Chapter 3 I. Alliance

Another month has passed since Li Tianhao succeeded in convincing Chail.

During this month, Li Tianhao traveled non-stop throughout the mountainous area of eastern Dils, where the bandits were largely concentrated in the eastern part of the mountainous region of Palch and Port Portsmo, since the trade routes of Palch and Port Portsmo were located in the east. Almost every cottage with a size of more than 200 people has been run by him. As a result, he successfully persuaded most of the cottagers with his characteristic ingenuity of merchants. At the same time, Chail, who learned of the good news, had already posted all over the place, inviting the leaders of various cottages to come and participate in this hero alliance.

On this day, Li Tianhao returned to Kuntalen Mountain again to report to Chail on the progress of his work in the past month. Jimda once expressed dissatisfaction with this: "The big boss simply thinks of himself as an errand for Chail." ”

Li Tianhao's answer was: "The alliance is extremely fragile, especially at the beginning, it is even more difficult, and it takes actual results and time to build full trust." Moreover, the establishment of the alliance is a matter of benefit to everyone, and it is also for our own sake to work hard for this purpose. ”

Such a statement temporarily calmed Jimda's emotions. However, Li Tianhao naturally will not talk about the deeper purpose. Only MΓΌller, Alam, and Elda, who is now far away, know about this purpose.

After listening to Li Tianhao's report, Chail picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, and said slowly: "According to what Brother Li said, there are still several whose attitudes are still unclear, right?" ”

"Yes, the reason why they did not fully agree with this approach was not because they were not moved by the Alliance, but because they were satisfied with the distribution of power after the Alliance was formed. As we expected, the strength of these companies is quite good, although they are not as strong as the strength of the big bosses, but they are all famous copycats. They may have the idea of blackmailing us for the greater good, which is why they maintain their current attitude. ”

Chail smashed his mouth and said, "If that's the case, how should we deal with it?" ”

Li Tianhao raised his eyes and looked at Chair, and after confirming that this move was purely a tentative question, he replied unhurriedly: "These stockades are not as strong as us, as long as they prevent themselves from uniting to confront us first, there is nothing to worry about." The distribution of power should be decided by the alliance leader, and as for how to make the alliance produce centripetal force and become one after the alliance is established, it depends on the alliance leader's own instrumentality. ”

Hearing this, Caire laughed, drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then said aloud: "Not bad! That's right, Brother Li, you just need to be in charge of this alliance, and it's my business to serve the public in the future. ”

Li Tianhao gave a deep salute and said, "In this way, in the next few days before the start of the alliance, the possibility of these families uniting against you will be prevented." ”

Ten days later, almost all the bandit leaders in the eastern part of the Dils Mountains had gathered in Mount Kuntalen. The grand hall of Mount Quintallen was filled with a feast of unprecedented pomp and circumstance, which even Chail himself had never seen. Under the auspices of Li Tianhao, the entire alliance process went smoothly. First of all, everyone agreed on the formation of the alliance, and the question was only who to recommend as the leader of the alliance and how to distribute power. In this procedure, the Emma Mountain led by Li Tianhao is of course fully supportive of the Chail, and most of the medium-sized mountains have also expressed their support. The main dissatisfaction with this proposal was expressed by the chief of Mount Mazaro, Drum, who had a strength of more than 1,500 men, and was the only great power in the Chail. The remaining larger forces that have not taken a position are more likely to maintain a wait-and-see attitude, apparently trying to observe the situation in order to obtain maximum benefits.

In fact, Drum has not been idle in the past few days, and has already reached a verbal agreement with these companies to fight against the Chail, so Drum is quite fearless. The rhetoric of the General Assembly and the demands for autonomy of all kinds have resulted in almost no change except for the nominal formation of a union. Just as he asked the unclear mountains to express their position, his ally Loransis, who was also in the first rank, stood up and bowed deeply to Chail: "If you follow what Lord Drum said, then the alliance is useless, and I think that it is the best thing for everyone to elect Lord Chail as the leader of the alliance, and it is also the blessing of our group." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the whole situation changed. Drum was a little overwhelmed by the sudden backlash of this ally, and the remaining few were shaken by this, and the whole atmosphere began to change qualitatively. Needless to say, this is of course the result of Li Tianhao's efforts in the last few days, and he has discerned from this group of people that Rolance is a wise pragmatist, and at the same time a master of intelligence warfare, and it is pointless to conceal the facts from him, on the contrary, it is twice the result with half the effort to make him a comrade, so he has made great efforts to win over this powerful partner.

Just as Drum was in a retreat, Woolley, the leader of Woniu Mountain, who was known for his brutality and bravery, stood up and shouted: "We want to establish this alliance just to fight together against the purging of the official army, so whoever is the best at fighting should be promoted!" This thing is the easiest, jousting! Whoever wins will be promoted! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. It is well known that Woolley was born in the Palci Martial Sect, and that he became a bandit and fought for others, resulting in the death of a local official. Although the number of his mountain is only more than three hundred, all of them are strong and good at fighting, and ordinary people may not be able to join his mountain even if they want to. Therefore, although the number of people in Woniu Mountain is small, in terms of strength, it ranks among the first-class powerful bandit groups. And with the help of force, Woolley is the most powerful warrior among the bandits in the region. Now he is saying this, apparently to help Drum muddy the waters.

Li Tianhao smiled slightly when he heard this: "Since Lord Woolley said so, he must be quite confident in his martial arts. Then in the next no, please give advice. ”

"I can't ask for it." Woolley leapt into the middle of the hall, pulled out the machete at his waist, and took a stance.

Li Tianhao put down the wine glass in his hand and walked slowly towards Woolley, but his hand was empty. Everyone couldn't help but make an uproar - Woolley's martial arts are famous far and wide, this young man looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, is it so big that he can't fight Woolley empty-handed? Only Muller and Alam looked worried, and even Tatar and Jimda couldn't help but sweat.

"Don't you choose weapons, little brother." Woolley, though rough, was by no means a bully of the weak.

"I don't think I need to, I'm afraid that those who use knives and guns will hurt Heqi." Li Tianhao said unhurriedly, but his footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Woolley's heart was on fire when he heard this: the other party obviously didn't see him in his eyes. Swinging the knife at the moment, Rao is so Woolley still only uses the back of the knife, and he just wants to teach this hairy young man who doesn't know the height of the sky. The knife was swung out, but all it slashed was a void. Out of the corner of Woolley's eyes, Li Tianhao's shadow was already on his right side, and he was amazed at the speed in his heart, and when he was about to swing the knife with his backhand, his right wrist had been grabbed, and then his feet were empty, and the whole heaven and earth were reversed.

Woolley rolled over and got up, only to find that his knife was already in Li Tianhao's hands. Li Tianhao held a knife in both hands, and said with a smile: "Lord Woolley stumbled and fell, and won by luck, offended, offended." ”

The whole hall exploded. Everyone was amazed that Li Tianhao looked unattractive, and they couldn't imagine that Woolley, the most heroic warrior in the Tiers Mountains, could be defeated in just one move. Even Caire was shocked, he originally thought that this young man was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!

Woolley knew that the moves used by the other party were strange, and they were definitely not local martial arts. Even if it is because of the loss of tricks, in terms of strength, the other party is much stronger than himself, and Li Tianhao treats himself with courtesy to save face, and if he is entangled endlessly, it will be even more embarrassing. Although Woolley acted roughly, his brain was not stupid, he laughed at the moment, took his knife, and saluted: "The little brother is superb in martial arts, and he admires him very much." ”

Li Tianhao hurriedly returned the salute: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but I have something to tell Lord Woolley and all the leaders here." Martial arts are only the strength of one person, and no matter how strong one person is, he can't compete with the strength of a hundred people! And we, the Dils Mountain Alliance, as long as everyone is united, this force will be extremely powerful! To control this powerful force, it is not personal bravery, but prestige and benevolence! Therefore, electing Lord Chail to be our alliance leader is the choice that can really make this alliance stronger! Everyone said yes! ”

I don't know who was the first to cheer loudly, and suddenly the hall erupted in a burst of cheers that resounded through the mountains.
