Zheng Tian's series of arrangents fiercely shocked the villagers, as well as the Third Army, the original cannon fodder captives, the tens of thousands of forced town defenders, the surrendered Town Guard, and the original professional Scavengers.
They had never imagined that even Citizens could be put on trial.
This overturned everyone's perception.
Initially, so people harbored slight doubts, but when the Law Enforcent Team first verified the Mayor's misdeeds, and Ou Youning, who was "confined," ca out and shot the man in the head.
People understood that the Starfire Army was serious.
Indescribable complex emotions surfaced in everyone's hearts, their feelings were overwhelming.
Imdiately, Zheng Tian struck while the iron was hot and reiterated Ren Zhong's words.
Zheng Tian publicly declared in the square, "President Ren said, although Ren's Group once accumulated tens of trillions of Contribution Points as its foundation, due to the internet disconnection event, President Ren's funds shrank significantly. In the new situation, Ren's Group is in need of revitalization, and we still require fresh blood and talents. President Ren's original words were, how do talents co? Everyone has the potential to be a talent! So, from now on, no person affiliated with Ren's Group will ever starve. We will conduct a detailed investigation of the economic, financial, and health status of the town's residents; as long as you sign to beco employees of Ren's Group, you will receive free food, production tools, weapons, and basic dical services. Additionally, so individuals who made ritorious reports during this war will be rewarded."
"There is gain for the old, rewards for rits. Everyone has hope, and efforts are rewarded! This is the purpose of our Starfire Army! Well, next, we welco those aspiring to join the Starfire Army to actively enlist, with salaries upon enlistnt, free dical treatnt upon injury, and long-term compensation for families and children in case of disability or death. Of course, not everyone can enlist. We don't want to make up the numbers with diocrity, we want elites. We will also consider the applicants' ability levels and health conditions."
Two hours passed, reaching eight o'clock in the evening, and the personnel size of the Eastern Expedition Third Army suddenly increased from eighty thousand to one hundred and sixty thousand, reaching a personnel scale of 350,000.
At Zheng Tian's command, the first, second, and third armies set out east again, splitting into two routes, simultaneously advancing towards the other two towns.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the battles in the other two towns ca to an end.
Like before, it only lasted a re ten minutes.
Facing the heavy EMP Missiles of the low-flying Airships, these supposed "warriors," still resting on pre-disconnection tactical and technical thods, had no power to resist at all.
After taking the towns, Zheng Tian and Yuan Qinh followed the sa formula, recreating what was done in the previous town, holding public trials and dealing with local industry owners and Mayors overnight.
This ti, the two slightly reputable Mayors narrowly escaped death, luckily keeping their lives.
At this point, the rulers of the Seven Towns Alliance hiding in Zhan Sha County fell into imnse panic.
They were like frightened quails.
A few business owners, who had reached Fifth Level Citizen status, already sneaked away that night with their valuables.
Of course, they were not completely ruthless, as they left their direct subordinates behind to assist other business owners in mobilizing troops.
Most who hadn't reached Fifth Level, lacking city residence rights, and were middle-ground business owners, were abandoned, forced to struggle.
But here a new issue erged.
During the previous military actions, the Seven Towns Alliance had already deployed its elites, but these investnts turned out to be in vain.
Now what they can mobilize essentially consists of the elderly, sick, disabled, won, and children from the towns, and they can only use guns to drive people to the frontline.
But this is not the worst of it.
The biggest issue lies in the equipnt.
Though the Seven Towns possess abundant mineral and Ruined Beast resource output, the industrial layout extends only to rough tal material processing, without further deepening into finished component processing, let alone complete military factories. The industries within Sha County are also not primarily focused on armants.
The internal weapons reserves of the Seven Towns remain at the sa level as when Ren Zhong first took over Chromium Carbon Town, holding only so low-level but plentiful basic military supplies.
Previously, to forcibly form a fifty-strong army, the business owners already cleared out the old equipnt pressed at the bottom of the boxes in warehouses.
Now, talking about reorganizing an army of hundreds of thousands is just empty talk. Regardless of the military skills these hastily conscripted "warriors" possess, most people don't even have guns; they can't just charge with wooden sticks, can they?
