Bagana's Greed

Pero stared blankly at the hellish scene on the street and roared in anger, "Focus all efforts on the Dark Sea Throne! Gather people immediately and pursue them! I want to see their heads roll today!"

Pero's orders had to be obeyed by his subordinates. A group of people picked up their firearms and long sabers and chased after them. At this time, the First Army and Jiang Chuan had already set up traps, waiting for them to fall into their net. The street corners along the street were all rigged with trigger traps by the First Army. Those who rushed forward didn't notice the thin silver threads on the ground, just as they hadn't seen the Grim Reaper's scythe placed at their necks.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two explosions left Pero standing dumbfounded on the balcony. Pero finally realized that rashly pursuing such a well-trained team was tantamount to seeking death. Pero ordered, "Fall back! Tell everyone to withdraw!"

In fact, before Pero gave the order, more than half of the pursuers had already fled. They were members of the Red Hat, but they were also a group of cowards! This time, the Red Hat suffered heavy losses. Those scouts were painstakingly cultivated, and many were killed by the First Army. The number of Red Hat members plummeted this time, but Pero kept the elite troops hidden well and did not deploy them.

Jiang Chuan ordered, "Retreat! Return to the camp immediately and set up defenses!"

The First Army came and went as quickly as the tide of the sea, except that the sea took away sand, while the Dark Sea Throne took away lives.

Upon returning to the camp, Jiang Chuan immediately directed the First Army to build defenses. It was already the limit for Pero to attack twice. The next move depended on his intelligence. If Pero was smart and didn't send pursuers, he could slowly sort out his finances and live anonymously. If he continued to be stubborn, Jiang Chuan could not guarantee that his life would still be his own to decide. Although the First Army was small in number, their equipment far surpassed the Red Hat's. Fifty machine guns were more than enough to defend a position.

Kendi, an old friend, also delivered the ammunition. In terms of a protracted war, Jiang Chuan's side had a natural advantage.

After the Dark Sea Throne retreated, Pero convened a meeting of all Red Hat leaders.

Pero said fiercely, "The Dark Sea Throne has gone too far this time! If we don't annihilate the Dark Sea Throne to avenge our losses, where will the Red Hat's reputation go!"

The head of the Intelligence Department said, "We lost more than eighty intelligence personnel this time. Training these people takes a lot of effort. We won't be able to gather any intelligence for the next few months."

A burly man slammed the table and cursed, "What kind of weapons were those bastards using? I've never even heard of them! The gang suffered heavy losses this time, with hundreds killed by explosions, not to mention those seriously injured and incapacitated."

Pero said, "This Dark Sea Throne has only just emerged and is already so arrogant. I plan to unite with other gangs to encircle and suppress the Dark Sea Throne."

The finance officer said, "Let's not even talk about encirclement and suppression. The money spent on repairing houses, streets, and treating the wounded this time is almost equivalent to our monthly income. We'll have to tighten our belts for the next few months."

The burly man cursed, "Damn it, where did those people get their weapons? The lethality is on a completely different level. If we charge in rashly like this, we'll suffer heavy losses!"

Pero pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to join forces with the Iron Hook Gang to deal with the Dark Sea Throne."

The person from the Intelligence Department said, "The Iron Hook Gang is now a favorite under Gangplank. If we join forces with them, we might not even get any benefits."

Pero chuckled, "We just need to obtain their weapon manufacturing methods or channels. Once we have these weapons, what do we have to fear from the Iron Hook Gang and Gangplank!"

The finance officer chuckled, "I have no objections, but we are running low on Gold Coins. We must make up for the financial deficit this time."

The person from the Intelligence Department said, "I have no objections."

The burly man shrugged, "I don't have any objections either, but those guys from the Iron Hook Gang are not easy to deal with."

Pero said, "Then it's decided. Let's discuss the specific terms."

While the Red Hat was busy discussing matters, the First Army leisurely set up traps and positions on the rooftops at the street corners. The surrounding streets were filled with checkpoints and patrols. Jiang Chuan would know of any disturbance immediately.

Kendi said to Jiang Chuan, "President, they will definitely launch their strongest attack this time. Can we hold them off?"

Jiang Chuan pointed to the traps on the street and the positions on the rooftops, saying, "Would you find it difficult to kill a fish in a barrel?"

Kendi shook his head, "No."

Jiang Chuan laughed, "It's the same principle. Once they enter our territory, they'll be like fish trapped in a barrel. It's up to Pero himself to decide. If he wants to live, I'll give him a chance."

Kendi chuckled, "If they dare to come, we'll let them taste the Machine Gun!"

Pero arrived at the Iron Hook Gang's headquarters. The Iron Hook Gang's headquarters was on the docks. Pero walked to the residence of the Iron Anchor Gang's leader. Bagana was lying on a soft sofa, smoking a fragrant cigar. Bagana always wore his gaudy gold chain, as if afraid no one would know. Seeing Pero stand up, Bagana smiled, "Pero, my brother, what brings you here? I heard your gang's headquarters was attacked today, with many people killed by explosions."

Pero smiled, "Bagana, you know what happened after I left? You're really well-informed."

Bagana poured two glasses of wine and said, "Old friend, you can't say that. Don't you have spies from the Red Hat planted here? Now everyone in Bilgewater is buzzing about this team called the Dark Sea Throne, talking about an Undead Army sent by the deep sea to punish Bilgewater. I thought those drunkards were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Pero picked up his wine glass and sat on the sofa, "This team is indeed strange. Their combat power is extremely strong. They have weapons we can't understand, like those weapons from the Piltover folks. They are powerful, and I lost many brothers because of them."

Bagana swirled the wine glass in his hand and said, "How many people are in this team called the Dark Sea Throne?"

Pero smelled the fine wine in his glass and said, "One hundred people, plus two leaders, making it one hundred and two. But their combat power is extremely strong."

Bagana laughed, "One hundred people made you look so pathetic? You've been around for a long time for nothing."

Pero took a sip of wine and said, "I came here to join forces with you to eliminate the Dark Sea Throne. We can discuss the terms."

Bagana laughed, "I need seventy percent of the spoils!"

Pero sneered, "If you want to rob, find someone easier to bully. Fifty percent!"

Bagana exhaled smoke and laughed, "Old friend, this is a losing business from the start. You should be clear enough about the combat power of the Dark Sea Throne, and you should be even clearer about the power of their thrown bombs. This battle will be fought with piles of corpses. My men are all skilled fighters, and I can't afford such a consumption."

Pero said, "Don't you have cannons? Let's bring out our cannons and fire a few shots at them. The losses won't be too great."

Bagana burst into laughter, "Judging by the bombs they threw at your headquarters, they don't care about consumption. But our cannons do. Not to mention the power difference, just firing the cannons would bankrupt both of us. You know the price of steel. We have to prepare for a long time before using the cannons. My cannonball reserves are not abundant right now."

Pero took a sip of wine, his red eyes fixed on Bagana, and said fiercely, "I'll provide the cannonballs. Sixty percent! That's my bottom line, Bagana!"

Bagana smiled, "Don't be angry, old friend. I will definitely help you. Have dinner with me tonight, and we'll discuss the detailed plan."
