Resurrection Empire-Chapter 947 - 365: Gradual Accumulation, Huaihai Campaign (Part 3)

It turned out that Ren Zhong somehow located his command post's position and medium-sized warships simultaneously fired numerous incendiary bombs.

In the sky, the numerous flying bombs were as dense as locusts.

Behind the bombs, a large number of Mechanical Warriors followed closely.

Augustus dared not let the guards leave, withdrew from the fortifications at the first moment, and boarded a private small spaceship, intending to flee.

Unexpectedly, his spaceship had just lifted off when it was simultaneously hit by energy cannons from dozens of ground vehicles, destroying the engine.

Subsequently, Augustus was protected by his confidants and escaped from the crashing spaceship.

After a brief discussion, one of the confidants with particularly strong mobility took Augustus to escape into the distance, and the guards, including the Level Nine Armored Soldier, stayed behind to cover the retreat.

Ren Zhong led the elites to attack.

Ren Zhong immediately recognized this as the Armored Soldier who had killed him over a hundred times.

Enemies meeting face to face, Ren Zhong's anger was particularly intense, he first had his subordinates assist from the side, and personally went forward to engage in combat.

Relying on their numerical advantage and cooperation, the others quickly annihilated the other Level Eight and Seventh Level Armored Soldiers.

According to conventional understanding, Ren Zhong would never be a match for this Molten Rock Type Armored Soldier.

However, times had changed, his experience in dealing with the opponent was too rich, too familiar with the opponent's every move, and he had powerful troops and sufficient firepower on his side.

Initially, Ren Zhong just needed to entangle him, call for fire support when falling into disadvantage, so he managed to escape danger without defeat.

Later on, as the opponent's stamina declined, Ren Zhong timely replaced the armor energy module, continuing to entangle.

Further on, when other Starfire Soldiers successfully eliminated the rest of the guards, they could free up their hands to fully assist Ren Zhong in pursuing the Level Nine Armored Soldier.

This round of combat lasted for a long time, from the east side of the county town to the south gate, and then outside the town.

Countless buildings were destroyed along the way, thousands of county town citizens and Starfire Army soldiers died in the aftermath of the battle, several mountains were collapsed, until near dusk did Ren Zhong and others finally exhaust the opponent's stamina and melted him in a high-temperature furnace.

On the other side, Hugh Augustus, already retreated to a safe place, was furious but helpless.

This outing was originally a private action with the intention of settling personal grudges. He never imagined Ren Zhong's strength would escalate to such a height in just one year, and didn't expect his whereabouts, already hidden so well, would be leaked.

Subsequently, Augustus sent a signal through the just-recovered satellite communication system to the ground, aiming to directly detonate the bombs inside his controlled puppets within the county town.

He believed there must be a traitor among these people, rather than investigating who the traitor was afterward, it would be cleaner to blow them all up, and hopefully kill some of Ren Zhong's subordinates with these bombs.

Augustus would never have thought that Ren Zhong's means to deal with him were not sophisticated, purely normal electromagnetic communication interception methods.

It's just that this time Ren Zhong brought along Hua Yuelan, an expert in cryptography, and every command Augustus issued to the outside was swiftly cracked by Hua Yuelan within seconds.

His intelligence system was completely transparent to Ren Zhong.

This was the difference brought by divergent war ideologies.

Compared to Hugh Augustus, who self-studied strategies from virtual histories, Ren Zhong, who read extensively on true human war history, was on another level.

Hugh Augustus' desperate move did not work.

The reason was simple, Ren Zhong was precisely the leader of a project team under the Deep Communications Group's revival plan.

Such actions related to his interest, the Deep Communications Group would always give the report to project leader Ren before execution.

Ren Zhong cut off the signal, saving the lives of these enemies just betrayed by Hugh Augustus, and swiftly countered with a backstab, truthfully telling the story, quickly consolidating local support.

The Battle of Huaihai declared an end.

Ren's group expanded its control area by nearly one-third.

Ren Zhong delegated the cleanup work to others, while he himself headed straight to the two cities between Yangsheng City and Huaihai City with Huo Donghua, Wang Zhaofu, and others, immediately commencing negotiation work.

The negotiations lasted a week, afterward, the two cities announced a change of course, recognized the Starfire Coin trade system, and opened all county towns and districts to Ren's group employees.

From this point, Ren Zhong finally connected his territory into a complete piece.

Ren's group finally rose from an unknown small force to a large regional power controlling five cities, with a territory spanning nearly two million square kilometers, and a population under its rule reaching twenty-five million.

Even across the First Continent, Ren's group was now the strongest single entity under the autonomy decree.

Under such historical background, Ren Zhong finally received a summons from the Association.

Ying Hao helplessly notified Ren Zhong, quoting as follows:

"Due to your existence already completely breaking the balance of the autonomy decree, and your personal identity being too important, whether it's me, the Deep Communication Group, or the Purple Crystal Mining and Tanggu Group, we all need you, and lately the Rock Group is also interested in you. The Elder Council unanimously believes you should be transferred to Upper Origin Capital City."

Ren Zhong raised objections, stating that the Mengdu Group also never calmed down?

Ying Hao responded: "We all know the small moves of the Mengdu Group, but haven't you noticed they haven't consolidated the various peripheral forces into a whole? Your management model naturally possesses unification, so you are different."

Ren Zhong: "I see."
