Resurrection Empire-Chapter 937 - 360: Long-Awaited, High Rank Combat Power_3
Ju Qingmeng nodded, sticking out her tongue, "I know."
"Alright, I need to do some physical training now. You'll be responsible for keeping up with the Northern Expedition Army and the East Expedition Army's progress."
"Okay."
After chatting with Ju Qingmeng, Ren Zhong returned to the villa, went into his private training room, and increased the equipment's strength to the maximum, starting his daily practice again.
He trained until four in the afternoon, when both armies reported victories.
The East Expedition Army's low-altitude airships achieved remarkable success, rendering the city defense equipment in Sha County absolutely suppressed.
In less than two hours of fighting, the East Expedition Army entered the county town.
The smooth progress owed much to Ma Xiaoling's efforts.
Teacher Ma first stealthily infiltrated the town alone, contacting an old classmate from Combat Vocational College, who was now a deputy commander in the Sha County Guard.
Ma Xiaoling used her less-than-fluent speaking skills to reason and persuade, even resorting to a few punches, genuinely moving her former classmate.
Of course, many factors contributed to the change in stance from the other party.
Ma Xiaoling's fists were just one part of it.
She not only informed them that the East Expedition Army had overwhelming strength but also showed them via video the current living conditions under Ren Zhong's rule.
Back in the college days, Ma Xiaoling wasn't very popular, but this person got along with her due to being relatively kind-hearted. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
After a brief hesitation, this person proactively became an informant, communicating with other guard members in the town who still had relatives in various towns.
Here, this informant played a small trick.
He didn't inform them of their family's life or death status, just that they might still be alive.
Considering the public trials Ma Xiaoling mentioned were held, some guard members' families were publicly executed for wrongdoing, but in such situations, a vague answer was much better than confirming their families' deaths.
After some secret arrangements, Ma Xiaoling and her classmate managed to convert nearly two-thirds of the grassroots guard members.
As soon as the battle began, these informants immediately turned their guns to assist in breaching the town.
After conquering Sha County, Zheng Tian was uncertain, so she sent an inquiry to Ren Zhong, asking whether to continue public trials in the town.
After thinking for a moment, Ren Zhong said, "Currently, there are no Fifth Level citizens in the town, apart from those in the Seven Towns Alliance; most of the rest are just ordinary everyday citizens. Many have never even visited a city in their entire lives and had no opportunity to commit crimes, just like Wang Zhaofu before. We don't need to create a massacre to cause panic. Of course, investigations are still necessary to figure out who is reliable and worth recruiting, who should be guarded against, and who should be restrained, keeping everything clear in our minds."
Zheng Tian accepted the order.
As for the Northern Expedition Army side, everything went smoothly as well.
Before the fighting began, the Starfire Military Industry had manufactured two fresh reinforced low-altitude airships that arrived on scene and fired two EMP missiles.
However, the opposing side seemed somewhat prepared, equipping many devices with radiation shield layers, so the EMP missiles achieved only half success.
But it didn't matter. The Northern Expedition Army's firepower was stronger, and it was no surprise that they plowed through, followed by the army pressing forward, storming the town and engaging in street warfare with Death Soldiers who had bombs planted on their necks.
Finally, the war ended with Shi Xuan leading the Special Forces to rush into the town hall, finding the mayor and numerous business owners, and completing a decapitation strike.
Thus, the Ren Corporation established a base in Jianghao City, stationed 200,000 troops, and surveyed the entire area.
At this time, Ren Zhong received a call from Gao Zhengwen at Chromium Carbon Mining.
On the other end, Gao Zhengwen's tone was somewhat trembling, praising Ren Zhong as a god, saying three days meant three days.
Ren Zhong only smiled and replied, "You are too kind, Mr. Gao; my previous promises are still effective, and you are still my partner."
Gao Zhengwen was extremely grateful and humble.
Without much effort, Ren Zhong completed absolute control over Sha County.
At this time, a peace proposal from Jianghao City was delivered to Shi Xuan, who then passed it to Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong firmly stated, "There's nothing to discuss. The second and third armies will rest briefly in Sha County and depart tonight, heading to Jianghao City. The East Expedition Army has already absorbed some of the county guard from Sha County, and I'm negotiating with guards in Liao Yuan County, Chongyi County, and West Lake County. Our shortage of high-rank combat power will be effectively supplemented. This battle will continue until there are no more enemies left!"
…
Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The flames of war in Jianghao City finally extinguished.
Just as Ren Zhong said, a complete victory.
