The system handed me over to the state.

Fifteen seconds sounds like a very simple thing, but in reality... it really is a very simple thing.

The moment the golden barrier formed, warm yellow sunlight streamed into the land, gentle and carrying the unique temperature of spring.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Shadow Empire in other nearby areas showed expressions of terror the moment they felt the sunlight and warmth, instinctively wanting to hide in the shadows.

However, the 15 seconds passed in the blink of an eye. The instant the countdown ended, a large amount of hyperspace teleportation energy field instantly transported a massive mobile construction vehicle into the battlefield.

There were also nearly a hundred tanks and vehicles, including future tanks, iron dragon tanks, and Shenzhou's conventional Zhurong main battle tanks. The most eye-catching of them all was the siege tank that immediately deployed its mechanical legs on both sides after the teleportation ended, slammed them onto the ground with a bang, and fixed the main body of the tank, raising its turret high.

Although there were only five siege towers, the Chinese warriors who had witnessed their terrifying long-range firepower felt an extraordinary sense of security.

Next, the mobile construction vehicles quickly deployed, and one military production building and defense facility after another rose from the ground under the rapid construction of the nanobots. At the same time, several Iron Curtain devices were also quickly built and put into this outpost.

Kuroki walked out of the construction site, looking at the sunlight overhead. "Now... it's time to strike back!"

"Blackie, your mission has begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Huan's voice rang out from Hei hope's communicator, "Tell me!"

"We've found an enemy stronghold south of Neriel, with plenty of armored vehicles and soldiers stationed there. Let's go vent our frustrations."

"My warriors and I will clear out the enemy forces in the surrounding areas of Neriel, protect the expansion of the Constraint Beacon, and then completely consolidate our control in this region."

Hei hope's lips curled up slightly. "Has the counterattack begun?"

"It has begun. The fighting has started simultaneously in three countries and dozens of battlefields. Our progress is relatively fast. After all, China is a vast country, and they cannot possibly surround every place. According to intelligence, the battlefields in the western part of Britain and the Soviet Union are the real hell on earth."

Hei hope raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tsk, I was actually assigned to such an area where there's not much fighting."

Hei Xi was slightly displeased, and Tang Huan's expression was somewhat displeased. "Alright, let's talk about the complaints later. Let's carry out the mission, Miss Xi'er!"

"Alright, alright, then... I'll show you my strength!"

Chapter 326: Advance!

"A demon...she's a demon!"

"Mage...please bring a mage here! We can't defeat the demons, ahhh!!"

On the edge of Neriel, at a military outpost of the Shadow Empire, the terrified screams of soldiers echoed through the outpost as the dark red quantum shadows rapidly engulfed anything they touched.

Buildings, armed vehicles, debris, and even people were all swallowed up, while their weapons were powerless to harm the bizarre creatures before them.

Crimson tentacles shot out from the Quantum Shadow, quickly binding the feet of several Shadow Empire soldiers, then pulling them toward the Quantum Shadow's main body, swallowing it into the quantum space amidst their terrified screams.

The soldiers' mental defenses collapsed the moment the Quantum Shadow grew stronger, and large numbers of soldiers began to flee in disarray.

Feeling bored, Hei hope then controlled the Quantum Shadow to engulf as many deserters as possible. These guys were truly fragile and would shatter at the slightest touch. The Quantum Shadow she was controlling was practically immune to damage, yet these soldiers were defeated so easily, which Hei hope found incredible.

Having lost interest in continuing the fun, Hei Xi sped up the process of engulfing the deserters and reported this strange situation to Tang Huan.

After hearing the report, Tang Huan was also puzzled. How could they have been defeated so easily? Moreover, judging from the description, it was very likely that their psychological defenses had been breached. Did Miss Seele's control of the Quantum Shadow really have such great power?

After making a temporary note of this strange event, Tang Huan continued to order the army to execute the defense plan. Next, they needed to completely control this area and then continue their advance the following day!

Meanwhile, things were not going so smoothly on the battlefields surrounding the British Empire.

Because Britain's territory was not as vast as that of China and the Soviet Union, the forces surrounding them were more concentrated, but even so, their advance was still slow.

On the battlefield, the roar of artillery from the Shadow Empire's modern army was incessant, and countless explosions ripped through the British tank formations.

Rita, who had already realized that the enemy seemed to intend to stop their advance with firepower, withdrew most of the infantry and instead adopted a strategy of having the mechanized forces led by the more individually powerful members of the Knights Order.

"Hahaha! Come on! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

Siegfried's Skyfire Greatsword erupted with unparalleled flames. With a single slash, the raging flames instantly incinerated the enemy troops in front of him into charcoal. Tanks and armored vehicles became scorching hot under the Skyfire's flames, and the drivers inside, who had no time to escape, were burned to death.

"Haha! That was awesome! Let's do it again!"

Siegfried is protected by a specially designed energy shield, which is why he can rampage through enemy lines.

The army group composed of future tanks and iron dragon tanks in the rear is making a steady advance. The particle impact cannons fired by the iron dragon high-angle tanks tear the enemy tank armor into fragments the moment they come into contact with it. Infantry that come into contact with the crimson energy field are directly turned into dust.

In the future, tanks will fire lasers at vehicles and infantry at medium to long range. Whether it is infantry or vehicles, the lasers can easily cut through them. The occasional salvo of Golden Arrow missiles can instantly eliminate large areas of armor and infantry.

The longer the fighting went on, the more the Shadow Empire's soldiers realized that they had no effective means to stop either the knights charging into their positions or the steadily advancing mechanized vehicles.

After discovering the terrifying power of those long-barreled tanks, they called for air support and long-range firepower to take them down first. However, the moment a tank exploded, the built-in Iron Curtain core suddenly activated, enveloping all nearby vehicles in an invincible state.

As a result, the air attack, which was expected to clear out the vast majority of the Iron Dragon tanks, actually eliminated less than one-tenth of the total number of Iron Dragons.

The increasingly one-sided situation caused the soldiers around Britain to gradually collapse, and their resistance began to weaken. Eventually, a huge gap appeared, and it was this gap that allowed the British forces to quickly begin a counter-encirclement, determined to clear the entire surrounding area.

On the border of Shenzhou, the attack methods are more covert. In each area, an infiltration team will set off first, clear out some of the enemy forces in the area, deploy a restraint beacon, and then directly teleport a mobile construction vehicle and a large number of armored vehicles into the target area via hyperspace teleportation.

Then it began to expand outwards from the inside, which seemed more secure and quiet compared to the direct confrontation between Britain and its knights.

As for the Soviet Union, they were even more ferocious, with armored torrents and a large number of infantry launching a suicide attack on the Shadow Empire's defenses.

Braving the Shadow Empire's artillery fire and aerial bombardment, they charged fearlessly through a hail of bullets. This fearless charge, where they were willing to die for their lives, terrified the Shadow Empire's soldiers, who had never witnessed such a scene, and they turned their fire in terror towards the front.

However, this firepower suppressed the Soviet Union's charge for a short time. But then, a shrill whistle suddenly came from the sky, like the scythe of death, and began to reap the lives of the Shadow Empire's soldiers.

Furthermore, the Soviet Union used another method, directly deploying large numbers of Iron Curtains on the battlefield, directly unleashing them upon the soldiers of the Shadow Empire.

The Iron Curtain instantly tore the fragile infantry to pieces. Almost instantly, the Shadow Empire's defenses were breached by the Soviet Union's terrifying offensive. The Soviet Union maintained its unstoppable offensive, directly piercing through the Shadow Empire's entire defensive line.

The defenses of the three countries are in very good condition, and if they continue to advance at the current pace, they will eventually be able to reach the entire world.

Of course, some strange behaviors that occurred during the battle also caught the attention of the Three Kingdoms. For example, the Shadow Empire's psychological defenses were extremely easy to collapse, and the Shadow Empire's paper-thin defenses puzzled the arrival of the Three Kingdoms.

Especially on Black Sheep's side, the moment Black Sheep revealed the Quantum Shadow, the Shadow Empire's soldiers almost completely collapsed in their mental defenses and began to flee, which was... very strange?

While the external war raged on, Bronya carried out her mission among the slaves. If they could create a paradox as quickly as possible, they could push straight to the Shadow Empire's homeland.

Chapter 327: The Quantum Demon

"Your Majesty, as we expected, their advance is rapid, and the territories we occupy are being quickly swallowed up."

Inside the Shadow Empire's palace, a general knelt on one knee on the carpet, reporting military intelligence to his empress. The empress nodded, "Very good. Let them continue like this. The more troops they lose, the more arrogant and confident they will become. In the end, our true army will utterly crush everything they have!"

"Your Majesty, that's a bit too confident of you."

Suddenly, the rebuttal from below made the Queen's expression freeze. She narrowed her eyes. "Oh? My general, tell me, do you have any other brilliant ideas?"

Unfazed by the slight danger in the Empress's tone, Jiang Jin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, during the battle, we discovered that the weapons used by the Divine Land, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union are almost identical."

"The same armed vehicles, the same infantry weapons and equipment, and most importantly, we only saw their army the whole time, without finding any navy or air force."

The Empress's brow suddenly furrowed. "It seems our opponents still have reserves; we cannot underestimate them..."

The general's reminder made the Empress realize immediately: if the enemy only had an army and no air force or navy, what else were they hiding?

"How is the other side's progress?"

Half a month has passed since the start of the war. Due to health reasons, the Empress has spent most of her time resting, and other matters are basically handled by the Prime Minister and her generals.

The prime minister standing to the side said, "Your Majesty, the alliance between China and the Soviet Union has stabilized the entire Asian territory. The British Empire, under our suppression, is making relatively slow progress and is still within Europe."

"If they continue at this pace, they could reach the Americas in less than a month."

The Queen lowered her head in thought. After a few minutes, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Prime Minister, send two elite troops to slow down the advance of the British Empire. We can withstand the attacks from China and the Soviet Union, but we absolutely cannot allow them to encircle the British Empire."

"Understood, Your Majesty. Also, there is one more thing. Our fleeing soldiers on the battlefield in Shenzhou have reported that they have discovered... the existence of quantum demons."

Instantly, the temperature inside the palace dropped several degrees. The Empress's expression turned astonished, and she abruptly stood up, asking, "Is this news confirmed?"

"It's uncertain. The soldier who reported this news has lost his mind and keeps muttering the word 'demon,' so it's just suspicion, not certainty."

The Queen's expression grew increasingly grave. "Things are troublesome... If a quantum demon has indeed joined this battle, even our elite troops will be unable to make a difference..."

"Prime Minister, increase the number of elite troops sent to Shenzhou to three. We must verify the authenticity of this news."

"If it really is a quantum demon... we have no choice but to abandon this world; it's beyond saving."

.............

"Asia has been completely occupied. We are consolidating our coastal defenses. The Thor gunboats are being transported by land to various defensive positions and are ready to take off at any time."

"The Soviet Union is currently deploying the super Thor gunship in the Hyperbody Laboratory at night; their deployment will take some time."

Su Mengyao frowned. "Something's not right. It's too easy... In just half a month, the Shadow Empire's defenses have crumbled like glass. Even the advance in the western region has been made easier by Hei hope's presence."

“I suspect that these soldiers are not regular soldiers of the Shadow Empire at all! They just put their ordinary civilians or slightly trained militiamen into the bodies of these soldiers.”

Su Mengyao's words were indeed true. The European Union was having difficulty advancing because the entire European army was there. Although they couldn't completely stop them, the continuous use of artillery bombardment and air attacks could effectively slow down Britain's advance.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union's fearless charge terrified the Shadow Empire's soldiers, who had never seen such a sight before. Meanwhile, the infiltration and assassination by China, using time-space teleportation, ensured that the garrison in each region would be quickly wiped out before any information could be transmitted.

"If they are not specially trained soldiers, then the reason why we are advancing so quickly can be explained."

Tang Huan and the other two generals nodded as they spoke through the holographic device.

"This also means that the Shadow Empire's most crucial elite forces have not yet been deployed... while our current backup plan is an air force composed of Thor gunships and Viking fighters."

"Our ground forces, including the Titan Legion and mass-produced Heimdall infantry fighting mechs, have not yet entered the fray."

"Most importantly, we can create favorable conditions for ourselves in the upcoming battles. Without the advantage of continuous use of magic, even the elite army of the Shadow Empire will not be in a better position than those modern armies."

However, Su Mengyao's serious expression did not relax. "In short, we should continue to consolidate the defensive positions along the coastline. If necessary, we can abandon the positions and destroy all facilities with explosives and retreat directly through hyperspace teleportation."

"How is the construction of the tactical nuclear silos and weather controllers progressing?"

Su Mengyao asked about another very important thing, which was the super weapon that had just been improved recently: the tactical nuclear silo and the weather controller.

"Everything is ready. We have deployed a total of 20 weather controllers with the Soviet Union, of which 15 can be deep-charged and 5 are undergoing deep-charge upgrades."

"We have deployed a total of 50 tactical nuclear silos, and all of them are on standby at any time."

After being improved by Otto and Bronya, the nuclear missiles launched from the tactical nuclear silos will degrade and enter the soil within half an hour after the explosion, and then condense into pale green crystals. They only need to collect these crystals to continue using the bombed land.

There is absolutely no issue of radiation pollution. This can be considered one of the few cutting-edge technologies in the Three Kingdoms period, enabling the large-scale deployment of nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

"Prepare for the Shadow Empire's counterattack. We need to digest all the land in the Asian region and temporarily halt our advance. I have a feeling that the Shadow Empire's counterattack is coming soon."
