In just three days, Fog City was completely unified. Aside from the Red Cloud Gang, there were no other forces in Fog City. At this time, the rogue cultivators in Fog City knew that the city had a new master.
However, this change in Fog City didn't cause too much of a stir. There weren't any large-scale battles in Fog City. Aside from the first two days of fighting, there weren't any battles after that. It was a smooth transition, so smooth that people couldn't believe it.
However, this was true because all the gangs in Fog City had disappeared, leaving only the Red Cloud Gang behind. After the Red Cloud Gang took over Fog City, they immediately reorganized their management of the city. All the gangs in Fog City had unified their rules and businesses. Moreover, just like Red Cloud City, all the rules and fees were engraved on a stone tablet and placed in a more conspicuous place in the city. Red Cloud Gang's rules and fees were all engraved on a stone tablet and placed in a more conspicuous place in the city.
However, what was different this time was that after Zhao Hai took over Fog City, he didn't immediately recruit people. In other words, he didn't expand his army.
Zhao was very clear that the Red Clouds Gang was developing too fast. In such a short period of time, they had already occupied two cities. This matter certainly couldn't be hidden. Previously, he took advantage of the fact that those people didn't know about the situation here. Before they had time to react, he had already occupied these two cities. But after this incident, the forces in other cities must have reacted. He thought that it would be impossible to occupy a city in such a short period of time like this.
Therefore, what Zhao Hai wanted to do now was to digest the two cities that he had swallowed. He wanted the people in these two cities to completely become his subordinates. This way, he could expand his territory. At the same time, he also wanted to prevent people from other cities from coming over to cause trouble.
After unifying the two cities, Zhao Hai immediately improved the treatment of the cultivators. At the same time, he gathered all the people in the gangs who could refine artifacts. Then he took out all the materials in the gangs' inventory and replaced the artifacts of the cultivators in the Red Cloud Gang. Then he gave each of them a set of armor made by the Iron Armor Gang. The quality of the armor was even better than the armor made by the Iron Armor Gang.
One must know that these things cost a lot of materials. Although the gangs in the past had the ability to make armor for their cultivators, the cost was too high. If they were to make armor, then the gang's savings would be reduced by a lot. Even some small gangs would directly use up half of their savings. This was something that the leaders of the gangs were reluctant to do.
But Zhao Hai wasn't the same. He didn't feel any heartache because there were too many things in his Space. Therefore, he took out those things and used them on the Red Cloud Gang's cultivators. At the same time, he also made a suit of armor for himself.
The armor made by the Iron Armor Gang wasn't very cumbersome. Their armor was very special. They had shoulder pads, wrist pads, heart pads, skirt pads, knee pads, and iron boots. Although the armor wasn't cumbersome, it was still able to cover the important parts of the body. It was definitely a good thing.
Of course, refining the armor was also a lot of work, and countless materials were used. It must be known that there were more than fifty thousand Cultivators in the Red Cloud Gang. With so many people equipped with armor, it wasn't a small number. Zhao Hai had integrated all of the gang's materials, and just making the armor alone had used up about half of their materials. It could be seen that the cost of making the armor was enormous.
However, Zhao Hai didn't regret it. After he gave everyone the armor, the cultivators of the Red Cloud Gang were very grateful to him. His actions were very much in line with the hearts of the cultivators of the Red Cloud Gang. Now, no one in the Red Cloud Gang was dissatisfied with him.
The reason why the cultivators were so easily bought over wasn't without reason. This was because the armor was used for defense. A good defensive armor was almost equal to a cultivator's life. How could the cultivators not be grateful?
The armor that Zhao gave them wasn't ordinary goods, it was a good thing. It could be refined into the body, so you wouldn't be able to see it unless you needed to use it. You didn't need to wear it all day long. Armor that could be refined into the body wasn't simple. The requirements for the materials needed were very high.
It was precisely because the armor was so good that the cultivators were very grateful to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also didn't intend to accept the cultivators' hearts and let them be used by him.
Although he accepted the cultivators' hearts, Zhao Hai still didn't expand his army. This was because he was very clear that the gangs in the surrounding cities had begun to pay attention to him. No, to be precise, they had begun to pay attention to the Red Cloud Gang. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't recruit people. On the contrary, he made the cultivators under him pretend to be lazy, as if they didn't have any ambition.
However, Zhao Hai was secretly preparing for war. This was because he was very clear that the big gangs in the surrounding cities were ready to move against them.
These big gangs didn't believe that Zhao Hai could subdue all the gangs in the two cities in such a short time. In their opinion, Zhao Hai must have used high pressure to suppress all the voices of opposition. As long as their army arrived, the Red Cloud Gang would naturally cease to exist.
Although these people didn't know Zhao Hai's identity, they didn't believe that Zhao Hai's strength was that strong. Although the Red Cloud Gang and Fog City weren't big cities, if they could take over these two cities, then it would increase their income. Therefore, the big gangs in the surrounding cities began to get restless.
Zhao Hai had now moved the Red Cloud Gang's headquarters to Fog City. Because Fog City was bigger than Red Cloud City, the location of the headquarters was in the Armored Main Hall.
Zhao Hai was sitting in the Armored Main Hall. All of his subordinates were present. Standing in front of them was Gao Changgong. Gao Changgong was now very popular, he was the Red Cloud Gang's general manager. He was truly under one person and above ten thousand people.
Zhao Hai looked at Gao Changgong and slowly nodded. Gao Changgong bowed to Zhao Hai, then he turned to the other cultivators and said, "Today, I called everyone here because I have something to tell you. This matter is related to the life and death of our Red Cloud Gang."
Upon hearing Gao Changgong's words, the cultivators were stunned. Then, they became chaotic and discussed nonstop. A buzzing sound came from the hall.
Gao Changgong looked at these people and his face couldn't help but sink. He coldly snorted and said, "All of you shut up. What are you doing? Don't you see the Gang Master? Who allowed you to whisper to each other? "
When Gao Changgong's words came out, the cultivators' faces changed. They looked at Zhao Hai and their faces paled. Then they all closed their mouths.
Gao Changgong looked at them and said, "Today, I still have something to say. Next time, if you dare to do this again, you will be severely punished. All of you, listen carefully. Wind City, Dragon City, Gui City, Origin City, and Rain City, these five cities, are now preparing to attack our Red Cloud Gang. They have already finished gathering their people. I believe that it won't be long before they enter our Red Cloud Gang. Today, I called all of you here to tell you about this matter."
When the crowd heard Gao Changgong, there was a commotion. However, they immediately calmed down. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "This is an opportunity."
After Zhao Hai said that, Gao Changgong said, "Did you all hear that? The Gang Master said that this is an opportunity. Maybe you all don't know what kind of opportunity this is. Then I'll tell you, this is an opportunity for us to expand our territory in one fell swoop. If the five cities want to deal with us, then we can use this opportunity to eliminate them. Then we can use this as an excuse to swallow the five cities. This way, our Red Cloud Gang will dominate the seven cities and become one of the top forces on Cloud Mist Planet.
When the crowd heard Gao Changgong, they couldn't help but stare. They looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai swept his eyes over them and said, "Go and prepare. Three days later, come here and receive my orders. Our Red Cloud Gang will dominate the seven cities!"
When the Cultivators heard Zhao Hai, their eyes couldn't help but light up. They looked at Zhao Hai's cold face. They didn't know why, but their hearts were filled with confidence. They believed that if Zhao Hai said that he can do it, then he can certainly do it. Therefore, all of them nodded and then turned around to leave. Only Gao Changgong stayed behind.
Zhao Hai looked at Gao Changgong and said, "How are things going?"
Gao Changgong solemnly said, "Gang Master, please rest assured. We've secretly expanded our forces by twenty thousand. Once the big gangs make their move, these twenty thousand people will immediately be sent out to attack their nests. We'll definitely be able to capture their nests in the shortest time possible."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Five Great Sects have joined forces this time, but they can be defeated one by one. Tell everyone to be prepared. The Five Great Sects have come this time, so don't even think about going back." Gao Changgong nodded, then he bowed to Zhao Hai and then turned around to leave.
Gao Changgong was now extremely afraid of Zhao Hai. He was very clear that the reason why the Five Great Sects joined forces this time was all because of Zhao Hai. After Zhao Hai integrated the Red Cloud Gang, he secretly began to expand the army. This time, the expansion was done in secret, so outsiders didn't know about it. At the same time, Gao Changgong also sent people to the Five Great Sects to spread rumors that the Red Cloud Gang was in constant internal strife and that no one was willing to submit to Zhao Hai. Moreover, he also underreported the number of Cultivators in the Red Cloud Gang, which caused the Five Great Sects to become greedy. At the same time, he also sent people to the Five Great Sects to bribe several Elders of the Five Great Sects. These Elders came forward and talked about the pros and cons, which led to the Five Great Sects joining forces. It can be said that everything was under Zhao Hai's control. The Five Great Sects had fallen into Zhao Hai's calculations from the very beginning. In this case, how could they possibly win?
In the entire Red Cloud Gang, besides Gao Changgong, only the people who carried out these tasks knew about these matters. Other people simply didn't know. In the beginning, Gao Changgong didn't know why Zhao Hai did this, but after thinking about it for a few days, he finally understood. Zhao Hai did this to lure the snake out of its hole. He wanted to lure out all the unstable elements of the Red Cloud Gang. As for how to deal with them after they were lured out, it was needless to say, he would directly kill them.
It was precisely because he understood these matters that he was afraid. He was really afraid of Zhao Hai. He was afraid of Zhao Hai's shrewdness. He was very clear that if he didn't do things to satisfy Zhao Hai, if he didn't do things to satisfy Zhao Hai, or if he played tricks on Zhao Hai, then in the end, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know how he died.
After leaving the Great Hall, Gao Changgong let out a long breath. He turned his head and looked at the Great Hall. Every time he saw Zhao Hai, he would tremble with fear. His fear was different from other people's fear of Zhao Hai. Others were afraid of Zhao Hai because they were afraid of Zhao Hai's shrewdness and methods. In the entire Red Cloud Gang, it can be said that Gao Changgong understood Zhao Hai the most. At the same time, he was also the one who was most afraid of Zhao Hai. It was because of this fear that Gao Changgong was loyal to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai sat in the Great Hall for a while before his body flashed and entered the Space. Upon entering the Space, the frost on his face immediately melted. His ferocious expression was gone as he turned back into the original Zhao Hai. At this time, Laura and the others were still studying curses inside the Space. They were somewhat fascinated by this. This was because they discovered that curses didn't seem to belong to the lower realms. The curses that they learned in the Calamity Realm were just the tip of the iceberg. The true curses that they learned in the Calamity Realm weren't something that they could learn. Even so, they were still able to compete with people from other realms. If they could learn all of these curses, then how strong would they become? Laura and the others couldn't help but feel excited.
At the same time, Zhao Hai was also studying curses. The more he studied them, the more profound they became. At the same time, Zhao Hai was also studying how to incorporate curses into the Scripture of Lies. This was because he felt that the Scripture of Lies would give rise to a new, more powerful spell.
However, when Laura and the others saw that Zhao Hai had returned, they immediately went forward to greet him. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, how are things going in the Free Star Field? Aren't you a bit too anxious to integrate them? "
If you're strong enough, then everything you do will be right. Moreover, those top bandit groups wouldn't care about such trivial matters. In Cloud Mist Planet, there is indeed a bandit group. This bandit group is called the Cloud Bandits. However, the Cloud Bandits suffered a heavy blow a decade ago. Now, they can only control a dozen cities. They have almost no control over the other cities. This time, as long as I take control of these seven cities, then I would have the strength to contend with them. When the time comes, even if I don't use the Space's power, I would still be able to deal with the Cloud Bandits. As long as I control Cloud Mist Planet, then I can slowly swallow the entire Free Star Field. "Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said," Don't worry, the Free Star Field is different from other places. In the Free Star Field, everything is based on strength. If you're strong enough, then everything you do would be right.
