"There is a place near Rosalin called The Pirate Bay. It was originally a nest of pirates on the Wagtail Strait. It was cleaned up by us and turned into a secret pier. There is a secret road connected to Rosalin. Left behind by smugglers colluded with pirates."
Unlike Instalong's slant sword, Targus is a steady and pragmatic person. Now that he has made a plan with his partner, he will not have any more troubles. He brought Brando and Huanghuo to his reception room, and ordered his men to move out a map of the Wagtail Strait and Rosalinn, and simply told him the location of Madara’s coded pier nearby. Lando.
With the dim light, Brando could clearly see the position of the Cyclops general marked on the rough map-in fact, the undead didn’t need lighting. The dusty oil lamp that I didn’t know from there was just For the convenience of him and Huang Huo.
"No secret way, I just need to know the location," he replied, "how many boats are there?"
"Three of them are medium-sized two-masted sailboats."
"Are there any sailors on board?"
"There are some, but they are all undead. We usually pretend to be pirates when we go to sea."
"Perhaps it is better for you to pretend to be a ghost ship."
"Good idea," the soul fire in Instalong's eyes lit up slightly, as if he hadn't heard Brando's sarcasm, but then he shook his head in frustration, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "It's a pity, Your Majesty We won't borrow Salva's ghost army. Those things are now under the management of Alvetna women."
"The Banshee King?"
"It's her, the woman who betrayed the Dark Lords." He didn't seem to want to talk more about this issue, shook his head and closed his mouth.
But Brando knew that the dark nobles on the west side of the Dead Moon Sea had always believed that Alvette had thrown into the Mercury Rod before the Supreme One of Madara showed dissatisfaction with the Dark Lord, showing this woman. Deep scheming and two-sided swordsmanship.
In fact, the root of the problem lies in Alvette’s betrayal of the Southern Dark Lords, which caused these undead lords to have a certain sense of crisis. Although they are the first to follow the Mercury Rod, they are in the supreme centralization and locality. They are also standing on the opposite side of the Supreme One in the struggle.
With this stance, these dark nobles cannot pretend to be the King of Banshee, who plays the emperor's loyal dog, and Instalong, who has the same background and position, is naturally unavoidable.
As a member of the vampire family closer to the emperor, Targus seemed much more rational. Of course, this might have something to do with his calm personality, and he just didn't say a word about the complaints of his companions.
He just raised his head and glanced at the latter.
Huang Huo stood silently behind Brando, watching quietly, as if trying to keep every detail of this Jiufeng's opponent in her heart to complement her understanding of this dark country.
"What do you plan to do with this stronghold next, and then I have to find two people." Brando looked around and asked them.
"There is no need to deal with it. The undead don't need food. After we leave, no one will go out from here. It will remain the same until your majesty appoints a new person in charge to arrive here." Targus glanced at the skeletons standing guard around him. , Replied.
Brando is noncommittal, but he still sighs about the natural advantages of the undead in certain aspects. There is no morale, almost no food, and no excretion or rest except for necromancers. In these respects, humans are also horses. Not as good as the undead.
Fortunately, they also have disadvantages. First of all, it is difficult to sneak into the human world. Although they can establish secret strongholds in places such as Rosalin that are not tightly guarded, it is also because humans have closed one eye, otherwise the temple You only need to detect the undead or sweep away the undead hidden in the human world and there is nowhere to hide.
On the contrary, humans are very common in Madara. First, the merchants and travelers who crossed the Sea of Dead Moon from the Nine Phoenix and Rubik, and then the necromancers, dark acolytes, and various others who lived here. Class exiles, criminals exiled by various countries and people who are not seen.
If Madara wants to capture all the humans living in its land, it must be messed up.
Secondly, the basic command unit of the undead is based on the number of corpse witches, and the IQ of the corpse witches is not satisfactory. Therefore, apart from the black knight guard team established by Instaron, the undead rarely use too complicated tactics. . Before the Xianlin War, it is not an exaggeration for players to say that the undead of Vaughan likes to use the Skeleton Sea to go blind. It is actually the helpless choice of the Dark Lords, because their grassroots non-commissioned officers are not enough to support too complicated tactics.
"Then come with me..." he replied.
…
Many scavengers will choose to buy or rent a house in the west of Rosalind, because most people who ask for a living on this road know such a secret road to the outside of Rosalin—the one in three to five years. The secret road was first built by a group of vicious pirates, mainly for kidnapping and extortion-kidnapping the residents of the city, and then selling them to the undead lords south of Madara, and then blackmailing these people in the city. Relatives.
But later these people got off their feet. They kidnapped Lord Rosalin's son, the brother of the current Lord Rosalin, and threw the hapless man into the sea. Then these pirates were cleared at sea by the Rosalin family fleet. Most of them were arrested and hanged. A few survivors or incognito went to the Swift Plains. Since then, this secret road has also fallen to smugglers. His hands have continued to this day.
Today, the true owner of this secret road has always been Lord Rosalin’s army. After all, the army has always been the uncrowned king of smugglers. Several captains of knights control this'business', which has been passed down from generation to generation to almost form an industry. And through it, it maintains a tacit understanding with the forces of all sizes in the city.
Therefore, for a long time, almost all the people walking on the dark roads, or the homeless people who wander on the sea (another name for pirates in Rosalind) have known this fact. Among these people, those who need to settle in Rosalin, Most of them are very self-aware and understand that they are not very popular in the world of order, and their safety and life may not be guaranteed, so they also need such a way back.
Or in other words, it is actually'receive protection' in a sense.
Of course, the tacit understanding between these desperadoes and the lord's army naturally avoided the wise eyes and ears of the Rosalin family.
For such a situation, Na Xin is naturally inevitable. However, he is generally regarded as a decent man among the scavengers, so he sold an entire building at 52 West Street as the nominal headquarters of his caravan.
In the busiest time of business on the Black Road, this building is quite famous in the circle. The guests who come here are merchants who entrust him to transport the goods—and many of them are official merchants who come and go on the Wagtail Strait, and they His butler, and even a necromancer who came to him to order orders.
However, since Madara’s bone shelf fell to the ground in the Bone Wilderness, the business here—or the entire scavenger ecosystem—has withered day by day.
Many people changed their careers to become pirates, and some took their hands, left this messy slum, and never returned. Either it is to become a mercenary, but that is generally a choice made by penniless poor ghosts. In Wagtail Strait, mercenaries on merchant ships are generally similar to cannon fodder.
When Na Xin raised his head and looked at the rusty sign hung in front of this building, he was full of memories of the past. There was a triangle sign on the iron sign, which was set by him and his earliest partner.' The company's trademark, it's a pity that the like-minded guy is a short-lived ghost. He had a lung disease early and was buried in an unknown grave outside of Rosalin. God knows that no one will sweep the grave for him after that.
He sighed and took out the key from his pocket to open the door. He had promised to return to Jiufeng together, but now he has made a lot of money, but the hope of returning to his hometown is still slim.
The difference from the original plan is so big, the family business earned from running on the dark road for half a lifetime does not seem to help the goal at all. On the contrary, he accidentally went back and forth between Tomuro and Rosalin for the last time. A young man rescued gave himself hope of returning to his hometown.
I don't know how that guy will feel when he knows his situation.
He opened the door, and there was no dark person in the hall. It seemed that the guys had not come back, and they didn't know if they had inquired about the news that the adult wanted. He was full of distracting thoughts, but suddenly heard the sound of thumping footsteps, and he walked down the stairs on the second floor alone.
"Sebas?" He looked up, just in time to see a dark-skinned teenager in a grey-fluttering apron coming down the stairs.
When the latter saw him, his eyes were full of surprises, and he yelled with joy: "Then Uncle Xin? It scared me to death. I thought you were going to the dark road again and couldn't meet you anymore."
"I just came back from the dark road," Na Xin replied, frowning and looking at each other. This young man is the only offspring of his poor partner. He didn't want him to follow his own way, so he spent a lot of money. Qian sent him early to become the apprentice of the lord blacksmith, "Why did you come out? Who let you out of the castle? You sneaked out?"
"Of course not, I don't have the guts, Uncle Xin." Sebas quickly explained: "A lady entrusted me to come out, let me help her do something in the city."
"Then what are you doing here?"
