No matter how long the night is, it cannot stop the arrival of dawn. This is the revelation of the darkest moment.

The newly formed criminal battalion suffered almost all casualties in the armed reconnaissance operation, but their achievements were unparalleled. The intelligence gathered from various fronts strengthened the determination of the alliance's top leaders at the last moment.

On September 1, the fifth year of Jianchu, after the time of the general offensive had been postponed several times, the amount of supplies that Lin Hai had been hoping for finally reached a barely usable level, and the general offensive began.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Alliance did not launch a large-scale offensive right from the start. Although the Abyss Guard had completely stopped firing bacterial bombs during the exploratory attacks a few days ago, which convinced the Alliance leaders that the Abyss Guard's bacterial bomb inventory had reached a point where it could no longer change the situation, the remaining pathogens on the battlefield were still daunting.

During several crucial counterattacks, the poison gas bombs launched by the Abyss Guards were even more terrifying. Thanks to the Abyss's unique basin-like terrain, it was difficult to circulate air quickly. Simply put, the poison gas would linger on the battlefield for longer periods of time...

But there is always a way.

"The general attack begins!"

After receiving reports of "preparation completed" from all fronts, Lin Hai at the Crater Command Center gave the order for the general attack with an expressionless face.

"Open the valve!"

At the outermost edge of the crater position, an officer in full protective clothing waved a small flag in his hand and directed the soldiers to open the valves of several pipes simultaneously.

A sticky, dark brown liquid with a pungent smell slowly flowed out of the pipe and continued to extend downward along the mountain range of the crater. From a distance, it seemed more like some indescribable liquid was polluting and eroding the land.

And if anyone has a high-altitude perspective, they will find that such actions are being carried out simultaneously on four fronts. It is more like a demon that has emerged from another dimension and is infecting the world bit by bit with its black tentacles.

Of course, from the perspective of the Allied Forces, these dark brown liquids are their saviors.

"Anything that can kill the enemy is a good thing."

When many soldiers questioned this evil-looking liquid they had never seen before, this was how Lin Hai, as the head of the alliance, responded.

"Would you rather use this liquid to kill the enemy, or charge forward yourself with the golden hammer?"

The answer is obvious.

Of course, there were some who were stubborn and kept grumbling that Lin Hai's approach had overturned the traditions of various countries. These stubborn elements had been taken to the forefront of the position, and they would be responsible for playing as vanguards.

According to the estimates of the Joint Conference of Military Generals and the health department, since the Abyss Guards had carried out long-range mine laying several times at night, and there were still residual pathogens on the positions, if a large-scale attack was launched directly, the Alliance would suffer considerable casualties from the very beginning.

But using crude oil is different.

The raging fire will eliminate landmines and pathogens.

In fact, if crude oil production hadn't kept up, and the Academy of Sciences hadn't come up with effective long-distance pressurized oil pipeline technology, Lin Hai would have even considered connecting the Abyss directly to the Shanzuo Oilfield and... just pumping crude oil in! After all, the Abyss is just a giant, open basin; as long as there's enough crude oil, it can be filled to the brim.

However, when the Academy of Sciences reported that it would take at least five years to complete such technological research and development, and another five years to lay pipelines and other infrastructure, Lin Hai decisively gave up this method.

Although it sounds very tempting.

Through the short-distance pipeline extending from the Shanzuo Oilfield and the logistics force that gathered almost the entire continent, Lin Hai still stored millions of barrels of crude oil on four fronts before launching the attack.

Seeing the crude oil continuously pouring into the abyss, to the point where it had even flowed past the downward slope of the crater and was seeping into the flat surface inside the abyss along the long-dug communication trench, Lin Hai put down the telescope and asked without emotion:

“How much crude oil reserves are left?”

"Your Majesty, we have released one-third of the inventory."

Ito Fumiaki, who had been monitoring the crude oil reserves, replied immediately.

"Keep releasing."

"Yes, sir."

In fact, Ito Fukuaki didn't need to worry about the speed of crude oil release - it couldn't be any faster.

Due to the lack of pressurization technology, the barrels of crude oil shipped from the rear could not be sent to the crater through pipelines - if there was such a capability, pipelines would be laid directly from the oil field.

Ito Fukuaki organized a large number of civilians, like worker ants, to transport barrels of crude oil to the top of the crater via human conveyor belts. The barrels were then opened and poured into the oil storage tanks on the top of the mountain...

In fact, all the crude oil released from the crude oil valve is transported to the mountain little by little in this way.

So it is impossible to go faster, and to maintain this speed, the most critical point is that logistics cannot stop.

Lin Hai knew that the situation in the rear was difficult.

The alliance leaders have postponed the time of the general offensive many times, but in fact they are just waiting for the crude oil reserves to reach the amount they have estimated, and such reserves are entirely achieved through human transportation.

The Northern and Eastern Fronts were the two closest to the Shanzuo Oilfield. To ensure sufficient crude oil supply to these two fronts, the Alliance built hundreds of transit stations along the transport routes, nearly one every two miles. The two fronts mobilized as many as two million civilian laborers...
