Who Would Surrender Now?!

The weather in Bear Country is already exceptionally cold.

At that moment, a torrential downpour began to fall from the sky.

Looking up, the chaotic snowflakes almost covered the entire space as far as the eye could see!

The biting cold intensified instantly.

At the same time, Firmament notification sound rang in everyone's ears.

[Firmament Notification: Congratulations to all Challengers for completing the first phase of the Winter Is Coming Instance war questline! Quest rewards and penalties have been reset, and all point rewards will be tallied and calculated upon completion of all quests!]

[We are now entering the final quest phase of the Instance!]

[The mission objective has been changed to: Capture the other two main cities of the Bear Country, bringing all three main cities under the Challengers's control simultaneously, thus achieving the complete conquest of the Bear Country!]

[Successful completion of the task will earn you 1000 points; failure to complete the task will deduct 1600 points!]

[Considering that Challengers have completed the first phase of the mission, the surrender option is now available again. All current Challengers have three minutes to surrender. Surrendering at this stage will offset any points earned previously, allowing Challengers to leave the Winter Is Coming Instance with no points gained or lost!]

[All Challengers are free to make their own choice!]

[Countdown: 180...]

[179...]

[178...]

Upon seeing the new mission description, Rommel froze on the spot.

Sure enough, this Instance actually has Phase Two!

It was exactly the same as when Itō Hidetaka first challenged the Raging Waves Instance.

This also indicates that there is more to this Instance, more military events and Instance settings, which can support the launch of the new missions in the Phase Two!

Just how many things did Lin Ye design in this Instance?!

That's outrageous!

He truly deserves to be called the most sought-after Instance design genius on Azure Star today!

To be fair, based on what he said, Rommel couldn't even design one-tenth of the first stage of "Winter Is Coming".

Now they're telling him that's not all...

However, at this moment, besides shock, Rommel's mind was occupied by another, even stronger emotion.

Anger!

You could even say he was furious!

Since Lin Ye had enabled the surrender option in the final stage of this Instance.

This shows that Chun Chun treats them like fools.

Having fought to this point, Challengers such enormous energy and effort, who would choose to surrender at this stage?

"Arrogant!"

"This Lin Ye young and impetuous, truly incredibly arrogant!"

Rommel roared a couple of times, but didn't make a decision on his own.

Ultimately, the decision will be left to Head of State Xi'er.

"Your Head of State... what should we do?"

Rommel asked directly in the channel.

He knew that at this moment, everyone should have received the same Firmament Notification, including Xi'er.

At this moment, Xi'er was observing all the images on several Light Screens in the base camp.

Like Rommel, he was also filled with shock.

But as one of the top three on Azure Star, his military skills were extraordinary, and he quickly adjusted his state!

The battle continues, and as the commander, he must continue to protect his people!

And...

The war isn't over, and that's exactly what he wanted!

He entered this Instance in search of more combat excitement.

Lin Ye granted his request!

Isn't this a kind of delayed enjoyment?

Thinking of this, Xi'er's hands began to tremble uncontrollably again.

He began to analyze the upcoming battle situation.

First and foremost, we're thankfully now in the final stages of the Instance.

Once this task is completed, there will be no new tasks.

Xi'er wasn't worried about the Challengers' combat strength, but rather their mentality and physical condition.

The saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third."

All the existing Challengers have already spent a long time in the Instance, and if this continues, their morale will be greatly affected.

Furthermore, it now seems that this final task is not too difficult.

All that's needed is to capture Moscow and Volgograd.

Moreover, Volgograd had already been half captured.

Our forces are still plentiful, and with a little Micromanagement, we have a high chance of completing the final mission.

"Everyone, accept this final mission!"

I don't think anyone would want to surrender at this time, would they?

"Trust me, everyone. Your Head of State will lead you to final victory. Just hold on a little longer!"

Xi'er's words were like a reassuring pill, making everyone feel incredibly encouraged.

In an instant, everyone accepted this final mission.

[Firmament Notification: All Challengers have chosen to continue fighting; the surrender option will be permanently disabled!]

[The True Winter Battle of winter is about to begin...]

"Alright! General Mansh, General Guderian, and General Rommel, I'll tell you exactly what to do."

"The Bear Country will definitely launch a large-scale Counterattack. Once we directly clash with the Bear Country, the outcome of the war will be unpredictable."

"Therefore... we must launch an extremely fast attack!"

Xi'er stared at the several images on the Light Screen and began to predict the routes and marching times of the Russian Bear army.

It is speculated that at this point, the Russian Bear would definitely divert some of its forces to retake Saint Petersburg, while the remaining forces would continue to pursue Mansh and Guderian's troops.

Even at the fastest possible speed, assuming the Russian Bear forces are already near Volgograd, it would take the Aerospace Forces at least half an hour to reach Saint Petersburg.

Therefore, the Battle must be completed within half an hour.

"General Rommel, you must now divide your forces. Leave a portion to garrison Saint Petersburg, and send the rest immediately to Moska to capture Moska! Moscow's defenses should still be relatively weak at this point, so the capture shouldn't be too difficult."

"General Mansh, General Guderian, you also need to divide your forces. One part will continue moving within Mist Blue, while the other part will transfer from Mist Blue Country to White Bear Country and then retake Volgograd along the previous route!"

"All actions must be completed within half an hour!"

Upon hearing Xi'er's battle plan, all Three Great Generals gasped in shock.

Is this the true power of Xi'er, the Head of State of their own Settlement?!

From the Firmament revealed the latest mission details, it took less than a minute in total!

Xi'er actually came up with such a comprehensive plan based on her intuition!

With time running out, neither Mansh nor Rommel could afford to scrutinize the flaws in Xi'er's plan.

At least at this stage, this is a relatively perfect plan, and everything makes sense.

This avoided a direct confrontation with the Russian Bear as much as possible.

"Yes, Your Head of State!"

"Yes, Your Head of State!"

"With the Head of State's guidance, we are certain of victory in this battle!"
