Feir’s blood ran cold when he saw Red Lizard and her people aiming their weapons at him.
But Red Lizard gave the order to open fire without hesitation.
The RAT-A-TAT-TAT of gunfire erupted instantly.
The members of the Philinda Clan, having just fled into the open, were crowded together. They fell in droves in an instant.
As the leader of the Philinda Clan, Feir had some skill. He threw himself to the side with all his might, dodging the first volley of shots.
But Red Lizard had already charged forward with her people, engaging the Philinda Clan in combat.
This meant there was no escape for the Philinda Clan.
Before long, Fire Silica and Feisen arrived with their own men, attacking from the rear and trapping the Philinda Clan in a pincer movement.
The morale of the Philinda Clan quickly collapsed, and their formation completely fell apart.
It was a hopeless situation. Feir couldn’t even organize a counterattack.
"I surrender..." a member of the Philinda Clan chose to stop resisting, raising his gun.
It was like a lit fuse. In an instant, more and more members of the Philinda Clan chose to surrender.
Feir wanted to put up more of a fight, but Red Lizard had already closed in with her people, surrounding him completely.
In that moment, Feir gritted his teeth, his face a mask of furious indignation.
"I hate that look on your face," Red Lizard snorted, and emptied a magazine into Feir.
Feir’s eyes flew wide open, filled with regret.
’I was just being defiant, how could they just...?’
As darkness consumed him, Feir slowly collapsed, blood pouring from the bullet holes riddling his chest.
Even in death, his eyes remained wide open.
Nothing about this day had gone as he had expected.
Today was supposed to be the day his clan and their two allies destroyed the Kudar Clan and divided its territory.
But they had all just been playing him.
Fire Silica led his men forward. Seeing Feir’s body, he sighed inexplicably, feeling a certain sorrow for a fallen rival, knowing he could have easily shared the same fate.
At the same time, however, he was also relieved. At least he was still alive.
Otherwise, he had no doubt that if that man had wanted him dead, it would have been just as easy.
Feisen also brought his men over. He looked at Feir’s body and a faint smile touched his lips.
’Just as I expected.’
’So arrogant before, weren’t you?’
’And now look at you, just a corpse on the ground.’
Then, Feisen turned to look at Fire Silica, his gaze lingering for a few extra moments on the electronic collar around his neck.
Fire Silica obviously noticed Feisen’s gaze and frowned, his eyes also falling on the electronic collar around Feisen’s neck.
He was very curious. ’Could it be that Feisen has never even thought about taking that thing off?’
’According to the intelligence reports, that Mr. Lu isn’t even in Dalat Town. There shouldn’t be anyone keeping Feisen in check.’
’Yet he hasn’t done anything, and he’s still wearing it.’
Just then, Lu Feng walked in.
When the members of the Kudar Clan saw him, they all respectfully cleared a path.
The members of the Bubur Clan, having also witnessed Lu Feng’s terrifying power, parted for him as well.
This was a man who wasn’t even afraid of bullets, and now he had taken down the four major powers of Dalat Town.
It seemed Dalat Town was about to be unified by him.
Lu Feng glanced at the surrendered members of the Philinda Clan, then turned to Red Lizard and asked, "What’s the situation with the Dada Clan?"
Red Lizard immediately explained, "We’ve carried out a decapitation strike and eliminated Dalron. As for the rest of the Dada Clan, we had to withdraw to rush here as reinforcements."
Lu Feng nodded and immediately gave another order. "In that case, all of you go and subjugate the Dada Clan now. Take these people from the Philinda Clan with you."
"Yes, President Lu!"
"Understood, President Lu!"
Feisen, Red Lizard, and the others all voiced their assent.
At this point, Feisen felt a genuine trace of admiration for Lu Feng.
After today, the situation in Dalat Town would be completely different.
After all, the three powers that had been locked in a stalemate with the Kudar Clan for so many years, with none able to gain the upper hand, had been wiped out just like that.
Fire Silica had no choice but to lead his men and follow. The circumstances were beyond his control.
As for the surrendered members of the Philinda Clan, they didn’t dare hesitate and scrambled to follow.
Lu Feng, meanwhile, took Black Snake, Hadona, and the others back to the Kudar Clan’s headquarters.
He no longer needed to handle the subsequent matters personally.
Back at the Kudar Clan headquarters, Chen Bo and the few men he had brought with him were already pacing anxiously in the main hall, waiting.
After Lu Feng and the men from the Kudar Clan left the headquarters, they had heard the sounds of battle from other parts of town, like strings of firecrackers, and even the boom of artillery.
They had thought the ambush they encountered earlier was a major event, but who knew that was just an appetizer.
Just from the sounds alone, they could tell how intense the fighting in the town was.
Similarly, the entire population of Dalat Town was in shock.
Because the Kudar, Philinda, Bubur, and Dada Clans had signed an agreement, the four major powers had always coexisted peacefully in Dalat Town.
While there were conflicts, they never escalated to a life-or-death struggle.
But today, they had abruptly torn up the agreement and erupted into open conflict.
The intense, terrifying battle was clearly something that had never happened before.
What on earth had happened in Dalat Town today?
When Feisen and Fire Silica led their men through Dalat Town, along with the surrendered members of the Philinda Clan, everyone was astonished.
’Have three of the clans joined forces?’
’But that didn’t seem right either.’
’What in the world was going on?’
However, secrets don’t stay secret for long, and soon, a shocking piece of news began to spread.
The Kudar Clan had attacked the other three major powers simultaneously. Furthermore, Dalron and Feir had been killed, Fire Silica had surrendered, and the Kudar Clan had taken down the other three powers all at once.
After Dalron’s death, the Dada Clan was left leaderless and disorganized. When Fire Silica, Feisen, and Red Lizard surrounded them, the remaining members of the Dada Clan quickly surrendered.
Facing such a situation with no one to command them, there was nothing they could do.
With the surrender of the Dada Clan, a shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout all of Dalat Town.
The four major powers had been unified.
The moment this news broke, all of Dalat Town was in an uproar.
The four major powers had been entrenched in Dalat Town for many years; everyone knew how formidable they were.
Who could have imagined that something so momentous would happen today?
「In the days that followed」
Dalat Town was far from peaceful; in fact, fighting broke out all over.
Now that the four major powers were unified, the many smaller powers in Dalat Town could not be ignored.
These powers had always survived in the cracks between the four major players.
Therefore, even without orders from Lu Feng, people like Bulin, who had truly submitted, and Red Lizard, newly ascendant, both wanted to see Dalat Town completely unified.
Thus, the smaller powers were sought out one by one. They were given two choices: submit or be eliminated.
How could these small powers dare to resist the Kudar Clan now? Most chose to submit. Some chose to leave. And for those who were looking to die, they were simply eliminated.
At the Bubur Clan’s residence, Fire Silica sat in his room, his expression grim.
The Bubur Clan had been absorbed. His life had been spared, but this left him feeling deeply resentful. If it weren’t for the electronic collar around his neck, he wouldn’t have to be so passive.
So, he had been constantly trying to remove the electronic collar. He gathered his confidants who also wore them, and for several days they researched it, trying every method they could think of. But they found no way to remove the collars.
Perhaps, at this moment, he finally understood. It wasn’t that Feisen hadn’t tried to remove his electronic collar; it was that he simply couldn’t. Therefore, he had no choice but to compromise and submit.
Now, he had to face the same situation.
He tried one more time, and after failing again, he helplessly left the room.
He had just reached the outer hall when one of his confidants, also wearing an electronic collar, came up to report. "Mr. Fire Silica, over the past few days, that Red Lizard and Bulin from the Kudar Clan have swept through Dalat Town."
"They’ve taken care of basically all the smaller powers. You could say that Dalat Town is more unified now than it has ever been."
"Right now, everyone in town is saying that since the Kudar Clan has achieved so much, they might even establish their own nation. Mr. Fire Silica, do you think something like that could happen?"
