Entering Bear Country!

Three days later.

The army belonging to South Korea has arrived at Uvs Lake.

Just a little further ahead, we'll be within the territory of the Bear Country.

Kim Geun-seok rubbed his hands vigorously to ward off the chill.

The closer you get to the territory of the Russian Bear, the colder you feel.

"Gentlemen, how are things going with your men?" Kim Geun-seok asked over the radio from his command vehicle.

"Not bad, I've gotten used to it along the way!" Choi Tae-won said with a smile in the channel.

"Don't worry, Young Master Kim, I can still manage my own Lee family members." Lee Jae-yong's voice was also very calm.

"I've brainwashed my subordinates from the moment they joined the company. They're not afraid of hardship or fatigue, so what's a little distance?"

Kim Geun-seok nodded in satisfaction.

This was something he was quite pleased about throughout the journey.

The Challengers have certainly maintained a good fighting spirit.

After all, this Instance challenge can be considered the largest Battle in the history of the entire South Korea Settlement.

"Alright! Now that we've come this far, I, Kim Geun-seok, will make my point clear." Kim Geun-seok continued over the radio.

"Although the Four Great Families have always been in competition, it has only been business friction. In the end, we are all fighting for South Korea. If the South Korea Settlement collapses, it will not benefit any of us."

"Therefore, I hope the three bosses can put aside their prejudices. As long as we conquer this 'Winter Is Coming' challenge, everyone can obtain the top-tier technology from the Lin Ye Instance. No one will lose out."

Laughter from the three CEOs soon filled the channel.

"Young Master Kim, you're joking too much. Are you afraid we'll harm you in the Instance?"

"We know how to handle these things. Even if we have a problem with you Young Master Kim, we'll discuss it after we leave the Instance."

"Compared to hating Young Master Kim, we actually hate Lin Ye even more. I wish I could slap that bastard Lin Ye across the face right now!"

Whether the three of them truly meant what they said, Kim Geun-seok had no idea. But since he had already said all that, he knew these three weren't fools and could make their own judgments.

"Excellent! Now let's march on the Bear Country!"

Kim Geun-seok issued orders directly to the entire army via radio.

"There is only one objective: capture Moscow! Annihilate Lin Ye!"

The 50,000-strong Land Warfare corps was full of confidence and high morale, shouting slogans amidst their Military Ordnance.

"Annihilate Lin Ye!"

"Annihilate Lin Ye!"

"Annihilate Lin Ye!"

The Kim 7V Tank, like Iron Behemoth, led the way, breaking through the boundaries first.

Goryeo Cannons followed closely behind, their booming sounds echoing across the sky, demonstrating their immense power.

The Choi 9 Howitzer Vehicle, like a precision striker on the battlefield, steadily followed the main force, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment.

The Lee 3B Armored Motorcycle, like a nimble dancer, moves freely across the battlefield with extremely high mobility, providing protection on both flanks.

Park Family Goryeo Steel Excavators were not to be outdone, emitting a deep, rumbling sound as they drove, which was quite unsettling.

All sorts of steel monsters merged into a large procession and squeezed directly into the territory of the Bear Country.

The earth seemed to tremble under their weight, and the air vibrated from their roar!

But his coolness only lasted a second.

The moment Kim Geun-seok stepped into Bear Country territory, he sensed something was amiss.

An indescribable chill enveloped the interior of his communications vehicle.

Actually, Kim Geun-seok already felt very cold in Malaysia, but it was still bearable.

The cold was now unbearable for him.

The biting cold seemed to crawl and roll down his spine, and his limbs became completely unresponsive.

"Wh... what the hell?!"

"This... this is way too... too cold!"

He was so cold his teeth chattered, and he could barely speak. As he drove the communications vehicle, he felt as if the vehicle itself was bound by the severe cold, and its speed was abnormally slow.

The vehicle's tracks seemed frozen solid.

Kim Geun-seok took a deep breath, mustered his courage, opened the car door, and wanted to get out and investigate.

However, the moment he opened the car door, the scene before him completely stunned him.

A vast expanse of ice and snow unfolded before his eyes, as if he had entered another world.

A violent blizzard swept in, the overwhelming snow obscuring all his vision. The world was covered in endless white, cold and desolate.

Under such extreme cold, Kim Geun-seok even felt his blood stop flowing, and hallucinations began to appear in his mind.

He quickly shrank into the communications vehicle, panting heavily.

At the same time, the notification sound from the Firmament also rang in my ears:

[Firmament Notification: In the Dungeon Designer Lin Ye's design, the temperature in the Bear Country is -75 degrees Celsius! Challengers, please prepare for battle in snowy conditions!]

[Furthermore, the Challengers's invasion has alarmed the Bear Country; the Russian Bear's Steel Torrent is about to strike!]

-75 degrees Celsius?

"Are you kidding me?"

"How could there be such a stupid setting?!"

Kim Geun-seok was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Not to mention that the driving speed would be greatly reduced in this temperature, there was no way they could reach Moscow in the remaining few days.

Moreover, this temperature is not one that the Koreans can adapt to, which would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

At the same time, angry curses from several other family heads could be heard over the communication channel.

"Damn it! It's so damn cold! In this kind of weather, my Choi family's motorcycle army can't move at all."

Choi Tae-won was clearly the most furious one.

His motorcycle army is a light cavalry unit. How can those things operate in this freezing weather? They'll probably freeze to death!

"At this temperature, even an excavator can't operate well, and I just checked, it's all ice, there's no way we can dig it up!" Park Jeong-yong also complained.

"Young Master Kim! This is wrong of you!" Lee Jae-yong roared in the Communication System.

"You've already cleared the Instance twice, didn't you know that was the system's setting? Why didn't you remind us?"

"In this kind of environment, the shells on my Lee family's artillery vehicles would probably freeze solid! If we had known this would happen, we should have designed them to be snowproof and cold-weather resistant!"

Kim Geun-seok is absolutely disgusting.

He really has no excuse for this, after all, he was the Commander-in-Chief, and he must bear responsibility for such an incident.

Moreover, the weather in Bear Country, as Firmament, served as a warning to all Challengers from the very beginning.

However, the first Instance was Aerial Warfare, while the second Instance didn't even take us to Bear Country.

He truly hadn't expected the ground temperature in Bear Country to be this cold...
