Chapter 1058 The First 1054 Eternal Peace (Second Update)

Led by Constantine, the genetically modified soldiers split into several groups, focusing their attacks on the NATO Response Force headquarters in Bydgoszcz, Poland, the NFIU NATO integration unit, the 3rd NATO Signal Battalion, and the Northeast Multinational Army Group in Szczecin, Poland. Relying on weapons of mass destruction and surprise attacks, they successfully destroyed the 2nd Corps Mechanized Brigade, the 12th Mechanized Brigade, the Lithuanian Iron Wolf Mechanized Infantry Brigade, the Estonian 1st Infantry Brigade, and other NATO integration units of the Polish 12th Infantry Division in Zwocheniec. They also captured senior generals from several NATO countries at the 12th Command Battalion in Szczecin, destroyed a large amount of high-tech equipment, and obtained a great deal of NATO military intelligence.

However, this was not the whole story; his mission was to unleash the monarch's wrath upon all who resisted. Those military bases that only suffered from interstellar missile strikes were fortunate, for they escaped the destruction personally inflicted by Constantine.

As the country with the most NATO eHP (forward defense and deterrence forces) units, Poland was also a key focus of this northern front operation. Although Constantine's genetically modified warriors numbered only three thousand, they suffered fewer than ten casualties under such intense combat, all of whom died from enemy anti-tank weapons or direct hits from tank main guns. The Mars Foundry deployed all its available war machines and fortress-type combat robots to support the smaller contingents in the northern front. Even in the darkness of the city, the local population could still see the steel giants in the distance. Constrained by both information and electronic warfare, the local armed forces, deprived of command and air support, were annihilated on the spot by the war machines that had completed their primary targets. Even aerial weapons like attack helicopters were no match for the war machines equipped with paranoid weapons and ion shields, and were all easily shot down.

Once the operational objectives are achieved, Constantine will command the genetically modified warriors to cram valuable officers and strong, combative soldiers captured into transport planes, refuel them with enemy fuel, and then order the assault transport ships that have completed their mission of attacking the airfield to unleash air-to-ground missiles on the operational targets, completely destroying any trace of the NATO forces that ever existed.

A group of genetically modified soldiers on the southern front raided Camp Felizai Bondestier, located 40 kilometers east of Kosovo's capital, Kosovo. Camp Felizai Bondestier houses a Kosovo International Peacekeeping Force controlled by the U.S. Army, mandated by UN Security Council Resolution 1244. This notorious U.S. military base houses a U.S. Army facility specifically used to detain suspected terrorists, and this facility has consistently refused inspections by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT). In November 2005, European Commissioner for Human Rights Irao Gil-Robles, after a visit, described the camp as a "mini-Guantanamo," an accusation denied by the U.S. Army, which maintains that there are no secret detention facilities within the camp. The camp, housing over 7000 soldiers and possessing a helipad capable of accommodating 52 helicopters, is the largest U.S. military base in the Balkans and was one of the key targets of this operation.

Coincidentally, most of the genetically modified soldiers sent to attack this location were European and American soldiers selected by the Immortal City from the Afghan battlefield, captured and brought back to the Immortal City for modification. A quarter of them were young men from Afghan jihadist organizations, with the majority being from the US Army, and some even having served at this military base. Even after genetic modification and mind adjustment, those soldiers still remembered what was in this base.

Led by Malcolm, commander of the First Legion's "Infernal Angels," this 1,000-strong genetically modified warrior force strode into the military base where he had once served, the embers of the Black Hawk helicopter wreckage from Camp Bondesteel still warm. Now, he possessed a far greater goal: to serve the "Unified Truth." He wielded a long, electrifying spear in one hand and a miniaturized nuclear fusion weapon in the other. The blinding flashes and scorching heat emanating from the muzzle did not affect his fighting spirit; he remained at the forefront of the column. His standard-bearer, Kenneth, raised the monarch's crimson eagle banner high, leading the warriors forward, unleashing a barrage of individual missiles, plasma clusters, and explosive bombs upon everything in their path. The American soldiers at Camp Bondestier hastily retaliated, but with the powerful firepower of the genetically modified soldiers and the support of heavy vehicles falling from the sky and low-flying anti-gravity vehicles, the army completed its mission within twenty minutes, capturing Commander Volker Habauer and rescuing several "terrorists" who opposed Kosovo's independence from the CIA agents who remained at the base.

This battle, later known as the "Silent War," has been repeatedly analyzed by military strategists, who have pointed out the consequences of enemy-targeted communication systems. Deprived of command and air power, the NATO forces were quickly routed by the genetically modified soldiers, who relied on their sturdy armor and overwhelming firepower. The genetically modified soldiers, originating from Latvinia, achieved remarkable results in a short period, traversing multiple battlefields and fighting tirelessly. Latvinia, under the command of Victor von Doom, experienced sporadic attacks, but these were repelled by the anti-aircraft missile laser interception system, the Latvinia First and Second Armies, and the Field Army. Victor von Doom himself had prepared an extremely powerful protective spell to counter all medium- and long-range missiles.

More than two hours later, after the emergency in Europe was painstakingly transmitted back to New York via terrestrial communications and submarine fiber optic cables, the delegates voting in the UN Security Council unanimously suspended the next round of voting. However, before they could produce a new resolution, an unexpected event occurred. Accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity, the lights illuminating the Security Council hall began to flicker frequently, followed by a deafening explosion, as if something had exploded. Even the glasses on the tables and the glass walls of the UN headquarters building in New York were shattered by the sudden loud noise. Before security personnel could react, hundreds of figures appeared at the entrance to the hall, accompanied by the electric current that shattered the air and the spreading ozone.

The lights briefly went out, but the blinding light instantly filled the entire hall, like a rising sun bursting forth in the Security Council chamber. The immense light and heat were overwhelming, making it hard to breathe. The instant the teleportation ended, fifty genetically modified warriors in dark gold power armor split into groups to control the entrances and exits of the audience seating area. Two Sisterhood members, clad in towering Baroque-style gold and black armor, their height comparable to the Royal Guard, guarded the meeting hall with shields and halberds. Other Sisterhood members in conventional force-feedback power armor controlled the audience seating area with explosive guns. Hammurabi and Superuliumas, urgently recalled from South America, walked on either side, halberds in hand, following the monarch's steps.

Salomon rode Pegasus, slowly making his way down the steps from the teleportation point toward the Security Council's round table.

He wore golden power armor and a blood-red cloak, which billowed as Pegasus flapped his enormous wings, creating a swirling, howling wind that made his cloak flap loudly. He didn't look at anyone in the audience, nor did he slow down; instead, he had his giant horses crush the low partition separating the audience from the meeting hall. All the lights paled in comparison to his radiance, and everyone bowed their heads as he passed. Those seated around the meeting hall dared not breathe, dared not move. Some of them had seen Salomon in Vienna, but they had never seen him so enraged. This time, he revealed his true nature, and mortal souls had almost no room for resistance under this spiritual oppression; their thoughts and actions seemed to be crushed under a rock. Pegasus finally stopped before the circular table in the meeting hall, and Salomon looked directly at the mural created by Per Krogh, a mural expressing world peace, with his radiant eyes.

Salomon disliked the fresco, not only for its poor artistic quality but also for its rampant white supremacist prejudices. Above the kneeling couple in the center of the fresco was a boy offering fruit to a little girl under a tree, symbolizing the serpent passing on the fruit of knowledge—a highly religious image. While the artist, ostensibly a Catholic, would never have harbored such blasphemous thoughts, the painting revealed his disbelief in God. The dragon pierced beneath the phoenix rising from the ashes was depicted as an Eastern dragon, and the two figures hiding in the cave in the lower right corner were portraits of Qing Dynasty people. Meanwhile, the figures representing the liberators in the light were all white. Per Krogh thought others wouldn't notice, but Salomon had examined all of his paintings, including previous versions of this fresco, and Athena herself was quite knowledgeable about art; she easily discerned the subtle intentions and allegorical meanings.

A flame ignited on his shoulder, and a real phoenix flew out of the flames and landed on his shoulder armor. He raised his holy sword and swung it, cleaving the mural diagonally in two.

The scene was broadcast live in its entirety without any obstruction. Although North America's satellite communication system was significantly affected, it still functioned normally. Many people saw this scene through news channel reports. Although they couldn't directly experience the oppressive feeling, they still clearly saw what the person radiating golden light did through the camera lens.

"The only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity never learns anything from history. I brought peace, I brought technology, but you discarded them like worn-out shoes, turning a blind eye to the impending threat." He pointed the holy sword at everyone seated around the round table in the conference hall, the scorching blade scorching the air, its light seeming capable of igniting steel. His voice was like thunder, as if it could be heard even in the heavens. "Now I will give you true peace and eternal unity. Accept it; it is the only choice."
