Chapter 127 - Bandit Alliance (2/2)
”Meow?!”
”I will order Spirit Salmon with butter sauce.”
”Meow!” Kitty nodded his head and saluted to Simon before running out of the mansion and into the wilderness.
”Too easy.”
Now all Simon needed to do was actually figure out what to do with all of those kangaroos. Actually, he had already thought up a plan that fitted very well for the current situation.
”Cavalry.”
'Thunder kangaroos are blessed with speed and explosive power, therefore making them a substitute for real soldiers. All I need to do is train the disciples to ride kangaroos and my job will be done. They won't die as easily because kangaroos are well equipped to defend them and they won't lose too much experience since they are not being babied too much. I believe this is the best course of action.' Simon nodded in his head.
'If only I could actually sleep for more than three hours before being interrupted. It is barely dawn and Wu had to wake me up for this. I just want to sleep sometimes; it's hard enough being in a Cultivation world with some annoying brat.'
Simon stood up and faced the window.
”There is literally no point in doing anything else today. I think I already know how to train those disciples for now. I have also thought of the teachings I will impart on those three new disciples. So for today, I will just rest and do nothing for once.”
Simon went to bed and just slept. This would be what he does for the next day, not waking up once. Because of the amount of annoyances he had to deal with in the past two months, his mind felt like a dumpster. This rest was indeed much needed.
Somewhere else, in a secluded part of the forest, a meeting was taking place between the remaining bandit organisations that had not been annihilated by people associated with Simon.
”Old Wang, our Sky Fury gang has lost 90% of our assets and men because of those monsters! We cannot even identify them because no one ever survives! Everyone dies like ants drowning underwater! How can we launch an offensive if we do not know who we are launching an offensive on?”
”Brother Long, Trust in my words. We can defeat this invisible terror and regain control of the forest. We just need to sweep every corner and leave no stone unturned. If we do this, we can finally reign supreme again!” Old Wang explained with a glint in his eyes.
”Bro Long, this is a war that cannot be fought on the defensive. We must launch our own attacks otherwise we will die like sheep at the butchers. I do not wish for our bandit alliance to lose all of our wealth and lives. We must prepare for a full scale battle and destroy the monsters that plague us!” Another bandit leader exclaimed with fury.
”Do any of you even know what you're talking about?! How do we know that it was a group of people?! It could have been a single monster that has been stalking us like a boogeyman! It could have been a Nascent Soul! Do you all want to die to a Nascent Soul expert?! Are you all f***ing crazy?!”
”You damn right we are crazy! We are crazy because we are losing all of our men and treasures to an unseen foe! Our bandit alliance will lose all that we have if we do not fight back! If we do not launch this offensive, there will be no wealth for us to plunder! We will all die!” The other bandit leader said with even more passion.
”Haha… Han Zhaoming, I knew it all along… you are only advising us to take this route for one reason. You want to take the forest for yourself! If we all die chasing this monster, you can take the spoils like candy from a baby! Do not think you can trick me, I have been a bandit for far too long for those childish conspiracies to work on me!” Long grasped his axe and pointed it towards Han Zhaoming.
”You dare point your weapon towards me?!”
”DO NOT DARE AND FIGHT IN MY HOUSE!”
”SHUT UP OLD MAN!”
And just like that, another internal conflict started because of Simon. Directly or indirectly caused, doesn't matter.
”I, BAO FU SHALL KILL YOU AND TAKE YOUR TREASURES!!!” Another random bandit leader entered the fray.
Everyone died.
