This Wasn't an Instance, It Was a Battle Royale!

Five hundred million points—that's a huge demand for points.

This is basically consistent with their previous assumptions.

In the last the Great Wall Watch Instance, Prince Singh alone spent 1.3 billion points to buy weapons from the Eagle Sauce and Russian Bear. Now, directly controlling the Eagle Sauce Country and Bear Country only requires 500 million points, which can actually be considered fair and just.

However, unlike the India Settlements, these eight Settlements do not have abundant reserves of resources offered by their clansmen.

To release 500 million Instance at once, it would require a massive "blood donation" from the clan members.

At the same time, Challengers entering the Instance must generally be in a state where their points have been cleared.

This bet is World War I!

"Our Dahe Settlement chooses the Eagle Sauce Country!"

Emperor Minamoto no Yorimitsu was the first to make a choice.

There are hardly any high-level Challengers left in the Daiwa Settlement, and the shrine's points have been almost completely depleted. These 500 million points are now an absolute necessity for Daiwa.

He, along with Xiaochuan, Yamamoto Sanjūhachi, and other high-ranking officials, all donated 90% of their points!

That's barely enough to meet the points requirement.

Every Great He Clan people who entered the Instance had their points depleted immediately, with each person having only 1 point left.

This time, Minamoto no Yorimitsu also realized that the Great He Clan was now on the verge of collapse, and the settlement was already in a state of near disintegration.

Why not take a gamble and go all in!

The heroic sacrifice of the Dragon Country's People's Liberation Army had greatly shocked the entire Great He Clan.

Now they too must emulate the Dragon Country, always ready to spill blood on the Great Wall Watch.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"For the Bushido Spirit!"

The next second, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and his two million clansmen were directly teleported to various Military Bases in the Eagle Sauce Country.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu opened his eyes, he found himself, along with Xiaochuan and several other high-ranking soldiers from the Dahe Settlement, inside the White House, the Presidential Palace of the Eagle Sauce Country.

"The Triumph Settlement has chosen the Thousand Islands Country of Indonesia!"

"United States Settlement should choose Eastern Ocean Island!"

"Kazakhstan Country for Italy Settlement!"

Burundi has chosen Stick Country Burundi Settlement!

"Libya Settlement chooses Myanmar!"

"The Gauls have chosen the Malaysia Gaul Settlement!"

As per Xi'er's previous plan, each Settlement made its own choice.

This is an encirclement set up around the Dragon Country.

All the Spawn Points are arranged in a surrounding formation, seemingly intent on encircling and hunting the Dragon Country!

Since the goal is to encircle and annihilate, it's impossible to set the Spawn Point too far from the Dragon Country.

The Triumph Settlement and the Burundi Settlement are primarily engaged in Aerial Warfare!

United States Settlements primarily engage in Naval Warfare.

The Italy Settlement Gaul Settlement in Land Warfare.

There are no strict requirements for the Libya Settlements; they can fight however they want.

As for the Eagle Sauce Dahe Settlement and the Nirmaner Settlement, since the two major powers, the Russian Bear, were chosen, a full-scale military deployment by land, sea and air is required.

In fact, this time the division of forces is not so restricted by troop type. Inspired by the previous Combined Arms Brigade of the Dragon Country, this time the configuration of all Settlements is basically multi-troop coordinated combat.

This can be understood as each Spawn Point faction having a mixed troop composition, each capable of standing alone.

"The Nirmaner Settlement have chosen the Bear Country as their settlement!"

With Commander-in-Chief Xi'er's final selection complete, all Challengers were teleported in an orderly fashion to their respective Spawn Points.

Meanwhile, Commander such as George, Arthur, Fulangche were respectively teleported to the Black House, the Imperial Garden Pavilion of Pines, Ulaanbaatar, the Jakarta General Government, and the Myawaddy KK Park...

At the same time, a large communication channel, Watchtower No. 1, accommodating these eight strongest individuals, was also established.

To facilitate communication between commanders of different Instances.

[Firmament Notification: Weapon purchases will soon begin. A weapon purchase list will be available at the Main Control Consoles at each Spawn Point. All Challengers are advised to purchase Instance weapons as soon as possible!]

[Each nation will have ten minutes to purchase weapons, after which the Instance quest will be announced; a friendly reminder from Firmament: once the Instance officially begins, Challengers will find it difficult to purchase weapons...]

This time, the pace of the Firmament was extremely fast, giving Challengers virtually no time to breathe; it felt like every move was interconnected.

It always gives people an invisible sense of tension.

Bear Country.

Moscow in a snow-covered landscape.

Inside the Kremlin President's Office.

At this moment, Xi'er was already sitting at the presidential table, noticed something amiss again.

"Strange..." Xi'er muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly.

At this moment, the Three Great Generals Guderian, Rommel, and Mansh were already standing in front of Xi'er.

"Your Head of State, is there something you're worried about?" Mansh asked.

"That's a bit strange. Isn't buying Instance weapons an additional mechanic?"

"I remember that after the Instance quests were finalized, the Instance commander had plenty of free time to buy weapons."

"Why did Lin Ye bring this part of the process forward this time?"

Xi'er was a little confused as to why the Firmament had warned that once the war officially began, there would be no more time to purchase weapons.

Does this mean this feature will be disabled immediately after the Instance quest is confirmed?

Xi'er had a vague, ominous premonition.

That was his unique sense of danger.

For safety and security reasons, instructions were still issued to the Commander the other Settlements via the channel.

[Xi'er: Everyone, this time the Great Wall Watch is a bit different, the overall pace feels much faster.]

Please buy all the Instance weapons at once, don't leave any room for doubt! We only have one chance!

[Fulangche: The order of this Instance is completely different from the last one, everyone be careful!]

[Arthur: It's just moving the weapon purchase process forward, it's not a big deal, everyone can just buy them.]

[Kaza: What's there to be afraid of? Once we buy the weapons, let's start killing!]

Apart from Bear Country and the Eagle Sauce Country, the other six Settlements have purchased large quantities of Lin Ye's Instance weapons.

Essentially every Settlement has purchased a large number of advanced weapons, including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, and F-22 fighter aircraft.

This time, there was no annoying phone call from the Eagle Sauce; weapon purchases were settled directly with a list, making it much more convenient and faster.

Ten minutes later, all the countries had completed their arms purchases.

In an instant, a piercing alarm sounded inside the Instance.

[Firmament Notification: The Challengers's configuration in the Instance has met special conditions, triggering the Dragon Country starting buff: Eight-Nation Alliance!]

[Eight-Nation Alliance: Triggered when there are eight Challengers nations, the Dragon Country's past memories are fully awakened.]

The Dragon Country will launch a full-scale attack, declaring war on the Challengers forces! Instance original Instance quests will be reset, and the Instance will enter a brutal battle royale mode!
