"What? What's going on?" Several leaders turned to the scout almost simultaneously, their faces full of confusion and astonishment.
In their view, Lone Wolf had deployed all fifty of his elite soldiers at the north gate for defense.
At this point, the East Gate and West Gate should theoretically not be too difficult to conquer.
"Could it be that there are still experts there?" they wondered to themselves.
The scout spoke urgently, his face pale and his voice filled with despair:
"Five exceptionally skilled guards have appeared at the East Gate. Their abilities are far beyond what our men can match..."
"And Ximen! Five more guards have appeared. According to preliminary estimates, their strength is at least at the half-step Emperor level. Our personnel losses are heavy..."
This intelligence report immediately made Shiraishi Ryuichi's expression turn serious.
He knew that this sudden change had undoubtedly brought great uncertainty to the entire plan.
At that moment, the leaders of the surrounding small families also received alarms from the east and west.
In an instant, her face changed from white to red, from red to black, then to a dark, greenish, blue, purple, and pinkish hues...
Just like drinking the "Imperial Jade Liquor" of China, his complexion changed so quickly, like a dyeing workshop, it was quite a spectacle!
It turns out that the root of all this was that Su Yue had poured all of his last battle merits into the battlefield sand table.
[Ding! Purchased "Ten Great Generals of the Warring States" * 10, remaining quantity: 0. Cost: 1,400,000 War Points!]
Now, Su Yue's battle merits are down to just over 200,000.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Shiraishi Ryuichi finally broke the silence: "Immediately notify all reserves to engage in battle!"
He knew that if he chose to back down now, he would probably lose the chance to turn the tide forever.
"Ryuichi Shiraishi! You've gone mad! The terrain here is narrow; sending more people in would just be pointless sacrifices!"
"Ryuichi Shiraishi, do you really want the Sakura Kingdom to pay the price with every last one of its members for this battle?"
"Shiraishi Ryuichi! After this battle, our families will definitely join forces to impeach you..."
The leader of a small family angrily pointed at Shiraishi Ryuichi's nose, using strong language.
However, Ryuichi Shiraishi remained unmoved in the face of these accusations and threats.
He remained silent, but a chilling coldness emanated from his deep eyes.
The next second, the hidden shikigami beside him suddenly appeared and grabbed the leader by the neck.
With a crisp "crack," the leader's neck snapped instantly, and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, those subordinates who were originally loyal to their leader.
But at this critical moment, he placed the blade against his own leader's neck.
The once excited crowd fell silent upon witnessing this scene, their astonishment evident in their expressions.
They never expected that their former subordinates, who had fought alongside them in battle, had secretly defected to Shiraishi Ryuichi.
At this moment, everyone realized that the situation had reversed, and they all knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
Bai Shilong coughed a few times, seemingly suppressing his inner excitement, before he angrily rebuked in a stern voice:
"You bunch of spineless cowards! A few guards and you're all so terrified? You're all useless! You don't deserve to be citizens of the Great Sakura Kingdom. You should all commit seppuku to prove your innocence!"
Bai Shilong drew an arc across his neck with one hand.
Those once arrogant leaders of small families were instantly decapitated and fell into pools of blood.
His cold gaze swept across the entire room, his voice filled with undeniable authority:
"These insects are not worth dealing with! You take over your respective families and issue the following order: Anyone who dares to back down in the slightest will be executed without mercy!"
...
The battle began at 2 p.m. and continued relentlessly until nightfall.
The Sakura Kingdom committed almost all of its elite troops to this mission.
That once bustling and glittering capital city security zone has now been reduced to ruins, a scene of utter devastation.
Restoring it to its former glory would undoubtedly require a huge investment of money and time.
One hundred bodyguards with swords, fifty elite soldiers on the nuclear island, and ten famous generals of the Warring States period.
Faced with this overwhelming onslaught of people, they were ultimately powerless and all perished.
However, the Sakura Kingdom, as the attacking side, paid a much heavier price.
Their death toll reached as high as 500,000, and the number of those disabled and injured was countless.
At this moment, all three city gates had fallen.
Nearly two million enemy troops surged to the city walls like a tidal wave.
Just as the city gate was collapsing, the wanderer acted as he had agreed with Su Yue beforehand.
The wanderer decisively led the remaining defensive forces to retreat to the outskirts of the palace, where they built the last line of defense.
Their situation in this battle is also not optimistic.
Everyone's physical strength and energy levels have been completely exhausted.
But this battle also brought them many gains.
Since joining Su Yue's ranks, they have been able to earn battle merits while fighting against the enemy.
"Hahaha! Brothers, I got 360 battle merits and killed 36 Japanese devils!"
"What's that? I'm just a Taoist priest, and I killed 56 of them!"
"I was originally planning to return to China and show off to my countrymen, but it seems I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice my life for my country."
"So what if they die! Killing one more means we break even, killing two more means we make a profit!"
"Yes! We must fight to our last breath to buy precious time for Boss Lone Wolf and Demon King Luvie. He will definitely avenge us!" the Wanderer said firmly.
"Yes! We will fight to the last moment!" the crowd echoed in unison.
No one showed fear on their faces, only unwavering conviction and resolute eyes.
This resolute and determined voice echoed in the blood-red night, seemingly foreshadowing that it would be the final cry of those warriors.
This tragic scene deeply touched the hearts of every Chinese person watching the live broadcast.
People long to jump into the screen and fight alongside them.
"Boss, what's this...?"
Just as everyone was preparing to step forward and face the impending decisive battle.
A sudden creak broke the tense atmosphere.
The heavy gates of the palace slowly opened to both sides.
"It's Lone Wolf, the boss!"
"It's Demon King Luvie!"
"They've shown themselves!"
