The Official Instance Missions!
Lee Tae-yong chose South Korea to prove himself!
In the previous instances of the Winter Is Coming event, Kim Geun-seok repeatedly chose South Korea, but all of them ended in failure, showing extremely poor performance!
If Lee Tae-yong can achieve some success in South Korea, he can definitely salvage his reputation and let the world see the head of the Korean Lee family again!
Even if Park Seong-man doesn't think much of him, other bigwigs from other Settlement might extend an olive branch to him.
It's not unreasonable for Lee Tae-yong to have such thoughts. Although the Lee family is gone, he is still LV3 even though he has drained the Lee family's blood!
At level LV3, there are still many Settlements that want to recruit them!
[Title from the Firmament: This instance allows for multiple spawn points. Commander, would you prefer to select only South Korea as the challenger spawn point?]
Upon hearing Firmament's notification, Lee Tae-yong almost burst out laughing.
Ridiculous! With their current troop deployment, what right do they have to carry out a split-force operation?! Do they even deserve it?
Lee Tae-yong just glanced at the various data in the instance's backend.
Of the remaining 1.9 million Goryeo people, he was the only one who had reached LV3 level...
Then there were 200,000 people at LV2, even after Park Seong-man forced the Choi and Park families to each contribute 100,000 elites.
The rest are mostly noobs at LV0 and LV1.
What do LV0 and LV1 mean?
They don't even qualify to enter the dungeon with their weapons.
These teammates are so incompetent, they're practically hopeless.
Unfortunately, this is the current situation in the South Korean settlement. At least 99% of the challengers are LV0 or LV1, and they will almost always be drawn randomly.
With this kind of setup, there probably isn't even a second person capable of commanding the instance, so how can we talk about dividing forces? How can we talk about a joint attack?
"No need, everyone will choose to be born in South Korea!"
[Firmament notification: Spawn point confirmed!]
[Due to the large number of challengers in this instance, all challengers will be randomly assigned to three locations in South Korea: the Presidential Palace (Black House), Jeokju Island Naval Base, and Bird Island Air Force Base...]
[Please, raid commander, make further adjustments within the raid.]
Immediately afterwards, the scene before everyone's eyes began to swirl and change, with mosaics rushing in like a tidal wave.
The next second, they had already been deployed to South Korea on Earth Online.
The mosaic in front of him gradually solidified, and when Lee Tae-yong opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the presidential office at the Black House.
A table full of documents awaiting signature was laid out before me.
The seats that once belonged to Kim Geun-seok and Park Seong-man are now occupied by him.
Lee Tae-yong steadied himself and took a long breath.
He glanced at the instance backend; all challengers had been assigned to three positions.
The Black House: 500,000 people.
Jizhou Island Naval Base: 700,000 personnel!
Bird Island Air Force Base: 700,000 people!
Immediately afterwards, a large screen of light was projected in front of Lee Tae-yong's eyes.
Then, on the screen, the camera continued to move, continuously moving westward.
Finally, it docked once again within the territory of the Dragon Country.
[We have already provided a preliminary overview of the Dragon Country's basic situation; now we will provide a more detailed description of Dragon Country military deployment!]
The Dragon Country is divided into five major war zones: Eastern War Zone, Southern War Zone, Western War Zone, Northern War Zone, Central War Zone...
The Dragon Country army is divided into 13 army groups...
The Dragon Country Air Force is divided into eight military regions: Yanbei Military Region, Shengjing Military Region, Qizhou Military Region, Jianye Military Region, Jincheng Military Region, Huacheng Military Region, Jinguancheng Military Region, and a special operations military region...
[The Dragon Country Navy has three major fleets: the Canghai Fleet (East China Sea), the Nanming Fleet, and the Beihai Fleet.] (These names definitely need to be changed, otherwise the author will be in jail. You get the idea.)
The Firmament marked one bright dot after another on the map, showing the division of war zones and the outposts of major bases.
"Such a complicated division..."
Lee Tae-yong couldn't help but sigh a couple of times.
The previous Winter Is Coming dungeon had a much simpler system for troop deployment.
The current troop deployment of the Dragon Country is so overwhelming that it's almost dizzying.
Then the camera on the light screen slowly zoomed out, and all the base locations were simultaneously displayed on the screen, twinkling like stars.
[The map and prerequisite information for this instance have been introduced. Challengers can now view further information on any computer in the Black House command center.]
[Next... Firmament will provide a detailed explanation of the quests for this instance.]
[Mission 1: Annihilate any one of the following: 13 Army Groups, 8 Air Force Regions, or 3 Naval Fleets!]
[Mission 2: Conquer one of the 34 regions in the Dragon Country and force the Dragon Country to cede that region to the Korean Kingdom.]
[There is no surrender option in the Great Wall Watch dungeon; please choose carefully between the two quest lines mentioned above!]
Lee Tae-yong pondered the two mission lines while observing the map of the Dragon Country and the locations of major military bases.
He immediately ruled out task 2!
Mission 1 only requires eliminating one army within the land, sea, and air system, but Mission 2 requires occupying a region within the Dragon Country.
The level of difficulty is obvious!
Dragon Country is divided into 34 regions, some large and some small, but even the smallest is much larger than the territory of South Korea.
Lee Tae-yong knew all too well the difficulty of conquering an area.
Take the previous Winter Is Coming instance as an example; just capturing a single main city was incredibly difficult, let alone capturing a large area now.
Almost every region contains one or more military bases. To occupy this region, one must confront all the forces in that region, a task far more demanding than simply eliminating an army.
Of course, there are also a few areas where no military force is deployed, such as Tibet in the southwest of Dragon Country and Xinjiang in the northwest...
However, those places are all on the borders of Dragon Country. Given that we are currently born in South Korea, reaching those places would inevitably require passing through large swathes of Dragon Country's territory!
"Hmph, another trap!"
Did you think I would make such a basic mistake?
If it were a typical challenger, they might actually choose Mission Two, targeting Tibet and Western Xinjiang as their offensive objectives, attempting to wage war through air combat.
But this is utterly stupid, as stupid as it gets.
A Dragon Country as China couldn't possibly be without air defense weapons. Before it even reaches its destination, it'll probably be riddled with bullets.
Lee Tae-yong snorted twice and said directly, "I choose mission one!"
