And with the Waterloo of the Hall of Dragons' fame, word of Hamid's exploits spread throughout Syria. It soon even spread throughout the Middle East.
Who would have thought that Hamid would be able to win two big battles in a row when the opposition forces were losing one after the other! In the eyes of others, this was like a god from heaven.
So, as soon as the day dawned in Syria, a large number of stragglers came to defect.
Immediately afterwards. There were also a few leaders of small armies, with their own ranks and formations, who defected.
The vast majority of these men had been worried that they would soon be wiped out, so after seeing Hamid's strength, they came to join him for a change. They came in droves to give themselves a chance to save their lives.
So, after only half a day, Hamid's base had incorporated over 5,000 men.
Two days later. Hamid's base had already enrolled more than eight thousand people, and the total number of people had exceeded ten thousand, so the whole base was overcrowded at once.
Hamid resolutely carried out Charlie wade's instructions, whether it was a small team of 10 people or a large team of 1,000 people, as long as they came to join him, the team had to be broken up and put under the leadership of his men.
Moreover, apart from some old comrades who knew their roots, the rest of them. Almost all of them were temporarily disarmed by his soldiers.
The number of soldiers disarmed was five thousand.
And these five thousand men were all incorporated into a temporary engineering unit, following the construction workers as they continued to open up the mountain.
When automated equipment was not enough, the men used hammers and human wheelbarrows to transport the rubble out.
The main reason for having so many people digging together was that there were simply too many of them. A large number of backslope trenches had to be built in a hurry to ensure that the men had a safe shelter.
Even though they were disarmed, they didn't care at all, they just wanted to dig more trenches as soon as possible so that they could have a place to stay.
Almost all of the 8,000 men who had come to join us were armed and equipped, but the rations they had brought with them were not much. On average, they could only last three or five days, but fortunately Hamid himself had enough strategic reserves, and he had enough food to feed two or three thousand men for two or three years, or even ten thousand men for more than a year.
Moreover, he had purchased large quantities of food from traders in neighbouring countries. This food was being transported by land from the north around the clock.
Charlie wade was relieved to hear that he had so many men.
But just as Hamid's men were expanding several times over and going full steam ahead with their infrastructure, 50 million Dragon Temple soldiers meandered back into northern Syria. Fifty kilometres north of Hamid's base, Hamid was cut off from the north by land.
Hundreds of trucks transporting food to Hamid sent less than thirty in. The rest were all stopped.
Then, Jerold led 50 million soldiers from the Dragon Palace to cut off Hamid's land traffic from the south, followed by another 5,000 soldiers from the Dragon Palace, who seized several highlands around Hamid's base and then also began to build fortifications, as if to surround Hamid to death.
By the time Hamid received the news, it was too late.
The soldiers of the Hall of Ten Thousand Dragons had already completed their formation, and if he ventured to break out, he would definitely encounter a powerful attack.
When he reported this matter to Charlie wade, Charlie wade said blandly: "You don't need to worry about this matter for the time being, the cost of their mercenary wages is very high, 10,000 to 20,000 men besieging you in Syria, the military cost for one day may cost several tens of millions of dollars, if it really takes a year, I believe they simply can't stand it, what's more, if they still can't take it down in a year, they are even more disgraced, continuing to spend there is not enough They will definitely retreat by then."
Saying that, Charlie wade instructed again, "Anyway, your current strategic reserve is enough to sustain you for a year, so you don't need to care how they surround you, the most important thing you have to do now is two things, one is to continue to do your infrastructure and strengthen your mountain fortifications, the other is to fight with twelve points, absolutely do not let them have the opportunity to launch a decapitation operation!"
Hamid said, "Honestly, I'm not worried about any of this, but my only worry is that you said you're going to bring that Banks back to China in a few days. How am I going to send him out?"
