“Terrifying!”

The former battalion commander spoke gravely, “These special forces can’t possibly be trained by a minor party…”

The Han patriarch’s heart tightened, and he asked, “Does my Han family have such forces?”

The former battalion commander internally scoffed at the idea, thinking the

Han family wasn’t nearly capable enough.

However, he didn’t show it, instead nodding and saying, “Of course, the soldiers I trained are no less capable than them. It’s just a pity that they were leaderless at that time…”

“Fool!”

The Han patriarch was furious and ordering, “After we return, dig up Yong De’s corpse, take it to the execution ground, and whip it ten times to appease the souls of our fallen soldiers in heaven…”

The former battalion commander felt slightly relieved, understanding this was the patriarch’s way of appeasing the people.

He had only mentioned the defeat due to leaderlessness, which indirectly pointed to incompetence at the top causing the army’s demise.

Fortunately, the Han patriarch was decisive. Even for his own son, he didn’t hesitate to sanction the whipping of his corpse, effectively utilizing the situation.

“Additionally…”

The former battalion commander said seriously, “there wasn’t a single enemy corpse at the scene…”

-This means they are very cautious. Firstly, they fear letting us know about their casualty rate and they prevent us from gathering intelligence from their soldiers’ corpses…”

“Something to hide?”

The Han patriarch started to figure the party behind this.

If they didn’t dare letting their corpses be seen, did it mean their soldiers had distinct features that could reveal their identities upon sight?

If so, Zhao Yu must have support from someone else!

This realization eased the Han patriarch’s mind.

If Zhao Yu were just a wilderness power, he might have been extremely frustrated.

Knowing Zhao Yu was just a pawn and they were fighting a larger power behind him, he felt more at ease.

He wasn’t worried about that major power causing trouble for him. After all, their need for secrecy was reveling their problem.

As for who the enemy was and whether they could continue the fight, the Han patriarch already had plans. He intended to convene a meeting with the four major families and eight great merchant associations upon his return.

The Han family’s investigation came to a close. Under the patriarch’s orders, the corpses of the dead and wounded soldiers were collected and brought back. When the Han army returned to Black Rock City, the whole city was shaken. Nearly eight hundred corpses belonged to the Han army came back from the campaign.

Additionally, the eldest son of the Han family also perished in this battle. Of course, that was the official story. The major powers within the city learned the truth through spies and informants.

They knew that Han Yong De was killed by city guards, and only eight hundred had actually died in battle.

Still, this was enough to shock all major families in the city.

“Who exactly is this Zhao Yu?!”

“He managed to fight the Han army and wipe out a thousand men and no one knows their casualties…”

“This Zhao Family Town seems quite formidable…”

“Defeating the Han army, I declare Zhao Family Town as the number one town in the wilderness…”

The public’s discussions about Zhao Family Town were endless.

On the official, the Han family had not yet announced their next move.

For a while, Zhao Family Town’s reputation soared, and many people even thought about visiting the town.

Especially those who had committed crimes in Black Rock City and were on the blacklist seemed eager, considering relocating to Zhao Family Town to start anew.

” Zhao Yu won this battle?!”

It was still the same room as before. Xu Jia Lu asked with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, my lady!”

Luo Bing nodded and said with a complicated expression, “He has a drone over there. We didn’t dare to get too close. We could only watch from afar.”

“Tell me about the situation!”

“We could not get near for specifics, but I know it’s that Zhao Yu would open fire. His ammunition is plentiful; he almost shattered that abandoned town…” “Right, Zhao Yu also has two tanks, very powerful…”

Luo Bing still had a trace of shock in her eyes, recalling her fear upon seeing the tanks the night before.

Fortunately, they were not Zhao Yu’s enemies and were far from the battlefield. She hadn’t expected that their initial sponsor, Zhao Yu, would be so powerful. Not only was he able to defeat the thousand-strong Han family army, but he also possessed such advanced weaponry.

“Tanks… that’s something!”

Xu Jia Lu murmured to herself. “Could it be that he’s involved with some woman again?!”

In her opinion, Zhao Yu himself definitely didn’t have this capability.

Before the apocalypse, she had always kept an eye on Zhao Yu.

Back then, those with military and political backgrounds were most likely to rise to power.

In contrast, rich people like Zhao Yu who only had financial strength, basically had no future prospects.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu saw things clearly. While the world had not yet descended into complete chaos and money had not become worthless, he prioritized spending his money on shelters, barely surviving the first wave of impact. However, she lost interest in observing Zhao Yu and lost contact with him. Involved with women?!

Luo Bing was astonished, not understanding what Xu Jia Lu meant.

But she dared not ask more, looking down at the ground, appearing as if she was oblivious to external affairs.

Xu Jia Lu seemed to think of something. She snapped back to reality and said, “Luo Bing, I need you to do me another favor…

“Please instruct me, Miss…”

“Alright!”

Xu Jia Lu nodded, “I’ll write a letter later.. You’ll help me deliver it to Zhao Family Town and hand it personally to Zhao Yu!
