167: Are we really going to win?

… …

Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Garden Pine Pavilion on the Eastern Island.

Takakawa stared at the Sky Curtain, a very complex expression on his face.

Won?

Are they really going to win?

Watching Rommel plant his battle flag in front of the Saint Petersburg government building, a myriad of emotions surged in Takakawa’s heart.

He was naturally relieved, because winning was always better than losing!

Originally, with Yamamoto Thirty-eight’s defeat and the Great Harmony Navy’s heavy losses, Takakawa had already lost some hope.

As a result, Shil and the Three Generals turned the tide, and incredibly, they managed to flip this game!

After the Dungeon ended, as one of the winners of this Dungeon, he could also randomly obtain a certain technology from the Dungeon.

His strength would inevitably increase, and then he would slowly climb back to LV4.

“Lin Ye! I didn’t expect the grudge between you and Great Harmony to be settled so quickly.”

“Blame yourself for being too arrogant, for picking up a rock only to drop it on your own foot.”

“If you had kept the number of people between 1 million and 2 million, those idiots from South Korea would never have been able to defeat you.”

Takakawa had not constantly observed external influences like bullet comments in the Dungeon, so he did not know that Dragon Abyss had already activated anti-elimination protection for Lin Ye.

He had always believed that if this Dungeon challenge was successful, Lin Ye would surely die!

Thinking that this Great Xia bastard, who had brought him to such a state, was about to die, Takakawa felt a bit uncomfortable…

He wasn’t feeling regret for Lin Ye, or hero cherishing hero, but rather, he was very jealous of Shil, jealous of Rommel.

How wonderful it would be if the person standing in front of the Saint Petersburg government hall at this moment was him, Takakawa.

That way, his prestige in the Great Harmony Settlement would immediately turn around, and he could completely wash away the shame of his failure in the Raging Sea and Surging Waves Dungeon.

Returning to the position of Emperor would also be a sure thing.

In the current situation, even if they won, it was clearly a 'lie-down win,' carried by the German Ear Settlement.

The Great Harmony fleet was riddled with holes in Vladivostok, and then directly handed over command to Shil. A victory under such circumstances held no honor for Takakawa.

At most, he had completed the task given to him by the new Emperor, Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

There was one more thing that truly made Takakawa envious.

That was the current strength of the German Ear Settlement…

You don’t know until you look; the gap is simply too large.

If the German Ear Settlement people were to obtain Lin Ye’s core technology next, all the Settlements on Azure Star would be completely crushed by German.

And Shil would very likely leap to become the NO.1 among all Dungeon Designers!

Takakawa rubbed his temples, pulling himself out of this emotion.

At this moment, it was meaningless to be so worried about gains and losses.

Whether it was a 'lie-down win' or a win achieved by himself, as long as he won, it was a good thing.

What he was more concerned about now was what kind of technology he could obtain from Lin Ye’s Dungeon next.

Clearly, nuclear weapons technology was the most cutting-edge thing in Lin Ye’s Dungeon.

Whichever Challenger was lucky enough to obtain this type of technology would instantly become a top-tier expert on Azure Star!

-------------------------------------

Great Xia Settlement.

The Report Hall of the Dungeon Design Center.

Watching the screen showing Rommel breaking through Saint Petersburg, the entire Report Hall was filled with sighs.

Some were happy, some were sad.

The German were enjoying the joy of victory, but for Great Xia, they truly couldn’t be happy at all.

Although Lin Ye was protected by Dragon Abyss’s anti-elimination special effect card and would not die no matter what, the losses for Great Xia were self-evident.

Failing to defend the Dungeon meant losing the bet with South Korea, and next, for the sake of the Settlement’s image, Great Xia would have to reconcile with South Korea.

Given the style of those sticks from South Korea, they would definitely take an inch and ask for a mile.

The main issue was the decline in morale.

Great Xia had been in decline for too long; it was not easy for a Lin Ye to appear and boost the morale of the clan, but now it was extinguished halfway.

It was imaginable how low the public’s mood would be next.

If you also factor in Dragon Abyss’s loss of ten million points, and the direct impact on the Settlement’s treatment, then it was truly a huge loss!

“Everyone, don’t be too pessimistic…” Ding Chang stood up and said.

“Although the Dungeon wasn’t defended, the strength Lin Ye displayed in the Dungeon is still very exquisite; we can still trust Lin Ye.”

“Victory and defeat are common in war; losing to the number one German on Azure Star is actually not a shameful thing.”

“Fortunately, the leader helped us keep Lin Ye; this loss is acceptable to us.”

Ding Chang clearly knew that he had to stabilize everyone’s emotions now.

They absolutely could not lose confidence in Lin Ye, because next, the progress of the Great Xia Settlement would still be inseparable from Lin Ye.

Of course, as an old acquaintance of Lin Ye, he also spontaneously wanted to explain a bit for Lin Ye.

“Old Ding, we’re not pessimistic, we just feel it’s a pity.” General Li Yunlong lit a cigarette and took a puff, somewhat dejectedly.

“In terms of true strength, none of us are as good as Lin Ye. To last so long under the combined attack of five million Challengers, this is already a genius among geniuses!”

“Damn it, I don’t think anyone will object to me saying this, whoever can do it, go for it! Try it under the joint attack of Great Harmony, South Korea, and German!”

Saying that, General Li Yunlong shook his head with some regret.

“It’s just a pity, Lin Ye raised the number of people too much this time; five million people is still too high a risk.”

“If he had played it safe, the outcome might not be what it is now.”

General Li Yunlong actually spoke everyone’s thoughts.

No one blamed him; everyone just felt it was a pity.

If it weren’t for too many people, if the German hadn’t participated, the outcome would truly be unknown!

“Old Li, stop talking, I think we should discuss how to clean up the mess next.” Ding Chang coughed twice and said.

Just as a group of people were about to start discussing, the leader Dragon Abyss was still staring intently at the Sky Curtain.

“It’s already been three minutes…”

“Tsk tsk, three minutes.”

Dragon Abyss suddenly said this, leaving everyone a bit confused.

“Old Dragon, what are you saying?”

Dragon Abyss picked up his large teacup, gulped down a big mouthful, and then looked somewhat helplessly at Ding Chang, General Li Yunlong, and the others.

“What are you people doing, being so anxious?”

“This Dungeon clearly isn’t over yet!”

“It’s been three minutes. Usually, when a Dungeon ends, at the latest within three minutes, the Sky Curtain will complete all score calculations and then teleport everyone out of the Dungeon.”

“Now, three minutes have passed in the Dungeon, and nothing has happened.”
