68 Cleaning The South (1/2)
'I will clean the south.' Alfred thought to himself.
He was resting in his uncle's house when Dubanov arrived.
”Al, my men are ready. We got weapons from the Magic Hall.” Dubanov said and gestured for the men outside to enter.
Ten men entered. They bowed down and said, ”Boss!”
Alfred knew most of them. They are fishermen and farmers from the commoner's village. These men usually join the underground brawl competition too.
Alfred looked at Dubanov and chuckled.
”Hahaha! Al, do you remember these three?”Dubanov laughed and gestured to the three men to move forward.
”They always followed us before.” Alfred said and smiled.
”Yes, before we went to the military academy.” Dubanov nodded and happily said.
”Boss!” The three bowed down with excitement.
”Nice to see you again. Welcome to the Silver Sparrow Family.” Alfred said to them.
He thought for a bit and looked at the ten men seriously.
”Boss, don't worry. We heard and we wanted to help.” A middle-aged man with a huge built similar to Dubanov said.
He was the previous champion of the underground brawl competition.
He continued, ”Well... what we will get in return is great too.”
”You are right.” Alfred said.
”Our great boss wanted to remove the dirts of the southern district. You guys will be part of our strength.” Dubanov said.
”Boss, what's the plan?” One of the men asked.
”We will let them fight each other before we enter the stage. Cris is working on it already.” Alfred answered.
Alfred told them the plan that he and Cris discussed even before Naga gave the command. Using huge amount of money, people under Cris talked to different gangs and offered financial support to defeat each rival gangs.
Cris went to one of the biggest gangs in the southern district. It is a gang affiliated to a noble from the capital. He offered them some secret information that will help the noble in gaining morw fame. The noble agreed to have a partnership with Cris.
After the meeting, Alfred talked to Benno which is now the captain of the guards.
”I need your help, Mister Benno.” Alfred said.
”Of course, what is it?” Benno asked.
”Your authority as the captain of the guards is not just limited here in the village, right? You are actually a captain for the whole southern district.”
”Yes, that's right. I met the other captain and guards yesterday as well. Most of them are corrupt!” Benno said angrily.
He continued, ”I heard that the boss gave the command already. What help do you need?”
Alfred gave him a big pouch full of gold coins and said, ”We need to bribe them. There will be gang wars in the south. We need the other captain and guards cooperation.”
He told Benno the plan and how the guards will help them. It was a plan needed to dominate the whole southern district.
”I see. This is good enough.” Benno checked the pouch and nodded.
”Be careful.” Alfred said before leaving the guard post.
In the southern district, all gangs are anticipating a huge war that will decide who will be the new ruler.
”Hahaha! We got a backer! Now, we can destroy those dogs of the nobles.”
”Hmph! Just because a noble is backing them. Let's start buying new weapons.”
There are a lot of secret meetings happening now in the south. The recent days are peaceful for everyone. Even the guards are not messing around.
Only the veterans and experienced villagers can feel that something huge will happen.
”Preparations are done, Boss! Tonight, we will attack the Red Snake Gang!”
”We will destroy them tonight! Haha!”
A gang is in good mood when they suddenly heard a bad news.
”Boss! The Red Snake Gang is here! We are under attack!” A gangster shouted at them.
”What?” The leader of the gang and his men stood up. They drew their weapons and went outside.
The leader was shocked when he saw that running gangster was suddenly hit by a spear.
'Argh!' The gangster fell down and said, ”Bo... boss help...”
