Zhao Yu nodded slightly. There were fewer people than he had expected.

However, he did not expect the Han family to bring mercenaries.

According to the information provided by the scouts, these mercenaries were a private armed force that was stronger than the normal battle team.

They had more professional weapons and equipment, and they usually carried out defense and attack missions.

The mercenaries that accompanied the Han family this time were called the Knight Mercenary Group. There were 500 of them.

Among them, 400 were frontline combatants and 100 were logistics staff.

On normal days, the Knight Mercenary Group would divide into dozens of small teams, taking on various defense missions.

Summoned by the Han family, they all gathered together to join the army in war.

According to the scouts, this Knight Mercenary Group is not small in scale, ranking among the top ten large mercenary groups in Black Rock City.

“Han family really underestimates me…”

Zhao Yu shook his head. According to the intelligence, the Han family’s regular army has three thousand troops, with two large mercenary groups and a dozen small ones affiliated under the Han family, totaling around six or seven thousand people.

All together, the Han family can mobilize tens of thousands of people, all of whom are experts with certain combat abilities.

If the Han family were to issue a bounty, they could easily mobilize twenty thousand private armed forces without any problem.

Zhao Yu heard about the mercenary group for the first time and learned more about it after some detailed inquiry.

Although nominally affiliated with the Han family, operate independently on a day-to-day basis, only serving the Han family when needed.

This is also why the Han family does not maintain more private soldiers; three thousand is the limit they can afford.

The stronger mercenaries under the Han family are probably the ones called ‘Angels,’ not only numbering in the thousands but also employed year-round by the eight major trade guilds, traveling between multiple cities.

In terms of combat capability, they are much stronger than the Knight Mercenary Group.

In contrast, the Knight Mercenary Group mainly undertakes wilderness defense tasks, providing protection for wealthy bosses in the wilderness.

Compared to the wilderness tasks near Black Rock City, the dangers encountered while traveling between multiple cities are much greater.

“What to do?!”

After occupied at Wild Wolf Town, Zhao Yu’s strength has greatly increased, capable of producing dozens of missiles.

Besides, he has enough gasoline reserves to dispatch twenty tanks for a mission.

These forces are more than enough to annihilate the thousand troops dispatched by the Han family.

But he dares not deploy them all at once.

“If I easily wipe out these thousand people, the Han family might really issue a mobilization order, and the next attack might come with tens of thousands of troops…’

Tens of thousands of people, even the thought of it makes Zhao Yu feel dizzy.

This is an army of thousands with modernized weapons and equipment. Even without heavy weapons like fighter jets and tanks, they are not to be underestimated.

Of course, what Zhao Yu is most worried about is that if he uses tanks or missiles, it might attract the attention of major powers.

Through these days of understanding, Zhao Yu realizes that his strength is still far lacking.

This world, due to previous wars is abundant in military virtue. There are often large-scale battles involving thousands of people, and the wilderness is filled with elite soldiers who have participated in real combat and large-scale operations.

As far as he knows, possessing helicopters, fighter jets, missiles, and nuclear weapons are the hallmarks of major powers, and there are only a few of them.

If he rashly uses these, he might attract global attention, with speculation about where he got these weapons.

His base is indeed strong and he could even produce nuclear weapons.

Once exposed, even if the major powers don’t send nuclear bombs, just sending a few fighter jets to bomb him would be more than he could handle.

After careful consideration, Zhao Yu decides to forgo the use of missiles and fighter jets.

However, tanks can be used.

According to information from Black Rock City, tanks are not considered rare.

Because of their high fuel consumption and limited operational space. The top powers have not strictly controlled the outflow of tanks.

Unlike helicopters and fighter jets, which are aerial-control weapons and hardly ever leak out.

Tanks are a different story. Almost every prominent family in Black Rock City owns some, to strengthen their arsenals.

In just the past year, eight great merchant associations have sold more than a hundred tanks to Black Rock City.

The four major families each have their share, with the Han family owning at least twenty.

In this expedition, Han Yong De mobilized two tanks from his family.

Two tanks, of course, are of little use in such a large war, but Han Yong De always wanted to show off.

After all, this is the first time he has organized a large-scale war, and this experience is very important to him.

Han family rarely has the opportunity to use tanks in actual combat, so they also want to see the effectiveness of tanks in this opportunity.

“Drones…”

Zhao Yu discovers that although the Han family does not have aerial-control weapons like helicopters and fighter jets, they do have drones.

Of course, these are just civilian drones, only capable of reconnaissance.

Moreover, according to the rules circulated among the civilians, even if the Han family could modify these drones, they dare not equip them with weapons.

The main reason is that others major families do not allow it and have imposed restrictions on these local forces in various aspects.

“Since that’s the case, we’ll also use drones, but this time we can’t use the integrated reconnaissance and strike drones…”

If the enemy can use certain equipment, he naturally can too, and this way, it won’t attract too much attention..”
