When Disaster Strikes, Everyone Flees for Themselves!
In an instant, Vladivostok seemed to be swept into an apocalypse.
The ocean turned into a sea of fire, and the sky was plunged into eternal night!
The reason why the Borei is the Borei and a vital national asset of the Bear Country is certainly not just because of these sneak attack tactics.
When the wind god is enraged, everything vanishes in a flick of his finger!
These nuclear-tipped missiles are the true strength of the Type 955 nuclear submarine.
Every nuclear submarine actually has the potential to destroy an entire continent!
This is also the strategic essence of nuclear submarines: they remain hidden during normal times, but once they surface, they deliver a fatal blow.
However, in Lin Ye's vision of the Bear Country, these nuclear weapons represent a country's highest-level military resources.
The nuclear submarine was maneuvering repeatedly in an attempt to buy time and minimize the Challengers's damage to Vladivostok.
Each nuclear submarine carries only one missile with a nuclear warhead, so the opportunity is only available once.
Since we're going to open fire, we must wait until it's time for a fatal blow!
When the entire Russian Bear arrives and can help clean up the mess, it will be enough to completely annihilate the invaders.
At the same time, it was also to minimize the impact of the nuclear explosion on their own people while waiting for the Challengers to get further away from Vladivostok.
Feeling the violent tremors, Park Seong-man's "Canary" fighter jet was almost out of control, and he tried his best to adjust the aircraft based on his ample experience.
He was fortunate to be far enough away from the epicenter of the nuclear warhead's explosion to barely survive the blast.
But the intense nuclear radiation still penetrated his fighter jet, Park Seong-man felt his body rapidly decaying, his skin aching unbearably all over.
One eye was directly burned and blinded because it came into contact with the blast's light.
"Ahh!"
Park Seong-man screamed and subconsciously glanced at the data statistics in the Instance Backend.
[Number of players in the Instance: 4,500,000/5,000,000]
[Malaysia: 500,000/500,000]
[Tank Country: 2,000,000/2,000,000]
[Eastern Ocean Island: 1,200,000/1,500,000]
[Stick Country: 800,000/1,000,000]
Under this nuclear explosion, the 300,000 Challengers on the Eastern Ocean Island and the 200,000 Challengers on their side were instantly vaporized.
Of the 500,000 fighter jets they brought with them, more than half were lost overnight!
That adds up to... 500,000 people!! Just like that, crushed to ashes in the blink of an eye by 10 submarines?!
One in ten Instance Challengers have already perished!
This is even when the Challengers initiates the attack.
Despite having the upper hand and a numerical advantage, they couldn't even withstand a single move from their opponent and were crippled in half.
While watching the Raging Waves, Park Seong-man also witnessed the "Shorties" Atomic Bomb that the Eagle Sauce dropped on Edo City.
At the time, he was simply amazed and couldn't believe that such a domineering weapon existed in the world!
However, in the previous three attempts to Winter Is Coming Instance, neither the Aerial Warfare nor Naval Warfare involved the use of nuclear weapons.
Therefore, Park Seong-man and the others lowered their guard.
But watching a battle is just watching; experiencing it firsthand, the despair and oppression of a nuclear explosion, is something Park Seong-man has never felt before.
Powerless, deeply powerless.
Just before the attack, Park Seong-man was incredibly arrogant; now, he was just as desperate.
In terms of destructive power, the nuclear bomb launched from this submarine cannot compare to the Shorties dropped on the Eastern Ocean Islands.
To ensure the submarine's flexibility and portability, the yield of the nuclear weapons it carries will not be too large.
Even so, their destructive power is still deadly enough.
Moreover, this offensive tactic of submarines also proves that the nuclear technology Lin Ye possesses is not the kind that can only be deployed in a fixed location, but rather a highly flexible and precise strike capability!
It can even be controlled to cause damage only within a certain range.
Regardless of what other trump cards Bear Country has, its nuclear arsenal alone is enough to give Challengers a hard time.
Park Seong-man could already see the faint outline of the Bear Country fleet on the distant sea. Next, various Bear Country legions would arrive, and their combat strength would be further enhanced.
Even if the stalemate continues, he and Yamamoto Sanjūhachi have no chance of winning.
Run! Run as fast as you can!
"All South Korea, leave the battlefield as quickly as possible and retreat south!"
Park Seong-man disregarded everything else and immediately ordered his people to retreat in order to preserve their fighting strength.
The fighter jets were fast enough that all of Goryeo's fighter jets had withdrawn from the Vladivostok area before enemy forces arrived.
But Daiwa's warships weren't so easy to evade.
Ships are inherently much slower than airplanes, and the recent nuclear explosion has rendered many of Daiwa's warships unusable.
The wreckage of the damaged warships also blocked the shipping lanes, trapping the remaining warships within them.
Yamamoto Sanjūhachi was relatively lucky; his flagship wasn't completely destroyed, and he's still alive.
But he was also unfortunate.
Because of the recent turbulence, his obese body was pierced by the iron plates and steel pipes on the ship.
He was covered in blood and couldn't move at all; he was completely embedded in the cabin.
"Damn it!"
"Mr. Park, please help us!"
"Use Goryeo fighter jets to provide cover for us, otherwise our ships will have a hard time escaping the Russian Bear encirclement!"
Yamamoto Sanjūhachi pleaded in the Winter One channel.
But at this moment, Park Seong-man had no time to care about him.
Although it's Instance, the penalty for death is still severe; not only will you lose points, but you'll also lose the opportunity to acquire Instance skills.
Even if the final Instance can be conquered, those who die early will not gain any skills.
At this critical juncture, it's natural for everyone to flee in panic, trying their best to protect themselves and their people in their Settlements.
There was still no response from Park Seong-man on the channel...
"Damn it! Traitor!"
"What kind of bullshit alliance is this?!"
At this moment, Yamamoto Sanjūhachi could only vent his emotions by swearing!
If Park Seong-man were in front of him, he would want to tear him apart alive!
"Listen up, all you surviving Dahe people! We can't escape anyway, so let's make one last stand against the Bear Country!"
"Kill them all if you can!"
Yamamoto Sanjūhachi made his final decision: to put up a last stand.
Even in death, we must die with dignity, upholding the honor of the Great He Clan.
I absolutely cannot die in such a humiliating way as I did in the Raging Waves before.
"For Daiwa!"
"For Daiwa!"
"For Daiwa!"
All the surviving Daiwa Challengers screamed hysterically.
They are going to have a final showdown with the Russian Bear!
