Even so, the wolves' keen senses always exceeded their expectations; they had already turned around and were walking towards them.
After so much time working together, the archers of Pinghe Village had developed a much better teamwork than before. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the wolves to enter their attack range.
These few wolves, under the fire of more than a dozen crossbow bolts, had their lives ended in an instant.
Next, everyone skillfully cleaned up the battlefield, using tools to cover up the bloodstains on the ground. As for the wolves' corpses, they quickly lit a fire, skinned and shaved them, leaving only the aroma of roasted meat in the air.
Before the other two villages could even react, they had already efficiently handled everything.
Captain Liu said, "These people are even tougher than the last time they went into the back mountain. Let's find an opportunity to go up the mountain and practice our skills."
His comrade next to him was so frightened by his arrogant words that he took two steps back. "With our skills, we shouldn't end up like Wang Zili and his men did last time."
Captain Liu glared at him. "If Pinghe Village thinks like you, then we'll have to take the lead when we encounter the wolf pack. Do you think you can hit any of them with the gun you have? You might not even have time to fire a second shot before you're tackled."
After being rebuked by him, his comrade could only whisper to the person next to him, "Then we need someone like Village Chief Si to keep things in check, otherwise our lives won't be guaranteed, who would dare to go and die?"
With the appearance of these wolves, everyone dared not relax their vigilance. They put down the firewood they had collected along the way and dragged back some large tree trunks from the surrounding area for future use.
Many of these people were facing wolves for the first time. Seeing how easily the notorious wolves were dealt with, some even doubted whether those who had spoken out earlier were exaggerating or were simply too incompetent.
Dong Ge and his brothers packed their belongings and went down the mountain. This time, they did not conceal their actions and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.
"Brother Dong, do we really want to cooperate with Fang Cheng and the others?" Mei Di thought Brother Dong would act on his own, but she didn't expect him to be thinking of partnering with Fang Cheng.
The original plan was to follow behind and pick up some bargains, but I don't know what the brothers discussed last night, they suddenly changed their minds.
Dong Ge said, "Don't worry, we all know what's going on. If we just follow behind and try to pick up the bargains, we don't even know if we'll get anything, and we'll still have to flee in the end. Since that's the case, we might as well go for the big one."
Meidi hadn't expected them to be so ambitious. "We didn't get away with this in Pinghe Village, and now we're up against the army. Their weapons and equipment are no joke."
Dong Ge patiently explained to her, "This is the difference between civilians and the military. Back in Pinghe Village, I could tell they were going to kill us. But this time it's different. The people acting with us are all refugees. As the saying goes, the law doesn't punish the masses. And with those people blocking our way, our losses can be minimized."
“But how can we persuade Fang Cheng to cooperate with us? He might not agree.” Meidi still felt it was a bit unreliable. “What if Fang Cheng betrays us? Then we’ll have no way out.”
"Fortune favors the bold, we have to take a gamble, are we going to keep hiding like this?" Old Fang, who had been listening intently since they started talking, couldn't help but chime in when he heard Meidi saying something discouraging.
Medi said, "But this is too risky. At least send someone to investigate. If Fang Cheng is interested, wouldn't it be safer to act then?"
Old Fang: "We discussed all of this last night. We tried to find someone to mediate, but with all this back and forth, the changes in between are too great, and we simply can't control it. The best way is to just go and kill them. With the weapons we have now, we can make them not dare to make any rash moves."
Old Fang actually had some further discussion results he hadn't told her. If Fang Cheng showed even the slightest sign of trying to sabotage them, we would eliminate Fang Cheng and then directly take over his team.
Meidi knew there was no way to change their minds at this point, so she could only find an opportunity to secretly tell Ah Kun that if he found a chance, he would leave on his own and then he would have to rely on himself.
"Sis, I'll be wherever you are. I can't leave on my own. If anyone's leaving, it'll be us together. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to stay with Brother Dong forever?" Ah Kun refused outright.
Mei patted him and said, "I'm going to stick with Dong-ge all the time, but you're different. It's just the two of us left in our family. I can't possibly know that there's an abyss there and still drag you along. Their actions this time were a bit reckless, and I'm afraid something might happen. Anyway, you'd better be smart when the time comes."
After giving these instructions, Meidi hurriedly left, hoping that her silly cousin would be quick-witted and seize the opportunity to leave.
A woman's intuition can be unpredictable, and this time, Medi was right again.
Fang Cheng stared at Mei Di in shock. "You've found a new backer? What are you planning? Are you coming to cause trouble?"
Dong Ge casually answered for Mei Di, fiddling with the leather belt around his waist, "Our Xiao Di said you wanted to do a big business with her. When they went back and told us, we were really interested. That's why we brought our men to join you. What? Aren't you welcome?"
Fang Cheng forced a smile, "If the siblings had introduced themselves as your family back then, I would definitely have treated them well. Look at the misunderstanding this has caused, I apologize to you."
Looking at the large group of people in front of him, Fang Cheng knew that this was going to be a tough test.
Dong Ge scoffed and laughed when he heard this. He looked up at the shack and said, "With your conditions, what kind of hospitality are you talking about? Let's not beat around the bush. You should have heard of me. People outside call me Dong Ge."
"Brother Dong?" Fang Cheng's eyes widened suddenly. "You're Brother Dong?"
"What? Is there anyone who dares to impersonate me?" Dong asked casually.
Fang Cheng quickly shook his head, "No, no."
Fang Cheng was filled with regret. Why had he provoked someone he shouldn't have? It seemed this time things couldn't end well.
Dong Ge, "I won't beat around the bush with you. When we went back, Meidi praised your plan highly, so we came to join in the fun. We definitely won't let you suffer any losses."
Fang Cheng looked at the number of people on the other side and compared it with his own. He knew that they wanted to turn the tables and make him the one running errands. But after planning for so long, he was really unwilling to give up.
He was reluctant, but he didn't have the courage to speak up. He had heard many rumors about Dong Ge's ruthlessness.
Seeing that he hadn't replied for so long, Dong Ge asked him coldly, "It's such a small matter, how long are you going to think about it? Is it okay or not? Give me a straight answer quickly, so I can make other plans."
