I built an armada.

Suddenly, the communications soldier rushed in, looking very anxious.

This directly interrupted their discussion about whether to stay or leave, and both Cruise and Koro looked over at the same time.

"Reporting to the general, the latest intelligence has arrived from headquarters."

From headquarters?

What exactly happened that caused them to suddenly receive a message?
The two men's hearts skipped a beat, realizing that this was no small matter; otherwise, the headquarters wouldn't have suddenly pulled this stunt at this time.

Cruise quickly made his own judgment and hurriedly said, "It seems that the two sides' high-level officials have reached an agreement. Next, we need to make the final determination on the front-line battle."

Koro nodded in deep agreement; he felt the same way.

"Read quickly."

Before Cruise could speak, Koro gave the order.

What happened next almost scared the two of them so much that they rushed out of the command hall.

"Reporting to the general, the headquarters indicated in the message that the Longxia tribe has launched another medium-range ballistic missile, and the target is very likely the garrison base."

The communications soldier's face turned extremely pale, and he said with difficulty, "Yes, it's us here."

Those last few words were like thunder, making Cruise and Koro's heads buzz.

"What? Didn't the high-level officials of both sides agree to a ceasefire? How come the Longxia tribe launched another medium-range ballistic missile?"

Koro exclaimed in surprise, "Why? Why are they still attacking us?"

Both of them were completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on or why the Longxia tribe had suddenly pulled this stunt.
Clearly, they were caught off guard!
Both of them felt they had encountered an undeserved disaster, since it was the foreign affairs department's loose tongues that had started the trouble, not the other way around.

If we're going to fight, wouldn't it be better to just launch an intercontinental ballistic missile? Hululu Island is right there, the command center is right there, can't we just blow it up?
If that's still not enough, the Foreign Affairs Department is located on the Eagle Tribe's home territory. Wouldn't it be better to just attack there and blow all those empty threats to ashes? Why attack our military base?

So what if we're closer to each other? Does that give us a reason to get beaten up? Good heavens!

The two were just discussing where they would be transferred to next, and they were getting impatient with this kind of place. They never expected that in the end, they would still have to suffer a blow from the Dragon Summer Tribe!

This is leaving them absolutely no way to survive, making it impossible for them to even leave.

In a flash of thought, the two suddenly exchanged a glance, as if they could both see that the other had already guessed the key point.

The frontline has already crippled the USS Enterprise, rendering it completely ineffective. If another medium-range ballistic missile is launched, then apart from military bases, there seem to be no high-value targets left to attack.

After all, the military strength of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe has been basically wiped out. Wouldn't it be a complete waste to fire another medium-range ballistic missile worth several million dollars?

Most importantly, the Eastern Wilderness tribes have been quiet lately, and no one has made any provocative remarks against Long Xia. They are as well-behaved as their grandsons!
Obviously, this possibility is ruled out.

"Fuck! Damn the Dragon Summer Tribe! How could they do this? Bastards, a bunch of bastards!"

Cruz grew angrier and angrier, and he swore. But after regaining his composure, he immediately ordered, "Quickly, quickly, pass the order down: all anti-aircraft missiles are on first-level combat readiness."

"Activate the interception! Intercept it now!"

As he gave the order, Cruise couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly stood up from his chair and rushed outside, shouting, "Evacuate immediately! Get everyone to the underground bunkers, quick!"

Coming to his senses, Koro immediately took off running and quickly caught up with Cruise.

"General, you were right, this place is far too dangerous. It's simply not a place for a human to stay," Koro said with deep emotion.

"Okay, I got it. Let's get through this first."

Cruise turned to look at Koro, cursing, "Tomorrow I'm applying for a transfer from here. Damn Eastern Wilderness Tribe, whoever wants to come can come, but I'm never coming back."

His biggest worry now is that if he continues to stay here, he might lose his life.

Koro nodded in deep agreement and said, "General, I will also submit an application."

The two of them ran out of the combat command center with ease and waited at the car stop.

Just then, a bulletproof armored vehicle sped by, the door opened and the two men immediately got in, and the vehicle headed towards the entrance of the underground bunker.

"woo woo woo woo!"

At this moment, the entire garrison base was on high alert and in complete chaos, with the piercing air raid sirens blaring.

Countless soldiers of the Eagle Tribe were still in a daze, completely unaware of what had happened, when they suddenly received orders to evacuate to the underground bunkers immediately.

In an instant, a dark cloud hung over the entire garrison base, and the atmosphere became extremely tense!

The soldiers who got out of bed went outside and saw a chaotic scene all around them. They immediately felt as if the end of the world had come, and their confusion only grew stronger.

Holy crap, what on earth happened? Why is the military base suddenly in chaos?

Everywhere you look in the base, you see soldiers running for their lives or vehicles crashing around, all trying to escape, afraid that if they are a step too slow, they will lose their lives.

"What happened? Can anyone tell me?" someone asked a fellow soldier.

The comrade turned and glanced at him, then retorted, "How the hell am I supposed to know what happened? I suddenly got orders to go to the bunker, so I ran."

"Me too, I still don't understand what's going on."

"I don't know either, but whatever, let's get to the bunker first. Survival is the most important thing." After saying that, the group turned around and continued rushing towards the bunker. Along the way, they saw forklifts hurriedly transporting military equipment, and everything was in a very busy state.

In the rush, some people inevitably collided, but no one cared who was right or wrong. After falling to the ground, they all immediately got up and ran away, their destination being the same: the underground bunker.

On the other side, at the air defense position.

The soldiers responsible for operating the air defense and anti-missile systems all looked extremely serious. The atmosphere in the command hall was so tense that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Everyone knew very well that this time their target was not an ordinary missile, but a medium-range ballistic missile with a terminal penetration speed exceeding Mach 14, which was extremely powerful.

If they fail to intercept it, the entire base will be doomed. The key issue is that all the air defense and anti-missile equipment they are using are relatively old models. How easy is it to intercept a target approaching at this speed?
Most importantly, their system still requires manual operation, and even at its fastest speed, it cannot keep up with the reaction speed of a computer, so no one is careless.

"Keep a close eye on them all, especially those at the radar station. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled and acquire the target as quickly as possible."

"You're all doing great. Just keep practicing as you always do. You can do it."

Seeing that every soldier was extremely nervous, the commander took a deep breath and gave a brief pre-battle pep talk to keep everyone from losing their composure.

Such a commotion at the military base naturally attracted the attention of many intelligence agents.

Of course, they did not escape the notice of the people from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. They naturally deployed some intelligence agents to keep a close eye on the garrison base's every move.

The people of the Eastern Wilderness have never been satisfied with having foreign troops stationed within their borders. They dream every day of becoming a normal country, instead of just being the watchdog of the Eagle Tribe!
The deepest part of the doomsday air-raid shelter in the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

The room is spacious and bright, with various instruments and equipment flashing colorful lights, maintaining communication and contact with the outside world, ensuring that the cabinet leaders and their entourage can obtain information from the outside world as soon as possible.

In another meeting room, the head of the cabinet sat in the chief seat, his expression unusually solemn.

The cabinet ministers sitting on either side of the desk didn't look any better either; they all looked like they had lost their parents!

More than an hour has passed, and they are still completely unaware of the situation on the front lines; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are blind.

The maritime conflict between the Longxia Tribe and the Xiong Ying Tribe is of great importance. They are keeping a close eye on the outcome, wondering which side will win and which side will lose. Ever since the destruction of the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet and the Alyu Islands air base, the Xiong Ying Tribe has cut off intelligence sharing with them.

That was as if to say that they had become a burden on the battlefield and had to be shunned and left to fight alone!

As a result, they were treated the same as the other countries on Earth!
This made the cabinet leader very unhappy. After all, the two countries were allied forces, so why was he forcibly kicked out of the battlefield and became the most injured one?

In any period of time on Earth, as long as two countries are allied, they are completely blind to the situation on the front lines.

Of course, they knew one thing for sure.

So far, all military forces deployed by the Eastern Wilderness Tribe on the front lines have been completely wiped out, and even a general-level commander has been killed.

Moreover, this was a conflict they had provoked, taking advantage of the fact that most of the Longxia Navy had gone to the Europa Sea area, leaving only a small defensive force behind.

A conflict they were so sure of winning ended up in such a mess!
Just thinking about the head of the cabinet makes his heart bleed. The armed forces of the Eastern Wilderness tribe have been almost completely wiped out. He has become the sinner of the Eastern Wilderness tribe!
The key point is that they dare not announce the news of their defeat, fearing that public demonstrations would force them out of power and put them on trial!

"Baka yarou, what on earth is going on?"

The cabinet leader cursed inwardly, extremely agitated. "Why did you let our Eastern Wilderness tribe fall to such a state? Doesn't Amaterasu Omikami care for us at all?"

"We're just trying to gain more benefits, even though the Dragon Xia Navy has already split its forces!"

"Why? Is it because fate and luck are both against you?"

He really wanted to find a secluded place to vent his anger, even if it meant finding someone to beat him up.

Seeing that the cabinet chief looked extremely grim, as if he were both frustrated and unable to vent his anger, a cabinet minister suddenly asked with concern, "Your Excellency, has something happened?"

The cabinet chief, regaining his composure, glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's nothing. I was just reflecting on this conflict. It was supposed to be a joint operation between two countries, but in the end, we became mere spectators."

"We don't know how far the maritime conflict has progressed, or what the outcome is for either country."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed extreme embarrassment.

They all knew very well that the cabinet chief wasn't expressing sentimentality, but stating a fact—an unchangeable fact—that they had been completely ousted.

Faced with this situation, what can they say? Nothing!
Reality is cruel; the Eastern Wilderness tribe's military forces were wiped out, and the battlefield no longer belonged to them.

"So much time has passed, and the foreign ministries of both countries have been at loggerheads, even resorting to nuclear threats against each other. Surely this agreement must be finalized by now?"

The cabinet chief was very unhappy, feeling like he couldn't spit out his anger. "But we know nothing! We're a bunch of blind people!"

These words almost made all the cabinet ministers shut up, especially those in charge of intelligence work; they almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and never come out again.

It's so hard, it's just too damn hard. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Fortunately, the intelligence officer, Takashiro, wasn't there, otherwise he would have become the target of everyone's attacks.

Suddenly, a cabinet minister with a pointed face and monkey-like features stepped forward: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, I think we can deduce something from the information we currently have."

"For example, the Eagle Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department issued a nuclear deterrent in response, directly marking many cities of the Dragon Summer Tribe as targets for nuclear strikes. This proves that the Great Chief and others have already decided to kill."

"Given this situation, I'm afraid the Longxia tribe will have a hard time getting through this crisis if they don't pay some price!"

These words naturally drew the attention of many cabinet ministers, who then fell into deep thought.

They were weighing the possibilities, as they could only infer from the currently available information. (End of Chapter)
