The Road Had Already Gone Too Far

Both Xi'er and Minamoto no Yorimitsu seem to be the same kind of people, resorting to ruthless methods that involve sacrificing their own people.

But they are fundamentally different.

One is a far-sighted master of the big picture, the other is just a reckless madman jumping around.

Xi'er and the Three Great Generals trust each other, and their goal is to clear the Instance.

Furthermore, Xi'er did not personally harm her own people; in fact, all her actions were aimed at protecting them.

It's all for the sake of getting better Instance ratings for their own people.

The reason he didn't tell the Three Great Generals his battle plan was simply to prevent the Dragon Country from eavesdropping or guessing his movements.

But the people in the Dahe Settlement are completely different.

Xiaochuan and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were both harboring their own ulterior motives. One was the old Emperor, and the other was the New Emperor. They were inherently irreconcilable enemies.

Both of their goals were ultimately for their own benefit.

Xiaochuan didn't want to be cannon fodder, so he kept a backup plan so he could survive until the end of the Instance and get a higher score.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was even more terrifying; he was willing to kill his own clansmen in order to win the Pacific War.

It's laughable just thinking about it.

The Great He people, who have always believed in the Bushido Spirit and promoted their loyalty and faith, have never truly been willing to sacrifice themselves.

In the end, in an Instance where teamwork was needed to face a powerful enemy, they chose to fight amongst themselves!

At this moment, Minamoto no Yorimitsu felt no regret whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt quite pleased.

Little did he know that this move of his had actually plunged him into an abyss of no return.

If the Pearl Harbor Military Base were to explode, he would have no hope of victory.

For the Eagle Sauce Country to enter the Phase Two its Raging Waves" phase, a prerequisite is the " Memories of Pearl Harbor ".

The Memories of Pearl Harbor describe the attack on the Pearl Harbor Military Base.

If the Pearl Harbor Military Base is destroyed by Dragon Country, the Eagle Sauce Country will immediately go into berserk mode.

A series of powerful buffs will be triggered afterwards!

All fleets lost in the Pacific Ocean Naval Warfare will be "resurrected and reorganized," evolving into even more powerful Nation-Destroying Fleet.

In addition, the Eagle Sauce Country Air Force and Army will receive a major boost.

The Eagle Sauce Country Air Force is already the best in the Earth Online. If it were to gain the [Eagle Strikes the Sky] buff, it could instantly regain Air Superiority over the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, a series of hegemonic actions by the Eagle Sauce will be directly triggered.

They will launch a comprehensive boycott and blockade against the Dragon Country in areas such as economy, trade, oil, and foreign exchange.

Although these are not direct military strikes, they can impose comprehensive sanctions on Dragon Country, directly affecting Dragon Country's subsequent troop replenishment.

Unfortunately, neither Minamoto no Yorimitsu no Yorimitsu nor Xiaochuan had considered this aspect.

They were people who had personally experienced the Raging Waves, yet they never considered this possibility, and even after Xi'er reminded them, they were completely unaware of it.

In terms of attention to detail and keen awareness, they are simply not on the same level as Xi'er.

Now that Minamoto no Yorimitsu intends to completely destroy Pearl Harbor Base, it would essentially eliminate the condition that could trigger the Phase Two of the Eagle Sauce...

They blocked their own path.

Anyone who uses their brain even a little bit will realize how incredibly stupid this plan is.

Even if we annihilate the entire Dragon Country fleet in this way, what good will it do?

With the buff of Everyone Is a Soldier, the Dragon Country's military strength will be replenished the next day, restoring it to its peak condition.

There are no "what ifs" in life. Once a choice has been made, one must bear the consequences.

Ten minutes later, ten Trident Missiles were launched directly from a port on the west coast of the Eagle Sauce Country.

Carrying all of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's hopes, they prepared to deliver a fatal blow to the Dragon Country!

Five nautical miles above Pearl Harbor Military Base.

Xiaochuan, Yamamoto Sanjūhachi, and Fuchikawa Yasuhide were flying slowly south in their private plane.

They don't fly fast, and they are the most advanced stealth aircraft in the Eagle Sauce Country.

So far, there has been no indication of any discovery.

Because they had cut off all contact with the Eagle Sauce Country, they did not know the exact number of casualties at this moment.

All they could do was observe the movements of the Pearl Harbor Military Base from high above, watching as the black tide of the Dragon Country fleet gradually wiped out the remaining Eagle Sauce forces.

"Prime Minister Xiaochuan, won't this cause the Emperor to misunderstand?"

"He won't see us as traitors, will he...? That would be really troublesome after we leave the Instance."

"Shouldn't we re-enter the communication channel and explain the situation to His Majesty Emperor?"

At this point, the die was cast, and Yamamoto Sanjūhachi felt somewhat uneasy.

Sweat dripped incessantly from his plump face.

"Don't worry, I'll explain to His Majesty the Emperor once the Instance is over," Xiaochuan said coldly.

"We believe that the tolerant Emperor can understand our predicament, provided, of course... that the Dahe Settlement can still exist after this Instance."

Yamamoto Sanjūhachi's question only made Xiaochuan find it both ridiculous and funny.

At this point, does he still think that idiot Minamoto no Yorimitsu can clear the Instance?

The moment they suffered defeat in the Pacific Ocean Naval Warfare, the fate of the Eagle Sauce Country was sealed.

If this Instance fails, the Dahe Settlement will be completely destroyed. At that point, the Settlement will cease to exist, so what's the point of talking about the Emperor and Earthly Emperor?

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives! The most important thing now is to protect yourself.

Instead of worrying about what will happen after the Instance ends, you should think about how to avoid being wiped out by the Firmament inside the Instance.

Just then, a faint whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

The three of them stared intently outside.

High in the distance, ten "comets" were seen flying towards the Pearl Harbor Military Base, trailing long tails.

The missile was incredibly fast! In just a few seconds, it was directly overhead at Pearl Harbor Military Base.

At that speed, the air defense equipment at Pearl Harbor Military Base would have no chance of successfully intercepting it.

"A missile? Is this a missile from Dragon Country?"

Seeing the trajectories of these ten missiles, Xiaochuan was quite surprised.

The Dragon Country already had victory firmly in its grasp, and taking over Pearl Harbor Military Base was a foregone conclusion. Why then did they resort to bombing it with long-range Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles?!

Xiaochuan felt increasingly uneasy.

Suddenly he realized a terrible problem!

This might not be a missile from Dragon Country at all, but rather a missile launched from the mainland of the Eagle Sauce Country.
