Chapter 142 Failure was inevitable; a desperate struggle between players.
The implication was simple.
It was nothing more than: if I have to die, then we all die together!
Even without the disaster brought by Player No. 21, Strategist No. 67 would never let Player No. 21 escape this incident!
His mindset had always been that even in death, he would drag someone down with him!
"Friend... you...!"
Seeing the Ice Country Grand Commander beside him suddenly turn hostile, Player No. 21's expression became particularly ugly.
He hadn't expected that the plot, which had been developing according to his predictions, would undergo such a drastic change in such a short time.
He also hadn't expected that his colleague had harbored this thought about him from the very beginning.
"Friend?"
"Do you still consider me a friend?"
"If you really considered me a friend, why didn't you guide this disaster toward others, instead of bringing it to me?"
"I think you just wanted to push me out to be the scapegoat!"
Having said that, Strategist No. 67 didn't give his 'good friend' a chance to defend himself.
He immediately shouted outside the Grand Governors Residence: "Bodyguards!"
"Lock this bastard up for me!"
The bodyguards in formal attire quickly rushed into the room and dragged the sullen-faced Player No. 21 out of the Grand Governors Residence.
Just as Player No. 21 was being locked up in Ice Country, the system's notification barrage quietly flashed before every Strategist.
The content was as follows:
【System Notification: President of Maguo [Player No. 21] has now been imprisoned by Ice Country Grand Commander [Strategist No. 67]!】
Once this news came out, not only the Strategists in the war world, but even the players watching the war live stream were completely dumbfounded!
【What, what is going on here?】
【Strategist No. 67 just locked up Player No. 21 directly; this move is way too insane!】
【From the conversation between the two Strategists, it's clear that Strategist No. 67 wants to drag Player No. 21 down with him, so he has someone to cushion his fall when he fails!】
【This is truly disgusting!】
【Disgusting? Why don't you talk about the sanctions Player No. 21 brought upon Strategist No. 67?】
【Yeah, originally Ice Country, where Strategist No. 67 is, could have developed peacefully for a while just like other countries, but because of Player No. 21's arrival, everything is gone.】
【The blades of the five permanent members have already been unsheathed, and various weapons are about to arrive on Ice Country territory; Strategist No. 67 is completely finished!】
【Since everything was brought by Player No. 21, is there a problem with having him be buried with him?】
The audience who hoped players could conquer [colorful] were dissatisfied with Strategist No. 67's actions.
Because in their view, Player No. 21 held the greatest initiative in the [colorful] world, and with him there, players were more likely to conquer this Activity dungeon with an S-rating difficulty!
But other sections of the audience felt that Strategist No. 67 did the right thing!
After all, the disaster itself was brought by Player No. 21.
Strategist No. 67 could not be expected to accept this disaster without any resentment or anger.
Him imprisoning Player No. 21 was completely understandable.
If it were anyone else, they would have captured this person at this time to serve as a cushion for their own death!
The barrage, like a torrential flood, flashed by rapidly.
Time in the real world ticked away bit by bit, and correspondingly, several hours had passed in the war world.
The unsheathed blades of the five permanent members had already arrived in the offensive zone!
"Whoosh — —"
As the azure seawater was pushed to both sides, the hegemon-level power from the western world, [Raging Waves], arrived with their pride and joy: the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet!
This time, [Raging Waves] dispatched a total of four carrier strike groups!
They were also accompanied by nuclear submarines in stealth mode!
From this, one can see how highly [Raging Waves] valued this special sanction!
"Swish, swish, swish — —"
And following [Raging Waves]'s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet, the ace air forces of [Setting Suns Afterglow] and [Iron Tower Remains] arrived!
The ace air forces formed by these two permanent members possessed extremely strong air combat capabilities globally!
They would definitely be able to secure air superiority in the shortest amount of time!
"Boom — —"
The last to appear were the sanction weapons of [Winter is Coming] and [Great Wall Watch]!
Amidst thunderous roars, [Winter is Coming]'s national-level divine artifact, the God of North Wind, made its grand entrance!
This god-level nuclear submarine, possessing world-destroying power, did not hide its itinerary at all.
Its appearance was nothing more than a high-profile announcement to the whole world: [Winter is Coming] came here this time to destroy Ice Country!
Shifting the gaze from the 'God of North Wind' to the other side, one could see the luan bird aerospace carrier flying at a low altitude!
Witnessing all the unsheathed blades of the five permanent members through the war perspective, all players who had entered the war world were dumbfounded.
"This, this..."
"No way, is it really necessary to use such terrifying weapons just to eradicate a mere Ice Country?"
"The scale of the weapons mobilized by the five permanent members is enough to start a total war!"
"Are they attacking Ice Country or the whole world?"
"This is about establishing authority! Only by showing the world their strongest hand can they deter the petty and establish prestige!"
"That's how you play the 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey' game!"
"If this were the real world, I would have already knelt, but this is the war world!"
"Ice Country is finished."
"Ma Country is too."
After briefly seeing this scene, all players predicted the ending for Strategist No. 67.
He had failed.
Now, no one could save Ice Country from the encirclement of the five permanent members.
Strategist No. 67 would be declared a failure along with the destruction of the country!
Meanwhile, Player No. 21, who had been forcefully imprisoned by Strategist No. 67, would also fail, because Strategist No. 67 would definitely drag this good friend down with him the moment he failed his strategy!
"The five permanent members really didn't leave me any path to survival."
Strategist No. 67, who also saw this scene, had an incomparably sullen expression.
After taking a deep breath, he picked up the desk phone and called the department responsible for imprisoning Player No. 21:
"Hello, this is the Grand Governors Residence."
"I am calling you now with only one purpose."
"And that is"
"Use the most cruel, the most brutal torture methods of Ice Country to torture the bastard I captured to death!"
His failure was already inevitable.
Then, there was no need to keep Player No. 21 alive any longer.
He wanted the other party to die before him!
Not only that, he wanted Player No. 21 to experience the most terrifying pain before dying!
Only in this way could the anger in Strategist No. 67's heart be somewhat alleviated!
"Grand Commander, do we really have to do this...?"
The Ice Country execution department, which had always absolutely obeyed the Grand Commander's orders, hesitated.
Because the person they were to execute had an identity that was simply too special!
He was not just an ordinary criminal!
He was the President of Maguo who had flown to Ice Country with the purpose of cooperation!
If they really executed him in Ice Country, what would the consequences be?
