Chapter 1003: Chapter 902: Major News

"Extra, extra, Hades is suspected of declaring war on the Brotherhood!"

The next morning, a sensational news appeared before the people of Oasis, summarizing the recent obliteration of the Skull Gang and the raid on the Garbage Disposal Plant, combined with someone smashing up the Golden Stone Casino yesterday, significantly increasing its credibility.

"Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on here?"

Rosali, while enjoying her breakfast, also noticed the report. She had merely followed suit by kidnapping a member of the Brotherhood, but the blame for prior misdeeds had somehow been entirely pinned on them.

She hadn’t committed any of the aforementioned acts!

She glanced at the Brotherhood member who had been tied to the camp pillar since nightfall, considering it merciful compared to their treatment of captives.

The Brotherhood member couldn’t respond, their mouths had been gagged due to their shouting and cursing last night.

The remaining 11 were tough, even after their leader had been killed, they hadn’t begged for mercy but instead prepared to die gallantly after reporting their situation to their superiors.

However, being scapegoated was nothing new for the Rebel Army, dealing with the United Government for so long, they could even be blamed for global warming.

The night passed surprisingly peacefully.

The wealthy Brotherhood, upon hearing about their people’s ordeal, neither transferred money nor sent a rescue squad, completely abandoning these excellent employees.

Or perhaps in the Brotherhood’s manner, they knew all too well that transferring money was a bottomless pit; they would only drain all resources from the captive’s family, never having a rule to release anyone.

Seeing the Brotherhood members struggling to speak, Rosali pursed her lips in boredom, "It seems my extortion skills aren’t up to par, I’ve kidnapped 11 people and not extorted a penny."

Had she known, she should have asked Song Lan for advice before he left.

After all, strictly speaking, extorting the Brotherhood was akin to robbing the rich to aid the poor.

At her words, the mumbling voices grew louder, their anger evident even through the gags.

"Maybe I should chop off your fingers, make a video, and send it to your superiors?"

Rosali walked closer to them, muttering to herself.

She had heard that this was just one of the Brotherhood’s money extraction methods, crude yet extremely effective. As soon as the captives’ relatives heard the agonizing screams in the video, they would rather take on a massive debt and transfer the money to end their loved ones’ suffering.

"But this tactic seems useless on you, because you have no relatives."

...

The leader’s aggression was exceptionally strong today.

The Rebel Army officer, who came to report, flinched upon hearing Rosali’s mutter—had she been corrupted by those people from yesterday?

But the routine report must continue, as it was in preparation for full-scale warfare.

"Boss, just as you predicted, the majority of the Brotherhood’s forces have left Oasis and headed for the desert region."

This was the latest intelligence their spies in Lute City had gathered.

The elite troops, along with their expensively assembled mechanized units, were heading straight for the Death God Crab’s habitat, the Brotherhood seemingly betting the outcome of this war on that powerful Divine Artifact.

Because of this, they even temporarily ignored the Rebel Army kidnapping them right under their noses.

"Do you need to send support?"

This was the first time the officers had heard that the Death God Crab clan also possessed a Divine Artifact. Considering the Brotherhood’s focus on this matter, their confidence wavered.

After all, there were only two people going to support the Death God Crab clan, facing a private army stronger than both the Brotherhood and the Government forces.

"No need, our duty is to assist Captain Doug’s operations. His team should have arrived in Lira this morning... What about the other Rebel Army units? What did they say?"

This was what truly concerned Rosali.

If the Brotherhood had spent a lot of money securing leaders of Rebel Army factions like Esinvig and Aljom, their future actions would be most difficult.

"They haven’t taken a stance, as usual, they remain inactive. However, a recently formed group called Kunka has responded to us from afar. They took over a city in Oasis overnight."

"Kunka?"

Rosali had heard of such a group.

Formed from the reorganized Expeditionary Army of the United Government, equipped with standard United Government ground troops’ gear, and the only army to generalize exoskeleton armor to every soldier, they were a force not to be underestimated on the battlefield.

Not wanting to engage the Brotherhood directly was one of the reasons the Rebel Army was hesitant, given the Brotherhood’s mechanized troops.

War is different from one-on-one combat. Once it truly started, those mechanized troops would cause significant losses for them.

The officers might survive the artillery fire, but their ranks included many ordinary people gathered from "outside" who had only undergone basic combat training. Their flesh and blood bodies would hardly overcome the wall of technology and machinery.

"That’s actually good news. I’ve heard that Silvermoon Harbor and the Lunar Eclipse Sect are close, and they also have connections with the Barrosa Group."
