Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Chapter 216: Order of Mobilization by Gang Leader Bai_i (2/2)

Logically speaking, the combat power of Beast Tamers is generally stronger than that of Insect Masters.

A mighty beast pet can almost crush the insect pets of several Insect Masters.

The fact that the Nine Insect Gang is so dominant indicates that they certainly have insect pets that are far stronger than ordinary beast pets.

Qin Niu’s Termites are actually quite powerful.

If they transform into Army Ants, ordinary beast pets would likely face more danger than fortune upon encountering them.

He opened the letter, and it indeed was a mobilization order issued by the Insect Master Association.

Unlike the previous situation, this time the order was jointly issued by Chairman Li and Bai Xuezhu, the Deputy Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang. The ending of the order bore not only the great seal of the Insect Master Association but also the official seal of the government.

“Esteemed Insect Masters, take heed. The Black Tiger Gang was first troubled by an insect calamity, and thereafter, Insect Masters across multiple regions fell victim to assassination, with numerous government officials also brutally murdered. Upon thorough investigation, we have discovered that all these acts are the clandestine sabotages of the Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect. The Black Tiger Gang has always been kind and sympathetic to the common people’s suffering, and we have been reluctant to initiate hostilities. However, these two factions are aggressive and pressuring us relentlessly.

Bai and the Black Tiger Gang’s high-ranking members have witnessed our people and crops fall victim to locusts’ devastation, feeling both enraged and deeply pained.

Just three days ago, the Nine Insect Gang suddenly invaded our borders and directly murdered three hundred and fifty-six people in Dafeng Village by the Blackwater River. Victims included men, women, the elderly, and the young, leaving behind a tragic scene of death. Upon discovering the calamity in Dafeng Village, the warriors on our frontiers immediately launched a counterattack, intent on avenging the unjustly slain and seeking justice for the three hundred and fifty-six lost souls.

However, the enemy was strong and well-prepared, resulting in heavy losses to our forces.

Now that the enemy has amassed a substantial force on our borders, the situation is precariously dire. I hereby call upon the heroes and the brave within the Black Tiger Gang’s territory to unite against our formidable foe, to defend our homeland, and to protect our wives, children, and parents. At the same time, one could achieve great deeds, earn official titles, and bring honor to one’s ancestors.

Deputy Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Bai Xuezhu respectfully pens this order!”

After reading the mobilization order, Qin Niu felt a heavy weight on his heart.

He had thought there was only the Nine Insect Gang to worry about, but now even the Shennong Sect had entered the fray.

The Shennong Sect focuses on agriculture, with most of the medicinal herbs used for pill making coming from their territories.

There’s even a saying, “When Shennong prospers, no place goes hungry.”

What does it mean?

It implies that as long as the Shennong Sect’s granaries are bountiful, people from all sects need not fear famine.

A sect that mainlines in farming is naturally not adept at combat.

Just as Qin Niu practices the Life-Nurturing Technique, which is unsuited for battle.

The Shennong Sect has remained neutral and refrained from joining the disputes of other factions.

Its power must be strong; at least, there have been no reports of any sect attacking the Shennong Sect.

It’s unclear why they’ve got involved with the Nine Insect Gang this time.

With the Black Tiger Gang’s crops ravaged by locusts, and now with the Shennong Sect siding with the Nine Insect Gang in a two-against-one strike, the Black Tiger Gang is in dire straits.

If things go wrong, the Black Tiger Gang might be annihilated without a trace left behind.

There will naturally be a reshuffling of power.

The most likely outcome is the Nine Insect Gang and Shennong Sect directly dividing up the Black Tiger Gang’s territories.

A mobilization order is just that—a call to arms. Receiving the order doesn’t mean one has to go.

Qin Niu certainly wouldn’t get heated up by an emotional mobilization order and foolishly rush to the battlefield weapons in hand to fight to the death.

“I must seize the Green Demon’s treasure before the conscription order is issued. That way, even if I end up on the battlefield, I will have one more strong card to play.”

His gaze flickered as he contemplated his future path.

If this round of mobilization fails to achieve its results and the frontline can’t hold, then the Black Tiger Gang Leader himself will personally issue a conscription order.

Those who receive this order must enlist.

Anyone who dares not to comply will be deemed a deserter, subject to on-the-spot execution.

Generally, no one dares to refuse.

Especially at the beginning of the conflict, if anyone dares to openly refuse, they will likely be executed as a demonstration to deter others from refusing to join the battle. This is what’s colloquially known as ‘killing the chicken to scare the monkey.’

Qin Niu definitely did not want to become that sacrificial chicken.

The only thing to do was to increase his power before the conscription order was issued..
