Book 2: Opening Chapter 139: The Alliance
Today, the number of people on the edge of the underworld who have gathered on Juyi Mountain has exceeded 10,000. If it weren't for Zhu Weisi's support and the gains of annexing other bandit groups in the process of growth, the Octagon Rogue Group itself would not have been able to hold it at all.
Although I don't know how many spies have been mixed in inside, at least the momentum has come out.
And some changes are underway.
The Green Forest Alliance, although it is a grass-roots organization that has not even been formally established, has grown in prestige with the Octagon Rogue Troupe, and its alternative but deeply rooted code of conduct has almost established a unique landscape in the underworld of Southern Xinjiang.
It also gradually bent the form, rules and style of the local bandits.
It's actually quite understandable.
As a robber, killing and robbing is a professional specialty, so naturally it cannot be abandoned, and it cannot be abandoned. Such a crowd directly asked them to put down their butcher knives to maintain world peace, which makes people's teeth sour when they think about it.
But once the heroes are introduced, this meaning that brings the combination of chivalry and banditry, and when there are ready-made examples, everything becomes simpler.
The idea of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the thinking of heroes who roared when they saw injustice, and the packaging of the shameless excuse of emergency relief in the rivers and lakes made the robbers of the Green Forest Alliance have expectations and yearning for the word hero.
Although the work is still changed in essence, the meaning is completely different.
The power of clusters and examples is vast and blind.
Now that I've come to join in the fun.
Then there will be a subconscious thought: if you are not a hero, you are naturally not a brother of the green forest, you are not a hero, and you are naturally despised and rejected by the heroes.
In addition, Luo Xia set up only to charge protection fees for the village, and under the protection of the system of buying roads in proportion to the previous population, the robbers who basically had food and clothing were more comfortable and comfortable.
What's especially weird is that some bandit groups have tried to implement the rules of the green forest. As a result of the improvement of their reputation, the number of people passing by and even some small merchants under his jurisdiction increased, and not only did not let the robbers go bankrupt because of the reduction of tolls and protection fees, but lived a more nourishing life.
This complete material benefit once again makes this concept recognized by most people.
Of course, it also makes more people with a little conscience and chivalrous temperament in their hearts begin to recognize the setting of 'heroes'.
Even if there are still a lot of scumbags, it is much better than before, and Luo Xia has done a good thing invisibly.
As the so-called food and clothing die Y desire, desire is naturally desire.
What is desire, what you can't get but want is desire.
The robbers are fierce and fierce, but they are also marginal characters, and under the premise of solving the problem of food and clothing, the inferiority complex and emptiness of the spirit have naturally become an outlet for desire.
And this is precisely through the self-satisfaction of being a good man, and the awe-inspiring praise of ordinary people who are 'helped and forgiven', which can be greatly satisfied.
It is also the ultimate reason why this Green Forest Alliance not only attracts most of the underworld teams, but also attracts underworld people outside the Shadow Song Forest area.
According to Huo Wu's preliminary statistics, more and more 'retail investors' have been absorbed, and the number of the 40 thieves group is expected to reach a terrible number of 3-50,000 if you count the members in their respective base camps.
If the alliance is really successful, then even if it lacks organization and coordination, there is no doubt that it will become a force that the Black Scale Army and the Shadow Song Brotherhood will not dare to provoke easily.
And this number is still growing as more and more underworld forces get involved.
To achieve such an achievement, Luo Xia himself actually felt a little unexpected.
For the first time, I realized the allure of the concepts of green forest and hero. It is no wonder that the green forest organizations such as Liangshan and Wagang in the history of the previous life were able to grow to the point of resisting the entire state apparatus.
Of course, seeing the terrifying number of underworld forces, he was also full of worries about the scale of the entire shadow song. His plan may not be strong enough to carry it out.
Because compared to his achievements in a short period of time, the Shadow Song Brotherhood, which has long been rooted in the Shadow Song Forest area, and even the entire southern Xinjiang, is undoubtedly much more terrifying and powerful.
Even, even among the tens of thousands of green forests on this Juyi Mountain, if there are a large number of shadow singers, he will not feel strange at all.
The Shadow Song Brotherhood will come eventually, perhaps already.
For this result, he actually has only one left, betting.
Seven days later.
On a good day with a clear sky, Juyi Mountain is full of hustle and bustle, and gongs and drums shake the sky.
On the eighth day of August, the first meeting of the Southern Xinjiang Green Forest Alliance.
With the entrance ceremony like the Olympic Games, the main members of the Forty Bandit Troupe, behind the regimental flag held high in front of the vanguard soldiers, entered the newly built Juyi Hall one after another.
The shapes and patterns of those regimental flags are varied, such as tigers, lions, swords, and so on.
Luo Xia's Octagon Rogue Regiment is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, as the host, its battle flag is the largest of all flags, and it is painted with the head of a black panther. And the original form is the little black next to him, no, the black panther has a big scar on the door of his head.
The Juyi Hall is very large, with a width of about 40 meters, and two rows of giant trees of two people hugging each other are erected in the middle.
Seeing this, Luo Xia also had to admire Huo Wu's ability to do things. In addition to the funds sponsored by Zhu Weisi, the construction of the entire Juyi Mountain was almost entirely built by free manpower and materials.
And the price is only that Juyi Mountain has become Bald Mountain, and a free reputation of the so-called 'Green Forest Hero'. If this guy has the opportunity to join any cult, his demagogy must also be objective.
With the shouting of the announcer with a thick neck, a thick-necked bandit, one by one the bandit groups began to enter according to the strength of their forces.
In turn, there are bandit groups such as Bafang, Wild Wolf, Hehe, Golden Tiger, and Yiqi.
Not only are there a large number of bandit groups in the front of these bandit groups, but the strength of the leaders is also a cut higher than that of other bandit groups, and almost all of them have one or even several brave-level masters.
Especially the Wild Wolf Regiment, which originally did not belong to the southern boundary of the territory, has three brave figures.
If it weren't for defeating the host of the Octagon Rogue Group, there is a high probability that it would become the target of public criticism.
They may have swallowed Huo Wu, a very scummy leader, to the bone. Even now, with the addition of a 'second leader' who appeared at the last moment, they don't take the host of the Octagon Rogue Regiment in their eyes.
The Wolves are bandits from the Rocky Plateau.
The Barren Stone Plateau is different from the three provinces of southern Xinjiang that were suppressed by the state apparatus, and it is located between the Longtu Empire and various small states. Chaotic and disorderly, the living environment in it is countless times more sinister, and the natural strength of the bandit group is much stronger than that of these amateur bandit groups in the country.
It's just that, just like the wild wolf, who says that the bandit group is not strong or not, and whether it is weak or not, will have the opportunity to flow in from the border to make a splash because the goal is not big.
In fact, not only the Wild Wolf Bandit Group, but also several other powerful forces also despise the high-level strength shown by the Octagon Group.
The biggest reason why the Octagon Rogue Group has been able to maintain the situation to this point today is because they announced early on that they would not choose to participate in the first Green Forest Alliance Leader Contest, as the host.
Although this made other underworld organizations a little suspicious, it also greatly weakened their hostility. It is for this reason that Huo Wu, who is very sensitive to human nature as the initiator of 'neutrality', can be left and right.
"It's really a bit of a headache..."Luo Xia and Huo Wu, who were wearing simulated masks, sat on the left side of the alliance leader's throne as the hosts. He looked at the bandit leaders around him and the left and right who were bright-eyed and had different thoughts, and felt helpless for a while.
Most people's eyes are basically focused on him, the second leader of the Octagon Rogue Troupe, who has only recently emerged. He is in his twenties, with a Chinese face, long eyebrows and starry eyes, a towering but not exaggerated nose, a faint beard that is almost invisible, and long hair that is slightly curled.
What a skin with a decadent and melancholy temperament!
If there are people on the earth who like to follow dramas to see it, they will definitely recognize it, isn't this Jiao Enjun's version of Li Xunhuan!
Well, Luo Xia said that he would never compromise on his pursuit of becoming a handsome man.
It's a pity that he doesn't use a flying knife, otherwise Luo Xia feels that his current self is simply handsome.
However, perhaps because he was too handsome and jealous, soon some people couldn't stand the oppression of his melancholy temperament and jumped out to provoke.
"Dare to ask what level the second leader of the Bafang Regiment is?"
"You are?"
"The three leaders of the wild wolf group, Yan Wolf, Zhao Zhiyan. If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency is still at the level of the Blood-Bearing Realm. ”
Zhao Zhiyan, with the unique dull skin of people in desert areas, is not in a big grade, but his face is covered with small wrinkles, and he looks a little old. The dark yellow teeth and the fierce expression of the nature give people a deterrent full of irritability.
"Well, you're right."
"Then, Huo Dang's ability to speak can be forgotten, why do you sit on it, sitting taller than a group of people who are stronger than you."
There was a cheer in the hall, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, and there was a commotion beside it. The leaders of the various organizations also watched from the sidelines, waiting to see how the situation changed.
Although the Wolves are outsiders and are naturally ostracized, since they are willing to take this lead, everyone is naturally happy to see it.
Luo Xia looked at him for a long time, suddenly smiled in the face of the aggressive gaze, got up and said, "You're right, it's really not good for me to sit here." ”
Everyone Lou Lou let out a laugh, and they all despised this little white face who seemed to have nothing but handsomeness.
"However, I'm also the second master, so to save face, I'll ask you the simplest question, and if you answer correctly, I'll give you this position."
"Hahaha, okay, count you as acquaintances, you ask. I see what tricks you're up to. ”
The rest of the people also became curious, and at this time they actually asked questions, what kind of trouble is this? So they all quieted down, looking at what strange question would come out of Luo Xia's mouth.
"If you have ten knives and I take two, how many do you have left?" Everyone on earth knows what this question means, and it's the kind that makes a lot of fun.
Zhao Zhiyan scratched his head suspiciously, looked around, felt that he was being played, and immediately shouted angrily: "Are you stupid for me?" Ask this kind of question? ”
Fog grass! Could it be that this terrier has already played it?
Just when Luo Xia was a little disappointed, Zhao Zhiyan shouted: "Eight! Now, please give way to the second master. ”
"Hey~ good class, Dad, I'll give it to you..."
‘……’
Zhao Zhiyan was stunned, always feeling that something was wrong, especially afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet.
It's really fun to peel it down.
Luo Xia didn't care what seat it was at all, he happily stood up under the strange gaze of everyone and walked towards Huo Wu next to him.
"Hahahaha!!" Behind him, a sudden burst of laughter that broke out out out of nowhere gradually turned into laughter.
The people of the Desolate Wolf Regiment stood up suddenly, their faces were extremely ugly, especially Zhao Zhiyan, who pulled out the two short knives on his waist and stared at Luo Xia's back and gritted his teeth: "You are playing tricks on me!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, stop being angry, am I not kidding? You see, I gave up the position, how could it be a trick on you? ”
Luo Xia explained to everyone in the Wild Wolf Regiment with a smile on his face, and many younger brothers behind him slowly surrounded him to stand on the platform for him, like a bad group that wanted to be angry.
This is a hob meat, blind to that melancholy handsome face!
In the end, this sudden confrontation was pacified under the false persuasion of the major forces. The Desolate Wolf Regiment is not stupid, and understands that if they really do it, as outsiders and the strongest forces, they will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Anyway, they just suffered a little loss verbally, but the Octagon Rogue really lost face, and as the second leader of the host's hall, they were forced to give up their positions.
Some people, however, just like to show operations.
