After inspecting the naval forces, Ye Fan proceeded to inspect the army units.

Two hundred Apocalypse tanks and one hundred rocket launchers had already been enlisted, and Ye Fan specifically went to take a look at the Apocalypse Tank.

Previously only seen in games, this was the first time seeing it in reality.

The Apocalypse Tank not only comes equipped with anti-air missiles but also has a dual barrel design not present in the real world, capable of firing two shells simultaneously.

The Type 99 tank is also a heavy-duty main battle tank, but beside the Apocalypse, it clearly looks a size smaller.

The black and red paint job, along with its thick armor, gives the tank a deterrent force other tanks lack.

All these Apocalypse tanks are One-Star, and Ye Fan climbed onto one to take a look, seeing it contained fifty rounds of shells, six anti-air missiles, and six thousand rounds of machine-gun ammunition.

The entire tank weighs over eighty tons, and it is said that once upgraded to Three-Star, the weight will reach one hundred tons; one can imagine how thick the armor would be.

The A300 rocket launcher is also formidable, with a range of 290 kilometers. If equipped with a few thousand units, they could easily flatten cities, not to mention that a horde of corpses would be no match.

Two hundred Apocalypse tanks and three hundred Type 99 main battle tanks formed a massive armored group.

Additionally, the rocket launchers, together with the original artillery units, created a long-range strike group.

And that's not all; when Ye Fan came to inspect, Wang Hu, who was appointed as the Brigade Commander of the second brigade, personally led the entire brigade's soldiers to line up in greeting.

A force of up to twenty thousand strong soldiers, robust and full of vigor.

However, this unit comprised all One-Star soldiers who have yet to experience the trial of the battlefield.

Ye Fan went there and directly issued orders to all the officers and soldiers of the second brigade.

"The second brigade is a bunch of rookies, but the soldiers from our system won't slack off."

"Now, in Kaiyuan County north of the river, a Corpse King has appeared, leading a million-strong horde of corpses. As you all know, this horde will eventually come out to feed on humans. We cannot let them threaten our territory, so I order you to attack the county, eliminate the Corpse King. The navy and air force will coordinate with your operations, but I have one requirement: end the battle within three days. Do you have confidence?!"

"Yes, we have confidence! We will ensure the mission is completed!"

"Good to have confidence. Wang Hu, you coordinate the plan with the navy and air force, I won't be directing this. The TV station crew will arrive shortly; they will accompany your unit in action. By noon today, the annihilation battle should commence, and it will be broadcast live on television."

Realizing the difficulty of this battle, Wang Hu and others immediately began formulating a combat plan.

While the plan was being drawn, the main force had already set out.

The Dawn Army second brigade, along with the armored regiment and artillery regiment, swiftly advanced along the bridge.

The navy also followed forward; the main asset in this battle is carrier-based aircraft.

Carrier-based aircraft also need to be promoted stars, as Three-Star fighters are far superior to One-Star ones.

The air force is also on standby; once the mission is confirmed, forty AG-16s, fifteen AG-10s, ten White Bear bombers, and several helicopters from the Wanguo Island airport can be deployed into battle at any time.

The TV station crew also set off; the reporter was Ye Luo, the second to arrive, Ye Fan's own sister.

By favoring his kin, Ye Fan directly appointed Ye Luo as the director and chief reporter of the Wanguo Island TV station, as no one opposed this decision.

Ye Luo will provide full coverage of this attack on Kaiyuan County and has already prepared thoroughly.

.....

In Jiangzhou Base City.

Zheng Jinnan felt a bit of a headache watching the group of foreign delegates arriving, listening to their noisy discussions.

Originally he was Qin Han's Grand Duke, but under James's contact, he unexpectedly became the representative for foreign affairs. These people came directly to him, which annoyed him greatly.

If it were in the past, he would definitely have Hua Wushuang personally throw these people out.

However, now that Hua Wushuang is locked up in prison by him, he finds it difficult to decide.

Forget it, let these people stir things up once, they're here against Ye Fan anyway.

If they can cause Ye Fan some trouble, Zheng Jinnan would be glad to see it.

However, Zheng Jinnan wasn't optimistic because according to intelligence, Ye Fan's side has also built an aircraft carrier.

It's really puzzling how Ye Fan managed to build an aircraft carrier so soon after arriving on Wanguo Island. Could there be a shipyard in Golden City? Was it built and then sailed over?

He only saw distant photos of the aircraft carrier, which looked quite authentic, but he's unsure if it could rival past naval aircraft carriers on the battlefield.

Probably not; after all, that meteor shower at the end of the world sunk almost the entire world's aircraft carriers into the sea. It's unlikely that shipbuilding technology has advanced that rapidly since.

But Zheng Jinnan had his own plans. He wanted to have these people test the waters first. He even cooperated by requisitioning freighters and training troops for an amphibious assault, acting as if he's ready to advance along the Celestial River, but he has no intention of engaging his troops in battle now.

He will clash with Ye Fan, but not yet. The destruction of the First Fleet made his military actions constrained. Fortunately, where there's destruction, there's reconstruction. He has already spent heavily to craft a new fleet, which this time is genuine, not improvised from converted freighters.

Let these countrymen entangle with Ye Fan for now, let them have their disputes while he sits back and observes.

Listening to the endless discussions about whether to attack, whether to provide funding, how to execute the attack, and how much funding to give, Zheng Jinnan grew irritated and turned on the television.

Originally, it was just meant as a diversion, but soon, what was on the television caught his attention.

This is Wanguo Island TV station; over here in Jiangzhou, ten TV stations can be received, much more than the options available in Dawn City.

A beautiful female reporter stood in front of the camera, with troops continuously passing behind her.

"Dear viewers, dear viewers, this is Dawn Island TV station."

Zheng Jinnan sneered, "Just indulging in formalism, renaming Wanguo Island to Dawn Island is a declaration of sovereignty."

"The city behind me is called Kaiyuan, a county town situated north of the Celestial River."

"According to our reconnaissance intelligence, a Corpse King has appeared within Kaiyuan City, please look at the live footage."

Upon hearing this, the foreigners who were arguing fell silent and focused their eyes on the TV screen.

Corpse King, this name is too sensitive. Anyone who has faced a Corpse King knows how terrifying these creatures are.

The TV quickly showed footage.

It was footage taken by a drone.

The drone flew over the concrete jungle of the city, arriving above a horde of the undead.

This truly was a horde; all the zombies stood together like wooden stakes. That indicates they're under control; ordinary zombies don't behave this way.

Mutated birds hovered in the sky, with some flying by the drone, but they did not attack it.

Very soon, the drone reached into the heart of the horde and filmed the Corpse King.

The Corpse King looked up and saw the drone, and the drone captured her image.

This was an old woman Corpse King. Before becoming a Corpse King, she should have been over seventy.

After turning into a zombie, the old woman Corpse King was as agile as an athlete, her blood-red eyes complementing her aged face, appearing as terrifying as a menacing ghost.

Upon seeing the drone, she paused, then showed an angry expression.

She roughly comprehended what it was, let out a shrill howl, and then many mutated birds rushed at it.

The last image the drone captured was being surrounded and crashed by the mutated birds.

But it doesn't matter; it's just a machine, and it captured what needed to be captured; its mission was accomplished.

"Damn! Another Corpse King!"

"Quickly destroy it, or it might attack Jiangzhou again; Jiangzhou can't withstand another ordeal."

"Don't worry unnecessarily, Kaiyuan is north of the river and over seventeen hundred kilometers from Jiangzhou with the Great River in between; there's no way it could threaten us."

"There's no need to worry whether it threatens us or not; does Dawn Army intend to exterminate the Corpse King?"

A representative from the 'Footbath Chicken' laughed: "They truly overestimate themselves. Our Empire abandoned three large islands and moved to a small one because Corpse Kings appeared on those islands, and we had no choice but to move. With our Empire's strength, we dared not confront a Corpse King. How could Ye Fan presume to do so?"

The Shanshen Country representative agreed: "That's right, our Shanshen Country has a Corpse King too and has yet to be eradicated. Every time the Corpse King intends to move south, we must attract it north, or it's challenging for us to stand firm in the south."

The Curry Country representative concurred: "Our country also encountered a Corpse King; several survival bases were destroyed by it. Dawn Army is headed for self-humiliation."

Zheng Jinnan chuckled: "Ye Fan doesn't have much of a choice; this undead horde could cross the Jiang Bridge and directly threaten Wanguo Island. He has no option but to act."

As they continued talking, over there, Ye Luo had confirmed Dawn Army's action goal.

"Now, I have accompanied our Dawn Army to the Kaiyuan front line; everyone need not panic. Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan has already ordered Dawn Army to eliminate the Kaiyuan undead horde within three days to ensure the northern traffic routes of Dawn Island remain open."

After Ye Luo finished speaking, these people laughed heartily.

Three days, without city walls to rely on and defend, resolving a Corpse King in the center of the zombie nest, what a dream.

Everyone knows that the Corpse King's combat effectiveness in a city increases exponentially; Ye Fan is truly audacious.

The Curry Country representative coldly sneered: "If he can deal with this million-strong undead horde in three days, I'll pay ransom to retrieve captives according to their demands. But I'm afraid they lack the capacity to do so, even our superpower Curry wouldn't dare say such a thing. He's completely bluffing."

Whether it's bluffing remains unclear, but the subsequent actions of Dawn Army shocked everyone.

The artillery position already established by Dawn Army opened fire on the city's depths with deafening booms.

The continuous explosions attracted countless zombies.

Even from the direction of the old woman, large groups of previously stationary zombies began to move.

The surging tide of zombies swept down the streets like a flood, with an overwhelming momentum that seemed capable of devouring everything!

Such an action, bordering on suicidal, had Zheng Jinnan and others stunned.

Is Dawn Army planning to charge through directly?
