Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Jenada's frightened look made "Number Four" confused and puzzled.

But no matter how she asked the reason, Jenada just shook her head and said nothing.

The train picked up speed again and headed resolutely towards the valley ahead.

In this valley, the left and right sides of the railway are surrounded by Gobi Desert and cliffs covered with dead grass.

There were two groups of people who did not hide their figures and stood openly on the high ground on both sides.

Below and to the side of them, near the railway, there were two other groups confronting each other across the railway.

"coming."

"No slowdown?"

“That’s quite a guts.”

One of the groups in the standoff noticed the approach of the train. They were the "local" monster users mentioned by Jenada, actually a group of bandits who made a living by looting.

This area is a place of poverty, wilderness and extremely poor geographical environment, which has made it a lawless zone that neither the Empire nor the Federation is able to develop and rule.

Therefore, the folk customs here are extremely "simple and honest", which gave rise to countless robber gangs of all sizes.

The robbers who are now standing by the railway and confronting the people from the Fiery Sun Church opposite are a team composed of three robber gangs.

They relied on their large numbers and the church's power could not penetrate into this area, so they didn't even want to give face to Lieyang.

Besides, they may not take action yet. Aren’t there two teams above them who are eyeing them covetously?
"Leave! That's the train our distinguished guests from Lieyang are riding on. We won't allow you to disturb us!"

A bishop in Lieyang's team started to shout, but all he got in return was a playful smile from the robbers, who didn't move an inch.

Seeing that the train was getting closer and closer, and there were two groups of guys with stronger overall strength on the high ground, the bishop of the Lieyang team became increasingly anxious.

If Jenata had taken the "guest" off the train, then things would be easy. If not...

The bishop was given a death order by his superiors. He must stop these people from disturbing their "God of Wealth"!
This is also the first "investor" who visited Lieyang after he revealed his intention to establish a country. If Lieyang cannot even guarantee the safety of this "investor", his reputation will be ruined!

Just when the bishop had almost made up his mind and was ready to resort to force.

A hand stretched out from the window of a carriage at the front of the train.

Ripples of silvery light continued to spread out around the hand, and then one black gun muzzle after another stretched out from the ripples.

The deadly murderous intent that permeated from their caliber and number made these local robbers stiffen their bodies and widen their eyes one after another.

The hand waved upwards, and the muzzles of the guns slowly rose up and pointed at the two teams on the high ground on both sides.

The guys from the Federation immediately pushed down their hats and dodged away from the train, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The monster masters of the Withered Garden were in much the same situation, and soon only the two sisters, Withering and Death, were left standing there with unwilling looks on their faces.

Relying on their powerful strength as high-level monster masters and their purpose not to cause trouble for Ye He, they wanted to continue to kill Hera.

It’s a pity that they didn’t know that Hera spent a whole day and night taking care of Ye He until he felt comfortable.

In order to have a pleasant journey ahead, Ye He will not easily abandon this capable woman.

The hand that stretched out from the car window was waved down gently.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"

Fire and smoke burst out of all the gun muzzles, and a roar that shook the sky was heard.

The artillery shells and missiles, which could almost be described as "pouring", fell on the high ground where the Withered and Decayed Sisters were standing in an instant, causing endless explosions at this location.

When the smoke and dust were blown away by the gust of air from the passing train, what was exposed to people's eyes was a bomb crater that had become a low-lying area. There was no high ground at all.

The robber gang and the people from the Fiery Sun Church were stunned at the same time. This was the first time they had witnessed such destructive power that could move mountains and break rocks with ease.

Looking at the crater, Hera also showed a happy smile on her face.

She hugged Ye He's arm tightly and looked at this happy man with fiery eyes.

If they hadn't just gotten dressed, Hera would have had to work on her throat again.

"Don't be too happy, they are fine and they are still here."

Ye He easily dealt a blow to Hera's pride, causing the smile on Hera's face to freeze.

But she quickly continued to smile.

Let the Withering and Decaying sisters come up, she knows that unless the sisters can replace her position as "Ye He's pillow companion", they will not pose a threat to her.

Seeing that the train was about to arrive, the muzzles of those terrible guns were lowered, and many robbers immediately retreated.

Only one unwilling robber leader asked the people from Lieyang who were beginning to relax:
"Who on earth is that person in the car?!"

Bishop Lieyang, who was leading the team, glanced at him, a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on his face, and he retaliated against these robbers.

Fortunately, their first investor was Ye He, which suddenly relieved a lot of their pressure.

"Silver ripples, artillery, explosions... Could it be Father Destruction, Ye He?!"

"This is the car coming from Laurent's side. It's possible that Father Doom is actually in the car!"

There were also some knowledgeable people among the robbers. Some of them recognized Ye He’s iconic weapon, which made more people retreat even more loudly.

The hand that stretched out from the car window suddenly moved. At this moment, many robbers turned around immediately!
They left the spot without looking back, not daring to continue attacking the train.

The train finally arrived, and the gun muzzles were retracted into the silver ripples, which also disappeared into the air.

Only three or two leader-level robbers, after a brief calculation, suddenly boldly jumped onto the train.

The people on Lieyang's side had their vision blocked by the train. When the train passed, they saw that there was no one on the other side and thought that all the robbers had been scared away by Ye He.

"The blazing sun's divine glory is with us, and with the distinguished guests in the car..."

Bishop Lieyang, who stayed behind, muttered something mysteriously, then evacuated with his clergy.

He didn't realize that he had "dereliction of duty" at all. There were actually robbers who were bold enough to get on the train to "disturb" Yehe under such circumstances.

Fortunately, this was also the result Ye He wanted. According to his instructions to Jenada, his will had been conveyed to the crew members on the entire train.

Soon, a conductor came to the carriage at the rear end of the train. He pushed the door open and saw a pair of women whose bodies were still charred and still emitting black smoke.

Further at the end, two men were confronting another man across the aisle.

"Everyone, Mr. Ye He asks you to go to the front. He wants to see you."

The arrival of the flight attendant immediately attracted everyone's attention, and he conveyed Yehe's will in a dignified manner.

After a brief silence, these people stood up and followed the conductor. After crossing one empty carriage after another, the robber leaders couldn't help but look at him subtly.

There are no other passengers on this train?
Even if Ye He was not there, they would not get any benefit if they successfully robbed the train.

In a carriage near the front of the train, these people finally saw Ye He who was drinking tea with Hera and Jenada.

The eyes of several robber leaders flickered, and the sisters Withering and Atrophy immediately set their sights on Hera.

Compared with Hera, who had a ruddy face, brightly dressed, and seemed to be a dozen years younger, they were burned black by the explosion of Yehe and almost lost their lives. The gap was indeed quite big.

Damn slut!
Seeing their enemy enjoying themselves was more uncomfortable for the two sisters than being bombarded by artillery shells. They had a hard time suppressing the urge to attack Hera directly.

"What's wrong with you...?"

Ye Hete drank the coffee in the quilt before turning back to question the three robber leaders.

He had discovered that the three men belonged to different gangs, but two of them were truly allied, and the other was independent.

But when facing Ye He's questioning, they stood together tacitly again.

"You... ahem, you are Mr. Ye He..."

A bearded robber leader spoke up. Years of lawless life had almost made him unable to use honorifics.

"I'm."

To Ye He, these people were just a pastime for him to kill time, so he responded to the bearded man very kindly.

"I... um... we have heard about your deeds. You are a truly powerful man, and also... very rich?"

"Yeah, so?"

Ye He narrowed his eyes slightly. He probably guessed what these people meant.

"I...uh, I mean we...we want to follow you."

"Yes, we want to be your subordinates!"

"Yes, if we follow you, you will definitely help us make a lot of money!"

really!

These robber leaders bravely got on the car because they came to Yehe to surrender and wanted to really "get on the car".

"Oh?"

Ye He put his hand on Hera's thigh, feeling the friction between the skirt and stockings, and began to think.

These people...to be honest, Ye He doesn't want to accept them, but maybe they can bring him different kinds of fun?

The scenery outside the train window began to open up, and after leaving the valley, the train officially entered the wasteland area in the northwest of the central part of the continent.

More than a thousand kilometers to the northwest is the desert that is said to be a place of no return.

The attire of these robber leaders and the environment of this wasteland area made Ye He think of a word: cowboy!
The customs of this area are just as depicted in western movies. Perhaps, this place can bring extra surprises and circumstances to Yehe?

After all, according to the plan, the train had to travel across this vast wasteland for several days, stopping at one or two towns that barely had stations along the way.

In this case, it seems like a good idea to recruit a few "locals" as guides?

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange a seat for you in the back carriage. Whether you can let me help you get rich, enjoy wealth, beauties, and a wonderful life depends on your performance in the next few days."

"Yes!"

"We will definitely perform well!"

There was no need to say any more nonsense. Ye He waved his hand and the flight attendant who brought them here took them back the same way they came.

Only the sisters Wither and Wither were left in the carriage, and Ye He's gaze fell on them.

He pointed to the table next to him and snapped his fingers. A flight attendant came over and asked the two sisters to sit there. He also gave them clean wet towels and food.

"I'm very curious, how did the feud between you "Flower" and "Wither" come about, and how did it accumulate to this extent?"

Ye He's eyes moved back and forth between Hera and the two sisters.

Logically speaking, they have both reached such a high level of strength, and they should seek common ground while reserving differences and develop together. This is what the two organizations should do. Why would they fight to the death?

The sisters Wither and Perish fell silent. They were cleaning the dust off their faces with towels and were unable to answer Ye He's questions.

Because they don’t actually know the reason.

Hera glanced at the sisters with a rare complex look without hatred, and then said to Ye He:
"I'm afraid this question has to be traced back to several hundred years ago, when neither the Empire nor the Federation was established."

"Oh? It's okay. The last thing we lack is time. Just take your time."

Ye He's face showed an excited expression. He never thought that the feud between the organization and these two monsters would last for hundreds of years.

According to Hera's explanation, Ye He finally understood the reason:

It turns out that their ancestor, the founder of the two major monster-using organizations, is actually the same person.

This was a prince who, in that era of war among many nations, was striving for supremacy and devoted himself to studying.

He dug out some remains of the Goddess of Life from the ruins left over from a previous era, and used these documents to develop a school of thought.

This is the predecessor of the Flower Garden: the Sect of Life.

This sect still exists in the Federation, but that is not the point. The point is that based on the research of this school, the prince developed the Hera line of monster master inheritance.

He loves roses very much, therefore, he is also known as the "Rose Master".

But the power of the School of Life cannot allow the prince to solve the ultimate false proposition of mankind: how to achieve immortality.

One day in his later years, he suddenly decided to reverse his research and instead explore the topic of monsters in the direction of "withering" and "death".

This is how the Withered Garden was born.

“No one knows whether the Grand Master Rose succeeded in achieving immortality in the end, but his last order was to ask his followers and successors in the Withered Garden at that time to “bring a natural end to life through death.”

At this point, Hera showed Ye He a helpless smile:

"Didn't expect that? The feud between our two organizations started because of a word from our co-founder.

Over the past few hundred years, neither of us has been able to completely defeat the other, and in the end, we have reached the situation you see now."
