Stronger with More Jobs

The black-robed commander slowly raised his hand.

It reached for the bone mask on his face.

"Click."

A soft sound, and the mask was taken off.

The closest one, Gu Yan, was the first to see the face under the mask.

His body shook violently, his eyes instantly rounded.

An indescribable fear instantly wrapped around his heart, halting his breath...

That face...that face...how could it be...?!

...

Gray Rock District, Cyan Dragon Gang headquarters.

The atmosphere in the brightly lit conference room was somber.

No original Cyan Dragon Gang leaders like Liu San were present.

All seated around the long table were Fang Qingyu’s personnel.

As well as the thirty-plus Tier Two members of Dawn Squad.

And newly joined, a scarce dozen like Zhou Zhen.

These were the absolute core forces aware of Fang Qingyu’s true identity and ultimate goals.

At the head, Fang Qingyu sat casually reclined.

The pallor on his face had faded, returning to a rosy hue.

Yet his deep eyes, like the cosmic star river, appeared even more inscrutable under the bright light.

At this moment, Fang Qingyu was flipping through the intelligence summary just organized and delivered by Wei Banmeng.

He frowned slightly as he looked over it.

A moment later, Fang Qingyu gently placed the summary on the table.

His gaze swept over everyone present, his voice calm as he said, "The Desolate Bone Corps over there, can’t hold out."

He pushed the report towards Chu Kuanglan beside him for review.

"The battle damage ratio is close to ten to one, personnel losses near forty percent, with the core force severely impacted. The data and battlefield details they conveyed align closely with reports from our sentinels embedded there; no exaggeration."

Fang Qingyu’s tone was very flat.

As if stating an unrelated matter.

But the meaning of his words caused everyone’s expressions to instantly turn grave.

The Desolate Bone Corps unable to hold out meant the Celestial Punishment Association would soon be free to act.

To unleash all its fury and Power onto the Cyan Dragon Gang.

Confronting the main force of the Celestial Punishment Association.

This day had inevitably come, faster than expected.

And...not just the main force of the Celestial Punishment Association.

There’s also the Bauhinia Association.

It is unknown whether the Celestial Punishment Association secretly controls other forces as well.

The conference room was silent enough to hear a pin drop, the air seemingly frozen.

Everyone’s breathing subconsciously became lighter, an intangible pressure weighed heavily on their hearts.

Although Cyan Dragon Gang has consolidated the Gray Rock District, its Power has expanded.

But in terms of foundation and top combat capabilities, compared to the Celestial Punishment Association, a behemoth entrenched in the core territory for decades, the gap remains vast.

Not to mention the formidable monsters like Shi Hao under its command.

"However."

Fang Qingyu changed his tone, breaking the silence.

He picked up a map of Gray Rock District with detailed defensive markings.

His long fingers pointed to the map, near the direction of the core territory.

The fan-shaped area adjacent to the Celestial Punishment Association’s scope.

"The frontline, we still have to hold. And hold it beautifully."

"Jiang Wei." Fang Qingyu looked at the quiet red-haired girl sitting beside him, "You’re responsible for Guangming Street. Hold it, along with Wanlang Street and Qingbo Street, the three streets connected. Don’t let any Celestial Punishment Association people in."

These three streets are the second closest area to the Celestial Punishment Association territory.

And currently, the main assets of the Cyan Dragon Gang are located there.

Fang Qingyu trusts Jiang Wei the most with this.

Jiang Wei’s clear red eyes met Fang Qingyu’s gaze without hesitation, just nodded lightly: "Hmm."

"Banmeng." Next, Fang Qingyu’s gaze shifted to the cool-mannered Wei Banmeng, "Hongyuan Street is yours. Take twenty Tier Two members. Apart from you, that area won’t have any other Tier Three stationed. Unless... a special target like Shi Hao emerges, in that case, for any Tier Three from Celestial Punishment Association appearing there, you alone will handle it. Can you do it?"

Wei Banmeng’s face remained calm as she nodded, saying only one word: "Can."

Fang Qingyu nodded in satisfaction.

His fingers moved quickly across the map, issuing clear commands.

For Old Chu and Old Lu, the Tier Two members, each to lead some men and guard several streets.

As for those like Mouse and Old Qin who have just broken into Tier Two.

They’re to lead teams guarding less critical places.

One by one, the defense lines were clearly delineated and orders were issued.

Those called by name accepted their commands solemnly.

Everyone was aware of how difficult this battle would truly be.

Number of the Ten Great Forces.

Except for the Faceless Brotherhood.

People have a rough idea of the numbers.

Over a hundred Tier Three, several hundred Tier Two elites, that’s the basic.

Currently known.

The Celestial Punishment Association still controls the Bauhinia Association.

This equates to two major forces.

Meaning the numbers mentioned above must be doubled.

That is, 200 Tier Three and above, over a thousand Tier Two.

And as for their side...

Including the few like Wei Banmeng who just broke through.

Tier Three only numbers a few dozen, and Tier Two even less.

Not even a hundred.

So truly how tough this battle is?

Everyone’s heart feels uncertain.

It’s just that they have to fight because they must.

And because Qingzi said they should fight.

So everyone fights.

However, when Fang Qingyu’s finger finally landed on the area on the map directly facing the Celestial Punishment Association core territory impact, the fan-shaped region.

He stopped.

Everyone followed his fingertip.

They saw the area marked "Blood Origin" clearly delineated on the map, yet with no names associated with it.

"Qingzi, what about over there on Taikang Road?"

Chu Kuanglan couldn’t help but ask, a hint of worry in his large copper bell eyes.
