When Qin Yang arrived in Dora City, Bodo and the other Death Warriors had already prepared everything.

As the accountant Death Warrior had stated, a total of over 5,700 prisoners of war were captured in this battle. By now, the reorganization of the entire force had been completed, with Death Warriors serving as officers and the Black Brothers as soldiers, establishing the preliminary framework of Qin Yang's own armed forces.

As for why the reorganization went so smoothly, it was naturally a carrot-and-stick approach. On one hand, there was the temptation of money; on the other, there was the deterrent of force—if they didn't listen, they were beaten, and after enough beatings, they naturally became obedient. Of course, Qin Yang didn't expect any loyalty from these Black Brothers; they just needed to be usable for the current stage. In the future, his private armed forces would gradually become composed entirely of Death Warriors so that Qin Yang could truly feel at ease.

Upon entering Dora City, Qin Yang moved into the City Lord's Mansion, just as he had in Waxi City.

Bodo led several Death Warriors to begin reporting the results of this raid to Qin Yang.

After listening, Qin Yang replied, "I'm clear on the general situation now. In other words, what we lack most right now is weapons and equipment, right?"

"That's correct, Boss. Although the weapons captured this time are not few, the types and models are far too disorganized. Many are antiques from the last century, and the ammunition supply will put great pressure on logistics.

Furthermore, the captured weapons are too outdated. In terms of modern warfare, if the Government Army receives help from a major power and deploys just a few sorties of fighter jets, we wouldn't be able to stop them," Bodo said truthfully.

Hearing this, Qin Yang nodded. He understood their current predicament. They were able to occupy this advantageous position firstly because of the raid, and secondly because of the powerful individual combat capabilities of the Death Warriors. But as the old saying goes, since they had joined this game of hegemony, they had to be prepared for a head-on confrontation. Once the Government Army and the rebels reacted and the Da Jun pressed in, it wouldn't be a problem that could be solved by small skirmishes like this anymore.

Therefore, the top priority now was to increase and replace current equipment with new weapons. They needed to possess things like anti-aircraft defenses and artillery to thoroughly establish a foothold here.

Qin Yang then asked, "How much money was obtained in Dora City?"

"Boss, because of the war, An Country's economic system has collapsed, and the an coins has depreciated significantly. Before we arrived, this place had already reached the point of bartering. However, although the an coins has depreciated, we still obtained over thirty tons of gold and a batch of US dollars confiscated from the rebel high command. The amount of US dollar cash is around 300 million, and the rest are their overseas assets, though most of those are fixed assets!" Bodo replied.

"Tsk tsk, thirty-plus tons of gold, that's quite a lot!" Hearing that he had obtained over thirty tons of gold, even Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. People always said Africa was rich in minerals, and this time he had truly seen it for himself.

Qin Yang then mentally calculated the value of over thirty tons of gold. Since it was only roughly purified, the purity was average, but the price could still be calculated at seven hundred per gram. One ton is 1,000kg, which converts to 1,000,000 grams. The specific figure was thirty-seven tons, which meant 37,000,000 grams. Multiplying that by seven hundred resulted in nearly 26 billion RMB!

Phew!

After finishing the calculation, Qin Yang's spirits were jolted. Adding in that US dollar cash, it was over 30 billion RMB. He couldn't help but complain in his heart again: robbing people of their money is so damn fast!

Once the money was calculated, it further solidified Qin Yang's determination to occupy this area.

Regarding the confiscated money, Qin Yang thought for a moment and said to Bodo, "I will handle the weapons side of things. For now, first purge the unstable elements within the city—don't be soft-hearted. Also, go ahead and 'invite' all the major mine owners in this area over for me. Take care of them for now; I'll keep them for later use."

"Yes, Boss," Bodo said with a bow.

As Qin Yang's orders were handed down, Dora City was placed under strict lockdown. However, because of the deterrent effect of the ruthless pyramid of skulls Bodo had created earlier, no problems arose in Dora City.

Next, the mine owners from various countries who hadn't had time to flee Dora City were all invited into the City Lord's Mansion by the Death Warriors.

It was actually quite funny; including the previous batch of wealthy mine owners Qin Yang had looked after, those from the Middle East were the most numerous.

In a hotel, many wealthy mine owners had been invited. Every one of their faces carried a thick sense of worry and despair.

"I told you to leave early, leave early, but you just wouldn't listen. Now look, we're like meat on a chopping board; we can't even leave. Our phones have been confiscated, and we can't even contact the embassy," the woman in one of the couples complained to her husband while weeping like a pear blossom in the rain.

"You make it sound so easy. Leave? How? All our industries are here. If we leave, we'll have nothing..." the man replied with a face full of helplessness.

"Is money more important or is your life? Didn't you see those heads on the street? My legs are still soft right now!" the woman replied.

However, after arriving at the hotel, these wealthy mine owners found that they didn't encounter the torture they had imagined. Instead, they were treated with courtesy, which left the group of wealthy mine owners unable to figure out the intentions of this mysterious armed force.

By now, everyone in Dora City knew that it was no longer the rebels controlling the city, nor was it the Government Army. Therefore, the common people had secretly given this armed force of Qin Yang's a name: Satans Armed Forces. This was also due to the extremely terrifying methods used by this force.

Communication equipment in Dora City had also been temporarily cut off by Qin Yang, so the specific situation inside could not be transmitted out. Qin Yang's own communication was conducted via mental connection or satellite phone.

Regarding the issue of arms, Qin Yang contacted several Death Warrior branches that were flourishing abroad. These branches were already active on the dark web, so the issue of arms was naturally easy to solve.

Among them, the arms dealer was provided by the branch chief of the European Death Warriors. The arms dealer was a Russian. Although Russian weapons were somewhat crudely made, their quality was quite good. As for the Great Eastern Country, their arms dealers were all state-owned; they would naturally not have contact with an unidentified armed group like Qin Yang's unless Qin Yang reached the top in An Country!

The Russian arms dealer would take a few more days to arrive, so Qin Yang first met with those wealthy mine owners at the hotel.

Of course, Qin Yang only watched from behind the scenes; the one at the forefront was Bodo.

That evening, in a hotel banquet hall.

Many wealthy mine owners were invited here and were assigned seats by the armed Black Brothers.

Once everyone was seated, Bodo walked onto the podium wearing a military uniform. Qin Yang, meanwhile, sat in a corner of the banquet hall, silently drinking a beverage and observing the wealthy mine owners.

"Everyone, hello. You have all been frightened these past few days. For that, I would first like to apologize to everyone. Let me introduce myself; my name is Bodo, and I am the supreme leader of the armed forces currently in the city. I heard that you have privately given us a name, calling us Satans Armed Forces. I think this name is quite good; we can try using it from now on," Bodo said with a very gentle smile, not looking at all like a butcher who killed without blinking on the battlefield.
