Chapter 627 - 620 It’s Hard Just Walking
The decapitation strike was a success, complete, thorough, and without any discount.
The cost was high, but the fruits were even more substantial. Facing an opponent with superiority in every aspect and without damaging the enemy’s overall strength, we managed to wipe out their command structure in one fell swoop and secured the Ark of the Covenant; both strategic objectives were fully achieved. This is what being thoroughly victorious means.
Moreover, it now seems that we have an even greater victory at hand. The Sanitation Workers had over a hundred thousand troops in Djibouti, which is their core base camp, their logistics base. But now, Djibouti will inevitably change hands.
The core cohesion of the Sanitation Workers and the Graycloaks is faith, the belief in the Celestials. Even if the Sanitation Workers deceive themselves, treating the Serpent People as Celestials to maintain their core cohesion, as soon as Gao Yuan and Xinghe appear, the Sanitation Workers will undoubtedly face a crisis of faith collapse.
That is to say, Xinghe can easily take over most of the Sanitation Workers’ strength without difficulty.
Not being able to maintain rule with faith is the biggest crisis for the Sanitation Workers, and it is a crisis without any solution.
Therefore, as long as we win the battle of Djibouti, then the Sanitation Workers should no longer be a problem, at least not a major one.
After all, having lost both of their footholds in Africa, even without a crisis of faith, the Sanitation Workers would find it very difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Solar System again.
We have won, but Ram could not feel any joy.
When he told Gao Yuan that the battle was over, Ram seemed very downcast. Watching Xinghe carrying Larry down from the tank, while the enemy’s tanks went silent and the infantry surrendered their arms, Ram tossed his cigarette to the ground. But he immediately bent down to pick it up, then yelled at Xinghe, "Have him order an end to the electronic jamming right away, as well as their communicators, and the Serpent People’s communicators, we must take control immediately!"
