Werewolf Hunting Rules.

Chapter 451 Bloody Cleansing (Part )

Konglione's cleanup operation in the western part of Weiodi City is in full swing.

Just like the Congregation of the Sacred Heart persecuted them, but this time it was the other way around.

Not long after Opiros entered the city, the clan's spies in the city had already passed on all the information about the recent policy trends of the municipal government and the transfer of the guards to him. The young clan leader quickly adjusted the details of the countermeasures based on this information.

However, he actually didn't care about associations, cults, armies, or guards. He didn't even care much about Alexander, the engineer whom he personally ordered Lind to investigate.

All that mattered to Opilus was the state of the clan itself.

The werewolves, numbering as high as three digits, are the real foundation of the clan. Their power is comparable to that of an army of a thousand people. As long as the clan werewolves can maintain their combat effectiveness, no matter they are excluded at the social level or suppressed at the political level, the clan will eventually have a chance to turn things around.

It is very difficult to maintain the combat effectiveness of these werewolves. They consume tons of meat every day just to stay alive, and once they are trained, the meat consumption may increase several times.

The powerful werewolf body is their most deadly weapon, but it is not very useful during the day. Only a small number of werewolves can undergo short-term transformation during the day, so they also need firearms training, which is another loss.

What is really terrifying is the necessary expenses to maintain the dignity of the clan members. On the social level, they are either aristocrats or middle class. Some of them even hold public office in the town government, so naturally they also need to receive a salary.

There aren't profitable projects every day, but werewolves don't just live when they're working.

This kind of money given to non-working relatives is called annuity in the royal family, and it is a headache for the entire kingdom.

However, the effort is always worth it. This long-awaited group action proved that the clan’s power has not weakened like its social reputation. On the contrary, it has become stronger because of the merger of the two clans.

The wolves swept along the river bank, destroyed all the security forces in the factories built along the river, dispersed the workers, and burned the goods.

In order to increase profits, most production machines are running day and night. Long-term operation will inevitably cause the machines to heat up. In order to avoid damage to the machines due to high temperature, factories need a lot of coolant to cool them down. Water is the most natural and cheap coolant, so these factories always like to choose to be located by the river, which saves the wolves the time of detouring around. They burn, kill and plunder along the way, and no one can stop them.

Konglione's patience was limited, but they chose this time to take revenge not only because of the dark friends who had recently come from the city, but also because it was part of a long-planned plan made by the former patriarch, Shurien, Opiros' father.

Twenty-five years ago, it would have been irrational for the werewolves to directly confront the Fraternity of the Sacred Heart.

Only a small number of members of the Sacred Heart Fraternity are locals. The others came here because they saw the judicial chaos that had occurred in the local area after the decline of the Duke of Weiodi's family, and thought that this would be quite beneficial for business activities.

These merchants flocked to Wei'aodi like crows discovering carrion, determined to gain sufficient benefits before the royal family took back the pearl.

At that time, the Sacred Heart Fraternity had not yet been established, and the people who made up it were not so wealthy, let alone in power.

But they were still brave.

The entrepreneurs who broke into Weiodi during the chaotic period considered themselves pioneers and adventurers. No difficulties could defeat them. In order to stand out and get rich overnight, they dared to fight against all obstacles, including family and beliefs.

Conrionet tried to exterminate them, but they kept coming like rats in a haystack.

This is a group of crazy gamblers. Even the werewolves of Conrionai are unwilling to become the target of public criticism. A fight that is put on the table will be a tug-of-war, and the fertility rate of the werewolves cannot support such a conflict.

But fortunately, humans age very quickly, so they can wait.

As they grew older, these former adventurers won out in business competition, became wealthy, had their own positions in the city hall, and were able to extend their reach beyond Weiodi. However, their personalities turned conservative as their physical functions declined, and their energy, which had originally been used to fight against Kong Lione, was diverted to dealing with other young colleagues who wanted to come to Weiodi to get a piece of the pie.

Originally, Kong Lione had to deal with everyone, but now they only have to deal with these old guys.

The extraordinary people whose inheritance comes from associations and families will not be very loyal to the enterprises. The guards who accepted the transfer and appeared in the factory tonight instead of legally robbing the Darkin are all honest people who do things for money. Killing them all is like cutting off the hands of the Sacred Heart Fraternity.

Next are the Key Bunch and Winged Serpent.

It's not that Kong Lione is without his own allies. Even though they were few before, their number has increased now because the Sacred Heart Fraternity has chosen to wipe out the Dark Indigen. Although the Key Group is a tough nut to crack, it is not completely impossible to crack.

Only the winged snakes were not yet clearly seen by Opiros.

What they wanted, he didn't know.

Even the elders who had served under the same emperor as the ancestors of the Orlanst family did not know much about the Winged Serpent Society behind this family, not to mention the Blood Eye Clan who had just arrived here. These inheritors of the Blood Secret seemed to always be talking to themselves, not disturbing others, nor being disturbed by others. Forming the Sacred Heart Friendship Society with the merchants was one of the few major moves they made in many years, and then they fell silent again.

Recently, Turo Orlanst had conspired to kill a large number of high-ranking members of the Dark Inheritance groups, but this was nothing in Opiros's eyes. The dead were basically newcomers to Viodi under Konglione's watch, and none of them could be considered "old guys" in terms of seniority.

The elders expressed concern about this.

It's not that there were no better opportunities to suppress werewolves in the past than now, and Kong Lione had lived in peace with the Winged Snakes for hundreds of years. Now this good neighbor suddenly betrayed them, which means that they must have learned some information and changes that Kong Lione was not aware of, which led to this abnormal behavior.

The elders concluded that they must find out the information the Winged Serpent had obtained.

Although Opilus respected these elders, he had his own way.

That's the same old thing.

Ignore the changes in the outside world, make money first, then establish alliances with friendly foreign clans, train newborns to become combat soldiers, and ensure that the clan's power grows steadily.

Winged Serpents are an organization that excels at secrecy, and it is not easy to spy on their intelligence. Instead of doing things you are not good at, it is better to do well what you are good at.

At least for now, this approach seems to be very effective.

Opiros sniffed the blood in the air and watched the werewolves throw the bodies of the guards into the warehouse and burn them together with the goods. The continuous flames illuminated the river bank, and the thick smoke merged with the smoke from the huge chimney.

When he thought about the high penalty fees these hateful businessmen would have to pay for failed market orders, the muscles around his wolf kiss twitched and he revealed a satisfied smile.

But bad news soon came.

The killer squad hunting "Edwards" caught up with the main force.

The giant wolf's shoulder height was higher than an adult man's chest, but still shorter than the average height. Gerhardt half-knelt in front of it and lowered his head to narrate the course of the hunting operation.

The most tragic thing in this operation was not that the goal was not achieved, but that two newborns were killed in Warehouse No. 96.

The reduction in membership is due to the leader's incompetence and he must apologize.

But Opilus did not take this loss to heart.

"I didn't expect Edwards to recover his full strength. Facing a Ya, you did a good job by only losing two people. Don't worry about Lance's death. Since he was addicted to fighting and didn't allow you to interfere in his duel with Edwards, it was his own choice to die there. These newborns..."

The chief snorted and looked at his busy tribesmen. The werewolves he brought this time had only one thing in common - none of them had wolf blood because of the call of the Dark Moon.

"I sincerely hope that they can be like us, but those children born under the influence of the Dark Moon can never maintain their sanity. They go crazy and lose control too easily. Wolf blood is just a curse, not a blessing, for them. It only takes a week from awakening for them to turn from an ordinary villain into a bastard that even my generation despises."

"Edwards is also a newborn who has recently received the curse. We can all see that he is very young and doesn't even know how to use the roar. But he must have accumulated a lot of experience before becoming a werewolf, otherwise his mind would not be able to resist the influence of the curse, and he would not be able to gain such a powerful power."

At this point, Black Wolf uttered a regretful grumble from his throat:

"Unfortunately, the Elders Council found him first."

"Lord Opiros, I have something else to report about Edwards." Gerhardt suddenly became solemn.

After getting Opiros's permission, he continued, "Edwards is actually a pseudonym. His real name is still unclear. He did not come to Viodi this time in accordance with an order from the Presbyterian Church. He did not collude with the Sacred Heart Fraternity. He even used the name Lavinen when he gained the trust of those people in Warehouse 96."

"What a pity." Opiros added a prefix to the previous sentence.

"He is indeed a good guy, but we can't give up halfway. You should ask Lydia and Ma Kong to come back and rest, Edwards." The wolf looked around and frowned.

He remembered that his father was not here, but was placed by him in the territory of the Berdalabik guarding clan, otherwise he would have enjoyed a battle.

It's not often you come across an enemy of Edwards' caliber.

However, Opiros did not delay important matters in order to satisfy the desires of his relatives. He called a tooth who was resting and gave him the task of killing Edwards.
