My Players Are So Fierce

Mainly because Lord Morphy has promised me the other two-thirds of the Polluted Swamp, but the remaining one-third controls an important passage.

Without it, my territory would be completely separated from Transylvania.

This is something that I, who admire the ways of kingship, can never accept!

I am truly not coveting your territories, warriors.

I only want to obtain the nominal administrative and ruling rights of the Polluted Swamp, in order to realize my little ambition of becoming the ‘Swamp Lord’.

Please lease your stronghold to me.

The profit distribution can be discussed further; I simply need this town to fulfill my plans for the entire Polluted Swamp…”

“Oh, you have a complete plan for the swamp?”

Niu Niu became interested.

He seriously looked at the beast skin map that Hog had just handed over, and after a few seconds, scratching his head, he said:

“I don’t understand this.

Explain it to me verbally, Hog.

What do you plan to transform the Polluted Swamp into?”

“Ha ha.”

Hog let out a sly laugh, shaking his tail, he said:

“When I met with a noble colonel from the Goldenrod Kingdom previously, I asked him about the journey from Kato area to the bustling Charldo Harbor.

He told me that even by steam train, it would take four days to cross the mountains of the Shardo Peninsula, entering the cities of Half-body Men and Brass Dwarves.

Moreover, train prices are expensive and small merchants cannot afford to transport goods this way, which is why Smugglers’ Forest used to be the biggest smuggling route locally.

The route through the Polluted Swamp to Shardo Peninsula is shorter!

Moreover, along the way, there is the Brass Fortress of the dwarves maintaining safety.

The only problem with this route is the risks encountered upon entering the Polluted Swamp.

The beasts in the swamp are secondary; once lost, one can only die there.

However, if a unified power emerges in the Polluted Swamp, crafting a road directly from Transylvania to the Brass Fortress for the merchants coming and going south and north…

Ah, Niu Niu, my warrior, compared to the previous rules, my plan hasn’t changed any place; I am merely replicating the pattern formerly from the Smugglers’ Forest throughout the Polluted Swamp.

I believe the steam trains of the Half-body Men will not be the only answer connecting the central and southern regions of the Continent.

‘The Swamp Road’!

Yes, I will call it the ‘Bloody Claw Road’!

This road will definitely become more popular among some bold merchants, Transylvania under the leadership of Governor Morphy is bound to flourish, and we who crouch in Sir Morphy’s shadow should contribute to this prosperity.”

“Is this really a scheme a Jackal could devise?”

Niu Niu said, greatly shocked:

“Take off this Jackal skin of yours.

There’s no fun in it, the clever Half-body Hog.”

“Ha, what a funny joke!

I can laugh all day.”

Hog laughed heartily.

Stealthily, he pulled out a Jackal-style voodoo serpent-shaped dagger from the torn bag behind him, and discreetly placed this clearly “good item” into Niu Niu’s hands.

Poor Niu Niu, experiencing “bribery” for the first time in his life, was somewhat at a loss.

He was about to righteously scold Hog for engaging in such wicked deeds, but once Item Identification revealed that it was an elite voodoo dagger, Niu Niu couldn’t utter any words of refusal.

What he lacks is not weapons; Kenbort’s flail and bone shield, both being dominion-class elite equipment, are enough for him until the silver or even Gold Stage.

Primarily, it’s Ambo on the other side facing harsh conditions; it’s too dangerous for his frail paper-thin wife to undertake missions alone without “specialized weapons.”

Niu Niu’s face turned red.

He cursed himself for his lack of willpower, but still kept the dagger that was very suitable for Ambo.

Hog was indeed shameless.

The Jackal Tribe Chief, grinning, watched as Niu Niu reluctantly accepted the gift, then continued to speak:

“Of course, this wasn’t my idea.

The last time I met Professor Chen, I asked him where the way out for my clan was?

That respected Scholar said only a few guiding words, but I also understood that kind of great visionary thought.

Bloodclaw Clan can share the profit of this road with you, warrior!

As long as you’re willing to entrust Wolf Castle to me, we can both have a beautiful future together.”
