At this moment, there were seven to eight people standing in the hall of the Qitian Ridge.
The leader's words carried a hint of accusation as he said,"Master Kun, although we don't have much of a relationship, when the Marquis was alive, our Red Cliff Mountain had always followed his lead. Now that we're in trouble, I hope Master Kun can take us in.”
"This…"
Yuan Kun looked at the others with some difficulty and said,""Yuan Tong, you are the chief steward of this stronghold. What do you think?”
"Master Kun, joining the alliance is a big matter. It should be decided by the young chief himself. Don't you think so?"
"I know that everyone's life hasn't been easy these days, and it's not easy to make a living. Although my Red Cliff Mountain has been destroyed, we still have some assets.”
The leader waved his hand, and a few lackeys behind him carried out two boxes. After opening them, they were actually a pile of treasures.
Seeing these items, most of the people in the hall stood up, greed overflowing from their eyes.
"As long as the Qitian Ridge takes us in, these will be our membership fees. We don't want to be the pawns of the Qitian Ridge. We just want to take our brothers with us when we deal with the remaining power in the future.”
"Cough cough…"
Yuan Kun concealed his loss of composure and said,"So the Red Cliff Mountain also has a blood feud with Yu Wei?”
"Our current state is all because of Yu Wei.”
"It's rare for everyone to share a common enemy. Yuan Tong, I think it's better to let the brothers of the Red Cliff Mountain stay in my Qi Tian Ridge first. When Little Dream returns, I'll tell her personally. What do you all think?"
"Listen to Second Granduncle."
"Yes, I'll listen to Second Granduncle."
Wealth moved people's hearts. When these treasures were displayed, the attitudes of the heads of these mountain strongholds completely changed.
"Very good. Then give the order for a banquet to be held today to welcome the brothers of the Red Cliff Mountain.”
The atmosphere in the village suddenly became lively.
Calling him Uncle Tong did not express too many opinions. He turned around and softly instructed his lackey beside him,"Call two smarter brothers and keep an eye on them. If there's anything unusual, report immediately.”
The man nodded.
"Oh right, Master Kun, we have some other people on the mountain. Some beggars and some ancient artifacts that we have collected over the years. Why don't you call a few brothers and help us move them up?”
Many people's eyes lit up when they heard about ancient artifacts.
"No problem. You, you, and the few of you, follow the brothers from Red Cliff Mountain down the mountain to move the things. Don't neglect the guests.”"It's too troublesome, brothers. Take this and buy some wine to drink-"
It was a gold bar.
"With such a large sum of money, not to mention joining our Qitian Ridge, it's more than enough to buy a regiment commander from the G Army.”
Yuan Fang coldly observed the situation in the hall.
"The more generous you are, the bigger your plans will be. Yuan Zi, go to the communication station at the foot of the mountain and send someone to Ning City to ask the young chief to come back immediately. I'm afraid that my people have ill intentions."
"Yes-"
The night was like water, and the sentry in charge of surveillance had drunk a few more glasses of wine, so he was already drunk.
In the room of the people from Red Cliff Mountain, a few people jumped up. They were dressed in tight clothes, carrying samurai swords on their backs, and wearing masks. They looked like the Grim Reaper in the dark.
The leader said,"Our mission is to test the newly developed weapons. So unless it is absolutely necessary, we must not kill or shoot."”
"When Murakami-kun was killed in the Qitian Ridge, Professor Masao Murakami had already decided to turn this place into a land of death, and the people on it would die in pain.”
"It is their honor to sacrifice their lives for the Empire's new weapons.”
After saying that, the person picked up a map. It was actually a detailed map of the Qitian Ridge.
"Two people in a group. Here, here, and these places. These weapons are all fatal. First, you must be especially careful.”
"Hi-"
These people were like ghosts in the night, moving like the wind. Even if some disciples discovered them, their necks would be easily broken.
Clang! Clang!
A loud bell rang in the early morning, waking many people from their dreams.
"What happened? Who sounded the alarm?"
"A loud alarm means that a strong enemy has invaded. Quick, take your weapons.”
"Pass down the order. Non-combatants, immediately enter the back hall. The rest of you, go up the city wall.”
Even though the Qitian Ridge was not like a battle machine, it was still orderly when it operated.
"Boom!"
As soon as he pushed open the door of the armory, the explosive device was triggered. The few people in the lead stood there foolishly with dumbfounded expressions. The others subconsciously held their heads and lay on the ground. The air was filled with a faint yellow smoke.
"What happened? What's going on? Why is there so much smoke?”
"This taste is too choking."
As soon as that person finished speaking, he realized that the few people beside him were covering their necks with their hands. Their faces were flushed red as they fell to the ground. The few leaders had lost the strength to struggle and laid on the ground, struggling weakly.
"There's poison in the smoke!"
The man subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, but he felt a suffocating pain coming from inside his body. His body seemed to have been sucked dry by an evil ghost, and he fell weakly.
At this moment, the pale yellow smoke was scattered all over the village in the morning wind.
At this moment, the non-combatants who were hiding in the back hall had the same experience.
Just as they were nervously squeezing into the narrow space, an incense burner on the roof of the back temple suddenly exploded. As yellow smoke scattered, everyone fell to the ground in pain.
"What's going on? Whose prank is it? You must find this person.”
Wu Kun's face was filled with anger. His panicked appearance just now was a serious blow to his prestige.
"Second Granduncle, the people from Red Cliff Mountain have disappeared. Could it be them?”
"Gone?"
Yuan Kun thought of something and said," Let's go and take a look. They wouldn't have taken away all the valuables that were sent yesterday, right?"”
Just when these people only had great treasures in their hearts, no one noticed that the chandelier in the middle of the hall was flickering red.
"Boom!"
At this moment, an explosion sounded from the square and the stronghold.
"Where did the explosion come from?"
"Quick, let's go out and take a look."
Just as everyone stood up, the chandelier above their heads exploded.
Like a chain reaction, several tables responded at the same time.
A pale yellow gas spewed out and instantly enveloped the hall.
