The most important thing about this operation was to be careful. Zhao Fu was not in a rush and continued to only attack one region per day. He attacked the western side, then attacked the southern side, and alternated like this. Great Qin continued to publicly face off against the eastern side, making it seem like there was gunpowder in the air between the two sides.
Neither side showed any weakness and seemed incredibly confident in their righteousness, ferociously criticizing the other side.
After seven or eight days, people started to notice that entire regions seemed to just disappear overnight. This happened completely soundlessly, and millions of people seemed to have just vanished.
However, there were very few people who knew about this, and not much attention was drawn to this matter. A few days later, Great Qin successfully rose to a Level 5 Capital City.
