Chapter 582 Pure Land
Silver City Time: Dr3717-04-09: 10 a.m. Satt Time: 62 a.m.
On an open space 3500km from Chifeng Stronghold, hundreds of tents were erected in a circle, surrounded by a fence made of sharpened wood.
A large number of crypt workers were gathered in the middle of the camp. They were using their giant ant forceps to grab rocks and pave the ground. Thousands of crypt workers were circling in the air, flying back and forth from afar. They threw the stones they had gathered to the ground, then flapped their wings and flew out of the camp.
If there were humans or demons here, they would definitely be shocked. Because large numbers of humans and Elda workers were stationed around the tent. They either stood or sat, some watching, some chatting, some gathering together to play cards, looking relaxed and casual, as if they were used to the swarm of insects in front of them.
At this moment, on a high ground not far from the camp, a tall and graceful woman with a dignified appearance and a temperament as cold as snow covered in crimson scales was crossing her chest and watching the construction of the camp in full swing.
Beside her was a giant golden queen bee. Its membrane wings were more than ten meters long and were draped over its back, reflecting a dazzling luster. The knuckles were thick and strong, and there was a person hugging at the base of the hind legs. The tip of the knuckles was extremely sharp, and it pierced deeply into the soil to support its body. Looking back, its abdomen was bulging and incomparably large, giving off a heavy, liquid-filled feeling. It was hard to believe that he could fly across the sky with such a large abdomen.
The man and the bee were the swarm of bee insects surrounding the human-controlled area of Desert Five. Two of the five giants were the Crimson Queen Serazzo Bergale Amber and the Golden Queen Bee Helena Zelasia Tourmaline.
“Helena,” muttered Helena, dancing her soft tentacles and letting out a low cry.
“I have instructed Edward Sosi and Jiang Bowen to head to the human and demon strongholds to spread the news of Pure Land Town.” Salazar said. Taking advantage of the war between the humans and the demons, she followed her previous plan to transform the outsider rebels’ gathering places into neutral towns, providing safe trading places for the merchants of the two races and collecting certain taxes to meet her own needs.
“Ji!” Helena raised her head and let out a sonorous cry. The crisp voice broke through the brocade and broke the jade, soaring into the clouds.
‘”Haha ~” Salazar chuckled. “Alright, I know you don’t like them, but we need these people to clear the outsider checkpoints for us.” She paused. She added, “I believe it won’t be long before Pure Land Town becomes a pearl in Desert Five, providing us with all sorts of precious materials, as well as luxuries that cannot be produced by professional insects, such as wine, jewelry, cosmetics, beautiful clothes …” She looked at Helena, “I always wonder how beautiful you would be if you wore a dance dress.”
“Haw.” Helena raised her foot to express her dissatisfaction.
“Alright, I admit …” Salazar covered his mouth and smiled. “Humans are low-level creatures. They don’t appreciate the beauty of high-level creatures.”
“Gulu” Helena let out a disdainful cry.
Just as the two swarm queens were discussing their next arrangements, Tie Zha and the Black Pig King arrived at the Aurora Plane gate in the northern part of the Dark Jungle.
Behind them were six vipers with modified snow tyres, a team of bounty warriors driving sand-sea flying fish, and two container trucks carrying mechanical armor assembly rooms. After returning from Fengkou Town, the two of them temporarily formed this small squad to serve as a scouting force for the Aurora Plane.
“Are you a mercenary group hired by Syris Investment Co., Ltd?” The guard at the checkpoint looked at the documents submitted by Tie Zha and asked.
“Yes.” Tie Zha replied.
“Called the Black Wolf Mercenary Corps?” The guard raised his head and asked slowly, his expression arrogant and indifferent.
“Yes, sir.” Tie Zha nodded.
“This name is really earthy. Why don’t you call it a tiger lion or something?” The guard evaluated the situation and then said, “Are you a mercenary group with the nature of a mutant worm?” “Are you a mercenary group with the nature of a mutant worm?”
“Yes.” Tie Zha replied with a gloomy expression.
“Where’s the recommendation letter from the City Hall of Windsand Castle?” The guard casually flipped through the documents in his hand and asked without raising his head.
Tie Zha did not answer and placed the Notre Dame red-robed warrior’s badge on the document. The guard looked at it and frowned. He waved his hand and threw the badge away. He asked loudly, “I told you to show me the letter of introduction. Don’t you understand?”
The guard was a newbie, he had just graduated from the military academy in the Central Continent, and had never seen the red-robed warrior’s badge. He entered the Dark Jungle Guard through his family connections. He was from a well-off family and came from Elk City, so he looked down on those mercenaries, especially those mutants that turned into insects. In addition, as a rookie, being transferred to this bitter and tiring post, he was in a very bad mood.
Ten minutes ago, He complained to his colleagues, “Those officials above are thinking about something. If it’s bad, then fight. The main theme of the world is peace, okay? Besides corruption and deceiving the people, what else would they do” He said this not because of a sense of justice, but because the war on the Aurora Plane affected his leisure life. If he was sitting in the barracks drinking coffee like his officer, there would probably be another explanation.
In this world, there was such a kind of person. Their abilities were limited, and they were unwilling to take responsibility. However, they thought highly of themselves. They cursed all day long, pointing at rivers and mountains, questioning this, insulting that. There was a strong smell of “Number One Under Heaven Lao Tzu, you are all trash”. They always thought that they were standing on the moral high ground, looking down on all living beings. This kind of person, often because their mood is not good, encountered soft persimmons on the pinch, casually vent negative emotions, who encountered who is unlucky.
“You’re courting death!” Standing behind Tie Zha, the Black Pig King finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He shouted, opened his fingers, took large strides forward, and slapped him.
Tie Zha quickly grabbed the Black Pig King’s wrist like lightning. If he were to fight the garrison here, it would definitely bring huge trouble, especially during the war.
“Holy shit, how dare you hit someone!” The guard’s expression darkened as he cursed as he raised his assault rifle and aimed it at the Black Pig King, “Come on, try it!”
The Black Pig King glared at the guards with wide eyes, almost exploding with anger, “Don’t pull me, I’m going to whip this dog to death!”
When the guards nearby heard the commotion, they immediately raised their guns and surrounded him.
“These two bug-like mutants want to forcefully break through and attack me? Do you think we’re vegetarians?” The guard shouted loudly, his voice harsh.
“Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings” Tie Zha hurriedly raised his hands and kicked the Black Pig King.
“Your mother’s misunderstanding!” The guard shouted.
Tie Zha was so angry that his eyes turned red, but he still managed to hold back. He was wearing big sunglasses, and if he really started fighting, he would very likely reveal his identity.
Under the guns of the guards, Tie Zha pulled the Black Pig King back slowly and kept emphasizing, “Brothers, we don’t have any malicious intentions, we really don’t …”
In the midst of the stalemate, the junior officer of the garrison came.
“What’s going on?” The officer held his hands behind his back, looked around, and asked.
“They intend to charge through the checkpoints and attack the guards.” The guard reported.
The officer turned around and looked at Tie Zha, who was holding his hands up. “Do you have anything else to say?” He asked.
Tie Zha didn’t say a word and pointed at the badge that had fallen to the ground. The conflict happened too quickly for him to pick it up.
“Huh?” The officer bent down to pick up the badge and looked at it for a while. Then, he wiped it off his body and returned it to Tie Zha. “Are you from Notre Dame?” He asked.
‘”Our boss’s boss” Tie Zha hinted vaguely.
“Brother, if it was normal times, I would have let you pass, but now it’s a bit different …” The officer said with a look of embarrassment. “You know, we’re watching closely now. Without a letter of introduction, we can’t handle our business. Why don’t you ask your boss to give our officer a voice call …” Then he added, “Just tell him who it is. We can call for instructions as well.”
“How about this” Tie Zha paused for a moment, then pulled the officer behind the truck and stuffed a bag of gold coins into it. He didn’t want to trouble Mu Yuqinxin, and he, a fake red-clothed warrior, couldn’t withstand the interrogation, so he decided to spend money to solve the problem.
The officer hesitated for a moment. “Sir, this … how can this work …” The coin bag was not light, at least five hundred gold coins. He didn’t dare to take the red-clothed warrior’s money.
“This is for the brothers to drink. If you offended me earlier, I’ll treat it as an apology to everyone.” Tie Zha said with a smile.
“This” The officer hesitated for a moment and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll go ask the higher-ups.” After saying that, he returned to the checkpoint, took the information from the guards, and hurriedly left.
A few minutes later, the officer got off the viaduct at the plane gate and dialed the squadron leader’s voice from the barracks, telling the truth. The other party held the red-clothed warrior’s badge, but he also offered a high price. It was a matter of great importance, so he did not dare to take it exclusively.
After a long silence, he said, “Fax me a copy of the information. Let me take a look first.”
After sending the information, another ten minutes later, a soft sigh came from the other side and said, “This … this matter is a bit strange …”
“What’s the matter?” The officer asked cautiously.
“He’s holding the red-robed warrior’s badge, but he doesn’t dare to say who it is. It’s also from Sand Wind Castle. Is it possible” The squadron leader didn’t finish his last words, but the meaning was already clear. The badge was most likely stolen or robbed by them. If so, the nature of the problem would be serious. Anyone who dared to risk committing a crime against a red-robed warrior would at least be a world-class wanted criminal.
“Boss, what should we do?” “Let me think about it … Eh … this Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd. Seems to have the shares of Earl Andrew Teresa and Ben Mordleton Jr. Forget it. Let it go. They’re all big shots.”
“What about the letter of introduction?” The officer asked.
“Do you still need to ask me about this small matter?” “Understood. Understood.” “Also, don’t take his money. Handle it fairly.” “Yes, yes, yes …”
A moment later, the checkpoint was finally cleared and the convoy slowly entered the plane gate.
