Under Chen Du's orders, the 8,000 reserve troops in his hands quickly divided into countless smaller teams, using the bunkers to defend themselves. The 8,000 reserve troops were made up of Chen Du's most elite troops. As they resisted with all their might, the advancement of the central city guards led by Chen Tai slowed down.
Yue Zhong ordered, "Go, wipe out anyone who dares to resist."
"Yes! Master! "
Under Yue Zhong's orders, 20 Reapers formed a terrifying armored battalion under the control of Bai Yi, and charged into the fray.
The moment these 20 Reapers charged into the fray, they activated their powerful energy shields to absorb most of the firepower. At the same time, they fired out laser beams that pierced through the defenses of the rebels.
"Reapers!!"
"It's the Reapers!!"
"..."
The moment the 20 Reapers entered the fray, the eyes of the rebels flashed with despair, and their morale plummeted.
One officer roared out in despair, "Heavy weaponry! Energy cannons, guided missiles, laser vehicles, Reapers!! Where did our heavy weaponry go?! "
These rebels did not have heavy weaponry, and were like soldiers facing heavy tanks with rifles. They could only wait to be slaughtered. Especially since Bai Yi's Reapers were extremely accurate, the net of firepower they formed could easily wipe out the rebels. There was no way for them to defend.
After a while, they finally could not hold on any longer, and crumbled. They either fled or threw down their weapons, choosing to surrender.
After defeating the main force of the rebels, Yue Zhong did not choose to pursue them deep within the Capital. Instead, he turned around and launched an assault on the outer city gates.
Although the outer city gates of the Capital had been repeatedly attacked by the 4 Great Clans, it was still the final stronghold of the Cloud Region that had been fortified for hundreds of years. Even with the use of heavy weaponry, it was not so easy to destroy.
At the same time, there was a huge armory at the gates of the Capital, filled with weapons such as Reapers, Laser Tanks, Electromagnetic Cannons, High Caliber Energy Sports Cars, and many other advanced weapons.
The reason why these weapons had not been of use earlier was because Yue Zhong had Bai Yi, the Super A.I. Many of the fully automated weapons were controlled by White Yi the moment they were activated, and they began to massacre the city guards.
There were many rebel soldiers of the 4 Great Clans stationed at the city gates. Under the assault of the Reapers, their morale had crumbled, and many surrendered.
After fighting for half a day, Yue Zhong finally gained control of the entire outer city.
Along the way, with Chen Tai's help, Yue Zhong managed to recruit over 5,000 City Guards, using the Reapers to wipe out 2,000 of them who were unwilling to surrender.
The moment the gates fell into Yue Zhong's hands, he immediately sent people to activate the automated systems of the various weapons.
The Reapers, Combat Robots, Fully Automatic Multi-purpose Laser Tanks and other heavy weapons that had been waiting quietly in the armory were activated. Under Bai Yi's control, they quickly occupied strategic locations.
Within the capital, the armies of the 4 Great Clans had also gathered together, occupying various strategic locations.
In a secret underground room in the inner city, the four Patriarchs of the four major families sat around a round table.
Dou Meng's gaze was solemn as he said slowly, "What should we do now? That fellow has already gained control of the outer city. With the strength of his Super A.I., he can quickly form a powerful armored unit to attack. We can't stop him. "
With Yue Zhong's Super A.I., if Bai Yi had enough automated armored units, she would be able to exhibit a terrifying combat strength. This was something the 4 Patriarchs were clear about. Because of this, after Wei Ming Qing had been killed, they had immediately stabbed Yue Zhong in the back. However, they had underestimated Yue Zhong's strength. Not only did they fail to kill him, they were even defeated by Yue Zhong.
Zhao Sheng hesitated, "We can gather all the nobles in the city to resist him. He has less than 10,000 soldiers under him. If we use 100,000, we should be able to take him on. "
Lu Yi snorted coldly, "100,000 troops. It's not like you don't know what kind of people they are. Of the 100,000-strong army, the true elites were only 20,000 of them that had been defeated by Yue Zhong. The other 80,000 are just a motley crew. Although there are many experts among them, if they were to face Yue Zhong's armored unit, they would at most be able to destroy a few Reapers, and would not be able to affect the overall situation. Furthermore, those fellows are fence-sitters. If the battle goes well, it's fine. However, if it doesn't, they might stab us in the back. "
After the 4 Great Clans had made their move, most of the nobles in the inner city had joined in the rebellion. The large and small nobles, together with their private forces, numbered up to a hundred thousand. After the battle against Wei Mingqing in the inner city, twenty thousand of the nobles' rebel soldiers had died. Now, there were only eighty thousand left.
These 80,000 soldiers, in addition to the 20,000 elites of the 4 Great Clans, formed the core of the inner city.
The private forces of the nobles were lacking in weapons and training. It was not a problem for them to bully the commoners, but against an official army, they were too weak. When they attacked the inner city, the five thousand Imperial Guards were able to defeat the hundred thousand private soldiers of the nobles. One could only imagine how weak they were.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, everyone fell into silence. They were clear that in front of Yue Zhong's armored unit, these 100,000 soldiers would not be able to withstand a single blow.
As long as the casualties reached a certain level, these motley crew would definitely submit to Yue Zhong. After all, there was no enmity between the nobles and Yue Zhong.
After a while, Chen Mu suddenly spoke up, "Let's negotiate with Yue Zhong."
Dou Meng voiced out his worry, "I'm afraid he's not willing. He already has the upper hand, if he hardens his heart, he can wipe out all of us."
Chen Mu spoke slowly, "As long as he accepts us, we can support him to become the new Emperor of Cloud Region!"
Zhao Sheng frowned and barked, "I object!! Just one of those bastards like Wei Ming Qing is enough. If Yue Zhong really becomes the new Emperor of Cloud Region, with the Super A.I. in his hands, we won't be able to stop him. "
Chen Mu spoke coldly, "In Wei Ming Qing's era, did our 4 Great Clans have the power to stop him? If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's Super A.I., we wouldn't be able to resist Wei Ming Qing's rule. Furthermore, do we have anything to stop him from ascending the throne now? "
Lu Yi said thoughtfully, "Although we don't have the chips to stop him from ascending that throne, without us, he absolutely can't think about ascending that throne so easily."
Chen Mu nodded, "That's right. This is the only bargaining chip we can bring out. "
Controlling a city was not an easy task, and Yue Zhong did not have any foundation within the Capital. If he wanted to control it, he would need to expend a lot of effort. If he were to forcefully proclaim himself the Emperor, the other nobles might submit to him on the surface, but behind his back, they would definitely play dirty tricks.
Inside the secret room, there was silence once more.
After a while, Dou Meng spoke slowly, "Then let's send Lu Hua over."
Not long after, an enhanced motorcycle turned into a whirlwind as it sped towards the outer city of the Central Imperial City.
On the outer city walls of the Capital, a number of soldiers from the Central City Guards were stationed at various important points, while Yue Zhong was patrolling the city walls.
Phantom followed behind Yue Zhong, her gaze complicated as she looked at the man in front of her. It was this man who had made use of the chaos in the Capital to pull out a troop, occupying the most crucial part of the outer city walls. Currently, with the help of the Super A.I., he had become the strongest person in the entire Capital.
Chen Tai suddenly asked, "Sir, may I ask why we're not attacking the inner city yet? With the strength of our army, we can easily crush the resistance of the bandits. "
Chen Tai had just submitted to Yue Zhong not too long ago, and he was eager to prove his loyalty through battle after battle, as well as gain some merit.
Relying on the heavy weaponry in the outer city, Chen Tai was confident that his 500 men could deal with the 100,000 soldiers in the inner city.
With all sorts of heavy weaponry and Super A.I., Yue Zhong's troops were up against the rebel forces of the 4 Great Clans. It was like a modern American army armed to the teeth against an ancient Qing army that could only use blades and bows. Both sides were not on the same level.
Yue Zhong eyed the inner city, "I'm waiting for some people. If they're smart, they should send some people over today. At most, we'll wait until tomorrow. If they're stubborn, then there's no need to show mercy. "
A soldier quickly came over to report, "Sir! There's an envoy seeking an audience. "
Yue Zhong replied indifferently, "Bring him over."
"Yes!"
Not long after, a middle-aged man with decent features, dressed in a suit, came up to Yue Zhong and bowed, "Zhou Xin greets Sir Yue Zhong!"
Yue Zhong turned around with an expressionless face, "Speak your mind."
Zhou Xin looked at Yue Zhong and spoke out, "Sir Yue Zhong, your might is unparalleled. You've destroyed the Demon Wei Ming Qing, and saved the millions of people in Cloud Region. Our Zhou Clan represents the entire Cloud Region, and hopes that Sir Yue Zhong can ascend the throne, and become the new Emperor of Cloud Region.
