Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 836 - 834: The End of the War

Yang Xiao's strategy of sneaking attacks on the enemy's mining bases achieved great success.

A typical mining base usually has only a few dozen or about a hundred guards, and most of these miner slaves generally do not participate in the resistance wars.

A force of six thousand troops was divided into six groups, each with one thousand men, sweeping through a mining base with almost no suspense, and the time it took was extremely short. In just a few minutes, they could directly annihilate the guards of the mining base and then blow up the mines.

Destroying a mine is simply much easier than digging one.

Twelve thousand people divided into twelve teams, like twelve torrents, completely swept away over eighty percent of the mining bases in the territories of Snow Leopard City and White Elephant City.

By the time Aguda and Hai Mu heard the news, there was no way to reverse it.

Hai Mu and Aguda even hesitated and did not dare to send troops out to intercept and kill, fearing that this was Long Aotian's tactic to lure enemies out.

By the afternoon of the next day, the teams led respectively by Wildman King and Elder Qi completed their tasks smoothly and destroyed more than ninety percent of the mining bases.

And they paid only the price of dozens of deaths.

When Wildman King and Elder Qi came to the joint command to report the victory, Long Aotian was extremely excited, which meant that Hai Mu could no longer send the resources of Purple Source from Purple Origin Star to the Youming Empire on Witch Star.

"Great, just great!"

Long Aotian was very excited, yelling twice loudly, almost uncontrollably eager to embrace Yang Xiao.

After all, he still felt discomfort with Yang Xiao in his heart; hugging Yang Xiao would feel awkward.

Of course, now his hatred toward Yang Xiao didn't seem to be so strong.

"Yang Xiao, what's the next move?"

"The next move is simple. Wildman King will ambush with troops in the forest near Pegasus City, Elder Qi will ambush troops near the Karachi City forest.

Now that Hai Mu's mineral resources have been cut off by us, he would be furious and likely organize a force to raid our two cities. As long as we hit him hard a couple of times, he'll probably shrink back and just guard his city."

...

Inside the White Elephant City, Hai Mu was raging.

"Bastard! That bastard Long Aotian actually sent people to attack my mining bases, totally disregarding the war agreement. Even the Wildmen would usually harass us without choosing to attack the mines, yet he went ahead and blew up all our mines,

Bastard, he's simply a super bastard....."

Aguda was also full of grief and indignation.

"Hai Mu, brother, make a decision quickly, what should we do now?"

"He acts unjustly, so I will also act unjustly. Since he is the one who broke the rules, I'll naturally destroy his mines too. If he won't let us continue sending resources back to Witch Star, we won't let them have the chance to send resources back to Witch Star either,

Hmph, dreaming of winning a war with such despicable means."

Hai Mu was no fool, he naturally understood Long Aotian's purpose in attacking the mining bases.

Aguda said:

"I heard that this raid on Snow Leopard City's territory mining bases was carried out entirely by Wildman troops."

"There's nothing surprising about that. Jino has always been allied with Wildman King before, and last time they raided our large transport ship, killing General Qiu Feng, it was Wildman King who led the troops over.

Even if he has the support of the Wildman tribe, what use is it? The mining bases are extremely dispersed, how could he possibly guard every mine?

Aguda, brother, you go back to Snow Leopard City, organize troops to raid the mines in Pegasus City's territory, and I'll organize troops to raid the mines in Karachi City's territory. Let's see who is more ruthless in eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth!"

That night, Aguda and Hai Mu each organized a force of two thousand troops to raid, but as soon as their teams left the cities, they were spotted by lurking demon beasts nearby, who promptly reported to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao quickly sent people to notify the garrison of Pegasus City and Karachi City, along with Wildman King and Elder Qi, to ambush them with troops.

As a result, Aguda and Hai Mu desperately found their troops surrounded and ambushed by a large number of forces as soon as they entered the territories of the two cities.

Since they each set out with only 2,000 men, nearly their entire army was annihilated, and only a few hundred broke through to escort the two back to Snow Leopard City and White Elephant City respectively.

"Damn, it really is a trap set by Long Aotian!"

Hai Mu sighed and finally discussed with Aguda that the best course was to hold fast to the cities and wait for an opportunity to raid.

Wildman King and Elder Qi sent people to the joint command to report good news.

"Report to His Highness the Prince, we have annihilated the Hai Mu army that raided the mining sites, wiping out over two thousand enemy troops with only Hai Mu and a few hundred guards escaping."

"Report to Yang Leader, we have destroyed Aguda's raiding army, annihilating over two thousand enemies, with Aguda and a few hundred guards escaping."

"Good! Absolutely wonderful!"

Long Aotian couldn't contain his excitement, stood up, rubbed his hands, and moved in front of Yang Xiao, extending his hands, excitedly wanting to embrace Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao instinctively stepped back two steps.

Long Aotian: "..."

Do I, am I really that hateful?

Yang Xiao said:

"Continue to remain vigilant in intelligence and reconnaissance, Wildman troops temporarily move into Pegasus City, and Elder Qi's forces also move into Karachi City for respite, Since Hai Mu is unlikely to act recklessly for now, we will watch at ease, but the future may be an exhausting protracted war, everyone should be mentally prepared.

Our end here is just to suppress Hai Mu, to prevent him from sending Crystal and Purple Source to Witch Star, whether or not Great Dragon Empire can shift the battle situation, is beyond our control."

Long Aotian looked at Yang Xiao, suddenly discovered he didn't have as much hatred for Yang Xiao nor loathed him as much.

"Yang Leader, whatever happens, thank you for your help."

"No need, it's a transaction between you and me, each takes what they need, I hope you will keep your promise."

Long Aotian: "....."

...

Due to the destruction of White Elephant City and Snow Leopard City's mining sites, a large number of miners had nowhere to go and thus flocked to the mining bases of Pegasus City, Karachi City, and Wildman Valley to work.

To attract these miners to come for mining, Yang Xiao and Long Aotian promised wages based on free identity hired workers. As a result, a large influx of migrant miners came into their mining bases for mining, and production efficiency rose significantly. In this way, the territory controlled by Yang Xiao and Long Aotian saw a more than double increase in Crystal Stone production.

A large quantity of Crystal Stones continuously poured into Great Dragon Empire, swiftly replenishing its military strength.

While Youming Empire and Snow Leopard Empire's Crystal Stone revenue decreased by a quarter, even though they later sent a transport ship with three thousand troops to assist the battle, it couldn't shake Yang Xiao's joint combat system.

Hai Mu even launched an grand battle with 20,000 troops, yet Yang Xiao leveraged his intelligence advantage, mobilizing 30,000 warriors, dealing Hai Mu a heavy blow.

This battle annihilated 10,000 of Hai Mu's guards, completely shattering his will to fight again.

Both the Witch Star battlefield and the Purple Origin Star battlefield were in agony.

Great Dragon Empire, relying on continuous Crystal Stone input, gradually recovered combat power, turning the disadvantage, into a stalemate with Youming Empire.

Seeing victory in sight, Youming Empire suddenly was reversed by Great Dragon Empire, fearing that continuing would be unprofitable, thus proactively sought a ceasefire.

Great Dragon Empire and Snow Leopard Empire, after prolonged combat, exhausted Purple Source, weary beyond measure, took the opportunity for reconciliation.

Snow Leopard Empire, with the weakest strength, becoming the final loser, lost ten percent of Witch Star's territory to Great Dragon Empire's occupation.

Furthermore, Snow Leopard Empire lost the territory of Purple Origin Star, taken over by Youming Empire.

Finally, the Three Kingdoms jointly sent officials to Purple Origin Star, convened Long Aotian, Jino, Hai Mu, and Aguda in person, announcing the Three Kingdoms' decision for a ceasefire.

The war thus ended.

On the day the war ended announcement, Yang Xiao and Wildman King swiftly returned to Wildman City with all Wildman troops.

Meanwhile, in Karachi City, a major discussion targeting Wildman City unfolded.
