With the addition of Fire Phoenix, Captain Feng's plan went even smoother. Zhao and Fire Phoenix, these two experts, set out at the same time. In less than ten days, they had swept through nearly ten large and small mountain strongholds. Now, the total number of people in their bandit group had reached nearly ten thousand people. These ten thousand people were all young and strong, not counting the old and weak. This kind of speed was really incomparably fast.
However, such a number of people didn't guarantee that Zhao Hai's group would have the qualifications to compete with the other bandit groups. One must know that the strength of these bandit groups was surprisingly high. In the desert, there were ten bandit groups with more than a hundred thousand people. This included the Sand River Stronghold that Fat Cat and the others were in.
Compared to these bandit groups, Captain Feng's group was still far behind. However, it was undeniable that they had become a famous bandit group in the vicinity. Moreover, their encampment had also changed.
However, Captain Feng didn't stop there. They continued to subdue the smaller bandit groups around them. Before the bigger bandit groups could react, they had already increased the number of combatants in their bandit groups to an astonishing 80,000 people in just a month.
Eighty thousand people wasn't a small number. Such strength was enough to compete with the top ten bandit groups. Moreover, there were experts like Fire Phoenix among them. This made Captain Feng even more confident. He believed that with his current strength, he would be able to compete with the top ten bandit groups.
At this time, the top ten bandit groups also reacted. They suddenly discovered the rise of this bandit group. They immediately investigated Captain Feng's group and received news from the prairie that a group of Saber Guards had arrived in the desert. This attracted the attention of the other bandit groups.
Just as the members of the top bandit groups were thinking about how to get in touch with Captain Feng and the others to confirm their identities, they suddenly received an invitation from Captain Feng. The invitation stated very clearly that he wished to meet with the leaders of the top ten bandit groups, and the location of the meeting was Wolfbane City in the desert.
The Wolfbane City was famous because of the Wolfbane Flower that grew all around the city. The Wolfbane Flower was a poisonous plant, but it was very resistant to drought. Therefore, in a place like the desert, it was very common. The people of the desert both loved and feared this flower.
Nobody knew when the Wolfbane City was built. The entire city was made of earth. It had been in the desert for many years. There wasn't a single bandit group stationed in the Wolfbane City. It was a free land. All the bandit groups had been abiding by a rule for many years. That was, they wouldn't bring a thousand people within fifty miles of the Wolfbane City. They also wouldn't start a war within fifty miles of the Wolfbane City.
The reason for this decision was because the Wolfbane City was a strange place. There were many people living there, and these people were rare craftsmen in the desert.
How would the various bandit groups in the Great Desert deal with them if they stole from others? Ordinary porcelain was easy to deal with, but what about some semi-finished products? What about things with special markings? How would they deal with these things? Would they directly deal with the semi-finished products? That would be too much of a loss. This was because they wouldn't be able to sell them for a good price. Those things with special marks would definitely belong to the major powers. If they really took those things to sell, they would certainly attract the attention of those major powers. When that time comes, they would be the unlucky ones.
The craftsmen of the Wolfbane City were responsible for turning semi-finished products into finished products. They would deal with the special marks and even turn some special things into something else. This kind of work was very important to all the bandit groups. This was related to everyone's plan to make a fortune. Therefore, no bandit group would come to the Wolfbane City to cause trouble.
Naturally, in addition to the craftsmen living here, the Wolfbane City wasn't completely defenseless. Although the Wolfbane City was mostly inhabited by craftsmen, it was also the place with the most craftsmen. Craftsmen from all over the continent would come here to learn their craft. This was because some lost crafts could be learned in the Wolfbane City.
As for the craftsmen who came here to learn their craft, they would stay in the Wolfbane City for a long time. At this time, there were several thousand craftsmen in the Wolfbane City. With the addition of the apprentices, this number wasn't small. Moreover, their fighting strength was very formidable. Additionally, they also had the walls of the Wolfbane City as a defense. Wanting to take down the Wolfbane City wouldn't be easy.
Besides being a city of craftsmen, the Wolfbane City was also a city of negotiation. Two bandit groups wanted to negotiate, but no one trusted the other. So what could they do? Everyone made an appointment to meet in the Wolfbane City. Here, they wouldn't use force. Everyone would talk things out. If they could resolve it, then they would resolve it. If they couldn't, then they would go out and fight.
Captain Feng also knew about the Wolfbane City from other people. Because of this, he invited the leaders of the top ten bandit groups to meet in the Wolfbane City. This showed that he wouldn't scheme against these people.
When it came to the meeting, Captain Feng didn't bring too many people. He only brought a hundred people, Zhao Hai, Fire Phoenix, and Hei Tianhu. The group entered the Wolfbane City with a light carriage.
According to the standards of the Saber Spirit Nation, the Wolfbane City wasn't a big city. At most, it could house around a hundred thousand people. It could be considered a small city. But in the Great Desert, having a city like this was already very clear. It can be said that the Wolfbane City was second to none in the Great Desert.
The city was filled with mud houses. These mud houses were all rammed together. In addition to the drought in the Great Desert, these houses could be used for a long time.
In Wolfbane City, in addition to various kinds of houses, there were also taverns, brothels, and casinos. This time, Captain Feng had invited the leaders of the top ten bandit groups to the largest restaurant in Wolfbane City, Rumbling Horse Restaurant, for a gathering.
The Horse Sound Restaurant was also a bandit group. The largest restaurant in the Wolfbane City was called the Horse Sound Restaurant. It was very suitable for the occasion. According to legend, the owner of the Horse Sound Restaurant was originally the head of a bandit group. But later on, when he went out to do business without any capital, he encountered an expert. The entire bandit group was scattered. He took a few of his trusted brothers and fled back to the Great Desert. Since then, he was disheartened and entered the Wolfbane City to open a restaurant.
He didn't expect that the business would get better and better. Now, it had become the largest restaurant in the Wolfbane City. It was also the restaurant used by the bandit groups to negotiate.
Captain Feng led the group and quickly arrived at the Horse Sound Restaurant. Although the Horse Sound Restaurant was very big, it still couldn't accommodate so many people. Captain Feng had Liu Yuangong lead the others to find a place to rest. He only led Zhao Hai, Fire Phoenix, and Hei Tianhu to the Horse Sound Restaurant.
As soon as they entered the Sound Horse Restaurant, a person immediately came out to greet them. This person was dressed in coarse clothing and was very fat. He had a full beard on his face. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like the owner of a restaurant. Instead, he looked like a bandit who killed and robbed.
When this person saw Captain Feng and the others, he immediately cupped his fist and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Today, our restaurant has been booked. If you want to drink, then please go to another restaurant. I'm really sorry."
Captain Feng smiled faintly, then he cupped his fist and said, "Are you Boss Ma? My surname is Feng. A few days ago, I sent someone to greet you. Today, I'm here to entertain some friends. "
When Boss Ma heard Captain Feng, he immediately understood Captain Feng's identity. He quickly said, "So it's Boss Feng. Please come in."
Captain Feng nodded, then he led the three people into the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't very tall and had a total of three floors. The lobby on the first floor was decorated in a very interesting way. There were a lot of wine jars that were thick enough for two people to wrap their arms around. On top of the wine jars was a large round table. Next to the table were wooden stools. It was very unique.
Captain Feng and the others didn't go upstairs. Instead, they casually found a place to stay on the first floor. Boss Ma immediately had people serve them tea.
Captain Feng waved his hand and called Boss Ma over. He said solemnly to Boss Ma: "Boss Ma, you don't have to be so busy. Just go and prepare the wine and dishes that I asked you to prepare. We will wait here for the guests. When the guests arrive, we will let you serve the dishes. Go ahead, we have something to discuss."
Naturally, Boss Ma knew that Captain Feng and the others had something to discuss. He immediately nodded and turned to leave. After Boss Ma left, Captain Feng turned to Zhao Hai and the others and said: "Do you think the top ten bandit groups will come?"
Zhao Hai said solemnly: "Yes, they will definitely come. Right now, in the Great Desert, our Sand Tiger Stockade is no weaker than them. Furthermore, they should know that we have Sister Huo, a Consolidating Equipment Master. They will definitely give us face. Of course, I think they will also want to see who we are. These bandits have their own ways, and they should be able to find out who we are. That way, they will definitely come and take a look. After all, our identities are not simple."
The few of them nodded. Hei Tianhu said solemnly: "These bandits are also very well-informed. Otherwise, how could they rob us? Furthermore, they have been roaming the Great Desert for so many years. The Wolf Spirit Nation has tried to deal with them several times, but they could not do anything about it. If you say that they don't have their own sources of information, I'm afraid no one in the Wolf Spirit Nation would believe it. I think they have already heard about the Wolf Spirit Nation attacking the Blade Spirit Nation. I don't think they will let go of this opportunity."
Captain Feng nodded and said: "It's good that they won't give up. I was just afraid that they would give up. If they don't give up, isn't that what we want? Haha, I really want to see what kind of people the leaders of the top ten bandit groups are.
Just as they were talking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the street outside. After a while, the sound of horse hooves stopped in front of the Sounding Horse House, followed by the sound of people getting off their horses. Captain Feng and the others knew that there were people outside. They all stood up and turned their heads to look at the entrance of the Sounding Horse House. They wanted to see which of the top ten bandit groups had come. To be honest, they were really looking forward to it.
