War and Peace
This allocation of Challengers was naturally the result of secret planning and discussion among Park Seong-man and others.
Given the massive scale of five million Challengers, it's natural to adopt a decentralized operational model; it's simply impossible for them all to be crammed together.
Several "countries" located in different areas could easily advance together to encircle and annihilate the Bear Country.
This left the Bear Country unable to defend itself from both ends, besieged on all sides, and ultimately led to its complete disintegration.
This kind of operation doesn't actually require much discussion; anyone with a basic understanding of military affairs would make this choice.
It must be said that Instance with a scale of five million has given the Challengers Faction endless possibilities in terms of tactical deployment.
Moreover, by occupying all four Spawn Points, this approach can leverage the advantages of each of the three Settlements.
The Nirmaner Settlements are the kings of Land Warfare, so choosing the Tank Country is perfectly fine; they can easily advance unimpeded.
The Dahe Settlement's choice of Eastern Ocean Island their settlement location was also the best option for Naval Warfare.
As Spawn Point Stick Country, which is located near Dragon Country, Land Warfare is not an option due to its proximity to China, making Aerial Warfare the only solution.
As for the Malaysia chosen by Kim Geun-seok and others, their greater purpose is actually to carry out land harassment... Now that Goryeo's Strong Clan Plan has been exposed, it should at least be allowed to play a role.
After the Spawn Points were selected, the Firmament began to drop each Challengers into their respective locations.
In the blink of an eye, Park Seong-man was sitting in the presidential seat of the Black House in Stick Country.
Kim Geun-seok, Choi Tae-won, and the others were teleported directly to an Ulaanbaatar yurt filled with the smell of horse manure, just like last time.
Xiaochuan and Yamamoto Sanjūhachi returned to the Imperial Garden Pavilion of Pines the Eastern Ocean Island Garden of Edo, Kyoto.
Xi'er and his Three Great Generals were born in the Prime Minister's Office of the Tank Country!
[Firmament Notification: The system has detected that some players have entered the Winter Is Coming Instance multiple times in this Instance, triggering a special buff: Russian Bear's Wrath!]
[After accumulating the Russian Bear's Wrath BUFF multiple times, it will trigger unknown possibilities and a series of special treatments from the Bear Country during the Instance run... Challengers, please proceed with caution.]
Of the five million people, 50,000 were Koreans who had repeatedly entered the Russian Bear's Wrath Instance, some for the second time and some for the third time. They were all immediately given debuffs.
Especially Kim Geun-seok, whose body was now emitting a blood-red glow, which was quite dazzling, making him look like a blood-soaked person.
This is Kim Geun-seok's fourth time entering the Instance. If he fails this Instance, he will have 16 times the points deducted...
However, most people entering this Instance are Instance for the first time, so the "Russian Bear's Wrath" buff can basically be ignored.
Welcome, Challengers, to the Instance designed by Lin Ye: Winter Is Coming!
[This Instance is complex and quite difficult, so Firmament will provide all Challengers with a detailed explanation of its mechanics.]
[The Firmament has detected that Challengers have chosen different Spawn Points, and the Instance will now activate a "self-management" mechanism. Within the Instance, there will be a shared Instance Backend system, while each nation/faction will have its own independent player count and Challengers management system!]
As the Firmament began to display its introduction, a large virtual menu appeared before all the Challengers.
[Number of players in the Instance: 5,000,000/5,000,000]
[Number of Tank Country: 2,000,000/2,000,000]
[Stick Country's population: 1,000,000/1,000,000]
[Number of people in Eastern Ocean Island: 1,500,000/1,500,000]
[Malaysia: 500,000/500,000]
It must be said that this statistical method is very scientific, making it convenient for various countries to manage, and also allowing Challengers to know who is dragging the team down!
[Firmament Notification: Different Spawn Points will assign different Instance commanders.]
[Due to the large number of Instance in this instance, the Firmament will directly assign the Instance commander based on the Challengers's level!]
[The commander for the Tank Country Instance is designated as: Adolf Schiller!]
[The designated commander for the Stick Country Instance is: Park Seong-man!]
[The commander for the Eastern Ocean Island Instance is designated as: Xiaochuan!]
[The commander for the Malaysia Instance has been designated as: Kim Geun-seok!]
[Now, please have the four commanders vote on the designated Instance battle mode. The Firmament will tally the votes to determine the specific Instance mode.]
Commanders, please choose from the following four modes: Aerial Warfare, Land Warfare, Naval Warfare, or Total War.
Despite the orderly operation of the Instance, the Livestream Room was still buzzing with discussion.
Many people have noticed the same thing.
That is... it all seems like something Lin Ye had planned in advance.
Whether it's the choice of four Spawn Points or the setting of this custom mode, it all gives people the same feeling.
That's exactly what the "Winter Is Coming" Instance should look like now!
How could such a large-scale Instance be carried out so smoothly without prior planning?
If it were a normal Instance, and the Challengers were suddenly given a 100-fold power boost, there should have been many bugs.
[Wow! So many new things! Whether it's this custom mode or the commander voting, these are things I've never seen in other Instance!]
[Regardless, God Ye's Instance design skills are truly undeniable.]
[They give the impression of being completely calm and composed, as if they have everything under control.]
[Brothers, I suddenly have faith in God Ye again...]
Actually, the vote is not very meaningful, because this is a team attack, and everyone will definitely reach a consensus.
To ensure all three Settlements reach their full potential, the Total War Mode is the obvious choice.
"Stick Country chooses Total War Mode!"
"Eastern Ocean Island selects Total War Mode!"
"Malaysia, Total War Mode!"
"The Tank Country, Total War!"
[Firmament Notification: Following a vote by the Instance commanders, this Instance will now be conducted in Total War Mode!]
Total War is a highly free war mode that gives Challengers an incredibly realistic open world. Instance, sea, and air weapons are freely available in the dungeons! Furthermore, Challengers' movement patterns will be completely unrestricted! Challengers can freely arrange their own tactics.
[In Total War Mode, there is no time limit for Instance; Challengers are free to decide when to attack.]
The specific task details are as follows:
[Mission 1 (War): (Phase 1) Capture any one of the three main cities of the Bear Country: Volgograd, Saint Petersburg, or Moscow.]
[500 points awarded for successful mission! 800 points deducted for mission failure!]
[Task 2 (Peace): Within half an hour of the Instance opening, declare your submission to the Bear Country and hand over all your personal skills to Bear Country! 20 points will be deducted!]
