On May 20, Cosmic Year 126, the United Army and the Dion Army had already been fighting in the Mars Sphere for forty-eight hours.
At 10:00 on May 21, Cosmic Year 126, the United Army announced its defeat.
The United Army's defeat was recorded in the annals of history that day. Historians called it the United Army's disastrous second invasion of the Dion Empire, and the historical record named it Nuclear Fall.
The Mars Sphere's satellite cannon fired its third Annihilation Cannon shot.
That shot dispelled any thoughts the United Army commanders had of continuing the fight.
It was also at 10:00 that they announced their defeat.
The Dion Army, which had won a costly victory, did not pursue the retreating United Army.
Because the Dion Army no longer had the strength to pursue the enemy.
Although the United Army still possessed powerful logistical and troop transport capabilities, it no longer had any means of securing victory.
All their nuclear weapons had been used up, and producing more would take time.
Moreover, Victor and the many commanders did not know whether the Dion Empire still possessed another Super Nuclear Explosion Missile.
Whether the enemy had another Super Nuclear Explosion Missile or not, that satellite cannon alone was enough to make the Dion Empire invincible.
It could even continue to increase the United Army's losses.
In this battle, the Earth Sphere nations that had participated suffered the greatest losses. The Nanyang Alliance, the Great African Unified Front, and others in particular suffered the most severe casualties, with the majority of fallen soldiers coming from those nations.
War correspondents from every nation watched as the United Army slunk away, its remaining force reduced to less than fifty percent of its original size.
Countless netizens immediately cursed Victor, the United Army's commander-in-chief, believing
