158: The Battle of Xier

Inside the War Chariot Country's Premier Xier's headquarters.

Xier took a sip of coffee and let out a long breath.

Then, she wiped her face with a damp towel to dispel her fatigue.

Afterward, she continued to draw on her easel.

Each stroke and sketch was a moment for her to unleash her thoughts, and even more, to suppress the rage in her heart.

As early as when she first entered the instance, she had anticipated all of this.

Great Harmony and South Korea were pure deadweights; their so-called alliance was simply there to drain the blood of the German Settlement in the instance, completely unreliable.

The reason Xier agreed to form an alliance to attack Winter is Coming was not because she truly believed Great Harmony and South Korea would offer her any real assistance.

She entered the instance simply to appreciate Lin Ye and to experience the strength of this currently hot Designer.

She came to enjoy the instance, not for Park Chengwan, and certainly not for those ridiculous Koreans.

Now that the useless ones would no longer hold her back, her instance war had truly just begun.

She vigorously applied paint to the easel, her entire being having fallen into a state of intense fervor.

It was an instinct for war.

Mao Xiong Country crippling South Korea and Great Harmony effortlessly, and directly eliminating Ma Country, was originally extremely disadvantageous to the Challenger Camp.

But Xier felt increasingly excited!

Because this meant Mao Xiong Country was strong, unimaginably strong.

Much stronger than any instance force Xier had ever faced!!!

At this moment, Xier felt her soul ascend.

It had been too long since she had experienced such a powerful instance, even rare in her life!!!

"Lin Ye... what an interesting young man."

"Haha, what an exquisite instance! I must thoroughly enjoy the thrill this war brings."

Xier actually started talking to herself, and in her excitement, she began to gesticulate wildly.

The Sky Curtain prompts: Esteemed Commander of War Chariot Country, Commander Takakawa of Great Harmony has handed over all the Challengers under his command to you for management!

Commander Takakawa of South Korea has handed over all the Challengers under his command to you for management!

You have become the supreme Commander of the instance! You possess all privileges of the instance and can view the first-person perspective of all existing Challengers.

...

The Sky Curtain prompts: The Challenger forces have suffered heavy losses. Please rally and lead the remaining Challengers in the subsequent battles!

In an instant, Xier felt the world become much clearer, because the blood-sucking scoundrels had finally rolled away!

She no longer had to listen to Kim Geun-seok and Takakawa's nonsense in the channel!

She opened the light screen, observing the movements of her three generals.

While Great Harmony and South Korea were attacking, Xier's side was not idle.

Instead, they had already begun to lay out their plans while Mao Xiong's attention was elsewhere!

She had already dispatched her three generals, dividing their forces into three routes, moving towards Mao Xiong Country's northwestern border.

At this moment, Manstein, General Guderian, and Rommel, each leading a legion, had already reached the Mao Xiong border.

Manstein's German First Legion took the closest western route and is currently stationed in a place called White Bear Country. This location is very, very close to Mao Xiong Country's smallest main city, Volgograd. As soon as Xier gives the order, Manstein can reach the Volgograd border within an hour.

General Guderian's Second Legion is stationed in a city called Tallinn in Esha Country, which is only a stone's throw away from Mao Xiong Country's main city, Moscow. They can strike at Mao Xiong's throat and heart at any time.

And Rommel, the most skilled in guerrilla warfare and field combat among the Three Generals, took the farthest western route. He has now led his troops across the Baltic Sea and arrived at an area called Manselkai Hills.

This place, named hills, is actually Mao Xiong Country's border. Once crossed, they can quickly attack Mao Xiong's second main city, Saint Petersburg.

During this migration, the Three Generals also passed through many third-party countries, but these were basically very weak entities.

Some countries were still blank, with no combat power whatsoever, feeling like countries Lin Ye had not yet thoroughly designed.

While other countries, though possessing troops, could generally be eliminated with a brief engagement, unlike powerful entities such as Dragon Country.

This indicates that this area was not Lin Ye's primary design focus, and naturally, it implies that this area is relatively weak.

"General Manstein, General General Guderian, General Rommel, what are your reconnaissance findings?" Xier asked via communication device.

Previously, she had instructed the three to use reconnaissance equipment to observe the situation in the three main cities, and there should be results by now.

"Premier Xier, the troop deployment here in Moscow is rather ordinary. There are some tanks on patrol, but overall, it's quite loose."

"Saint Petersburg has approximately two tank divisions and an Air Force detachment."

"Reporting, Premier, Volgograd has almost no troop deployment. They must have all gone to attack Ma Country."

Hearing these replies, Xier nodded with satisfaction.

Indeed, just as she had thought, Mao Xiong Country's military strength was indeed limited.

The battle in Vladivostok had drawn away a large number of naval and Air Forces.

And the war in Ma Country had almost completely drained Mao Xiong of all its land combat forces.

As a result, the defensive forces of the three main cities are currently not abundant.

"Hmph... Lee Tae-yong, that good-for-nothing, wasn't entirely useless after all," Rommel said with a laugh.

"He enraged Mao Xiong Country, causing Mao Xiong to deploy its navy, army, and Air Force. Now, most of Mao Xiong's forces are concentrated within Ma Country, and they likely won't be able to withdraw them anytime soon."

"Premier, this is indeed our best opportunity to attack Mao Xiong!"

"Yes! Please decide, which main city should we attack?" Manstein asked in the channel.

Xier gently stroked her easel, answering calmly.

"We will implement a three-step strategy."

"First, General Manstein will lead troops to directly attack Volgograd. Be sure to attack quickly, and retreat immediately if you encounter enemy forces! Then rendezvous with General General Guderian."

"While General Manstein is attacking, General General Guderian will also advance towards the main city of Moscow. Once you two converge, attack Moscow simultaneously!"

"And General Rommel, once Moscow is attacked, Saint Petersburg will definitely send reinforcements. At that moment, I want you to attack Saint Petersburg with all your might!"

"Saint Petersburg is our ultimate goal! I will send Great Harmony's navy and the Korean Air Force to support you!"
