Chapter 175: The powerful external support of the Evil Ghost Association
"How is the situation now?" Alexander asked immediately as he entered the headquarters of the Fierce Ghost Association.
"Rest assured, Tommy DeVito, everything is prepared!" A purple-haired ghost respectfully approached and began to report the arrangements:
"Our Fierce Ghost Association now has 1.6 million members, all at the evil spirit level or above, including 300,000 at the ferocious level.
The number of Fierce-level members is not many, only about three thousand. There are twenty at the soldier level, and for now, only one general level, which is our President Tony."
"These members, under the instructor’s arrangement, are scattered across fifteen districts in Fierce Ghost Street, with one thousand as a brigade, each divided into squads of a thousand and a hundred. The hundred-member squad has at least ten ferocious ghosts, and the thousand-member squad has at least two Fierce-level ghosts."
"Finally, depending on the region, the hundred-member squads might be further subdivided into groups of ten. The remaining members will draw fifty thousand ferocious ghosts and one thousand Fierce ghosts for mobile replenishment, with the rest facing the frontline battle."
As the purple-haired ghost continued to report, Alexander felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Do we have a significant disadvantage in numbers and strength?" Alexander asked.
"You truly are our vice president! The instructors discussed for days to work out these tactics, but you understood the reason just by listening once!" the purple-haired ghost said, admiration all over his face.
Alexander frowned and asked, "How big is the gap? Don’t we have Edward’s support?"
"Lord Edward cannot directly participate in the battle but is responsible for ensuring Tony’s safety. Recently, the Evil Ghost Association has been expanding its forces like mad."
"The Evil Ghost Association has been around for many years, and we can’t match their foundation. As far as I know, they have recruited over five million members from Fierce Ghost Street and Happy Street in this period!" said the purple-haired ghost with a serious expression.
"The numerical advantage is not the key! The problem is quality, and that’s what’s lethal!" Another voice chimed in, seasoned and authoritative, as General Henry, dressed in military uniform, slowly approached with a group of instructors.
"Over these days, I have gained some understanding of the fighting power in your world. If these members are roughly equal in strength, we will gain a significant advantage through these days of training.
Whether the opponents have five million or ten million, we might not necessarily be outmatched. But it seems there is a considerable gap among them!"
"Are the members of the Evil Ghost Association very strong?" Alexander turned to the purple-haired ghost.
"If we look at the average, we are surely stronger on our side, thanks to the Black Iron Coffin, which allows us to quickly enhance ordinary members’ strength.
But their base number is too large; even if the quantity of ordinary-level ghosts is similar to ours, they have many more at the soldier level and above," the purple-haired ghost honestly replied.
"It’s not just that!" added a red-haired ghost with an unhappy face. "I heard that the Evil Ghost Association also found external support, possibly a ghost with power and status no lower than Edward. Tony and Lord Edward went to investigate, and they haven’t come back yet."
This news left Alexander startled. The Evil Ghost Association could find external support, even someone more formidable than Edward.
As Alexander pondered in astonishment, a thunderous roar sounded. A magnificent red sports car and a golden motorcycle charged in one after the other.
"Boss!"
"Tommy DeVito!"
Tony’s eyes lit up on the golden motorcycle, and he sped towards Alexander. Before even reaching him, Tony slapped the motorcycle, leaping into the air.
With his general-level strength, he jumped tens of meters, hugging Alexander tightly.
"Good brother! You’re finally here!"
"Brother Tony!" Feeling the deep bond from the other side, Alexander couldn’t help but embrace him tightly: "The Ghost Street Championship is tomorrow. This is absolutely crucial for our association. How could I not come?"
"Good brother!" Tony clenched his fists and hammered Alexander’s back firmly, everything unspoken yet understood.
"Sometimes, I envy the camaraderie between you brothers!" a voice suddenly rang out.
The door of the red sports car opened like angel wings, and Edward, dressed in a black floor-length tailcoat and sunglasses, slowly got out of the car. Casually pulling out the white handkerchief folded in his breast pocket, he leaned against the car, elegantly wiping his hands.
"Envy? Come join us! We’ll save you a spot!" Alexander said with a laugh.
"No! Never!" Edward shook his head as if it were a rattle, waving his hands: "I don’t want to be targeted!"
"Huh? Does my big brother Louis like to target his subordinates? I must ask him about this when I see him!" Alexander said.
"Come on, you’re not serious!" Edward was frantic, throwing the handkerchief away, glaring at Alexander: "I’m here to help you in the Ghost Street Championship. Can’t you treat me with a little respect? Why would you let Louis know my thoughts?"
Edward’s words were a joke, and soon they all burst into laughter.
Henry and the others nearby watched with envy.
Looking at Alexander, he was almost like a godlike figure.
These instructors worked tirelessly to train, and although they had won the respect of many members of the Ghost Association over these days, they still felt like outsiders.
As a chosen one, Alexander was able to call these ghosts brothers without any barriers, making others envious.
"Now let’s get down to business!"
After the laughter, Edward spoke seriously: "This time, you really might need to trouble Louis again. With just the Fierce Ghost Association and me, we have no chance against them!"
"Is the Evil Ghost Association that strong?" Alexander asked, somewhat surprised.
"The Evil Ghost Association is indeed strong. They now have nearly ten million members, two million evil spirits, half a million ferocious ghosts, thirty thousand fierce ones, over a thousand soldier ghosts, and five general ghosts!
We’ve been growing rapidly, but our opponents haven’t been idle either. However, that’s not the main issue. The problem is that they’ve found outside help!" Tony said, his expression heavy.
"What kind of outside help? Stronger than you and Edward?" Alexander asked curiously.
"Mr. Alexander, don’t joke about me. What’s an Edward in comparison! This time, it’s the favorite confidant of Flame King from Happy Apartments!"
Edward said with a bitter smile: "This person is no simple character, suddenly appearing as if out of nowhere, becoming Kassadin’s confidant overnight.
Not only was he promoted to the Prince level by Flame King using the Hell Prison Dark Flower in a short time, but he was also assigned two other Princes as subordinates!
Sam’s current status even surpasses some ghost kings, and he’s now one of the most envied people in Happy Apartments!"
"Sam? He’s reached the Prince level?"
