Chapter 1360 The Land of Chaos
Although no one knows whether the southeast peninsula is really so worthless or not, but political considerations alone are enough for the two countries to do it.

The two countries that belong to deadly rivals cannot give up the southeast peninsula by themselves, so that the other party can occupy the land of a new province in vain.

Of course, it is even more impossible for them to add a main battlefield to a place of little value. Therefore, after some trials, the two countries have a tacit agreement to abandon the southeast peninsula.

Of course, the two countries will never allow this southeast peninsula to take advantage of both sides, so they deliberately support multiple forces on this peninsula, and also intend to unite to take advantage of those forces that have grown up due to their careless neglect. unplug.

After coming down a few times, the forces on the southeast peninsula are as they are now, so many that the two big countries that initiated the crime were surprised.

At this level, the two major powers have completely let go of their hearts and let them fend for themselves.

The southeastern peninsula is close to a coastal area of ​​Haiquan Province in the Augustus Empire. There is a stone-based building with a wood body, a height of more than ten meters, and a circumference of about 1000 meters. It stands on a high ground. .

Surrounding this building are densely packed houses with thatched roofs. Of course, there are occasional large houses with glazed tiles.

When you see these, you will know that that strange building is the castle where the mastermind of the forces ruling this area lives.

But even though this castle is not as good as the county seat of the August Empire, it is considered a strong city on the southeastern peninsula.This castle has a nice name - Mingyue City.

At this moment, in the tallest building in Mingyue City, sitting at the top of the tallest building is a strong man with a fierce face and a strong body. He said to an equally strong man standing in front of him: "What's the matter with Peter and those two?" ? It was agreed to suspend for a few days, and it has been thirteen days now, why hasn’t the dock been reopened? Are they planning to break the covenant?”

This brawny man was as shrewd as his appearance, and he smiled and bowed and said, "My lord, Peter and Kate are in trouble. They sent someone to attack a major lord occupying a smuggling route, but they were completely wiped out. Give them a headache."

For some reason, the city lord smiled when he heard Peter's failure.

"A small major can occupy the smuggling route, and let people wipe out the attackers sent? Peter and Kate are really useless. How many people did Kate send?"

In the latter sentence, you can tell from the city lord's casual look that he asked casually.

"My lord, according to the information, the opponent only has 800 people, and Kate sent two teams." The brawny man said.

"Oh, that major's troops are so powerful, they can win with 600 or [-] people less than the opponent? Are you sure that major has no background?" the city lord asked while rubbing his chin.

The strong man nodded and said: "I can only find out that he has no background at all. If it is not true, then he is hiding too deeply. However, I guess it should be the former. After all, it is impossible for someone with a background to stay in the major to lead the development. territorial."

The city lord sighed and said: "Well, we are not imperial people anyway, so we don't need to care about so many things. Now that the smuggling line is broken, we have a backlog of goods here, and the merchants have opinions. If we don't open it as soon as possible, our Funds will be in short supply. We need money to do everything. Just to prevent those two guys from knowing that we only have one source of goods, we can only endure it. After all, we act like we have several sources of goods in front of them. .”

"Then can we encourage several groups of rogues to attack the major's collar?" asked the brawny man.

"Of course, it's also a shame for Kate and the others. If the smuggling pier falls into my hands, those two guys won't dare to talk about it when they share the dividends!

"I'll leave this to you, but those rogues are less powerful than Kate's two brigades, so remember to encourage them more." The city lord said with a smile.

"Yes."

When the strong man was about to retreat, a carrier pigeon flew in.

The city lord asked the strong man to stay, and after reading the letter carried by the carrier pigeon, he handed the letter to the strong man, and said with a smile: "Peter and Kate must have been caught by the major, otherwise they would not have asked if the major Joined, hum, look at the tone of the letter, it almost implies that I must let the major join."

"My lord, how do you decide? They are local snakes." The brawny man asked.

"Hehe, of course I agree. After all, it doesn't matter if there are more or less people in our transaction." The city lord laughed.

"Since this is the case, do we still need to let those rogues attack the major?" the brawny man asked again.

"Of course, continue to attack. I still hope that they can occupy that place. Not to mention the loss of the territory, the major has to leave obediently. Moreover, we who occupy the pier can take the majority when distributing bonuses." The city owner said.

The brawny man hesitated a bit: "But wouldn't it be..."

He couldn't say the word "returning in words", how could he send someone to attack while agreeing to join the gang?
"I know what you want to say, but don't forget the conditions offered by the person who contacted us last time. Although we have a long relationship with Peter and the others, in order for my family to develop by leaps and bounds, maybe we have to change partners. Well, anyway, whoever sells it doesn’t sell it?”

When the city lord said this, seeing what the strong man wanted to say, he waved his hands and smiled: "Of course, this is also a temptation. If the major can't stop the rogues, then he doesn't have the ability to cooperate with us. If he can If it is strong, I am also willing to continue to cooperate with my old partner.

"You can write back to express your agreement, and let Peter and the others meet at the Major's Territory ten days later. There is a sea area between us and the Major's Territory, and the bandits can rush up there in half a day. Ten days is enough to make those untouchables I made a few back and forth calls."

The strong man who had figured out what was going on immediately put on a respectful expression.

"My lord is wise, as long as the word is released, the group of wild warriors in the city who have no ability but like to cause trouble will definitely run there. Without these guys, the law and order in the city will improve, and the merchants don't have to worry about it. "

"Hehe, that's not counting, you tell them that as long as they loot the imperial weapons, the city lord will buy them at a high price, and at the same time, you send people to pay attention to these rogues to see if there are any talents.

"You must know that outstanding talents will only appear in war. Once you find them, immediately recruit them back, so that my family will be stronger!"

"Yes, my lord is wise, and I obey." The strong man bowed to the city lord with reverence and bid farewell.

Looking at the back of the strong man leaving, the city lord smiled.

"Hehe, Peter, Kate, although I have made a lot of money from you, don't blame me for selling you out. Who told your opponents to give me more benefits than you? What is reputation? Everything It's all for profit!"

As the order was conveyed, the towns around Mingyue City immediately boiled up. Countless thin, barefoot people holding bamboo spears or a dilapidated sword with glowing eyes rushed out of the huts, roaring into the crowd. Dozens of streams of people flocked to the beach.

Odie, who was rushing back with a large amount of supplies, said to Locke and Luo Fei proudly: "Aren't you surprised that the two adults agreed to our request so easily?"

Locke and Luo Fei looked at each other suspiciously, then scratched their heads at the same time.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? What kind of adults agreed to our request? Do we need other people's consent when we come to the city to buy things?"

Hearing this, Odie patted his forehead and lamented: "My God! How dare you come out with me, and you don't even know what you are going to do? I am so pissed off by you!"

Odie was completely speechless. When he went out a few days ago, he told them the situation and asked them to wake up and pay attention, but they thought they were here to buy something.

Alas, it's better not to let them get in touch with other things in the future. They are only suitable for fighting on the battlefield, and they are not suitable for being bodyguards at all!
Odie threw the two idiots aside, and said to the specially selected civilian guards he had brought, "Do you know what's going on?"

The few people who were laughing because of the stupidity of Locke and Luo Fei immediately began to think.

Of course they know that Odie is the most important member of Mr. Zhao Hu's command. It can be said that a large part of their future is in his hands, so they racked their brains for Odie's question and prepared to give this guard The boss made a good impression.

"This has something to do with us catching them?" A guard rushed to say, but he was despised as soon as he opened his mouth. For such a simple reason, would the uncle still ask?

"Is it because they found that confronting us would not be worth the loss?" A personal guard said aloud.

"I believe that the other party is a mouse-throwing weapon, and the second is that our request did not hurt them at all. At the same time, we are not sworn enemies with them, but just a conflict of interest in money." Another guard said.

The guard's words made Odie nod with a smile. This guard named Oaked is not bad.

After they gave various reasons, Odie asked again: "Then why do you think they let us join this game so easily?"

"Thinking about it, one is that the important smuggling routes are in the hands of Mr. Zhao Hu, and it will be very difficult for them to develop new routes. The other is that they believe that this kind of smuggling activities should be operated with a sum of money, so..."

The words of the guards made Odie nod, and he was very relieved.
