Chapter 562: The Power of the Gray Wolf: The Deterrence of the Blood Sacrifice at the City Gate
As the deputy leader of the Canglang Alliance, today marks a glorious day for our alliance to establish its prestige and reputation. Across this vast land, the name of our Canglang Alliance is as formidable as the cold moon hanging high in the night sky. From today on, this reputation will spread like a prairie fire, consuming every inch of the land, making known to all the people the Canglang Alliance's immense power and supreme majesty.
I stood quietly in the tent. Outside, the cries of battle, the clashing of weapons, and the roars of soldiers mingled into a stirring war song. I could imagine the ferocious fighting going on outside, yet my heart remained strangely calm. For I knew the scales of victory had already tilted towards us.
Since its founding, the Canglang Alliance has been like a dormant wolf in the darkness, always ready to strike. With iron and blood as our creed and combat as our mission, we continue to grow stronger in this chaotic world. Each of our members is a warrior who has emerged from a sea of blood and corpses, exuding a chilling aura. As deputy leader, I have ingrained this dignity and dominance into my very being.
"Deputy Chief, news has come from the front that we have surrounded the special female soldiers team of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they can't escape even if they have wings!" A subordinate hurried into the tent with an excited expression on his face.
The corners of my mouth curled up slightly, and a cold light flashed in my eyes: "Okay, pass on my orders, and make sure to annihilate them all, leaving no one alive!"
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left.
I left the tent and gazed out at the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance. Dust billowed, and swords flashed. Our Canglang Alliance soldiers fought bravely like wolves and tigers, while the Great Zhou's special forces female soldiers, despite their fierce resistance, were gradually losing strength under our powerful offensive.
Liu Mei, the captain of the Great Zhou special forces female soldier squad, was currently being besieged by several of my men. She held a longsword, her posture swift and agile, her eyes revealing an unyielding will. But I knew her fate was already sealed.
"Liu Mei, today is the day you die!" I shouted.
Liu Mei looked up at me, her eyes filled with anger and hatred: "Canglang Alliance, you unscrupulous villains will be punished sooner or later!"
I sneered, "Retribution? I only believe in strength! In the face of absolute strength, everything else is empty talk!"
I winked at my men, and they immediately intensified their attack. Liu Mei gradually began to struggle, suffering multiple injuries. But she continued to resist stubbornly, refusing to give up easily.
"Capture them all alive. I want to let them know the consequences of going against the Canglang Alliance!" I ordered loudly.
The men took the order and began to change their tactics. Instead of blindly attacking, they gradually narrowed the encirclement, attempting to capture Liu Mei and the others alive. Liu Mei saw our intentions and knew she had no chance of escape. So, she made a decision that no one expected.
"Sisters, we would rather die than surrender!" Liu Mei shouted loudly.
As she spoke, she led several female soldiers towards our soldiers, perishing with them. Suddenly, screams rang out on the battlefield, and blood splattered everywhere.
The rage in my heart grew even stronger. Looking at the dead female soldiers, I felt extremely angry. I strode to Liu Mei's side. At this time, she was already dying, but her eyes still revealed an unyielding light.
"Liu Mei, do you think you can escape like this? You are too naive!" I said coldly.
Liu Mei looked at me and said with her last bit of strength, "Canglang Alliance, you will not have a good ending..."
My rage exploded, and I stabbed her in the stomach with all my might. Blood spurted out from the wound, splashing onto my face. I wiped the blood from my face with my hand, and looking at the crimson on my hand, I felt a sense of pleasure.
"Hang up their bodies and hang them at the city gate! Let everyone see, this is the end of going against the Canglang Alliance!" I ordered loudly.
The men immediately took action, tying up the bodies of the female soldiers and Liu Mei with ropes and hanging them on the high poles at the city gate. The city gate gradually became crowded with people, looking at the hanging bodies with expressions of fear and shock on their faces.
"See? This is the price of resisting our Canglang Alliance! Anyone who dares to go against us again will be set an example!" I shouted to the crowd.
The crowd was completely silent, no one dared to speak. I knew they were intimidated by our majesty, the fear in their hearts etched deep into their bones.
"Deputy Chief, we have won a great victory this time and completely defeated the special female soldiers team of the Great Zhou. This is the glory of our Canglang Alliance!" said a subordinate excitedly.
I nodded. "Indeed, this is the glory of our Canglang Alliance! From today onwards, our reputation will surely spread far and wide, letting those who dare to oppose us know how powerful our Canglang Alliance is!"
"Deputy Chief is wise!" the men shouted in unison.
I gazed at the corpse hanging high at the city gate, a sense of accomplishment filling my heart. This wasn't just a victory; it was a moment for our Canglang Alliance to declare our strength to the world. We were no longer that obscure little gang, but a formidable force to be reckoned with in this land.
"Pass the order down, the whole army will celebrate today!" I said loudly.
"Yes!" The men took the order and left.
At night, the tents were brightly lit, and the soldiers sat together, drinking wine and eating meat, celebrating this hard-earned victory. I sat in the main seat, watching this lively scene, and my heart was filled with emotion.
"Deputy Chief, in today's battle, we defeated the special female soldiers team of Da Zhou with fewer troops. This is all thanks to your good leadership!" said a general.
I smiled and said, "This is not just my achievement, but the achievement of all the members of the Canglang Alliance. Every soldier played his or her part in this battle. They are all heroes!"
When the soldiers heard what I said, they all cheered, their faces filled with pride and joy.
"Deputy Chief, the special female soldier team of the Great Zhou is famous for its strength! They are not only well-trained, but also well-equipped and have superb tactics. I didn't expect that they are so vulnerable in front of our Canglang Alliance. They are simply a group of paper tigers!" Another general said excitedly, his words full of confidence in the strength of the Canglang Alliance.
I smiled and nodded, agreeing with his point. Then, I looked around at the generals and said, "That's right. While the Great Zhou may appear powerful on the surface, they are actually utterly corrupt, their military morale is low, and their soldiers lack fighting spirit and cohesion. We, the Canglang Alliance, are different. We are united and determined, each of us striving for a common goal. This is our advantage, and the key to our victory over the Great Zhou!"
I paused, then continued, "As long as we maintain this state and constantly improve our strength and combat capabilities, we will surely become the overlord of this land in the future! Whether it's the Great Zhou or other forces, they will not be able to compete with us!"
My words inspired the generals present, and they all expressed that they would go all out to strive for the hegemony of the Canglang Alliance.
The soldiers applauded after hearing what I said. They were full of confidence in the future and full of anticipation for the development of the Canglang Alliance.
"However, we cannot be complacent about this. The Great Zhou will not give up easily. They will definitely send more troops to deal with us. We must be fully prepared to meet the next challenge." I said seriously.
"Don't worry, deputy leader. We will follow your command. For the honor of the Canglang Alliance, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
Looking at these loyal soldiers before my eyes, my heart was filled with emotion. With such a group of brave and fearless warriors, what else could our Canglang League fear?
"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said! Come on, let's raise our glasses together and toast to the future of our Canglang League!" I raised my glass and said.
"Cheers!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
The sound of wine glasses clinking echoed in the tent. That sound seemed like the horn of our Canglang Alliance's advancement, inspiring us to keep moving forward and create a more glorious future.
The next day, I led a few of my men to the city gate, as usual, with steady steps. From afar, the city gate was still surrounded by a dense crowd, their eyes fixed on the hanging corpse, filled with fear and awe.
I stood in the center of the crowd, my figure erect as a pine tree, my eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone around me. In a resounding voice, I shouted, "Listen up, everyone! This is the fate of opposing our Canglang Alliance! We, the Canglang Alliance, are the most powerful force in this land. Anyone who dares to offend us will be severely punished!" My voice echoed in the air, carrying an invisible pressure that intimidated everyone.
A deathly silence fell over the crowd, no one daring to utter a single sound. I knew they had been shaken by my words, the fear surging in their hearts like a tidal wave, indescribable. Their faces were as pale as paper, their bodies trembling slightly, as if I were an untouchable presence.
"Deputy Chief, should we put these bodies down to avoid public outrage?" One of his men asked cautiously, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
I shook my head and said firmly: "No, let them hang here. This is a warning to those who have evil intentions. Only when they see our determination and majesty will they dare not easily oppose us." I know very well that in this troubled world, only iron-blooded means can we establish the reputation of our Canglang Alliance and make everyone fear us.
"Yes, Deputy Chief is wise!" the subordinate said respectfully, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
I looked at the corpse hanging high at the city gate and thought to myself, "Next, we need to further expand our sphere of influence and attract more people to join our Canglang Alliance. Only in this way can we remain invincible in this chaotic world."
"Pass the order and send people to the surrounding villages and towns to publicize the strength and prestige of our Canglang Alliance, so that those who are willing to follow us will come and join us." I said with a hint of decisiveness in my tone.
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
As time went on, more and more people heard the news of our Canglang Alliance's victory over the Great Zhou female special forces squad, and saw the bodies hanging high at the city gate. Overwhelmed by our strength and majesty, they flocked to join us. Our Canglang Alliance's power continued to grow like a snowball.
During this process, I personally led my men into every village and town, demonstrating our strength and prestige. Wherever our troops went, people looked at us with awe. Our reputation, like thunder in the ears, resounded throughout every corner of the land.
"Deputy Chief, now our numbers are growing and our power is growing. How should we develop next?" asked a general.
I thought for a moment. "Next, we must continue to expand our territory and capture more towns and villages. At the same time, we must strengthen military training and improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. Only in this way can we truly gain a foothold in this chaotic world."
"The deputy chief is wise!" the generals said in unison.
I look at these loyal generals before me, and my heart is filled with confidence. With their support and help, the future of our Canglang League will surely be bright.
Days passed, and under my leadership, our Canglang Alliance continued to grow stronger. We captured town after town, recruited batch after batch of soldiers. Our strength had become a formidable force in this land that could not be ignored.
The corpses hanging high at the city gate became a symbol of our Canglang Alliance's majesty. Whenever someone saw those corpses, they would be reminded of our Canglang Alliance's power and would be in awe of us.
"Deputy Chief, now that our power is so strong, can we challenge the Great Zhou and seize the world?" asked a general.
I shook my head. "The time is not yet ripe. Although our strength has greatly improved, the Great Zhou is a vast empire after all. Their army is numerous and their strength cannot be underestimated. We still need to continue to accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity."
"The deputy chief is wise!" the generals said in unison.
I know that conquering the world is no easy task. We need to be fully prepared and develop a detailed strategic plan. Only then can we achieve victory in this war and realize the grand goal of our Canglang Alliance.
"Pass the order down to strengthen military training and send people to collect intelligence on the Great Zhou to prepare for our next action." I said.
"Yes!" The generals took the order and left.
I gazed into the distance, my heart filled with longing. I believed that in the near future, our Canglang Alliance would realize our dream and become the rulers of this land. And the corpse hanging high at the city gate would become a witness to our Canglang Alliance's glorious history.
