"What's going on exactly?"
Fire Eye gnashed his teeth at his wrist communicator and bellowed.
Rapid gunshots and messy roars echoed from the other side of the communicator. Then, someone shouted, "Boss, someone outside said that they saw Fei Zhong return half-dead and covered in blood. They said that the Black Water Gang betrayed us and was bought over by the leader of Liberty City a long time ago. They never thought of joining A Boxing Champion's army with us!
"The people we sent to the Village of Peace, including Ma Ku and Fei Zhong, have been annihilated by the Black Water Gang's assault. Fei Zhong said that he saw 'Ghost Axe' Zhou Da, a tough general under the leader of Liberty City's command, in the Black Water Gang's territory. Right now, while the bosses are having a meeting, they have dug into the nest of the Red Fire Gang!"
"A * shole!"
Fire Eye roared. "Where is Fei Zhong? Tell him to come and meet me immediately!"
"I don't know!"
Someone shouted in the communication channel. "The situation is very chaotic right now. Explosions and fire are everywhere. I don't know where Fei Zhong is, either!"
There was nothing but dead silence in the meeting room, except for Fire Eye's rapid breathing like an infuriated animal.
Wu Du's face was paler than a dead man's. He slightly pressed the trigger with his finger and couldn't have said more sincerely, "Fire Eye, listen to me. This is a scheme!"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when another earth-shattering explosion burst out outside. A second enormous fireball was rising in the middle of the black fog. Judging from the coordinates, it should be the headquarters of the Red Fire Gang!
There was no need to explain anything.
Fire Eye and Wu Du looked at each other and read the brutality in each other's eyes clearly.
Whether or not there were any anomalies, schemes, or tricks, it did not matter.
Whether or not the Black Water Gang had truly joined the leader of Liberty City was not the key, either.
The key was that the Red Fire Gang, the Black Water Gang, and the other gangs in Double Dragons City had been on par with each other and maintained a subtle balance. Only under such a balance was the basis for the two parties to cooperate carefully.
Right now, the headquarters and the warehouse of crystals and ammunition, which were the most important for the Red Fire Gang, had been seriously damaged. How could they cooperate now that the balance had been broken?
For the Fire Eye, even if it was not Voodoo who did it, so what? Now that the Crimson Fire Gang had suffered a great loss, how could they participate in the battle with A Boxing Champion? How could they compete with the Black Water Gang?
To Voodoo, he could not explain himself even if he was covered in mouths. No matter what he did, Fire Eye would hold a grudge and find an opportunity to stab him. Why not …
Besides, because of the series of explosions, the outside was shrouded in smoke, and the situation was unclear. No one knew who opened fire first, but in any case, Red Fire, Black Water, and the gangs behind them had already started fighting in a chaotic manner!
Fire Eye and Voodoo attacked almost at the same time.
Fire Eye's chainsword unleashed an unstoppable sword aura that split the long table in half. The sword aura struck towards Wu Du like lightning.
Voodoo's storm bolter also unleashed more than ten explosive mystic rays, exploding a series of light balls where Fire Eye was standing.
The small meeting room immediately turned into a forest of blades that were swept by a storm of bullets. To show their sincerity, neither of the parties brought a Crystal Suit into the meeting room. However, the melee combat of fists on flesh only added to the smell of blood and brutality.
The big shots of almost ten gangs were gathered in the meeting room. The bodyguards outside were so crowded that the tips of their noses were almost touching.
Hearing that the big shots inside were already fighting, some of them hurried to open the door to reinforce, but more of them drew their daggers and pistols and began the cruelest face-to-face battle!
The entire Double Dragons City immediately turned into a hellish battlefield enshrouded in the black fog.
Explosions and gunfire echoed in every street and alley. What spread even faster than the explosions and gunfire was a rumor that the Black Water Gang had joined the leader of Liberty City and was attacking the headquarters of the Red Fire Gang with the elites of Liberty City. They were going to kill everybody in the Red Fire Gang to show their dominance and warn all the gangs who dared to join A Boxing Champion that this would be their outcome.
If one could calm down and think carefully, it would not be difficult to discover that such a rumor was full of loopholes.
However, in the black fog, explosions, and the devastating screams of their companions, how many tough bandits could calm down and think?
It was an eternal truth in the Land of Sins that one who took action first would gain the upper hand.
In the black market in the east district of Double Dragons City, the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang, which were next to each other, started fighting first. Gradually, the other gangs that supported them were affected too. Many gangs had deep grudges against each other because of their conflicts of interests. Small-scale fights broke out every now and then. Today, they were all venting out their feelings under the enhancement of fear and fury. It was impossible to calm down until one of the parties was annihilated.
In the north district of Double Dragons City, the Black Water Gang's warehouse of crystals and ammunition was on alert, too.
However, dozens of furiously burning shuttles dashed out of the black fog and crashed into their defense line at the same time. The blast raised by the serial explosions was truly like a tsunami. Almost a hundred bandits of the Black Water Gang were blown into the sky.
It was not until then that the bandits of the Red Fire Gang in heavy armor crawled out of the flames, roaring and lunging at their nemesis as if they were going to die together with the enemy.
In the west district of Double Dragons City, a factory of excitants that belonged to the Black Water Gang was also burning furiously. All the members of the Black Water Gang were on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs. The bandits of the Red Fire Gang pointed at the back of their heads with storm bolters and 'pointed at' them one by one. Blood and brains splashed to the mouths of the bandits of the Red Fire Gang. Illuminated by the scorching flames, their hideous smiles were even more terrifying.
However, their smiles did not last long before stormy gunshots echoed in the sky. A few heavy battle shuttles painted with the symbol of the Black Water Gang covered all the members of the Red Fire Gang with the firepower of more than thirty Six-barreled Rotary Cannons!
In the chaos of the battle, there were certainly some people who were calm.
Some of the captains of the gangs, hoping to preserve their strength, tried to lead their subordinates to escape to the places where the gunfire was sparser.
But they had no idea that a dim but dangerous redness was patrolling in the black fog and releasing powerful telepathic thoughts. It sensed the subtle changes on the battlefield unimpeded in the black fog.
When it discovered that a certain party was about to get rid of the chaos, the redness would accelerate dozens of times faster and flash between the eyebrows of the captains!
When the captains were shot and killed by the unpredictable 'bullets', the remaining bandits would often run around like headless flies and run back into the net of fire.
The red light was like the most brilliant director, or rather, the 'Puppet Master'. It controlled the seemingly chaotic battle precisely.
Wherever the conflict was about to be settled, it would dash over and add fuel to the fire. Wherever the balance of strength was too unbalanced, it would secretly kill a few experts of the stronger party, ensuring that both parties would bleed to the last drop of blood in their confusion.
…
An hour passed.
Inside the luxurious hotel in the shape of a pyramid, corpses that were riddled with holes were everywhere on the ground. Almost everybody was still in shock. The smell of blood was so intense that beads of blood could be condensed in the air.
Fire Eye and Wu Du, the two leaders of the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang, were both heavily wounded. They had almost run out of blood. It was only with the support of their exuberant vitality that they managed to lean against the wall.
Sha! Sha! Sha!
The communication between them and the captains under their command had been seriously jammed. Earsplitting noises were echoing from their communicators. They were completely blocked inside the enormous mound.
At this moment, there was a "kacha kacha, kacha kacha" sound of machinery turning, followed by the sound of tracks rolling over corpses.
In the middle of the hazy black fog and smoke, a tall, cold crawler-type spiritual puppet appeared before them.
Fire Eye and Wu Du stared at the smiling star symbol on the shell of the spiritual puppet in bewilderment. They could not figure out which force it belonged to at all even if they racked their brains.
However, judging from the cold killing intent from the enemy, they vaguely sensed that the unattractive spiritual puppet was probably the source of all the chaos.
The two of them felt that it was absurd at the same time. Was it possible that a spiritual puppet directed a chaotic battle that swept across the entire Double Dragons City?
"What exactly are you —"
Wu Du struggled to ask, covering his abdomen that had a huge hole in it.
He had only uttered two words when he saw that the Six Barrel Rotary Machine Gun on the chest of the spiritual puppet began to flash. The burning bullets stuffed all his questions back into his throat and the back of his head.
But before that, Fire Eye's furious eyes were already frozen. A thin and long red line appeared from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then from the tip of his nose to his chin.
…
The slaughter in Double Dragons City lasted from dusk to the dawn of the next day.
After an entire night, almost all the gangs were uprooted and annihilated.
The bandits who were lucky enough not to be killed were also greatly alarmed. Looking at the city that was brimming with corpses and flames, they were all scared out of their wits.
Before they calmed down and cleaned up the mess, a fully-armed, overwhelming army showed up in the Double Dragons Valley outside of the city. They were the villagers from the Village of Peace!
Yesterday, Li Yao contacted Han Te and Coloured Glaze and asked them to relay the whole plan to Gu Zhengyang. Naturally, Gu Zhengyang did not believe it so easily.
However, the Village of Peace had been forced into desperation. Even Ma Ku and Fei Zhong, two bandits, had been killed by them, and the elite war machines of the Black Water Gang had been destroyed by them. It was obvious that the tough bandits in Double Dragons City would not let them go easily. However humble they were, they would not be able to escape the fate of being cannon fodder.
Then, they could only fight to the end!
At midnight, Gu Zhengyang led an elite reconnaissance squad in person and climbed to the middle of the Green Dragon Mountain to observe the situation in Double Dragons City.
Seeing that Double Dragons City was indeed filled with smoke, explosions, and gunfire, he was both surprised and suspicious, but he vaguely saw a glimmer of hope.
