Using a Million Compatriots as Bait
[The beginning of the previous chapter (Chapter 318) has been expanded a bit to make some of the later plot points more logical. Brothers who have already read it can take another look. ^_^]
"Yes, Your Head of State!"
"I didn't expect the Gauls to be so understanding this time. They'll realize how right their choice was later."
"We Germans will show them how the invincible Combined Arms Brigade of the Dragon Country can be defeated by us."
"Let's go and command the battle now!"
The Three Great Generals responded immediately, displaying the distinctive Nirmaner people gestures that conveyed their enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
While Fulangche and his companions were fleeing, the three of them had already built an impregnable defensive perimeter outside the three main cities of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Volgograd.
All the naval units of the Russian Bear's Four Fleets are on standby in several surrounding ports. Even the Borei was originally scattered around the world, has returned and is ready to launch long-range missiles at any time.
Meanwhile, the Russian Bear Aerospace Forces have begun patrolling over the three main cities.
With full coordination of land, sea, and air forces, every location can be simultaneously covered by amphibious firepower.
The overall arrangement is a nested structure with three layers inside and three layers outside, looking like the stacked gears in a mechanical watch.
This is a new battle tactic that Xi'er figured out after observing the formation of the Dragon Country's Combined Arms Brigade.
If any position is attacked, the defensive perimeter will be rapidly replenished with troops like flowing molten lava!
After receiving their orders, the Three Great Generals hurriedly left their offices in the Kremlin.
They all want to personally take to the battlefield and command the operations!
Looking at the changes in the number of challengers in the Instance Backend, Xi'er was well aware of what had happened to Fulangche and the others.
"Mr. Fulangche, you truly deserve to be called the foremost figure of the older generation."
"Your vision and awareness far surpass those of others."
Xi'er knew that Fulangche must have died a terrible death, and being chased all the way would be humiliating, both physically and mentally.
Challengers at other Spawn Points at least died a quick and painless death, while the Malaysia suffered nothing but torment on their escape.
This kind of Instance torture can even affect a Challengers's future Instance career.
But these Gauls made the right choice, and that's the only contribution they could make in the Instance.
Through their sacrifice, they lured the Dragon Country's army into their carefully laid defensive perimeter.
In addition, they successfully delayed the Instance by a whole day. If it weren't for this method, the Malaysia Challengers would have been wiped out by the Dragon Country in no time.
This inadvertently increases the chances of Challengers persisting until the very end.
Of course, the most important thing is that this escape allowed the Russian Bear satellites and various surveillance systems to accurately detect the strength and movements of the ten Army Groups of the Dragon Country.
At this moment, Xi'er looked at the information transmitted from various satellites to the Main Control Console, she had already made plans for this battle.
His hands waved erratically in the air, meticulously calculating every detail.
Each Army Group in the Dragon Country, including infantry and all Military Ordnance, has more than ten million units.
There was even an Extra-Large Army Group, with Army Group units approaching 50 million.
The combined combat strength of the ten Army Groups is around 500 million!
This is clearly an unreasonable force composition, but there's nothing we can do about it, since the Dragon Country received a buff right from the start, and its troop strength has already undergone a sudden and explosive increase.
Even if the Bear Country were to recruit all Bear Country native NPCs, it would only have a maximum combat strength of ten million. With the support of the defensive perimeter, it would be impossible for them to eliminate the Dragon Country army.
The reason for setting up this defensive perimeter is not to confront the Dragon Country head-on at this stage.
Instead, the goal is to better empower the Bear Country when entering the Phase Two, and then wipe out the Dragon Country in one fell swoop after all the buffs, such as the Great Patriotic War, are fully stacked!
Therefore, this defensive perimeter will only be able to play its greatest role in the Phase Two.
What the Bear Country needs to do now is very simple: lure the Dragon Country army into occupying a major city.
But this idea remained only in Xi'er's heart; he did not tell any of the Three Great Generals.
His orders were that the Three Great Generals and two million compatriots only needed to fight to the death.
We should fight the same way we always have.
We should treat this World War I as a life-or-death struggle.
The Dragon Country isn't stupid; if the Challengers acts too deliberately, the Dragon Country won't fall for it at all.
We can't just leave a gap in the encirclement and then give away a main city to the Dragon Country for free.
Only a fool would fall for that.
Therefore, this scene had to be acted out with blood.
The goal is to first ensure that one's army is completely annihilated and defeated by the Dragon Country.
If the Instance is a game of chess, then not only Fletcher and his gang pawns, but even his Three Great Generals are pawns.
My two million compatriots will be pulverized in the wrath of the Dragon Country!
In the end Xi'er will end the war by relying on the Bear Country NPCs that appear out of nowhere after the Great Patriotic War BUFF are stacked.
He intends to use the Instance mechanics to defeat the Dragon Country.
"Hoo." After being under intense pressure for so long, even Xi'er couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Watching the Three Great Generals hastily depart, Xi'er's eyes held a resolute and determined look.
He had no regrets about his decision, nor did he feel any guilt whatsoever.
Because he knew very well that there would be sacrifices in any war.
He was simply making the most advantageous choice from the perspective of an Instance commander.
At the boundary of the Three Main Cities defense zones.
The mighty Dragon Country army has halted its offensive.
Because the Dragon Country's detection and reconnaissance equipment has clearly detected a high density of Dragon Country Military Ordnance deployments ahead.
Take it one step further, and it will be a great war!
During the pursuit of Fulangche and his group, the ten Army Groups of the Dragon Country also quietly completed their assembly.
They were combined into an even larger Super Land Warfare Corps.
After eliminating the last Challengers from the Malaysia, the Dragon Country's army did not rush to advance but instead further consolidated its forces.
When designing the Instance factions, Lin Ye gave them a high degree of autonomy, enabling them to make accurate judgments about various situations that occur within the Instance.
Dealing with a large country like Bear Country will not be as easy for Dragon Country as it would be for countries like Kazakhstan Country or Stick Country.
Before the final battle, the Dragon Country will also make final preparations!
