<h4>Chapter 1900: Chapter 2001: Who Is the Real Winner</h4>


    The people of the Blood Alliance moved slowly because they were unfamiliar with the surroundings and suffered heavy losses.


    Xiang Yu led his men down another street ahead of them and set up an ambush.


    Xiang Yu taught everyone a simple shooting method, regardless of their experience, to first unload a clip at the opponent.


    The twenty members of the Blood Alliance walked cautiously, and just as they nned to cross the street, sudden gunfire erupted from both sides.


    The gunfire was chaotic and haphazard, surrounding the Blood Alliance people.


    Despite the intense gunfire, few of the Blood Alliance fell, only a handful at most.


    "Looks like we’ll need more practice with our shooting," Xiang Yu smiled at Xiao Xuan.


    Xiao Xuan nodded, then fired a clip with his assault rifle below.


    Xiao Xuan’s shooting skills were unquestionable, and immediately arge number fell below, leaving only a few alive.


    The terrified few dropped their guns and knelt there, raising their hands above their heads, seemingly surrendering.


    "Causing trouble here and hoping to leave alive, you’re dreaming." Xiang Yu sneered, taking Xiao Xuan’s gun and shooting at the people below.


    Seeing the Blood Alliance members being taken down, the self-defense team cheered excitedly.


    This was their firstbat with weapons, truly exhrating.


    "Clear up briefly, see if any fish slipped through," Xiang Yu said to Eck.


    Eck was feeling ecstatic today and nodded quickly, "Rest assured, leave the rest to us."


    Xiang Yu nodded and then ran with Xiao Xuan in another direction. Eck grabbed a gun and cheerfully shouted, "Brothers, go catch the escapees."


    The self-defense team was very enthusiastic, each setting out to search.


    Military people drove armored cars, and unless they got out, the guards couldn’t do anything to them.


    They recklessly drove through the streets, but each was blocked. Someone had to disassemble the blockade to proceed.


    "Bro, this isn’t working. If reinforcements arrive, we’ll be in danger," Xiao Xuan said, frowning.


    Xiang Yu also knew this but had no choice.


    "Open a gap and let them through," Xiang Yu said helplessly.


    If time dragged on, the military would realize it was the locals obstructing them. If reported to superiors, arge army would arrive, making it dangerous.


    For now, they thought it was the Blood Alliance’s trickery, directing all hatred towards them.


    Xiao Xuan understood Xiang Yu’s thoughts, and although reluctant, he nodded and let the brothers open a street.


    Once military personnel found a passable street, they quickly drove off.


    But as they left, more than half their forces were lost.


    As they finally departed, Xiang Yu sat exhaustively on the rooftop.


    "Bro, don’t be sad; it’s not your fault," Xiao Xuan understood Xiang Yu’s heartache, facing a formidable enemy helplessly.


    "Have the self-defense team clean up, burn the bodies, dismantle the weapons from military trucks," Xiang Yu said tiredly.


    "I think those military trucks can be used," Xiao Xuan said.


    Xiang Yu shook his head, "The military will definitely send someone to investigate. We can’t reveal ourselves; we must steer everything towards the Blood Alliance."


    Xiao Xuan nodded, then walked down.


    The slum residents emerged seeing the war’s end, many crying as their rtivesy dead.


    Some children, unaware of sorrow,ughed while collecting shell casings.


    The self-defense team maintained order confidently, feeling proud of their contribution.


    Most Blood Alliance members were defeated by them.


    The guards, however, were disheartened, unable to stop the military vehicles, eventually letting them go.


    Xiang Yu sat quietly, and soon Long Wu and Tie Zhuzi joined.


    Xiao Xuan had called them over.


    Long Wu knew all that happened and felt distressed seeing Xiang Yu’s destion, sitting beside him.


    Tie Zhuzi stood afar, not approaching.


    They had faced many things together, but today felt helpless, caring for those they must protect.


    Under self-defense management, the city soon calmed.


    Emotionally, Xiang Yu’s group failed, losing many buildings and civilians heedlessly.


    Economically, they were victorious, acquiring weapons, including those escorted by the military.


    These were transported by guards to a safe spot, exciting the team, seeing weapons never before seen.


    Xiang Yu sat all afternoon, then stood, smiled, "Okay, life must go on."


    Long Wu sensed Xiang Yu’s pain, holding his arm, "Don’t me yourself; once the city grows strong, none will dare bully us."


    Long Wu once opposed Xiang Yu’s militarization, now saw its necessity.


    Xiang Yu smiled, nodding, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Zhuzi, take Long Wu home; I need to go to the base."


    Long Wu wanted to apany him but knew he opposed her involvement, so stayed silent, supporting from behind.


    Upon reaching the base, everyone stood flush with victory joy.


    Xiang Yu stood before them and shouted, "Brothers, today was our first battle since formation. You’ve realized we have huge disparities. They chose to fight here because we’re weak, not even seeing us as human..."


    Xiang Yu’s speech stirred emotions, bringing teary determination to train hard and defend the city.


    Xiang Yu instructed guards to conceal the weapons, lest they be needed, and military investigations avoided.


    On the self-defense side, weapons were collected, reluctantly surrendering their spoils.


    Eck approached Xiang Yu, hoping the weapons stayed with self-defense.


    "Eck, tell them it’s not banned, only the timing isn’t right," Xiang Yu said.


    "I don’t understand," Eck responded reluctantly.


    "You’ll understand eventually," Xiang Yu smiled mildly, offering little exnation...
