” 66 Technology Points…”

After deciding to attack Wild Wolf Town, Zhao Yu wasn’t sure how he could win the war with just 66 remaining technology points.

After several meeting with his commander team, he still didn’t get any useful information.

Or rather, with the current Sergeant commander’s abilities, taking down a city was still too difficult.

The response was always that it was tough to win, without any feasible solutions.

“66 soldiers, or 13 elite warriors?”

Zhao Yu felt that even with these additional troops, it wouldn’t be enough to win, especially since he lacked the necessary command skills.

“Or perhaps, 30 technology points to train a centurion?”

Right now, the only viable way to win seemed to be this.

Zhao Yu took a deep breath and spent 30 technology points to train a centurion commander.

“Centurion, I plan to attack Wild Wolf Town. What are your thoughts?”

As soon as the centurion appeared, Zhao Yu immediately asked his opinion.

However, the centurion didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he exchanged information with the other four sergeant commanders before coming to a conclusion:

“Commander, I need to conduct reconnaissance on Wild Wolf Town. After understanding the enemy’s situation, I can formulate a battle plan…” “Approved!”

Zhao Yu’s face brightened with joy. The centurion was indeed courageous enough to suggest reconnaissance.

Unlike the Sergeant commander, who either admitted his lack of siege capabilities or highlighted the huge disparity between enemy and us, or proposed impractical methods, like missile barrages.

If he had that many missiles for sieging, why would he need a commander? The previously acquired drone was still in the base, but its battery was limited. It was too far to fly directly from the base to Wild Wolf Town.

Thus, the centurion sent a team to escort the drone equipment to a location five kilometers from Wild Wolf Town.

The reconnaissance process was relatively simple. Under the control of two pilots, the centurion quickly gathered information that Zhao Yu couldn’t understand.

The drone flew at a high altitude, using its high-definition camera for reconnaissance, and fortunately wasn’t detected by the people in Wild Wolf Town.

After all, their former opponents never had access to drones, so they barely guarded against aerial threats.

“How did it go?!”

When the drone returned, Zhao Yu immediately asked.

The chip processing system in his brain had already been running through it countless times.

“Commander, I have nine proposals to complete the mission…”

Zhao Yu was overjoyed. He didn’t expect the centurion commander to be so capable to propose nine methods at once.

” What’s the way to minimize casualties?!”

” A strategy of psychological warfare…”

“First step, send a negotiation letter to the enemy, making them gather their high-ranking officials together without understanding our intentions…” “Second step, deploy an unmanned combat drone to launch missiles, bombing their gathering point, leaving them leaderless…”

“Third step, create an electromagnetic signal jamming device…”

“I found that the enemy mainly relies on walkie-talkies for communication. If we drive our signal jamming vehicles under their four walls, we can block their internal communications…”

“With their command dead, it prevents any small leaders from taking charge and turning the tide…”

“Fourth step, deploy Hummingbird drones to broadcast messages, telling them to surrender and defining combat zones and civilian areas…”

“With the groundwork laid, the psychological warfare will be successful, and at least half of the enemy’s forces will surrender…”

“Fifth step, eliminate the stubborn resistance, and the mission is complete!” Listening to the centurion commander’s strategy, Zhao Yu was enlightened. This psychological warfare strategy was indeed excellent.

Mainly relying on their possession of unmanned combat drones and missiles. Just the appearance of such technology would inevitably strike fear in the enemy, as in this post-apocalyptic world, only major powers could have such weapons.

Even Black Rock City might not possess such armaments.

For a mere Wild Wolf Town to be targeted by such a major power, nobody would think of resisting.

Especially when all of their commands were wiped out, leaving them leaderless, it’s easier to make the enemy surrender.

However, Zhao Yu had a concern. Once they deployed unmanned combat drones and missiles, they couldn’t let anyone from Wild Wolf Town leave. Otherwise, if the news got out, it could bring immeasurable danger.

Of course, it’s also possible that no one would dare to attack him, thinking he truly has the support of the major power.

Such matters are uncertain and Zhao Yu didn’t dare to take the risk lightly. “What’s the next best plan? Preferably one that doesn’t involve using unmanned combat drones and missiles…”

The centurion commander quickly outlined another strategy for Zhao Yu, this time including the death rate and success rate.

“Such a high death rate?!”

According to the centurion commander, without using unmanned combat drones and missiles, at least half of his hundred men would die, even with tanks, armored vehicles, and unmanned reconnaissance drones locating the enemy’s positions.

Most importantly, this method still carried a certain risk of failure.

Zhao Yu stroked his chin and rethink about his decision.

The best method was psychological warfare. It has almost a hundred percent chance of success and a low death rate, possibly even no casualties.

But the downside was the potential for unnecessary trouble, such as attracting the attention of Black Rock City or other major powers.

Hesitating for a long time, Meng Xian came looking for Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu had to set aside his concerns and went outside the wall to receive her.

“Commander Zhao, I didn’t expect you to be so magnanimous, accepting the entire one million compensation mentioned by the Han family…”

“After returning, I thought about it. After all, we are allies. It seems inappropriate for you to bear the compensation alone…”

“So, I’ve decided to take people to the old city now to collect some gasoline…”

“We’ll split the one million between our two families…”

Meng Xian felt something was amiss, worried that Zhao Yu might be considering wiping out their Meng House Village to pay off the debt.

After discussing with others, she decided to take on half of the compensation.

Now that they have electric cars traded by Zhao Yu, it was much easier to go to the old city.

Unlike before, when they relied on walking and pushcarts that needed a week for a single trip.

Zhao Yu hadn’t expected Meng Xian and her people to have such awareness. However, he did not disclose his plan to attack Wild Wolf Town.

After all, such a move would be tantamount to provoking the Han family, and the people of Meng House Village might not dare to follow.

Especially considering their previous scene of kneeling, Zhao Yu was very clear about the power of Black Rock City and the Han family, deeply ingrained in this land, where no one dared to act rashly.

“Alright!” Zhao Yu agreed.

“If there’s extra gasoline, I’m also willing to buy it, whether it’s weapons, equipment, or food…”

Meng Xian immediately accepted the deal, “Great, it’s settled then. We’ll set off now and be back as soon as possible…”

After she left, Zhao Yu gradually understood which plan he should choose.

“I’ve decided not to pay the Han family’s one million compensation, and I also plan to attack Wild Wolf Town. This means, no matter what I do, I have already offended them…”

“Therefore, when I make my move, I must do it with a decisive and swift approach. The psychological warfare strategy is the best choice…”

He needed to exchange time for strength.

As long as he owned the Wild Wolf Town, he has complete the revenge mission and have a thousand technology points.

Subtracting three hundred for the three basic buildings, he would still have seven hundred points left. Even if all were used to train soldiers, he would have over eight hundred soldiers, enough to stand against the Han family.

“Moreover, as long as I capture Wild Wolf Town and prevent anyone from leaving, the news won’t spread, and no one will know we used missiles and fighter jets…”

Zhao Yu meticulously calculated this approach and found it feasible.

“The night is still long. Let’s execute the plan now!”

Zhao Yu took a deep breath. Success or failure hinged on this move.

Originally, he planned to accumulate strength slowly through daily tasks. Under the Han family’s pressure, he had to act decisively and took down Wild Wolf Town first.

Soon, Zhao Yu called the centurion commander and conveyed his decision to implement the psychological warfare strategy.

“Commander, the items we need to exchange now include: eight traction rockets, four electromagnetic signal jamming vehicles, four tanks, and a group of Hummingbird drones…”

The list of required exchanges was extensive and Zhao Yu was relieved that the centurion commander had made the list based on the resources available in his base.

Zhao Yu was quite confident to launch his attack now.

Two hours later.

On the open ground of the base, there appeared over a hundred military pickup trucks, two tanks, two semi-trailers towing tanks, a drone mounted with missiles, and a dense array of Hummingbird drones.

In addition, various types of weapons were ready, including rocket launchers, machine guns, mortars, and more.

This time, Zhao Yu had used up all his resources, nearly depleting every type of resource available.

Everything was ready.

Zhao Yu, full of spirit, waved his hand and commanded, “Depart!”

A hundred team led by the centurion left the base.

Zhao Yu didn’t go on this siege.

He stayed in the base, waiting for the moment the revenge mission was completed and the technology points credited, to quickly train five hundred soldiers.

First, to speed up the construction of the base and to station some troops in Wild Wolf Town.

Zhao Yu was well aware that Wild Wolf Town was insignificant; the real challenge was the Han family’s counterattack from Black Rock City after taking over the Wild Wolf Town.

The corresponding plan was already proposed by the centurion: after occupied the Wild Wolf Town, a twenty-man squad would be dispatched on the essential route from Black Rock City to Wild Wolf Town for reconnaissance.

If the Han family sent few men, he would fight with all his might to capture them. If the number exceeded his capabilities, Zhao Yu should abandon Wild Wolf Town and retreat to his base.

Zhao Yu stood at the entrance of the base, watched the departing troops..
