166: St. Petersburg has been captured!
“Next, it’s time for our German Army soldiers to make their move!”
“Charge! Take Saint Petersburg!”
“We must not fail to live up to the trust our superiors have placed in us!”
On the land, the tank treads mercilessly crushed the city boundaries, their turrets rotating, aiming and destroying all remaining resistance.
Shells sprayed from the muzzles, piercing walls, destroying tall towers, and turning all life and buildings into ashes.
The tanks’ machine guns also continuously swept, mercilessly knocking down everything that moved. The entire city seemed to be swallowed by an irresistible force!
Planes in the sky, warships on the sea, and tanks on the land, their firepower interwove into a web of death, mercilessly destroying this once prosperous city.
The flames of explosions reddened the sky, smoke obscured the sun, the city wailed in the flames of war, and life perished in destruction.
As the last wave of attacks subsided, the city gradually fell silent.
“Hahaha ha ha!”
“With this success, I, Rommel, will be the greatest militarist in the world!”
Rommel burst into laughter, sitting on top of an armored vehicle, entering Saint Petersburg with the main force.
He smoked a cigar while admiring the white city.
The devastation before his eyes proved one thing: Saint Petersburg had been completely destroyed!
The once bustling streets were now empty, with only the bruised bodies of civilians lying on the ground.
The red of blood, the white of snow, and the black of ash…
These were the colors of the apocalypse!
Occasionally, explosions and the roar of collapsing buildings broke the deadly silence.
Tanks and armored vehicles slowly drove into the city center, their treads leaving deep marks on the broken streets, crushing all the accumulated snow into powder.
Fully armed Challengers cautiously searched every corner, their eyes vigilant, their weapons ready to respond to any possible resistance.
Buildings were riddled with bullet holes, windows shattered, and walls covered with black marks left by explosions. The streets were littered with the debris of various items, cars burned, leaving only twisted metal frames.
Soon, Rommel arrived at the government center of Saint Petersburg, which had already been thoroughly swept by the Challengers who arrived earlier.
Ensuring that there were no more living Mao Xiong inside.
The Challengers had already lined up in neat formations on the plaza outside the building, silently watching Rommel at the very front.
Waiting for their Commander to deliver his victory speech!
“Comrades, Challengers, clansmen!”
“This main city has been completely cleared by us!”
“This victory belongs to Premier Xier, to General Manstein and General General Guderian… and even more so to each of us!”
As he spoke, Rommel raised a fox flag, symbolizing his legion, and planted it in front of the Saint Petersburg government building.
“I declare that Saint Petersburg has been occupied!”
At the same time, a Sky Curtain notification sounded in everyone's ears.
【Challengers have completely occupied Saint Petersburg!】
【All surviving Challengers have completed Task One: Occupy any one of Mao Xiong’s three main cities: Moscow, Volgograd, Saint Petersburg!】
【…】
The Challengers no longer cared what the Sky Curtain was going to say next.
In an instant, they all erupted, embracing each other and cheering enthusiastically.
Some even began to excitedly kiss and lift each other up.
“Fuck! We finally won!”
“Won? We won?”
“We broke through the most difficult instance, we defeated Lin Ye!”
“Hahaha! All of Lin Ye’s technology will be plundered by us!”
“Awesome! Awesome, awesome, awesome!”
“This is the most satisfying victory of my life.”
From the moment they entered the instance, their emotions were tense, and now they could finally be released.
The Challengers in the government square were going crazy with joy, and the instance live stream also simultaneously erupted.
【Holy shit! Did they really win?!】
【They actually defeated Lord Ye? Bah! What Lord Ye! There are no gods in this world! Because man can conquer nature!】
【German is really too strong. Although I don’t understand Premier Xier’s operations, a win is a win, a win is amazing, a win is king!】
【Kim Geun-seok and Takakawa, come over immediately and kowtow to the German!】
【I think the one who should kowtow most is Lin Ye! No, no, no… Lin Ye should be eliminated now.】
【Lin Ye is going to die, Raging Sea and Winter is Coming are both going to disappear, this is a great joyous occasion for everyone!】
【You idiots above, have you forgotten the anti-elimination card that Great Xia Settlement’s Long Yuan used for Lin Ye? Lin Ye won’t die.】
【You above, you’re the idiot. So what if he doesn’t die? Lin Ye has already lost the bet, he has to hand over the technology!】
【Can he hide for a while, can he hide forever? Winter is Coming has been broken, and many instance guides will appear next!】
【…】
These spectators didn't understand so many trivial things. They didn't care about tactics, nor did they care about the instance mission progress.
They only knew one thing: Lin Ye’s undefeated golden body had truly been broken this time!
Isn't this enough for everyone to enjoy the show?
…
At this moment, in the President's Office of the Blue House.
Kim Geun-seok sat at the table, looking at the screen in the light curtain, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he clenched his fists tightly and wildly punched the air!
He was so excited that he jumped directly onto the table.
“Great!”
“Truly… Heaven does not forsake my Korean people!”
“Hmph! Lin Ye, aren’t you arrogant? Aren’t you amazing? This is what you get for offending the Korean people!”
“Do you think only military technology counts as ability? The Korean people can bring in reinforcements, that is the ability of the Korean people!!!”
Due to the extreme emotional fluctuation, Kim Geun-seok’s tears even flowed out.
His pressure during this period was simply too great!
Especially after Park Chengwan left the instance, his nerves had been constantly tense.
It could be said that no one had more pressure than him, because ultimately, the entire matter originated from him.
If he had truly lost this time, he would be the eternal sinner of South Korea, with no chance of ever recovering!
Fortunately, in the very end, this group of Aryans from the German Settlement held on.
In fact, seeing the German ground forces, Kim Geun-seok still felt a bit wistful. South Korea’s 'Strong Clan Plan' these past few years was actually just superficial.
Their ground combat capability was simply not on the same level as German.
If he had tanks like German, and cannons like German, then the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
But thinking about that was meaningless now.
After the instance victory, South Korea still had plenty of time to strengthen itself.
As for Great Xia Settlement and Lin Ye, who lost the bet.
Haha…
They would never have a chance to recover again.
