"Su Bai, I'm an old man here as a guest. Won't you show me around properly?"
"By the way, I saw that Zhenguo's Light Legion is also in your territory. Is Zhenguo here too? I haven't seen him."
Mr. Guo looked around but did not see Wang Zhenguo.
Although Guo Jing is the highest leader of the Imperial Capital Military Region, he can only know the overall situation of the war in his territory in a short period of time.
As for some variables, there is simply no way of knowing them.
For example, Wang Zhenguo's serious injury, Shi Lesheng's betrayal, and Su Bai's corpse explosion skill.
Su Bai remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed.
"Old Guo, Shi Lesheng has betrayed us and launched a sneak attack on our rear area using the high-level scroll Dark Sword."
"Colonel Wang risked his life to block the Dark Sword to save me. The Dark Sword pierced his chest and he fell into a coma."
"What?!"
Old Guo, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold and stern, his eyes barely concealing his anger.
"That Shi Lesheng is worse than a pig or a dog!"
"Don't worry, Elder Guo, I've already personally killed those two traitors, Shi Lesheng and Zhao Feng," Su Bai said.
"You did a good job, there's no need to feel guilty." Old Guo's expression softened, and he sighed.
“Sigh, Zhenguo is the same. He always believed that Shi Lesheng was still loyal to the Dragon Kingdom.”
Wang Zhenguo is a descendant of Guo Lao's faction, so the relationship between the two is self-evident.
"Take me to see Zhenguo."
Su Bai led Guo Jing to the small stone house where Wang Zhenguo was placed.
The moment the door opened, an increasingly dense aura of darkness rushed out.
Guo Lao snorted coldly, and an aura of pressure arose, causing the dark energy swirling in the air to dissipate considerably.
Old Guo sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Wang Zhenguo's bloodless face and the dark sword wound on his chest, feeling extremely heartbroken.
“Zhenguo, you’re great. Uncle Guo should have removed Shi Lesheng long ago.”
"Sigh, Uncle Guo is getting senile too..."
Mr. Guo held Wang Zhenguo's hand, his tone somewhat apologetic.
How could the leader not feel guilty when a major traitor like Shi Lesheng emerged from within the military region?
Su Bai quickly comforted him, "Elder Guo, don't worry or blame yourself. I already know how to save Colonel Wang."
"Oh, what method?"
"It means going to the Cursed Islands. Only by completely killing the Lord of Darkness on the central island and extracting the purest Dark Heart can the dark energy in Colonel Wang's wound be cleared."
Guo Jing's expression turned serious when he heard about the Cursed Islands.
"The Cursed Islands are an extremely dangerous region. Not long ago, several elite lord-level troops from Japan all perished there."
"It is said that even the outer islands have not been fully explored, let alone the central island, and there are almost no traces of human activity."
"As for the Lord of Darkness, that information also came from the outer islands."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai showed no sign of backing down.
"My life was saved by Colonel Wang. He could shield me from the sword of darkness. What is it for me to make a trip to the Cursed Islands for him?"
"Even if it were the Cursed Islands, or a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, if I were to even frown, I would be letting down Colonel Wang!"
"good!"
Old Guo stood up, gave Su Bai a solemn military salute, and exclaimed, "Su Bai, Zhenguo was right about you."
"Then I, an old man, certainly can't let you go into danger alone."
"How about this, I'll form a territorial alliance with you, and we'll go to the Cursed Islands together tomorrow."
The system's mechanical synthesis prompt sounded.
[Hint: Lord Guo Jing of the Dragon Kingdom has sent an alliance request. Do you agree?]
[Tip: With the other party's consent, allies can quickly teleport to each other's territory!]
[Note: Your current maximum number of allies is 5. You cannot form an alliance if you exceed this limit!]
Su Bai agreed.
[Notification: You have officially formed an alliance with Guo Jing, the lord of the Dragon Kingdom!]
[Allies (2/5): Guo Jing, Wang Zhenguo]
"Then it's settled. I'll go back and adjust the troops I'll be leading tomorrow. You should also get some rest. When we're ready to set off tomorrow, I'll teleport you to your territory."
When Guo Lao came to support Su Bai, he brought out most of his most elite troops.
Now that relations with the United States have soured, we have to be on guard.
We're going to the Cursed Islands tomorrow, so we naturally need to make sure to take precautions in advance.
After seeing Mr. Guo off, Su Bai finally relaxed for the second time today.
At least this time, they can really relax, and the swarm has had a hard-won rest.
In the United States.
Covered in wounds, Maxson eagerly awaited William's triumphant return, only to be met with a gloomy-faced William who seemed to have taken a gunpowder.
"General William—"
"Get out of here, you idiot!"
"General, what's wrong with you?"
"It's all because of you, you idiot! Two million! That's two million of allied troops!"
"Not only was the entire army wiped out, but Jonas also died protecting you, and the enemy wasn't even incapacitated yet. As the commander, you're a complete idiot!"
"Explain it to Congress yourself!"
Furious, William berated Maxson before slamming the door and storming into the command center, leaving Maxson bewildered in the wind.
What's going on? Wasn't General William going to avenge Jonas?
With things having come to this point, and without William's protection, McKesson had no choice but to bite the bullet and dial Congress.
Meanwhile, the Far East Military District also sent its operational report to Congress.
The top brass of the U.S. Congress were immediately filled with shock and anger.
What's astonishing is that an 18-year-old lord of the Dragon Kingdom actually has the ability to face two million elite troops head-on, and the Dragon Kingdom seems to value his potential very, very much.
What angered them was that the lord's attitude towards the United States was far too domineering.
This is a slap in the face to the United States!
As for Japan, the reaction was mostly anger.
Many lords were even outraged and clamored for revenge for the dead Japanese lords.
But despite the threats, no one dared to actually do anything about it.
Japan is like a dog that barks a lot but doesn't bite; when it stops barking, it means it really intends to take action.
Now even William, the dog's owner, has perished in the desolate wilderness. Even if the lords of Japan had a hundred thousand times the courage, they wouldn't dare to move now.
The location of Su Bai's territory and the potential it has demonstrated have already made the United States and Japan feel a great threat.
That night, several high-ranking members of the U.S. Congress arrived at the Far East Command, accompanied by several Japanese cabinet ministers.
After a brief discussion, they discovered a startling fact.
If Su Bai continues to develop at its current pace, not only will the US Far East Military District be suppressed, but Japan might also be wiped out in one fell swoop.
So, after discussion, it was only natural that Su Bai became the number one threat.
This also means that the United States and Japan will be targeting the Soviet Union and the United States at a higher level.
Just then, intelligence about Su Bai's planned trip to the Cursed Islands the next day was urgently delivered to the conference room of the U.S. Far East Military District.
