Chapter 174: Chapter 174: You Need to Rally the Troops Again_1

Lyu Feng had not had a good night’s sleep.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the spectacle of the invincible regular army of the Barrosa Group, in the eyes of the locals, being swiftly decimated. He was unsure whether he should feel joy for surviving the ordeal.

The next morning, his assistant woke the groggy Lyu Feng. According to their plan the night before, after having defeated the pursuers of the Barrosa Group, they would use the entire day gained to hurry to the Twelfth Nation.

They had already learned about the situation in the Twelfth Nation through the network.

The previous leader had disappeared. After the group-wide parasite removal ceremony was finished, Lieyang, deeply respected by the locals, was commissioned in the face of danger and temporarily took over the leader’s duties.

The stance of the Rebel Army was unclear. Some of their troops were stationed in the capital, not interfering with the normal life of the locals, and because of the name of the Esinvig Army, many cities were spared from being looted by criminal groups taking advantage of the chaos.

In the "outer regions," no one wanted to mess with the Rebel Army.

Even the Barrosa Group did not dare to wage war with both the Rebel Army and the Twelfth Nation at the same time.

Therefore, as long as they could arrive safely within the Twelfth Nation’s territory, the Barrosa Group could do nothing about them.

However, honestly speaking, Lyu Feng felt that even without the help of the Rebel Army, Lu Xiang would not fear the pursuers of the Barrosa Group— the one leading the cavalry last night was the overall commander of all local cavalry forces, considered a devil-like existence in the eyes of the locals.

However, in front of the overwhelming mutated creatures, that well-equipped regular army couldn’t even hold on for ten minutes.

He never thought that being a biologist would be such a terrifying profession.

Lyu Feng wanted to know more about biologists.

Regarding this, Song Lan said, "A philosopher from Teldrassil named Malfurion Stormrage once said, ’You cannot resist the force of nature’. The one who defeated the Barrosa Group wasn’t me, but nature’s force."

The residents of Quicksand Town also didn’t sleep well that night.

They had never seen the Barrosa Group dispatch so many troops, even the Scarecrow made an appearance, these were signs of unrest and war, and the smell of gunpowder was spreading throughout the town.

When the sky started to brighten, a truck full of electronic equipment and an off-road vehicle successively drove into the town. The mottled blood on the truck’s body wasn’t hard to guess what it had been through.

What came back wasn’t a triumphant regular army of the Barrosa Group, but a merchant and his assistant, as well as two strangers they had never seen before.

Did that mean the cavalry, which they dispatched last night, were all annihilated?

What happened next confirmed their guesses. The group parked the truck at the parking spot, three people stayed to guard the goods, the man among them wore a duckbill cap, sunglasses, and a mask. He climbed the tallest tower in Quicksand Town—this was also the only building over ten stories in the town.

The building was built by the Barrosa Group. It usually served as a temporary command center for the Cavalry. The black flag of Guns and Roses fluttered in the wind on top of the building.

In no time, the flag which had once brought them countless fears caught fire.

It turned into ashes within a minute and scattered between heaven and earth.

The four people from the caravan stayed until noon in the town. Besides resupplying, they also strolled around every corner of the town like tourists.

The arrogant cavalry never reappeared there again.

This seemed to mean that the Barrosa Group had tasted a thorough defeat for the first time.

..................

It was evening when the Scarecrow got the news of the Cavalry’s complete annihilation.

After he heard the news, he sat in front of his desk for a long time, unable to recover from his shock. According to information provided by the residents of Quicksand Town, there were no casualties among the four people. They calmly replenished at the station and even burned their flag on the way.

This force, large enough to take down a small city, was effortlessly annihilated.

The Scarecrow was certain that Lu Xiang was not responsible.

In a recent video circulating on the black market, Lu Xiang had a brief encounter with Colonel Perton. Judging by her fighting style, she was more like a well-trained soldier. Being able to annihilate an elite force in the unshielded desert, this was beyond human capability.

This reminded him of someone.

"Public-spirited Citizen".

According to the townsfolk, there was someone quite peculiar accompanying Lu Xiang.

This could explain why Lu Xiang dared to come into the "outer regions" single-handedly.

According to the intelligence they had gathered, the "Public-spirited Citizen" was a troublesome figure that even the Foster Family couldn’t deal with. After the city-wide meeting ended, he instantly became a hero in the hearts of the inhabitants of District 17, but for the crime organizations, he was an ominous shadow.

Anyone who got involved with the "Public-spirited Citizen" either ended up dead or got thrown into prison.

The Scarecrow quickly figured out the purpose of Lu Xiang’s trip.

The border trade line.

The Mayoral Candidate, who was targeted by the Black Hand, was preparing to implement a major reform. In essence, the entire border trade line would be brought under the control of the District 17 government. This meant that the future business of major companies in District 17 would inevitably be under government supervision. Hence, they were all eager to hire murderers.

The actions of the Law Enforcers also demonstrated their stance.

At least on the issue of the border trade line, they supported Aureliano.

The Scarecrow originally wasn’t interested in the political landscape of District 17, but the series of changes that were about to happen would affect the business of the Barrosa Group.

Given Lu Xiang’s style, she was bound to crackdown on the crime organizations around the trade line and considering their current relationship, the other party probably would not give any face to the Barrosa Group. When the time came, they might lose control of this entire region.

As the regional head of the Barrosa Group, not only would he lose a large territory, but the Big Boss would also start to question his management skills.

The Scarecrow was grinding his teeth. His cold sweat was flowing.

Lu Xiang and the "Public-spirited Citizen" must be eliminated, or he could lose everything he has acquired now.

But...

How exactly should they be eliminated?

"B-Boss, we found this in our command center in Quicksand Town."

The intelligence officer trembled as he handed over a piece of paper.

The situation might be much worse than they had thought. Not only were Lu Xiang and the others unharmed, they left this note when passing through Quicksand Town.

Seeing the words on the note, Scarecrow’s eyes widened.

The note said he had a week to regroup his troops. After he finished, they would personally come over for a visit.
