Chapter 94: Total War
A convoy of transporting supplies was moving slowly on the mountain road. There were several small jeeps in front and behind, with mutants and some armed guards sitting inside. They were moving very slowly. After walking a distance, the convoy would stop. The vanguard would drive forward for a distance. After confirming that there were no problems on both sides, the convoy would continue to move forward.
The battlefield has begun to expand continuously. Only the south has not encountered the war. Other places have become battlefields. Several major families have begun to participate in the war.
The entire grassland is about to be engulfed by the war. The central mountain area that was originally inaccessible is now fully open. Many supplies from the west, east and south will pass through the three roads in the mountains.
The road was allowed to pass half a year ago, but a large-scale war broke out in the central mountain area in the past six months. Many large and small complex forces want to get a share of the pie. Even if they know that the supplies are transported by the big families, many small families or gangs will still take action.
Although the patriarchs of the families of all parties have held many meetings, the war has not stopped, but has intensified. No one wants to suffer losses, and no one wants to negotiate peace easily.
The situation has reached a very serious point. The major families have begun to fight over disputes in some towns, but the major families are restraining themselves because once they join the war, there will be no more clean land in the entire grassland.
Now the only stable area is the area controlled by the nine major families, and other places are constantly breaking out in war.
Even some small families will create some friction in the border towns of the major families, and even launch attacks.
3 o'clock in the afternoon
Rudy, who was in a meeting in the conference room, received the latest report that the No. 45 town under the Angus family was attacked and looted. Although the looters have been repelled, the town suffered heavy losses and hundreds of people died.
Rudy stood up in anger.
"Who did it?"
The person who came to report the news said with his head down.
"I don't know yet."
"What do you do?"
Many battlefield exile gangs have already entered the territory that Monica originally governed. That place has become a mixed bag of people and has become an unmanaged area. It is jointly managed by a group established by several people under Monica's original subordinates. Every time a convoy passes by, it will be charged a high toll.
And such tolls are not paid once, but many times.
At present, this area poses the greatest threat to the Angus family, because it is closest to them and has a good relationship with the Su family in the west, while in the east, there are more than a dozen families intersecting, serving as a strategic buffer zone between the Angus family and the Wang family.
The 20 or so towns close to Monica's territory have been harassed not once or twice, but for the 39th time. When Rudy visited a year ago, he also agreed with what Monica said.
As long as the mountains and forests in the central part are controlled so that war materials cannot be quickly transported there, the intensity of the war can be slowed down and the war can be delayed. Now it is indeed as Monica said. After the central part is opened, the flames of war instantly spread.
Rudy sent someone to Monica's place a few months ago, hoping that she could come forward to clean up the current situation, and promised to provide troops to Monica.
But Monica said it was none of her business and rejected Rudy's proposal. Although Rudy wanted to launch a large-scale attack, once they attacked Monica's territory, the other big families who were eyeing it would not give up, and they would definitely send troops to rob them.
Now Rudy is already very annoyed. If this continues, the war will burn to the Angus family. Moreover, the patriarch of the Su family has changed. Su Hao died two months ago due to illness. The new patriarch has different ideas from himself, and the Su family has begun to participate in some local wars.
The alliance with the Angus family has become extremely fragile. The Su family is also an existence that Rudy has to guard against now. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can foresee the future.
It was impossible to know who was the enemy and who was the friend. Even the Su family was in a state of unrest. Some merchants on the periphery had already established certain connections with some families outside. They were not completely submissive to the Su family. Now they had begun to suspect that they were the host.
Rudy actually knew these problems, but because everything was peaceful at that time, there was no need to make things too awkward. But at this juncture, the merchants either raised the price or made some excessive demands.
The Angus family had to meet some of the merchants' demands. Now Rudy regretted it a little, and there was also criticism of him in the family.
Because in the past, Rudy did not let the Angus family firmly control all the interests in the territory, but distributed the interests to some people. Although it maintained the stability and prosperity of the region, it was also equivalent to dividing part of the power.
Now those people have grown up, and it is difficult to take back the power again, and this also involves some people in the army. Rudy has been very anxious in recent days.
All the problems started after Monica stepped down from the position of head. Rudy planned to send someone over again to ask Monica to come over for a talk. Now, as long as she is willing to take action, the situation in the central region will be stabilized, and their Angus family will not be involved.
Rudy quickly arranged for someone to quickly invite Monica over.
At this time, the eldest son ran in.
"Father, the Su family said that they want our factory to help produce some things."
Rudy was furious for a moment. He took out his phone and called the current patriarch Su Sheng.
"Mr. Su Sheng, what do you mean?"
A young laugh came from the phone.
"Mr. Rudy, I'm really sorry. Some of the factories in the towns over there used to belong to our Su family because when there was a food problem, our family temporarily lent them to you. Now we just want to take them. It’s just coming back to produce something, it’s reasonable.”
Rudy laughed.
"Mr. Su Sheng, if you really want the factory, come here with your sincerity. We can talk about business matters."
"It's not necessary, Mr. Rudy. This is not a business, but the result of the exchange between you and my father. If you are willing to let us use the factory, we will provide food."
Rudy is not a fool. Once several factories are used by the Su family, they will become the Su family's.
"Sorry, we can't negotiate this deal."
Rudy knew that the Su family wanted to produce some war supplies, so of course it was impossible for him to agree.
"Then let's do it, Mr. Rudy, just pretend I didn't say anything this time. I will get back the things belonging to our Su family."
After hanging up the phone, Rudy threw the phone down angrily. Everyone in the room was silent. Rudy immediately spoke.
"Deploy 10,000 troops at the border with the Su family."
The war has begun to make many people crazy. No one realizes how terrible this grassland will become if it continues like this.
Rudy has realized that the war will begin to become never peaceful, and the Angus family as a whole will definitely be dragged into the war.
"Father."
The eldest son looked at Rudy worriedly, Rudy laughed, and then said.
"Those guys forced me to immediately lead the army into the town. All businessmen who disobey orders will be arrested and let the army take over their industries. Those in the army who disobey will either be arrested or Righteousness on the spot.”
Rudy stood up, his eyes changed completely. He knew very well that if he didn't do this now, the Angus family would be in a huge crisis in the future, and troubled times had arrived.
No one expected Rudy to do this, but many people immediately expressed support.
Rudy knows very well what methods are used in what eras. His father, Jed, has been telling him this since he was a child, including many problems and changes in human society in the past.
"Everyone, this time is a crisis for our Angus family as a whole. We must be prepared to go to war with the Su family, but first we must solve the internal problems. Those who once received our gifts are now turning against each other. Guys, there’s no need to be polite to them, everyone get moving.”
Following Rudy's order, everyone stood up and started moving. The eldest son was a little shocked because his father, who had always dealt with things gently, would now choose such an approach.
4pm
Monica was carrying a small bag and had just stepped into a store. Several men in the store talking loudly and holding guns saw her and walked over directly.
"Hey, miss, you want to buy something. We don't need money here now. If you want something, you can play with us all once today, and we can sell some to you."
Monica glanced at the man aside. As soon as the man stretched out his hand, his hand was cut off, and his neck was twisted directly with a click. Several other people realized that something was wrong and took out weapons one after another. In an instant, their hands The weapon was torn apart and directly distorted by the powerful telekinesis.
Several people were completely frightened. Looking at the red particles in the air, someone realized who this woman was and said in horror.
"You are Mo..."
click
Before the man could finish his words, his neck had been broken. Monica smiled evilly and instantly killed several men in the shop, and one of them ran away.
At this time, many people came over on the street, and someone shouted.
"Ms. Monica, please save us."
Someone had already entered the store and started looting. Monica calmly took what she needed and left. She laughed disdainfully at the pleadings of many people.
"not my business."
Monica lives in a house in the mountains far away from the town. When she runs out of things, she comes down to buy them.
It was these people who begged and drove Monica away. At that time, Monica firmly refused to open the road to deliver supplies to other families.
After that, the situation became more and more complicated, and many people began to oppose Monica's actions. Finally, everyone decided to vote. As a result, 99.93% of the people in the territory supported Monica's resignation.
Monica didn't say much. Many people cheered on the day she stepped down. Most people seemed to have seen a bright future. However, just three months after Monica stepped down, the place was divided. External forces and internal forces were fighting each other every day. The people here are suffering from strangulation.
The opportunity to make a fortune did not come, but many people died in the fight. Now everyone is fighting on their own.
At this moment, several cars carrying heavy firepower screeched to a stop not far from the street. A group of people on top immediately got down, and a bald mutant jumped up in front of Monica with a sinister smile.
The red particles looked particularly rumored, the mutant laughed.
"If you dare to kill our people, you are seeking death."
The bald man punched over, Monica looked over and pressed the mutant's fist with one finger.
The mutant in front of her looked at Monica in horror, and Monica laughed cruelly.
"Rubbish!"
The man begged for mercy immediately.
"Mister Monica, spare........"
Bang
The man's head was smashed by Monica's fist in an instant, and blood splashed. Monica instantly jumped in front of the convoy. Everyone screamed in horror. In less than a few minutes, all these people became corpses.
Monica wiped the blood on her hands, turned around and walked away with her bag on her back. Whoever fired at her would die. This is Monica now.
At this time, some gangs in the dark watched Monica leave in horror. They dared to come out and directly took over many places. Several groups began to discuss the division issue. Soon, several groups reached a consensus. Just when they were about to celebrate, Monica turned back.
In an instant, a bunch of people were scared and fled in all directions. Some people were scared to the point of peeing their pants, but Monica just walked into a spice store, took some things and left.
At this time, a leader walked over and asked bravely.
"Mister Monica, can you lead us? We are willing to obey all your orders."
Monica ignored him and walked forward, but the leader still followed him. The next moment he stopped, his body was lifted up, and it was twisted into a ball in the air like a twist.
Blood was spraying violently, Monica looked back at the people around her and laughed.
It was these guys who let Monica manage everything, but in the end they united and destroyed Monica's last bit of confidence.
Monica took out a cigarette and lit it and laughed. She didn't plan to ask anything anymore. Anything on this grassland had nothing to do with her.
No matter where the future war will go, in Monica's opinion, these guys deserve it.
Monica saw many corpses along the way. She knew that there would be more and more corpses. The entire human society would be completely destroyed by the war, and humans would return to the doomsday of the past.
"It will only take ten years at most, or even shorter."
Monica left the town without looking back. She was now extremely disappointed with humans.
