Because of the guards' fierce attack, the first settlement was now filled with cries of agony; the scene was extremely horrific.
As the leaders of the first settlement, they finally understood why the first attack ended in just one hour.
This guard was nothing like the weak and feeble force they had imagined; it wasn't a matter of luck or tactical advantage.
This was pure head-on confrontation, but they were invincible.
They appeared to number only six hundred or so, but in reality, they were like sixty thousand men, their killing intent overwhelming, leaving the first settlement utterly powerless to retaliate.
Fortunately, at this time they received a letter of mediation from the four southern city-states.
Several high-ranking officers were in a panic at the rear, ready to retreat at any moment, but the battlefield was already firmly locked in a stalemate.
If they were to order a retreat at this point, they would suffer a crushing defeat! Therefore, they could only hope for mediation from the four southern city-states!
Guardian Group, Headquarters Compound
Wei Lun has returned; battle reports are constantly coming in through the dimensional communication headset.
By this time, the guards had taken control of the entire battlefield. Although there were many wounded, the number of wounded decreased as time went on.
Because the enemy's tanks were mostly destroyed, and their heavy weapons, including the operators of individual rocket launchers, were also killed in the first shot,
It's fair to say that the Guards are now on the battlefield, completely controlling the pace of the battle.
"Boss Wei, if you order your guards to withdraw now, the four southern city-states will definitely remember your favor!"
The man in spiked armor said very seriously, because according to the message coming through the communicator, the first settlement was on the verge of collapse.
If the Guardian Group really manages to wipe out the First Gathering Place, he will definitely be criticized when he returns, and that will be troublesome!
"I know you don't want to see a civil war, but let's be clear, this is a case of them provoking us!"
"A ceasefire is not out of the question."
"Someone must bear the responsibility for our losses and the funds we spent on deploying troops."
Wei Lun said with a grin, looking just like a cunning businessman, calculating every detail meticulously.
"No problem, we can contact the First Gathering Place and ask them for compensation!"
"Boss Wei, do you keep your word?"
The man in spiked armor asked, his eyes filled with tension and worry.
"count!"
Wei Lun nodded and said with a smile,
Soon, the man in spiked armor connected to the communication channel from the first settlement.
After just a few words, the first gathering group immediately backed down.
If the fighting doesn't stop, they will all be wiped out. Currently, the entire battlefield has only about 400 guards left, while the first settlement has dwindled from 2,000 to just 800 – a truly devastating situation.
Moreover, the guards were wounded, but the number of people killed in the first gathering place was enormous!
"Boss Wei, it's all settled. We're ceasing hostilities now. They'll pay 5 million zombie cores and grant the Guardian Group tax-free trade privileges!"
The man in spiked armor said nervously, because the battlefield situation, as they conveyed from their tone, was on the verge of despair.
"Oh, in that case, I will keep my promise."
Wei Lun said, then opened the guard's communication channel.
"Cease fire and withdraw!"
Wei Lun gave the order, and although the guards were still somewhat confused, they should stop since their boss had spoken.
The guards had already infiltrated the local troops when they suddenly heard the news of a ceasefire and retreat. At first, they were all somewhat stunned.
However, the design was quickly and orderly halted because the man in spiked armor had also notified the First Settlement, so the remaining eight hundred people in the First Settlement ceased fighting and retreated.
And just like that, the intense battle on the battlefield instantly ceased and ended.
"Boss, why the sudden ceasefire? We're about to win!"
Zhu Guanjun asked, full of doubt, a question that resonated with everyone; everyone wanted an explanation.
After all, the guards were about to win. Although the enemy outnumbered them, they had lost most of their men in this battle. Almost all the people lying on the ground were from the First Settlement.
"This is an order; you just need to obey it."
"The four southern city-states have intervened."
Wei Lun spoke into the dimensional communication headset, while the man in spiked armor beside him showed no reaction, despite Wei Lun's impolite words.
After hanging up the communication, the guards quickly regrouped and withdrew in an orderly manner.
As for the base, patrols resumed, while only the first settlement fled in disarray, abandoning even some wounded soldiers who hadn't died.
At this point, the first gathering place was severely weakened.
In the courtyard of Weren's headquarters, the man in spiked armor bowed very politely.
"Thank you, Boss Wei. I'll head back to report now!"
The man in spiked armor had a hovercar, so he could move around very quickly.
As soon as he turned around, Wei Lun spoke.
"Don't let the First Gathering Place forget about the 5 million zombie cores in compensation, or we will go there ourselves to demand it!"
"However, it won't be 5 million then!"
Wei Lun maintained his smile, a faint confidence on his face, and said...
"Don't worry, Boss Wei, I'll have them send it over!"
The man in spiked armor left after speaking, his face twitching slightly as he went. Five million zombie cores weren't a lot for a settlement, though.
However, this represents at least half a year's revenue for the primary market, and recently, due to pressure from the Guardian Group, it's essentially reduced to a year's worth of income.
I'm afraid that after this compensation, the warehouse in the first settlement will be empty.
These were not things that Weren was concerned about; what Weren was concerned about now was the condition of the guards' injuries.
Qin Mutong was also beside Wei Lun at this moment, looking very dignified and beautiful.
"Weilun, what's the next step?"
Qin Mutong inquired, "The guards should be back soon; it's already quite late."
"Arrange medical pods for the wounded, mobilize medical resources from the assembly area, and also distribute a box of self-heating hot pot to all guards!"
Wei Lun said with a smile, "If the guards knew that they could eat self-heating hot pot after just one battle, they would probably clamor to go to the battlefield and fight their way to the first settlement!"
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
Qin Mutong nodded and led her guards down to make the arrangements.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark, but the Guardian Group's lights remained on thanks to its power generation resources.
The results of the war have been tallied.
They annihilated 1,100 enemy soldiers, but two members of the guard died in the explosion that occurred directly in the center of the artillery barrage.
The guard suffered 230 injuries, including 190 minor injuries and 40 serious injuries. The operation lasted 50 minutes.
Looking at the battle report, Wei Lun sighed. Thankfully, the armor was produced in time, giving the guards a fighting chance and allowing them to win even with a numerical disadvantage.
As for the first gathering place
The area was now filled with cries of agony; many were seriously wounded, and over a thousand had died in the battle alone.
The management of the First Gathering Place is utterly defeated; from today onwards, their First Gathering Place is completely finished.
It will never regain its former glory. The first gathering place will now be at the bottom of the four southern city-states, and there is also a compensation of 5 million zombie crystal cores!
