A Thousand Years of Grievances!
The number of players in the Instance has decreased sharply.
[Number of players in the Instance: 10,000,000 / 16,000,000]
[Eagle Sauce Country: 2,000,000 people/2,000,000 people]
[Bear Country: 2,000,000 people/2,000,000 people]
[Eastern Ocean Island: 2,000,000 people/2,000,000 people]
[Thousand Islands Country: 2,000,000 people/2,000,000 people]
[Malaysia: 2,000,000 people/2,000,000 people]
[Kazakhstan Country: 0 people/2,000,000 people]
[Myanmar: 0 people/2,000,000 people]
[Stick Country: 0 people/2,000,000 people]
The carnage in the Dragon Country was far more brutal than imagined; the destruction of 2 million people in this Instance could happen in the blink of an eye.
From the Dragon Country opened fire to the annihilation of the Stick Country Challengers forces, it took less than a minute!
This once again broke the record for the fastest annihilation time.
Within two hours of the start, the Challengers had already lost 6 million players.
Moreover, the way these Challengers were killed was utterly humiliating.
They never even considered engaging the Dragon Country's army; they hadn't even seen a shadow of the Dragon Country's army before being slaughtered on their escape route.
With such performance, it's impossible to get a good rating at the end of the Instance; in fact, it's entirely possible to get a D rating and have a large number of points deducted.
For many Challengers, they are highly likely to be eliminated directly on the results screen!
The fall of Stick Country has made the atmosphere of the Instance even more somber!
"Park Seong-man and his gang died way too quickly!"
At this time, in the Imperial Garden Pavilion of Pines Edo on the Eastern Ocean Island.
Old George looked utterly terrified.
He looked at the distant sky, where he could see Stick Country warplanes crashing one after another.
The sky was completely dyed blood red, and fiery rain fell into the deep sea; the sight alone was enough to induce despair.
He had anticipated that Park Seong-man's army would be unable to withstand the wrath of the Dragon Country, but he hadn't expected them to be defeated so quickly.
This battle royale was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Old George originally shared the same idea as Park Jeong-man: to flee to the Eagle Sauce Country.
But now this plan seems unwise.
Stick Country and Eastern Ocean Island are very close to each other. If Dragon Country's missiles can easily hit Stick Country fighter jets, then wouldn't China's own aircraft carriers also be easily locked onto...?
George was caught in an endless dilemma.
"What do I do?"
"Where exactly is the breakthrough point in this Instance?"
He was the slowest to make decisions among all the Instance commanders.
Because he has a fatal flaw: greed.
As the Commander of the United States Settlement, George and the various tribes of the United States Settlement are skilled in Naval Warfare, so he previously used a large number of points to purchase more than fifty Lin Ye aircraft carriers.
This was a considerable expense, amounting to a full 1 billion points. It essentially emptied the Settlement's reserves and also required the use of a significant amount of one's own points.
Once the battle royale began, George should have abandoned the aircraft carriers and escaped by plane.
Because aircraft carriers travel at an extremely slow speed.
But the greedy George was unwilling to give up the precious weapons he had acquired with his points, and even in the virtual Instance, he found it hard to part with them.
So he absurdly issued an order to have all the Challengers board the aircraft carrier and then thoroughly prepare it.
Time was wasted in vain, and by this point, the Challengers on the Eastern Ocean Islands had not yet completed their evacuation...
If you don't want to leave, then don't leave!
Just as Old George was struggling with his decision, a notification came from the Firmament.
[Firmament Notification: Attention all Challengers from the Eastern Ocean Islands! Due to the historical grudges between the Dragon Country and the Eastern Ocean Islands, a new special event has been triggered: The Dragon Country's Revenge!]
[The Dragon Country's Revenge: The Dragon Country and the Eastern Ocean Island have a feud spanning thousands of years! The scars of history are still vivid in our minds:]
In 663 AD, the Eastern Ocean Island provoked the Dragon Country, leading to the Battle of Baekgang. The Dragon Country used 170 warships to destroy 1,000 warships of Eastern Ocean Island!
In 1274 AD, the Dragon Country of the Yuan Dynasty failed to defeat the Eastern Ocean Island. Afterwards, the Eastern Ocean Island became arrogant and began to provoke the Dragon Country, and the relationship between the two countries became deadlocked.
In 1555 AD, Japanese pirates from the Eastern Ocean Island harassed the coastal areas of Dragon Country and occupied the Treasure Island of Dragon Country. The Dragon Country bravely resisted, and the Anti-Wokou War the Japanese Pirates broke out. In the end, Dragon Country drove the Japanese pirates from Eastern Ocean Island out of Dragon Country territory.
In 1592 AD, the Eastern Ocean Island attacked North Stick Country, an event known as the Imjin War! Dragon Country sent troops to aid North Stick Country, ultimately driving out the Eastern Ocean Island forces in North Stick Country.
In 1894, Eastern Ocean Island invaded Dragon Country, leading to the First Sino-Japanese War. Dragon Country was defeated and signed a series of unequal treaties.
In 1937, Eastern Ocean Island once again invaded Dragon Country and established a puppet regime in the snowy northeastern part of Dragon Country. The war lasted for fourteen years, causing irreparable losses to the people of Dragon Country! Ultimately, through the bloody struggle of the Dragon Country people, Eastern Ocean Island surrendered unconditionally...
[The national humiliation and family feuds are something the Dragon Country can never forget! Blood debts must be repaid in blood! The blood shed by the Japanese pirates of the Eastern Ocean Island Dragon Country will be repaid tenfold! Today, Dragon Country will end these millennia-old feuds!]
Old George was completely bewildered by the densely packed details of the events.
"What... what is this?"
"We merely chose Eastern Ocean Island as our Spawn Point. What do the grudges between Dragon Country and Eastern Ocean Island have to do with us Challengers?!"
"This is unreasonable! This is absolutely unreasonable!"
Old George was making a frantic accusation, but the Firmament was completely ignoring him.
[Firmament Notification: Due to a special event, the Dragon Country will change its plan to peacefully occupy the Eastern Ocean Island... Next, the Dragon Country will launch 10,000 Dongfeng-41 ballistic missiles! Covering the entire Eastern Ocean Island!]
Evil must be eradicated completely! This time, the Dragon Country will sink the entire Eastern Ocean Island!
