Chapter 1399: Shocking news
Territory of the Kingdom.
The whistling of bullets continued unabated, and the ground kept flying in all directions.
— What the hell is going on?! The assistant shouted from the pit while Su Xiao checked the map next to her.
Heavy machine-gun fire had been raging for about five minutes, as had the roar of artillery shells.
— How did our people get here in the first place?
Just as the assistant was about to stick her head out, several bullets whizzed past right above her.
It wasn't just her who was confused, but Su Xiao as well. They penetrated several kilometers deep into the enemy positions and successfully blended in with the kingdom's scattered army.
This army was retreating to the kingdom's rear. Due to her being in a terrible state, she was forced to retreat deeper into the kingdom and regroup, which would allow them to reach the deepest rear of the kingdom in peace.
But at 10 o'clock in the morning, this army, which had already retreated from the front line, was suddenly intercepted by the alliance army.
This was truly an incredible event, as if the alliance army had infiltrated here and been discovered by the kingdom's troops, they would have been wiped out in no time.
And so, under the fierce firepower of his comrades, Su Xiao could only hide in the pit, holding the plates that were already full of potholes.
The worst news was that the army that Su Xiao had joined didn't seem to be prepared for this at all and wasn't going to fight back. They tried to retreat many times, but it was difficult to do so because of the terrain.
— Contact Skane, " Su Xiao said, putting the plate back in its proper place.
He didn't want to die at the hands of his own comrades.
The assistant picked up the radio and tapped it several times. The radio immediately turned green. The way this radio was activated was so unique that even if it fell into the enemy's hands, they would definitely not be able to use it in the end.
With the help of this walkie-talkie, Su Xiao learned a very important piece of information, namely that the kingdom's front was starting to crack at the seams. Almost 2 of the kingdom's panzer divisions were completely destroyed, and the other troops stationed at the front suffered serious losses or were on the verge of being completely annihilated.
From midnight yesterday to the present, the vanguard of the alliance has advanced four kilometers.
The alliance president was a little confused when he found out in the early morning. The war had lasted for so long, so how could they suddenly recapture so much territory from the kingdom in one day?
Skane was also confused. Most of the members of the sweep team met up with friendly troops after infiltrating the enemy camp, and didn't experience any major problems.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the various news channels of the alliance began to report a beautiful piece of news: "The Sun Kingdom has suffered serious losses, the approximate estimate is as high as 600,000 soldiers».
The loss of 600,000 soldiers was clearly an exaggeration, but considering that two panzer divisions were destroyed in just one day, such losses did not sound too unrealistic.
Su Xiao couldn't understand how this had happened in the first place. Previously, the two sides had endlessly butted heads on the same spot, but in just one night, the kingdom's forces had started to suffer huge losses?
There were only two possible explanations. First, the kingdom's economy began to stall. Second: the kingdom's power system has begun to falter.
The kingdom's economy and power system were not doing very well. The problems in the economy were not so serious, after all, the kingdom was considered one of the hegemons of this world, but the kingdom's power system had many problems, and the last brick was knocked out from under the feet of this system by the Nunchang guild.
As soon as the contractors appeared in this world, the leader of the Nunchang Guild never came out. It wasn't that he didn't want to show himself in public, but that he and his men had immediately entered the kingdom's territory and were able to deal a crushing blow to the kingdom's system.
It is not known exactly how he achieved this result, but it was only known for certain that he did it only with the help of the forces of his own guild.
The style of the Nunchang Guild was completely different from that of the Sacred Emperor and Blood Gate Guilds. Among the fourth-ranked guilds, if the Nongchang Guild decided to take second place, then no one would dare to take first. It wasn't that big in the beginning, but after the previous leader of this guild died at the hands of the current leader, this guild had started to develop at an extremely fast pace and was now in no way inferior to the Sacred Emperor Guild and Blood Gate.
What was it that they were able to do that caused the entire front of the kingdom to start bursting at the seams? The commander-in-chief of the kingdom, the one and only, shot himself in his office at 9 o'clock this morning.
The kingdom's commander-in-chief killed himself. This was a bolt from the blue for the entire kingdom. Although he didn't have great strength, he had incredible experience and intelligence.
There were a huge number of strong generals in the kingdom, but only one commander-in-chief, and although he was weaker than all these great generals, he was the one who led them.
The sudden death of the Supreme Commander caused a stir in the upper echelons of the kingdom's armed forces. Before the war began, there were peace supporters in the kingdom's army. They offered to negotiate with the alliance and reduce the number of small countries in the area so that the two great powers would get enough resources.
Everyone knew that war would break out between the two states sooner or later, but some officials didn't want it to break out during their rule.
A similar position was held by some officials from the alliance.
The alliance president and the kingdom's supreme commander went against such suggestions, and so war broke out. Today, the commander-in-chief committed suicide for unknown reasons, and chaos broke out in the kingdom. Many of God's messengers in high positions had enemies in high places, and because of the sudden death of the commander-in-chief, old grudges and conflicts began to flare up again.
The royal family could only watch the infighting helplessly.
The kingdom's generals understood that this was not the time for internal strife, but given the current situation, it was unwise to continue the war with the alliance. The best option was to withdraw troops, stand on the border and solve internal problems, which would not allow the rebels to tear apart the system. At the very least, they had to choose a new supreme commander, and they set aside two days for this task. It didn't matter if everyone liked the chosen candidate or not, so at least they would be able to contain the masses.
Although the alliance's advance was unstoppable, breaking through the kingdom's defenses was difficult, at least in a short period of time.
The Holy Paradise contractors were attached to the kingdom. When they learned that the commander-in-chief had committed suicide, the contractors of Holy Paradise were stunned.
Of course, Holy Paradise quickly found out who did it, but it was hard to believe. They had, of course, learned from the words of the contractors of the Apocalyptic Paradise that the contractors of the Reincarnation Paradise were reckless, but wasn't this a bold move? They had only arrived in this world a couple of days ago, and they had already lost their commander-in-chief?
While the Holy Paradise and Apocalyptic Paradise contractors were confused, the alliance and the Reincarnation Paradise contractors were rapidly advancing towards the kingdom's territories.
If the kingdom falls, the contractors of Holy Paradise will definitely be in trouble. If the nest is destroyed, not a single egg will remain intact.
If a couple of days after the contractors arrived, the alliance could actually destroy the kingdom's capital, it would be one huge joke. If that happens, Holy Paradise obviously won't be able to participate in the final battle for peace.
