But what surprised this person was that Qin Yuesheng’s physical strength was so astonishing. Even without relying on weapons, he could still exert considerable power.

This makes things really difficult. As the opponent said, if we don’t submit, there’s only a dead end.

"I submit! I am willing to submit!" Seeing the man being tossed around like a sandbag in Qin Yuesheng’s hands, this person suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and had no choice but to shout out.

Qin Yuesheng stopped his action: "If you had said so earlier, things would have been settled. Must it always take death for you to realize reality?"

The mountain bandit looked embarrassed but still walked over, cupped his fists, and said helplessly: "Greetings... young hero."

"A wise man submits to circumstances." Throwing the mountain bandit to the side, Qin Yuesheng said indifferently: "Take me into the city."

"Yes."

Drawing the Black Dragon Sword, Qin Yuesheng followed this person into the very crude fortress, with Fang Haijiao immediately following behind him.

This fortress, where the Tai Sui Alliance is located, was temporarily built by the mountain bandits. Its crudeness purely stems from their lack of intention to stay long; their real target is Cyan Yang City.

But no one expected that halfway through, a character like Qin Yuesheng would appear, akin to a tiger blocking the road, shattering all their plans.

As soon as Qin Yuesheng entered the fortress, numerous gazes fell upon him. According to the mountain bandit leading the way, currently, all the remaining fortresses within Meteor Mountain have relocated here.

It is imaginable how many mountain bandits are here, at least tens of thousands. If utilized well, they would be an active force; after annexation, they could directly expand the Flood Dragon Gang’s size several times over.

"Young hero, these are all our brothers here." The mountain bandit leading Qin Yuesheng said.

"What’s your name?"

"Jiang Su."

"From now on, the Tai Sui Alliance will still be under your management, but it will be merged into the Flood Dragon Gang, and you will be the Deputy Gang Leader." Qin Yuesheng said, "When I don’t give orders, you can act freely, but when I give orders, you must act immediately. You can guess the consequences of any slackness."

Jiang Su could only nod: "I understand."

Currently, Liu Xian is annexing Yangzhou Prefecture and hasn’t had time to make a move on the entire Jiangnan region. Besides him, three officials have also rebelled, so the situation will obviously not be too stable in the future.

The reason Qin Yuesheng wants to recruit these mountain bandits is to incorporate them into the Flood Dragon Gang, then send them to other towns to establish branches, creating an intelligence network to get first-hand information from all over Jiangnan.

If he can establish a solid foundation, the Flood Dragon Gang will gain some reputation in Jiangnan, and combined with Twelve Linked Rings, the Qin family could achieve great things in the entire Jiangnan region.

These mountain bandits watched as one of the alliance leaders was supported in a faint while the other spoke respectfully to the person with the golden mask beside him, and they couldn’t help but feel curious.

Yet, they didn’t dare to step forward and ask questions, as the alliance leader’s status was clear, and no one dared to act rashly.

Arriving at the usual place where Jiang Su discussed matters with his subordinates, Qin Yuesheng directly asked him to summon all the major and minor leaders of the Tai Sui Alliance, as there were things to explain to them.

Meteor Mountain originally had numerous bandit strongholds, and it was impossible to have each former Village Chief become a leader in the Tai Sui Alliance to command their former subordinates, as this would not help strengthen the alliance leader’s influence.

Jiang Su and the other two alliance leaders issued a set of position rules, establishing major and minor leaders based on strength. Those with Outer Forging Perfection strength could be major leaders, each leading a thousand men; below the major leaders were the minor leaders, who could lead between one hundred and three hundred men. Therefore, each major leader had two or three minor leaders under them.

This set of rules is simple, but good enough for the Tai Sui Alliance.

Seeing nearly a hundred mountain bandits with Outer Forging strength walk into the hall, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but secretly nod.

Don’t look down on the bandits of Meteor Mountain as a scattered sand fighting individually; when gathered together, they can truly demonstrate amazing strength. If these men unite and attack Cyan Yang City, they could indeed succeed.

One must say, Jiang Su and the other two feel confident in their rebellion; just the number of Outer Forging Martial Artists here exceeds Cyan Yang City’s defense power many times over.

"From today onward, this is our Grand Alliance Leader of the Tai Sui Alliance, everyone, hurry and pay respects." Jiang Su stood beside Qin Yuesheng and said.

Having been taught a lesson, he behaved very honestly, and the mountain bandit who was hammered by Qin Yuesheng was placed on a chair on the side, still in a faint state.

Upon hearing Jiang Su, these mountain bandits quickly responded. They had all witnessed the battle outside the fortress; Qin Yuesheng easily defeated three opponents and killed one. They had seen this level of power.

No one wants to follow the others’ footsteps, so naturally, no one dared to object at this moment.

Qin Yuesheng immediately started deploying his orders: "The world is about to fall into chaos. Liu Xian, the Inspector of Yangzhou Prefecture, has already raised the flag of rebellion. I need you to take people to each town around Cyan Yang City to station, gathering intelligence while recruiting people to expand our power."

"This, Grand Alliance Leader, this certainly is no problem, but with war possibly breaking out at any moment, if we disperse, won’t it be too unsafe?" someone asked.
