Zhou Donglai was the first to express support.
He analyzed from a military perspective, "The geographical location of the capital is extremely critical. Recovering it will completely open up the north and south defense lines and revitalize the entire homeland defense system, which has immeasurable strategic value."
Dean Dong immediately interfaced, "Scientific Research Institute will fully cooperate unconditionally. Whatever technical support is needed, we will immediately organize the strongest force to conduct concentrated research and prioritize the needs of Frontline."
Zhao Bin also fully understood at this moment, and he immediately expressed his position.
"There is absolutely no problem with logistical support. Our Logistics Equipment Department is the most solid backing for Frontline! We will allocate, produce and transport all equipment, materials and energy with the highest efficiency to ensure the needs of the war."
Propaganda Department Wang Shuo took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This will be a great battle destined to go down in history. Our Propaganda Department sect will immediately launch the highest level publicity plan. We want every soldier to know why they are fighting, so that every citizen can see the light of hope, and gather the strength and faith of the entire nation to welcome the return of the capital."
Others also agreed.
Seeing everyone's high morale, Lin Yi felt quite pleased.
This is what he wants to see, a core of civilization that is united, confident, and dares to show its sword to fate.
Finally, Li Zhenguo concluded, "Since everyone has the same goal and firm belief, the preliminary preparations for "Capital Recovery Campaign" will be officially launched from now on. General Staff will take the lead and work with relevant departments to come up with a preliminary combat plan. Each department will immediately start all-round preparations according to their own responsibilities."
--
Four days later, in the evening.
In Central China, a small town was rebuilt based on an old industrial area.
Team "Mountain Cat" dragged a slightly tired pace into the Source Martial Army's mission hall in the settlement.
The hall was brightly lit and bustling with people, and various Yuan warriors wearing different styles of combat uniforms were coming and going, full of energy.
Today's "Mountain Cat" team is no longer the grassroots team that was struggling at the bottom.
Captain Old Cat Source Energy Unit is stable at 2800 points, Monkey is at 2500 points, Big Bear has reached 3000 points due to his unique talent, and Bamboo Pole is at 2700 points.
As for Nightingale, it is stuck at the threshold of 4990 points. It is only one step away from the second level of Stardust level, but it has always been difficult to break through.
Even so, in this small town, their team, which consists of all members Stardust level, can be regarded as a somewhat famous elite.
They had just successfully completed a cleaning mission of the peripheral area of a certain Medium Nest, and the harvest was pretty good.
Several people were sitting around the rest area in the corner of the hall, preparing to discuss how to allocate and use the merits accumulated recently. Should Nightingale be given priority to redeem resources to break through the bottleneck, or should a round of equipment be updated for everyone.
"Sister Nightingale's bottleneck is the top priority."
Monkey wiped his dagger and said, "I think Virtual Helmet's one-month usage rights in the merit mall seem to have good reviews."
Big Bear echoed angrily, "Yes, if Nightingale breaks through first, the strength of our team will increase a lot."
Bamboo Pole was quickly calculating his merits. "If you redeem the right to use the helmet, the remaining merits will be enough to buy a new weapon for Old Cat, and Monkey's dagger should also be upgraded."
Just when they were having a heated discussion.
"Beep! Beep!"
The merit bracelets on the wrists of the five people, as well as all the announcement screens in the hall, simultaneously sent out the highest priority information prompts.
A striking gold-framed pop-up window forcibly occupied the top of all display interfaces, with the words [Highest Priority Combat Task] clearly displayed on it.
"Is there an urgent mission?"
Old Cat frowned and clicked on the pop-up window.
Others also stopped their discussion and looked over.
[Combat mission announcement]
Task number: GX-001
Mission name: "Dawn Operation"--The battle to destroy the giant main nest in the capital

Registration method: Self-registration through Merit System, and unified deployment after review.
Note: This battle is about the fate of the country and the future. I hope that people with lofty ideals will join in this grand event to regain our land and rekindle the dawn.
Silence.
A deathly silence spread among the members of the "Mountain Cat" team.
After several seconds, Monkey suddenly shouted, "Holy shit! Destroy the capital's main nest?! A mission initiated by Commander Lin Yi himself?!"
Big Bear stared at the screen and pointed at the screen, "Star Core level will be dealt with by the commander himself. Doesn't this mean that we only need to fight the ones below?"
Bamboo Pole quickly scrolled through the mission details, "One hundred thousand basic merits! There is still a chance to get personal guidance from the commander?!"
Even Nightingale, who had always been calm, couldn't help but breathe quickly at this moment, and his eyes were filled with incredible light.
Old Cat slammed the table and stood up suddenly.
"It's nothing to discuss, sign up, sign up immediately! If it weren't for the 100,000 merits given by the military before, how could we have reached this level? Besides, this kind of battle may only happen once in a lifetime. If you miss it, I will not be willing to die!"
"Yes! Sign up!"
"Must go!"
There was no disagreement. Five people submitted their registration applications through merit bracelets at almost the same time.
At the same time, East Peak Military Academy's internal forum and Source Martial Army's official communication platform also completely exploded.
[Top hot post] [Live broadcast! Capital Recapture Battle registration site! I passed! Attached picture: Registration successful interface. jpg]
"Ahhh! I'm crying with envy! Which part of the host is this?"
"Passed! See you in the capital, brothers!"
"Why is my registration interface gray? It says "You currently have a garrison mission and cannot register yet"?"
"Go back upstairs and click on it to read the detailed instructions. Units with fixed combat, defense, and cleanup missions will not participate in this independent registration in principle. They will be uniformly dispatched by the military."
"I understand, it means that those who do not have any hard tasks can sign up on their own. Basically, it is based on the folk warriors."
"Damn it. So what are you waiting for? All qualified veterans can rush forward!"
"Damn it, I just took on a task to clean up Medium Nest Abyssal Beast. Is it too late to cancel it now?"
"Don't think about it. The mission system has records. If you maliciously abandon a mission, you will be deducted merit points until you want to cry."
The forum is filled with all kinds of posts of envy, jealousy, and excitement.
Those who received the notice to participate in the war or successfully registered, could not wait to frame a screenshot of the notice to show off.
Those who were unable to participate in the battle were wailing, asking whether they met the conditions, or trying to see if they could temporarily adjust their tasks.
In a teacher's office in the military academy, Chen Yu and Zhou Yuxuan also saw the mission announcement.
Chen Yu touched his chin and looked at Zhou Yuxuan: "Old Zhou, what do you say? Why don't you join in the excitement?"
Zhou Yuxuan smiled and said, "It sounds like if I say no, you won't sign up. Besides, this battle is of great significance. It is not only a training in actual combat, but also an opportunity to participate in history."
"Moreover, the mission description mentioned that a large number of elite and ordinary Leader level units need to be cleared. This is a good opportunity to test our tactics and stunts."
After saying that, he didn't hesitate at all and started operating directly on the tablet, "Sign up."
Chen Yu grinned. "I knew you would go. Then let's go together!" He also quickly submitted the registration application.
At the same time.
Distant English, London Tower.
Elizabeth just finished a day of inspection and returned to his office.
She habitually opened her personal terminal and accessed a website that required special permissions to access - East Peak Military Academy internal forum.
This is an important window for her to understand the current situation of that distant alma mater and the legendary Principal.
Soon, a post that was marked red and had an explosion of replies caught her attention.
When she clicked it and saw the content clearly, her ice-blue eyes froze instantly.
The mission to destroy the giant main nest in the capital. The capital of Xia Country.
She hardly needed to think to understand what the fall of this city meant to Xia Country, and how important its recovery would be.
However, as the strongest source warrior of English and the commander-in-chief of the English Royal Source Martial Legion, her perspective on the problem is different from others.
She soon discovered keenly that Xia Country actually recruited unlimited number of civilian warriors above Stardust level.
"This shows that they need enough manpower and must gather all their strength."
An idea came to mind uncontrollably.
She wants to go to war.
Not for the rich meritorious service, nor for the possible guidance. Although that is very tempting.
It's a more complex emotion that drives her.
Elizabeth remembered the days when she was studying at the East Peak Military Academy, the help and guidance provided by Lin Yi Principal from afar, and the miraculous remote support provided by Xia Country during the most difficult time of her motherland.
She took a deep breath, and instead of directly contacting Principal, whom she was in awe of, she dialed the communication number of Chen Yu.
The communication was quickly connected, and the holographic image of Chen Yu appeared in front of her.
"Elizabeth? Rare visitor, what's the matter?"
Chen Yu is a little surprised.
"Chen Yu, I won't be polite to you." Elizabeth got straight to the point and said in a solemn tone, "I saw the mission on the forum. I would like to sign up for this battle in my personal capacity as a private warrior. Can you help me ask?"
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then understood.
He understands Elizabeth's character and strength, and also understands the meaning behind her actions.
He pondered for a moment and nodded, "I understand. I will convey your wishes to the superiors."
After ending the communication, Elizabeth was still feeling overwhelmed.
She sat in front of the terminal, thought for a moment, and posted a post on the forum.
[[International Alumni] I am Elizabeth, an alumnus of English, and I apply to join the war!]
In the text of the post, she described in detail the great help East Peak Military Academy had brought to her personally and to the construction of English's energy defense system, and mentioned the critical remote support she received from Xia Country at English's most critical moment.
She wrote:
". We have always kept this kindness in our hearts. Now, Xia Country is about to launch such a crucial battle and openly recruit all qualified warriors. I believe that this is not only a battle for Xia Country, but also the common responsibility and honor of all Yuan warriors who benefit from the Eastern Edge system and agree with the concept of Blue Star Community.
We are eager to have the opportunity to fight side by side with Xia Country's comrades and contribute.
I think if we miss this time, with the speed of development of Xia Country Yuanwu's strength, we may never have the opportunity to repay this friendship in the future."
This post instantly detonated the entire international alumni section.
"Support Elizabeth seniors and Russia Eastern Edge graduates in applying to compete."
"France Eastern Edge students are here, count me in!"
"Junkerd branch branch report, how can you miss such a grand event?"
"America Eastern Edge said that we must participate in this epoch-making battle."
"Although we come from different countries, we have the same alma mater and wear the same emblem. We ask to join the war!"
Below the post, East Peak Branch Campus graduates and students from all over the world left messages one after another, and there were a large number of responders.
The hot spot index instantly exploded, even surpassing many domestic discussion posts.
