Has Jinling been taken down?
No.
But the Huaxia Army did enter Jinling City with the posture of victors.
In a word, as if it was already conquered.
Chen Jian realized that in this post-apocalyptic wasteland, expanding one's power might not necessarily require clashing with old forces; sometimes, making an example works just as well.
Just look now, after crushing the army of Huadu in an instant, have the people from the Mechanical God Sect and the Holy Blood Temple not become much more obedient?
Though it wasn't to the extent of lining up to welcome them with clean water and flowers, they indeed had a smooth journey, with every Guard Brigade soldier in the city saluting Chen Jian's 8-member squad with their upheld etiquette.
Compared to the decay of those high-ups, these frontline fighters clearly understood more about gratitude.
