Chapter 144 Bandits



"Uncle Chris!"

A little girl skipped and hopped toward Su Qing, her clear, bright eyes filled with excitement.

"What games are we going to play today? Like last time, touching everything indiscriminately?"

Su Qing looked at the other person in silence. What the other person said was a bit unreasonable. She was clearly a legitimate dragon.

"That's called groping in the dark. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Su Qing corrected the girl's description and continued, "We're not playing this today. How about playing chess with Uncle?"

Having been detained for over ten days, Su Qing remained remarkably calm.

During this time, watching the people in the city being evacuated in batches, he realized that the leader of this Sea Ghost City was not so brainless and knew that he might face retaliation.

But where can you run off to? Su Qing has already set his sights on this entire wilderness. Although it can't be cultivated into farmland, once the roads are built, it can be used to build factories and develop the ocean. The future prosperity here will definitely not be inferior to those fertile places.

In order to ensure the safety of this land, after taking over the wilderness, it was essential to measure the fields and eliminate bandits.

So no matter how well they hide, they will be caught sooner or later.

However, these things are not urgent for now. Su Qing is playing games with the little girl in front of her.

A chessboard carved from wood, in a 4x4 format, with each player holding four pieces, the game is about seeing who can get to the other side first.

The game was so simple that Su Qing couldn't even remember its name, but it was enough to entertain the little girl.

Soon, in several games in a row, Su Qing won every single one!

According to the rules of the game they set, the little girl had to give Su Qing a copper coin each time.

Su Qing hadn't been idle for the past ten days or so; he had at least won a considerable amount of money from this little girl.

I heard that he's almost emptied the little girl's piggy bank.

Su Qing pried open the little girl's fingers, took out the copper coin, and happily put it away.

"Shall we continue?"

Su Qing asked casually!

When I turned around, I was met with a pair of big, teary eyes, a pouting little mouth, and a face full of grievance.

"I have no money left!"

The little girl began to speak, but then seemed to have been touched upon something sad, and she rubbed her eyes and burst into tears.

Her piggy bank is empty; all the money she had saved for so long is gone, not a single penny left!

Su Qing was speechless. Isn't it normal to win and lose in games?

Even though you've never won, how can you cry because you lost a game, making me feel like a jerk?

"Don't cry, I'll give you a toy, okay?"

Su Qing could only comfort the other person. He took out a headless wooden puppet with a wind-up key in the back, and gently twisted it. The puppet started walking on its own.

Seeing this, the little girl's sadness turned to joy. She reached out to take it and sweetly said, "Thank you, Uncle Chris."

Seeing that the girl had stopped crying, Su Qing smiled and slapped her hand away: "This costs money, one silver coin. You can ask your mother for the money!"

The two people next to them couldn't stand it anymore: "Can't you be a decent human being?"

The roguish-looking man said irritably, then reached into his pocket, pulled out a silver coin, and tossed it to Su Qing.

Su Qing accepted the silver coin and, true to his word, handed the doll to the little girl.

Of course, he didn't forget to set up mechanisms on the puppets so that the little girl wouldn't be able to play with them for more than two days before they broke. Then she could come to him to fix them and make some money.

As Su Qing pondered, she suddenly realized something: she seemed to be becoming more and more worthless!

Meanwhile, Robert Jr. had already joined up with several other gang leaders.

In the main hall of the Wolf Head Society's Stone Fortress, more than a dozen leaders from various gangs and factions gathered to discuss their plans.

In the past, when they raided the borders of other countries, it was usually two or three of them working together. But now that more than a dozen have joined forces, it shows how cautious they are.

"Dragon Territory is no ordinary country; we'd better be careful this time!"

A respected old bandit leader spoke up, offering his opinion: "This time we need to be faster, more accurate, and more ruthless. After we've looted, we must immediately disperse and retreat."

Another person chimed in, "If we succeed this time, it won't be so easy next time, so we have to make sure we get our money's worth this time. Does anyone have any news?"

The hall began to buzz with noise as people shared the information they had gathered and discussed where to begin their operation.

Robert Jr. revealed the information he had obtained from Su Qing, which attracted considerable attention.

After discussing it for a while, the group decided to send someone to investigate the situation in Golden Dragon City first. If it was true, they would start their attack there!

The information was quickly gathered and confirmed to be true. Jinlong City was undergoing major construction, and large amounts of resources were frequently transported there, making it a lucrative market.

Moreover, the security forces seem relatively weak, probably because it is a newly established city, making it easier to attack.

These bandits were very efficient. Once they had determined the location, they immediately gathered their brothers, totaling nearly three thousand men.

Although it is a mixture of various forces and people are not united, it is already considered a powerful force.

If the attack is on other cities in the Dragon Territory, there is a possibility of mutual destruction.

But facing Jinlong City, which was now a den of dragons and tigers, this number of people was really not enough.

However, they did not intend to attack the city directly. Instead, they planned to disperse and first seize the small villages and towns before converging to attack the city.

He wanted to let these brothers taste the sweetness first, and also wanted them to see blood and get their hands dirty.
