Chapter 81: The Last Stand

"Has the palace been taken, Jimmy?" asked Mike anxiously

"Not as optimistic as we expected, Mike. The palace is full of obstacles and many hidden bunkers. Our tanks were stuck and could not advance. Although the opponent's firepower is not as strong as ours, it is definitely more than the 500 people we expected before. In this kind of war situation, I estimate that it will be a stalemate for a while. Jimmy shouted amid the deafening sound of artillery fire

"It seems that this fake king, who is afraid of death, not only secretly expanded the Imperial Forest, but also built many fortifications in the palace. It's right to think about it, he himself relied on this trick to usurp the position, how could he not be wary. But fortunately, the bridge was blown up, and with our firepower, there was plenty of time to take the palace. After all, the other side is not the main force. Mike whispered to himself

"Strengthen the attack, we must take the palace before the opponent's main force rushes back. Otherwise, we will be caught in the middle of being flanked by the enemy, and our army will be annihilated!" Mike instructed

"I know, I know!" said Jimmy, hanging up the communicator

"Brothers, even if we are going to blow up the whole palace tonight, we will capture that bastard king alive, do you hear that?!" shouted Jimmy, with a dark face

"Hear me!" shouted in unison

The battle was extremely tragic, with thick smoke billowing and flames rising to the sky. The opponent has been hiding in a hidden bunker, shooting at the stormtroopers of the Aurora Corps. Most of the tanks of the corps were stuck in the open space on the inside of the palace full of obstacles. Earlier, two warplanes were also shot down by anti-aircraft rocket artillery because they flew too low. The Aurora Corps can only use the flesh and blood of the charging soldiers to step forward to find out where the machine guns are hidden. A barrage of bombardment ensued. Street fighting is an extremely difficult challenge for the Aurora Corps. One warrior fell, and the other immediately charged. But even if they are firing on all cylinders and fighting for a long time, they can only slowly advance little by little...

Although more than an hour has passed unconsciously, the battlefield is still in a state of stalemate. At this moment, Mike, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, was in the command center, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Report to Patriarch Mike, the main force of the other party has suddenly appeared in the southeast of the palace!" said correspondent A

"What?!!It's impossible! It takes at least eight to ten hours to fix the bridge. Do you see clearly? Is it some other armed force?!How long do they have to get to the battlefield?!

"Judging from the markings on the tank, it should be right, it is the main armored division of the opponent. It's just that it's not all in numbers, it seems to be their vanguard. Based on the current movement speed of the opponent, it is estimated that it will be possible to reach the battlefield in about forty minutes. Correspondent A replied

Mike thought to himself, 'Oh no! Could it be that they came from a path that no one knew about?'

"Pass my order to let a 'Thunder Eagle' transport plane full of cash fly as fast as possible to the other party's inevitable way to the palace and scatter money. Remember to shout all the time through loudspeakers, they don't dare to slaughter the people openly. Delay me for as long as you can!Time is everything now!" Mike ordered

"Yes, yes!" replied Correspondent A

The so-called war situation is changing rapidly, and Mike, the 'old accountant', has made a lot of calculations, but he still hasn't calculated: the blitzkrieg planned to seize the palace has now turned into a protracted tug-of-war. What he didn't expect even more was that a hidden path could suddenly emerge so that the enemy's main force could rush back to the city in time! His 'little ledger' of exchanging time and space was disrupted by reality......

Now on the battlefield, both sides are racing against time to seize precious time. If Jimmy had stormed the palace ahead of time and captured the king alive, the kingdom of Shata would have their first queen. If the armored mixed division arrives on the battlefield in time, the Spark of the Wing Clan and the old king's beloved daughter, the titular 'leader' of the rebels, will be wiped out and fall into the abyss from which they will never recover...

The scene shifts to the interior of the Shata City Palace at this moment

The new emperor, usurper, and cousin of the old king Gipdo II, Greg was huddled in the palace and waited for reinforcements to arrive.

"Haven't you contacted the Minister of Defense yet?!" Greg questioned

"All of our external contacts have been inexplicably interrupted. I think it was hacked! But I sent out two carrier pigeons, which I guess would have been to the Ministry of Defense long ago. Don't worry too much, the king is about to have reinforcements on the way. The assistant minister on the side replied

"I guess?!Probably not?!Don't you see that the enemy is about to enter the palace?!Are you deliberately waiting to collect Lao Tzu's body?!I tell you! If Lao Tzu can't survive, I will let you all be a cushion for Lao Tzu!" Greg shouted as he kicked the assistant who was kneeling on the ground with his right foot

"The little one will confirm again, and then confirm the information!" the assistant minister rushed out with a roll

At this moment, Greg turned around and stared at the two frightened palace maids behind him with two big bright eyes, and said, "Do you want to die?!

The two frightened little palace maids immediately started to breastfeed, and fanned the long-handled fan the size of the basin hard.

For some reason, at this moment, even in the air-conditioned room and under the fan, Greg was still sweating all over his body. He knew that he had done a lot of evil, as if he had a bad premonition. He had never believed in any gods, but at this time he even began to fold his hands and prayed sincerely.

At this moment, in the rear of the Aurora Corps, Eva, who is holding the "Draft Referendum" in her right hand, is also anxiously waiting for the battle situation ahead. The draft in her hand hovered between the 'Shang Fang Sword' and the butt polishing paper... Because without the strong support of the Wing Clan's Aurora Corps, she would just be a wanted A-class fugitive in Shata Country.

"Everyone, come out and pick up the money! These are your hard-earned money! Come out and get it!" the loudspeaker on the Thunderhawk transport plane kept broadcasting

"Wow! pie is really falling from the sky! Tell the three aunts and six women to come out and pick up the money!" shouted passers-by on the street

"God has finally appeared!" said an old man, throwing away his crutches and looking up to the sky

"Dad, there's a plane in the sky scattering money! Come downstairs and pick it up!" said the little boy who had just gone out to get soy sauce to his father on the phone

"Neurotic!Little ghost, don't make excuses for Lao Tzu!Go and come back quickly!" The middle-aged man in the vest replied while lying on the sofa with his toes buttoned (after hanging up the phone, he clasped his nostrils with the hand he had just picked his foot... )

After a while, on the way to the palace, a large number of melon-eating people gathered to pick up money. The rain of money danced slowly in the sky. At this moment, the streets are like heaven, with laughter and screams.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and everyone stood on the spot.

"Those who stand in the way will be sentenced to death for the crime of delaying the fighter plane, and they will be shot on the spot!" shouted a soldier standing on a tank with a loudspeaker

To say that human potential is unlimited, it is not false at all. In the blink of an eye, the streets that were still chaotic just now are now nowhere to be seen. Only a few howls of night owls remained......

It seems that Mike's obstructive actions did not work in the slightest in the face of the iron-blooded ace armored division. They quickly made their way through the obstacle zone, the brand-new bills twisted and deformed under the crush of the armored 'monsters', leaving deep track marks. After a while, the vanguard of the opposing party came to the back of the Aurora Corps.

There was a loud 'boom'

A shell hit the butt of the command tank on which Jimmy was sitting from behind. Suddenly the tank glowed red, but fortunately it did not penetrate the fuel tank. Jimmy and the rest of the tank crew quickly climbed out of the paralyzed scrap metal, then jumped into another armored vehicle to continue directing.

"First and second stormtroopers, even if all the people behind you are dead, I won't allow you to turn back once! Your only mission tonight is forward! forward!" shouted Jimmy

"Team Three, turn the muzzle of the gun and blow up all the annoying rats behind our butts!" ordered Jimmy again

"Yes!" shouted in unison

But in fact, both Jimmy and Mike, who was leading all the personal guards to the battlefield, knew very well that they were just making a final struggle. Even if they fail, even if they are buried in the flames, they will die vigorously and stand up to the sky! Because this is for Eva, for the old king, for Jessica, for Kathy, and even more for the entire Wing Clan and the people of Shata Country!

No matter when and where the war takes place, it is like a giant meat grinder that is hungry, relentlessly chewing and devouring the flesh and blood of both sides. Its true brutality is always a thousand times more shocking than what is described in the books! But every time people forget the painful lessons of the past, someone will quietly summon this bloodthirsty 'beast'......

"Hahaha! Reinforcements have finally arrived!" cried King Greg with his ecstatic head cautiously poked out

"It is said that the king is blessed with great fortune, how can those mud legs be compared!" said the palace assistants

"God willing, God must have heard my prayer and been touched by my sincerity! It must be, it must be—" Greg exclaimed with joy

The scene cuts to Jimmy, who is being attacked on his belly and back

Jimmy jumped out of the armored car excitedly, he threw away his helmet, and while strafing with a submachine gun in his hand, he shouted: "Fight with them! Fight! Ah~~!"

The Aurora warriors behind him also felt the bravery of the leader, and walked forward with him as if they were at home.

But after a while, the steel 'behemoths' on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the momentum of the Aurora Corps, and suddenly stopped all attacks and stopped in place...

"Captain, what's going on?!" asked the four-eyed lieutenant next to Jimmy, puzzled

"I don't know... Maybe it's a manifestation from above...", replied a dark-faced Jimmy
