The ten transport planes from Anze City completely dashed War Hammer's hopes of counterattacking. After weighing the pros and cons, Kang Dinghuang finally notified Roumani to withdraw his troops.

This was an extremely reluctant decision. The armed forces led by Lao Li's team were almost entirely in the city. War Hammer's twenty thousand men simply couldn't break through.

As for reinforcements, the rebel army's march to Bana City was too long. If ground troops were mobilized for support, they would inevitably be blocked by the Sri Lankan Charker army and the Third Division. If air support was used, War Hammer had no airport, nor any absolutely secure military-controlled area, so air units couldn't land.

If they continued fighting, as long as the Sri Lankan Charker army, or Lao Mo's official army, mobilized even just two regiments to the south, they could cooperate with the armed forces inside Bana City to wipe out War Hammer's troops.

This was why Kang Dinghuang repeatedly opposed using Bana City as the strategic core. The march was too long, and the real combat power of a rebel army with soldiers, cannons, and a substantial force simply couldn't reach this far.

Withdrawal was the only option. There was no choice!

...

After War Hammer's troops withdrew, Bana City, ravaged by war, finally ushered in peace. But there were still many things for Su Tianyu to do.

Inside the city.

After chatting with Bruna and Bo Ang for half an hour, Su Tianyu immediately summoned Xin Xiaodong and others for a meeting.

Inside the administrative building in Bana City, the symbol of supreme power, Su Tianyu chose a room with a slightly less pungent smell of blood and softly introduced, "Commander of the Huagonghui mercenary group, Wang Xiao, First Regiment Commander of the Third Division, Xin Xiaodong."

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two immediately shook hands in greeting. Su Tiannan, who was sitting next to them, chimed in, "Sixth, if you have anything, talk directly to Commander Wang! He's the head of our armed forces."

Wang Xiao was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and large, with a stern face and a buzz cut. He sat there ramrod straight, and you could tell at a glance that he had been a soldier.

"Okay!"

Su Tianyu nodded, placing his hands on the table. "We've taken Bana City, but we have two urgent issues to address!"

Everyone was quiet.

"First, internal stability. Here's what I'm thinking: we need to communicate with the Sori sailors immediately and have them pull their troops out of the city, beyond the canal line. These guys will side with whoever pays them. We pay them, and they'll fight for us. Someone else pays them, and they're just as likely to rebel." Su Tianyu turned to look at Su Tiannan. "You handle the communication."

"They were hired by the Huaxia District. Wouldn't it be easier to have someone from there go?" Su Tiannan asked.

"No, you go as the representative of the Third Division and the Huagonghui's armed forces." Su Tianyu waved his hand. "It cost the Huaxia District money to bring them here, but there's no subordinate relationship between the two sides. Military matters should be handled by military personnel."

"Okay!" Su Tiannan nodded.

Su Tianyu turned to look at Xin Xiaodong and Wang Xiao again. "Each of your two units will control the main roads in the city. For now, don't lift the restrictions; continue to limit the activities of city residents. But remember, the troops must wear the Bana City Blackwater Legion armbands! We're here to help the Bernardo family, to help the city's official army maintain stability, not for any other reason, so we must not overstep our bounds."

"Hmm, that makes sense!" Wang Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

"The Blackwater Legion should be the ones to clean up the remaining rebels. If they kill people, it's an internal conflict, but if we fire, it's an invasion. But we must play a supervisory role." Su Tianyu continued, "I've already spoken with Bruna. Her people will lead a Blackwater Legion squad to conduct searches in the city. We'll send ten to twenty officers to accompany them. You guys discuss the numbers."

"Okay!" Xin Xiaodong nodded.

Su Tianyu frowned slightly. "While maintaining internal stability, we must also prevent external forces from causing trouble. There are still too few troops in the city. Next, I plan to transfer two more regiments from the Third Division to this side to protect the safety of the outer defense zone."

Wang Xiao paused for a moment. "Just transferring people from the Third Division?"

Su Tianyu naturally understood what he meant. "Of course! The Third Division was the first to enter the city, and the Third Division was the one to take the administrative building! They are a trustworthy force!"

Xin Xiaodong immediately revealed a smug expression when he heard this.

Wang Xiao glanced at Su Tiannan, but ultimately remained silent!

What did Su Tianyu's words mean?! The absolute main force in the attack on Bana City came from Lao Li's team, and he, Gou Liuzi himself, planned the whole thing. So, regarding the new military deployment in the city, none of you need to say anything. I alone will decide.

Dividing the cake is inevitable, but the priorities must be clear.

"Alright, that's it. Everyone, get moving." Su Tianyu looked down at his watch. "Let's stabilize the inside and outside, then we'll talk about the issue of the Bernardo family's new leader."

Xin Xiaodong immediately stood up, saluted, and shouted, "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Seeing how much this guy was sucking up, Wang Xiao also stood up and said, "Our Huagonghui mercenary group will do our best."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Su Tianyu nodded to him, smiling and waving his hand. "Alright, dismissed!"

The decision-makers left one after another. Xin Xiaodong was immediately surrounded as soon as he stepped out the door.

"Regiment Commander, this time we're really taking off, right? We've taken Bana City, and our Third Division will definitely be the main garrison force!"

"Yeah! Damn, leaving Tan Hengqiang was the right move!! We've got our own territory now!"

"Following Sixth Brother doesn't just mean getting beat up! We actually get to eat meat too!"

"……!"

A group of people chattered on and on. Xin Xiaodong modestly waved his hand. "Hurry up and get to work! Stop gossiping! There are so many people in the city, the cake hasn't been divided yet. No discussions allowed!"

...

Ten minutes later, on the first floor of the administrative building.

Wu Han, who had flown over from the Gala region, followed behind Jiang Zhou and weakly asked, "Should I change my identity too? Get a fake name or something."

"You don't need to! You're playing the role of a stabilizing force, playing a big shot." Jiang Zhou said softly, "From now on, you represent the hometown!"

"Oh!" Wu Han nodded. "Just be open about it, then."

"That's right!"

As the two were talking, Su Tianyu came to greet them from the direction of the stairs. "Big Brother, we've taken everything!"

"Hey, I'm not Big Brother anymore." Jiang Zhou replied with a smile. "Let me introduce you to the big shot who suppressed the Gala armed forces and got the Sori sailors to turn their guns around!"

Wu Han grinned and stepped forward, blurting out, "Hello, my name is Jiang Han..."

"Shua!"

Jiang Zhou immediately looked at him.

"Oh, oh no!! I misspoke, my name is Wu Han! Hello, Tianyu!" Wu Han extended his hand.

Su Tianyu glanced at the two who were acting so nervously. "Hehe, it's okay. My Big Brother Jiang Zhou often misremembers names too...!"
