Chapter 222: The Last Hope?

Although Ali's courage is commendable, its military strength simply cannot be compared with Juda's.

Although both sides consist of fresh recruits, Juda enjoys endless assistance from Eagle Country.

Missiles and shells are launched as if they were free.

It leaves Bosi's Guardian Army in utter distress.

Meanwhile, the Defense Army is also barely holding on.

The aircraft dare not even fly into the sky.

If they do ascend, Juda's Air Force will spot them with a radar matrix composed of Eagle Country's radar vehicles.

Once detected, a surface‑to‑air missile follows in the next instant.

Moreover, Juda has changed the logistics transport logic.

Rather than shipping from within, they directly draw Eagle Country troops' supplies from Yila's Eagle Country Military Base.

This dramatically cuts supply transport time.

This also leaves both the Guardian Army and the Defense Army in utter distress.

At the Guardian Army's position.

A shell detonated beside Leiza.

Dust billowed, and Leiza calmly wiped his face and made no further move.

It's not that he became

It really is that during this period he got numb from the explosions.

It's actually that during this period he was numbed by the blasts.

Since the moment Youdaguo's large troops set foot on Bosi's soil.

Leiza's nightmare began.

From that day on, he hasn't slept a single good night.

Every day he is awakened by bomb explosions.

Leiza rubbed his temples.

Youdaguo's army no longer employed various tactics as it did before.

Youdaguo's troops no longer employ the varied tactics they once did.

In that case, they would still have a faint chance to spot flaws in Juda's forces.

It really is a step‑by‑step bombardment—once the artillery fire ends, the bombing continues.

Or they just drop bombs from the sky.

Juda's troops press forward steadily, step by step.

Which makes Leiza unbearably uncomfortable.

But they still cannot launch a surprise attack.

After the previous lesson, Juda's troops...

Every night, many soldiers stand watch.

They give Leiza no opportunity to strike.

It's like an iron tortoise.

It can't be chewed through, it can't run away.

If it runs, it'll soon end up inside a Bosi city.

Leiza let out a sigh.

It appears Juda's troops plan to use this tactic.

They are literally wearing the Guardian Army out to death.

And with this approach.

The Guardian Army's effective strength also suffers severe losses.

After all, shells don't have eyes.

Although fresh recruits who have roughly completed training keep joining at all times.

But they still can't withstand this attrition.

Continuing like this is no solution.

But Leiza still can't think of any remedy.

So they can only hold the line like this for now.

The Defense Army needs no further comment.

Now, the aircraft over Bosi's sky are not Bosi's own planes.

Instead, they are various Juda aircraft.

Attack aircraft, bombers, early‑warning aircraft.

They have everything.

Moreover, they are extremely cautious, never flying more than a hundred kilometers beyond Juda's defensive perimeter.

This is to prevent any possible Bosi anti‑aircraft weapons.

Whether the Guardian Army or the Defense Army, upon seeing this...

at that moment.

they all fell into despair.

And what Juda's troops want is simple.

Now I don't even intend to occupy any land.

【61】 As long as we wipe out all their forces.

All viable forces have been completely wiped out.

The country of Bosi no longer has any ability to resist.

The land is still Juda's.

That is why they are so obsessed with eliminating the personnel of the Faith-Defending Army.

Such is the situation at the front lines.

Things in the rear are no better.

In the capital of Bosi.

Bosi's supreme leader, Ali, was now looking at the reports before him, one after another.

"On the Handling of the Riots in Yisite City."

"On the Handling of the Riots in Kalisi City."

These reports, stacked one on top of another.

Were taller than Ali himself.

The entire Bosi government could now be said to be nearly paralyzed.

Remnant elements of the previous dynasty, previously hidden away, were now all seizing this opportunity to cause trouble.

Ali took a deep breath.

Struggling to hold together this crumbling nation.

"Secretary!"

The secretary heard Ali calling him.

And immediately entered the office.

"How is the food supply right now?"

Ali asked the question that concerned him most at present.

The entire country could still be sustained.

Relying entirely on the supplies accumulated beforehand.

Otherwise, given the current situation.

With foreign enemies invading, could normal production and daily life even proceed?

Aside from a few people still farming in remote mountain valleys.

People everywhere else had already stopped.

The only place in all of Bosi that could still be called thriving.

Was the armaments factories and the Faith-Defending Army's transport teams.

Those who remained were either insurgents, workers who had already joined the armaments factories, or recruits who had already joined the Faith-Defending Army's training.

In truth, it was not that Ali did not want to throw able-bodied adults straight into the military.

It was simply that people without any training entering the army would be entirely unhelpful.

That was why they had no choice but to launch recruit training.

"Stocks are already running low."

"The inventory in Delai City has already been declared critical."

"The remaining supplies in the warehouses of the other cities are also running low."

"I estimate we can hold on for only one more month."

The secretary's face showed difficulty.

As the secretary to the supreme leader.

He naturally had access to the latest first-hand information.

Ali heard this grim news.

And also let out a sigh.

"What about the situation at the front lines?"

The secretary shook his head.

"Not optimistic."

"General Leiza deduces."

"That the Juda military's policy is not to occupy territory, but to pursue the Faith-Defending Army and fight them."

"At the same time, they've split off a small portion of their forces to besiege the National Defense Army."

"The Faith-Defending Army is now constantly fleeing within the country."

"And the Juda military keeps pursuing them relentlessly."

"They have now reached our border with Yila."

"And the situation reported by General Hamier of the National Defense Army is the same."

"The Juda military has blockaded the National Defense Army; although their forces are relatively few compared to the number of troops pursuing the Faith-Defending Army."

"But the National Defense Army's numbers are even fewer."

"They can now only rely on the airfield for defense."

"Their supplies, especially weapons, are also running low."

"The fuel for the fighter jets is even more scarce."

"At the same time, the mayors of the various cities of Bosi have already sprung into action."

"Using the police and local Faith-Defending Army members as a backbone, they want to train guerrilla units within the cities."

"Relying on the cities themselves for defense, to turn this war into a war of attrition."

"Your idea is not bad," Ali said after hearing his secretary's well-organized words.

He was especially impressed by the idea of the mayor relying on the police and the Holy Army to form a guerrilla force.

"Although I don't know whether it will be of any use."

"But this is the only thing we can do."

Ali said in a low voice.

Now even a three-year-old child could see it.

Bosi's fate had already been written.

There would not be any further changes.

However.

A sudden ringing of the telephone broke the silence.

Ali immediately rushed forward in a few quick strides.

The number of people who could call his office at a time like this.

Were only a handful.

"Hello?"

"What?"

Ali exclaimed in shock!
