Chapter 819 - 313: Immortal Mindset
Another day passed, and the observation team at Huo Donghua’s villa lost one member.
The one missing was none other than Ren Zhong, the backbone.
Today, all day long, he neither continued to study programming nor pondered War Artist’s knowledge, but stayed in his villa, pretending to read while maintaining intense communication with Sun Ai.
Just as he predicted, the situation of corporate warfare underwent tremendous changes today.
In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong personally led the attack on Zhaoshan Town and encountered interference from Mengdu Group.
He personally killed three Level Six Armored Soldier assassins sent by Mengdu Group.
In this timeline, because he was arrested and imprisoned, and had stripped assets to Ju Qingmeng, it seemed he had nothing to do with corporate warfare.
Initially, Mengdu Group had no interest in deeply involving itself in corporate warfare, choosing instead to take advantage of the chaos and hunt down remaining wild nomads in Yangsheng City.
Now, after four days of war, Mengdu Group has basically completed the hunting of nomadic tribes of significant size.
The battle in Yangsheng City is gradually becoming clearer.
Despite the early alliance of Chongyi Three Towns, and even with full support from Tianyuan Military Industry, they failed to gain an upper hand in the war, unable to reach the walls of Starfire Town even when moving out in full force, resulting in a defeat and subsequent decline.
On the side of Starfire Town, they successfully took Wangdong Town, steadily advanced, and gradually infiltrated, exerting tremendous pressure back on Zhaoshan Town and Nangao Town.
Aside from these conventional military maneuvers, Ju Qingmeng started funding out of her own pocket, utilizing the abundant cash flow left by Ren Zhong, making Chromium Carbon Town a pivot, gradually integrating external mercenaries, and continually strengthening Starfire Army’s elite forces.
As Starfire Town grew increasingly unstoppable, achieving the final victory became only a matter of time.
At this point, Mengdu Group, having freed up capacity from hunting, deciphered the truth hidden behind the apparent situation.
Evidently, Ren Zhong and Ren’s Group had not severed relations.
He had merely completed a superficial asset transfer, but Starfire Town remained under his command.
Otherwise, Starfire Army could not exhibit such strong cohesion from top to bottom.
Consequently, Mengdu Group initiated the next step, resolutely deploying experimental-level Armored Soldiers, intervening intensely in corporate warfare.
Including the three Level Six Armored Soldiers previously killed by Ren Zhong, nearly thirty other Level Six Armored Soldiers were deployed into Yangsheng City as mercenaries.
In just three hours, numerous small scattered outposts established by Starfire Army in Nangao Town were eradicated.
Zheng Tian decisively adjusted strategies, commanding the 43,000 Starfire Soldiers scattered in Nangao Town to regroup into a structured legion, forming semi-permanent military bases, leveraging concentrated firepower to avoid being picked off one by one.
The military bases were located at the border between Nangao Town and Xifeng Town.
Subsequently, the Armored Soldiers began advancing towards Zhaoshan Town, attempting to hunt down the dispersed Starfire Army forces.
Fortunately, Ren Zhong captured their movements through the surveillance system and prompted Ju Qingmeng to issue orders directly, enabling the Starfire Army in Zhaoshan Town to regroup early and retreat to Wangdong Town, avoiding a disaster.
In just one day, this elite team of Armored Soldiers, hired cheaply by the fragile Eight Towns Alliance to join the war, completely changed the dynamics of corporate warfare.
Afterward, the elite team tentatively attempted to attack Wangdong Town but was repelled by the brand new city defense weapon system meticulously built by Ju Qingmeng, retreating to Nangao Town, adopting a stance waiting for another opportunity.
Though Starfire Army began contracting its formations, resource recovery companies from other towns dared not rashly send Scavengers to plunder resources within Starfire Town and Wangdong Town’s territories.
The situation reached a complete deadlock.
In the evening, the situation suddenly changed again as a coalition of four towns from West Lake County assembled a ten-thousand-strong elite army, under the guise of aiding Chongyi Three Towns in besieging Starfire Army, entered Xifeng Town, showing a posture of directly targeting Starfire Army’s base.
Yet upon entering Xifeng Town the next morning, the army immediately dissolved into multiple units dispersing towards various Ruined Beast resource points in Xifeng Town, reaping significant profits, and then merely fired a few warning shots outside Starfire Army’s base from afar, using the uncoordinated collaboration of Chongyi Three Towns as an excuse, retreated to West Lake County with abundant crystal chip loot.
