The Hummingbird Gang launched the first attack on the Earth Gang, which was not good news for Ietra.
In fact, the girl intended to stop this farce as soon as she sensed something amiss. Unfortunately, the situation unfolded beyond human control. At this moment, the Earth Gang found themselves in a predicament best described by four words: "riding a tiger is hard to get off."
Not only the Earth Gang, but the Hummingbird Gang was also completely cornered. With no clear understanding of the Earth Gang's intentions, they could only prepare for the worst.
The misunderstanding caused by this information gap escalated the conflict. Even if both sides intended to cease hostilities, under the current circumstances, it was not so easy.
The location chosen by the Hummingbird Gang to attack the Earth Gang was extremely strategic, all areas where the opponent would lose a large amount of resources in a short time... Even if Ietra wished to dispel the misunderstanding, after this attack, all hopes of negotiation evaporated.
The relationship between the two sides was irreparable, and it seemed to have come down to a fight to the bitter end.
Ietra couldn't ignore the lives of her gang members to seek reconciliation, and Wil Gada, the old fox, wouldn't believe that Ietra would let them off so easily.
The outcome for both sides was predetermined from the beginning, only now revealing itself.
Looking at the reports of attack losses returned by her subordinates, Ietra's eyes showed signs of weariness.
The situation had taken an unexpected turn for her. Not only had she failed to find Ruiyi, but she had also ensnared the Earth Gang in a dilemma.
Ietra was well aware that someone behind the scenes was manipulating everything. Despite knowing this, she had to proceed according to the path planned by the other party. The feeling of being manipulated by the unseen hand left her deeply helpless.
"Big sister, what should we do next?" The subordinate with a Mohawk in front of her spoke with some resentment.
It was evident that he was very angry about the Hummingbird Gang's attack. In fact, the vast majority of people within the Earth Gang shared this sentiment. After all, the gang's rapid development in recent years, even vaguely indicating a desire to dominate the Feld District, was abruptly bitten by some unknown vermin. Anyone would be furious.
Therefore, most people in the Earth Gang were extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Hummingbird Gang.
In this situation, the combat morale within the gang was unprecedentedly high. They were eager to immediately attack the Hummingbird Gang's stronghold and avenge today's grievances.
But as the leader of the Earth Gang, Ietra certainly couldn't be so reckless.
Moreover, the immediate priority was actually to find back Yudola Ruiyi and the mastermind behind the scenes. The other party might be observing the situation between the Earth Gang and the Hummingbird Gang, waiting for both sides to be weakened.
Calming her emotions slightly, Ietra took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow, you lead the men to attack Mister Gang's stronghold, and then leave a message to Mister Gang's leader. Tell them that if anyone dares to help the Hummingbird Gang again, the Earth Gang will eliminate them first."
Hearing this, the subordinate with the Mohawk brightened up. They were worried about the Hummingbird Gang's reinforcements being too numerous to handle, and Ietra's words woke them up.
As long as they made an example, the allied reinforcements bound by interests would automatically disband. After all, no one wanted to be the next unfortunate one.
"Yes, I will gather the manpower immediately," the subordinate said. Watching the figure leave, a hint of worry flashed in Ietra's eyes.
Would things really turn out as she expected...?
......
In just a few days, even the next day, Ietra got the answer to the question.
Threatened, Mister Gang chose to withdraw from the alliance with the Hummingbird Gang, but other members showed no intention of retreating. Instead, this incident further solidified their alliance.
What Ietra didn't know was that her actions exactly matched the conspiracy mentioned by Wil Gada in their communication.
Even some originally neutral forces began to suspect whether the Earth Gang was planning something big.
Precisely because of this, they were not stingy in assisting the Hummingbird Gang. It was not because of justice or anything else, just pure concern that they might be the next ones to be targeted.
The dominance of the Earth Gang made people uneasy, so they had to take some precautions to ensure their own safety.
If the Hummingbird Gang disappeared, the next one threatened might be all the gangs. So the Hummingbird Gang couldn't disappear.
When disaster struck, everyone needed someone to rely on. But nobody wanted to be the first to be crushed when that support collapsed.
As a result, things didn't unfold as the members of the Earth Gang had hoped, with the allies of the Hummingbird Gang withdrawing one by one...
And with the assistance of various gangs, the power of the Hummingbird Gang even surpassed that of the Earth Gang at one point.
Both sides inflicted little casualties on each other, but their respective industries were severely damaged by surprise attacks.
The contradictions intensified as they clashed back and forth.
Finally, on a rainy day, the conflict between the two sides erupted, leading to a large-scale battle in the Aphrodite District... How large was it exactly?
Since the establishment of the Feld District, the number of people involved in this battle far exceeded that of any previous year.
The scale of both sides even exceeded that of ordinary gangs.
At least tens of thousands of people were involved in the battle between gangs, something unheard of in the Twenty-Fifth District.
At this point, even if Ietra and Wil Gada wanted to stop it, they were powerless.
Both sides were forced into an impossible situation, and the biggest flaw of gang management was now evident.
Gang leaders couldn't fully control their own forces, and it was well known that gang members were the most emotional.
This melee between the two sides began in the Aphrodite District.
In a sense, this was the beginning and the end of the war.
Because no one knew that an eagle from outside the battlefield was lurking, seeking the ultimate prize.
