Betraying Each Other!
The Challengers at Pearl Harbor Base are still engaged in their final battle.
Because the Commander-in-Chief, Prime Minister Xiaochuan, instructed them to defend Pearl Harbor Base to the death.
Pearl Harbor is the gateway to the Eagle Sauce Country. Once this Military Base is captured, the Eagle Sauce Country will be in a very passive position.
Therefore, for the Emperor and for Daiwa, they were willing to fight to the last drop of blood.
Only through our own tenacious resistance can we delay the Dragon Country's offensive and secure a glimmer of hope for our homeland.
The Daiwa Challengers, who were fighting desperately at sea, had no idea that their three commanders had already quietly left the base in private planes...
"Commander! Commander! We really can't hold on any longer!"
"The Dragon Country's firepower is too overwhelming; we now have fewer than 1,000 warships left."
"The F-22 fighter were almost completely wiped out; Dragon Country has completely seized Air Superiority!"
"Prime Minister Xiaochuan, please relay the battle situation to the mainland: Pearl Harbor Military Base is about to be breached by the Dragon Country."
The Challengers continuously reported the battle situation to Yamamoto Sanjūhachi and Fuchikawa Yasuhide via their communication devices.
Unfortunately, I received no reply.
They then consulted with Commander-in-Chief Xiaochuan, but still received no reply.
At this point, all three had left the command center and discarded all their communication equipment in order to sever all contact with the Eagle Sauce Country.
The Challengers naturally couldn't find them.
Under the control of the Great He Clan's Bushido, Challengers do indeed obey orders from their superiors without question, but that doesn't mean they are fools.
If one person didn't reply, that would be one thing, but when three people didn't reply, the Challengers immediately realized what had happened.
Their commander has abandoned them!
The remaining Great He Clan people immediately lost all will to fight and threw away their weapons.
Over the communication channel, the Challengers began to hurl insults at each other.
"Why! Why did the Commander keep talking about sacrificing for the Emperor Daiwa, about the Bushido Spirit, but then he abandoned us and ran away?"
"It was all a lie! Those commanders up there were just using us as cannon fodder."
"The commander has left, is there any point in us continuing?"
"Who are we fighting for? Are we risking our lives just to give these high-ranking people in the Dahe Settlement a better score?"
"Hmph! Why should they?! If we're going to be wiped out, then they shouldn't live either!"
Xiaochuan never imagined that his retreat would have such a profound impact on the surviving Challengers.
Little did they know, the loyalty of Daiwa was not as high as they imagined.
The three failures of the Raging Waves and the subsequent failure of the Winter Is Coming had already caused the people to lose faith in this settlement.
Xiaochuan is using this tactic to completely break these Challengers.
Inside the Eagle Sauce Country in the White House.
Emperor Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who had been intently watching the real-time battle footage on the Light Screen, angrily overturned all the documents on his desk to the ground.
General Yasui, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and whispered words of comfort.
"Emperor Majesty, please calm your anger!"
"Hmph!" Minamoto no Yorimitsu roared, looking furious.
At that moment, he no longer cared about his status as Emperor, and directly drew his Samurai sword, smashing over the presidential desk in the White House.
"These three people actually betrayed me! I trusted them so much!"
"Xiaochuan!! I entrusted you with such an important Battle, and this is how you repay me!"
"They have not only lost the Bushido Spirit, but are instead filled with scheming and betrayal!"
"Emperor Majesty, perhaps they just have other tactics, and it might not be as serious as we think," Yasui tried to persuade them.
But Minamoto no Yorimitsu became even angrier, his face turning as pale as paper.
That feeling was like the possibility of losing control and killing someone at any moment.
"Stop trying to persuade them, General Yasui. Can't you see what they're thinking?"
"They simply logged out of the communication channel, and even disappeared from the personnel list in the Instance Backend. What is this if not betrayal?"
"My biggest relief right now is that we didn't send all of Eagle Sauce's troops to Pearl Harbor!"
Yasui also let out a long sigh.
Given the current situation, on the surface, it is clear that Xiaochuan, Yamamoto Sanjūhachi, and Fuchikawa Yasuhide have indeed betrayed their country and their Settlement.
Such behavior—acting unilaterally in Instance and breaking free from the commander's control—will absolutely not be permitted by the settlement.
This might not be a big deal under the rules of the Firmament, but within any Settlement, such behavior is a serious crime.
Not to mention the Dahe Settlement, where the Bushido Spirit is passed down and everyone is unconditionally loyal to the Emperor!
Once the Instance ends, these three will be expelled from the Settlement at best, and at worst punished or even eliminated through various Instance methods!
"Emperor Majesty, what should we do now?"
"It's estimated that the Pearl Harbor Base will be completely occupied by the Dragon Country army in less than half an hour."
"If Dragon Country uses Pearl Harbor Base as a springboard to attack the mainland of the Eagle Sauce Country, we will be in a very passive position."
At this moment Minamoto no Yorimitsu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
That incredibly intense killing intent!
He now wished he could tear Xiaochuan and the others to pieces.
Since his subordinates had already betrayed him, he naturally had no reason to care about anything else.
Since Xiaochuan is heartless, don't blame him for being ungrateful.
"According to our previous plan!"
"Launch nuclear and biological bombs at Pearl Harbor Military Base using long-range missile systems! Destroy Pearl Harbor!"
