170: Winter is here!

At this moment in the live broadcast room, all observers gasped, even though they weren't in the instance, they still felt their blood boiling.

Too exciting! Too thrilling!

From Rommel's capture of Saint Petersburg until now, in just a few short minutes, events have undergone two major reversals!

The instance hasn't ended; Lin Ye still has hidden cards. This moment is when Winter is Coming truly becomes complete.

And Premier Xier also formulated a new combat strategy in the shortest possible time.

Whether it's the instance designer's side or the instance Challenger's side, it can be said that many people have never seen such operations in their lives.

This is definitely a top-tier battle!

“Too strong! I didn't expect Lin Ye to have a trump card!”

“But I think Lin Ye still designed the ultimate mission too simply. If it were to occupy the entire Mao Xiong Country, I think it would still be difficult. Now, having already captured one main city, to then capture the other two main cities… it doesn't feel very difficult.”

“Above, stop talking without feeling the pain. Mao Xiong Country is so big; if you wanted to occupy all of it, I'm afraid even adding everyone on Azure Star wouldn't be enough.”

“I still support Premier Xier! I feel that the instance continuing now is purely a death rattle.”

“Exactly, if Premier Xier and the Three Generals can capture one main city through micro-operations, then they can naturally capture the other two; it's just a matter of time…”

In general, more people were pessimistic about Lin Ye, as they couldn't see anything new.

There were also stage missions in the previous Raging Sea.

At that time, the first stage mission was to capture Pearl Harbor, and the ultimate mission was to defeat the Eagle Country.

That kind of mission had a huge span, and when you saw the content of the ultimate mission, it was truly despair-inducing.

But now in Winter is Coming, the first stage mission is to capture one main city, and the second stage mission is to capture the other two main cities. Just looking at the mission content makes people feel very weary.

The observers thought this way, and in fact, Rommel, one of the Three Generals, also thought the same.

Even with the mission change, he was still full of confidence.

The mission Premier Xier gave him was not difficult at all. Moscow is basically an empty city now, so allocating a portion of forces to attack it is enough; it's practically a freebie.

The difficulty lies in absolutely holding Saint Petersburg. In the coming time, Mao Xiong will definitely send a large number of troops to retake Saint Petersburg.

“Everyone, listen up!”

“Three hundred thousand Army, plus all fifty thousand Air Force from Goryeo, act immediately and attack Moscow!”

“Also…”

Rommel hadn't finished giving his orders when the ground suddenly trembled a few more times, and the snow on the church dome inside the city fell off.

Then an even stranger scene appeared.

The sky over the entire Mao Xiong Country turned fiery red, and combined with the falling snow, it gave an indescribably eerie feeling.

A strange music echoed in the ears of every Challenger.

It was a language they had never heard, but they could feel the soaring fighting spirit and passion in the song.

Moguchaya volya velikaya slava…

Tvoe dostoyanie na vse vremena…

“What's going on?”

A very ominous premonition instantly shrouded Rommel's heart.

“Sky Curtain Tip: Due to Challengers continuing to invade Mao Xiong Country after capturing its first main city, Mao Xiong Country's anger has reached its peak!”

“The 'Winter Has Arrived' phase will now begin! Mao Xiong Country receives the following BUFFs:”

…

“1. Patriotic War: The Mao Xiong people will protect their homeland at all costs! Army construction speed +500%, tank factory quantity x5, armored unit production efficiency +500%, winter resistance +100%! For freedom, for sovereignty, Mao Xiong will fight at all costs!”

“2. The True Winter: Mao Xiong Country's weather temperature will further decrease, reaching an extreme state of -100 degrees Celsius! Challengers' movement speed will also be greatly reduced, and morale will be severely impacted!”

“3. Red Will: Mao Xiong Country, White Bear Country, Blue-Mist Country, Hasar Country, Armenia Country, Esha Country, and fifteen other nations will re-form the Mao Xiong Alliance! Mao Xiong Country's military strength and territory will greatly expand!”

“PS: If Challengers invaded any of the aforementioned countries before the Mao Xiong Alliance's re-formation, the Patriotic War buff will be doubled!”

“Detection: Challengers have previously illegally invaded Esha Country, White Bear Country, and Blue-Mist Country, Patriotic War buff +300%!!!”

“4. Reforming the KGB: Mao Xiong Country will send a large number of KGB spies to infiltrate the Challenger Camp, intelligence leakage +1000%!”

“5. Enemy Rear Battleground: After the war begins, the Big Mao family will generate underground resistance organizations in occupied areas, with militia and guerrilla generation speed x10.”

“6. Magnetic Storm Interference: After the war begins, Mao Xiong will use magnetic storm devices to disrupt all Challengers' electronic equipment, and all Challengers within Mao Xiong territory will lose means of mutual contact!”

“7. Yuri's Revenge: Mao Xiong will use its special weapon: Yuri's Mind Control Device. All Challengers with a 'Mao Xiongs Fury' BUFF of level three or higher will be directly mind-controlled by Yuri into Mao Xiong Country puppets!”

“8. Secret Black Technology: Mao Xiong Country has researched many underground black technologies over the years. These black technologies were not brought to the surface due to their anti-human nature, but now, to save its country, Mao Xiong will use all of its black technology weapons!”

“9. Hand of God: Mao Xiong Country possesses nuclear weapons capable of blowing up the entire Earth Online. One hour later, if Mao Xiong finds its country still in a state of collapse, Mao Xiong will completely lose its sanity, and the consequences will be unimaginable…”

…

Looking at these dense BUFFs, Rommel's legs involuntarily went weak.

“My…”

“Oh my God.”

Just moments ago, he was full of confidence, but now he had instantly fallen into despair.

Every BUFF here is fatal; any single BUFF would be a huge problem, and now so many BUFFs are all stacked together.

Take the Patriotic War buff and the Red Will stack, for example; it means Mao Xiong's Army construction speed will increase by 20 times, and tank factories will increase by 20 times…

Even the battle-hardened Rommel couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

Crack!

A cracking sound.

Rommel found that his phone and wireless device had started emitting white smoke.

“Premier?!”

“General Manstein?!”

Rommel shouted forcefully into the device, realizing he could no longer receive any signals from his allies.

Even the Winter One channel, which had been set up from the beginning, was completely paralyzed at this moment!
