Chapter 214 Kingly Way
Chapter 214 Kingly Way
To explain it with the education of the Flower Planting Family, Negan's ruling style is all based on tyranny, ignoring the benevolence and righteousness of the kingly way, and he cannot practice both.
With Negan's domineering power, he is fully capable of uniting all forces, and even annexing them, absorbing all talents and labor, and developing the productivity of the main body of the Saviors to a new stage.
However, Negan has always focused on plundering, forcing other forces to pay tribute, and even sending teams to search for the whereabouts of more forces in order to expand the channels of plundering.
In the original plot, Daryl, Abraham, and Black Sasha were discovered by the Savior Army's search team, who forced them to lead the way to the Alexandria community, hoping to make Alexandria the new place of sacrifice.
Of course, if Negan wants to cooperate and benevolent with other forces, there may be resistance. After all, his "Savior Army" has a large number of anti-order thugs, who will kill people at the slightest disagreement under Negan's control. If he wants to reform the Savior Army, the consequence may be that he will fall into civil strife.
So much for Negan’s introduction.
The Salvation Hall is the factory headquarters of the Salvation Army.
A blonde woman with a striped tattoo on her neck hurriedly found Negan. She whispered something in Negan's ear, and Negan, who was immersed in a sense of accomplishment, suddenly looked gloomy.
"Follow me, Laura." Negan said in a deep voice.
The two walked outside the factory, and a group of Saviors on motorcycles had just returned to the Salvation Hall. When they saw Negan, they immediately got off the motorcycles and stood respectfully with their heads bowed.
"All dead?"
Negan walked up to the leader with steady and slow steps and asked.
"Huey and his men were shot dead. They were all killed with one shot. We found traces of the group's departure. They were heading along Highway 95. Their target must be Washington."
The white leader with greasy curly hair continued tremblingly: "We also found a lot of shells on the street. They should have a lot of automatic heavy firepower."
The team heading to Petersburg was completely wiped out, and Negan's good mood completely disappeared. He stared at the team leader, who walked slowly around him, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face again.
"You did a good job. At least you brought back information."
Negan patted the leader on the shoulder and ordered, "Go find this group of people. Also, notify all the dependent territories to double the resources they provide this week."
"Okay, Negan."
The leader received Negan's praise, and the frequency of his body shaking decreased a lot. He turned around and wanted to ride his motorcycle away, but a hard object suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"and many more."
Negan smiled and stopped the leader with a bat. His bat was called Lucille, which was his symbol of power.
"Is there anything else...Negan..." The team leader didn't dare to move. He stopped where he was and began to tremble again.
"Tell me who you are?"
"I'm Negan..."
"Wow, that's what I mean. I can't hear you clearly. Did you eat too much dick outside? Is your voice hoarse?"
Nigan smiled, leaning forward and putting his ear close to the leader.
"I'm Negan!!"
The leader swallowed his saliva and shouted with all his courage.
"what about you?"
Negan looked at the rest of the search team.
A group of men who were even more muscular than Negan immediately shouted firmly: "I am Negan!!"
"Very well, go and do your work."
Negan raised the corner of his mouth playfully and left leisurely carrying Lucille.
Far southwest of Washington, in the community of Alexandria.
Maggie and Glenn, who killed the Savior search team, are discussing community affairs at Deanna's home. Unknown to them, a huge trouble is looking for them.
Rick and Sean are torturing the wolf captives, and Dianna is worried about the future of the Alexandria community. Dianna and her family are sitting on the sofa, and the people with some influence and work ability in the community are also there.
The small doors have been re-welded and reinforced, but the main door needs new building materials to be repaired. The construction team has rushed to the woods camp that was previously attacked to transport materials.
"We need to fight back. If we don't kill them all, they will kill us all." Maggie said to Deanna seriously.
"You're right, but we need everyone's advice."
Diana rubbed her temple and said a little tiredly.
Alan sat astride the head of the sofa next to Maggie. She had made a huge contribution in this battle, and she began to look for her own voice.
"At this point, I don't think we need any more advice. Get the intelligence, prepare for battle, and kill them all. It's that simple from now on."
Alan looked at the eyes cast around her. At her age, when she talked about bloody topics, the adult residents around her always had a feeling of unreality. When did the world become like this?
In other words, after experiencing what happened today, they realized: When did they fail to keep up with the development of the outside world?
"Don't look at me like that. If you're still willing to sit there and wait for them to come and stab you and your family at any time...then just ignore what I said."
Alan spread his hands, looked at everyone with contempt and said:
"Look, what exactly are you protecting? A mother was hacked to death in the community, but no one came out to help her?"
"Were you living too comfortably and didn't react? Or were you so cowardly that you just stood by and watched? Waited for those thugs to knock on your door? Then stood up and resisted?"
Almost everyone was silent. They couldn't answer Alan's words. No one today could be as brave as Alan and Abraham.
"Hey! Sweetheart! This is a place for adults to talk, and you don't understand what adults think at all!"
There were still some people in the crowd who were asking for trouble. Dianna's son, Spencer, stood up and retorted to Alan, making fun of his age.
Alan sneered and ignored this shameless guy. Today, Spencer and Black Sasha were guarding the gate. After the gate was breached, Spencer disappeared, and only Black Sasha was helping her and Abraham.
“Watch your mouth!!”
Alan was not angry, but Maggie was. She would not allow the Green family to be bullied, especially when what Alan said was correct.
"Me? Please understand, outsiders, it is our family that built the community! I have the right to speak here! You don't!!"
Spencer stood up, his steps a little unsteady. Although he didn't look drunk, everyone could tell that he had been drinking.
Alan turned to look at Maggie and Glenn. Her sister and brother-in-law were about to stand up and attack at the same time.
"Do not."
Alan reached out to stop Maggie and Glenn, she stared at Spencer and denied his statement.
“This community was not built by your family.”
Alan stood up from the sofa and looked at Spencer who was laughing at her.
"What is she talking about? Is that nonsense from a child? Huh?"
Spencer smiled at the people around him, but no one wanted to respond to him.
“It’s true that Deanna and Reggie are the creators of this great idea, but you are just their child. You have never participated in the construction of the community! You clearly don’t know anything, yet you still dare to speak nonsense here!”
"It was Tobin, France, and the people from the construction team who built this place. We from the Destiny Front are here to help you live better. If you think the community will be better off without us, then we can leave."
Alan spoke indifferently. She decided to step back and let people decide the right to speak for the Pioneer Team. How could the community survive without them?
The residents' emotions will surely rise immediately.
“You…you bunch of outsiders, maybe those people are your accomplices, you just want our community!!”
Spencer's mind was already a little confused, and after hearing Alan's words that belittled him, he spoke without thinking and talked nonsense in retaliation.
An adult who was over 12 meters tall debated with a -year-old child and lost the debate. Diana was so angry that she was shaking all over and immediately shouted, "Spencer! Get out!!"
Deanna stood up from the sofa, her tough attitude as if she had returned to the pre-disaster period when she was having a political debate with other members of Congress.
"Mom...I..." Spencer opened his mouth. He didn't expect his mother to treat him like this.
"Get out, kid, you've had too much to drink."
Reggie stood up with a serious face and asked his eldest son to leave the living room. The conversation had come to this point. If Spencer didn't leave, it would be the people of the Destiny Front who would leave. The community absolutely couldn't do without Maggie and the others.
Spencer smiled drunkenly, stood up and left the living room.
"Grandma Deanna, please forgive my offense."
Seeing this, Alan stopped the verbal attacks. People had already made a compromise, so she chose to give everyone face. After all, she would still need the support of this group of people for future matters.
"It's okay, baby. You're right. With young people like you here, no wonder the Destiny Front is so powerful."
Dianna managed her facial expressions very well, she was scowling one second and smiling the next.
"Well, I'll continue then."
Alan knew that when he could get ahead of others, he had to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, if he missed the chance, he wouldn't know when he would be able to do so again.
"My sister Maggie will implement the Destiny Front workers' education in the community. The production work of the community is well led by you, but combat defense skills are everyone's shortcoming!"
"We need Aaron to continue recruiting survivors and manage the community using the Destiny Front method. What do you think?"
Alan looked at Deanna.
Dianna didn't expect Alan to be so good at seizing opportunities, but the opportunity came from the child she gave it to, so she couldn't refuse it.
Moreover, Dianna just wanted to know how the Destiny Fort was managed. For a force to grow to such a powerful level, its management model must be unique.
"What do you think?"
Dianna looked at the people around her. Her heart had long been inclined towards the position of destiny that Maggie mentioned. Maggie gave her a lot of respect, and now she only needed people's opinions.
France, who was saved by Alan, was the first to stand up and raised her hand and said, "I agree. If I could be as strong as Alan, maybe we wouldn't have encountered these troubles."
"Yeah, I agree, I don't want to deal with this shit anymore." Tobin also raised his hand without hesitation.
"I agree, she's very brave."
"After all, she stood up, didn't she?"
More and more people expressed their views and raised their hands to express their opinions.
Deanna suddenly felt lighter, and the pressure of managing the community suddenly reduced by more than half. She is old, and it feels good now.
"Then let's do it. Maggie, you need to have a good chat with everyone there." Deanna looked at Maggie kindly.
Maggie silently gave Alan a thumbs up in her heart. She originally wanted to take it slow, but she didn't expect her sister to be so supportive.
"The Destiny Position..."
