Troy’s face showed a hint of desolation as he said quietly, "That’s right, he can go low, but we can’t. Because the media is in their hands."
"When we kill one of them, we have to face overwhelming criticism. But when they kill a hundred of us, nobody will speak up for us."
Hibell sat there helplessly, leaned back, closed her eyes, and let tears silently fall down her cheeks.
"Tap, tap, tap..." At that moment, steady footsteps came from behind.
Hibell quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve, not wanting to let these signs of weakness be seen by Big Sister.
Fenrir slowly approached, looking at the ruins left after the attack by the Death Scythe Mercenary Corps, and asked, "Did they run off again?"
Troy said in a deep voice, "The Death Scythe’s information equipment is too strong. Even while we’re talking, we don’t know how many drones and satellites are watching from above, exposing our every move to their sight."
"Every time they choose to strike where you’re not present. When you come to support, they immediately flee and continue to attack the next place... They plan to slowly bleed us and exhaust Wolf Raid to death."
Fenrir pondered for a moment and said, "You all count the casualties and handle the aftercare work. I’m going to the Inner City."
Upon hearing Fenrir was going to the Inner City, everyone was stunned.
Troy asked, confused, "You’re going alone? What’s the purpose of going to the Inner City?"
Fenrir lit a cigar, his dark purple eyes faintly visible amidst the smoke.
"I’m going to find an ally for Wolf Raid."

[New Moon City Rust Wall M17 District Mid-section Patrol Station]
Last October, Wolf King Fenrir breached the Rust Wall; this awe-striking move that shocked the entire city began right here.
Now, the aftermath of that catastrophe has settled, the breached wall has been repaired, and everything is back to normal.
The two soldiers who witnessed the whole process of Wolf King breaking the wall last year survived very luckily and were promoted due to this experience. They are now the main and deputy commanders of the M17 District Mid-section Patrol Station.
During the cold winter of February, the two no longer need to be on duty at the city wall and are nestled cosily in the heated command room, happily playing poker.
The deputy commander looked through the window at the Rust Wall not far away and sighed, "When I just enlisted last year, I never thought this winter could be so comfortable."
The commander played 17 cards in one turn, stretched lazily, and joked, "Yeah, who would’ve thought we would benefit from the disaster? Wolf King is our benefactor after all~ Big Sister is number one!"
At this moment, the communicator on the table rang.
The voice of a patrol soldier came through: "Sir, we’ve observed members of Wolf Raid approaching, should we disperse them?"
The commander picked up the communicator and asked nonchalantly, "Have they entered the fire identification zone?"
Communicator: "No, they are outside the fire recognition zone."
Commander: "Soldier, you should reread ’Rust Wall Patrol Manual,’ Chapter 2, Article 7." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
After speaking, he hung up the communicator.
The two continued playing cards.
While playing, the deputy commander suddenly scratched his head, "Hey, why did that conversation sound so familiar just now?"
"Da-da-da-da-da——" Suddenly, the sound of the city wall turrets firing resounded, extremely fierce, causing the command room to tremble slightly.
The commander’s face changed, opened the communicator, and questioned, "What’s happening? Who fired the cannon!"
From the communicator came the panicked voice of the patrol soldier: "Wolf King! Wolf King is coming towards us!"
The commander was stunned: "Damn it, here again?!"
Before the two could issue an emergency order, a deafening explosion was heard.
"Boom——"
Not far from the command room, the alloy gate of Rust Wall M17 District was blown away by tremendous force, turning into twisted scrap metal collapsing heavily onto the ground, sending up clouds of dust.
The alarm was triggered automatically and echoed across the sky, the two quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the command room, the scene before them left them dumbstruck.
The gate structure of M17 District was completely destroyed, the metal at the edge showing explosive damage, a tall figure was slowly walking through the dust screen.
Fenrir stepped over the breached city gate, a half-burned cigar hanging from her lips, slowly exhaling smoke, her ink-black long hair swayed rhythmically as she walked.
Seeing the subordinates nervously aiming their guns over, the commander quickly signaled them not to open fire.
He had seen Wolf King’s power firsthand back then; even the large-caliber city wall turrets couldn’t harm her, the light single-soldier weapons they had were utterly meaningless.
Moreover, having not seen her in months, this person seemed even stronger now, being able to kick the reinforced alloy city gate away with a single strike was simply incredible.
Seeing that Fenrir had no intention to kill, the commander steadied his nerves, stood out, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you here for?"
Fenrir took off her cigar, lightly flicked away the ash on it, and replied, "Relax, I’m just going into the city to find someone." fгeewebnovёl.com
The commander twitched his face: "What do you take the Inner City for? Do you think it’s your backyard that you can come and go as you please?!"
Fenrir said nothing else, slowly walked up to the commander.
That inherent oppressive aura overwhelmed him, frightening him to fall backward.
Fenrir reached out and grabbed him, picking him up like a chick and shook him upside down.
The commander was thus dangled in mid-air, feet up, head down, with miscellaneous items like a cigarette box, lighter, coins falling out of his pockets.
After shaking out the items, Fenrir put him aside, picked up the keys on the ground, and said, "Borrowing your vehicle."
She got on a motorcycle parked outside the command room, inserted the key, started the engine, and rode away in front of everyone.
...
Outside a bar in the Lakefront Business District, Su Mo and Shangguan Li had already finished their drinks and came out.
Shangguan Li went to a convenience store to buy two bottles of mineral water, and when she came out, a Death Scythe Military Industry transport vehicle was driving by on the street.
She handed the mineral water to Su Mo, watched the departing transport vehicle, and said, "You really guessed right about that. Crow’s Nest and Ashen Gang, dealing with Wolf Raid, hired Zhou Hanyan as help."
Su Mo smiled, "Is this worth guessing? Who else could have the guts to take this kind of job? Wolf Raid has really been miserably harassed by Death Scythe lately."
Shangguan Li took a sip of water and laughed disdainfully, "But I have to say, what Death Scythe is doing lately is actually quite cheap."
Su Mo: "Oh? How so?"
Shangguan Li: "You know the tactics Death Scythe is using, right? I honestly didn’t expect them to use guerrilla tactics against Wolf Raid."
"Zhou Hanyan didn’t deploy the main force to fight, just led several tactical squads, continuously hunting Wolf Raid members. When Wolf King arrived, he fled, then continued ambushing elsewhere... Honestly, it’s too cheap."
Su Mo wondered aloud, "Cheap? I consider it a rational tactical strategy."
Shangguan Li shook her head and said, "From a tactical perspective, there’s no problem, but haven’t you realized? What’s revealed behind this tactic is actually Zhou Hanyan’s fear."
"Zhou Hanyan feels he can’t defeat Wolf King head-on, that’s why he chooses to avoid battle and use guerrilla tactics. The tactical effect is there, but in terms of momentum, he’s lost completely."
"The mighty King of Mercenaries, with tens of thousands of mercenary troops, weaponry completely overwhelming the opponent, enjoying absolute advantage, yet fearing a bandit leader to this extent... So tell me, isn’t it cheap?"
Su Mo laughed heartily after hearing this, "That makes sense. Isn’t that human nature, being bold when you have nothing, and becoming cautious once you succeed?"
"Zhou Hanyan, nicknamed Silver Wing in the industry, was once a madman hacking through the mercenary realm with a kitchen knife, daring to take on anyone. Now that he’s become King of Mercenaries, he doesn’t dare confront a true strong opponent anymore."
Shangguan Li helplessly laughed, "Let’s keep this talk in private. Don’t let this spread. No matter how he is, Zhou Hanyan is still an industry leader, if we tick him off, he could easily crush us two juniors."
Su Mo joked, "If Zhou Hanyan really goes to strangle me, I’ll go be a henchman for Wolf King and see who disgusts whom then."
As they laughed and chatted, they turned the corner and saw a tall figure leaning against a motorcycle.
Fenrir sat sideways on the motorcycle seat, slowly puffing smoke rings, her gaze directed sideways towards them.
Shangguan Li was so frightened the alcohol woke up instantly.
Su Mo was also surprised. What’s going on? He hadn’t learned Wolf King Summoning Technique.
He shielded Shangguan Li behind him, then forced a smile at Fenrir and said, "Big Sister, I know Wolf Raid has been getting a hard time recently, but it’s Zhou Hanyan who’s responsible, it has nothing to do with us two. Your vengeance has its targets; don’t take it out on us..."
Fenrir chuckled softly, tossed a motorcycle helmet to Su Mo, and teased, "Didn’t you say you’d be my henchman? Come on, let’s take a ride."
