Volume 5 Chapter 8: Bloodshed of the Alliance
The election result of the chief leader was unexpected, but it was satisfactory to most people. The most depressed one was probably Xuehai Wuya. After all his efforts, his plan failed completely. The Thunder Alliance failed to gain the leading power, so he, as the initiator, would not get much benefit. Moreover, with such a chief leader, the future of the Grand Alliance might be bleak! But he had agreed to the voting method before, so it would be bad to slap himself in the face and single out the opposition .
However, at this moment a loud shout rang out: "I don't accept it!"
Everyone looked in shock, and saw iron hooves trampling the world.
Someone immediately asked, "Tieti, this is the result of the public election. You also agreed to vote for the leader. Why are you dissatisfied?"
Tieti sneered, "Why is the result like this? Everyone knows it well. Do I need to say it out loud? Yes, my Iron Blood Alliance is a bit overbearing, but in today's Fantasy, the strong are respected. Even if I use my power to bully others, I am still a real villain, better than you hypocrites! You said you formed an alliance to seek common interests, but do you really plan for the alliance? Everyone knows what kind of gang the Pure Land in Chaos is, and what kind of boss Beibei is. If he comes to lead, the alliance still wants to dominate Fantasy? Pah!"
Everyone frowned. This kind of thing should be known to everyone. If it is spoken out, no one will look good.
Yishi Xionghao said in a deep voice: "So, since Brother Tieti is not satisfied with the alliance, are you planning to withdraw from it?"
"Hahaha... Who said I want to withdraw from the alliance? Of course the alliance must be established, but only I can be the chief leader!"
Xiao Yao asked curiously, "The public election has already resulted in a result. In other words, no one here agrees that you should be the leader. So what makes you the leader?"
“Humph, are there only 17 bosses in Pojun City? Do you look down on other gangs just because they are small? Since this is the Pojun City Grand Alliance, why don’t you invite all the bosses to participate?” Tieti Ta Tianxia sneered, “I am not talented, but I have been jointly recommended by 34 gang bosses to serve as the chief leader!”
There are hundreds of small and medium-sized gangs in Pojun City, ranging in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of people, but the only ones that have influence in Pojun City are the seventeen gangs present today. But from the perspective of "democracy", Tieti's statement is not without reason. If we want to raise the banner of the "Pojun Alliance", we cannot exclude these small gangs.
But at this moment, someone naturally refuted Tieti: "Tieti, don't talk nonsense here. Today, the seventeen gangs will meet and the ballots are written in black and white. As for the other small gangs, we will naturally consider letting them join when the alliance expands in the future. But you said that thirty-four gangs nominated you, so does that mean it's thirty-four? Then I said that if a hundred gangs nominated me, shouldn't I be the chief leader? You are still the boss of a gang, aren't you afraid of others laughing at you!"
Tieti said coldly: "I will naturally show you the evidence!" After that, he took out something from his arms and threw it out of the pavilion. The thing hit the ground and suddenly soared into the sky with a long tail flame and a sharp whistle. It turned out to be a firework cannon!
Red fireworks exploded in the air. In the night, the bright fireworks were clearly visible from miles away. In dreams, fireworks are not only used for celebrations (for example, a lot of them were set off at Xiao Yi and I’s wedding), but are also a means of emergency communication!
Suddenly shouts were heard all around, and little flames lit up in the distance. Soon a circle of fire was formed, tightly surrounding the hill where the pavilion was. A rough count showed that there were no less than 50,000 torches. Considering that not everyone was holding a torch, there were probably 100,000 troops below!
At this time, the shouts of those people could be heard clearly. They shouted the same slogan: "Pojun Alliance, iron-blooded and invincible! Pojun Alliance, iron-blooded and invincible!"
Everyone's face turned pale, no one expected that Tieti Ta Tianxia was so deliberate and had laid an ambush for this alliance!
Tieti said proudly: "Our alliance and the thirty-four gangs, a coalition of 100,000 troops are here, and the leaders of the thirty-four gangs are right below. Do you want me to ask them to come out and prove what I said?"
Xuehai said angrily, "Iron Hoof, I said at the beginning that today's meeting is a friendly negotiation and that force is not allowed. What do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
Tieti said, "This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right. I am stronger than you in force, so what if I offend you? Let me tell you, let me be the chief leader of today's alliance meeting. If you don't accept it, that's fine. I will form another alliance and eliminate you one by one. Then won't Pojun City be mine? By then, your whole family will be wiped out, and all the efforts you put into establishing the gang will be in vain. It's better to follow me to conquer the world. You will get a share of the benefits. You should all think it over carefully!"
I was also surprised. It seems that my previous inference that the Iron Blood Alliance could not unify Pojun City by force was wrong. The intelligence I had showed that the Iron Blood Alliance had been in frequent contact with some small gangs recently, but I did not expect that the Iron Hoof could subdue dozens of gangs in such a short period of time. Now the Iron Blood Alliance has the strength to compete with the other sixteen major gangs!
Everyone was intimidated by the momentum of this iron-blooded coalition. No one spoke for a while and the meeting place fell silent.
At this time, Beibei, who had not yet officially taken office, spoke up. He smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, I don't know why you chose me to be the chief leader. You have seen the result. It seems that I am not suitable for this position. Please choose someone else. I, the Pure Land in the Chaos World, have no ambition to dominate. I just want to have fun playing games. We have no reason and no ability to wade into this muddy water. I'll take my leave now..."
I stopped Beibei and said calmly, "Wait a minute. You are involved in this mess even though you don't want to. I'm afraid someone won't let you leave easily. Pure land in troubled times, hehe, where is the pure land in troubled times? If you don't stand on the side of the alliance, unless you join the Iron and Blood side, the Iron Hoof will not let you go."
Upon hearing this, Tieti laughed and said, "Tiankong, you are right. You actually know me so well. Haha, it seems that you and I are the same kind of people!"
I still said calmly: "I am different from you. I am trustworthy."
Tieti was stunned and said, "Faithfulness? You actually talk about faithfulness? This really makes me laugh to death. How much is faithfulness worth in this world? What I care about is strength. Hehe, I thought you were an opponent who could be compared with me. It turns out you are so naive! Haha, haha!"
"Strength? Then let me show you my strength!" I took out something leisurely, which turned out to be a firework. I threw it with my hand, and a blue light pierced the sky like lightning!
The sound of hooves shakes the sky and the thunder rumbles the earth!
In the darkness, several teams broke into the Iron Blood Alliance's encirclement from outside. Leading the way were all cavalrymen, wearing black helmets and armor, and black cloaks. They even sacrificed some mobility and changed their mounts from white unicorns to black war horses, standard night combat equipment!
They blended into the night, so much so that the Iron Blood Alliance's sentries on guard outside did not notice their approach until they were within charging distance and the cavalry launched a sudden attack. The Iron Blood Alliance was caught off guard by this surprise attack from behind, and the encirclement was instantly torn into several cracks. Subsequent warriors and swordsmen poured in, countless magic missiles and arrows flew in the sky, and tragic wails suddenly filled the station!
In the darkness of the night, the Iron Blood Alliance had no idea how many enemies were attacking them. They only felt that the opponent's attack was so fierce that they could not stop it even for a moment. The knights and warriors cooperated very skillfully, and often four or five weapons would cut into an enemy's body at the same time, killing him instantly. Under their conflict, the Iron Blood Alliance's encirclement became chaotic like waves.
Looking at Tieti's shocked and angry face, I said coldly: "In terms of force, the Thunder Alliance is no less powerful than any other gang, but I only use force when necessary, not to show off like you!"
Tieti said angrily: "Good, good! This is your loyalty. You brought troops to ambush, and you still talk about loyalty. You are even more hypocritical than them!"
"Isn't there a rule against bringing troops to the meeting? But since it was said at the beginning of the meeting that force was not to be used, I had no intention of using these troops. Now your behavior can be considered as a betrayal of the alliance, but my actions against you can't be considered as a betrayal, right?"
Tieti was so angry that he was dizzy. At this time, I threw another firecracker, but this time it was a signal to retreat. When the people of the Thunder Alliance saw the fireworks, they immediately turned around and rushed out. The Iron Blood Alliance had not yet recovered from the chaos, so how could they stop them? They could only watch the people of the Thunder Alliance withdraw from the station in small groups in an orderly manner and soon disappeared into the night.
Actually, I only brought 5,000 men to this meeting. The Thunder Corps has already gone all out and taken a considerable risk. If someone attacks our branch at this time, I really don't know whether the four alliance members who are standing in to defend it can hold it. And this move of mine is also a preparation without use - unlike in reality, dying once in the game only means losing some experience. It's impossible for you to send a large army to kill all the bosses present, and then the major gangs in Pojun City will be leaderless and at your mercy. To be honest, my thoughts are very similar to those of Iron Hoof Stepping on the World. If the final result of the meeting cannot satisfy me, I also plan to use this team to demonstrate my military strength and then refuse to join the alliance - of course, if the Iron Blood Alliance had not happened at this meeting, I would still be able to accept the form of the alliance and Beibei as the chief leader, and I really would not take action then.
However, I didn't expect that the Iron Blood Alliance would use the same tactics as I did, and I didn't expect that the Iron Hoof would do something so big and send out an army of 100,000 at once!
But this will be very beneficial to me. The ambition of the Iron Blood Alliance has been exposed nakedly in front of everyone. Now the sixteen gangs share the same hatred and will definitely form an alliance to deal with the Iron Blood Alliance. I can show the strength of my alliance and occupy the moral status, and I don’t have to be the chief leader who sticks out. There is no cheaper thing in the world than this!
However, after all, it was 5,000 to 100,000. The Thunder Group took advantage of the sneak attack and had an absolute upper hand, but there would be no good results if they continued to fight. Moreover, this was a battle without strategic significance. The decisive battle between the Alliance and the Iron Blood Alliance could not be launched now, so I stopped while I was ahead and immediately ordered them to retreat. But just this fleeting appearance, the Thunder Group has brought great shock to everyone. Since its establishment, except for the two battles of defending the city and destroying the Tyrant Sword Alliance, the Thunder Group has not taken action. The Thunder Alliance has paid special attention to the confidentiality of the Thunder Group's organization and training. Outsiders can obtain too little information. They can only know from the battle record that the Thunder Group's combat effectiveness is extraordinary. But now this legendary army appeared in front of them, just like a devil in the dark night, coming and going without a trace, freely moving among the 100,000 troops, leaving only blood all over the ground, with almost no losses. Such a powerful army really exceeded the imagination of everyone present!
The iron hoof failed to demonstrate, and was humiliated instead. His face had already turned the color of liver. He pointed his halberd at me and said, "Okay, okay, bloody sky, we'll see!"
I sneered, "No need to wait and see, I want you to see it now!"
I was smiling at first, but as I said this, I had already drawn the Tiger Soul Divine Sword on my back and chopped it towards Tieti's neck!
No one expected that I would suddenly attack while talking!
Tieti is worthy of being the boss of the Pojun Iron Blood Alliance. He can gather a hundred thousand people and he must have some real skills. In such a sudden situation, he was able to dodge and avoid the vital neck, but his left arm was cut off by my sword (in the dream, if the limbs are hit beyond a certain limit, it will cause the phenomenon of severed limbs, and the severed limbs cannot be healed with gold medicine and life water, unless it is the healing skills of a high-level priest, or the limbs will automatically recover after resurrection after death)!
He brought a subordinate with him to the meeting this time. That man was a magician. Seeing that the situation was not good, he raised his hand and a chain of lightning hit me!
I didn't dodge or evade, but rushed forward. The lightning struck my golden helmet, making a crackling sound, and tiny electric sparks appeared on the entire surface of the armor. However, I acted as if nothing had happened and kept charging forward, slashing at the magician with a knife!
Originally, the knight's magic defense was not high. If he was hit directly by the advanced electric magic of chain lightning, he would be paralyzed for a long time if he didn't die. When the magician saw me being hit, he was delighted and didn't think of dodging. Instead, he prepared to use freezing magic to freeze me while I was paralyzed. Wouldn't I let him kill me? Unexpectedly, I saw a golden light flashing before my eyes, and then my eyes went black, and I fell into the reincarnation palace!
Everyone in the field saw it clearly. A beam of blood shot up into the sky, the magician's head and body were separated, and then the corpse turned into white light and dissipated. The magician was brought by Tieti as a bodyguard, so his strength must be very strong. However, he was killed instantly by my sword. The title of the number one master of fantasy is well deserved!
The obstacle was cleared, and I continued to chop at Tieti with my third sword. Tieti endured the severe pain in the wound and drew out a long sword to block my Hupo!
I wanted to establish my authority. I was already unhappy , so how could I give him another chance to struggle? I took advantage of the fact that his center of gravity was unstable after his broken arm, and slid around to his left side. I slightly raised my wrist, and my Tiger Soul drew an arc in the air, deftly avoiding Tieti's sword. I rushed past Tieti, and the blade of my blade swept across Tieti's head and neck!
I put away my sword and stood up, then my iron hoof slowly fell down, and I collapsed to the ground, and soon turned into white light. This short battle was so fierce and bloody that everyone in the audience was shocked, and the pavilion was silent for a while.
I said coldly, "Iron Hoofed the World has gone back on his word and betrayed the alliance. His ambition is obvious. I will chop off his head and use his blood as a sacrifice to celebrate the establishment of the Grand Alliance today. From now on, we will work together to prepare our troops, destroy the Iron Blood Alliance, and unify Pojun City!"
At this moment, who dares to oppose my words? Besides, Tieti has completely torn his face with everyone today. I am afraid that the army of the Iron Blood Alliance will come to kill us. If the gangs present do not join forces, there is only one way to go. At this moment, everyone swore in unison: "Now there are sixteen gangs, including the Pure Land in the Chaos World, the Thunder Alliance, the Blood River Sect, the Qingfeng Pavilion..., forming the Pojun Alliance. From now on, we will unite to fight against foreign enemies, share benefits, and bear risks together. If there is any betrayal, the other factions will join forces to punish him!"
Then the sixteen gangs formed an alliance gang according to the regular system procedures, and listed the Pojun Iron Blood Alliance as the first common enemy gang.
After completing the formalities, it was time to discuss the details. Everyone asked the chief leader Beibei to speak first. Beibei shook his hand and said, "I am not qualified to be the chief leader. Please don't embarrass me! Blood Sky is an invincible hero with far-reaching wisdom. It is all thanks to his contribution that we were able to crush the arrogance of the Iron Blood Alliance today. I am willing to give way to him. Brother Sky will take on the position of chief leader!"
Everyone echoed my words. Now that they had seen the strength of the Thunder Alliance, no one would be dissatisfied with me anymore.
But I said sternly, "Why do you say that, Boss Bei? The chief is elected fairly, so there is no reason to change the order overnight. Besides, we are just a loose alliance, and the general affairs are still managed by each person. It's just that when we form a coalition to fight against foreign enemies, we need a chief to lead. Boss Bei is kind and friendly. You are the best candidate for the chief, so don't refuse. As for the command of the coalition, I have a suggestion. We should also carry forward the fine traditions of our revolutionary predecessors. Once the coalition is formed, each gang will put forward a person who is good at commanding and planning to form an organization like the front-line command headquarters. All decision-making orders will be issued by the command headquarters after public discussion. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea. With their own people in the command center, they would not be afraid of their own gang suffering losses. It was better than letting the chief dictatorship. It could also give play to the collective wisdom, so they all responded. Beibei tried hard to resign from the position of chief, but seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, he had to accept the position with a wry smile. However, everyone knew that it was just an empty title.
Next, everyone agreed on the general terms of the alliance. As for the more detailed matters, they were not something that we, the bosses alone, could discuss in a short period of time, so we all agreed to adjourn the meeting. Everyone was also in a hurry to return to their respective gangs to explain the situation to their brothers and arrange defenses to prevent the Iron Blood Alliance from launching an attack at any time. At the same time, it was decided to hold another meeting in two days, when they would formally negotiate specific issues such as the structure of the joint forces, the proportion of troops sent by each gang, and the subsequent distribution of benefits.
