35: Chapter 35 Raze to the Ground, Base Appears! A Colossal City of Dark Gold and Steel!
Such a major incident had occurred in Portland, and the other two towns that hadn't declared their stance received the news immediately!
They sent people to keep an eye on Portland City; after all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and they still wanted to wait and see! Besides, they each had several hundred men in their hands!
But they hadn't expected Qin Yang to take down such a large city so quickly! This terrified the other two towns.
Meanwhile, Qin Yang was still searching inside the City Lord's Mansion. He pushed open a large door and took a closer look! Good heavens, money was piled up right here!
"Not bad! This guy earned quite a lot!"
Qin Yi laughed and said, "No matter how much he earned, isn't it all the Boss's now?"
Qin Yang nodded, had people collect all the cash, and then ordered them to start recruiting workers within the city! At the same time, he formed a thousand-man guard unit.
It was to be used to protect the safety of the city and the oil fields! Then the entire Portland City erupted; there were too few spots! From then on, the equipment that Qin Yang didn't care for finally had a place to go.
At the same time, other power-holders within Tali Province took out the resources they held in their hands one after another!
They didn't know until they looked, and what they saw was shocking! Two iron mines! One coal mine! Plus the one in Portland, that made a total of two oil fields!
Qin Yi couldn't help but say, "Boss! If the Government Forces knew there were so many resources here, would they go back on their word?"
Qin Yang laughed and said, "They might not know about the one in Portland, but do you think they don't know about the ones in the other cities?"
"The ones before were all resources controlled by Ralph and his group! Now they are offering them to me as a gift; this shows that my value in their eyes far exceeds these supplies!"
Qin Yi nodded in realization! That made sense; one oil field would be one thing, but it was impossible for an entire Tali Province to have no natural resources at all!
Although he had started to take full control of Tali Province, he still didn't have enough manpower! Qin Yang himself had no desire to manage these cities.
It was just that those iron mines, oil fields, and the like still needed people to extract them! This was the problem Qin Yang was currently facing.
[Congratulations to the host for reaching three million popularity points! Obtained an Achievement Pack!]
Qin Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Open the Achievement Pack!"
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000 Level 1 Genetic Warriors!]
Getting a thousand soldiers all at once made Qin Yang happy, but it still wasn't enough! Besides, these were all soldier-king level warriors; how could he just leave them in such cities? Wouldn't that be a waste of talent?
"Forget it! I'll take it one step at a time."
Qin Yang left directly with his men! At the same time, he appointed another City Lord. Of course, Qin Yang could monitor the entire Tali Province in real-time, so he wasn't worried about rebellion at all! If there was a rebellion, he would just suppress it.
After leaving, Qin Yang went directly to the latter part of Tali Province! There were no resources here at all! It occupied almost one-third of the territory of Tali Province.
At the same time, it was close to the Tali Strait, which wasn't important for Syria, a country in civil strife, so there were only two towns here.
These were the two that hadn't declared their stance earlier. Perhaps in their view, their region was so remote that Qin Yang wouldn't care about them even if he was tough.
But they were wrong! And they were terribly wrong; in Qin Yang's eyes, this place was even more important than those oil fields!
Qin Yang had just arrived not far from the two towns when he saw a soldier running over from the distance!
"Sir! My boss sent me here to say we surrender! We are willing to serve under the Leopard Mercenary Group!"
Qin Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "That won't do! I never give others a second chance! So, you have no chance."
"By the way, go back and tell everyone that these two towns will be flattened to the ground early tomorrow morning! Everyone must relocate! Go to Baibei Town! Those who don't want to leave can stay forever!"
The soldier left in a daze! He didn't understand what that meant at all? Did he accept the surrender or not? Why make them move away!
On the satellite screen, Qin Yang watched as the soldiers from the two towns mingled with the civilians and began to head toward Baibei Town.
Of course, there were also those who didn't take it seriously and didn't leave! As for being flattened to the ground? Just bragging, right!
Qin Yang said to Qin Yi, "Have you noted down all those people?"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss! It's all handled! Once they arrive, we can handle them however we want!"
Qin Yang nodded! He didn't care about the people in these two towns; altogether, there were only ten thousand or so people! And a total of over a thousand soldiers!
His future base would be built on this land! With an area of over two hundred square kilometers, it was enough!
Qin Yi left with over five hundred men! They returned to the fortress in Baibei Town to wait to deal with those people!
Early the next morning, Qin Yang set up over a hundred Mortars!
"Fire!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless shells rained down from the sky, bombarding the town. The few people who hadn't left saw this scene and screamed in terror! They started running outward!
But it was doomed to be futile! Countless shells rained down from the sky; after a baptism of artillery fire lasting over ten minutes, a town just disappeared from the map!
The other town didn't survive much longer either! It was soon destroyed in the artillery fire!
At the same time, a cordon was set up! It was, of course, set up with steel wire! Hanging on it were metal signs that read: "Leopard Mercenary Group Military Restricted Area, Trespassers Will Be Shot On Sight."
By the time all this was done, a full day had passed! At the same time, ten engineers had already arrived!
Then, Qin Yang watched with great heartache as his account balance rapidly decreased! Fortunately, he had obtained twenty million US dollars in cash in Portland! Otherwise, the several mines and oil fields really wouldn't have been able to start operations on time!
It wasn't until only one million US dollars were left that it finally stopped! The base was filled with dark black buildings everywhere!
The surrounding walls shimmered with a cold light under the sun; they were over eight meters high! At the same time, they were three meters wide!
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Qin Yang tapped it with his dagger! A low echo resounded!
Qin Yang then aimed a rocket launcher at the city wall and fired a shot!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the explosion kicked up a huge burst of fire! As the flames and smoke dissipated, the dark gold city wall was revealed, completely unscathed!
Qin Yang nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad! Quite good! This money was well spent!"
Almost all of his tens of millions of US dollars in savings had been used on this wall! Of course, it directly enclosed a range of nearly two hundred kilometers! There wasn't much other construction inside.
Qin Yang walked into the empty giant city; there was only one building inside, which was the place he would live in the future, and it was also a dark gold skyscraper!
"Qin Er! When the time comes, you bring people to station here! Anyone who approaches should be warned once and then shot dead immediately!"
"Yes! Guarantee to complete the mission!"
Qin Yang left with a few people! He headed to Baibei Town! It was time to move that base! With one thousand people and the satellite system, an alarm would sound as soon as anyone entered the range!
This huge city was still barely manageable.
