Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 454 Visitors from Rotten Town
Rottown is located between the Borderlands and Shem.

It can be said that it is the outermost one among all the large towns in the swamp.

Even the remote Skinning Town is closer to Shark Village in a straight line.

Being far away from the center of the swamp, far away from the prosperous internal trade... also means that in the past, the status of Rotten Town was always at most a vassal of others, like a dispensable satellite city.

This is true for all local gangs, large and small.

Even if it could emit light, it would be like a meteor passing by, and it would soon be annexed by the big faction in Shark Village.

It’s just that he is from Rotten Town.

But he often becomes a ruthless character in the eyes of people from other regions.

This may be due to its poor living environment - as can be seen from the name of the town, even if it is placed in a swamp, the natural environment around Rotten Town is even worse: black marshes are everywhere and miasma is rampant.

The only industry is to produce the lowest cost-effective stone.

The masons had to brave the miasma and heavy rain to go to a nearby mountain range, quarry and cut the rock into usable stone bricks, and then use manpower to carry them back in the absence of pack animals... You can imagine how hard it was.

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.

If you want to climb out of it, you can only do your best.

For this reason, although the major gangs do not want to see Rotten Town, they are quite interested in absorbing the talents here - and Rotten Town has lost more and more young people because of this, and has less and less hope of rising.

This situation was not changed until someone came out of Rotten Town.

She trekked through the swamp, walked out of her hometown, and joined the prosperous Stoke tribe.

Soon after, he was known as "The Hound."

And those Rotten Town people who followed her became the prototype of the original Hound Gang.

When Da Gelin became the overlord of Shark Village, she did not choose to accept Da Heimei's flattery and share Mud Town with him, a place where money was exchanged for money and wealth, but she insisted on placing her headquarters in Rotten Town. And regardless of Iers's objections, they used manpower to prospect, and finally discovered another copper-iron mining area on the east side of Rotten Town, at the border of the swamp and Shem. Although it was far away from the center of Rotten Town, it at least alleviated part of the problem. The plight of the townspeople.

Afterwards, even Iles had to admit it.

This move was also extremely important for the consolidation of Big Green's position in Shark Village: seeing the importance she attached to Rotten Town, some merchants and smugglers spontaneously linked Shark Village with it, and while reaping profits, they also and the industries of Rotting Town and Shark Village complement each other, which greatly improves the armament level of the Hound Gang, and indirectly attacks Skinning Town, a competitor that also produces iron. Leather Armor continues to maintain its advantage; Rotten Town has thus become the most solid foundation of the Hound Gang.

As for rejecting big black eyebrows.

Now it seems to be even more wise, otherwise most of the strength is in the enemy's hometown of Ni Town, and they may become turtles in the urn.

pity……

A Chi on the top of the city sighed.

"Chief Chi doesn't have to be like this," said a masked man in black beside him. "Rotten Town is far away from Shark Village after all. Even if we rushed there, it would be too late."

"I told you, there's no need to call me leader. I never thought of inheriting her position..." Achi held on to the solid battlements and looked into the distance, but his sight was completely blocked by giant trees and misty miasma, and he didn't know where he was. What to look at, "Besides, the Hound Gang has been disbanded."

News of the Battle of Iron Dome arrives.

Achi sat in silence at the headquarters all night and made the decision the next day.

"That's fine," the man in black shrugged, "but I'll call you City Lord Chi... there's nothing wrong with that."

Achi didn't refute.

Even if the Hound Gang is gone, the status of the people inside will not change.

Today's Rotten Town is still under their jurisdiction.

"I'm just thinking that Da Gelin may have really done something wrong." He suddenly said, "No matter how you run Rotten Town, it's okay when it's prosperous, and everyone will count it as your strength... But when it comes to real things, All of a sudden, these investments were wasted.”

From Rotten Town to Shark Village.

It's almost equivalent to crossing half of the swamp. When Ah Chi learned about the news about Iron Dome, although the shocking things on the letter read as if they had just happened, he knew that the messenger from the Hound Gang had been on the road for more than a month and only had time to make it to Rotten Town. Outside the city wall, he fell unconscious and fell to the ground.

Even for a moment, the winner of Shark Village was not yet firmly established.

There is nothing they can do about it.

Now everything has been settled - and as expected, letters of surrender signed "Beiyou" soon followed.

There is no need for the coalition forces to hide.

If he hadn't rested normally, he might have been able to catch up with the hound who reported the news.

"I don't know whether Your Excellency Da Gelin is wrong," the man in black said leisurely, "But maybe you, the whole swamp, are wrong?"

Achi glanced at him.

The other party covered his face, and you could only see a hint of cunning in his exposed eyes.

Achi: "Are you talking about the thing you mentioned before?"

"Yes, City Lord Chi." The man in black lowered his head, "Perhaps Rotten Town should not belong to the swamp."

"Instead, it's time to join the Borderlands."

"Although we are almost the same in terms of distance, the difficulty of traveling on the road is not at the same level - Shark Village is located in the center of the swamp, and Daze is densely covered with jungles. Starting from Rotten Town, let alone marching, even if the native swamp people are experienced Under the leadership of a team leader, you may lose your way;"

"On the other hand, the journey from here to the border is the transition period to the arid zone. No matter how heavy the heavy rain penetrates into the gravel, it will disappear without a trace. The rainforest gradually becomes sparse along the way. Even without the need for a guide, you can easily reach here... "The man in black pointed at himself, "Isn't it better for me to see City Lord Chi earlier than those messengers who persuaded me to surrender?"

"No matter how you look at it, Rotten Town's relationship can be closer to the outside world."

"You are right." Achi responded without nodding, "But from another perspective, Rotten Town is also the gateway to the swamp."

"The origin of the name Border Land...isn't it because the Three Kingdoms are in constant disputes and wars here?" He pointed to the city wall at his feet. It was as tall as a giant tree, but its width allowed cattle to walk side by side. Every stone brick was covered with bricks. Traces etched by wind and rain, "and in order to resist the bandits from the outside world, Rotten Town was established."

Compared to the war in the border areas.

Even the swamp is considered peaceful.

Even if it is more convenient to travel from Rotten Town to the border area, it is also convenient for defeated soldiers and refugees to attack here. The people of Rotten Town are brave and good at fighting, and this may not be without this factor - they are all forced out.

It is simply ridiculous to say that Rotten Town belongs to the border land.

The man in black heard the irony in Achi's words and was not angry. He just smiled and said, "That was before, but the border land now..."

"Boss..." A gang member in yellow clothes ran up the city wall. When he saw the man in black beside him, he hesitated for a moment and said, "An envoy from Shark Village has been sent again."

"City Lord Chi." The man in black whispered from the side.

There was a hint of warning in his tone.

"Sorry, I haven't made up my mind yet." Achi said, "They have been here so many times. Rotten Town also has its own hospitality... take me to meet them."

The second half of his sentence was addressed to the crowd.

After saying these words, Achi walked down the stairs and down the city wall, leaving only the visitors from the borderland standing on top. A breeze lifted his black clothes, revealing the shriveled skin underneath, as if he had been dehydrated by the sun for a long time.

The man in black looked down from the shooting hole in the battlement.

In the mist, a figure wearing a metal hat and a long coat could be seen faintly... It should be the so-called envoy from Shark Village.

He didn't take it seriously, nor was he angry at Achi's attitude.

After laughing pitifully for a few times, he followed them and went down to the city together.
