

The woman was shocked.

Has he finally decided to take action against himself and this city-state?
"Lord Yamudu, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your legs..." The noble woman put on a smile and stretched out her hand to move forward. There was no trace of the demeanor of a great lord at all.

"No, I can't bear it." Yamudu woke up from his thoughts and pushed away the other's fat hand with a little disgust - these sword-bearing nobles were different from them, the merchants, because they had the martial tradition of their ancestors, even if they had never been to the battlefield, their families would find ways to increase their strength.

In order to practice with slave gladiators in the middle.

It could cost countless lives.

But their actual combat capabilities are generally worrying and they are no match for enemies of the same level - that is why Yamudu is worried that the opponent may not be able to control the strength and thus crush his thin arms and legs.

Not out of respect or anything like that.

He saw the other party's concerns.

The corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.

——That’s right, the siege of the plunderers was the last link he set up.

Even if Lu Beiyou could get the recommendation of the Technology Hunter Team, he would definitely have some concerns, fearing that the United City would find some seemingly legitimate reasons to trip him up and delay time, or even secretly plot a murderous move.

Therefore, I dare not set out easily.

So, how do we dispel the other party’s concerns?
Very simple.

Yamudu decided to "tie" his own hands.

Today, Edge Town is under siege. Although the east-west corridor is in chaos, it is not affected by the United City.

This is true for the Blood Lord who came from a humble background.

On the contrary, it is the safest.

The road to the black scratch has been opened before him. All he needs to do next is to take his gift money, chips and goodwill and set off on the journey.

And then he was buried here.

——Predator.

He is the person that Yamudu is least worried about.

He was confident that he had done it perfectly. From the anti-slavery fighters to the imperial generals, from the tech hunters of Black Scratches to the sword-bearing nobles of Edge Town... no one noticed anything.

It was because he was facing that man from a distance that Yamudu had to spend so much time thinking and disguising himself... Otherwise, if it were a reckless person, he probably wouldn't have thought of leveraging the power of the Tech Hunters, and would have foolishly sent an envoy to communicate with the Black Scratches without authorization, and would have been caught in one fell swoop.

Of course, if you can't even think of this.

That person would not be the current Lord of Blood.

Even though he is an enemy, Yamudu is more confident about this than anyone else.

To some extent.

——He trusted Lu Beiyou.

That's exactly what happened.

Isn't it worth being their enemy?

Yamudu still remembers... the words the president said to him when he just inherited this identity -

To fight him...

You have to wait at least another five years.

Perhaps when Long En said this, it was without any emotion - but to others, it was undoubtedly a shame.

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

What was ignited was the anger of unwillingness in my heart.

Why?
I have been hiding my identity, living in fear, without even a single day of rest, willing to be someone else's stand-in, and there is even a very real possibility that I will never get ahead in my entire life... Now I have finally grasped hope.

Are we really so far inferior to others?
Although Yamudu could still suppress his anger at the beginning, after the battle of Edge Town, the anti-slavery fighters fell into their own trap accurately. The three war-level warriors fought like puppets, and in the end both enemies were defeated... Only he, a former unknown man, benefited from it.

Complete the task successfully.

Even the predecessor probably couldn't have achieved such an achievement, right?

Then, the Blood Lord who had defeated his predecessor...

Why can't I fight against it?
Since inheriting this identity, Yamudu has been able to increasingly understand his predecessor’s feelings… to prove himself, to surpass himself… to prove that he can surpass countless past “selves” and future “selves”.

Otherwise, you may be replaced at any time.

No one will remember you anymore.

Now, he finally got the chance to prove himself... to prove the president was wrong.

Prove that he can defeat Lu Beiyou.

Prove that he is irreplaceable!

The siege by the marauders has lasted for three months. Even if we just maintain the situation, it will consume a lot of resources. Fortunately, they are still within the scope of his current authority... After sending Mrs. Jinyi away, Yamudu thought... and this is also the price necessary to confuse Lu Beiyou.

The time is right and the road is paved.

According to his intelligence network, South Union City seemed to have reached some kind of deal with the Depression Lagoon a month ago, and the final decision would depend on Black Scratches, so it was inevitable that the Tech Hunters would pass through Flash Land.

Yamudu believed that the other party would not miss this opportunity - and neither would he.

It’s just the other party’s progress.

It's much slower than I expected.

He was even a little worried that Lu Beiyou might have been delayed by some other things... such as South United City.

You know, it's not just yourself who is the enemy of the Lord of Blood, there are also those sword-bearing nobles - and they are undoubtedly much more brutal in their actions, without any of the elegance and calmness of the business nobles.

This is truly a test of patience.

However, Yamudu still believed that he would win… After all, if the plunderers were really "repelled", Lu Beiyou would miss the rare window of opportunity - as long as this was taken into consideration, the longer the time was delayed, the more anxious the opponent would become.

The fear of missing out is the greatest poison.

Again? Yamudu frowned.

He had just seen off Madam Jin Yi, so he didn't have time to play along with other people...

However, as the knocking continued, Yamudu recognized the rhythm, his face changed, and he quickly got up and opened the door.

The iron door was only opened a crack.

The side profile of a black figure was revealed.

He held a piece of letter paper between his fingers.

On the corners, there are familiar dark patterns... from the Merchant Blade.

Yamudu: “The president’s letter?”

As he took it, he looked at the messenger, but the other party's figure was completely hidden in the darkness, and even when it was right in front of him, it seemed unclear - extremely high stealth skills.

But Yamudu is no stranger.

The spy arranged by the president had been seen many times before. Although he had never seen the other person's face, he knew his identity.

Many times, the president's instructions were conveyed by this secret agent... No one knew how he managed to get through the raiders' encirclement and travel back and forth between the two cities.

And this also made Yamudu know clearly.

His every move was under Long En's control... perhaps except for the plan against the Lord of Blood, he thought.

Because this was not the president's plan, and on the surface, everything Yamudu did was just to complete the guild's original mission.

Even if the plan succeeds in the end.

It was just an unexpected surprise that killed two birds with one stone.

Be a subordinate.

You just need to learn how to manage expectations.

Just as he wanted to get closer to see the spy's face more clearly, he felt the other party take a step back, then shook his head and spoke: "These are what happened in the south."

South? Yamudu was stunned.

Pointing where.

Storm's Eye, Remote Place, Disgust or...

"Yamudu," the other party continued, "It's not written in the letter, but the president asked me to tell you... Be careful of the sword cubs in South United City."

"Those people may be targeting you..."

and many more!

Before he could finish his words, the bee man's fingers trembled when he heard it, and he almost couldn't catch the letter.

What does this have to do with me!
……

……

The air was deathly quiet.

Flashland, Embers Hall.

The young man in black robe was still standing quietly in the center of the moonlight, just as he had done when he invited them... But at his feet, the giant Xiang Feng who was cut in half, the berserker Wang Chi who was chopped into pieces, and the female tech hunter Julie who was torn apart alive, all proved what had just happened.

Everyone here almost stopped breathing... In the packed hall, the only sound left was the movement of pieces of flesh and limbs on the ground.

They were reflected on the smooth, dark ground, appearing doubly cruel and bloody.

Wen Jin's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, and Li Rong, who had just taken a few steps, was stopped in place... They were the only ones who were still able to fight, but after witnessing the Blood Lord's martial arts that were like a god or demon, the two no longer believed that they were enough to fight against him with their own strength.

They never underestimated the war class.

I have never underestimated the Lord of Blood.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of the great importance and the sense of being faced with a formidable enemy that this interlocking plan was put into place - the attempt in the swamp was frustrated, the target was shifted, the joints were bribed, the most extreme transformation surgery was used, the pawns among the Tech Hunters were activated with inducements or hatred, and they did not hesitate to expose years of arrangements, alienate the Mine Hunters, incite the Beaked Orangutans to create chaos, and use the general situation to force the other party to show their cards...

And to capture the Blood Lord who was unarmed, who was gathering privately without guards, and who should be at his weakest and most vulnerable moment...

It can be said that based on their prior assessment.

If any other imperial general, the Invincible Five, or the Holy Nation's Inquisitor had fallen into the same situation alone, they would have been killed without a complete body.

After all, this is a designed condition.

It's really too blessed.

And at this moment, this is actually their last chance to take action - once they leave the Flash Land and actually go to the Black Scratch, it would be fine if they don't reveal their identities, but once they are exposed, they will be attacked from both sides.

The Merchant Guild, and the Lord of Blood.

By then, even if they could seize the intelligent core, they would be blocked by the flash land on their way back, and going north would also be a wedding dress for Long En - the latter would be worse than being fed to the dogs for Grace and Merlin.

It is better to be useless than to aid the enemy.

At least there won't be double loss.

Therefore, when Lu Beiyou appeared in the auditorium of the cult's gathering, with a mysterious and holy look and showing his intelligent core... several hunters from Lake Town did feel a sense of ecstasy in their hearts, as if they were blessed by God.

——The only chance.

Just like that, I got here.

In other words, if we don't seize the excellent conditions today, we will never have another chance in the future...so how can we miss it?
……miss?
"It seems that you understand." Lu Meng put his hands behind his back and looked at the technical hunter and crossbowman Romi who was more than ten meters away from him.

The man's Eagle Crossbow had already been loaded with a new arrow, and the bowstring was fully loaded... Logically speaking, with his archery skills and the powerful power of the Eagle Crossbow, once he aimed and shot in the melee just now, even if he couldn't seriously injure Lu Meng who was already at the peak of his powers, he could at least save one or two teammates, make him fearful, and increase his chances of winning.

However, no.

Romi just held the trigger of the Eagle Crossbow tightly, until his knuckles turned blue and white... but he couldn't pull the trigger in the end.

Because, he knows.

It's too late.

No, from the beginning.

There is no chance.

That is, bait.

"I've always wondered how to kill myself... 'How many steps are needed to kill the Lord of Blood'?" Lu Meng told a joke that only he understood. "Since even I can think of it, I believe many people in this world have made the same plan."

He only needs one of them.

A plan that went so smoothly it could be described as perfect.

——This is exactly what is poisonous.

In this world, the most attractive and confusing things are not the benefits that are within reach...but the great opportunities that can be missed by a hair's breadth.

The crisis of worrying about gain and loss, the regret of worrying about missing out forever...

It's enough to drive people crazy.

——But once you know this truth, how could you fall into the same trap?

"Roar--"

A roar sounded, and at this point, it was obvious that no one wanted to listen to Lu Meng anymore - because every word he said was like a red-hot iron, stinging the other person's nerves that were already on the verge of collapse.

But, this roar.

And weird and inhuman.

Wen Jin and Li Rong's skin suddenly cracked like a cocoon, and their tough combat uniforms were torn to pieces - unlike Romi, they were obviously ready for a last fight.

Click.

A beast's foot, covered in spikes and a hard shell, like the dead Julie's, fell to the ground.
