541 The Lord of the Wasteland (Chapter 3.15)
“What are you going to do next?” John couldn’t help asking.
in the past, john’s idea was to live a good life with his wife marsha. although the ‘unfilial son’ silver hand appeared out of nowhere, everything was still within control. However, while he was disguised as link, John had indeed come into contact with a lot of political affairs and a deep understanding of the forces in the sand City.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but John frowned when he saw it.
Although he had seen a lot of darkness and corruption when he was an assassin, John saw even more darkness and corruption after he came into contact with government affairs.
As the saying goes, after seeing the darkness, one yearns for the light even more.
When John saw the disasters suffered by the people of the wasteland and thought of the people of Shandu living and working in peace, he couldn’t help but feel that fate was unfair. Living on the same wasteland, some people were bullied, fought, and didn’t have enough food and clothes, while others could live a happy and fulfilling life every day. The only difference between them was that they were born in different places.
From then on, John felt that the ” distance ” between him and link had shortened. He could understand a lot of his actions, and at the same time, he was looking forward to it.
Link muttered to himself for a moment before picking up the contract he had just signed. this contract is the first step. The second step is to pretend to be a substitute. However, if we really want to keep Faye in our hands, we still have to rely on the performance of monster security company and sun Shu.
however, once the contract is in effect, the troops of Shandu and Dragon City can openly station themselves in the Faye territory with the excuse of resisting the dark forest. They will cooperate with the internal coaxing and suppression. There should not be any problems.
With Link’s words, John could not help but relax. Based on the current situation, it wouldn’t be long before the citizens of the freedom Federation would be able to live a simple and peaceful life. as for the places outside of the freedom federation, john wasn’t worried. Indeed, they were all second and third-rate powers. They were all vagabonds and wouldn’t be able to achieve much. Furthermore, as the freedom Federation’s living standards improved, they would lose ‘new blood’.
Just think about it, if everyone had enough food and clothes to eat and had a purpose in life, who would be so free to run to a barren land and cause trouble with those extremists? If there was no increase, then these forces would become a pool of dead water, slowly drying up. Solving the problem from the source could be done forever. It wasn’t a suppression where the east wall was destroyed to repair the west wall.
The well-trained special agents of Shatu had already repaired the post-war meeting room while the two were chatting, and no traces were left on the scene.
They were professionals in destroying corpses and erasing traces.
boss, we’ll leave first. We’ll talk after this. Ah Fu said goodbye to link reluctantly. this time, he had come to dragon city with the diplomatic mission. because of the mission, he had not had a chance to chat with link. his eyes were full of anticipation.
Fu and his men left without any hesitation, and the whole room was as if it had just been signed.
Link looked at the agent who was pretending to be Augustine and asked, what do you do after you return to Faye? have they taught you? ”
‘Augustine’ nodded repeatedly and then stated his request as if he was reporting his work, ” we’ll use the freedom Federation agreement as an excuse to start placing important people from Shatu or Dragon City in important positions, including our own people. We’ll suppress the power of the nobles of the Faye Kingdom and find a way to change the structure of the Council members of the Faye Kingdom. We’ll cooperate with the security company to rope in and promote the members of the Shatu Kingdom.
Link nodded in satisfaction. He then walked to Mad Lion and patted him on the shoulder,”Berserk Lion, when we reach farnight, I’ll leave the job of protecting him to you.”
Kuang Shi patted his chest,”Lord, please rest assured, with me here, I will definitely protect him!.”
if both of them had used agents before, although they could also carry out missions, they would be easily exposed if they did not have enough self-protection. Rondor himself was a high-end combat force of Faye. He was very strong. Ordinary agents would be exposed if they showed their skills. Thus, this person had to have similar strength, carry out a mission, and protect ” Augustine.
Rondor was a gunner. Among Link’s high-end combat forces, only Mad Lion had a similar profession.
In addition, the two of them had similar personalities. They were both ruthless and quiet, so they were the most suitable for carrying out missions.
link pointed at the door of the secret meeting room. ” “Once the door is opened, you will no longer be yourself. You will become the number one Guardsman of Faye, Rondo, and you will be the head of Faye.”
Mad Lion and the agent cupped their fists and nodded, their eyes firm as they said, ” “No regrets even if I die ten thousand times!”
“I didn’t send you on a mission to die. You don’t have to be so generous. The security company and the special agents in shadu will provide you with help. If you’re really on the verge of being exposed, ask for help and retreat in time. Don’t take the risk alone!”
Link’s words touched Mad Lion and the agent. As the saying went, ” a man will die for his friend. right now, the two of them had the urge to do so.
They gathered in front of the door. Link, John, and silver hand all put on their disguises. Link pushed open the heavy lead door.
The entourage who had been waiting outside for a long time heard the door open and all went up excitedly to welcome him.
Although they didn’t know what was going on inside, the situation outside could be described as daggers drawn. The guards of the three families ‘leaders were secretly fighting with each other to occupy better positions. They wanted to meet their leaders as soon as the meeting was over.
The hearts of the members of shadu and Dragon City were as clear as a mirror. They had joined forces to play with the people of the French night emissaries, making the guards of the French night extremely nervous.
After the door of the secret meeting room was opened, the first person to appear was link, who was disguised as ” Qin Shou. after Qin Shou moved away, the members of the Dharma Night emissaries finally saw their leader, Augustine, and Rondor, who had been following them with a cold expression.
The three leaders all had faint smiles on their faces, and they signed the documents under their arms. It seemed that this meeting was very successful, and all parties got what they wanted.
‘Xu tianzhao’ chuckled and said to ‘link’ and ‘Augustine’, ” after signing the agreement today, I have the intention to host a banquet for the two of you tonight to celebrate the new structure of the freedom Federation.
I’ve been away from Faye for many days, ” ” Augustine ” declined politely. I still have many things to deal with. I won’t bother you tonight.
thank you for your kind intentions, Mayor Xu, ” said ” link. however, since we’ve signed the agreement, I have to go back and make preparations. After all, Faye is still suffering in the dark forest and needs help. We’ll discuss our next move.
“Xu tianzhao” saw that both of them were in a hurry to go back, and his face was full of helplessness and regret. that’s a pity. I was prepared to have a drink with the two of you, but it seems like we can only wait for Faye to resolve the dark forest’s disaster and the freedom Federation to be completely at peace before we meet again.
“I’ll listen to city Lord Xu’s auspicious words!”
“in the future, the three of us will look out for each other and help each other!”
Looking at the state of the three leaders, the members of the diplomatic mission understood that the negotiations had come to an end, especially the French night diplomatic mission. They could no longer suppress the joy on their faces. After reaching an agreement, fa ye’s crisis would no longer be a concern!
‘Xu tianzhao’ raised his hand and gestured to Li Chao and Qin Shou, ” “grand tutor, i’ll have to trouble you to see head of state augustine off. Minister Qin will see general Lin off.”
After receiving the order, the two of them led their men and left in the opposite direction with fa ye and the envoy from shadu.
Link removed his disguise as well after entering the carriage.
“Boss!” Fu was already waiting in the carriage.
after coming out of the secret meeting room, fu had sneaked back to the convoy without anyone noticing.
“Yeah, how are the two of them feeling?”
Fu summoned the coffin and opened the lid. At this moment, Augustine’s hair was in a mess, and he seemed to be in a daze, as if he had not yet recovered from the shadow of failure. Rondor was calm on the side. After all, he was killed by silver hand. The two of them were not on the same level at all, so there was nothing to say about his loss.
The nine-patterned Dragon at the side ignored him and closed his eyes to chant. However, the Scripture did not appease Augustine. Instead, it made him even more agitated and he kept grabbing his hair.
Seeing this, link couldn’t help but laugh.
Augustine’s behavior was not because he couldn’t accept defeat. He was simply upset that he couldn’t see through Link’s trick and couldn’t accept reality. Even after his death, he still did not understand the relationship between link and the Prince.
Link gestured for Ah Fu to close the coffin. He then smiled and said,”Let him calm down for a while.”
Link kept Augustine’s soul for only one reason-to find a chance to ask about the others.
alongso, moros, leng guan, and augustine held high positions in the freedom federation, so it was easy to find them. it was also convenient to make plans. However, James, exquisite, and Aziz, although they were famous on wasteland planet, their whereabouts were a mystery. They had rarely appeared in recent years, so it was not easy to determine their whereabouts.
in his previous life, there were quests for specific classes that required players to find them. players asked for help on the forums and even offered bounties. it took many people to find out about their whereabouts. when others went to look for them later, they found that they had already left, and they were caught unprepared.
...
“How’s sun Shu doing?”
Fu’s face lit up and he immediately reported, ” last night, Sun Shu had already hooked up with the French night emissaries. Today, he has already started to pack his luggage. If everything goes as expected, he will be leaving with the French night emissaries today.
as an opponent in the early stages of the sand city, sun shu had disappeared without a trace after link had wiped out the white crane hall. In the end, boss, who was impersonating Qin Shou, was promoted to general of agile cavalry. Sun Shu’s identity as the advisor of the agile cavalry camp was also exposed. Only then did Fu know that Sun Shu had secretly sneaked into Dragon City.
After his anger subsided, Fu laughed happily. Sun Shu had risked everything to come to Dragon City. He had thought of ways to climb to a high position and accumulate power to take revenge on link. However, he had ended up at Link’s hands without even knowing. After coming to Dragon City this time, Fu only learned of his boss’s overall plan after talking with his third brother, Mr. Cong. He couldn’t help but look forward to Sun Shu’s performance as the ” number one tool in heaven “.
lin ke could not help but nod. sun shu’s performance as an opponent was rather lackluster, but he was surprisingly good at using him as a tool.
with mad lion and the secret agents taking care of this wave, sun shu should be able to perform well on stage.
In the carriage, link finally had some free time to check his reward.
As for the experience points, the system rated the kill in the secret meeting room as ” perfect “, and he received four times the reward.
with 50 potential points in his account, link now had a total of 182 potential points. if he invested all of them, he could double any attribute.
he now had five pieces of the treasure map fragment. if he could get one more piece, he would be able to ask john to explore with him and discover the secret of the desert prince’s wealth.
Link looked at the dungeon crystal again.
...
The dungeon crystal this time was a little interesting. It was called [ the mystery of the diplomatic corps ].
[ instance dungeon name: the mystery of the diplomatic corps ]
[ suggested level: level 50-level 60 ]
[ dungeon mode: 50-man large-scale regional dungeon ]
[ instance dungeon area: outskirts of Dragon City, Dragon city’s Dharma Night border, Dharma Night border ]
[ plot outline: your team was ordered to search for the traitor of Dragon City and accidentally found out that the traitor was colluding with the French night emissaries. In the process of investigating the truth, the head of state of French night discovered it and launched a series of pursuit and battle. ]
[ instance dungeon objective: investigate the traitor’s trail and survive Augustine’s pursuit. ]
This plot was a little interesting!
In his previous life, there had been no border defense agreement with the freedom Federation. Link’s series of actions had been done behind the scenes and not publicly announced. Thus, the game system did not directly announce Link’s actions. Instead, it had followed the plot and extended a reasonable plot.
the recommended level for this dungeon was level 50 to level 60. with a 50-man team, this dungeon could be considered the best in the son of god 1.0 version. the drop rate and experience points were definitely the best.
Including the [diplomatic mission’s mystery] dungeon, link now had a total of six dungeon crystals, which perfectly covered the levels between Level-5 and level-60. The players in the sand capital were in luck. They could enjoy a one-stop service from the Supreme VIP in the instance dungeon and did not have to travel back and forth.
Putting away the dungeon crystal, link looked at the last loot, the title [Terminator].
[terminator]: deals 5% additional damage to all leaders. this effect can be increased by killing leader targets.(next stage progress: 0/25)
Link’s eyes brightened. It was a growth-type title.
there were no stage restrictions, and he only needed to complete the stage goal to level up. it was a good thing.
Deals additional damage to all leaders. Even though it’s only 5%, when it grows in the later stages, this effect can be 10%, 15%. It’s a powerful effect and is practically a leader killer.
As expected of the [ Terminator ], just from the growth effect, it was indeed a leader Terminator.
This trip to Dragon City had been fruitful. In just a few weeks, they had dealt with Dragon City and Faye. Speaking of which, they had to thank one person for this, and that was the shining spirit of Platinum Hotel. If the shining hadn’t ” led the way, ” link wouldn’t have thought of coming to Dragon City in person, and he wouldn’t have been able to resolve the freedom Federation’s Affairs so quickly.
now that the entire freedom Federation is mine, what’s next is to promote a great increase in productivity.
Ah Fu’s eyes flickered, clearly understanding what link meant.
the freedom federation’s inhumans made up more than 80% of the entire wasteland’s inhumans. if such a powerful force were to accept a unified deployment, how terrifying would that be?
