Infinity VS Eternity!
Time passed day by day, and the sun rose and set in the sky.
Garp, Newgate, Kaido, Linlin, and King Harald led a group of elite officers including Shiryu, King, Marco, Oven, Daifuku, Onigumo, and Doberman.
In addition, there Giant Unit of two thousand men, Kabaneri Corps of three hundred men, and nearly a million Army troops passing through the Star Gate.
They engaged in an unprecedented world-class offensive and defensive war with World Allied Forces of tens of millions on the western side of the peninsula.
Five days have passed since Redfield and his two companions left by plane.
The World Allied Forces spent years and countless amounts of wealth, resources, and manpower to build twelve super defense lines, but under the attack from both sides by the World Government, only two lines remain on the verge of collapse.
As for the previously impressive army of tens of millions, the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of heavy howitzers, hundreds of 'Thunder Spear' armored vehicles, and the Air Force fleet composed of thousands of biplanes and airships.
It has now been completely wiped out.
Heavy howitzers and 'Thunder Spear' were naturally confiscated.
Sakazuki is directing Army soldiers to pull them into the Star Gate and then hand them over to a team sent by the General Staff for repair or recovery.
As for the soldiers who resisted with guns, they were all slaughtered.
The number of corpses was so great that the Army had to allocate more troops to carry them to the east side of the peninsula and then throw them into the lava lake to be burned.
"Hey, are they surrendering?"
Inside the High Command on the Sea Star Homeworld, Fleet Admiral Raymond stared in astonishment at the holographic projection on the table.
In the middle section of the eighth line of defense below, three middle-aged men dressed in white military uniforms, with various medals on their chests, walked out holding a white flag.
Their faces were filled with fear and tension as they trembled and stared at Garp, Newgate, and the others not far away, as if they were facing a group of demons or monsters.
These three men were none other than Calvi, the Minister of Defense of Marley; Army General Dio Magath; and Marshal Monte Nega, the Fleet Admiral of the Middle East Alliance.
As the supreme representatives of the World Allied Forces, they request to surrender!
We simply can't continue fighting. Those damned 'Rumbling' are unable to break through the enemy's defenses and flood into their world, while our own defenses are completely unable to withstand the various incredible supernatural attacks from these Otherworld monsters.
"Damn it, that bastard Eren, he lied to us!!"
Minister Calvi gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
Since Eren has the ability to Future Sight, he must have known beforehand that they would be defeated, yet he still told them that they would definitely win and that the Rumbling was invincible?
I really believed his lies!
"How about I kill them for you all?"
Across from him, Shiryu, with a smoking cigar in his mouth, took two steps forward, glanced around, and grinned as he asked.
Although he was somewhat tired of killing these weak, ant-like Otherworld beings, he knew that the three people in front of him were definitely big fish, and killing them should earn him a lot of military merits.
But who among those present didn't understand this principle?
"Hehehe, no need to trouble you, I can do it myself~~"
Crocodile, also with a cigar dangling from his mouth, stepped out with a mocking smile, completely oblivious to the intense killing intent emanating from Shiryu and his eyes gradually turning crimson.
Since Kuzan froze the seas on three sides of the peninsula two days ago, he no longer needed to guard the Star Gate and could directly participate in the attack on the defense line.
"That's right, and that's exactly what I wanted to say to you, you stupid crocodile."
At that moment, Bullet, with a cigar dangling from his lips, also spoke. He crossed his arms, glanced at Crocodile, and the black Justice banner behind him fluttered in the smoke-filled wind.
Both he and Crocodile were Army Admiral Candidate, so they valued military achievements highly and each wanted to be promoted to the rank of Admiral before the other.
Shiryu, on the other hand, hoped to become a candidate for Admiral so that he would no longer have to be Akainu's second-in-command.
And so, the group stood facing each other on the devastated battlefield, neither willing to yield, their imposing aura visibly rising.
In the crowd, Aramaki opened his mouth as if to say that he also wanted this military merit, but feeling the oppressive atmosphere, he didn't dare to speak.
After all, he's just a lowly colonel now.
"The High Command orders that these three men be taken back to the mainland and imprisoned, while the rest be executed on the spot!"
Just then, Sakazuki's imposing voice rang out from behind the group, and his tall figure in a red suit drew everyone's attention.
This caused Shiryu, Bullet, Crocodile to lower their guard.
"Um?"
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble, and the tremor grew stronger. Edward Newgate, the 'Earthquake Man,' was most sensitive to this tremor and immediately looked up to the far west.
"It's not those things again, is it?"
Everyone present was familiar with this feeling, Charlotte Oven said with a headache. After playing for so many days in a row, his stamina was starting to give out.
But things always tend to turn out badly.
Really.
Before long, billowing white steam appeared on the distant horizon, obscuring the sky and the thumping footsteps made one frown.
It's the Rumbling the Rumbling again!
Row upon row of endless, towering Wall Titan swept across the land, their scale far exceeding the previous three-sided encirclement, for they came from the more expansive inland direction.
If the previous 'Rumbling' was at most in the millions, then what we see before us is a true 'sea of Titans' in the tens of millions!
"This is troublesome."
Onigumo's expression turned grim as he spoke in a deep voice.
Because he was running out of energy, he thought he could go back to rest soon, but little did he know that the real battle was just beginning.
It's not just him and Oven.
The five or six days of war had killed nearly ten million people. Facing the bombardment of nearly ten thousand heavy artillery pieces, apart from monsters like Garp, Newgate, Linlin, Kaido, Bullet, most of the Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral were already exhausted.
Even Crocodile Shiryu need at least a day or two of rest to recover their energy and stamina.
"You all go back and rest, I'll take care of things here."
Just then, Sakazuki went to meet the Rumbling alone, but Garp frowned and said to him, "You're not planning to create an active volcano, are you?"
"Is there any other way besides this?"
Sakazuki stopped, turned to look at Garp, and asked him a question in return before stating his own thoughts.
"According to intelligence from the High Command, there are at least tens of millions of these Titans, and they may even be endless. I personally think that sending you up to fight them would be a completely pointless waste of energy."
"In that case, wouldn't it be the best option to use a few perpetually erupting volcanoes and lava flows to hold off this almost limitless army of Titans?"
After listening, Garp realized that what he said made sense.
However, this would essentially ruin the environment of the region. He knew that Sakazuki could only create active volcanoes, but he couldn't control their disappearance.
"Forget it, I'll just blow up the volcano with my fists and then have that kid Kuzan come and put out the Horobi."
