The lively group chat quieted down significantly with just one sentence from Ye Feihong and a photo.
Inside the Imperial Guard Monitoring Room, things were extremely busy. Today, a fierce assault had already been launched against the Western Silver Province. If the battle continued smoothly without significant support from dark creatures, it was expected that the entire Western Silver Province could be subdued within a month.
A month felt too slow; we needed to capture the Western Silver Province in half that time. However, such a rapid advance would cost many lives. We required the abundant mines of the Western Silver Province, not just for Xi Yin but also for Ganlan Province.
Why was there such urgency? We had already secured Heaven Gate; wouldn’t it be better to advance gradually with Farmers?
A document was tossed onto the table. "Take a look at this," it said. The second and third defensive lines of Sakura Country were on the verge of being breached. The divine tree above Sakura was preparing to attack Korea.
The document contained a Sky Satellite photo showing a massive tree over two thousand Mi Gao tall, standing next to Fushishan, the symbol of Sakura Country. This giant Da Shen tree was even taller than Fushishan itself.
Had we really advanced to the capital of Sakura Country in just one month? Sakura Country was different from Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom had vast territories and significant strategic depth, while Sakura Country concentrated its national strength in its capital, which housed a quarter of its entire population.
If the capital of Sakura Country fell, they would be only a few hundred kilometers away from Korea. How could they resist these dark creatures? Korea had its own strength and population, but it was far inferior to that of Sakura Country.
Was the East unable to hold on so quickly? Humanity truly faces countless disasters.
Upon receiving this intelligence, the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Guard no longer had any doubts. Xi Yin and Ganlan Province were both crucial sources of metal for the Dragon Kingdom before the end.
To deal with such a large number of dark creatures, relying solely on Farmers is insufficient. A significant amount of Heat Weapons is also required.
Most of Xian Long Guo's territory is part of the Eastern population's Ton Gathering area. The sparsely populated regions have gradually fallen over decades of fighting against dark creatures. This has led to a serious shortage of resources like metals.
Reinforcing the four major defensive lines has already become extremely difficult. Currently, Sakura Country and Korea may soon face defeat in their resistance against dark creatures. If that happens, they will need the Dragon Kingdom and the Eastern Theater to step in for support in the near future.
Only by securing Western Silver Province and Ganlan Province, with their abundant Metal Ore Veins, can the Dragon Kingdom establish more armies. This would allow them to work alongside Farmers to solidify the entire Eastern Defense Line. Ultimately, the Dragon Kingdom is the backbone of this defense line.
The East was once a gateway to the sea, and the Dragon Kingdom, particularly Mo Qian, is the largest production and export nation for Blue Star. This Eastern region houses numerous factories that have begun transforming into important weapon production facilities to combat dark creatures since their arrival.
Time, time, time. For the Imperial Guard, time was of the essence. They had to establish a solid defense line before Korea could no longer hold out. It wasn't just the Western Theater; large numbers of elite troops were also mobilized from the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast battle zones to join the fight to reclaim the Western Regions.
A significant number of fighter jets, tanks, and rocket artillery were dispatched towards the Western Regions. Additionally, many workers were laying down roads and bridges, while numerous farmers were deployed across various locations in the Western Regions to help establish a defensive line.
The Dragon Kingdom's objective in reclaiming the Western Silver Province and Ganlan Province was not to seize the entire territory but to secure several key metal veins.
