Chapter 1033 - Finally Taking Action (1/2)

“What happened? Why do you look so panicked?” Jiang Fei continued to eat while he smiled and asked.

“The military has taken action against the Martial Arts Alliance!” Han Tianyu’s words caused Jiang Fei to drop the bread in his hand.

“Tell me the details!” Jiang Fei pushed the plate of food aside as a serious expression formed on his face.

“Here’s what happened…” Han Tianyu began to explain in detail.

When Jiang Fei was in deep thought for half a month, the entire country of China was in a state of chaos. The Chinese military had finally made an important breakthrough with the Supreme Androids and decided to take action against the Martial Arts Alliance.

On the third day, while Jiang Fei was in deep thought, the military had sent a large number of Androids to invade the territories of influence of each of the big sects. In an organized manner, they began to drive the martial artists away from these areas back into their own bases.

In the beginning, the martial artists attempted to fight back. However, the Androids had an absolute advantage in numbers and they were no match for them. Moreover, after the war in Tokyo, the martial artists were greatly affected. Although Jiang Fei’s potions had allowed the higher-tier martial artists to increase their powers, the lower-tier disciples needed more time to recover.

The badly injured martial artists were unwilling to fight with their lives against the Androids. After all, the martial artists’ lives were very precious. Meanwhile, even if the Androids could be killed in battle, they could be easily fixed before returning to the battlefield.

Therefore, within the span of ten days, the martial artists had been contained in their own bases. More Android soldiers began appearing on the frontlines. With their absolute advantage in numbers, they were forcing the martial artists to stay within their own bases.

However, the Android soldiers were not entirely aggressive. As long as the martial artists did not resist, they would not do anything extreme. Their only objective was to keep the martial artists within their own bases.

This was in part due to the military’s tactics. They hoped to exert pressure on the martial artists so that they would choose to either surrender or leave. If the martial artists surrendered, the military could strengthen the country’s battle power.

If the martial artists chose to leave, the country would be spared from dealing with a bunch of rebels. After all, the government was tired of trying to control a bunch of lawless fellows.

Previously, the military did not have enough power to oppress the martial artists. That was why the martial artists were able to do as they wished. However, things were different now. The Supreme Androids’ technological progress had allowed the military to expand their powers greatly. Therefore, the lawless martial artists became the country’s primary target to expel.

The military was taking a gentler approach against these martial artists who lived in the mountains. Instead of killing them harshly, the military was only limiting their area of mobility. The military was doing this to coerce the Martial Arts Alliance into surrendering. They were also worried that the martial artists would panic and take drastic measures if they felt too pressured.

As the governing party, the military wanted to ensure peace in society. Naturally, the martial artists who did not subscribe to rules of law were the primary cause of instability in society. However, if the military placed too much pressure on them, they might take drastic measures such as terrorizing normal civilians. They would be able to deal much more damage than the military or the government would allow.

Therefore, the military was only trying to limit the martial artists’ area of mobility so that they saw how strong the government had become. Many of the weaker sects would automatically surrender to the government while the more stubborn and bigger sects would choose to move away. As such, the military would be able to resolve the issues surrounding the martial artists peacefully.
