89: What?

Five days passed in a flash.

By this time, Qin Yang had accumulated nearly four hundred Death Warriors, and Waxi City was completely under his control.

The next phase of the plan could now be initiated.

The Death Warriors' indifference toward the civilians allowed the remaining residents of Waxi City to finally dare to step out of their homes, bringing some life back to the war-torn city.

Just as Qin Yang was about to take action, the phone left behind by Naibihai before his death rang.

Qin Yang summoned Ma Chao and had him answer it.

He pressed the speakerphone button while Feng Hao translated from the side.

Ma Chao claimed to be one of Naibihai's subordinates who could relay orders, so the other party didn't suspect anything.

The content of the call was for Naibihai to expand the Rebel Army. The Government Army had received aid from Western countries, and the main rebel force had suffered heavy casualties and needed reinforcements from all over. Naibihai was ordered to provide five hundred soldiers and march toward Dora City.

Dora City was the largest city in the vicinity and was currently under rebel control. However, the Government Army had not given up on it, and both sides were engaged in a fierce battle outside the city.

"It seems the strength of these rebels is only so-so. They caught the Government Army off guard but are still being pushed back. Tsk tsk," Qin Yang remarked after hanging up the phone.

"So, Boss, are we going? Or should we stick to the original plan?" Ma Chao asked.

"We're going. Dora City has nearly eight hundred thousand people. A small place like Waxi City with less than twenty thousand people yielded nearly a hundred million in wealth. We have to take this windfall that's been dropped at our doorstep. We'll head to Dora City. This rebel mobilization is our chance to blend in. Our numbers aren't enough for large-scale open warfare; covert killing is the way to go.

Pick a leader from those Black Brothers Death Warriors and have him take three hundred men there," Qin Yang replied after a moment's thought.

"Understood, Boss."

"Tell them I don't care about the process, only the results. Whether it's the Rebel Army or the Government Army, anyone who stands in our way is an enemy! Of course, if they want to surrender, we can accept them. You can never have too much cannon fodder," Qin Yang added.

"Understood, Boss. I'll arrange it right away."

...The Black Death Warrior leading the team to Dora City was named Bodo, a Second-level Death Soldier whose skill, like Wang Chao's, was Special Warfare.

Bodo and his group of Black Death Warriors changed into clothes similar to those of the deceased rebels and left Waxi City early the next morning to head toward Dora City.

By evening, Bodo and his men encountered the Rebel Army who had come to meet them. Since Naibihai was originally a minor leader, Bodo and the other Death Warriors, arriving in Naibihai's name, didn't receive any special treatment. They were casually taken to a temporary military camp to rest and were told to be ready to fight on the front lines at any time.

Going to the front lines was out of the question, at least for now. After enjoying a free rebel dinner, Bodo and the Death Warriors launched their operation that night.

Coincidentally, to facilitate the mobilization, the Rebel Army had stationed most of their soldiers in this area.

For Death Warriors, taking out these rebels in a military camp during a sneak attack was far too simple. They didn't even need firearms. With the enemy caught off guard, a few Death Warriors could tear through a camp, let alone three hundred acting simultaneously.

The result was, naturally, a total slaughter.

Over five thousand rebels had gathered here over the past few days, and in a single night, they were all put to eternal rest. There were those who discovered them, but their resistance was futile.

After finishing here, Bodo led all the blood-soaked Death Warriors—looking like hungry ghosts unleashed from a cage—toward the Rebel Army headquarters in Dora City.

They mowed down anyone in their path, be they man or god; rebels everywhere were ruthlessly harvested like straw!

The supreme commander of the Rebel Army in Dora City was a rebel deputy commander. This deputy commander had his head taken before he even realized anyone was there.

When the sun rose the next day, the heads of the deputy commander and many of his subordinates had been severed and piled into a massive pyramid of skulls in the very center of the city! Small pyramid of skulls were also everywhere in the streets.

Making people obedient is simple: make them feel fear.

After the pyramid of skulls were discovered, the already trembling citizens of Dora City were so terrified they didn't dare leave their homes. This was exactly the effect Bodo wanted. There were still hundreds of thousands of people in Dora City; if they knew the Rebel Army was gone and tried to flee, three hundred Death Warriors wouldn't be able to control the situation or prevent news from leaking. But the current situation was just right.

Thus, those on the front lines naturally didn't know yet that Dora City had changed hands. Bodo left some Death Warriors to control the situation in Dora City and then took the rest, along with some rebels who were lucky enough to surrender quickly and survive, straight toward the front lines.

Approaching the front lines, the booming of artillery and the crackle of gunfire became the dominant theme.

Through observation, Bodo saw that both sides were currently engaged in trench warfare. The Government Army was the attacker, doing its best to assault the rebel positions.

Bodo immediately formulated a battle plan. As the saying goes, to capture the bandits, first capture their leader. Once the head is gone, the subordinates naturally become a disorganized mess.

Thus, Bodo divided the Death Warriors into several groups, each equipped with a few rebel cannon fodder. Utilizing the ultra-precise shooting advantage of the Second-level Death Soldiers, they decisively entered the battlefield to carry out precision snipes on the leaders of both opposing sides!

The Jackal Mercenary Group was a mercenary team invited by the An Country government to participate in the suppression of the An Country Rebel Army.

The leader was named Jackal, a man with many years of mercenary experience. He was a breacher. The entire team consisted of seven people, all elites retired from various national special forces. Their sniper, Mike, in particular, was no exaggeration to say he never missed a shot, having completed missions several times solely through his own efforts.

After the Jackal Mercenary Group joined, they were assigned to the Dora City battlefield. The group had already been fighting on the front lines for two days.

At a hidden spot, Mike peered through his sniper scope, chewing on chocolate while speaking into his radio: "Captain, how many kills did we rack up yesterday? I sniped at least fifty. OMG, it's really hard to imagine that such weak rebels could make regular troops run like rats! Haha!"

The radio quickly crackled back: "Shut up, Mike, you chatterbox. Stay alert. I know you're capable, but once this mission is over, your pay will be as generous as your record. Now shut up!"

"Alright, Captain. A thousand dollars per head—I really hope this war lasts a while. Wait, Captain, rebel reinforcements are coming up right in front of you to the left. Hehe, I'll give them a surprise first!" Mike replied.

*Bang!*

As soon as Mike finished speaking, his index finger pulled the trigger.

An 8.6mm bullet instantly shot toward the target like a bolt of lightning.

But in the next second, Mike saw the figure in his scope actually tilt slightly at the critical moment, dodging his lethal shot. A shot that was meant for the heart ended up only hitting the arm, and surprisingly, the bullet didn't even tear through it!

"What???"
