Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Chapter 276 Nine Insects Gang Leader 1 (2/2)

He had only read two lines before he slammed his palm heavily onto the desk.

“This is outrageous!”

The crowd felt the Gang Leader’s anger and dared not make a sound.

Everyone held this woman in awe.

“Mu Sect Leader of Shennong Sect sent a letter, saying that Elder Jiu Yin and the Shennong Sect’s army had successfully invaded the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, and the situation was initially very favorable, having the upper hand. But suddenly, Elder Jiu Yin led the Insect Master to retreat, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the Shennong Sect’s forces.

Out of twelve thousand troops deployed, less than five hundred escaped, nearly a total annihilation.

Now, Mu Sect Leader of Shennong Sect is demanding an explanation from us.”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader’s tone was filled with anger and murderous intent.

A war that was a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of soldiers, also determined the future and fate of the two sects.

Such a crucial battle and Elder Jiu Yin, for his personal reasons, suddenly led the Insect Masters to retreat. This was a taboo in military affairs.

“Gang Leader, calm your anger. The true circumstances of this matter have not yet been determined, and we cannot just blindly believe the words of Shennong Sect.”

“The fighting capabilities of Shennong Sect are as weak as chickens. It’s very likely they were the ones who lost the battle and are now pushing the blame onto Elder Jiu Yin. Gang Leader, don’t be deceived by their malice.”

“And look at Shennong Sect, having the nerve to play the victim and accuse us first, when they are the ones who allowed hundreds to escape. Meanwhile, not a single one of our Nine Insect Gang’s men made it back, and now Elder Jiu Yin is trapped by the enemy deep within Black Tiger Gang territory. It’s clear who retreated first, even a fool could see.”

“From my perspective, if we can’t swallow the Black Tiger Gang whole, we might as well devour Shennong Sect first.”

Each one of these men was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Allying with Shennong Sect was akin to seeking skin from a tiger.

If Mu Sect Leader of Shennong Sect were here, he would probably be furious enough to drop dead.

“Gang Leader, please dispatch troops to rescue Elder Jiu Yin immediately, or it will dampen everyone’s spirit!”

“Gang Leader, send the troops now, and I’m willing to lead the vanguard!”

“Gang Leader, please dispatch the troops! Elder Jiu Yin’s safety is crucial!”

Most of the mid- and high-ranking members below supported sending troops to rescue Elder Jiu Yin.

These were all men who favored battle.

Now with such a legitimate reason, they were all eager and rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

“We can’t rush into this. If we throw ourselves into disarray, we will spoil the Gang Leader’s grand plan. Over the years, the Gang Leader has led our Nine Insect Gang to grow and strengthen, which is apparent to all. Please follow the Gang Leader’s orders.”

Someone stood up to speak on behalf of the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

“Right, if we rush headlong into Black Tiger Gang territory to save our people, we may just fall into the enemy’s trap. Across the river, the Black Tiger Gang’s camp is deathly silent and supremely composed, just waiting for us to cross the river!”

“Listen to the Gang Leader, we must not hurry!”

The mid- and high-ranking members of the Nine Insect Gang were divided into two factions.

Those who were anxious to send troops to rescue people were closely related to Elder Jiu Yin. There were direct interests involved.

Though the Nine Insect Gang had seven Great Elders, there were truly only two with significant influence.

If Elder Jiu Yin died, the status of those close to him would definitely be reduced, and their interests affected.

Therefore, they did not want anything to happen to Elder Jiu Yin and were eager to rescue him.

“Enough squabbling! Whether Elder Jiu Yin is right or wrong, the person must be saved. As the Gang Leader, I will not abandon any of our members. Outside, the Nine Insect Gang is your most reliable support. However, rashly sending troops on a rescue mission is unwise. If we fail to save our people and, as a result, sacrifice even more lives, our gang’s strength will suffer greatly, and the disaster of our destruction will be upon us.

I will immediately compose a letter requesting the Shennong Sect to send troops at once to attack the Black Tiger Gang.

We will also lead a large army from Wash Crime River, attacking from both sides to hold the enemy’s experts at bay. Then, we will send a small group of elite troops to stealthily proceed to the location where Elder Jiu Yin is requesting assistance and rescue him.”

Though the Nine Insects Gang Leader was a woman, she revealed her immense wisdom..
