A "Blue Bird" vehicle left the formation and flew over Patbon City.
According to General Wang's instructions, the vehicle flew at a very low altitude.
The vehicle passed by large tracts of farms and pastures outside the city, and livestock in extremely poor condition were eating in fences.
The vehicle passed by many small factories and workshops. The backward production capacity and ancient production methods made the sergeants on the vehicle feel as if they had traveled back to the old era.
Countless Xixuan civilians raised their heads and saw the empire's "Blue Bird" vehicle. The ferocious and intimidating muzzle of the vehicle made those people visibly panic and run away.
There are still some people who are watching on the spot. It is obvious that they are not brave, but stupid. They have no idea that what is passing over their heads is the imperial military standard vehicle.
The vehicle ignored the civilians below and flew straight to the center of the city.
The sergeants judged the importance of the building based on the height and shape they saw, and collected various data about it.
At the same time, various technical means are used to explore whether there are large-scale space and metal reactions underground, and whether there are major energy fluctuations and heat accumulation.
For the first time, General Wang felt that the waiting time was so long.
The levitation of the flying vehicle cluster requires energy. Considering the need to save energy, General Wang ordered to mobilize a thousand armed sergeants to clear the site and set up a base camp on the outskirts of Patbang City.
Since no enemy defense facilities have been found, let's set up camp first.
A thousand imperial armed forces, using the most advanced cutting and leveling tools, leveled a huge site on a vast highland less than five kilometers away from Bangcheng in less than half an hour.
As the order was issued, the vehicle cluster of the Western Expedition Army landed in this open space as a whole.
Countless heavy armed equipment, prefabricated alloy walls of prefabricated field camps, various machine guns, and air defense formations were quickly pulled out from several "Kunpeng" vehicles to build warning positions on the spot.
A "Totem Pole" relay system was inserted into the four corners and center of the camp, and a "True Listen" system was stationed in the sky.
Although it cannot be connected to the barrier system in Yasi, the information communication in the entire camp has become a whole.
Ten minutes later, a heavily defended camp was set up, and the exploratory "Blue Bird" vehicle had just returned.
The results are very frustrating.
Thousands of spaces were discovered underground throughout Patbon City.
However, the depth and scale of those spaces are very small. Most of them are still underground parking lots before the Great Annihilation. Some of them may collapse at any time without blasting.
Even the depth and strength of some of the newly built air raid shelters after the Great Annihilation seriously did not match the city's status.
The detection results are without exception that all underground spaces have no military characteristics, no large metal echoes, no thermal reactions and no energy fluctuations.
This low-altitude scanning and detection detected the mysterious temple and the surrounding huge government square in more detail, basically reaching decimeter-level accuracy.
"Damn it, this is a complete mess, leaving this mess to the empire!"
Rubbing his eyebrows, General Wang made the final decision:
"Five thousand sergeants are left behind to defend the camp.
The remaining 20,000 to 5,000 people took over the entire city in combat form!
But those who stand in the way will be shot without mercy!
All members of the two advance teams, staff and command personnel, except for a small number of people staying in the camp, together with a thousand sergeants and fifty warlocks, followed the headquarters to the city-state government and the temple square! "
At the same time as the order was issued, a temporary information system was set up to send the various road node information extracted by the exploration vehicle to the commanders at all levels as a whole, and make corresponding regional allocations.
The whole camp was in motion.
All the sergeants and warlocks of the Western Expeditionary Army who took over the city were wearing various weapons and uniforms and carrying standard weapons. They walked out of various flying vehicles and headed in their respective directions according to the tasks assigned by the flagship's supercomputer core. Assault away.
The senior personnel led by General Wang, surrounded by a thousand imperial armed forces, also moved towards the predetermined direction.
A thousand exoskeletons composed of the Empire's "valiant warriors" and "Rangers", tall and heavy steps in uniform, each step will bring tremors to the earth.
A huge black battle flag, equipped with a thick and towering stainless steel flagpole, was held in the hands of the armed sergeant beside General Wang. As the troops marched, it was spread high in the wind and made a hunting sound.
The silver dragon pattern embroidered with thin silver thread in the middle of the battle flag is the military flag of the Western Wasteland Army.
The empire's legionary battle flags all have a black background with dragon patterns of different colors to show distinction.
Such a majestic foreign team suddenly entered the city, making the entire city-state seem to come to a standstill in an instant.
The Xixuan woman with a water jug on her head stood blankly on the roadside, with a gray veil covering her face. Her expression could not be seen, but her frightened and enlarged eyes were enough to show her inner shock;
The middle-aged man who was serving bread in the shop had a huge tumor on his neck caused by radiation. He looked at the passing troops in surprise and forgot about the work in his hands. As the ground shook again and again, the dough paddle in the spoon in his hand , dripping on the ground, but the man didn't notice it;
Four or five burly men gathered in a dirty corner, chatting as if they had nothing to do. They looked like wilderness hunters, but they had no weapons. When they suddenly saw the Western Expeditionary Army appear, they couldn't hide their frightened expressions. live;
Several children with different skin colors and dirty bodies, some with mutated growths hanging on their faces and hands, stood among the mud and garbage on the roadside, looking curiously at this mighty and mysterious army;
A white-haired old man on the roadside who was playing the piano and playing with snakes was shocked by the sudden appearance of the army and forgot about the strings in his hand and the venomous snake in front of him.
…
After a short lag, all the civilians of Xixuan came to life almost at the same time.
They began to run away quickly, running towards their homes, towards the river and the mountains, towards places unknown to them.
And when they run to other neighborhoods, they will also find that the scary army is stationed at the intersection.
As a result, the crowd became even more panicked and ran wildly.
The general's mind is always connected to the camp's flagship information system.
The sergeant who took over the city first also made it clear in the system mission that information relays should be deployed at certain locations.
Therefore, wherever the army arrives, it is the place where the information system of the Western Expeditionary Army is supported.
Therefore, in General Wang's mind, he could see the real-time communication image.
A black torrent rushed to various road nodes in Patbon City, setting up roadblocks and blocking the entire city.
It took half an hour to march from the temporary station to the square outside the temple, which is the square next to the government in Patbang.
However, General Wang deliberately suppressed the speed, allowing the majestic military power, neat and dull steps, and cold weapons to fully intimidate the citizens of Patbang City.
It took him a full hour and a half to arrive outside the mysterious temple.
Standing on the square, Wang Jueming looked up at the mysterious building and curled his lips.
Then he looked around and shook his head in disdain.
Finally, General Wang looked at the rows of people waiting outside the temple.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong also silently followed General Wang's staff and command team, looking at the mysterious building, but no memories emerged.
Wei Ling secretly thought that it seemed that he had never been to Pat State before he lost his memory.
He had just witnessed the entire streets he passed and the civilians of Xixuan he had seen. The backward appearance of the city and the health status of the citizens surprised him.
I couldn't figure it out even more. With such a poor and weak social structure and level of development, why would we still be enemies of the empire?
Is the head of the senior executive of the Xixuan Federation really caught in the door?
At this time, among the rows of people waiting outside the temple, an old man wearing linen robes walked over from the front row of people.
The old man has white hair and beard, high eyebrows and deep blue eyes, a typical image of the Onsa White Devil.
Holding a symbolic scepter in both hands, he walked five meters in front of General Wang, bowed his body, and threw a message to everyone:
“Dear Your Excellency, please allow me, Alexander, the former Speaker of the Holy Federation of Pat State, to represent Pat State to ask for surrender from your country!
The state government departments have been dissolved and the people have been notified. Please take over the city! "
This is the benefit of mind-body communication. Regardless of language and grammatical barriers, the other party can imprint his true thoughts on everyone's mind. Wei Ling sighed in his heart.
Wang Jueming looked stern and said nothing, but he looked at Yang Jingjie.
It seems that the development of things is definitely not what the empire wants.
Taking over a federal city without spending a single soldier would bring no benefits to the empire other than symbolic significance.
Not to mention the dilapidated city, the poor citizens, the race that is not my kind, the huge cultural differences, the long distance, and even the unknown hidden dangers, it is definitely not what the empire wants to accept.
What was the purpose of forming the Western Expeditionary Army?
It is to punish the warmongers and to demonstrate the country's prestige and force, not to covet this poor country.
Within the traditional territory of Bactria, there are still vast forests and uninhabited wastelands that cannot be developed, and most of the citizens of the empire live underground with good protection.
Only in recent years, as the radiation has weakened, people in some non-military counties have had the need to move to the ground. In other places, they still live in safe underground.
What does the Empire want with this faraway enclave?
"Mr. Speaker, this is only the opinion of your country, Pat, and does not represent the Holy Federation you are talking about. We call it the Xixuan Federation. Am I understanding it correctly?"
General Wang looked directly into Alexander's eyes with cold eyes.
"Yes, your Excellency, the Federal Parliament hopes to negotiate with your country in Pat State. We are responsible for this military operation and accept the punishment for the failure of the operation.
Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, Patbon chose to surrender. Your taking over the city does not conflict with subsequent negotiations! "
"Sir, do you mean that the Xixuan Federation has been defeated by this battle?"
"Your Excellency, you can understand my statement this way!"
Wang Jueming laughed, but still did not take the scepter from the opponent's hand:
"Sir, do you know the purpose of our empire's Western Expeditionary Army coming here?"
Alexander raised his eyes slightly:
"Your country is the victor and the conqueror. Everything you see is conquered!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
General Wang burst out laughing, with contempt on his lips:
"Is this your logic and civilization?
Does our Daxia Empire need to use force to occupy the land?
Is it necessary to use violence to conquer the people?
Throughout the ages, the development of our civilization and the growth of our culture have been automatically integrated due to the admiration of the surrounding ethnic groups.
We have only one purpose when we step out of the country, and that is to defend against foreign enemies, to punish the warmongers, to give an explanation to our comrades who sacrificed their lives in resisting your aggression, and to give an explanation to hundreds of millions of compatriots! "
Alexander's face was stern, and he was somewhat shaken by General Wang's words:
“Dear Your Excellency, if your country wants to try relevant personnel for inciting war crimes, this is also part of the negotiation, and I have no right to question it.
We may have different views on culture and civilization, but this does not affect our attempts to solve the current situation. "
Wang Jueming nodded:
"Well, Mr. Alexander, you should understand that the Imperial Western Expeditionary Army came to Patbon to fight, and its nature was to be a violent force, not a negotiating team.
But since you are willing to surrender unconditionally, this situation is beyond the scope of my general’s authority..."
Wang Jueming pondered for a moment and continued to throw packets:
"Because of this situation, I have to ask the empire's senior officials for instructions, which will take a few days to wait.
Sir, you and the other high-level officials from Patbon will stay in this dark room for a few days! "
Alexander raised his eyebrows:
"Dear Sir, this is not a black house, it is a temple!"
Wang Jueming smiled disdainfully:
"Okay, just think of it as your temple! You can just pray to your gods and wait for the empire's decision!"
Wang Jueming didn't waste any more words and ordered the sergeants to set up defenses around the square, trapping the group of people here.
Then with a slight thought, he summoned the camp's flagship.
In a moment, the sky-blocking figure of "Kunpeng" flew over the temple and slowly landed towards the square.
It's really dangerous. The size of this square can accommodate an imperial vehicle of this level.
The sense of oppression brought about by such a huge and light vehicle made Alexander and the people in the rows behind him look a little pale.
After the explanation, General Wang ignored Alexander's opinion and directly led a group of senior officials and some sergeants to board the vehicle and flew away.
