118: Destroying the Four Great Families

After three waves of saturation strikes with various weapons, less than twenty percent of the Four Great Families' remaining soldiers were left. Seeing this through a reconnaissance drone, Xin Yang decisively ordered a general offensive.

Consequently, the Death Warrior units hidden on both sides of the mountain forest emerged from their cover and began advancing rapidly toward the simple road.

The outcome of this battle was already a foregone conclusion. Xin Yang stopped monitoring the battlefield footage and instead took out a map to study the next combat objective.

The next objective was naturally the home base of the Four Great Families.

Their headquarters were all located near Old Street City, and all were manor-style residences, with their private armies stationed around the perimeters.

Through the surveillance of the Death Warrior scouts, Xin Yang had determined the number of private soldiers each family had near their home base; it was roughly 1,500 men each, while the rest were stationed at their various business properties.

Currently, each family had deployed about two hundred men, leaving approximately one thousand near their headquarters.

Although their numbers were similar to the Death Warrior units prepared for the raid, these people had purchased a significant amount of heavy firepower to protect their lives at the Four Great Families' headquarters.

After some consideration, Xin Yang came up with a plan, but he needed to discuss it with Qin Gang.

So, Xin Yang quickly summoned Qin Gang.

"You mean you want to borrow my storage ring?" Qin Gang asked, stroking his chin.

"Exactly. It's not that I'm afraid we can't win a frontal assault, but such a fight would cause casualties among our brothers. The boss entrusted these men to me, and I have a duty and responsibility to minimize their sacrifices."

"Brother Qin Gang, just let me use it. I promise to return it as soon as I'm done," Xin Yang said with a flattering smile.

Looking at Xin Yang's shameless expression, Qin Gang pointed at him and said, "Damn, you're taking all the credit for being the good guy. Fine, I'll go personally this time to help out. Just give me what you need to use."

"Hehe, thanks, Brother Qin Gang. I knew you were a reasonable man," Xin Yang said, beaming with joy upon hearing Qin Gang's agreement.

Qin Gang looked at him and could only shake his head helplessly.

Around six in the evening, the battlefield at the simple road was basically cleared. Facing a pack of hungry wolves, the outcome for the demoralized remnants who had been terrified by the explosions was predictable. Furthermore, because the Death Warriors' encirclement was so tight, not a single soldier from the Four Great Families escaped; they were all buried at this ordinary simple road.

Under the cover of night and with the help of Death Warrior scouts, Qin Gang set off for the Four Great Families' headquarters with the items provided by Xin Yang. About fifteen minutes later, Xin Yang followed with the reorganized troops. Speed was of the essence; tonight, he would completely erase the Four Great Families from history!

Old Street, inside the Bai Family Manor.

At this time, the heads of the Four Great Families had gathered once again, waiting for good news from the bandit-suppression forces.

They were currently playing cards, and everyone's expression was very relaxed. Their thoughts were the same as the commander's before: with overwhelming superior numbers to suppress a small-scale armed force, there was no way they could lose.

After a few rounds of cards, the Head of the Yang Family laughed and said, "Old Bai, our people should have reached Kangba Town by now. Why don't you call and ask how the situation is?"

Bai Chen nodded and said, "Alright. That Bai Ye is like a madman once a battle starts. He didn't even think to report back after reaching the destination."

Bai Chen then took out a satellite phone and dialed a number.

However, it rang for a long time without an answer. Bai Chen frowned and said, "Bai Ye didn't pick up. But I expect the noise of gunfire and artillery is too loud there, or maybe Bai Ye has gone to the front lines. Let's wait a bit longer!"

The heads of the other families nodded and said nothing more.

But just as they were about to shuffle the cards, a massive explosion suddenly thundered, followed by a violent shaking of the earth, sending everyone scurrying for cover in fear.

While hiding, Bai Chen shouted, "What happened? Is it an earthquake?"

Soon, the villa stopped shaking, and a bloodstained soldier was led in by the manor's bodyguards.

As soon as the soldier entered, he collapsed to the floor and wailed, "Patriarch, it's over, it's all over! There was an explosion at the barracks just now. Now, the entire barracks has been destroyed, and most of the brothers are buried inside..."

"What did you say??!!" Bai Chen thought he was hallucinating when he heard the soldier's cry.

"Patriarch, the barracks are gone!" the soldier repeated.

Upon confirmation, Bai Chen felt the world spinning. He swayed as if about to fall, but the people around him quickly supported him.

After nearly half a minute, Bai Chen recovered slightly and said tremulously, "Take... take me to the barracks! I don't believe this is true!"

The others didn't dare to delay and hurriedly helped Bai Chen outside.

As for the heads of the other three families, they looked at each other, all seeing a flash of excitement in the others' eyes.

But these three patriarchs were happy too soon. Before they could even walk out of the villa's main door, their satellite phones all rang at once.

After answering the calls, they all received the same disastrous news. Just like the Bai Family, the barracks of these three families had also been destroyed at the same time, with fewer than a hundred survivors!

At this moment, they were no longer in the mood to enjoy the Bai Family's misfortune and rushed back to their own homes.

There was no such coincidence in the world; the military power of the Four Great Families being struck by lightning at the same time was naturally Qin Gang's handiwork.

The method Xin Yang had devised was to use the mobility and stealth of the space ring to sabotage the Four Great Families' military forces. To that end, Xin Yang had prepared several hundred remote-controlled timed bombs for Qin Gang.

Using his agile movements and the cover of night, Qin Gang visited the barracks that the Four Great Families relied on and planted the remote-controlled timed bombs on high-value military assets, such as fuel depots, armored vehicle tracks, and helicopter fuel tanks.

These bombs were made of high-energy explosives and were incredibly powerful. Combined with the secondary explosions of other materials, it was only natural that the barracks were destroyed.

After eliminating the enemies' trump cards, Xin Yang split his forces into four paths and began the final mopping-up operation against the Four Great Families.

The next morning, on the central plaza of the Bai Family Manor.

Bodies were laid out across the plaza's tiles. Nearby, many terrified survivors of the Bai Family stood. Xin Yang hadn't directly killed the core members of these families, naturally for the sake of the assets they controlled.

As titan forces that had dominated the Old Street area for many years, these families had accumulated unimaginable wealth, which Xin Yang was naturally unwilling to let go of.
