Chapter 81: Jia Tianlong
Jia Tianlong, the Golden Wolf, was now brimming with confidence. His usually pale and grim face was flushed with a few hints of excitement.
It was no wonder he looked this way. After all, the wild wolf gang’s lifelong enemy, the seven mysteries sect, was about to fall right before his eyes due to his meticulous planning. As the gang leader of the wild wolf gang, how could he not feel proud?
He now stood halfway up Sunset Peak, at what was originally a seven mysteries sect outpost. Around him were clustered dozens of the wild wolf gang’s red-clad iron guards. These fifty or sixty iron guards were the elite troops he had painstakingly trained himself. Not only were they all highly skilled in martial arts, but they were also utterly loyal to him, with no hint of betrayal.
He had always regarded this group as his most treasured asset, rarely using them in everyday skirmishes. But now, he had brought them all with him to fully intimidate the restless small and medium-sized gangs. Otherwise, the leaders of groups like the Iron Spear Society and Severing Water Sect would never obediently bow to his command.
After all, these gangs never wanted the wild wolf gang to dominate alone. They hoped the two great forces would remain in constant conflict or balance, so they could survive in the cracks between them.
If it weren’t for Jia Tianlong’s lightning-fast move to seize control of the families and children of these leaders, plus promising great rewards, these smaller gangs would have likely already turned against him.
Thinking of this, he glanced back at the dozen or so leaders of the small and medium-sized gangs standing not far behind him.
They all looked dejected. When Jia Tianlong’s eyes met theirs, some glared back in anger, while others avoided his gaze nervously.
Seeing this scene, Jia Tianlong smiled coldly in his heart. Turning away, his mind began to contemplate feasible plans to annex these smaller gangs after taking down the seven mysteries sect.
In front of Jia Tianlong, nearly a thousand people clad in various colors, wielding all kinds of weapons, were fiercely attacking a seven mysteries sect outpost like a wild swarm. Their formation was chaotic, and their coordination nonexistent, resulting in heavy casualties.
But Jia Tianlong didn’t care at all, because the attackers were not from the wild wolf gang. They came from the Iron Spear Society, Severing Water Sect, and other gangs. He never expected these groups to take Sunset Peak’s final and most dangerous checkpoint. His real plan was to exhaust the defenders with their assault, then send in his own elite troops equipped with repeating crossbows to deliver a decisive blow.
At the thought of those military repeating crossbows, Jia Tianlong’s delicate face showed a trace of joy.
The reason the wild wolf gang had gained the upper hand so easily this time was largely due to these deadly weapons in the army’s hands.
Otherwise, not only would it have been impossible to annihilate the enemy’s negotiation team, but the dozens of outposts already taken before Sunset Peak would have cost the wild wolf gang much vitality, seriously harming Jia Tianlong’s future plans to absorb the smaller gangs.
This batch of military crossbows hadn’t cost Jia Tianlong any effort at all; they had fallen into his hands as if from the sky.
Whenever Jia Tianlong thought about this, his heart would swell with satisfaction.
It happened three months ago. At that time, he was at the headquarters planning this campaign when suddenly an officer claiming to be his relative came to see him. Surprised, he met with the man, who indeed turned out to be his cousin.
Years ago, when the wild wolf gang’s predecessor was still a bandit gang, a group was recruited by the government. Jia’s cousin was among them. After all these years, he had risen to the high military rank of deputy general.
Now this deputy general cousin was escorting a batch of supplies to a border town in Jingzhou, just passing through. Hearing about Jia Tianlong’s reputation as the gang leader of the wild wolf gang, he naturally wanted to visit his cousin.
