"One shot decided a war of 20 million people", a catchy and at the same time unbelievable title, in just a few minutes, spread to every corner of the planet through a virtual network. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It sounds incredible, even absurd, but throughout human history, it seems that similar events can always be found, such as hundreds of years ago, a country called the United States, in its Revolutionary War, because of the mercy of an opposing soldier, the first president of the country and so on.

Who would have thought that the South American campaign, which had attracted countless eyes, would end in such a dramatic way.

But facts are facts, there is no doubt that this particular war will eventually become an alternative classic and go down in history, and two names are remembered, Jonathan James, sniper of XX Special Company, XX Special Company of the Ethereal Army Special Operations Command, and Su Bin, assault officer.

The former's shot accurately hit the car of the commander-in-chief of the IPU's South American Theater and the chief of the General Staff, causing the aircraft to fall. The latter, on the other hand, successfully infiltrated the aircraft and crashed to the ground, giving a fatal shot to the seriously injured Chief of the General Staff. As for the commander-in-chief, unfortunately, his luck was very bad, the wreckage of the falling aircraft pierced his heart and lungs, and he had stopped breathing before he even waited for Su Bin's arrival.

As a result, not only the IPU, but even the ethereal military who planned this classic decapitation operation were a little stunned, their original target was only the chief of the general staff, but they never expected that the result would be buy one get one free, and a commander-in-chief with a higher position was added.

This bad news, which should have been kept strictly secret, was later leaked for unknown reasons, and the most direct consequence was that the tens of millions of troops in the South American theater of the IPU were in an uproar immediately, and their morale fell to the bottom, and even mutinies and even uprisings occurred in many positions.

Confusion, incomparable chaos, when this confusion infects the entire army, the ethereal army on the other side will naturally not let go of this heavenly opportunity, after a fierce attack, it only took a month to end the battle, and finally occupy the whole of South America.

In this battle, the Ethereal Army lost no more than 10,000 casualties, while the IPU left behind 450,000 corpses, and as many as 6 million people became prisoners, and only about 3 million people actually evacuated the battlefield.

A crushing defeat for one side also means a wild victory for the other.

The aftermath of this battle did not end, because after this battle, the IPU not only suffered heavy losses, but was also ruthlessly extinguished the spirit of resistance that had just been established, and since then, the IPU has entered a complete defensive position.

Of course, in the eyes of many, at least on the surface, because of this.

But in fact, in addition to the fiasco in the South American campaign, there is another more important reason for such a strategic change in the IPU, but unfortunately, only a handful of people know this secret, and they are all silent.

The Blue Light Force, the most secret unit on which the IPU has high hopes, is on the verge of turning back.

This defection came so suddenly that there was not even a hint of warning in advance, and even in the process, a series of false information was sent to the headquarters, resulting in a mere thousand troops, and in one month, all the power of faith that the IPU had accumulated for hundreds of years was exhausted.

The reason why the Conference Alliance was so easily deceived was that the Blue Light Force and the Ethereal Army had directed a big drama that was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

The Blue Light Force secretly intercepted an important piece of information, thus cracking down on the hiding location of the Empress Qinyin of the Ethereal City, and using this as an excuse to hand in a top-secret battle plan.

Faced with this great temptation, coupled with the continuous defeat on the battlefield, the IPU finally agreed to this battle plan, and mobilized a large number of resources to secretly send all the Blue Light troops into the jurisdiction of the Ethereal City.

And so, the show began.

As the dictator of the Ethereal City, Qin Yin naturally has extremely tight defenses around him, and the blue light troops who carried out the decapitation mission unfortunately triggered the alarm device and had to launch an attack in advance, but fortunately, relying on their strong strength, they quickly broke through many obstacles and blocked Qin Yin in a manor.

The battle became more and more intense, and in order to be able to successfully complete this mission, the IPU decisively issued a task of full support, and no longer set a cap on the output of the power of faith.

As a result, the attack became extremely fluid, destroying countless enemies, and the corresponding consumption of the power of faith also made the IPU painful.

And then...... There is no more then.

Until the IPU's centuries-old reserves of faith were exhausted, they could not wait for a perfect result, and even lost contact with the Blue Light Force forever.

At this point, as long as you are not a fool, you have already guessed that you have been fooled.

But at this point, what can the IPU do but wail and remorse?

To put it bluntly, it was precisely because of the defection of the Blue Light Force that the IPU finally made the decision to defend on all fronts.

After losing West Asia and South America in succession, the IPU has lost more than 40% of its territory, leaving only Europe and North America.

Fortunately, the Ethereal Army was not carried away by the successive victories, not only did it not continue the offensive in one go, but instead ceased fire on all fronts.

Of course, the reason for this is not that the Ethereal Cities have good intentions, but that the territory is expanding too fast, and the military power needed to take over these cities is far from satisfying.

In order to avoid the occurrence of riots in the rear, for the sake of prudence, the ethereal army had to stop and began a period of digestion work.

And once these newly occupied territories are fully controlled, it is foreseeable that the time will be for the Ethereal Army to attack again.

In order to better cope with the future war, the entire House of Representatives reached a very unanimous tacit understanding, and even shouted the slogan "everything makes way for war".

In the remaining jurisdiction, the impregnable defense lines have risen rapidly at any cost, and it is not difficult to imagine that these defense lines will definitely make the ethereal army pay an even more painful price in the future.

In the past two and a half years, while the Ethereal Army has been winning one after another, on the other hand, the Xuan Cultivation Army led by Zhan Bai is also inseparable from the Meditation Cultivation Army.

Different from the successive battles of the Ethereal City, the battlefield that relies on high technology is stacked, and there are too many factors that dominate the final result.

Discipline, experience, logistics, and even luck have all of these advantages, and in just two and a half years, they have embezzled more than 40% of the IPU's territory.

In contrast, the war between monks, although also determined by various factors, is less important logistics and luck, and more depends on strength.

Comparatively speaking, in this war between Zhanbai and meditation, both sides can be said to have their own advantages.

Let's talk about Zhanbai's side first, the 100,000 blood refining army is undoubtedly a big murderous aura on the battlefield, and there may not be a similar army under Chi You's command, but at least it does not exist among the remaining five million cultivators on the earth. In addition, Zhanbai's advantage lies in its high-end combat power.

The so-called high-end combat power refers to the strong people who have cultivated to reach the Taiyi True Monarch Realm, not to mention the army of spiritual cultivation at this time, even if they are at the peak before they have withdrawn, it is impossible to have more strong people than under Zhan Bai.

Of course, the side of the Meditation Cultivation Army is not without advantages, and the biggest advantage is its overall cultivation and combat effectiveness, as well as ten times the number.

Five million cultivators and five million demons are a total of 10 million people, which is ten times more than the million under Zhan Bai's command? What's more, the overall cultivation strength of the meditation cultivation army also occupies a certain advantage compared to the uneven good and bad under Zhan Bai's command.

Through comparison, it is not difficult to know that in the case of each with its own advantages, if you want to win this dragon and tiger fight, it is more necessary to rely on strategy and the play of the battle.
