Chapter 73 Operation August Storm! Ling Dong at his peak

"I didn't expect the Ling Dong Legion to suddenly launch an operation against the Bug Legion. After all, the battlefield here shouldn't have much to do with them."

"There is a connection. Have you forgotten the battle that broke out between the Bug Legion and the Ling Dong Legion?"

"Oh, right! Now that you mention it, I remember! Perhaps this is also the reason why 'Former - Winter is Coming' was unwilling to withdraw the legion stationed at the border, even at the moment of the defense of the capital."

"The Bug Empire has huge ambitions; no one is willing to trust them."

"But if we have to say, the main reason the Ling Dong Legion entered the fray was because of that ultimate weapon dropped by 'Raging Waves', right?"

"That's hard to say."

"The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Excluding some time-sensitive intelligence, no one can be 100% sure that the information they know is accurate!"

"That is indeed the case!"

"Then, let's see the combat power of the Ling Dong Legion!"

"If Persia could manage a great victory against the Ling Dong Legion, then the Bugs, being in the same alliance, should also be able to do it. At the very least, they shouldn't be flattened by the Ling Dong Legion!"

Amidst the discussions of the viewers in the livestream, Takuya Kojiro had already activated battlefield command mode.

He knew very well:

As the elite of the Bug Legion stationed north of the Great Wall were constantly deployed to the Pacific battlefield and supplies were continuously drawn away, this legion, known as the 'Flower of Conquest', was now a mere shell of its former self!

Not to mention that the 8 teams within this 'Flower of Conquest' were formed 7 months before the war with the Ling Dong Legion began.

Their true combat power was only 15-30% of a field team!

Lacking artillery!

Insufficient weapons!

Even tanks numbered only a little over 300!

Under these circumstances!

How could this Bug Legion possibly fight head-on against the formidable Ling Dong Legion that had defeated Persia?

"It is no longer possible to conquer 'Great Wall Watch'."

"What I need to do is delay for as much time as possible for the subsequent Decipherers before I fail, and obtain more intelligence!"

"So that they can better conquer 'Great Wall Watch'!"

"Therefore!"

"I must have this Bug Army continuously build defensive bases to slow down the advance of the Ling Dong Legion!"

"The longer I delay, the more perfect it is for me!"

Takuya Kojiro was no longer thinking about how to conquer 'Great Wall Watch'; what he wanted was to delay the progression time of this dungeon!

The more intelligence obtained, the greater the risk Designer No. 009 would have to bear next!

Once the failure count reached the threshold!

This Designer, regarded by the entire universe as a prodigy, would completely lose 'Great Wall Watch', and at the same time, face the demotion punishment from Skynet!

Thinking of this,

Takuya Kojiro curled his lips.

Through the strategic view, he began operating the Bug Legion to build fortress after fortress!

It was at this moment.

Three days after 'Raging Waves' dropped the first ultimate weapon! August 8th,

A new system warning flashed out:

"System Prompt 1: Because 'Raging Waves' dropped an ultimate weapon on the 'Bug Empire', 'Former - Winter is Coming' has decided to launch the Storm Operation against you in advance!"

"System Prompt 2: On August 8th, 'Former - Winter is Coming' summoned the person in charge of the Bug Empire stationed in the Winter sector and announced a formal declaration of war against the Bugs!"

"System Prompt 3: In 2 hours, the Ling Dong Legion will launch an attack on you!"

"So soon?"

Takuya Kojiro was slightly stunned.

But he quickly collected his thoughts, because the defensive bases he had personally deployed were already constructed!

Even if the Ling Dong Legion launched an attack on him immediately, it would be of no use!

"System, accelerate time to two hours later!"

"I want to see just how strong the Ling Dong Legion that conquered the capital of Persia really is!"

"And how it compares to 'Raging Waves'!"

The fearless Takuya Kojiro directly activated Time Acceleration!

Accompanied by the flickering lights of Time Acceleration, the time in the war world was quickly stretched forward to two hours later!

'Former - Winter is Coming' officially launched an attack on the Bug Legion!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

In the image presented by the strategic view, aircraft flew across the border between the Great Wall and Winter, about to bomb the Bug Legion in multiple cities north of the Great Wall!

And just at this moment, a series of system prompts suddenly appeared, all flashing before Takuya Kojiro:

"System Prompt: Far East Campaign initiated! The Ling Dong Air Combat Legion is launching an attack on you!"

"System Prompt: Far East Campaign initiated! The Ling Dong Mechanized Combat Legion is launching an attack on you!"

"System Prompt: Far East Campaign initiated! The Ling Dong Ground Combat Legion is launching an attack on you!"

"System Prompt: In the 'Far East Campaign', the total number of enemy troops you need to face is—2 million soldiers! 30,000 artillery pieces and mortars! 5,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery! 5,000 combat aircraft!"

The moment the system message fell!

In the distant sky that Takuya Kojiro could see, dense swarms of combat aircraft covered the sky like dark clouds!

They were speeding towards the Bug Legion, carrying incendiary bombs and high explosives!

"Warning! Warning!"

"Large numbers of Ling Dong fighter jets detected, please prepare for air defense immediately!"

Piercing air defense sirens sounded one after another in the defensive fortresses where the Bug Legion was holed up.

The soldiers of the Bug Legion began to scramble for defense.

After all, most of the soldiers in this 'Flower of Conquest' legion were newcomers; how could they possibly cope with the Ling Dong Legion that had fought a life-and-death battle with the Persian Legion!

Before the Bug soldiers could mobilize their air defense weapons and launch their fighter jets into the sky,

the Ling Dong combat aircraft had already arrived!

"Boom!"

The defensive fortresses, airports, and military camps that Takuya Kojiro had personally built began to suffer from the bombardment of Ling Dong combat aircraft!

Thousands of fighter jets dropped missiles and incendiary bombs!

They exploded the moment they made contact with objects!

The aftermath of the explosions swept through the surrounding area, and tiny fire dragons began to grow vigorously, relying on the combustibles!

In an instant, this Bug Legion, on which Takuya Kojiro had pinned great hopes, fell into disarray!

Countless Bug soldiers were turned into charred corpses in the sky-filling bombardment! They wailed! They fled!

Even though they had achieved an overwhelming advantage, the Ling Dong Legion did not stop their sweep of the battlefield, because they knew:

Every single Bug stationed in the area north of the Great Wall had filth on their hands!

After occupying the northern city area, they did not treat prisoners of war well like other countries; instead, they used Great Wall people for inhumane virus experiments!

A series of inhumane nightmares continued to unfold in the north of the city.

They had long since departed from the concept of being human, turning into evil ghosts with hands stained with filth!

August. It was the storm that would sweep away the evil ghosts!

How could the Ling Dong Legion show mercy under these circumstances?
