X-Dragon Era-Chapter 297 - s 226-228: Beginning to Set Up the Plan_3

With a sudden wave of his hand, he halted the pursuit, realizing at this moment... the Branch Leader had come to understand, just like the five brothers had said: if it were not for them showing themselves voluntarily, there would have been no way to catch the foe.

Before this, the Branch Leader had not taken these five pieces of trash seriously. They were no match for direct combat and thus were not even worth recruiting, being so easy to banish. It saved time and effort, simple and relaxed.

Only now, for the first time, did the Branch Leader feel regret. If only he had known how troublesome these five were, he wouldn’t have banished them but rather should have recruited them. Now, look at the mess!

Previously, the five brothers had no way to evade. Faced with challengers, they could only fight back, otherwise, it would be tantamount to giving up their positions—a loss of face they could not afford. Hence... they were forced to engage head-on with their opponents, with predictably tragic outcomes, which failed to catch the Branch Leader’s attention.

To him, apart from their slick escapes, the five brothers were utterly useless. But was the skill of escaping really a talent? Which clan would want people who only knew how to run away?

Yet unexpectedly, only a month had passed, and these five had completely changed, now only willing to strike from the shadows and no longer engaging in direct combat. Despite feeling a maddening itch of hatred, he truly had no way to deal with them!

While the Branch Leader was fuming, the man in black continued, "Heh heh... Now that it has come to this, there’s little left to say. From now on, we five brothers have found our calling. You think your Wild Wolf Gang is tough? We have set our sights solely on you. From this moment on, unless your Wild Wolf Gang disbands, we will sabotage every endeavor of yours.

Just you wait..." Mid-speech, the man in black slowly sank down, disappearing among the buildings below.

Watching the man in black fade away, the Branch Leader’s complexion turned deathly pale. With these five brothers each possessing mid-level Gold strength, if they always hid and launched sneak attacks for sabotage, the Wild Wolf Gang would be in deep trouble!

What was most terrifying was that these ruffians seemed genuinely enraged. From their words, it was clear that, from this moment forward, the five rodents would do nothing other than attack the Wild Wolf Gang unless they disbanded; otherwise, the five brothers would never cease their onslaught.

As he pondered, the Branch Leader made his decisions. Now that things had reached this point, negotiations were out of the question. Not to mention the offense they had caused to these five individuals, the fact that the five had killed fifteen experts from the Wild Wolf Gang was an unresolvable feud.

At present, just relying on the people gathered here was not enough to bring down the five rodents. It was essential to send someone to seek assistance from the gang. What they needed to do now was to hold on until reinforcements from the gang arrived.

Leaving aside how the Branch Leader sent for help, on the other hand... the five brothers returned to the mountain top exhilarated. The recent battle had been too thrilling; they had never experienced such exhilaration from birth until now.

Watching the five in their excited state, Xin Yun gave a slight smile before turning back to gaze at Wave Valley City below. As Xin Yun watched, a dragon shadow leapt up from the Dragon Landing outside the city and shot straight into the clouds, disappearing from Xin Yun’s sight in a matter of moments.

Seeing this, Xin Yun smiled with satisfaction. Clearly... the Branch Leader had realized they could do nothing against the five brothers, and thus they must seek reinforcements!

To handle these five brothers, ordinary people were of no use. No matter how strong they were, if they couldn’t hit their target, it was a waste. The five rodents were truly slippery; if they were determined to hide, then even if the Nine Great Experts personally came, they’d likely not have any solution. Once the five dived underground, they were practically invincible.

Of course, this didn’t mean the five brothers were unbeatable. Going underground was a strong tactic, but not unsolvable. However, the problem now was that the initiative was in the hands of the five brothers. If they didn’t show themselves, nobody could find them, and when exactly they might emerge was anyone’s guess.

Thus, based on Xin Yun’s judgment, if no reinforcements were sent, it would be just fine, but once they sent for help... it would surely be the Dual Assassins! Although these two were not yet famous and held low status in the gang, currently, perhaps only the Dual Assassins were capable of solving such a difficult problem.

In this primitive world, what was most valued was strength, martial power, the ability to clash head-on in battle. Those who, like the five rodents and the Dual Assassins, lacked impressive direct combat abilities and instead relied on tricks and schemes in the shadows to outwit their enemies were very much undervalued.

However, while undervalued, if found useful, they were still needed. The Dual Assassins were potent, not at all comparable to the five rodents. In direct combat, they had the strength to fight, but... they only had one strike. With that one strike, it was either kill or be killed!

Those familiar with assassins knew well that if they didn’t strike, it was fine, but once they moved, they delivered an all-out blow, with speed, power, angle, and timing all at their peak. Only such an attack was effective; otherwise, if locked in a stalemate, the enemy’s reinforcements would arrive instantly, not only failing to kill the target but likely resulting in the loss of their own life!

However, such an attack was supposed to be launched from the shadows, at a moment when the enemy was most relaxed, to ensure the maximum power of the blow. If it were a direct confrontation, the enemy would already be prepared. Although the attack remained fiercely sharp, it would be much harder to succeed.
