"They are not stupid; they understand everything. They know that Wu Ren will definitely resist to some extent, but the goal of the resistance is not to defeat the boss; it's just to take as many of them down as possible. I think that's the case; now that you've given them a way to quickly kill Wu Ren, it can end the war in the shortest possible time. Then, other people from Xifeng Town who are forced onto the battlefield have a chance to survive."

Ren Zhong was silent for a moment and nodded.

These dozens of people plan to die for others in Xifeng Town.

Then he suddenly stood up, picked up his gun, and walked out of the hiding cave, heading towards the direction of the Wilderness Suicide Squad.

Zheng Dafa and Ding Canghai asked in confusion from behind, "Boss, where are you going?"

Ren Zhong raised the gun in his hand, "I'm going to kill a few of Wu Ren's bodyguards."

"But if you do that, you'll also..."

Before Zheng Dafa could finish speaking, Ren Zhong had already left.

After a long while, Ding Canghai, who was adjusting the firearms, suddenly said out of nowhere, "Ren is indeed a good person."

Zheng Dafa grunted, "He's really different from Wang Jinsou."

As Ren Zhong was halfway there, intense gunfire erupted over there.

A total of more than sixty Wilderness Suicide Squad members donned full equipment obtained from other friendly forces in the town and launched a fierce assault on the Wu Family Manor, regardless of the cost.

...

Five minutes ago, in the underground chamber of the Wu Family Manor.

The manpower here is not abundant.

At this time, most of the experts under Xifeng Resources were entangled at the South City Gate with Ma Xiaoling, Bai Feng, and Shi Lin.

But Wu Ren was clear in his mind and remained unflustered.

His informants kept him updated on the advancing route of the hundred and ten thousand strong army.

He knew that Ren Zhong had not shown up.

In his view, the mere twenty thousand here were probably just Ren Zhong's probing and a show of force to scare him, aiming to break his will and make him surrender early.

Ren Zhong's soldiers were indeed formidable, even dominating when fighting away from home, making the outnumbered, all-armed people of Xifeng Town unable to lift their heads.

Wu Ren found it laughable and believed it was a strategic blunder by Ren Zhong.

I've already engaged you outside the city; I'm just waiting to sacrifice these extra twenty thousand Wilderness people before surrendering immediately, yet you go out of your way.

But this just works out perfectly; the intensity is just right, and it makes it even safer.

He also provided subpar weapons to those Wilderness people, akin to an ancient battle in "Wilderness Era," where one side is well-armed iron armor warriors, and the other is primitively equipped, holding sticks, wearing only briefs.

As for those elites, they also followed Wu Ren's orders, apart from striving to kill Ma Xiaoling. When dealing with others, they focused mainly on driving away and injuring.

His city defense cannons fired just a few shots before being quickly eliminated by elite warriors of the Starfire Army.

Even if two lucky shots were made, there was a skill to where they would land.

The blast couldn't harm the armor protection of the Starfire Army but simply harvested the lives of Xifeng Town people like reaping wheat.

On Ma Xiaoling's side, Wu Ren genuinely wanted to kill her but couldn't, which was insignificant.

What should be his, will be; what shouldn't be his, cannot be forced.

If it drags on, the Wilderness soldiers in Xifeng Town will be wiped out in two or three hours, without causing much effective harm to Ren Zhong's army.

In that case, not only would he have drained the blood of Xifeng Town people, he also removed a threat, avoiding forming a deep enmity with Ren Zhong, achieving three goals with one move.

"Boss, the Starfire Town army has slowed their offensive and seems to plan for a gradual advance."

At that time, the advisor asked.

Wu Ren smiled, "That's just fine; instruct all Wilderness people to launch a full assault, reclaim the positions near the South City Gate. Have the professional team pull back slightly to oversee the formation and keep their distance from Ren Zhong's experts. If they don't take the initiative to attack, we will focus on defense, keeping up this standoff."

"Okay."

"When the commoners are almost all dead, report to me immediately."

At this moment, the communication system sounded an alarm from the manor guards, reporting an attack on the Wu Family Manor.

Wu Ren was startled but quickly figured out who the attackers were and calmed down.

"Just some irrelevant commoners causing trouble. They think they can do something to me just because they got hold of some extra equipment—naive. Let the bodyguard team intercept, inform the Mayor, there's a Wilderness rebellion here. The Hunters will arrive in no more than five minutes."

There were nearly fifty Death Soldiers installed with bombs inside their bodies in Wu Family Manor.
