According to the observation of Tsengqi wizard who relied on the power of the magic plate and could fly in the sky, this swamp showed an irregular rectangle. The narrowest part was fifteen miles away. If you wanted to cross the swamp, it would take about fifteen days. And this was the speed of the swamp residents who had lived in swamps since childhood and had a familiar road.

The residents of the swamp do not need to build solid camps like tribes on the grassland, because everyone knows that it is impossible for the enemies outside to go deep into the swamp to launch attacks. The swamp itself is their best defense, better than any towering city wall.

Although the swamp is divided into multiple tribes, it has actually been respected by one monarch. That is Nurg's darling, the Chaos Lord, and Jacks, known as the "Immortal Lord". According to rumors, the Chaos Lord has ruled the swamp for more than a hundred years. Time itself has allowed him to accumulate enough prestige, so that as long as he does not die, the swamp tribes will be a piece of iron, and even the deceitful Lord cannot find a gap to use.

What surprised many people was that although the ruler of Danger Peak City and the Chaos Lord Astiana had long wanted to defeat the immortal master Jacks and conquer the swamp. However, in fact, the exchanges between the lower-level personnel of the two sides were quite close. This was not only because the two sides lived next to each other, but also because of the need for material exchange between the two sides. A variety of rare specialties from the outside world are produced in the swamp, and the swamp itself also needs to import various materials from outside. This kind of exchange has great benefits, and even in the years when the two sides fought the most intensely, it has not stopped.

As for the recent years... the aging of Astiana, the lord of Chaos, has long been no longer a secret. He is no longer as ambitious as before, so the trade between the two sides has not only not decreased, but has been further strengthened.

Therefore, the arrival of another Chaos Lord, Ash Rufate, soon came into the swamp.

On a relatively dry land near the periphery of the swamp, villages were built with rough fences. There was no strong defensive wall in the swamp, but only fences were used to resist unwelcome beasts. The residents did not live in tents, but houses built with stones and wood. However, in the tribal architectural pattern, the habit of being used throughout the chaos realm is still preserved here: there is a large open space for sacrifices and meetings in the center of the camp.

This is a tribe closest to the outside world in the entire swamp. At this moment, people from the tribe are gathering here to discuss the news they have received recently from the outside world.

If there were outsiders present, he would definitely be surprised at what he saw. Because in other places in the Chaos Realm, there were few people who had signs given by the Lord God, even if the sign was lesions and deformities. The influence of the father of the plague was so severe here that the mutations of several higher-ranking members of the tribe had been quite serious, and they could only be seen from some of the residual characteristics of their bodies that they were (or were once) humans.

"Is that true... Another Tsengchi Chaos Lord who intends to conquer the swamp!"

"Astiana has become a coward who doesn't even dare to go to the battlefield... Speaking of which, aging is really terrible. He was the enemy we fear the most!"

"He is completely out of the way now...but the Chaos Lord named Ashurufate seems to be not old. Everyone says he is only in his twenties, at most no more than thirty. If he replaces Astiana, it means that he will be at least twenty years old... It is possible to say thirty or forty years."

"But his subordinates are very small, and it seems that there is no more than 10,000 people. This is far worse than Astiana back then. Astiana had tens of thousands of troops. At the most, he sent an army of 50,000. By the way, I also heard that he didn't even have a formal wizard with a magic plate, only a few apprentice-level wizards."

"The Lord of Cunning is helpless... After all, Astiana is old, so even if he is not strong enough, he can only send him here first. Ha... It seems that he may be able to win easily this time. If it goes well, he can even directly capture the Dangerous Peak City."

"Wait, you are too careless. This Ash Rufate is not the simple Tsengchi Chaos Lord. He also received the blessings of Prince Fun. He received the blessings of the two gods at the same time... This is rare."

"Even if he receives a hundred blessings, he only has an army of 10,000 people. What's the terrible thing? Even if Astiana lends him part of his army, he will not be able to command freely in a short time. Not to mention that Astiana is just a coward now, hiding in the city all day and not coming out. How could he lend his troops to this newcomer?"

The day after Ashu Rufate arrived in the Angry Peak City, the relevant information had already reached the swamp. After two or three days of reconnaissance and confirmation, Ashu Rufate's military strength and other information were found quite clearly.

It must be noted that everyone speaks very easily. Because everyone believes that this lord named Ashurufate will never succeed. As mentioned earlier, after so long, the facts have proved that no army can go deep into the swamp to launch an attack, so the initiative of the war is actually in the hands of the Nurgur believers. They can choose whether to fight or even when the war begins.

"Report the relevant information to Lord Jacks." Finally, someone spoke. "At the same time, it was suggested that we can take the initiative to attack... at the foot of the Xianfeng City, completely defeat the ambition of the Tsengqi believers. Let them change to a new Chaos Lord!"

This last sentence caused a burst of cheers. Due to Astianna's weak fighting spirit, both sides had experienced a long enough period of peace. Perhaps Astianna had extinguished her ambitions and did not want to fight, but the desire for fighting on the swamp was getting worse and worse. Well, if Astianna had not taught them enough lessons in the previous battle, maybe they would have taken the initiative to launch an offensive long ago.

"Not right, I think it's better to wait and see for a while." When the cheers ended, a mature and stern person raised objections. "Speaking of this, I have some doubts that this was a trick of the old man Astiana."

The surroundings immediately became quiet. In the past twenty years, the troops of the father of the plague have been lured by Astiana to leave the swamp several times and take the initiative to attack. Each time they thought "there is a bargain to take", but under Astiana's tricks, they suffered heavy losses each time. Now, the residents of the swamp have been a little scared by Astiana, especially the older Nurgur believers, and the shadows of failure have not yet dissipated in their memories.

Even though Astiana's aging incompetence is no longer a secret today, the immortal master Jacks still dare not take the initiative to attack the dangerous peak city.

"Is this the trap of that old guy Astiana?"

"It's possible. Those guys who believe in Tsengqi have always been famous for their weirdness." Someone else said. "If it were the guy Astiana... even if he spent ten years pretending to set up a trap, there would be nothing strange."

"Well...it makes sense to say that..."

"Anyway, we are invincible, and that old guy has not lived for a few years. Why don't we wait patiently and make sure he's dead before we talk about it."

"What should I do if the newcomer Ashu Rufate?" someone asked.

"Just ignore it for the time being." Another answered. "No matter who it is, it is impossible to attack the swamp. However, if he quickly leaves Xingfeng City and approaches the edge of the swamp, then the possibility of this being a trap will be small."

"Well, that's the decision. Let's record the relevant things and give them to Lord Jacks."

It was late winter and early spring. Unlike the south, in this season, almost the entire chaotic territory was still covered by thick snow, with only a few exceptions. Unfortunately, this swamp is one of these "very few areas". The swamp winter is not frozen. Indeed, winter will be the greatest danger to the swamp, that is, the miasma is greatly suppressed, but it also makes up for this defect on the other hand: that is, the temperature of the swamp water is reduced. Even the swamp residents cannot travel in cold water for a long time. In fact, this period is the most unfavorable time for the entire swamp to move throughout the year. The swamp residents themselves have greatly reduced their range of activities.

Not long after, in other parts of the swamp, the relevant information was delivered soon. It didn't take too long for all the believers of the father of the Plague who lived in the swamp to learn about this: a new Tsengchi Chaos Lord came. The new Tsengchi Chaos Lord was named Ashrufate, a young man. His direct troops were not strong and needed the control of the Xianfeng City and the support of Astiana's subordinates. In addition, the news from further places said that the Chaos Lord should have been promoted for a short time, and his abilities have yet to be proved, and his qualifications are not enough to convince the public. It is said that it is not the type that has experienced arduous tests and battles and finally received the approval of the gods, but has been temporarily promoted to replace Astiana's Lord.

Although as a Chaos Lord, his abilities will naturally not be too bad, then again, there are differences between them as Chaos Lord. Compared to Jacks, who has long become a legendary immortal master after living for hundreds of years, this newly emerged Chaos Lord will naturally be despised by people. For a moment, the believers of the Father of the Plague were ready to move. If it weren't for the fact that this was a conspiracy carefully set up by Astianna, perhaps the believers of Nurgre had already begun to take action.

Deep in the swamp, there is a rare flat land with a slightly higher terrain. Such terrain is naturally everywhere on the grassland, worthless, but it is a rare item in the swamp. Of course, such a piece of land will never be wasted by the tribes in the swamp, and a large village is built on this flat land.

In the village, there is a building that is obviously unique. As we all know, due to the limitations of terrain and materials, it is difficult to build any magnificent buildings in the swamp, so this three-story stone tower is particularly eye-catching. It is difficult to tell what style this building is or what it comes from, but such a building, from the perspective of the swamp residents, is really suitable for a big man to live in.

In fact, the same is true.

At this moment, a man was standing in front of the stone tower.

This man was not wearing a helmet, and was wearing simple armor - not Chaos Armor, but relatively crude armor. It is obvious that part of this armor was once the formation of a certain (or multiple) Chaos Armor. It was later transformed by human hands and eventually became like this. The only thing worth noting is the tattoo he exposed on his shoulders. This tattoo is a blood-colored Chaos Rune, which means that he has signed a contract with the Chaos Gods.
