301: Three armies marched together

Fifteen days passed in a flash.

During this period, the warehouse on Knight Island was completed, and Pan Han successively transported a thousand tons of gold back.

He also informed the Committee Three Elders of this news, and they immediately sent people to verify it.

After learning it was pure gold, the Three Elders' impression of Pan Han greatly improved.

They dared not ask how so much gold was acquired, but they knew that anyone who could obtain it must be extraordinary.

Combined with Pan Han's previous impression on everyone, the Leader's reasons for choosing Pan Han as his successor became increasingly compelling.

Pan Han was very generous, telling the Three Elders to quickly send people to transport the gold away.

Sure enough, within a few days, this batch of gold lay in the Imperial Bank's vault.

The movie's filming was complete and entered the post-production stage, so Pan Han treated everyone to a wrap-up dinner.

Ellie returned to Ouyang Cong's side, while Yan Xiaoli closely monitored post-production matters.

To curry favor with Pan Han, Ouyang Cong proactively took charge of the movie's promotion, distribution, and release.

After all, the Knight Order controlled a major cinema chain; arranging a few extra screenings for the Leader's movie was a piece of cake.

With matters mostly arranged here, Pan Han traversed to the apocalypse, entering the final preparations for battle.

At this moment, inside the Dawn Base's conference hall, lights blazed brightly, and smoke billowed.

Pan Han held the combat plan in his hand, a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Everyone, the northern offensive plan needs to be changed."

Qin Zhong and others immediately sat up straight, listening to Pan Han's instructions.

"To the north of Dawn Base, there's only one city, and its current population is no more than 10,000 people. There's no need to dispatch an entire company, is there?" The northern army he referred to was led by Dili Abasi.

"Reporting, Commander. The northern route is overseen by Sister Xi Ba, and this is her first time participating in a base operation. Based on the principle of safety first, assigning a company is not excessive," Qin Zhong replied honestly.

He also knew Dili Abasi's relationship with Pan Han and wanted to ensure no accidents occurred.

"Old Qin! I understand your intentions, but this is war; personal feelings must be set aside for now," Pan Han said with a chuckle.

"Commander, what do you mean?"

"The western army faces over 90,000 people, and the southern army faces at least 200,000. One company is very important to both of these routes and should be assigned there."

As soon as Pan Han spoke, Qin Zhong, Cheng Xiao, Dili Abasi, and the others were all greatly astonished.

Could it be that the northern expedition would rely solely on Dili Abasi?

"Hahahaha. It seems you truly consider her family. Good!" Pan Han was greatly pleased to see everyone worried about Dili Abasi.

"Don't worry, everyone, Cheng Xiao and I will accompany her. That will suffice," Pan Han continued.

A small northern city, with a mere ten thousand people; the three of them in their mechs could easily handle it!

Upon hearing this, Dili Abasi instantly blushed, unexpected that Pan Han would make such arrangements; it was truly surprising.

It even carried a hint of being pampered.

Cheng Xiao had been cooped up in the base for a long time; since her mech had arrived, it would be a waste not to go out and have some fun!

Seeing Pan Han's arrangements, everyone had no objections, and Qin Zhong reallocated that company to the southern army.

Finally, the meeting decided that all three armies would depart at noon the next day.

Upon returning to the villa, Pan Han carefully inspected the two women's mechs.

Cheng Xiao's mech was entirely white, equipped with a laser cannon and a heavy machine gun on its back, and two rocket launcher nests embedded in its shoulders.

Dili Abasi's mech was slightly taller and entirely purple. It was equipped with a heavy machine gun and a grenade launcher on its back, with rockets also embedded in its shoulders.

"Very good, very good, these are truly excellent items!" Pan Han thought to himself, exchanging 400,000 cans for these two treasures was truly worth it.

The two women exchanged glances, stepped forward, and said in unison, "There are two more treasures here, Commander, would you like to inspect them?"

"Hehehe! Then I won't be polite." Pan Han embraced the two women, kissed each on the cheek, and then threw himself onto the bed.

...

At noon the next day, everyone ate and drank, held a flag ceremony, and set off!

The third and fourth brothers led the western army, while Qin Zhong, the sixth brother, led the team south.

The second sister, the fifth brother, Reich, and others remained at the base.

Pan Han, meanwhile, took his two girls, donned their mechs, and flew directly north.

In City C to the north, there was only one faction called "Happy Valley." Its base was located within a large canyon.

According to intelligence, Happy Valley only had a mere 400-odd people.

Pan Han and the two women flew rapidly for less than 10 minutes before arriving at the outskirts of Happy Valley.

Looking from afar, there were about a dozen houses, a plaza, dozens of vehicles, and a river next to the plaza within the canyon.

"It doesn't look like anything special." Pan Han activated his divine sense and scanned the area.

"Intelligence shows there are only 7 low-level evolutionaries and 1 mid-level here," Cheng Xiao said. The other 400-plus ordinary people were not a concern at all.

"Should we just charge in?" Dili Abasi asked.

"It seems there's no reason not to. It's just not fun." If the three mechs opened fire simultaneously, Happy Valley would be instantly annihilated in less than half a minute.

"We could go talk to them; if they're willing to surrender, it would save ammunition," Cheng Xiao suggested.

"Hmm, talking is fine too." Pan Han nodded. Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao stepped out.

Dili Abasi and Pan Han, meanwhile, ambushed on either side. If the other party wasn't cooperative, they would immediately open fire.

At this time, Happy Valley was having lunch. When Cheng Xiao's white mech appeared in the sky above the plaza, dozens of dark muzzles were simultaneously aimed at her.

"They're quite well-trained, quick to raise their guns. Too bad they don't have warning equipment; they only noticed me when I flew overhead," Cheng Xiao mused.

"Tell your boss to come out." Cheng Xiao's mech emitted a mechanical voice, loud enough to echo throughout the canyon.

Without needing to be called, Happy Valley's boss automatically walked out of a house.

As soon as this person appeared, Cheng Xiao recognized him.

This person, Cheng Xiao would never forget, even if he turned to ash!

It was none other than Li Bailong, the former boss of Z Tower, who had escaped earlier.

She didn't expect him to run here after his previous defeat.

Cheng Xiao was wearing a mech, so Li Bailong certainly wouldn't recognize her. However, he knew that people in mechs were not to be trifled with.

So he instantly activated his divine sense. It was fine not to open it, but once he did, he was startled!

Two more mechs were hidden nearby!

Li Bailong's mind raced. Three mechs arriving simultaneously certainly weren't here to have tea with him.

"Oh, it's actually a defeated foe! How interesting! Cheng Xiao, let's stop talking nonsense and just do it!" Pan Han laughed loudly, instantly becoming excited.

The next second, all three mechs opened fire simultaneously.

Machine guns, grenades, and rockets flew everywhere, fiercely assaulting Happy Valley.

Boom boom boom!

Ah ah ah!

Flames erupted in the canyon, screams rose everywhere, and hundreds of members were blasted into scattered corpses.

Li Bailong was exceptionally alert, running and dodging at maximum speed, heading straight for a permanent fortification.

A minute later, the mechs ceased fire, gradually approaching and descending, preparing to search for Li Bailong.

"Damn it, I didn't provoke such a formidable person! Do they need to be so ruthless?!" Li Bailong cursed, setting up the only 20mm autocannon inside the fortification.

Only this type of weapon had the potential to destroy a mech.

Bang bang bang!

A long string of shells roared out, and Pan Han and the others immediately dodged.

However, this also exposed Li Bailong's position, immediately drawing a barrage of artillery fire.

"Holy crap! Run! I'll be back!" Li Bailong dove into the tunnel and made a direct escape.
