The night was like water, and the moonlight still left a faint silver ash through the haze.

Lu Yang sat in the small courtyard, Kaisha and Eddie were playing beside him, and in front of him was Davis, who was standing straight.

It was only then that he had time to have a good exchange with this old subordinate.

"Tell me, has anything happened to Bilgewater lately? How are Sarah and Sword and Rose doing now? ”

"Yes." Davis saluted, then spoke slowly.

……

"That's right......"

After listening to Davis's story, Lu Yang fell into deep thought.

The situation was a bit more than expected.

He had been in the Void for more than nine months, and with the cost of the journey, he had been away from Bilgewater for a year.

Before he left, Swords and Roses had largely pacified Bilgewater's situation and become the new overlord.

The last time he was in Zaun, he got the news that Sarah had truly become the queen of Bilgewater, and even began to develop a professional army, and had successfully trained a special squad.

According to Lu Yang's conjecture, more than half a year has passed, and Sarah should have completely eliminated the large-scale opposition of Bilgewater, and promoted the transformation of the city into a country in a fast and orderly manner.

However, the truth is that Bilgewater is divided again.

It can't be said that it is divided, Sarah is still the pirate queen in name, but her actual authority has been greatly weakened.

In the first half of the year, it was indeed as Lu Yang expected, but when Sarah's true purpose began to be revealed, trouble began.

An unexpected and reasonable person stepped forward and raised the curtain against Sword and Rose.

She's — Aloy.

When she realizes that Sarah's goal is to completely transform Bilgewater into a well-ordered, law-based, and centralized state, Aloy, who has always been kind, jumps out.

This is a clash between kingship and theocracy.

Bilgewater itself is a playground for gangsters and criminals, mostly unruly and lawless.

When someone came forward, the situation that had finally calmed down suddenly made waves again.

To Sarah's surprise, Aloy exposes her true purpose and puts most of the gang on the opposite side of Sword and Rose.

No one wants to have more than one uncle on top of their head, not to mention that these gangs are so lawless that it is impossible to accept the future that Sarah wants.

Originally, the foundation that had been laid by the sword and the rose at that time, even so, should not be so passive.

It's a pity, just like Lu Yang did at the beginning, Eloy used his strong strength to tear apart the defense line of Sword and Rose, and coupled with their own advantage in faith, the situation was completely out of control.

After the rise of Eloi and the confrontation between the two sides for a while, a large-scale battle took place.

In that battle, Aloy showed incredible strength, being able to summon green tentacles up to 100 meters long to attack, and Sarah was even seriously injured and dying, but she relied on a small jade sword to repel her.

However, it is said that Eloi also paid a great price in that war, and there is news that her situation is not much better than Sarah's. And, she didn't show up for a long time after that.

Sword and Rose fought with Aloy, and the situation in Bilgewater changed again, and another force took the opportunity to rise.

From the initial invincibility of the hegemon to the three-legged power, this situation has continued until now.

On the bright side, it is still the strongest power of Sword and Rose, followed by Eloy, and finally the third party.

The three parties were at a stalemate because of mutual jealousy, and although Sword and Rose were the strongest on the surface, the overall situation was not friendly.

Although both Eloi and the rising third-party powers have ambitions, the conflict is not large.

But it is almost impossible to reconcile the sword and the rose that want to enforce order and establish the kingdom with the hatred between them.

Once they came to an agreement and joined forces, the sword and the rose fell into great passivity.

However, the idea of the Sword and the Rose was supported by all the people at the bottom of Bilgewater, as well as some of the people at the top, and the terrible little green sword made Aloy and the third party dare not act rashly.

Of course, there is another reason - Lu Yang.

Lu Yang has only been gone for less than a year, and his legend is still spreading in the streets and alleys, so that all those who want to be enemies of the sword and rose should be cautious, it is best to think in advance, is he comparable to Planck, the former king of pirates? If not, when the former sword of death returns, what kind of ending will you face?

Bilgewater is more of an outlaw, not a fool, no profit, but almost certain death, no one wants to do.

As for the plan of the sword and the rose...... Isn't that the beginning of the day? It's not too late to wait until they do that.

The combination of various reasons has created the current situation.

Although Sarah is wise and clever, she is helpless in the face of overwhelming personal strength.

Lu Yang tapped the arm of the chair with one hand.

It is true that Aloy is a domain-level powerhouse, but Sarah has also reached the peak of level fifty, only half a step away from the domain level, plus the blessing of her two guns, and the home advantage, she is definitely not inferior to the lord level in terms of strength.

However, in Davis's description, Sarah was beaten by Aloy, and she could barely stand up to her after using the dark green sword that Lu Yang had left her.

It is rumored in Bilgewater that Aloy was repelled by Sarah, but in fact she retreated on her own initiative. Even if the dark green sword and Sarah's own strength are combined, they will be inferior to her by one point.

Lu Yang had seen Aloy and had some understanding of her strength, but the strength she showed was far beyond what she should be.

Abnormal.

This is still Lu Yang didn't know that his two major stage promotions had enhanced the power of the dark green little sword, otherwise he would be more sure of his judgment.

Naga Kapolos, the bearded lady and the snake mother in Bilgewater's mouth, definitely took it personally!

Of course, it should not do it on its own, but indirectly by instilling power into Eloy.

Aloy retreated on his own initiative?

Hehe, she's not that kind.

She had to retreat because her body couldn't hold it anymore!

The power of a demigod is not so easy to carry, even if Aloy, who is a pope-level figure, is stronger, but if he carries too much and for too long, it will cause great damage to his body.

Aloy's absence from the scene for a long time is the best evidence of this.

The price they paid should be more than that, maybe the snake mother herself was affected to some extent.

For this kind of demigod born from faith, the current Lu Yang is not ignorant.
