Chapter 1358: Great Wasteland (2)
Exiting through the canyon was the location of the great wasteland. The Great Wasteland was similar to a province of the two empires. It had developed from an inconspicuous settlement in the past until now and had long since lost its fate to the word "wasteland". There were nearly a hundred towns, more than ten large cities, and a population of 300,000. Apart from the five great figures, there were also people from the two great empires who were active in various organizations between the empire and the great wasteland. The intricate relationship of interests had created a great wasteland that was like a surging undercurrent. They could not be said in a few words.
Located at the entrance of the canyon was a town, built in the mountains and inhabited mostly by caves dug in the mountains. Over time, the houses here were mostly built in caves, and for the convenience of transportation, tunnels were opened in the mountains, thus forming a complex network. Just like other towns or cities in the wilderness, this town had as many and complex camps.
Everything from the 800-year-old grocery business to the shameful assassination of guards was involved. For the convenience of management, there were also trade unions, such as the merchant guild, the assassin guild, and so on. These unions had the shadows of some big shots in them. For example, the merchant guild was controlled by the Bone King, while the White Devil Luci and the maniac Caijasi controlled the a.s.sa.s.sin guild.
" Only the Blood Eye is declining. He can only act in his own small town. Among the five great figures, he can be considered a character who has a bad reputation. If it weren't for the fact that he has some strength to rely on, he would have been sent to Lian Wo Duan long ago." As they walked, Trisley explained the situation of the great wasteland to Alan. The two of them had already left the canyon and entered this small town with complicated streets.
As soon as they entered the small town, they heard a loud noise. Alan looked up from his hat and saw two groups of people rushing out from the corner. The battle quickly ended, and more than a dozen corpses were left on both sides before they retreated one after another. Not long after, a few Barbarians came to pull the corpses away. Nothing could be more ordinary than this. People died every day in the Great Wasteland, but the flying ships above their heads kept coming and going. There would always be fresh blood pouring into this seemingly desolate land that was filled with vitality.
"The Great Wasteland is truly an insurmountable land. Apart from the towns where the great figures are located, there is only one law in force."
Alan said on her behalf, "Strength is paramount."
"That's right, that's it." "This is the paradise of the strong. As long as you are strong enough, you can even live a more comfortable life than a king. At the same time, you are also the hell of the weak. Once you are pulled down by someone stronger, then the paradise of the past will instantly become hell," Trisley whispered.
She looked at Ellen and smiled, "If it was you, master, you would definitely be better off here than a Paragon."
"Is that so? But I'm asking for trouble."
'"Actually, I've been thinking that if Master doesn't agree to Alice's request at all, even without the support of the Lord of the Forgotten Realm, it wouldn't be difficult for you to take down the wasteland." Tracy shook her head and said, "Like I said, the two empires have to be polite to you in the wilderness. Why bother with Demonic Shadow Empire?"
'It's not all because of Alice,' said Alan coolly. 'In fact, I came to Agares to seek power. Besides my own power, I also have to have my own power. So, we're just in sync with each other. Since the two sides' goals have arrived, I'll still be able to earn money from the army that kidnapped the Realm of the Forgotten. '
Trisley opened her mouth, and Alan pulled down his hat. "Let's go to Blood Eye Town."
The woman said "hmm".
In the town, Trisley used two green crystals to buy a land vehicle with good performance. This kind of war chariot that Demonic Shadow Empire had eliminated was very popular in the wilderness. After all, it was a military vehicle used by Demonic Shadow Empire. Unless it was completely scrapped, it could still be used even after a certain period of time. The Land Car Trisley bought had only two seats. It was wide in front and sharp in the back. Using magnetic propulsion, it could travel on most terrain, and its speed wasn't slow either.
He drove the landing vehicle out of the town and followed a highway. Not long after, he arrived at Blood Eye Town, where Azes was. At the entrance to the town, Trisley stopped him unsurprisingly. Trisley asked Alan to wait inside while she jumped out of the car. She took off her hat, and the soldiers soon recognized her and called for a captain. The Baltimore became nervous when he saw Trisley's expression, and there was a look of hesitation on his face. A few seconds later, he made up his mind and shouted, "Miss Trisley, hurry up and leave. Now that the town has been taken over by the Bone King, he has heard about you. Strictly speaking, you are our enemy now."
Tracy narrowed her eyes and said, "You should be thankful that you've saved your life." Inside the cloak, the woman sheathed her ravaging fangs and continued, "What right does Zasso have to take over this town? According to the rules of the great wilderness, Azes was defeated by my master. Now, all the property of the Blood Eye should belong to my master."
"I don't know," said the captain helplessly. After a period of time, the Bone King's men arrived and claimed that Azes' territory belonged to him. The remaining few of us, as the guards of the town, barely dared to disobey Zasso's will. They still have an army stationed inside. Miss, it's better for you to leave, so as not to clash with the people from Zasuo. "
Tracy wanted to say something else, but she saw Ellen gesturing in the car. She nodded. When she got back to the car, Alan said, "It seems that the rules of the Great Wasteland are just games played by big shots."
"Bloodeye Town has fallen into the Bone King's pocket. Who should have swallowed up Luci's Fallen Hall?" Alan smiled and said, "It's my fault for not announcing my rights in time. However, my food isn't that delicious."
At noon, a hundred kilometers away from Blood Eye Town, in Gale City.
This fairly decent city was named because of the strong winds whistling in July and August every year.
An inconspicuous bar in Gale City had just opened when a land vehicle stopped at the entrance. Two people wrapped in cloaks jumped out of the car. One of them threw out two irregular pieces of gray-white metal. It was ferrochrome, a rare metal, hard currency on Agares. Of course, in terms of value, it was not comparable to green crystals, but it was more than enough for a bar to spend money and add a parking fee.
So the Barre, who had received the chrome, politely invited them into the bar, and, as they wished, found a relatively secluded corner, and brought wine and food.
Trisley took off her hat and poured Alan a cup of green wine. "Master, what's next?" She said.
Alan took a sip and the taste faded out of the water. However, the tip of his tongue gradually curled into a light fragrance. Slowly, the fragrance melted away in his mouth and became denser and denser. Apparently, the wine was much more flavorful in terms of Barre's culinary culture than it was in Lim's Restaurant.
"There's no hurry. Let's eat first. Just wait here."
"Wait?"
Ellen nodded and looked out the window. "We've already been to Blood Eye Town. If Zasso doesn't know where we are, then I think this lord's days are in vain. If you were Zasso, what would you do if you knew we were here?"
"If I knew we were just the two of us, Zasso would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to kill us. After all, this is his home ground and the situation is much better for him," Tracy thought seriously.
"That's it. I wouldn't be able to take advantage of such a huge advantage. I wouldn't be able to help it even if I were you." Alan laughed.
Gradually, the number of guests in the bar began to increase, and there were even three sexy dancers performing on the stage. Allen had to admit that the Barbarians were indeed a race rich in beauties. Of course, this was from the perspective of human aesthetics. I wonder if the Bar men also think so. Anyway, if the dancers on the stage were to be thrown onto Earth, they would definitely be dancers that were hard to buy for a thousand gold coins. However, judging from the reaction of the audience, those women were just ordinary people.
Seeing that Alan was actually staring at the woman on the stage, Trisley could not help but "snort". Alan looked at her and understood what she meant in the blink of an eye. "Don't misunderstand," he waved his hand. "I was just wondering why the Baltic genes are so special. Men don't comment. As for women, they are first-rate standards in terms of our aesthetic standards."
"What, do you want to get a few female slaves to sell?"
Ellen shook his head and smiled, "I'm not a slave dealer, I'm just casual."
At this time, two more Barbarians entered the bar. One of them was wrapped in layers of clothes, looking like a burden. He wore many accessories between his fingers, making him look like a nouveau riche. The other had a thin figure and a worried expression, as if everyone owed him a debt. After the two of them entered, they looked around and saw Alan's table. They immediately squeezed over. Seeing the two of them, Trisley's body stiffened and she was about to stand up, but she gently placed her hand on the back of Ellen's palm.
Seeing Alan shake her head, Tracy sat down and whispered, "The skinny one is Kathy, and the nouveau riche one is Rick."
"Oh, so it's them. I thought that Bone King's subordinates would find it strange that Zha Suo could casually bring out two experts. I didn't expect that they would be the other two great figures of the Great Wasteland." Alan looked at the approaching two and smiled, "I'll treat you to whatever you want."
'"How about I treat you, Dark King? As soon as you finish your meal, leave the wasteland." Kathy sat down and sighed.
Nouveau riche sat down, ordered his meal, and sighed with catherine, "could lord dark king sell us some thin noodles for you, old man? Even we know about your presence in Blood Eye Town. I'm afraid that old fellow Zasuo is already mobilizing troops to deal with you. "To be honest, your conflict is not beneficial to anyone. Lord Dark King, why don't you hide from the attack for now?"
