Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Chapter 285: The People's Heart (Two updates of 8000 words)_2 Chapter 416: Chapter 285: The People's Heart (Two updates of 8000 words)_2 Placards thrust high behind their necks bore their crimes.

Intentional homicide, forced women, gambling, illegal detention, opium trafficking, human trafficking, organ trafficking…

As the accused were led onto the stage, many civilians from Python Mountain City recognized that these were notable figures from their community.

Once influential tycoons and bigwigs had now become prisoners.

“Prisoner brought forth, Huang Junyun, aged forty-eight, previously owner of Jingyan Technology Park, engaged in various scams, kidnappings, extortions, causing disability, and deaths.

Wu Jinggu, aged fifty-two, engaged in illegal human organ trade, and estimated to have murdered and buried victims, his actions deplorable.

Wu Pin, aged sixty-one…”
One by one, the crimes were announced, and many of the men captured wet their pants, their past arrogance gone, with many crying out in earth-shattering screams.

Of course, some, knowing they were doomed, ceaselessly cursed the Jieke Group in helpless rage.

“I have money, I still have lots of money in foreign banks, let me go, I'll give you all that money if you release me.”
“It's not my fault, it was the warlords themselves who wanted to fight the Jieke Group, I was always against it, I'm one of you!”
“Damn you, Jieke Group, may you rot in hell.”
“How dare you capture me, let me tell you, my father is…”
The expressions of those led to the high platform ranged from ferocious, to tearful, to remorseful, displaying all the vicissitudes of life.

Beneath the platform, survivors from various dark forces, seeing those who had once oppressed them, had bloodshot eyes as they hurled trash and miscellaneous objects, striking many and drawing blood.

Had the Jieke Group's soldiers not intervened, these people might have stormed the platform and torn the scoundrels to pieces.

Even the ordinary citizens of Python Mountain City joined in the barrage.

After all, these so-called dignitaries had never done anything good.

Involved in various nefarious activities, they had caused countless bloody crimes locally, protected by warlords, and naturally, the people of Python Mountain City had suffered greatly.

Fearful of the warlords' tyranny in the past, now with the Jieke Group advocating for them, they wished for nothing more than swift retribution.

The local people resented the warlords, except those involved in illegal activities, who harbored no good feelings toward the warlords.

Since warlords aren't the government, they don't address public welfare, let alone allocate funds for roads, schools, hospitals, power stations, or water supply, making their territories some of the poorest.

By contrast, although the Chan Country Government is corrupt, it still allocates a small amount annually to education and health, certainly better than the miserly warlords.

With such poor infrastructure, it was hard for citizens to earn money.

Coupled with unchecked illegal practices that contributed to lawlessness, it naturally made city residents incapable of empathizing with the warlords.

The animated crowd was held back by soldiers of the Jieke Group, particularly by several First-class Super Soldiers clad in Alloy Battle Armor, whose chilling aura deterred anyone from approaching, leaving the public no choice but to lodge complaints from below.

“That bastard was the one who broke my Achilles tendon, I wish I could kill him right now.”
“My wife, my wife was taken away by him…”
“Just because I didn't meet my targets, he cut off both my ears, he must be killed.”
“Kill them.”
“Kill them.”
“Kill them.”
The shouting grew louder and more uniform, filled with murderous intent.

“Ten criminals, their crimes warrant death, sentenced to execution by shooting, to be carried out immediately.”
After the judge read out all the crimes, he indeed did not disappoint, pronouncing the sentence on the spot, eliciting cheers from the crowd below.

Bang, bang, bang!

The soldiers of the Jieke Group picked up their rifles and pulled the trigger at the people kneeling on the ground.

No matter how glorious these individuals were at this moment, in front of the Jieke Group's peanut-sized bullets, they could only become cold corpses.

Batch after batch of criminals were brought onto the high platform for execution.

In times of chaos, harsh measures were used; the Jieke Group had no sympathy for this scum and resolutely sent their souls to the afterlife with a bullet.

As the dark forces from these cities were eradicated and coupled with Jieke's promise of upcoming major infrastructure projects, the local support for the Jieke Group soared, eliminating any worries about falling into a civil war of security.

Having dismantled the warlords' ruling foundation locally, the Jieke Group was unstoppable, their eighty thousand soldiers sweeping through the territory and delivering crushing blows to six warlord families.

In just three days of combat, the seemingly numerous troops of these six warlord families retreated again and again without putting up much resistance, surrendering their territories without a fight as casualties remained under twenty thousand.

Their will to fight and combat skills truly shocked spectators around the world.

However, the most eye-catching aspect of this battle was the appearance of the First-class Super Soldier.

People were surprised to find that the ace soldiers, originally from Steel Camp, were now assigned to regular units, which was a major reason why the warlord forces collapsed so quickly.

A First-class Super Soldier could achieve startling casualty ratios even against armies from major countries.

Saying they were fighting below their dimension against thewarlord forces is not an exaggeration by any means.

The six warlord families closest to the Zen State Liberation Front were entirely occupied by the Jieke Group, demonstrating sheer ease throughout the operations.

However, for the Eight Nation Group, this news was far from wonderful.

Especially for the Japan troops involved in the airstrike operations, Yoshimura Yuichi could not understand where so many soldiers of the Jieke Group had come from, and how they were so well-supplied with weapons and ammunition.

“Damn it, where did the Jieke Group get so many soldiers from?

Could it be that they were just hastily recruited to fill numbers?

But that doesn't seem right!”
Yoshimura Yuichi looked at the telegraph of the battle in the Northern Territory, his face full of confusion and perplexity.

Their previous airstrikes had clearly destroyed most of the Jieke Group's military bases and supplies within their territory.

The opposing soldiers should have been disorganized by now; how could they possibly emerge from the ground as suddenly as they did, pulling together seventy to eighty thousand troops that threw the six warlord families into disarray.

Actually, Yoshimura Yuichi wasn't wrong; those soldiers of the Jieke Group did indeed seem to have emerged from the ground.

“Speaking of which, these warlord soldiers are really too trashy, aren't they?

It's only been three days, and they've already collapsed.”
Reconsidering the combat strength of the warlord soldiers, Yoshimura Yuichi became even more speechless.

Knowing that the warlord soldiers were weak was one thing, but he hadn't expected them to be this incompetent.

While the Chan Country Government Army had been fighting back and forth with these warlords, if not for the military training support provided by the Eight Nation Group to the Chan Country Army, he feared their comrades would also be of such poor quality.

“Where has our army in the Ruo Kai Mountains reached?”
Yoshimura Yuichi asked his staff officer, now that they couldn't count on the warlord side, tying up Jieke Group's eighty thousand troops was considered a success.

What Yoshimura Yuichi truly cared about now was the one hundred and fifty thousand troops in the Ruo Kai Mountains.

They were the most capable troops within the borders of Chan Country.

If they were entirely destroyed, Chan Country would be in danger, and he, as the commander-in-chief, would have to face military court.

The staff officer spread out the map and said, “Our troops have withdrawn smoothly, and the one hundred and fifty thousand troops have combined and retreated to this area of Yangling Mountain, three days' march from exiting the Ruo Kai Mountains.

Since the continuous heavy rain has made marching difficult, we have already ordered the entire army to be on alert for attacks from the Jieke Group.

The opposing forces have tried everything to block our troops within the Ruo Kai Mountains, clearly aiming to annihilate our forces.”
“When can Scorpion Cloud Mountain be fully cleared?”
“We are coordinating various engineering machines and manpower to dig tirelessly around-the-clock.

We have issued a military order to completely open it up within five days.”
“Notify the combat aircraft to patrol with ammunition loaded, all-day reconnaissance and early warning aircraft to scout the Ruo Kai Mountains without missing any trace.”
With the continuous attacks from the Jieke Group, Yoshimura Yuichi realized the formidable nature of the Jieke Group and under no circumstances did he want to be caught off guard by them.
