Therefore, this war was purely a matter of who could move faster; the powerful clans were betting that the True Dragon wouldn't dare to actually fight.

You're gambling on the possibility of losing, but you definitely won't have an easy time!

The common people of Yan Country were merely bargaining chips for powerful clans.

The True Dragon cares, but they don't.

Powerful clans could not tolerate gradually drifting away from the center of power. They wanted to control the regions they governed, which could be weakened, but absolutely not completely disconnected.

Previously, some officials of the Great Yan had fallen into their trap, thus helping these powerful clans to seize local power.

But the officials of the new faction led by True Dragon were completely unyielding, like rocks that couldn't be budged.

Once power is lost, the loss of wealth is only a matter of time.

They may not completely disappear and become poor, but they cannot bear the feeling of having no control over their fate.

Both armies are assembling, and the Utopia assassins have already reached their designated positions.

"Six groups, a, b, c, f, d, e, and f, arranged according to the clock, each responsible for two directions. According to the list, after the operation is successful, quickly hang their heads on the city wall, while closely observing who succeeds. Whoever succeeds, behead them."

The girl named Ascalon held a list in her hand and methodically assigned tasks.

Ascalon, the overall commander of this operation in Utopia, is in charge of one hundred Abundance Warrior.

With the expansion of territory and population, the number of ordinary, Abundance Warrior within Utopia is no longer a small number.

This assassin squad is not a product of lowering the selection standards; the selection process becomes increasingly difficult every year, yet many still succeed thanks to their unwavering faith.

Even Ascalon's final results during the selection process weren't in the top tier, so at this point he was just a captain.

Ascalon continued, "The information has been sent to your heads. The families marked on the list have surrendered to the True Dragon. Each squad, send two more people with me to monitor these surrendered families."

Not all families were inclined to rebel; many were timid.

The True Dragon also fully demonstrated his benevolence by being willing to let them go, but of course, he had to hand over most of his wealth and all his social status.

The closer a family is to the location of the True Dragon, the faster they cower in fear. Therefore, the place Ascalon and his group arrived at was on the border, far from the center of the Great Yan.

Therefore, it would take some time for the two armies to make contact, and during the march of the armies, these powerful families could do as much sabotage as possible, thus achieving a lose-lose situation.

After the captain gave the order, the soldiers sprang into action.

The scimitars in their hands gleamed with a terrifying deep green light, flashing coldly in the moonlight, like emeralds, some even tinged with blood red.

Ascalon's sword shone even brighter with its crimson light, a symbol of his impending transformation into Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior.

Dozens of combat teams swiftly infiltrated the night, showcasing the aesthetics of slaughter and sacrifice with their dual blades.

In just one night, nineteen of the two family leaders who participated in the rebellion had been killed, and the remaining one was also severely injured.

The reason for the failure was that the fighting power of this family was too strong, and they were also the main fighting force of the Qing-Yuan alliance.

This guy has set up his family in the heart of the military camp, so he can't be killed quickly.

The warriors of Utopia finally found an opportunity to sneak in, only to be discovered by a senior celestial master.

As it turns out, the already dead Edward was truly incompetent.

However, the two Abundance Warrior still managed to unleash their full power, and despite being surrounded by numerous sorcerers and soldiers, they managed to carve through the entire camp.

Although they didn't kill the leader, they severely injured him, and he probably won't live for more than a few days.

After one night, the main fighting force of the Qing-jun-evil alliance was severely damaged, with over a thousand elite soldiers killed by the two Abundance.

The family leader also died the following morning from blood loss due to infection with the virus on the knife.

This was far from the limit for the Abundance Warrior. After emerging, the two Storm Warriors were virtually unharmed, except for some damage to their clothes.

Ascalon didn't criticize his players too harshly; the opponent's defensive strength was indeed beyond expectations, and he also bore responsibility for his misjudgment.

If there are three of them, they should be able to complete the task on the spot.

Even ants can kill an elephant. These warriors are not Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior, but since the objective has been achieved, let's reward them as usual.

This battle dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Qing-corruption coalition.

However, the successor of the deceased man smoothly ascended to the throne the following evening.

So, at dawn on the third day, countless more heads were hung on the city gate, and this time, every squad completed its mission.

If I can kill you once, I can definitely kill you a second time.

It was only at this point that the allied forces truly began to collapse, because no one knew whose head the next executioner's blade would be at.

Faced with such an invisible enemy, some nobles were already terrified, and many of those who had their heads chopped off were even related to the current True Dragon by blood.

As for True Dragon's opinion, he naturally praised it highly after receiving the battle report!

Ascalon was still observing the situation on the front lines, using every means to weaken the morale and fighting capacity of the allied forces.

Whether it was letting the vehicles go or burning down the granary, under the girl's guidance, everyone's role was brought to its fullest potential.

When the True Dragon's army arrived at the battle site, a large number of people surrendered with their hands raised, but many more chose to flee.

The army that purged the emperor's inner circle of corrupt officials almost immediately dispersed, encountering virtually no strong resistance.

Just a few days after the war, True Dragon received reports of an increase in the number of bandits across the country.

"I've given you a chance... Since you're determined to fight me to the end, then I don't need to consider any sentimentality anymore. Send the word to form another 50,000-strong anti-bandit army and send it to the areas plagued by bandits."

"If you encounter bandits who endanger the common people, there is no need to report them; kill them without mercy. Everyone must be equipped with a body camera to record the entire incident, even the bloody scenes!"

"If the officer was not equipped with a body camera, and the incident resulted in injury or death during the course of duty, and there is no other corroborating evidence, the person involved should be directly taken to the Grand Court for trial and punished with their life!"

"For every head on his waist after the mission is completed, the soldier will receive an extra ten taels of silver!"

The True Dragon thought a lot about this, in order to prevent the occurrence of killing innocent people and claiming credit for them.

He spared no expense in building a modern information force, and he didn't neglect military pay and incentives.

Chapter 675 Jie: Let Nian be the tour guide.

After the True Dragon finished dealing with his own affairs, the Abundance Soldier all returned to the token.

Before long, only Ascalon remained as captain to handle the handover.

"Ms. Ascalon, thank you so much for your help. If possible, I would like to host a celebration banquet for you," the True Dragon sincerely invited.

However, Ascalon shook his head, "Currently, the outside world does not know where this army comes from. Most people believe that it is a secret army secretly trained by you, True Dragon. So, to avoid any complications, let's leave it at that."

"For us, this is just a mission, a regular attendance."

After speaking, Ascalon took a piece of paper from the pocket of his belt:

"These are humanitarian aid supplies, along with some military equipment and medicines, that Utopia will provide to Yan Country in the coming months."

True Dragon glanced at the list and found that he didn't recognize most of the medicines and weapons on it.

However, you can get a general idea from the names: quick repair spray and satellite positioning device.

I don't know how to use it, but it looks pretty cool.

Ascalon: "After learning that you were going to suppress bandits, the lord specially allocated a batch of medicines. Banditry has existed in Yan Country Kingdom since the founding of the country. Even around the capital, it is hard to guarantee that accidents will not happen. These weapons and medicines can greatly improve the survival rate of soldiers."

True Dragon also sighed, "The banditry within the Yan Country... has been a problem since the time of the founding emperor. The bandits used their martial arts to break the law, and it wasn't until the rise of Mobile City that their numbers began to decrease."

The Great Yan has its own unique national conditions, and the quality of its people is far superior to that of neighboring Ursus.

Martial arts are indeed useful; once you learn them, you might rise to the top in one step and thus be able to fight against the government.

Aside from Catastrophe disasters, this is also why the bandits are so talkative. Sometimes, when several teams of soldiers are sent out, a particularly powerful person suddenly appears on the other side, and in the end, they can only return empty-handed.

Ascalon nodded:

"That's why my lord provided a batch of weapons. After the soldiers' biometric information is entered, they will be directly bound to the weapons. Even if they are lost, they will not cause any harm. These weapons have a low barrier to entry and can quickly arm the grassroots armed personnel."

"At the same time, there are a series of economic and diplomatic plans that are based on the premise that both sides can benefit, rather than unilateral aid."

"My lord also said that to truly eliminate bandits, we must improve people's living conditions. Most people just want to survive, except for a few born evil."

"Utopia's first batch of aid will arrive in a month, including weapons, medicine, and food. At the same time, Utopia's business associations within Yan Country will cooperate with the actions of the Great Yan government as much as possible. The latter's cooperation is commercial in nature and requires payment, but the price is fair."

True Dragon nodded. "That's right. Cooperation and mutual benefit are the best way to build trust between the two sides. To express my gratitude for Utopia's help, I will also reduce or waive Utopia's taxes in Yan Country in the coming period. Please convey this message to me, Madam."

After Ascalon continued to exchange views with the True Dragon on behalf of Utopia and gathered the information, he left.

Watching the girl's departing figure, True Dragon couldn't help but sigh that Utopia truly had a wealth of talented people.

Even Ascalon, who was tasked with the assassination mission, possessed such extensive economic knowledge.

This is also one of the products of involution.

After all, physical improvement is limited; it's better to learn more knowledge and obtain more certifications to effectively enhance one's competitiveness in the military.

"Lady Ascalon's race is Sarkaz. More than 200 years have passed, and this once-ruinous nation, existing only in history books, has now become so powerful, in no way inferior to the Yan Country."

After sighing for a while, the True Dragon returned to his palace. Tonight would be another quiet night of reviewing official documents.

This is what the emperor on Terra looks like.

The subjects only need to rebel, but the emperor has many other things to consider.

Before long, thanks to its incredibly advanced air transport capabilities, Utopia's supplies were quickly delivered to Yan Country Kingdom.

This move greatly enhanced Utopia's image in the hearts of the Yan Country, who all praised Master Huang as a good man.

Huang Cao also took this opportunity to drive Rhodes Island to Yan Country, but instead of meeting the True Dragon directly, he went to the border of Lungmen.

... a few days later.

Lungmen in Yan Country.

"Wei Lao Er's management skills in Lungmen are only average. After losing the opportunity for development through Lungmen Dollars, they can only be described as truly mediocre."

Huang Cao stood on the high lookout tower of the Rhodes Island, looking at the not-so-grand Mobile City in the distance.

Wei Yanwu, the governor of Lungmen and the former Yan Country, benefited from his status that very few people dared to do business with him.

True Dragon had previously wanted to offer assistance, but he considered that if they directly strengthened their ties, it might give some unscrupulous people an opportunity to cause trouble, which would put his brother in danger again.

So after careful consideration, he had no choice but to give up.

The current international market is dominated by utopia, and the currency used is also Ideal Coin issued by utopia.

While doing business in Yan Country, Lungmen also tried its best to expand overseas, but unfortunately, the gains were not significant.

Master Huang had already signed a long-term strategic cooperation plan with the previous generation of True Dragon, which began as early as the Great Wilderness City era, so there was no need for Lungmen as a transit point.

Because of his good relationship with the two generations of True Dragon, Huang Cao had no intention of taking any military action against Yan Country, except for owning a portion of the land in Great Wilderness City as a warehouse.

All they did was make money.

Therefore, Huang Cao's businesses in Lungmen were basically all about making money, and he didn't care about political affairs at all, as long as Wei Lao Er didn't cause trouble.

Edward, the last one who came to cause trouble, has grass growing several meters high on his grave, and the horns on his head are still hanging at the bank's entrance.

"Speaking of which, by now, Old Chen should have returned from his studies in Victoria by now. There's no longer a Royal College, only Utopia Victoria College."

Although foreigners cannot enter the main area of Utopia, they can in some parts of Victoria, which attracts a large number of people to come and learn. This is also a good opportunity for Master Huang to spread his ideas.

After some investigation, it was discovered that the little dragon had indeed returned to Lungmen and become a police officer, working alongside Hoshiguma to maintain order in Lungmen.

Having studied at Utopia for a while, Pink Dragon is now a little more composed than before, but only a little.

Rhodes Island operators all have a story to tell, so Huang Cao is nothing new to her.

"Let's go see the Shi Huaiya Family. After all, they were among the first people to fight alongside me, even though they ran away later."

After submitting the disembarkation application according to the procedure, Huang Cao quickly arrived at the center of Lungmen City, much to the dismay of the Miss Doctor.

But as soon as he got out of bed, he received a message from his wife on his phone.

Jie: My younger sister is also in Lungmen. She's quite familiar with the city. If we can't find any fun places to visit, let her be our tour guide.

You're such a nice person, huh? I bet you eat super spicy hot pot every day of the year.

Chapter 676 After playing so many high-level games, it's nice to occasionally use a classic strategy.

Huang Cao arrived at a shopping mall, which seemed to be not much different from what it had been like more than 20 years ago.

"Back then, Hedley's men almost beat Edward half to death. Now that Talulah and Old Chen have grown up, that dragon can die without regrets."

It's been many years since I last visited Lungmen. The date I made with the True Dragon is still a while away, so it wouldn't be bad to go see some familiar faces from the story.
