Chapter 464 War Level (Combined Chapter)

"This..." The guards in Rotten Town looked at each other.

They had just expressed their allegiance to the Red King, who had only stayed in the city for less than a day, and now he actually left like this, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Only Ah Chi put down the sword he held in front of his chest, leaned on the ground with the sheath, and remained silent.

"Boss," a soldier who usually had a good relationship with him stepped forward and whispered, "I have a question, I don't know if I should talk about it..."

"explain."

"Even if he is Lu Beiyou..." The soldier looked at the retreating figure below, "There is no need for us to just... right? There are many brothers down there, and maybe they won't be convinced."

He did not say the word "surrender".

"Besides, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid our Rotten Town will be ridiculed."

If Lu Beiyou captured the city alone, it would certainly make him famous if word spread... But in contrast, Rotten Town became the background. Even in the history of the swamp, this was the first time.

"That's because you don't know," Achi glanced at him, "no one will laugh at us."

"Why?" the soldier asked curiously.

"Because this has nothing to do with us in the first place - it's not that we surrender to him, but that the moment His Royal Highness the Red King enters the city, Rotten Town belongs to him, but we didn't know it at that time."

"What do you mean..." The soldier became increasingly confused.

Seeing the still incomprehensible expressions of the soldiers, and even others approaching him, Achi suddenly remembered something that the high-spirited leader in the past accidentally mentioned to him after drinking.

So, he slowly spoke——

many years ago.

Just when Big Harsh had just become the king of the swamp through the alliance, established the Stoke tribe, and was in the limelight for a while, a news suddenly came from the swamp.

A large gang loyal to Daharsh was suddenly wiped out.

The guards of their town were all beheaded overnight, and their heads were piled at the city gate and built into a hill. Strangely, the residents in the city did not notice it at all.

It was like, from the beginning to the end of the battle.

They didn't even have time to sound the alarm.

Daharsh was furious.

This is undoubtedly a provocation to his new king of the swamp.

At that time, as a general under Stoker and good at search and reconnaissance, Big Green was sent to investigate, along with the newly established hound unit.

Da Gelin is worthy of her abilities.

The clues were soon found.

It is said that just the morning before the tragedy, the city received a group of bounty hunters who claimed to be here to explore and investigate the remains of the secret swamp. Because they subconsciously spent a lot of money, they were targeted by the leader of a gang. The leader found an excuse to kill them. Take action and detain everyone.

However, the leader was disappointed.

The money recovered was much less than expected. These bounty hunters did not have many treasures at all. Instead, they had many drawings with incomprehensible characters.

The leader got angry and did it in front of those people.

Burn the drawings.

As for these bounty hunters, the gang leaders are preparing to secretly execute them - they are outsiders anyway, and in their territory, such things have been done frequently in the past.

Then, the next day.

A tragedy occurred.

The entire gang was wiped out from the power structure of the swamp.

The imprisoned bounty hunters walked out of the town intact. At first, some residents thought that these people had paid the ransom for their lives, but when they came out, there seemed to be an additional leader——

A man dressed in black, with an unimpressive appearance, who looked a bit like a homeless man.

then.

Big Green led the hounds and took a shortcut to intercept them.

Having said this, Achi paused.

"Then what?" The soldier couldn't help but ask, "Big boss...Did Big Green catch these bounty hunters?"

And the leader.

This sounds inseparable from the previous massacre... Although it is a bit unbelievable to massacre the guards of a town overnight, it seems that the incident happened too long ago, and it is a bit exaggerated.

Although Da Gelin is now defeated and dead.

But since the story takes place in the past, before the Red King appeared. Then she is still the invincible existence in the hearts of these old members of the Hound Gang.

"No." Achi shook his head, "She came back alone."

Even the hound troops that went with her, the newly formed elites, disappeared without a trace.

Da Gelin secretly reported her experience to Da Harsh.

No one heard exactly what she said.

All I knew was that the furious King of the Swamp suddenly fell silent.

Then, he never mentioned the fact that one of his subordinate gangs was completely wiped out.

Even if this will seriously weaken the strength of the new tribe and damage his personal prestige.

And Da Gelin's weapons.

Since then, it has suddenly been replaced by a nine-ring knife.

It is said that the bounty hunter leader also used such a weapon.

This matter was about to be forgotten.

It wasn't until the Hound Gang was established and Da Gelin became the new overlord of the swamp that Achi overheard the follow-up from her mouth.

"That's war grade...I saw war grade." The woman said.

"A war-level weapon that can form an army by one person and destroy a city by one person..."

At this point, Ah Chi's calm voice finally revealed a trace of emotion, with trembling - because in his memory, that was the first time he saw Da Gelin with such fear and fanaticism, and now thinking about it, it still makes people tremble.

I'm afraid that it started from the moment this hound saw that person.

Becoming the king of the swamp and becoming a war-level has become her lifelong pursuit.

"War-level..." The guards were stunned.

Of course, they are not unfamiliar with this title, but it sounds too far away.

Not to mention the swamp, even in the entire continent, the number of war-levels is rare, and each one is famous.

It's just unexpected.

Da Gelin has met such a person once.

But who is that?

"Those bounty hunters..." Someone whispered, but he had already felt it in his heart.

"You should be familiar with it." Ah Chi looked around, "During the reign of the big boss, the only foreign force allowed to enter the swamp-this is the new rule after that incident."

"Technology hunter."

Everyone was speechless.

"The leader who led them at that time was actually well-known in the outside world. He even won the title of warrior in the Kingdom of Shek. It is said that he was the first in history-" He said slowly, "Sword Saint, Alke."

When he said this name, Achi couldn't help but sigh.

If the swamp had been more informed, the tragedy might not have happened.

The most unlucky one was the leader of the gang that was destroyed.

Because of his subordinates' momentary mistake.

He lost his life and all his foundation--

Of course, if the gang he ruled was not of this character, he could not be said to be innocent, but just happened to offend the wrong person.

"Big Green said that if the technology hunters had never participated in local hegemony, Alke would also like to travel around... Otherwise, Dahashi would not be able to sit in the position of the king of the swamp."

Although he didn't sit in peace in the end.

"War level... Alke..." The personal soldier murmured.

If the legion level means that they have the ability to command a legion, or establish a small force alone, this still needs to rely on collective strength, or can be replaced.

Then, the war level is another level of qualitative change.

One man is an army.

This is not due to their status, but from pure strength.

There is a clear distinction between war-class and army.

Even in the struggle for hegemony among the three major countries on the continent, the number of war-class can once affect the balance of their combat power.

Every additional war-class.

Even if it is just one person, the country is equivalent to having an additional full-strength army and a front.

Such an advantage cannot be easily eliminated.

The poet Bud said that wherever the war-class goes, war will be ignited - this is of course an exaggerated and romantic statement, but it is somewhat distorted.

The actual situation is.

The fight between war-class is equivalent to a war!

The result of victory or defeat can even be used as a bargaining chip on the negotiation table between the two countries.

The reason why the technology hunters have risen so rapidly in recent years is not only because they are backed by mechanics and have advanced equipment support - this also happened in the past.

The most direct factor is.

They finally have a war-class technology hunter.

Therefore, they have the confidence to expand positively and establish strongholds at will - at least they don't have to worry about other wild monster forces with war-level strongmen extorting and attacking. After all, you can attack me, then I can also attack you.

In terms of background, the technology hunters are never inferior.

"But, this has nothing to do with..." The personal soldier was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly realized the topic they started with.

He wanted to say, what does this have to do with Lu Beiyou.

However, after listening to A Chi's words and seeing the expressions of people around him who had already understood, the personal soldier finally understood -

"Boss, you mean..." His voice also trembled, "The Red King is also a war-level."

A Chi sighed:

"It's not that we surrendered to him, but that he conquered this place."

Perhaps, if the Rotten Town had closed its doors from the beginning, relying on the strong city and crossbows to resist Lu Beiyou in the posture of facing an army, there would still be the possibility of fighting with him - the guards should also be prepared for casualties in a deadly battle.

And this is still against one person.

However, when Lu Beiyou walked into the Rotten Town...

With the strength of the defenders here, even if they really accepted the conditions of the Black Dragon Ninja and surrendered to the border, they had no room to resist when facing a war-level warrior with all their strength, otherwise they would just die in vain.

"So," Achi smiled and patted his personal soldier on the shoulder, "Kaesong... It's not shameful to lose to a war-level warrior."

Who dares to laugh at them.

If you have the ability, try it yourself first.

"What's more, don't you realize one thing?" He stretched his waist in a relaxed manner, "He is now the king of our swamp."

The swamp's own war-level.

Even if the Sword Saint Alc enters the swamp again, it is impossible to force all the big leaders to keep silent or even tremble in fear like in the past.

The power of the entire swamp seems to have declined.

But as long as he is there, there will be another army out of thin air.

This is where Achi is really relieved.

They can completely survive this relatively weak period.

"So, we are safe?" The guards in Rotten Town also realized this and were overjoyed.

As a city sandwiched between the swamps and the frontier.

No matter which side you fall on, it means that a war will break out in Rotten Town - the only difference is that the attackers are different.

The city lords of their own city chose the Red King, and what they were worried about was when the support from the coalition forces would arrive. After all, the road conditions in the swamp are indeed complicated, and both the movement of troops and the transportation of supplies are very slow. However, the Sand King's troops marching in the wasteland may approach the city at any time.

But now, if the other party learns about the Red King's strength.

No matter what, I dare not launch an attack easily.

Everyone in Rotten Town is not afraid of fighting.

But who doesn’t like stability and peace?

"That's possible." Although Achi said this, there was a smile on his face, obviously very relaxed, "After all, I don't know this information yet."

Others nodded.

Rotten Town, which is located in the swamp, only had a partial understanding of the Red King before today. After all, they knew that Lu Beiyou defeated Da Gelin, but they didn't know how strong it was. They could only guess from rumors. ——And this is the most unreliable.

Until you see it with your own eyes.

Achi's knowledge was much higher than that of ordinary people, which gave them reassurance.

Having followed Da Gelin in the past and knowing her aspirations, he could naturally tell the difference between a war-level person and a top-notch legion level person - at least, Lu Beiyou's performance was something that the hound in the past could not do.

As for the sand bandits.

The corner of Achi's mouth raised, but it was a joke.

If it is true, as Bozan revealed, that the King of Sand intends to invade the swamp, then his vanguard should have already rushed here to respond to the Black Dragon Ninja's attempt to persuade them to surrender or seize the city - there is no way to retreat now.

Even if there is a mole in Rotten Town.

It was too late to report the news.

He saw with his own eyes that His Highness the Red King came out of the north gate - from there, as long as he passed through the gradually sparse jungle, he could go straight to the wilderness of the border land outside.

What to do is self-evident.

After hearing what he meant, chatter and laughter spread throughout the city. For the first time, the guards in Rotten Town relaxed from the bottom of their hearts, relieved of the fatigue of many days of training and vigilance.

This is a sense of security that cannot be faked.

"But, boss..." The only one who is still a little worried is still the soldier - but this time, he is worried about something else, "Our Red King, will everything be okay?"

As he spoke, he changed his mind.

He has also seen a lot of corpses of black dragon ninjas killed by Lu Beiyou, which is shocking... However, from his understanding, people are still mortal bodies after all, and the large army of sand bandits are not as strange as the black dragon ninjas. They are good at frontal combat and have more people.

With more weapons and more lives, can you kill faster than I can?

There is always someone who slips through the net to make up for the damage.

Even though he had heard Achi's war-level deeds, he still couldn't believe it.

The other guards nodded.

"You forgot one thing," Achi showed a playful smile, but he was actually surprised in his heart. He couldn't hold it back when he said this, "His Royal Highness, the Red King, when dealing with those Black Dragon Ninjas, He didn't touch his long knife."

And after the Iron Dome battle.

Even if the rumors are false, everyone knows:

This king of the swamp is actually best at swordsmanship.

Hearing this, the guards realized it and took a breath of cold air.

Even his best martial arts hadn't been used yet... Only then did they truly realize what had happened before, and who they would be enemies with if Rotten Town fell to the Black Dragon Ninja in advance.

At that time, the envoy who entered the city might not be a pleasant person. He even delivered supplies to the residents.

Thinking of that heavy and slender sword——

They all felt their necks were heavy and a little chilly.

Why did the temperature in the swamp suddenly drop a few degrees...

Seeing the reaction of his men, Achi was very satisfied.

Just, inside.

He couldn't help but think...

Just using his bare hands, he showed war-level characteristics...

Their Red King.

I'm afraid it's not comparable to ordinary war-level ones.

But further up, at his own level, it is completely impossible to accurately judge or even make some guesses.

Ignorance is bliss.

It's better not to say this.
