So it was, the end of April!
The wave of public criticism against Donghua City had subsided to near freezing! The federal agents bought off by the Salvation Society had even reported that the Eastern Province's army had begun a full-scale mobilization!
Your clone No. 1 boldly announced to the world that the officials of Donghua City, and even the entire Dongsheng Federation, had completely betrayed the people's trust. The Salvation Society, representing justice and the spirit of resistance, would no longer recognize them as legitimate administrators of the people! It would represent the Salvation Society, representing the seven million people of Donghua City, to overthrow Donghua City and even the Dongsheng Federation, and establish a new Eastern nation!
On the same day! The Salvation Society's various armies, long prepared, launched simultaneous attacks on five major cities of the Eastern Province, including the Donghua City government, with the support of hundreds of war weapons produced by the Salvation Society in the past month!
The major city governments of the Eastern Province, completely unprepared, were almost effortlessly crushed by the sudden attack of the Salvation Society's army. In less than five hours, all five human cities in the Eastern Province had fallen into the hands of the Salvation Society!
For the occupied cities, the Salvation Society directly handed them over to the Secular Department for management. The five armies, including the Salvation Society's headquarters army led by No. 1, the Salvation Society's 1st and 2nd Regiments, the Dragon Breath Mage Legion, and the Judgment Knight Legion, continued to attack other cities without stopping!
Only now, having just received the news of the Salvation Society's rebellion, the major city governments were able to hastily organize only sporadic resistance, and were quickly flattened by the Salvation Society like a petite and delicate loli. From No. 1 openly declaring war on the Dongsheng Federation in front of the media, to the five armies capturing two cities in a row, the entire process took less than ten hours! Ten of the twelve cities in the entire Eastern Province, except for the provincial capital, had fallen to the Salvation Society's army!
There was no time for rest.
Your clone No. 1 ordered No. 2, No. 4, Zong Heng, and Mu Wan to completely eliminate all organized professional forces in the occupied cities within ten minutes. Except for the Dragon Breath Mage Legion led by No. 2, which guarded the remaining two unoccupied cities leading to the provincial capital, the other three major legions immediately joined forces with the headquarters army to besiege the Eastern Provincial Capital!
Ten minutes to eliminate organized professional forces?
Although No. 1 did not explicitly state it, No. 2, No. 4, Zong Heng, and Mu Wan were all very clear about the meaning of No. 1's order.
The reason why the Salvation Society was able to achieve such amazing results in one breath was entirely because the Eastern Province had gathered the main forces of the entire province in the provincial capital, and was unprepared for the Salvation Society.
Once the provincial capital reacted and sent troops back to aid, the Salvation Society's single legion would not be able to contend with the entire army of the provincial capital!
The Salvation Society's five major legions had to gather in one place to have the strength to fight against the punitive expeditionary army. If the professionals in the occupied cities, who had lost the suppression of the Salvation Society's legions, were to cause trouble in the rear while the Salvation Society was fully confronting the provincial capital's army, it would definitely be a fatal hidden danger for the Salvation Society!
Ten minutes of disposal time was naturally impossible to persuade these professionals in the occupied cities to surrender, nor was it possible to make any proper arrangements.
But ten minutes was enough to execute all of these captured professionals!
Faced with these captured professionals, Zong Heng and Mu Wan, as humans, and as humans who had graduated from school for less than a year, were still somewhat hesitant.
But the three clones, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4, had no hesitation at all. At the moment No. 1 issued the order, the three clones began to slaughter on a large scale, and the terrifying bloody scene quickly aroused the madness of their subordinates, quickly clearing out these uncontrollable professional factors!
And having received the news that No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 had all completed the 'disposal'.
Zong Heng and Mu Wan no longer hesitated and painfully issued the order...
Late on the night of April 31st, Awakening Year 12.
The entire Eastern Province's main government was already shrouded in panic!
The provincial government's senior officials, who used to sit high in the magnificent provincial palace, gesturing and giving orders, had now successively received the news that the ten cities of the Eastern Province had all fallen.
They also knew that the Salvation Society had even held the only two remaining subordinate city governments in the entire Eastern Province, and even the roads leading from other provinces to the Eastern Province. Even if other provinces immediately sent troops to support them, they would not be able to arrive in the short term. The provincial government was already in a situation where it was surrounded by the Salvation Society in fact...
The senior officials of the provincial government, who had lived in a peaceful era for more than ten years, had long been frightened out of their wits.
The governor of the province looked at the provincial map, which was already full of red X's, with disbelief.
He had no mind to pay attention to the coffee-like drink handed over by Qin Mo, the secretary-general beside him, and only kept repeating three sentences in his mouth...
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
"In just ten hours, how could so many cities fall?! Even if I transferred the main forces of the major city governments, the major cities still have professional guilds and war groups stationed there, right? Their professional forces should add up to at least 20,000 people!!"
"But why, why did they fall so quickly?!"
"Don't mention you, the Europeans in the previous life also couldn't understand why Poland, which had always been a strong European country, fell so quickly..."
"This is blitzkrieg, the main thing is a sneak attack, without martial virtue."
Link covered his face and laughed and cried.
The panic of the governor and the senior officials of the general government could not stop the advance of the Salvation Society's army.
The four Salvation Society armies, nearly 30,000 strong, composed of Silver-level or higher professionals, carrying war weapons and even battle formations developed by the Dacheng Body Salvation Society, marched all the way to the general government with irresistible force!
The general government's army and the war groups that had been recruited by the general government before had also tried to intercept them, but the result could only be described as tragic!
Just like in the last simulation, when the A-level war group invaded the Dongsheng Federation, just four A-level war groups were able to defeat hundreds of war groups in the entire Dongsheng Federation, and it was only the Salvation Society's participation that turned the tide.
Although the war group system under the Professional Guild system greatly exerted the local role of powerful professionals, it also disintegrated the ability of war group professionals to conduct legion operations.
Trivial war groups have no power to purchase and maintain powerful war weapons, and the lowest-level D-level war groups can hardly even equip a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle! Even the war weapon coverage rate of a strong B-level war group is less than 20%. Under this premise, even if the average level of the professionals on the Eastern Province side exceeds the Salvation Society by more than five levels, under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Salvation Society's large number of war weapons, they simply do not have the strength to confront the Salvation Society's army head-on!
It was not until this moment that the provincial government finally realized how powerful the Salvation Society was, and it was too late to regret underestimating the Salvation Society.
The four Salvation Society armies besieged the provincial capital city with irresistible force! Countless Salvation Society members wearing red swastika coats and holding swastika Salvation flags had already occupied all the safe areas leading from the provincial capital to the outside world!
Through remote monitoring by drones.
The senior officials of the provincial government could even see the faces of these Salvation Society members, which, although young, were all filled with vitality!
This vitality formed a sharp contrast with the already lifeless professionals under the provincial government. A group of senior officials suddenly realized why the Salvation Society was able to develop such a powerful force in less than a year! Because under such order segregation, layers of shackles have been placed on the professionals, and even the A-level war groups no longer have this kind of desire that seems to have an infinite future!
"Vice Governor." The governor suddenly looked at the middle-aged man with graying temples and a square, solemn face behind him: "Your daughter is really remarkable, she has chosen a good organization."
"You are too kind." The middle-aged man, who is also Shangguan Lingwei's biological father, the vice governor of the Eastern Province, also had a complicated expression at the moment.
Unlike the situation in the previous simulation, when the Salvation Society had secretly absorbed him before it attacked the Eastern Province.
The current Salvation Society is developing too rapidly, and some trivial matters that do not have a significant impact on the main line will inevitably not be taken care of.
In addition, in this simulation, the scope of the Salvation Society's influence is limited to Donghua City and the surrounding cities, and it is far from being large enough to radiate to the provincial government, so in this simulation, the vice governor has not yet become a secret agent of the Salvation Society.
And he, who has always been quite proud of himself for sitting in the position of vice governor at the age of only fifty, saw that the professional organization his daughter joined had defeated the entire Eastern Province's professional army, and its army was even approaching the provincial capital, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
What is gratifying is that Shangguan Lingwei is outstanding in ability, not to mention joining a professional organization with unlimited potential, but also being able to become a senior manager of the organization!
What is sad is that the current Salvation Society cannot have the power to confront the Federation or even the Professional Guild...
Even if they can capture the Eastern Province, what is the significance? The Federation and the Professional Guild's reinforcements are already on their way. The Southeast Province, which is closest to the Eastern Province, will be able to reach the Eastern Province and launch an attack on the Salvation Society in less than two hours once its military strength is assembled!
In addition, the military strength of the entire Dongsheng Federation's six major provinces will also come to 'suppress the rebellion' continuously. Even the three A-level war groups stationed in the general government, Taichu, Wuji, and Yulin, will be dispatched to the Eastern Province at any time under the mobilization of the Professional Guild!
The combat power shown by the Salvation Society is certainly amazing! But the overall strength is only slightly stronger than that of one province. Even if it is still some distance away from the A-level war group, how can it resist the siege of the entire Federation army?
But I have to admire the leader of the Salvation Society, that boy named Link, who is indeed extraordinary in courage.
He knew that the Federation and the Professional Guild had made a decision to eliminate him, and would rather fight to the death than sit still and wait for death.
In fact, not only the vice governor, but the entire provincial government, still can't understand why the Salvation Society has to violate the Transcendent Decentralization Act...
With the Salvation Society's size and system, it is only a matter of time before it becomes an A-level war group, or even the most top-level A-level war group.
They will stand at the top of human power sooner or later. There is no right in this world that an A-level war group cannot obtain. In that case, why do they have to touch the bottom line of the Federation and the Professional Guild?
"Because their appetite has never been for any so-called A-level war group."
"And then it's to speed things up..."
Link gave the answer.
But unfortunately, the senior officials of the provincial government in the simulation obviously could not hear Link's explanation in reality.
Once the war broke out, its intensity was immediately as fierce as pouring oil on a fire!
No. 1 did not give the provincial government any chance to delay and wait for reinforcements.
After the four Salvation Society armies merged, they immediately began a fierce attack on the provincial government!
Your clones No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 personally took the field to fight against those famous Sky-level professionals and the leaders of the war groups.
With the support of the Salvation Society's army and war weapons, your three clones were able to fight evenly with more than twenty Sky-level leaders!
This once again greatly hit the morale of the provincial government's army! In their eyes, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 are just three first-year college students! But they were able to fight against these veteran leaders who had been famous for many years, or even came from before the Awakening Era!
Everything seemed to indicate that the provincial government's defeat was a foregone conclusion, and in fact, the situation on the battlefield was indeed the case!
As the Salvation Society's army pressed forward! The Judgment Knights jointly activated the battle formation...
The scales of victory finally tilted heavily towards the Salvation Society's side!
At the same time.
Just as the Salvation Society's army, led by your clones No. 1 and No. 4, was fiercely attacking the Eastern Provincial Capital.
On the other side, the Dongsheng Federation's general government had also received the news of the Salvation Society's rebellion and the fall of ten cities in the Eastern Province!
Just like the provincial government, which still can't figure out how the Salvation Society was able to occupy ten cities in just half a day.
The Federal General Government also completely couldn't understand how the Salvation Society, a mere student organization, was able to launch such a large-scale rebellion, to the point that even half a province had fallen under the Salvation Society's control!
But the iron-like facts have already happened before their eyes! Now is not the time for them to understand the reasons!
Especially now that public opinion among the people is almost unanimously supporting the Salvation Society. Just like many people can't understand why the Salvation Society, which has a promising future, has any reason to violate the Transcendent Decentralization Act and insist on rebelling against the Federation.
The Federation's lower-level professionals and mortals simply don't believe that the Salvation Society would rebel for no reason!
