Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"The nameless one?" Caesar snorted.

As the guard of Scone and a participant in the Battle of Long Street, he certainly knew about this titled warrior who killed the Flying Bull and helped the Shark Kingdom annihilate the Chosen of Krall.

However, the other party is a human being.

As an old-school Shaq guy, Caesar naturally didn't have any undue fondness for him... although he didn't have any bad feelings either.

Even though he has done so many things, he is still just a junior after all.

An old general like Caesar, who had experienced three kings, could not afford to worry about him.

In contrast, the recent changes in the border areas made him more concerned.

"Don't underestimate him." Tie Luo couldn't help but argue after hearing the other party's indifferent tone.

The person that Bayan favors, and the death order given by the Stone Demon Queen...he is tied to the same rope as the other person.

"If it weren't for him to reopen the grain road, you don't know how many soldiers in Scone Town would be hungry."

"I admit this." Nishizawa said calmly, "But this is originally Bayan's responsibility. He has promised that - as the chief adviser, if we can't even supply military rations, what use do we need him? Don't even think about borrowing money from him. A flat-skinned person will have nothing to do with it.”

He casually put the Nameless One and Bayan together.

"What's more, you are talking about the past. Now as more and more new people are absorbed, this season's land reclamation has not yet yielded results. The food gap is getting bigger and bigger. The previous rice is simply not enough."

Tie Luo had no way to refute.

They previously purchased food from some villages on the outskirts of the swamp, and domestic production could barely maintain a balance between supply and demand. During this period, foreign trade was temporarily interrupted but then resumed by the unknown.

But the situation is evolving.

Especially the intense fighting in the Spider Plains consumed a lot of supplies.

Gradually, the existing supply of grain roads was insufficient.

"However, for an ordinary titled warrior, the Nameless One has done well enough and cannot ask for more. In the end, we still have to solve this problem ourselves." Tie Luo thought to himself, "The more important thing now is... "

Little princess question.

Not long ago, a messenger in the swamp arrived at the border post of the Shark Kingdom in advance, traveling lightly.

Have someone come to Scone Town to meet you.

It looked like there was a large army with no other intention than escorting the princess.

However, Tie Luo will definitely not disclose the specific matters to others.

It's best to just suppress it without anyone noticing.

"I won't argue with you. There is one question. They said they would come back from the north... isn't that the border land? What do you think, Caesar?"

Tie Luo asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Caesar's mouth twitched as if he had eaten a fly:

"...Probably because of the speed."

The straight-line distance between two points is the shortest, but when walking in the swamp, a large-scale army might as well detour through the border wilderness.

"The Nameless One is quite adventurous." Tie Luo held up the city wall.

What risk should we take... Caesar thought of the military situation that was pressing down on him in his office.

His face became even more ugly.

He is still investigating the specific situation, but what is certain is that the bandits' army that attacked the swamp was repelled, and they strangely shrank their range of activities, as if they were frightened.

Even north of Scone, there are almost no new sand bandits.

The Ember Order's operations to deal with the hungry people went much more smoothly.

It's hard to say about other places. At least at the junction of the swamp and the borderland, it is safer than ever... The nameless person mentioned by the other party would really get a big deal if he came back at this time and took this road.

Such changes are of course good news for Scone.

But for Nishizawa, who had fought against the Sand Bandits...

There is no doubt that it is a bit of a slap in the face.

"Here we come." Shaq's scout reported.

Tie Luo perked up, went downstairs, and headed straight out of the city.

Nishizawa was a little indifferent at first, but soon, as that team appeared in his field of vision, the expressions of the five Shaq people also changed.

It was not the messenger or envoy he thought it was.

But a caravan.

It is even ten times larger than any previous merchant guild that came to the Kingdom of Shake.

The beast of burden screamed, and Ah Li, who was wearing a linen outfit, lifted the curtain on the trailer.

The cloth bag formed into a hill was exposed, and the golden rice paddy leaking from the mouth of the cloth bag revealed the identity of the cargo——

food.

Such trailers are connected one after another. From a distance, they look like a long dragon, so vast that even the dust in the sky cannot cover it.

"What's going on?" Caesar murmured.

Just by visual inspection, the weight of this batch alone can not only fill the current food gap of the Shark Kingdom, but can even be used as military food reserves.

After the failure of the previous expedition, he had not thought about gathering the army again and sending troops to the border areas to avenge his previous shame.

However, with their production situation, it is already difficult to support the Spider Plains front at the rear.

In the direction of Scone Town, it is best to rely on the Lijian City and remain on the defensive whether facing the Holy Kingdom or the Sand Bandits.

After eating this batch of military rations, you will have more initiative.

However, if all the rice is purchased...Skun Town does not have enough currency reserves, so it can only seek support from Admark or barter.

Ancient memories revived in Caesar's mind.

He thought:

How about simply sending troops to rob this food team, just like what the Shaq Kingdom did in the past, and doing business without capital.

However, Caesar quickly calmed down.

He saw Tie Luo rushing towards these people——

This is the team from the swamp that the opponent is waiting for.

Of course Tie Luo was also surprised by the scene in front of him, but these five people had more important things at the moment.

After simply confirming your identity,

He passed the trailers, his eyes scanning rapidly, without even having time to say hello, looking for possible targets.

Finally, he saw a closed caravan in the middle of the line.

There are also warriors from the Skeleton Corps guarding the area.

That should be it.

Tie Luo strode forward and opened the car door directly:

"Seto..."

Before the words 'my good niece' could be uttered, the five people were stunned.

——Who are you?

Inside, special envoy Pompeo, who had a sprain in walking and could only stay in the car, was a little surprised to see Tieluo, but he was mostly happy:

"Oh, General Bloodaxe, it's an honor for you to come and greet me personally..."

"Stop talking nonsense, where is Seto?"

"As expected, you also know!" Pompeo became more certain of his thoughts and decided to analyze the new changes in the kingdom's political situation to his general Segu when he returned. But before that, he had one more thing to do.

"Since the general is here, I'll leave it to you."

He took out a piece of hemp letterhead and handed it over with a bow: "This is a letter written by His Highness Seto..."

Hearing the news, Tie Luo felt happy.

——The Nameless One really found her?

But why didn't she follow back...

He ignored the small details and directly grabbed the letter and opened it. He skipped a long section of greetings and situation introduction starting with "Mother, Teacher" and directly read the key information and scanned to the end.

Then he froze.

[...By the way, the Nameless One is very kind to me. I have officially become my disciple, and he is now very powerful. But my practice is not over yet, and I will not go home for the time being - I was already satisfied with the current situation, but later I realized: when a person has seen scenery that he has never imagined before, and finds that this road is She spread her feet forward... If she turned back like this now, she would not be willing to do so.

Sorry, don’t read it.

By the way, Master said that if I really don’t want to go back for the time being, I have to give you some evidence to reassure you, to prove that it’s me. I asked him what it was, and he said, like a part of the body...

So, this is a scale I just shed~

please check.

——Seto. 】

Tie Luo turned over the envelope, and sure enough, a piece of smooth scale armor fell out, with horny lines.

In fact, even without this evidence, Tie Luo knew that it was him who wrote the letter: the handwriting was consistent, and with the temperament of the little princess, she would not be coerced into writing such a thing, but...

"Fuck!" Tie Luo slapped the entire letter directly on the bottom of the car.

The whole caravan shook, and Pompey cowered in fear.

But soon, Tie Luo picked up the letter with an expressionless expression, folded it neatly and put it into the envelope - this thing had to be shown to the two of them. No matter what, it was enough that the princess was fine for now, and that was his original psychological expectation.

As for the rest, it's all trivial.

And the inexplicable sorrow and anger that really surged in the heart of General Shaq was:

Baby... weren't you really kidnapped?

Tie Luo felt that the suggestion of the unknown person in the letter... looked like a kidnapper sending a blackmail letter to his home, preparing for a lion's opening.
