34: Comprehensive sanctions against raging seas and raging waves!

Just then, Yamashiro Kojiro also rushed in.

"Mr. Ito, this is bad!"

"The arsenal is in chaos now, and the Challengers have lost their fighting spirit."

"What should we do?"

Ito Hidekazu let out a long breath, the anxiety and tension in his heart dissipating like mist.

As the commander, he had to be calm now, absolutely not allowing himself to panic, and even less allowing his emotions to affect other Challengers.

If that happened, he would completely fall for Lin Ye's trick.

Now, it was just that the mission difficulty had increased, which didn't mean there was no hope.

But if every Challenger was too scared to continue working, that would be a true mission failure.

So, he went directly to the loudspeaker in the command room and began to address everyone in the arsenal.

"Everyone, have you forgotten the oath you made when you entered the dungeon? Have you forgotten our Bushido spirit?"

A huge voice echoed throughout the arsenal.

"What you said before, 'For the Emperor,' was it just a joke?"

Ito Hidekazu paused for a moment, his emotions clearly agitated as well.

"If you give up now, you will surely die; only by persevering do you have hope of survival."

"For you, there is no other choice now; you can only believe in me, believe in the Emperor!"

Ito Hidekazu's words were indeed very infectious. After this rousing speech, the Challengers all calmed down.

"Actually, our chances are very high. Even if the mission time is halved, our chances are still very high."

"As long as everyone uses their brains more and tries their best to exploit the NPCs on East Japan Island, we can definitely do it!"

"So... don't be afraid anymore. Learn to face fear, learn to conquer it!"

"As long as you clear this dungeon, each of you will be a hero of my Great Harmony Settlement!"

After another impassioned speech, the Challengers once again became fervent.

"For the Emperor!"

"For Mr. Ito!"

"For Aircraft Carrier technology!"

After self-brainwashing, they quickly returned to work.

Ito Hidekazu also let Yamashiro Kojiro leave first, while he himself collapsed onto the sofa.

It was too difficult.

It was truly too difficult.

He had to admit that Lin Ye was indeed a genius at playing with other people's emotions.

Especially by setting up missions to bring endless mental pressure to the Challengers.

Under such immense pressure, the strength of each Challenger would inevitably be discounted.

"It's useless, Lin Ye!"

"I won't fall for your trick a second time!"

"Although the mission's penalty has increased, the mission's reward is also doubling. I will definitely lead these twenty thousand people to capture your Raging Sea."

But before Ito Hidekazu could fully catch his breath, the world before his eyes was instantly dyed a blood-red color!

It was as if the entire universe was submerged in spilled blood, a dazzling red, a suffocating red.

Countless invisible red lights flashed wildly all around, and the alarm sound was sharp and piercing, like sharp blades cutting his eardrums, stimulating his nerve endings.

"What... what happened again?"

Immediately after, the Sky Curtain's prompt appeared again!

"[In response to your actions, Eagle Country will implement comprehensive sanctions on East Japan Island! You will face Eagle Country's true "Raging Sea"!]"

"Sanctions?"

"What the hell is this again?"

On Azure Star, everything was controlled by the Sky Curtain with the highest authority.

Whether it was the resources or the economy of various Settlements, they were all subject to unified macro-control by the Sky Curtain.

So Ito Hidekazu completely did not understand what this so-called "sanction" meant.

But his confusion did not last long, because the Sky Curtain directly answered him.

"[Challenger, Eagle Country has listed East Japan Island as a global enemy! You will now be subject to the following sanctions:]"

"[1. Energy Sanctions: On the planet, most oil-exporting countries will cease trade with your country, and the few exporting countries willing to continue trade with you will increase oil export prices by more than thirty times!]

"[Please control your country's oil as soon as possible, otherwise, with your oil reserves, you will completely run out in a very short time!]

"[2. Technology Sanctions: Eagle Country will stop sharing technology with you, but most of your country's industries are centered on Eagle Country technology. Losing technological support, the production efficiency of most industries in your country will decrease by more than 50%!]

"[Please find alternative technologies as soon as possible, otherwise, within two days, production in various industries in your country will enter a standstill!]

"[3. Trade Sanctions: Most countries on the planet will cease bilateral trade with you, your country's material exports will decrease by 90%, and you will lose 50% of your import channels for goods.]"

"[Please control materials as soon as possible, otherwise your country will experience severe deficits in various materials within one day!]

"[4. Financial Sanctions: Your country will no longer be able to use the mainstream currency, the US dollar. All US dollars reserved in your country will be invalidated, and your country's local currency will also be frozen worldwide!]

"[5. Administrative Sanctions: Eagle Country will infiltrate your country's political party system, fund your country's resistance forces, and incite large-scale unrest, making all Challengers' control over East Japan Island precarious!]

"[6. Public Opinion Sanctions: Eagle Country will spread your country's numerous crimes worldwide, greatly reducing your country's international reputation and affecting the trust of all citizens on East Japan Island!]

...

In an instant, countless Sky Curtain prompts scrolled rapidly before Ito Hidekazu's eyes, making him dizzy.

But the Sky Curtain showed no sign of stopping, continuously popping up prompts.

Finally, Ito Hidekazu counted, and there were actually hundreds of these sanction articles! All kinds of DEBUFFs were piled onto the Challenger Camp.

Ito Hidekazu felt a daze and once again slumped onto the sofa.

Following this, various data for East Japan Island rapidly declined. The gross output value, which had been so hard to raise, now showed negative growth!

"Why! Why can it be played like this?"

"The setting of this dungeon is too unreasonable, isn't it? Why can Eagle Country directly influence various matters on East Japan Island?"

"Sky Curtain, this is simply unreasonable! A hostile force that can forcibly control me makes it impossible to achieve a comeback!"

Ito Hidekazu roared directly, his voice hoarse from anger.

"[Sky Curtain Prompt: All settings of this dungeon have been reviewed by the Sky Curtain to ensure their reasonableness! This is beyond doubt!]

"[It was your actions, Challenger, that triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions. If you had orderly controlled East Japan Island from the beginning or chosen to concede during Eagle Country's anger event, none of the later events would have occurred.]"
