Chapter 1018 – Chapter 108: Phoenix Lord

The giant wall of Berga was located in the center of the giant wall. It was also the core area. The territory of the eight lords surrounded the capital. Each lord managed more than a dozen cities, there were hundreds of towns and countless villages.

Peder led Dudian and the others to a remote village. The village was close to the wilderness. There were sharp fences outside the village. They were used to resist the wolves and beasts that wandered over from the wilderness.

There were some ordinary residents in the village. The young and strong ones went to the nearby towns to work for the farmers or to do small businesses. The ones who stayed in the village were old people and children. There was a blacksmith shop, a tavern and a grocery store in the village. The owner of the store was still sleeping at home during the day. There weren’t many businesses throughout the year so he could barely make a living.

On the muddy gravel path in the middle of the village, a few big roosters were pecking at the small insects in the mud. Dudian and the others came and scared the Big Roosters away, a woman carrying a wooden basin full of dirty clothes came out of the house. She was going to wash clothes in the nearby river. She saw Dudian and the others walking in the village. She stopped and looked at them nervously.

Peder’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the village woman. The village woman was scared and threw the wooden basin out.

Peder took the basin and tried to use a kind smile to ask: “Where is the village chief?”

The village woman rarely saw such a handsome young man. Moreover, he was very close to her. It was obvious that he was a big shot. Her face was hot, she stammered nervously: “Village… village chief is in the front of the manor. Are you looking for the village chief?”

“Thank you.”Peder smiled as his figure teleported back. He respectfully said to dudian: “My Lord, Please Follow Me.”

He led the way in front and walked along the gravel path to the end. He saw a wooden fence surrounding the manor. It was called a manor but in fact it was a slightly sturdy wooden house. The wooden fence didn’t cover a large area, there was a dog and a cage of chickens in the house. The dog was tied up. At the moment it felt the smell of a stranger. It immediately began to bared its teeth.

Peder coldly stared at the Black Dog. The dog looked at him in fear. It shrank to the corner of the house and didn’t dare to bark again.

At this time, the barking of the dog startled the people in the house. An old man with gray hair came out. He was wearing rough linen clothes. There was an old metal clip in his chest pocket. He saw Peder and Dudian standing behind him. He was shocked as his eyes widened. He could tell that Dudian and the others were extraordinary from their clothes and temperament.

“Are you the village chief?”Peder’s face didn’t show the previous kindness to the village woman. Instead, he showed a condescending attitude: “We are from the Red Lotus Army. We need to collect some supplies. You should get them ready.”

When the village chief heard the words ‘Red Lotus Army’, his face immediately turned pale with fright. His originally stooped body became even more stooped, and his wrinkled old face became uneasy, “Please, may I ask what resources you need, my Lord? Our Place is barren, and we don’t have anything. I’m afraid…”

“Cut the crap. If you don’t have anything, prepare to go to prison and die!”Pidel berated and interrupted him.

The village chief trembled at his berating and didn’t dare to speak again.

“Prepare thirty sets of clothes. I’ll give you half an hour,”Peder said arrogantly.

The village chief was startled and said hurriedly, “Sir, we’re all wearing coarse clothes here. There’s no silk or brocade at all. I can’t even take out one set!”

Peder frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “Then prepare thirty sets of linen clothes. Be quick. If you delay our time, your old life can’t afford it!”

The village chief was relieved. Although the village was poor but thirty sets of linen clothes could be gathered.

“My Lord, Please Wait a moment. I will go and find them.”

The village chief nodded and bowed. After Peder gave his permission, he quickly walked away. When he passed by Dudian and the others, he felt suffocated as if he was passing by a group of ferocious beasts, it seemed that he would be torn apart at any time.

Not long after, the village chief brought a strong man with him. The strong man’s wrist was rough and full of the smell of iron. He was a blacksmith in the village. He had always had a bad temper. But at this moment, his sturdy body was trembling and his face was full of tension, he was holding a sack which was full of linen clothes.

“Is the quantity correct?”Peder opened the sack and looked at it.

Village chief quickly said: “Absolutely correct. I counted it myself.”In order to prevent the wrong number, he deliberately gave five more sets.

Peder estimated that he didn’t dare to play tricks. He looked at Dudian and asked for instructions.

Dudian nodded slightly and turned to leave.

One of his confidants picked up the sack from the ground and followed behind the crowd. The group left the village.

After watching Dudian and the others leave, the village chief and the blacksmith let out a long sigh. They felt that their heads were full of cold sweat. The humility on the village chief’s face was gone. His narrow eyes slightly moved, he asked the blacksmith: “How is it? Is it possible that they are imposters?”

The blacksmith bitterly smiled, “Old Lu, you know that I have worked as a scavenger in the past. I have seen many big figures. In my opinion, these people are not only members of the Red Lotus Army but also the trump card army! “However, they are actually gathering resources here, and they are even some tattered linen clothes. I really don’t know what they are doing.”

The village chief was startled and immediately said seriously, “You are not allowed to tell anyone about this. Just pretend that it never happened, understand?”

How could a blacksmith not know the stakes involved? It was not beneficial for them to be associated with such a big shot.., “Old Lu, you should tell these words to those women. They have seen it. They will ask questions later.”

“I will warn them.”

“Hopefully this matter will pass.”

..

… ..

After leaving the village, Dudian and others came to the wilderness. They opened the sack and poured out the clothes. There were five more pieces than what Peder wanted. Dudian immediately ordered everyone to change into linen clothes. He left the bag and the witcher. He told Sergei to find a remote place to hide and guard.

“You wait here. We will come to pick you up after we settle down.”Dudian said to Sergei.

“No problem. You can go. I’m not good at this kind of thinking.”Sergei patted his bald head and said to Dudian.

Dudian led Neuss, Barton and others to follow Peder. After they changed into linen clothes they didn’t look so conspicuous anymore. But if they had the intention to observe they would be able to see the difference at a glance, after all they were people who had been fighting on the edge of life and death for a long time. Their temperament was obviously different from ordinary people. Their backs were straight and their eyes were like lightning.

“The plan is to infiltrate the major forces to understand the situation in Borja. Then we will listen to the next instruction.”Dudian told Neuss and the others his idea and plan as he walked, “Before there is a new instruction, your task is to infiltrate the major forces. You will be able to blend in to the extent that you can. Just like in Sylvia.”

Mason licked his lips and excitedly said: “Can we attack after we have a clear understanding of the situation?”

“That depends on the situation. Don’t think about starting a war. Maybe there won’t be a war this time. We are just passers-by. We will be able to stay here and have enough resources for us to use.”Dudian seriously said.

Mason was a bit disappointed but he quickly understood that this was the safest way.

Peder’s eyes lit up after he heard Dudian’s words. It seemed that Dudian didn’t have much confidence or interest in invading the giant wall. If he could hold on until Dudian and the others quietly left.., it would be the safest way for him.

Barton and the other confidants were relieved. Although the previous plan was to attack the giant wall one by one and eventually control the abyss. But the other side was twenty Abyss after all, this wasn’t even counting the existence hidden in the dark. It was too dangerous to rely on Dudian alone. It was the best if they could get along peacefully.

Neuss had been with Dudian for the longest time. He knew that Dudian’s character wasn’t a pacifist. He remembered what Dudian had said before he left Sylvia. He didn’t have a heart and could die at any time. Obviously, even if Dudian took down the giant wall and hid the news like Peder had said.., but in two or three years they would be found out by the Kingdom of God.

Without Dudian’s protection they would all suffer.

In addition, Dudian let them sneak into the forces of all parties. Most of the time he was worried that if he suddenly died, they would be able to continue to live in the giant wall and have a place to live!

Neuss’s nose was slightly sour as he thought of this. He looked at the people around him who were obviously relaxed. He felt bitter in his heart. He was probably the only one who knew Dudian’s intention, in fact, he was more simple and serious than anyone else!

Dudian asked Peder to lead them to get a new identity.

Although Peder had never done such a thing before but it didn’t hinder his understanding of these things. He immediately brought Dudian and others to a nearby town to find the household registration management office, under the threat of force and financial resources, he quickly got three identities.

In fact, in this small town, he had the ability to acquire the identities of all the people. But Dudian told him to only acquire three identities. The rest of the people would go to other towns or cities to acquire three identities, after all, the authority of the village was limited to the nearby villages. If they were to reach the top level and their background was found out, it was inevitable that they would attract attention.

Dudian gave the three identities to himself, Neuss and one of his confidants. The three of them were ordinary residents of different villages so they were exempt from slavery.

After having the identity, things were much more convenient. Dudian rented a few hotels so that Barton and others could rest. He went around the town. Although he wasn’t able to see everything but through the environment of the town.., dudian had a clearer understanding of the holy wall because there were several houses in the small town but there were light bulbs!

There was a good saying that the industry wouldn’t be too bad where there was electricity.

“It seems that the giant wall is connected to the Empire.”Dudian couldn’t help but smile. It was good news for him because he needed a lot of materials to make experimental instruments.

Dudian went back to the hotel after he understood everything, he looked at Neuss: “Go to the nearby big cities and find a force to rely on as soon as possible. I will give you one month. You must make a name for yourself and then take them to get an identity.”

Neuss nodded: “Yes, Master.”

Peder was stunned: “Master, What About Me? I will handle the small matter of getting an identity.”

“You stay by my side.”Dudian faintly said.

Peder couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that Dudian wasn’t completely at ease with him. He sighed in his heart. He felt that this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The less things he had to do for Dudian, the safer it would be for him.

“You are responsible for taking care of them.”Dudian said to Neuss’s confidant.

Lucy respectfully nodded: “Yes, Master.”

“Barton, you stay with her in this town for the time being. I will go to the nearby cities to meet her.”Dudian told Barton and the others.

Barton, Aurora and the others were reluctant but nodded in agreement.

After arranging Barton and the others, Dudian took Peder and left the town. He hired a carriage and went to a nearby big city. The money he used along the way was all from Peder. He was the master of the Red Lotus, he had saved a lot of money over the years. He had savings in the four big banks in the Berga Wall. He could feed hundreds of people with just a small amount of money.

Although PIDEL was smuggled into the city so it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity. But he had the Red Lotus Legion Medal. After showing the medal, he directly entered the city. Even the entrance fee was waived.

Dudian didn’t stay in the city. He changed to a hired carriage and went to the next city.

They met a small town along the way. Dudian asked Pidel to give him a new identity. Two days later, Dudian and Pidel came to one of the eight lords, phoenix Lord lived in the main city.

It had to be said that the grandeur of the main city couldn’t be compared to other ordinary cities. The height and shape of the city walls were magnificent. Especially the main city of the Phoenix Lord.., on the flat and towering city walls, there was a divine bird that looked like it had been painted with bright red paint. It was exactly the appearance of the mythical Phoenix. It looked extremely magnificent and awe-inspiring.
