Ström's mood has been up and down like a swing lately.

Those mysterious church believers who suddenly appeared came to Crooks City and wantonly arrested the swamp people he secretly manipulated, which made his nerves tense to the extreme, if it weren't for the people of the Secret Eye Society who gave him a little 'research results' as a hole card, he couldn't help but let the swamp people rebel and see if he could directly attack the City Lord's Mansion in one go.

Fortunately, his sanity still made him give up this unrealistic idea.

Although his nemesis, Lloyd, and his city guards are not too strong, the city guards themselves are only a second-level force to maintain law and order in the city.

Civilians don't have access to secrets of this level, but there is a not-so-legendary legend among the nobility that there is also a secret army in Crooks that the Meredith family, the lord of the city, has been cultivating since two hundred years ago.

None of the nobles could prove the existence of this army, but whenever a nobleman threatened the lord of the city, was dazzled by Crooks' wealth, and had thoughts that he shouldn't have, no matter how prosperous the family was, it would be razed to the ground overnight.

Once upon a time, Crookes had a noble family that had flourished for more than a hundred years, and there were three bishops of different churches in their family, as well as a magician who had stepped into the otherworldly realm.

No matter which city this kind of power is placed in, it can be regarded as a force that cannot be ignored, and even the city lord can only be resigned to it.

And the head of that family, that is, one of the three bishops, with the strength of the family, insisted on taking down the old city lord of Meredith and taking a share of the mining industry in Crooks City.

He and several other bishops had transferred some Holy Cult troops from other cities, and had the magicians who had stepped into the transcendent also come to the clan to raise the flag if they disagreed.

As a result, the next day, the family disappeared from the city of Crookes.

It was not that it was wiped out after a fierce battle, but that it was really overnight, hundreds of people in the entire family disappeared, and even the extravagant mansion that was not much worse than the City Lord's Mansion in the past was also lost, leaving only a blank land.

After that, all three churches sent people to investigate the matter and tried to question the old city lord, but no results were obtained, and one of the churches was listed by the old city lord as a sect unpopular in Crooks City because of his tough attitude, and the other party was forbidden to preach in the city.

The church was still trying to take revenge, but the Pope died violently that night, and the new Pope immediately withdrew from the Holy Army, keeping a distance from Crooks.

How exactly the old city lord's secret legion did this is unknown, but since then, no nobleman has dared to touch the other's tiger whiskers.

Even if the other party is dying of old age and his death is approaching, the nobles in the city only dare to support those who may be on the throne in a proper manner, and there are no other messy flowers.

Even Strom, as a last resort, cooperated with the Secret Eye Society in order to protect himself, and enabled the swamp people to sneak into trouble, for fear of being noticed by the old city lord, and sent a secret legion to destroy himself directly.

While Ström was in a state of panic, the occult believers abruptly withdrew.

The exact reason for this is unknown, but the swamp people who were ambushed inside the city guard reported that it was because of the strange attack on the believers.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the swamp people, Ström went to the scene of the battle between the believers of the Occult Church and the unknown enemy, and found that the strength of both sides of the battle was quite terrifying.

Anyway, the swamp people definitely can't beat either side.

Just when Ström was relieved by the withdrawal of the occult cultists and began to think about how to break the situation next, the swamp man Neiying brought him another piece of bad news.

The group of occult believers came running again...... And this time, Nima still dragged his family and brought a lot of them!

They seem to be looking for something.

At first, Ström thought they were still searching for the Swamp People, but later he noticed that the other party had lost a lot of interest in the Swamp People and seemed to be looking for something else.

But that doesn't mean Ström can rest easy: just because the other party's interest in finding the Swamp Man has diminished, it doesn't mean that the other side is no longer looking for the Swamp Man.

In fact, those strange believers, though less so, are still very enthusiastic, and while looking for their own goals, they will casually ask if the people around them are swamp people.

And as before, once the swamp people are asked, they will be immediately exposed and hacked to death by them......

Ström pondered, it seems that they find the swamp people, and it is no good to take it. Lloyd's didn't give them any money either, so why would they be so keen to search for the swamp people?

It's a pity that he can't even think of players having 'experience points' that are more important than money.

"Your Excellency, please tell me what to do!" Eventually, Ström felt a little helpless, so he could only try to continue through the mirror and ask the miraculous envoy, "Are you going to use up the hole cards you gave me last time?" ”

"I've already said it's a test."

The 'envoy' of the Secret Eye Society is actually also MMP in his heart, and he feels that the players who suddenly appear are particularly in the way, but because his face is covered by a hood, he can't see his expression: "All judgments can only be decided by yourself." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing good to do." The other party interrupted Ström's words without hesitation, and his tone sounded a little irritated: "This is the last time I will respond to your call before you successfully take over Crooks City." ”

"How so...... Your Excellency! Ström asked in a panic, "Did something happen?" ”

"We have found a strange High Elf undead in the territory of the Tagruno Federation, although it has lost its self-consciousness, it still retains the 'knowledge' of life in its brain, and it is more important to us to catch that guy than your!" Obviously, the arrest operation did not go well, and the envoy of the Secret Eye Society was very impatient: "Prove your worth to us, otherwise we will choose to give up on you!" You should know exactly what will happen in that case. ”

"I—I see." Ström was so intimidated by the other party, although his mind was like a mess, but he had already made a decision in his heart: "I'll do it well!" ”

The light of the mirror dimmed, but Ström still stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself in the mirror with a somewhat crazy expression, repeating: "I'll do a good job...... Will do a good job......"

His tone gradually became firm, and those triangular eyes gradually revealed a fierce light.
