Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Redstone Army Became Subordinate to Ji Yang

Sun Changping and two middle-level officers from the Redstone Army had long been in contact and arrived together, seemingly willing to support Ji Yang.

Originally, they thought there would be a significant battle, but instead, they received orders to infiltrate directly.

Once here, everyone was shocked; they hadn’t expected such a situation.

"You take your men, seize their weapons, and then forcefully incorporate them. If they don’t surrender, kill them!" Ji Yang commanded Sun Changping.

The two surrendering Redstone Army officers, seeing their high-ranking colleagues already dead, broke out in sweat and looked at Ji Yang with fear in their eyes.

They couldn’t understand how Ji Yang had managed it, killing so many people in a camp of over 5,000 soldiers, especially knowing that the West had secretly sent over a hundred special forces troops, though only dozens were here, which still represented a significant force.

With newfound respect, they felt more confident about defecting to Ji Yang’s side.

One of them, named Zhan Sen, said, "I have some men under me, I can get them to help with the surrender."

Another, named Jing Angshan, also said, "I also have some men who can do the same job."

"From now on, you two will take over this force, and all operations will be under the command of Sun Changping."

Ji Yang looked at the two men who wanted to defect.

"We will obey orders," they both now eagerly wanted to establish their worth in front of Ji Yang.

Sun Changping quickly arranged everything.

Sun Changping’s men soon recalled and occupied advantageous positions with weapons like machine guns and discreetly confiscated the opposition’s weapons.

The two men acted as well.

Although the process triggered some disturbances, eventually facing the military repression from Sun Changping and others, and discovering their leaders were dead leaving only two middle-level leaders, the over 5,000 soldiers naturally almost surrendered.

Zhan Sen, a somewhat capable person, soon collaborated with Sun Changping to reorganize these soldiers, appointing their people as officers, effectively seizing control of the army.

After taking over, Sun Changping and the newly integrated army headed for another city with nearly 5,000 soldiers by night.

The surrendered soldiers of the Redstone Army did not show the reluctance Ji Yang had feared. After learning more, it turned out many were impoverished, joining the army only for money. To them, whomever provided food and money would earn their loyalty. Now that Ji Yang’s men continued offering them pay and food, there were no objections.

Relying on such people wouldn’t win wars, and Ji Yang didn’t expect much from them; thus, he let Sun Changping lead them from behind, while he quickly drove towards the location with the 5,000 soldiers.

This operation gave Ji Yang even more confidence in himself.

Ji Yang knew that due to his rapid actions, the situation here had not been conveyed to the enemy, which presented him with an opportunity.

The distance between the two cities wasn’t far, which was why the Redstone Army dared to disperse troops to garrison them.

Thus, upon reaching another military camp, Ji Yang indeed found the camp similarly disordered with no vigilance.

Ji Yang even noticed the guards, lax due to the approaching dawn, further relaxing their guard.

After killing a few, Ji Yang reached the surveillance room and found the personnel dozing off, not monitoring the screens.

After eliminating these people, Ji Yang relaxed further.

With a map provided by Zhan Sen’s men, Ji Yang quickly dispatched the officers.

Naturally, the Western special forces present also became high-priority targets for elimination.

Although these special forces soldiers were from the battlefield and highly alert, they met their match in Ji Yang, a remarkably capable person who detected them from a distance and used True Yuan to silently fire bullet heads, swiftly killing them.

When the men brought by Sun Changping arrived, Ji Yang’s mission was nearly complete.

Without exception, Sun Changping’s men quickly took over, and then Zhan Sen’s men began persuading surrender.

After handing everything over to Sun Changping, Ji Yang alone headed towards Mancity.

Although he had undertaken these actions, he still had to maintain the facade of an official to the outside world.
