Chapter 1389
Lancuan War Zone, Gova Valley.
Bullets whistled past, and gravel flew.
"What on earth is going on!"
The little assistant lay in a stone pit, while Su Xiao checked the map nearby.
The heavy machine gun fire had lasted for at least five minutes, and the roar of artillery was continuous.
"Why would our own people be attacking here?"
Just as the little assistant was about to poke her head out of the stone pit, several bullets whistled past.
It wasn't just the little assistant who was confused; Su Xiao was equally puzzled. He had already penetrated several kilometers into the enemy position and successfully mixed into a scattered unit of the Sun Kingdom.
This unit was retreating toward the rear of the Sun Kingdom. As long as he followed them, infiltrating the Sun Kingdom's main base wouldn't be too difficult.
But at 10 a. m., this unit, located in the Sun Kingdom's war zone, was intercepted by Geya Alliance troops.
This was incredible. Once a large Geya Alliance force arrived here and was discovered by the Sun Kingdom's troops, they would be completely wiped out.
Under the fierce firepower of his own side, Su Xiao could only temporarily hide in the stone pit. The steel plate in front of the pit was riddled with dents.
What was even stranger was that the unit Su Xiao had mixed into seemed to have no will to fight. They tried to retreat many times, but it was difficult to retreat in the canyon terrain.
"Contact Officer Skain."
Su Xiao reinforced the steel plate in front of him; he didn't want to die under the guns of his own troops.
The little assistant held the radio in her arms and gave it a few hard knocks before the green light turned on. Her method of turning it on was so unique that even if the enemy captured it, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Through the little assistant's contact, Su Xiao learned a very important piece of intelligence: the Sun Kingdom's frontline troops had suffered a massive rout. Nearly two mechanized divisions had been wiped out, and the other active Sun Kingdom forces on the front line were also quickly collapsing.
From midnight last night until now, the Geya Alliance's vanguard had pushed forward four kilometers.
The President of the Geya Alliance, who learned this news in the morning, was a bit stunned. The war had been going on for so long; why had the Sun Kingdom been pushed back in just six hours?
Skain was also stunned. Most of the Slaughter Troops members he had sent out had successfully rendezvoused with their own troops just as they infiltrated the enemy camp.
At 8 a. m., various news channels of the Geya Alliance began to report: The Sun Kingdom has collapsed across the board, and the Geya Alliance has wiped out 600,000 enemies.
The figure of 600,000 was clearly exaggerated, but with two mechanized divisions wiped out, one could imagine how heavy the Sun Kingdom's casualties were.
Su Xiao couldn't figure out why this situation had occurred. Before, both sides had been trading blows, but after one night, the Sun Kingdom had actually started to fall apart?
There were only two possibilities for this: either the Sun Kingdom's economic system had problems, or its power structure had problems.
In fact, both the economic and power systems of the Sun Kingdom had problems. The economic system's problems weren't too big; after all, it was a behemoth. The main reason for the one-sided battlefield was the power system. As for how the power system collapsed, that had to be credited to the large adventure group, the Nuchuan Adventure Group.
From the beginning of the war world until now, the leader of the Nuchuan Adventure Group hadn't appeared. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had taken a female Qiyuezhe deep into the Sun Kingdom. The Sun Kingdom's power structure was collapsed by the Nuchuan Adventure Group's leader, Qing Yan, and his people.
How Qing Yan did it was unknown for the time being. The only known intelligence was: Qing Yan used a female Qiyuezhe with a charm specialty to achieve this.
The style of the Nuchuan Adventure Group was completely different from Shenhuang and Blood Gate. If one were to rank the old schemers in the fourth tier, Qing Yan would be second, and no one would dare to be first. The Nuchuan Adventure Group wasn't originally a large adventure group; the original leader was a brute who was later killed by Qing Yan. After Qing Yan took over, the Nuchuan Adventure Group rose at an extremely fast speed, and by now, it was vaguely threatening Shenhuang and Blood Gate.
Through the little assistant's contact, Su Xiao learned even more explosive news: the God's Envoy who controlled the military power of the Sun Kingdom had committed suicide by shooting himself at 9 a. m. this morning.
The highest military commander of the Sun Kingdom committing suicide was almost a bolt from the blue for the Sun Kingdom. Although that God's Envoy didn't have much combat power, his command ability was irreplaceable. There were many capable fighters in the Sun Kingdom, but there was only one God's Envoy who could control those other God's Envoys.
The sudden death of the commander-in-chief caused turmoil in the upper echelons of the Sun Kingdom's military. Before this war started, there had been a peace faction within the Sun Kingdom's military. They advocated for peace talks with the Geya Alliance, reducing the surrounding small countries so that resources would be enough to support the two major powers.
Everyone knew that a war between the two major powers was inevitable, but some divine officials didn't want a war to break out during their tenure. The situation on the Geya Alliance side was similar.
The President of the Geya Alliance and the God's Envoy of the Sun Kingdom had overridden all objections, thus the war broke out. Now that the God's Envoy had inexplicably committed suicide, the unstable factors within the Sun Kingdom had erupted. The high-ranking God's Envoys looked at each other with hostility, and the struggles between factions and the contradictions between power groups had completely erupted. The royal family, not interfering in military power, could only stare helplessly.
The generals in the Sun Kingdom also knew that now was not the time for infighting, but given the current situation, continuing the war with the Geya Alliance was very unwise. The best choice was to withdraw the troops, defend the border, and solve internal problems first to avoid a total collapse. At the very least, they needed to select a new God's Envoy. As long as they were given two days, they could select a new God's Envoy from the candidates. Whether he could suppress everyone didn't matter; at least someone had to stand up to save face.
Although the Geya Alliance's momentum was unstoppable, it was difficult to break through the Sun Kingdom's defensive line, at least not in the short term.
The Qiyuezhe of the Sanctuary Paradise were attached to the Sun Kingdom. After learning the news of the God's Envoy's suicide, the Sanctuary Paradise Qiyuezhe were completely stunned.
Of course, the Sanctuary Paradise side had already figured out who did this, but they were still somewhat incredulous. According to the intelligence provided to them by the Apocalypse Paradise Qiyuezhe, weren't those people from the Reincarnation Paradise all brutes and lunatics? They had only entered the war world for a few days, and they had already killed the military commander-in-chief of their camp? Was this something brutes and lunatics could do?
Ignoring the stunned Sanctuary Paradise side and the Apocalypse Paradise side that was watching the show, at this moment, the Geya Alliance and the Reincarnation Paradise Qiyuezhe were marching toward the Sun Kingdom.
If the Sun Kingdom were destroyed, the Sanctuary Paradise Qiyuezhe within the Sun Kingdom would definitely be in trouble. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
If they could really break into the Sun Kingdom, that would be a huge joke. Once that happened, the final Qiyuezhe free-for-all might not see the Sanctuary Paradise side at all.
