Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After being rejected, the Lanxi people made several more attempts.

Because the people of Lanxi believe that people like Fang Borong, Li Siyuan, Zhao Jin, and Wu Zhengshan, who have done all sorts of bad things, must prioritize their own interests above all else.

As for the kind of national righteousness and the awareness of never being a traitor, it is unlikely to be found in people like Fang Borong, Li Siyuan, Zhao Jin, and Wu Zhengshan.

Therefore, the Lanxi people regarded Fang Borong and others' refusal as a means to gain greater benefits.

Anyway, deep down they didn't believe that the Four Heavenly Kings of the South, these big devils who almost monopolized the underground businesses of drug trafficking, smuggling, and human trafficking in the entire southern region of Qianzhou, would refuse readily available benefits out of patriotism.

In order to win over the four southern kings and cultivate them into a ready-made puppet army, the Xiluo people offered them very "sincere" conditions this time.

Furthermore, the Lanxi people even promised Fang Borong and others that as long as the Four Heavenly Kings of the South agreed to their cooperation conditions.

They can transform Fang Borong and his ilk from underground tyrants in the southern part of Qianzhou into real kings who can be seen in the light of day!

Whether they were drawing inspiration from the Great Qian Empire's past practices or not, the Lanxi people actually offered a condition—granting Fang Borong, Li Siyuan, Zhao Jin, and Wu Zhengshan official status.

The Lanxi people claim that this matter has been agreed upon within the Anti-Gan Alliance.

As long as Fang Borong and others are willing, they can choose the colonies in the southern part of Qianzhou themselves.

Each person was given a fiefdom and made a king! They could choose whether their fiefdoms existed as dependent city-states or as independent kingdoms.

The original territories remained unchanged, all the underground rules remained unchanged, and the Lanxi people even gave Fang Borong and others an opportunity to establish their own kingdom.

If Fang Borong and others agree to cooperate.

Therefore, the six southern kingdoms of Qianzhou will likely become ten southern kingdoms.

Moreover, this was only one of the conditions offered by the Lanxi people to Fang Borong and the others.

To be frank, the amount of money the foreigners are offering this time is absolutely generous.

This also demonstrates, from another perspective, that the Western Luo kingdoms truly went to great lengths to deal with the Great Qian Zhenguo Army...

Unexpectedly, despite this "sincere" and even subsidized support, some people actually refused to buy it!

After numerous negotiations failed to change the final decision of the Four Heavenly Kings of the South, the Lanxi people finally had to accept reality.

Their supposedly foolproof collaboration was repeatedly proven wrong.

However, the Lanxi people also made two preparations this time.

According to the plan made by the Anti-Qian Alliance at the joint meeting, the Lansi people secretly sent no less than 100,000 foreign troops to the Puwa region.

The Anti-Qian Alliance attaches great importance to the Kingdom of Puwa, which borders directly to the Daqian mainland.

Therefore, after being rejected, the Lanxi people quickly took military action against Fang Borong, Li Siyuan, Zhao Jin, and Wu Zhengshan, who were "ungrateful for kindness".

Clearly, the Lanxi people's military preparations this time were quite thorough.

The foreign legion deployed to the Pui region consisted of battle-hardened elites, and they were the most active military force in Lansey's expansion of overseas colonies.

This assignment to the Pwa region carries a very important strategic mission.

Along with the Lanxi Foreign Legion, a large amount of heavy weaponry and equipment—aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, armored vehicles, and more—entered the Puwa region!

However, Fang Borong and others, lacking a proper understanding of the impressive lineup that the Lanxi people had deployed in the Puwa region, did not take the Lanxi people's previous threats during cooperation talks too seriously.

Because, after Fang Borong, Li Siyuan, Zhao Jin, and Wu Zhengshan discussed it carefully.

The conclusion was that even though the Lansi people had deployed a large number of troops to the Puwa region, they were still able to handle the situation with ease.

After all, the Pwa region is covered with jungles and is mostly mountainous.

Their troops had long since adapted to the complex environment here.

Even if a fight really breaks out, it's uncertain who will suffer the most!

Therefore, Fang Borong and others analyzed that there was nothing to be afraid of!

Making the Four Heavenly Kings of the South suffer in southern Qianzhou won't be so easy...

However, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The necessary military deployments and preparations still need to be made.

Therefore, while negotiating with the Lanxi people, Fang Borong and others also made what they considered to be quite comprehensive military deployments.

However, facing the Blue West, arguably the most elite foreign legion, Fang Borong and his group's preconceived underestimation of the enemy was destined to have serious consequences.

And indeed, that was the case—Fang Borong and his associates, who failed to give due attention to the foreign legion of the Lanxi people, immediately suffered the consequences.

The Lanxi people's retaliatory action this time was swift and decisive.

The negotiations with Fang Borong and others broke down the day after they were announced to be taking place the following day.

The Blue West bomber squadron flew to Fang Borong and his men's stronghold and carried out a very heavy and intensive bombing raid.....................

A large number of petrol bombs turned Fang Borong and his gang's stronghold into an inferno.

Moreover, the Lanxi people launched more than one air raid.

After several rounds of air raids, the Lanxi people's heavy artillery carried out a full three hours of continuous bombardment.

This fighting style is somewhat reminiscent of the Zhenguo Army of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Then, the Blue West's armored forces swiftly and unexpectedly raided the stronghold of the Four Heavenly Kings of the South.

The entire operation perfectly demonstrated the power of fire suppression and rapid, blitzkrieg surprise attack.

The Blue West people have the entire continent of Xiluo behind them, and such a strong backing makes the Blue West people's foreign legion even more powerful.

They don't have to worry about ammunition consumption or logistical supply issues at all.

They also experienced the "arrogant" fighting style of the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

This shows that the war potential unleashed by the Western Luo Continent, united as one by the Great Qian Zhenguo Army, is quite terrifying.

Previously, Fang Borong and others were able to run rampant in the southern part of Qianzhou because the Western Luo Kingdoms were too far away and their military deployment in the southern part of Qianzhou was weak.

The colonial tactics employed involved stationing a small number of troops and then supporting local puppet forces to help them maintain their colonial rule.

Moreover, the Western Luo kingdoms had not paid much attention to the southern region of Qianzhou before, and the troops stationed there were their second-line forces.

This gave Fang Borong and others the opportunity to become kings and tyrants.

This is the main reason why the remnants of Fang Borong's army, whose fighting strength was actually quite weak, suddenly became much stronger after arriving in Puwa.

The mountainous and jungle terrain, which facilitates guerrilla warfare, is certainly an important factor.

The fundamental reason for this is that the Western Luo states have weak military deployments and insufficient attention to the southern region of Qianzhou.

Otherwise, even with the natural advantage of the combat environment, it would be unlikely that Fang Borong and his group could have built such a large underground force in southern Qianzhou.

This time, Fang Borong and his group witnessed firsthand the true combat power of the foreigners' regular armed forces.

In less than a week, Fang Borong and his men lost more than 20,000 men!

Based on the Western Luo people's fighting style, their 100,000 men would probably be wiped out in less than a month.

But this time they didn't make a mistake.

They decisively joined forces to seek help from the capital, and also jointly wrote a sincere letter to Shen Moshen requesting assistance.

As it turns out, their decision was another incredibly correct one, following their decision to lead their troops abroad to make their way in the world!
