Yang Fei stood up, his hands hovering in the air, and his powerful presence and sharp gaze made many people instinctively close their mouths.

Yang Fei said casually, "They've blocked the intersection, which essentially means they've blocked everyone's way to survive, and surely everyone feels frustrated."

"But at this moment, no one wants to be the one sticking their neck out to provoke the Skyfire Mercenaries. I fear that right now, someone is gloating behind your backs."

He gave everyone a faint glance.

"I can guarantee that there are many armed forces behind you watching the spectacle and laughing at you."

Upon hearing this, Sha Jin and Hugo's expressions turned very unpleasant.

Hugo nodded, "That's indeed the case. Please, sir, guide us. What should we do?"

Yang Fei nodded, seemingly talking to himself yet also questioning Hugo.

"So, how do we turn those watching from behind into opponents of the Skyfire Mercenaries, prompting them to attack the Skyfire Mercenaries?"

Hugo perked up, then shook his head.

"Impossible. Without substantial benefits, these people won't actively attack the Skyfire Mercenaries."

Sha Jin also shook his head.

"Even for us, facing the powerful Skyfire Mercenaries is quite a struggle; others are even less likely to rashly attack them."

Yang Fei chuckled, blinking his eyes, and pointed at Hugo.

"This old brother is absolutely right. Without sufficient temptation, ordinary mercenaries won't attack the Skyfire Mercenaries. But what if there's enough benefit?"

Hugo was stunned, muttering, "Sufficient benefit, what is that?"

Yang Fei turned his back and said lightly.

"For mercenaries, wealth is always the priority. If a vault suddenly surfaces in the desert, hiding countless treasures from an ancient kingdom, wouldn't you say that's tempting?"

Hugo's eyes widened suddenly, radiating immense delight.

"I understand now, you're talking about King Solomon's vault. We can spread false information, saying that the Skyfire Mercenary Corps set up checkpoints because they discovered the legendary Solomon's treasure in the desert."

His mind opened up, and his thoughts became crystal clear.

"I bet that as soon as this information is leaked, all those waiting mercenaries will undoubtedly attack the checkpoints set by the Skyfire Mercenaries like sharks smelling blood."

"Then we'll be able to solve these irritating folks without shedding any blood and restore our reputation."

Yang Fei laughed heartily, pats this clever Old Maozi.

"You're absolutely right; talking with smart people is relaxing."

"Just a few seemingly plausible sheepskin map fragments and an elusive ancient prophecy, and you can easily uproot the Skyfire Mercenaries' base."

Yang Fei patted Hugo on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Brother, keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you."

He turned and left, walked two steps, then returned to pick up one of Hugo's precious cigars from the table, put it in his mouth, lit it, and leisurely left the tent.

Yang Fei had already made the plan clear; the remaining grunt work was left to Hugo, Sha Jin, and the others.

Hugo stared blankly at Yang Fei's departing figure, his face full of admiration.

"Colonel Sha Jin, who is this gentleman?"

Sha Jin, too, was won over by Yang Fei's method. Hearing Hugo's words, he sighed.

"This gentleman is my client and also an unparalleled master. His sword is more powerful than our heavy machine guns."

Hugo interrupted Sha Jin.

"No, you're mistaken. Only a god possesses such wisdom. You're fortunate that such a person is your friend and not your enemy."

Sha Jin nodded in agreement, sighed.

"Even I didn't expect that Mr. Yang not only possesses great strength but also such high intelligence."

Yang Fei returned to Nuannuan's tent, joyfully smoking the cigar he had just acquired.

Upon seeing his sly expression, Nuannuan couldn't help but smile.

"Why, who did you mess up now? You're truly a super troublemaker."

Yang Fei laughed loudly, proudly self-praising.

"Being a troublemaker is a skilled job. You not only need to stir things up but also maintain the momentum to retreat safely at any time."

"Just watch, in less than two days, things here will become incredibly lively."

Two days later, a mysterious rumor seemed to have grown wings, spreading everywhere.

King Solomon's treasure was discovered in the Aiji Desert, currently occupied by a mysterious armed force.

Along with the rumor circulated several leather scroll fragments and a few misinterpreted ancient prophecies.

This fueled the mysterious and captivating treasure rumor.

The legend of Solomon's treasure is widely spread across the world.

Numerous explorers and archaeologists were zealously pursuing it, and suddenly, the treasure's specific location emerged.

Countless explorers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters responded swiftly, all rushing to the Aiji Desert.

Within just two days, the desert's situation became turbulent.

A total of over twenty armed forces, both eminent and hidden, congregated, camping within less than thirty kilometers from the Skyfire Mercenary Camp.

Encouraged by Yang Fei, the less than five hundred-strong Mercenary Alliance quietly withdrew, avoiding the main forces, moving twenty kilometers to the northwest.

As Yang Fei explained, it's to prevent getting splattered with blood when the numerous armed forces engage in battle.

By now, who leaked the information no longer matters.

The treasure left by King Solomon is stirring the hormones and passion of every armed force. Various tales are flooding this vast desert.

The Aiji authorities have also become aware, but wisely chose silence.

After all, the vast desert, squeezed between the territories of several neighboring countries, is a chaotic place governed by neither, making it a paradise for mercenaries and private armed forces.

At the Skyfire Mercenary Headquarters, a valiant and fierce Asian man dressed in dusty yellow camouflage suit had his brows furrowed tightly.

Behind him, a hand-drawn military map marked with many red dots, each representing a hostile armed group occupying territory.

At this moment, the northeastern part of the military map was densely packed with red dots, vaguely encircling the Skyfire Mercenaries.

And these red dots were still increasing.

This man was Jin Zhong, the highest military commander of the Skyfire Mercenaries.

His poised and fierce demeanor revealed that the general had fought countless tough battles and wars.

Jin Zhong never imagined that overnight, this area would gather so many armed forces, carrying a subtle hostility toward the Skyfire Mercenaries.

The scouts barely exerted any effort to uncover the truth.

This massive gathering of armed forces was due to a ridiculous and laughable rumor.

Jin Zhong wanted to laugh, but looking at the increasingly crowded map of red dots, his laugh could only be bitter.
