Chapter 134: Mysterious Forces (4000 words)
The cloak fluttered, a ray of sunlight shone on it, and Angela stepped on Anglev's shoulder with one foot and Angreve's hip with the other, pressing his large and heavy body and falling heavily.
Bang!
The ground trembled, and a circle of yellow sand lined up, then raised.
The cloak slowly fell, and Angela struggled to draw her sword, and the blood gushed out again, and there was a little white, making the whole helmet even dirtier.
Angela bent down and pulled the cloak that Angrev had pressed underneath her, carefully wiping the blood from the black sword.
Because every time Angela makes a shot, it means that there is an extra danger of exposure, so under normal circumstances, she can not make a move.
And this time, it didn't have to be Angela's move, but the plan went wrong, but I didn't expect such a big change to happen, resulting in the failure of the entire coalition raid before the confrontation.
So, Sophia, who was hiding in the dark, sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to notify Angela and activate the backup plan.
Then, Angela came here as planned, and Aglius led Angelev over.
In a one-on-one duel, Angela kills Angeleff, minimizing the risk of exposure since no one is witnessing.
As for Aglius and Sophia, this is when Angela and Angel are facing off, and the soldiers are divided into two ways to carry out the harvest plan.
Sophia is in charge of controlling Anglev's mansion, while Achilles is in charge of sweeping Orff's territory.
There was no big trouble on Sophia's side, the Ironclads had been wiped out, and when Anglev's body was found, Sophia took over everything from Anglev to Angrev very smoothly.
Of course, even if it went very well, Sophia grabbed more than 30 of them and hung them on a pillar at the intersection of the stone forest to dry them.
Among the more than 30 people, half of them were arrested for trying to steal property and escape during the transfer of power, and the other half were arrested because they needed to make an example of chickens and monkeys and incidentally announce personal vendettas.
On the side of Agreus, it didn't go so well.
Orff is indeed the leader of a force, but his men are also mountainous.
Orff can only be the leader because he has the most people and can fight the most, and once someone can fight more than him, it will naturally replace Orff, of course, this process produces bloodshed is a fixed project.
It is also because of this that although Orff was defeated, Orff's caravan still had the strength to resist.
Aglius attacked the garrison of the Orff caravan, but he didn't take it down in the first place.
Later, Agthius became ruthless and directly blocked a block near the station, trapping people inside.
Three days, three days of waiting.
In the past three days, there have been people outside who have been trying to rescue the people inside, and people inside have been organizing charges in an attempt to run out.
In all this, Aglius relied on his own strength and the strong combat power of his newly built warband (the group trained by the skeletons) to block the onslaught of this wave, and three days later, due to the lack of water, the people inside surrendered.
However, even so, Aglius was not able to completely take over Orff's caravan, and some of them defected to other forces.
Half a month later, Ake Amu City was reshuffled, and the Ake Amu Business Group was established.
However, this does not mean that Angela can collect her money with peace of mind, because a new crisis is coming.
This time, the crisis did not come from inside the city of Akeam, but from outside.
The Vulture Bandits, the old rivals of Ake Amu City.
Once, the fledgling Anglev's first stop in fame was the defeat of the vulture bandits, and in that battle he proved his strength, and then a large number of people came to take refuge, and almost all the caravans in the city of Akam threw an olive branch to him.
In just one year, Angrev went from a young stonemason to the leader of a caravan with this feat.
The Vulture Bandits were defeated by the Angreev, not because they were weak, but because the Angrev was too strong.
At that time, Anglev was as powerful as an ox and as agile as an ape, leading ten strong stonemasons who had a deep hatred for the vulture bandits, and with the help of the stone forest with complex terrain, they launched an attack on the vulture bandits at night.
And that night, the vulture bandits came out after the wanton rage in Akam, camped in a clearing in the stone forest, and they robbed a large amount of money and water, and after eating and drinking, they were sleeping with other people's wives in their arms.
They definitely didn't expect that Akeam, who had been bullied by them for more than 20 years, would dare to resist, so they didn't take much defense.
As a result, the 6 vulture bandit night watchmen were stoned to death before they could react.
Angelev was the first to storm the camping tent, and smashed to death the leader of the vulture bandits, Old Vulture, while the others set fire to it.
The vulture bandits were taken by surprise, and when they reacted, not only the leader was dead, but more than 30 people either died on the stonemason's hammer stone, or died in the fire.
The rest of the robbers gathered, and they were furious, vowing to kill the attackers, and chased Angrev into the stone forest.
Angrev was very calm and commanding, leading ten stonemasons with more than 200 robbers to walk in the stone forest.
Lure, trap, ambush, and a series of three-plank axes, more than 200 robbers were lost in the stone forest, and they found that there were fewer and fewer people around them, and more and more corpses on the ground, so they were timid and collapsed.
In the end, more than 50 robbers escaped from the stone forest in disarray, and Angrev won a complete victory.
However, Anglev's victory also came at a great cost.
Three of his stonemason brothers died in battle, five of the remaining seven were seriously wounded and died within two days, and the remaining two were crippled and unable to fight.
As for Anglev, he was covered in blood, wounds all over his body, dense and extremely terrifying, and people at the time believed that it was a miracle that Anglev survived.
And before Angrev, the entire Ake Amu was no match for the vulture bandits.
And after Anglev, even Anglev wanted to completely exterminate the vulture bandits, and the vulture bandits were still a big problem for Akam.
So, when a threatening letter and the dried corpses of all the members of a small caravan were found strung on a wooden stake at the entrance to the stone forest, the whole of Ake Amu was in a state of turmoil.
More than 20 years have passed, and the little vulture that escaped from the stone forest in embarrassment has also become an old vulture, and in these more than 20 years of recuperation, the old vulture has cultivated 13 cunning and cruel sons and 300 fierce robbers, and they are even stronger than 20 years ago.
Agreus looked at the letter at the table, his brow furrowed deeply.
The letter was made of a wolf's skin, and the words on it were dark red, exuding a faint fishy smell, presumably in blood.
In the lower right corner of the letter, a vulture is drawn with a gray feather attached, which is the custom of vulture bandits.
The font is very sloppy, and it seems that the other party does not write often, and Agreus struggles to read it.
He never learned how to write since he was a child, and later joined the caravan, barely learned some, and then was later favored by Angela, and in addition to practicing every day, he was forced to read some books, so he could handle some official business.
But none of these official duties will be so sloppy if they don't try to write the font as good as possible to make it easy to confirm.
After reading the letter with a frown, Agreus's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
It was a blackmail letter addressed to him, threatening to ask for half of the money from the stone business in Akeam.
The reason why Akam City exists is, first of all, the abundant underground water resources compared to other places, and secondly, the stone business.
There are a lot of stones in Aka Mu City, not only the strange rocks on the ground, which wrap the whole city and spread to the surrounding area for more than ten miles, but also the underground is also full of stones.
As a result, almost half of the population of the entire city of Akeam is engaged in quarrying.
And the rest, most of them, are engaged in caravans and related work.
It can be said that in the entire city of Akam, more than half of the caravans relied on transporting stones from outside, and then brought back the grain from outside to earn the difference.
The Vulture Bandit Regiment is digging the roots of Akam City.
Today, the city of Akeam has been occupied by the Akeamu merchant group.
Every year, a great deal of wealth is concentrated in the Akeam merchant group, which is then sent to Angela's laboratory.
As Angela's lackey, Aglius will gain a certain amount of wealth in the process, and will also obtain some "precious items (waste)" from Angela's laboratory, and at the same time, he will also ensure his status above 10,000 people under him.
Therefore, Aglius would never allow anyone to spoil this hard-won situation.
With one person in mind, Agreus gathered all the minor bosses and Sophia's party.
Today, Sophia's status is rather peculiar.
Nominally, she was Aglius' subordinate and fiancΓ©e.
At the same time, she was favored by Angela, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Angela's surgery will be undertaken.
So, on another level, she is on an equal footing with Agreus and belongs to Agreus's rivals.
Vaguely, Achilles sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop it, because on the night of the attack on Angrev's mansion, his plan obviously failed, and it was Sophia's backup plan that was set in motion that turned the tide.
Plus, now he's pursuing Sophia, so it's even more unstoppable.
"I called you here, I guess you know what the reason is!"
Aglius pressed his hands on the table and stood up.
He learned this posture from Anglev, and every time Anglev stood up like this, the huge body looked even bigger, giving people an incomparable sense of oppression.
Aglius is not as oppressive as Angreev, but he is not less oppressive.
Seeing the people below nodding, Achilles didn't care whether they really knew or not, and continued: "Tell me, everyone, what should we do with those vultures?" β
"In fact, we're not afraid of vultures." A strong man below said in a deep voice.
This strong man is bald, with deep sunken eyes, and a face full of meat, and he is not a good person at first glance, and his face should be quite irritable, but in fact, on the contrary, his character is dull, and calm, and rarely angry, often like an iron statue, as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
His name is Iron Palm, and he is also the group of people who were captured and trained by Angela, and his strength is not as good as Aglius, nor as good as Acre and Dam, but his status is not inferior to Acre and Dam.
He was the small leader of the eight strong men who wielded shields and spears in the Agreus Warband, and once commanded Agreus in the trials of Agreus, and once forced Agreus into a corner.
Later, in the battle of stopping the army, he resisted the ironclad army, annihilated its entire army, and finally killed the steel teeth with a hammer.
Compared to thugs like Ake and Dam, who rely on their skills and stunts to eat, and he eats with his head, which is a little inconsistent with his figure.
Iron Palm's words surprised everyone, they didn't understand why Iron Palm said this, because Iron Palm is a doer, and he will not say anything to underestimate the enemy in order to boost morale.
Agthius trusted the wisdom of Iron Palm very much, and after being taken aback, his eyes glanced at the corners of Sophia's mouth that seemed to be smiling, and it seemed that Sophia agreed with Iron Palm's words, and suddenly felt that his IQ was a little insufficient, and he couldn't understand why they thought that it was not terrible to make the entire vulture bandit group of Akami rumble with just a few corpses and a letter.
However, since Sophia agrees, it seems that the vulture bandits are not terrible.
Expressionless, Agreus said, "Iron Palm, continue to speak." β
"Chief." Iron Palm said: "Actually, you have been ignoring one point, we have all ignored one point, Akamu has always had a powerful force, and they are the masters of Akamu, not us. β
"What!" Agreus was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" β
He has been living in Akam for so many years, but he has never known it.
At this time, Sophia spoke: "You are really unqualified as a leader, think about it carefully, think about why Iron Palm's parents gave Iron Palm such a name." β
"I know that." "Because the father of the iron palms wanted to make more money by attaching a pair of iron palms," said Aglius. β
Iron Palm's father was a stonemason, and this work of a stonemason requires a pair of extremely tough palms and a body of strength, which are the two most important, and as for the technique, it can be honed slowly.
With a good palm, you can grasp the tools, work longer hours a day, earn more money, and suffer less sin.
It is also for this reason that Tiezhang's father gave Tiezhang such a name, which is a good wish from his father.
It's just that later, in order to treat his father's illness, Tiezhang joined the merchant group and made money by licking blood from the knife, but later failed to save his father's life.
"But ......," said Agreus hesitantly, "what does this have to do with that mysterious force?" β
