The Flames of War Consume Everything, Bombarding Saint Petersburg!
This is Xi'er's final move! And also her most important move!
Xi'er used the combined forces of Mansh and Guderian, totaling 1.2 million troops, to completely undermine the defenses of Saint Petersburg!
Saint Petersburg is located on the northwestern border of Bear Country, making it difficult for Bear Country to send troops from other regions to provide support, as it requires long journeys.
Now Xi'er has devised a plan to lure all of the Russian Bear's forces to Mansh and Guderian's side, which is tantamount to completely shorting Saint Petersburg.
In this way Rommel's army could easily take advantage of the situation and invade.
Xi'er had planned this timeline very carefully; even if the Bear Country discovered that Saint Petersburg had been invaded, there simply wouldn't be enough time to return and provide support!
Even though the Russian Bear reacted incredibly quickly and immediately, their small force was simply no match for Rommel's army.
Keep in mind that the army currently lurking around Saint Petersburg is a massive force comprised of Eastern Ocean Island and Stick Country, it totals a staggering two million!
To deal with such an army, the Bear Country would have to go to great lengths, but if most of its troops were redeployed to Saint Petersburg, it would leave Moscow and Volgograd vulnerable.
At that point, Xi'er could easily have Mansh and Guderian launch another counterattack on Volgograd, and the Russian Bear would still be helpless.
This was Xi'er's entire plan, and the most comprehensive method she could conceive based on her current understanding of the Bear Country.
"General Rommel, now it's your turn to shine!"
"Success or failure hinges on this!"
"For Nirmaner, give it your all! Burn yourself!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, Rommel was greatly encouraged.
"Yes, Your Head of State!"
He was ten kilometers outside Saint Petersburg, observing the city's movements through binoculars!
Before entering the Instance, he had no idea that he would be considered the key to victory or defeat in this Battle.
This is the largest Instance of Group Assault the Nirmaner Settlements.
This is also the most difficult Instance that Rommel has ever entered.
There is none other than this!
In such an important Battle, under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, Head of State Xi'er actually entrusted him with the most crucial mission.
This is the greatest trust we can place in him!
In fact, among the Three Great Generals, Rommel was the weakest in terms of strength and also the least famous.
Although both are LV4, the other two have significantly more points than him.
The other two men were generally of higher military standing and competence than him. Especially in the Settlement, there was always controversy over whether Mansh or Guderian was the top general, but there was never any dispute about who was the third-ranking general.
Rommel had not received formal military training; all his combat methods were unorthodox or even rudimentary.
Compared to Mansh's moderation and Guderian's progressiveness, Rommel was more like a cunning and deceitful conman!
His forte is fighting in the open, because that's where he can carry out all his cunning tactics.
He always does things the opposite of what's expected and has even invented a lot of rather unscrupulous tactics.
Take, for example, his famous "Fireworks Screen" tactic.
The so-called "Fireworks Screen" actually involves firing all Military Ordnance simultaneously, even before fully identifying the enemy, aiming at the air in the direction of the enemy. This way, once the enemy enters the firing range, they will be hit first...
In Rommel's view, the key to war between two armies is to strike first!
Whoever suppresses the opponent with firepower first is often the one who wins! Whoever strikes first gains the advantage.
Those who Counterattack later are often defeated and completely suppressed. Therefore, even without identifying the opponent's exact target, one should use Fireworks Screen and suppress them with firepower.
To achieve this goal, wasting some ammunition was of no concern, and Rommel didn't even care if it exposed his position.
In the eyes of high-level Dungeon Designers, this kind of "cheating" tactic is completely low-class and not worthy of being discussed.
But it must be said that this tactic did bring Rommel many victories...
All this disapproval was clearly something that Rommel, who was already at the top of the Challengers, was somewhat bothered by.
This Winter Is Coming Instance raid is his best chance to prove himself!
"Everyone, listen up!"
"Hit him harder! Hit him with all your might!"
"Advance and fire as you go, capture Saint Petersburg!"
Rommel had actually been observing for a long time and found that Saint Petersburg was indeed completely undefended.
All the guards had gone out to support Moscow, leaving Saint Petersburg completely undefended, a "ghost town."
It's like having the door wide open and being attacked.
"South Korea's Black Hawk fighter, Golden Eagle fighter, Nightingale Helicopters —I don't care what model they are, bring them all out!"
"Bomb Saint Petersburg directly! Dump all the ammunition off your planes!"
In the chaotic sky, countless Black Hawk fighter suddenly appeared, directly covering the skies above Saint Petersburg.
They roared past with lightning speed, their wings carrying deadly missiles!
With a series of sharp whistles, these missiles streaked across the sky like meteors and were precisely deployed into Saint Petersburg.
Hundreds of thousands of fighter jets dropping bombs at the same time felt like a black rain of bombs!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot into the sky, and smoke billowed.
Debris from the building fell like raindrops amidst the swirling snow.
From an aerial viewpoint, the entire city looks like a giant building block that was brutally toppled in an instant!
"Where is Daiwa's fleet? Don't just stand around, attack the port of Saint Petersburg at the mouth of the Neva River!"
"Give them a good beating!! Let everyone see the strength of your Daiwa Fleet!"
As soon as the words were spoken, on the turbulent sea, the massive cannons of tens of thousands of Daiwa warships were aimed at the targets on the shore, each boom accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion.
The shells pierced the air, leaving blinding flashes of light, and finally struck various corners of the city, triggering continuous explosions and flames.
The explosion stirred up huge tidal waves in the Saint Petersburg harbor, which mingled with the smoke and dust in the sky and rushed directly into the streets of Saint Petersburg.
Call!
The waves, accompanied by gunfire, created a bizarre scene that instantly swallowed up the harbor of Saint Petersburg!
