178: I'm the only one left?!

Rommel furrowed his brow, using all his strength to direct the final stages of the battle.

If things continued like this, although the 800,000-strong army could hold out in Saint Petersburg for a while longer, they were at the end of their rope.

As long as they kept fighting, relying on their abnormal mobility and destructive power, these dog-headed mech warriors would eventually destroy all the Tiger Tanks and Leopard Tanks.

This was only the Saint Petersburg Resistance Self-Defense Force, and they had already beaten him until he couldn't parry.

Sooner or later, Mao Xiong Country's main forces would arrive; how would they cope then?

Forget about attacking Moscow; even holding Saint Petersburg now was an almost impossible task.

"Don't give up!"

"General Manstein and General General Guderian will definitely come to support us after taking Volgograd!"

Even so, Rommel still shouted through a loudspeaker, boosting his soldiers' morale.

Communication was currently blocked, so he couldn't contact Premier Xier or the other two generals, nor could he know their battle situation.

But according to his analysis, Saint Petersburg must be the most difficult checkpoint, as this cursed place had a huge arsenal hidden underground.

Now, as long as he held on and waited for the other generals' rescue, this instance would surely still have a chance of victory.

"Damn it, what are the Great Harmony and South Korea people doing? Have they also been attacked?"

"Why aren't they coming to support us!"

"Or are these bastards just watching the show?"

Rommel cursed a few times.

He suddenly remembered that Great Harmony's fleet and South Korea were also in Saint Petersburg, and he had just heard their artillery fire.

Although direct communication was impossible, he could estimate their battle situation by checking the number of Challengers in the instance backend.

So Rommel directly opened the instance backend.

He didn't think much of it until he saw the number of Challengers in the instance backend at that moment, and Rommel gasped in cold air.

"What!"

"This..."

"What happened!"

[Instance Population: 4500002 / 5000000]

[Ma Country: 0 / 500000 (Annihilated)]

[War Chariot Country: 450000 / 2000000]

[Eastern Island: 1 / 1500000]

[Stick Country: 1 / 1000000]

...

What was going on!

War Chariot Country still had 450,000 troops left.

Rommel calculated that his own army had suffered significant losses in the recent fierce battle with the mech warriors, with his 800,000 troops reduced to about 450,000.

Now, the entire War Chariot Country had only 450,000 left, meaning that General Manstein and General General Guderian's armies were almost completely wiped out.

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Rommel simply could not accept such an abrupt outcome.

Manstein and General Guderian's military capabilities were both superior to his own, and their assigned task was to lure Mao Xiong Country's forces out of Mao Xiong Country, not to engage in direct combat.

Moreover, their combined forces amounted to 1.2 million, which was one and a half times more than his own.

Logically, there shouldn't have been any problems.

What was even more absurd was that the forces of Eastern Island and Stick Country each had only one person left...

Such data only gave one impression: that the system had made an error.

Rommel took a deep breath and looked up.

At this moment, there were indeed no Goryeo fighter jets visible in the sky.

"Could it be... they really were all wiped out?"

In that instant, Rommel's mind went blank.

This was too much of a trap!

He was still holding out hope for someone to come to his aid? So, in this instance, his was the only complete force left?

Then what was the point of playing?

It had only been half an hour since the start of the Patriotic War, and millions of troops were just inexplicably gone like that?!

Just then, Rommel suddenly noticed a small golden dot circling high in the sky.

He looked through his binoculars and saw that it was a golden bird hovering high above.

Even more bizarre, the fighter jet was enveloped in a red halo, like burning flames.

Soon, Rommel recognized the fighter jet from the depths of his memory.

It was the personal ride of Kim Geun-seok, the head of the Kim family chaebol from the South Goryeo Settlement—the golden bird!

The entire fuselage was made of gold, showcasing the Kim family's young master's distinguished status.

At this moment, such a decorative fighter jet appearing here seemed extremely out of place.

"Kim Geun-seok?"

"Why isn't he staying in Stick Country? What's he doing on the battlefield?"

"What can he do alone?"

Rommel thought this, feeling a mix of doubt and unease.

However, when he looked up at the sky again, he saw that the golden bird had changed its flight path and was diving straight towards him!

It shimmered with dazzling golden light, as if burning with raging flames, carrying an unstoppable might.

"Hey!"

"Kim Geun-seok!"

"What are you doing?"

Rommel shouted in horror, but Kim Geun-seok seemed completely unable to hear him.

The golden bird charged towards Rommel at an astonishing speed; he could only watch it all happen, helpless. As the distance grew shorter, Rommel could even feel a powerful gust of wind rushing towards him, making it almost impossible to breathe.

At this moment, Rommel remembered that among the several BUFFs obtained in Mao Xiong Country, there was one called Yuri's Revenge, which could turn Challengers into puppets in a strange way.

Clearly, Kim Geun-seok was in such a state!

"Someone!"

"This bastard has lost control!"

"Quickly shoot him down for me!"

Rommel wanted his subordinates to immediately use anti-aircraft weapons to intercept Kim Geun-seok.

But at this moment, there was no timely communication, and all the soldiers' energy was tied up by the mech warriors; any distraction would result in them being directly beheaded by the mech warriors, so no one could stop Kim Geun-seok.

Watching the giant golden bird getting closer and closer, Rommel's heart was filled with despair and panic.

He widened his eyes and shouted in horror:

"You... don't come over here!"

His voice trembled with fear.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the fighter jet piloted by Kim Geun-seok plunged towards the ground like a meteor.

Rommel could only widen his eyes, watching helplessly as the fighter jet charged straight towards him.

The fighter jet did not deviate from its course but accurately crashed into the armored vehicle Rommel was riding.

Instantly, flames shot into the sky, debris flew everywhere, and the powerful impact sent everything around them flying.

Rommel's armored vehicle was completely destroyed, and Kim Geun-seok's fighter jet turned into a pile of scrap metal, scattered on the ground.

The entire scene was chaotic, with dust flying and smoke billowing.
