Shadow Empire

Chapter 556: Showing Weakness to the Enemy [666+16]
For several days in a row, Fergal didn't have a good sleep and always woke up after a short while.

He felt that his spirit was about to collapse!

Lance was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, taking his life away bit by bit, making him uncomfortable whether he was sitting or standing.

"Can you sit down?" His younger brother looked at him walking back and forth, sighing constantly, feeling a little annoyed, and said in a bad mood.

Fergal glanced at him and then sat down.

His brother continued, "Everyone is very resistant to the attack now. In their eyes, the Empire Zone has become a terrifying monster. Everyone who went there died or disappeared."

"If we forcefully ask those people to attack Lance's people, I'm afraid..."

He stopped talking, probably because Fergal had already figured it out.

His face was filled with resentment, and he slammed the table hard. "It wasn't even this difficult when we were fighting the Bear Gang!"

The Bear Gang was very strong and they were overwhelmed at first, but after they got used to the new challenge and the Bear Gang's fighting style, they quickly adjusted themselves.

But the Lance Family was completely different from the gangs he had encountered before.

He paid good attention to details, and sometimes the missions he arranged were to randomly kill a few members of the Lance family on the street and then come back.

But as soon as the shots were fired, before they had walked a hundred meters, some people with submachine guns appeared on the roadside and started shooting at their vehicle.

After a burst of crackling sounds, the car will most likely stop on the side of the road, and there's no need to think about the people inside, as they will basically be shot like a sieve at close range.

Then someone drove the car away and disposed of the bodies inside.

There is a rumor that pet sausages are on sale in the Imperial District these days.

Although people could not confirm whether the news was true or not, it did affect the morale of the lower-level members of the family.

No one wants to be turned into a pet sausage, eaten by a dog, and then become a pile of dog shit on the roadside after a certain order comes down.

This is definitely the most fucking unpleasant and terrifying way to die!
So everyone was very resistant.

If you ask someone who doesn't want to become shit to die, he may be afraid of Fergal's authority at first and can only accept his fate.

But they will soon start to resist. Not to mention defecting, it is possible that they will just run away.

So now the problem is becoming more and more difficult.

"I asked someone to check out Lance's new house. A forced attack would probably kill many people."

The previous problem had not been solved yet, and Fergal's younger brother started to make trouble for him again.

"He simply renovated the interior and said that a lot of bulletproof glass was used. I heard that some glass rooms are even equipped with shooting holes."

"It's easy to shoot from the outside through the firing port, but it's not easy to get the bullet into the firing port from the outside."

"Our boys would rather spend the whole day on a girl's belly than practice their marksmanship at the fucking shooting range!"

"If we attack by force, many of us will die, and there will be no results."

Fergal was annoyed. It was all bad news. "What about fire?"

His brother sighed, "It's a bank. It has an internal fire protection system, unless you walk into Lance's office and pour gasoline there."

"Otherwise, you don't have to expect to burn everyone inside by lighting a fire outside. That's unrealistic."

Fergal became even more annoyed. "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. So what should we do?"

"Are you going to be laughed at like this?"

"And this isn't a fucking joke, this is a matter of life and death!"

Everyone knows this, but what can we do?
There were actually quite a few casualties on Lance's side, but defense is always safer than offense. Their deaths were much less than ours, and Lance gave a lot, which was enough to ensure that there was no shortage of manpower over there.

"Is there any way to lure them out?"

It is important in combat not to let the enemy gain an advantage.

Bandy was also thinking about this question.

He was not happy at all now. He should have been happy because Lance focused all his attention on the Keane family, and the two sides were fighting fiercely, depleting each other's strength.

But now he couldn't be happy at all, because Lance was too strong, or too resilient!

Recently, we have seen some refugee gang members from the Empire District taking to the streets. As for the refugees from the New Port District, they are willing to do dangerous work for food and money.

A lot of people froze to death in the winter that just ended, and Lance was very cunning. He actually distributed winter supplies to the poor people and some refugees in the Imperial District!

He did everything the government should do, gained huge prestige and authority, and became more and more "troublesome".

If we don't deal with Lance, even if Lance stops, everyone will continue to live in peace. In a few years, they will be disintegrated without Lance even having to do anything!
So we have to take action against Lance, and we must win.

This time, not only he and Gowrie, but also Fleming, Stone, and other important members of the family gathered together, as well as some smart managers from regular companies.

Bandy needs everyone's wisdom now.

"How do we get Lance to crawl out of his damn turtle shell and go somewhere that's bad for him but good for us?"

Bandy looked at the men in front of him, "If anyone can solve this problem, he's the deputy general manager of the casino."

The room, which had seemed a bit dull, suddenly became... somewhat lively.

The deputy general manager of the casino is at Shi Dong's level. He can get dividends from the casino, which is a huge sum of money.

People's eyes suddenly became active, and their minds started to work as they began to think about whether there was any feasible solution.

They proposed many plans intermittently, but after discussion, none of them had any practical significance.

It's either too stupid or requires too many coincidences to be practical.

It's like some people say to cut off the circuit inside the bank and then throw poisonous smoke in, but there is a high probability that this cannot be done and must not be done.

If gangs fight with pistols, it's just an ordinary gang conflict, but if they use poison smoke or poison gas, it will violate more serious laws. Maybe the federal government will deal with them all without Lance having to do anything.

After much discussion, there was no solution.

One of the analysts, a graduate of an elite league academy, came up with an idea.

"We can create internal divisions within Mr. Fegal's family. In such a high-pressure environment, it is normal for disagreements to arise within the family."

"For example, some people are willing to surrender, some are willing to negotiate, and some insist on fighting."

"They got into a quarrel over this, and then parted ways unhappily, and the family was torn apart."

"Those who disagreed with Mr. Feigal took their own people and left. As a result, Mr. Feigal did not have enough people at hand. Not only could he not continue to invade the empire, but he might not even be able to defend his own territory."

"Then Mr. Fegal can only choose to gather all the people and place them in a place that is advantageous to him, such as their manor."

"At this time, he can send some signals to the outside world, such as that he is seeking foreign aid from other places."

"We can hype up this foreign aid so much that as long as they come, Lance will be solved..."

Fleming understood what he had heard. "Then force or lure Lance to take the initiative to attack. As long as he thinks he can deal with Fergal and his men in one go, he will definitely bring his men out."

"And then we ambush them on a battlefield of our choosing, yes?"

The analyst nodded. "That's basically it. I don't know much about the mafia, but I believe that if the battle can be resolved in one go, it should be the result that everyone would like to see."

Bandy, Gowrie, and Stone couldn't help but nod after hearing this. This was indeed a good idea.

After discussing it for a while, they all felt that this was a really good idea and that there was no need for any coincidences, as all factors were completely controllable.

Bandy quickly informed Fergal of the plan. Fergal was also very distressed about the current situation. The strategy Bandy provided was simple and had a high success rate, so he thought it was feasible.

"But even if I succeed, I don't have that many people. What if Lance escapes..." Fergal didn't finish his words, leaving half of them, but Bandy already knew what he meant.

So this time he said very confidently, "Don't worry, my people will be ready, he will either not come out or not."

"As long as he comes out, our people will rush over immediately, and Gao Li and Shi Dong will lead the team. Don't worry, I will definitely not hold back this time."

After listening to this, Feigal was silent for a while, "You can contact the Tita family again. The more people the better."

"I'm going to follow your plan this time, Bendy."

"If you cheat me, whether I win or lose, I will leave immediately and let you fight!"

Hearing the ruthlessness in Fergal's words and knowing that he had given Lance a hard time recently, Bendy promised, "I said, this time we're serious!"

After hanging up the phone, Fergal pulled several confidants into the office to discuss for a long time. During this time, Bandi also called and said that the Tita family was also willing to support.

Then everything is almost ready.

Of course, this plan cannot be implemented so roughly all at once; it requires a slightly gradual process.

For example, create another "failure case" and then use this failure case as an opportunity to trigger conflicts within the family.

Two days later, Fergal called the cadres together again and discussed continuing the attack on Lans' territory.

This time he chose a cadre who was usually low-key, and the cadre was very dissatisfied with his decision.

Although he agreed with Fergal's decision, they ended up parting on bad terms...
