Tens of millions of Eldia people in every corner of the world erupted into unprecedented unrest after receiving the announcement of the Rumbling. Word soon spread through them to the entire world, and governments immediately convened emergency meetings.
On the Suder battlefield, ninety percent of the German Army's elite troops had already been wiped out. At the cost of eleven million soldiers killed or wounded, the Soviet Army had annihilated all four million elite German troops who had invaded its capital and begun a full counteroffensive against Drus. Yet as the Soviet Army won victory after victory and steadily reclaimed lost territory, orders arrived from the rear to halt the offensive immediately.
The Soviet Army commander flew into a rage, but when he learned that the Rumbling was approaching, he fell into a daze.
The Soviet Army's sudden halt gave the German Army a chance to catch its breath, and it immediately began preparing defensive lines. But an order from the rear also reached the German commander. He accepted it in silence, without a word.
Soon, another announcement left every soldier stunned: the Suros Alliance had declared a ceasefire with Drus Country and entered an alliance to fight the Eldia Empire together. The news caused an uproar.
The bitter hatred between the two sides prompted fierce protests from the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front lines. But when Hilleri and Skayev announced that all the tens of millions of Colossal Titans on Paradis Island had been released, everyone fell silent.
After seeing Suros and Drus reconcile, many discerning people in smaller countries felt they had glimpsed a ray of hope.
Skayev, who had already ordered nationwide mobilization, immediately conscripted another ten million farmers, even though every seven or eight men would have to share a single fowling gun.
