As for the vanguard on the ground, it was composed of hundreds of mammoth war cars, arranged in a single line.
If any Ruined Beast dared to appear in front of the army, the mammoth war cars would often open fire from a hundred ters away, sweeping the area clean.
Once the army passed through, the Demolition Master within the ranks would efficiently dismantle everything, leaving only a pile of debris on the ground.
This army beca like a combine harvester, making onlookers along the way tremble with fear.
In the conference room of the Starfire No. 01 warship overhead, Ren Zhong stood in front of a projection map, looking at the many commanders below.
He first succinctly stated the purpose of this military operation.
"This campaign, nad the Second East Expedition, consists of the four divisions of the Starfire Army, with a total of 240,000 participants. The total commander is Zheng Tian, and the combat goal is to capture the three counties of Huaihai City, excluding Zhan Sha County, within a week. I will serve only as a combatant, making no additional arrangents and following the orders of the total commander. I have only one requirent: victory in battle, conquer every attack, you must return, and do not disturb the civilians."
The first battle began the next morning. With the help of four real warships, the East Expedition Army quickly breached the city walls and advanced into the county town.
Half an hour later, under the witness of multiple parties in the county town, Ren Zhong signed a rger agreent with the county governor and so core business owners, completing the privatization of the county town.
Moreover, the Starfire warship and chanized troops showed their ferocity for the first ti abroad, startling many covert observers.
In fact, the internal combustion technology route that Ren Zhong promoted was not advanced. The high-rank performance of the equipnt was far inferior to the original Source Star technology achievents. However, it was a unique approach, as if he suddenly had an extra tech tree out of thin air compared to others.
Whatever others had, he had, and what others did not have, he also had.
The next day, as soon as the East Expedition Army arrived outside the satellite town of the second county, the governor on the opposite side took the initiative to surrender.
In the following days, the East Expedition Army split into smaller units. With the assistance of four warships, they surrounded the last county town from four directions simultaneously.
This county town's situation was unique. A neighboring force supported by the ngdu Group had already extended its tentacles here, quietly deploying over a hundred freshly minted elental Armored Soldiers in the town, among which the strongest reached Level Eight, numbering three.
The rest were Seventh Level. The comprehensive combat power of this ambush force was very strong.
Moreover, Hugh Augustus had already arrived in the county town with his guards secretly, preparing to personally command the battle, attempting to eliminate the major threat of Ren Zhong.
In the early stages of the war, the County Guard had no power to fight back, retreating step by step. They quickly yielded the city walls, allowing the warships to blast open the do.
Seated in the command post on the west side of the county town, Augustus was not at all flustered, even looking excited.
He was waiting for Ren Zhong's people to enter the town as usual, so that his elite forces would have the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack and kill Ren Zhong on the spot.
The following process did not diverge from Augustus's expectations. Indeed, the ever-decided vanguard leader Ren Zhong personally led the elite to be the first to enter the town, heading straight for the County Governnt Tower.
As Ren Zhong had just arrived below the County Governnt, suddenly, over a hundred lurking Armored Soldiers burst out from all directions, rushing straight at the forefront of Ren Zhong's group.
For a mont, the Starfire vanguard appeared slightly chaotic, with Wang Qiao, Ma Xiaoling, and a group of elite troops above the Fifth Level poised to cover Ren Zhong's retreat.
However, Ren Zhong calmly instructed Wen Lei, Chen ng, and other Heavy Equipnt Warriors nearby to activate the internal modification devices of their armor.
One by one, special energy shields were deployed, connecting together to form a fish-scale shield.
Imdiately after, the warships outside the city simultaneously activated their energy cannons, aiming at Ren Zhong's position and executing a sweeping strike.
After a round of terrible bombardnt, the County Governnt Tower was leveled, yet Ren Zhong and the others remained unhard beneath the fish-scale shield.
However, Augustus's ambush suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the forces lost, and most of the survivors were injured.
After a brief adjustnt, the East Expedition Army imdiately took action, surrounding the County Governnt Tower from all sides. In less than ten minutes, they had completely wiped out the ambush force that Augustus valued so much.
Augustus suppressed his shock, intending to command the Ninth Level elental Armored Soldier Guards beside him to forcibly carry out a decapitation mission, but the alarm sounded deafeningly in his ears.
