The system handed me over to the state.

The general handed over to the empress the written descriptions and images of some of the surviving soldiers.

The Empress immediately began playing the recording, giving them a glimpse into the madness on the Soviet battlefield. Those Soviet soldiers they had looked down upon were now displaying ferocious expressions, red eyes, and shouting chilling slogans.

She even watched as several heavily armored soldiers, outnumbered, were struck on the outer shell by some kind of energy weapon by Soviet soldiers, who then pried open the armor and stabbed into the gaps, showing the entire process of a heavily armored soldier going from standing to falling to the ground.

Some soldiers, terrified by these Soviet warriors who resembled demons from the underworld, chose to flee.

The Queen's expression grew increasingly furious...

Suddenly, her expression froze, and she collapsed onto the throne. The prime minister immediately rushed out to help the queen, then had her taken to the palace behind the palace to rest. He then walked up to the generals and coldly issued the order: "Publicly execute all the soldiers who fled back!"

"Yes, Prime Minister, but... this is..."

"This is a warning! What we need are fearless warriors who can defend our country to the last moment! Not cowardly cowards. This is a warning to everyone, and I don't want it to happen again!"

The general immediately bowed his head, "Yes, Prime Minister!"

"So... what's going on on the battlefield in China?"

Out of fear of China, the number of the four legions originally planned was eventually increased to eight, four for China and four for the Soviet Union.

Compared to the Soviet side, although these deserters were to be executed, the value of the intelligence they brought back had to be acknowledged. Recalling the frenzied demeanor of the soldiers in the footage, the Prime Minister suddenly remembered a civilization he had once encountered.

That civilization was in the same situation, except that they had already almost completely devoured the enemy. Finally, they used their last strength to launch a final, desperate attack. At that time, the soldiers of that civilization were in almost the same state as these Soviet soldiers.

However... such tactics are always limited. There are only so many people, and once you've used them all, that's it. A commander who uses such tactics to attack is truly foolish!

Therefore, he was even more concerned about what the situation was like on the battlefield in Shenzhou, and why there was no news at all.

Even if the battle is intense and rapid, surely it's still possible to send out a message?

The problem is that none of the four legions and four battlefields were able to send back any information; it was as if they had been silently erased by something.

All things considered, the outcome and process of the Shenzhou battlefield made the Prime Minister even more anxious. If the other side really had such means to wipe out four legions, then next, would they be able to wipe out their main base?

The Prime Minister and the Bishop began to feel anxious, but the only good news was that they might still have a huge advantage on the European battlefield. Once they dealt with the British Empire, they could focus all their efforts on China and the Soviet Union.

Without hesitation, the Prime Minister issued the order: "Notify the remaining 32 Legions to dispatch 8 Legions to the British Empire to completely annihilate the last resistance in Europe!"

Chapter 333: Another Stalemate

"Britain needs support. The enemy has sent eight legions to repel our offensive. Having learned from their defeat in battle against you, they are being very sneaky, almost never showing their faces, only casting spells, and creating a large number of dark clouds that have obscured the battlefield and paralyzed our satellite imagery."

"We are unable to precisely unleash lightning storms or tactical nuclear silos. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Britain is suppressed back into the containment barrier."

This was not good news. The initial success on the Asian battlefield led China and the Soviet Union to believe that this advantage could continue. However, just a few days later, news from the British Empire made them realize that the enemy was not simply a fool.

The defeat in the Asian theater led the enemy to commit part of their forces directly to the European theater, and they realized that the enemy seemed to have some kind of ultra-long-range strike capability, using generated clouds to obscure the sky and directly block their satellite reconnaissance.

It is impossible to pinpoint the location of the enemy's main force or when they will launch an attack, but the enemy can locate their position through satellite imagery.

Therefore, upon receiving this intelligence, the three countries immediately launched missiles to destroy the satellites of other countries above them, preventing these satellites from providing strategic intelligence to the enemy. Within a few days, they also intercepted missiles launched by the Shadow Empire, which also wanted to destroy the satellite system with missiles.

Even now, the missile interception systems of the three countries dare not relax, after all, satellites are one of their few remaining advantages.

However, the situation on the European battlefield was unexpected. China could only send a portion of its troops to the European battlefield via time-space teleportation with the Soviet Union, which barely kept the situation at a stalemate.

We cannot move forward, but we will absolutely not retreat either.

This led to a stalemate on the European battlefield.

One month later, at the Shenzhou Operations Command Center...

"Things are starting to get complicated. Asia has been liberated, and we have successfully established ourselves, but the question is, what do we do next?"

"The Shadow Empire realized our intelligence advantage and used dark clouds to cover the entire area, cutting off our vision advantage."

"The stalemate on the European battlefield makes it difficult for us to make any further progress. At this stage, we cannot attack and can only engage in a stalemate with the enemy."

Looking at the holographic image in front of him, Mu Ziming analyzed that the success in the Asian battlefield and the balance of power in the European battlefield made it difficult for Shenzhou to take action for a time.

"Moreover, according to intelligence from the European battlefield, we know that the number of corps attacking Britain this time is 8, and the number of corps from the Soviet Union and China is also 8."

"The captured general refused to speak, so we were unable to obtain any further information for the time being. However, we have reason to suspect that the Shadow Empire is hiding even more legions in its bases."

"You mean...we should wait for the paradox?"

General Lu Yunying of the Eastern Military Region pondered, "If we wait for the paradox, then we can directly attack the Shadow Empire's homeland. At that time, the situation on the European battlefield will be completely irrelevant."

But the next question is, with this paradox, can they really fight their way all the way to the enemy's home base?

Is it really impossible to encounter any accidents or unexpected events?

Lu Yunying sighed. If the so-called system assistance that the system lady applied for could have been implemented, they might have been able to have an easier time.

"Otherwise, do we have any other options? If we rashly send our spies into enemy territory to gather intelligence, and they turn around and use them, our secret plan is very likely to be leaked."

In other words, we're going to have to keep holding back from each other again.

Mu Ziming himself was also helpless. He didn't want to keep it bottled up like this. He also wanted to fight back as soon as possible and resolve these messy things, but it was clear that the current situation made it difficult to do so.

They still need more intelligence. Without intelligence, they cannot formulate strategies or make effective military arrangements.

So... I still have a headache...

Compared to the dilemma faced by the combat command center, the Shadow Empire itself was in the same predicament. They deployed twice the number of troops in the European theater, but still failed to capture it. They even saw infantry and vehicles bearing the symbols of the Soviet Union and China in the European theater. What does this mean?

This means that the three countries possess some kind of technology that allows them to teleport their troops to other countries to support combat operations. Doesn't this mean that attacking one country is equivalent to attacking the other two countries at the same time?

In addition, the defeat in the Asian theater prevented the Shadow Empire from committing more troops, and it dared not easily deploy more forces.

The situation has once again returned to its previous stalemate.

"Prime Minister, what should we do next? The situation has returned to a stalemate. If this continues, given their rapid technological development, they will surely surpass us."

The Shadow Empire hasn't even fully mastered modern technology yet, and with the three kingdoms of Shenzhou constantly developing and striving upwards, the longer they delay, the less chance they have of winning. In addition, due to the constraints and barriers, they are also unable to infiltrate and obtain more intelligence.

A month has passed, and the Shadow Empire still hasn't figured out what exactly attacked the four legions that were silently destroyed on their way to Shenzhou.

According to intelligence from the European battlefield, the Prime Minister strongly suspected that the weapons might be related to some strange and unidentified buildings on the European battlefield. However, the British Empire retreated very quickly and left nothing behind, so they had no idea what those things were for.

At this stage, the opponent has been trying their best to hide their trump card, which makes the Prime Minister extremely uneasy. In addition, Her Majesty the Empress's health is deteriorating rapidly. If she cannot absorb more nutrients, the curse will backfire on the Empress herself, and then they will be completely defeated.

After finishing his official duties for the day, the Prime Minister went to the Empress's room and sat down by the bed. He looked at the Empress's peaceful sleeping face. Because of the curse, the Empress's body had not developed for a thousand years and had always remained in such a fragile state. Only by absorbing more life and souls could she fight against the curse.

He had been thinking, maybe... we should just end it all!

But Her Majesty the Queen has persevered from a naive young girl to the present day, so how can we, as her subjects, give up?

"Your Majesty, I will definitely let you live. In return, I will offer you more souls as nourishment. This war is about to end, I promise."

Chapter 334: The Third Parallel World

"So, does this mean we've discovered a completely new parallel world?"

"Yes, Doctor, we have discovered a completely new parallel world, and we can determine the year and specific coordinates of this world. In three days, we will be able to open the passage to this parallel world."

Bronya looked at the three parallel worlds on the screen. The coordinates of the first parallel world represented a parallel world called the Celestial Empire that was communicating with China.

Because of the war, after explaining the reasons, they took the initiative to cut off the passage. If the passage had continued to be maintained, and Shenzhou had been defeated, allowing the Shadow Empire to master this technology, then countless parallel worlds of Shenzhou would have suffered annihilation. This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen.

Then there was a parallel world that had been discovered a long time ago, but its exact coordinates had never been determined.

The third is the world coordinates that were discovered this time and quickly determined.

"So... after the passage is established, let's send drones to explore it first. After we determine the specific situation of that world, we'll consider whether we should send envoys to communicate with them."

"Did the Sigma array lead us to an unexpected discovery of a parallel world? But that weapon..."

Bronya was worried about one thing: the weapon that was transmitted back from that parallel world was a Type 38 rifle. According to the similar historical laws in different parallel worlds, the historical period in which the other party was located was most likely during the period of fighting against the invasion.

Is it really appropriate for them to suddenly intervene at this point?

This is a question Bronya is pondering: Is it really appropriate? Their sudden appearance.

After careful consideration yielded no results, Bronya decided to give up, ceased her holographic communication with the parallel world's management department, and returned to her dormitory.

In the dormitory, Einstein and Dr. Tesla were still busy with their work, while she had already completed her own tasks and was now relaxing.

Recently, Black Seele, Seele, and Fu Hua have also been busy with their own work. Although none of the three contractors were able to go to the front line of the battlefield, they made great contributions to the infiltration and sabotage in many areas.

Now, the three have reunited and are about to embark on an infiltration mission together with Natalie, a contractor of the Soviet Union.

That means going deep into the Americas to gather intelligence on the Shadow Empire, so that they can make corresponding strategic deployments.

Of course, this was just one of their side tasks. Their most important task was to find out exactly how many troops the Shadow Empire was still hiding, and how much of the modern technology the United States had analyzed and mastered.

Dr. Ji Chengtian was certain that even if a magical civilization that had never been exposed to technology suddenly gained control of it, and even if they could use possession magic to take over the bodies of scientists and devour their knowledge and theories, it would still take time for them to master it.

Most importantly, long before the Shadow Empire's invasion, the world had already formed a huge global economy, among which the Soviet Union and China were two economic and scientific research complexes that were no less powerful than the United States and Europe.

Without those two countries, it's questionable how long American scientific research can continue and how far it can go. And now that an even less professional shadow empire has taken over, the outcome is even more uncertain.

However, just to be on the safe side, we still need to investigate further.

Ordinary infiltrators are easily detected when entering areas controlled by the Shadow Empire, so this crucial task was entrusted to the two Seeles who were able to enter the quantum space, along with Fu Hua and Natalie, who are extremely powerful in direct combat.

Bronya lay down on the bed, her hands crossed behind her head. Three days had passed since Seele and the others set off, and she wondered how they were doing. She didn't dare to call them, afraid of interfering with their mission.

Hopefully everything goes well... There are still four months left. Let's try our best to get the paradox working as soon as possible. Maybe she can modify some more nanobots and add some functions and speed? Maybe?

Bronya thought she could give it a try, so she got up and left the dormitory, heading to the warehouse that managed and stored the nanobots.

Now, the management of the nanorobots is completely handed over to Xiaoyun, an AI. Whenever needed, they can simply apply for one. Xiaoyun also controls the nanorobots, and her control capabilities have skyrocketed after the basic equipment was upgraded.

Operating on multiple fronts has become second nature to her.

Upon arriving at the warehouse where the nanobots were stored, Xiaoyun immediately noticed Bronya's arrival and welcomed her.

"Welcome, elder sister. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Bronya nodded, her indifferent attitude displeasing Xiaoyun. The holographic image of her pouted, "Ugh! Why is Big Sister so cold to me?!"

"Because it's work time now, unless you want to play with the bunny properly."

The moment the rabbit was mentioned, Xiaoyun's expression changed drastically. "No! Absolutely not! I'd rather die than play with Rabbit Sister again!"

Of course, although Little Rabbit, this artificial intelligence from the quantum space, is not as free as Xiao Yun in form, in terms of function and ability, it is far ahead of Xiao Yun.

This has led to Bronya decisively sending Little Rabbit to teach the brat a lesson whenever she hopes Xiaoyun won't bother her. This has also caused Xiaoyun to turn pale at the mere mention of Little Rabbit.
