"When a lion fights a rabbit, we have to attack with all our strength, but looking at the current performance of the city lord, it is like a cat playing with a mouse. Once the mouse discovers that the cat is not capable of swallowing him in one bite, he will bite someone!"
"Only the constant struggle of mice is interesting. If they lose their resistance from the beginning, cats will find it very boring, right? It's just a business clan, I haven't taken it to heart yet."
Van Helsing said indifferently.
Russell's eyes flashed, and he looked at Van Helsing carefully for a moment, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but in the end he could only shake his head with a smile, took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle, refilled Van Helsing's wine glass, and said with a smile
:
"The Lord of the City is quite cheerful. In that case, I have an idea to make this cat-and-mouse game more fun. How about I make a bet with the Lord of the City?"
Van Helsing stopped smiling, looked at Russell seriously, and then asked:
"I wonder what kind of bet Mr. Russell wants to make, and what kind of items he plans to use as a bet?"
Russell turned to look at his son beside him and said with a slight smile:
"Speaking of which, my son is a bit unsatisfied. He spends all day living and drinking. As a father, I am a bit neglectful. But there are faults. This boy met a member of the Kunil family by chance in the gold-selling cave a while ago.
A foreign affairs elder, let’s talk about this elder’s name…”
As Russell said this, he looked at Kai suspiciously. Kai was moved and quickly replied:
"My father's name is Ling Fei."
"Oh, yes, it's called Ling Fei."
Russell said with a look of surprise: "Although it was a mistake, it was just right. I asked my son to make excuses and cheer him up. After all, a young man with no experience can only have a few meals of wine and meat. A few people, that kid told my son
It revealed many secrets related to the Kunil family."
After all, the guards of the Hester family are private soldiers of the business family. If they know it is a trap and still insist on jumping into it, this is not in the interests of the merchants. Although the city lord may have made huge profits, he still has his life to enjoy.
That’s all.
Russell said apologetically: "Speaking of which, I let my son associate with this Kunil family, but I didn't inform the City Lord in time. I hope the City Lord can give me a guarantee."
Russell smiled and said to Kai: "You tell me."
Thinking of this, the headmaster subconsciously looked at the city lord Fan Helsing. After all, the control of everything still lies with this adult. As the lowest status among several forces, they can only bear it. Now he only hopes that Fan Helsing can consider his interests.
.
"Well, I roughly understand what Patriarch Russell means. The Patriarch means that this city lord is a little careless and wants to remind me. Van Helsing is grateful again."
Kai stood up respectfully and said: "City Lord, according to what I learned from Ling Fei, in fact, the other branches of the Kunil family have all gathered in Bobo City due to the continuous encirclement and suppression by our forces. It is said that their guards
The number of people has skyrocketed to five thousand, and it is said that the two injured elders of the Kunigir family have secretly returned to take charge of the family. Their power cannot be underestimated."
Van Helsing laughed and waved his hands: "Clan Chief Russell is too polite. I wonder what useful information your young master has obtained."
Everyone else remained calm when they heard Russell's words. Van Helsing was the only one who looked interested and seemed to listen patiently.
The master's face suddenly became uncertain. Using two thousand troops to deal with the five thousand troops that could not defend themselves, and the opponent was already desperate, it was foreseeable that a desperate fight would be too low.
Their expectation was to cannibalize the young and middle-aged people who had lost a branch, and then force the remaining elites to work with the old, weak, sick and disabled members of the family. In the end, the Kunil family would be completely brought down due to food and other reasons.
As a result, not only can they effortlessly weaken the Shaokunir family's strength, but in the end they can also wait for work and achieve the greatest results with the smallest cost.
When the others heard this, their expressions changed. Although the plan to annex the branches of the Kunil family and finally force the branches to concentrate in Popo City to swallow them all was a plan that their major families had planned long ago, and the plan was going smoothly.
However, judging from the news from Ling Fei, it seemed that it did not achieve the effect they originally wanted. Instead, their number of troops increased sharply to 5,000, which was beyond their expectations.
As the purest businessman, with a little trial and error, you can estimate that this transaction is obviously a loss. They don't have a family fortune as big as the city lord's mansion, and they have the ability to cultivate such a city guard.
Van Helsing suddenly nodded seriously and expressed his gratitude to Russell. Suddenly his face changed completely and his tone changed and he said:
"Nephew Kai said a lot. From a formal point of view, five thousand versus two thousand, and the opponent is defending and we are attacking, the disadvantage is obvious, but don't forget, why do we have to wait so long? Isn't it because these branches cannot become the old combat force?
Will the weak, sick and disabled become a burden to the Kunil family? If they can form a combat force of up to 5,000 people, then their family members will probably be even more, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly understood, and the eldest master also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the city lord did not intend to use them as cannon fodder, but then the eldest master's face became a little ugly. Even he himself was wondering why he
He would have this strange thought, but this thought was really scary. To prevent others from noticing his gaffe, he lowered his head, but the worry in his heart became more and more intense.
Kai stood there a little at a loss, and Van Helsing said:
"Based on my understanding of Ling Fei, he is definitely not a greedy and lustful person. On the contrary, this person is young but very scheming. I think Master Kai may have been plotted by this kid this time, and
I'm afraid he just wanted to tell me this information through your mouth."
Kai's face turned red, and he glanced at his father carefully, but Russell didn't seem angry, he just smiled and drank.
But Van Helsing seemed not to let go of this opportunity to ridicule the father and son, and said with a smile:
"Clan Chief Russell, it seems that Kaishi's nephew is too young and doesn't understand the sinister ways of the world, so he was used as a gunman. But, it doesn't matter. When he was young, paying a small price can really help him in his future life.
Please avoid detours on the road, oh, by the way, Patriarch Russell seemed to have mentioned a bet just now, right? Why not tell it and listen to it?"
