Although the United States is the number one hegemon in the world today, its control over the Dark World has never been strong.
The Dark World was a very special place. This wasn't just a hidden war between nations. All sorts of things that couldn't be seen, all sorts of people that couldn't be seen could find their place in the Dark World.
No one in the Dark World would deny the power of aircraft, missiles, and nuclear weapons. However, these were all national strategic resources. To them, they were too far away, at least far away from personal force.
In recent decades, In the dark world, America's strongest man was only Rodriguez, who was once known as the Destroyer, He was known as the strongest man in North America, But even at his peak, he was barely above the World-shaking threshold. More than three years ago, after Rodriguez and Lin Xuanyuan were severely injured, his battle prowess had been reduced by more than half, relying on a few X-class experts. As a result, America's control over the Dark World had plummeted.
Their strength in the Dark World was naturally unquestionable, but in terms of influence and deterrence, they were far inferior to the royal family. It was not an exaggeration to say that the two were not on the same level at all.
Especially after Lin Xuanyuan joined the Imperial Clan and became the Imperial Clan's War God King, the control of the Imperial Clan in the Dark World was almost at its peak.
At this time, they encountered a war between the Divine Continent Empire and the United States, America introduced Atlas, At first, it wasn't that he didn't have the intention to use Atlas's martial power to expand his control over the Dark World, This world that ordinary people basically couldn't come into contact with was enough to affect too many things, and could even affect the balance of war. If Atlas could be used to regain control of the Dark World, I believe no one in the United States would be unwilling to do so.
And Atlas had the strength.
However, this super power that was brought in by the high profile of the United States lacked some luck.
How terrifying was Atlas at his peak?
There were five World-shaking Grade Sovereigns, including an invincible figure and a Sovereign Giant. Gaztu, Red-cloak and Black-cloak had a bright future ahead of them. Under World-shaking Grade, there were nearly 50 X-level experts. Their strength was even stronger than the current imperial clan.
However, their strategy of slowly infiltrating the United States in batches was a huge mistake.
Red-robed died in battle.
The black-robed man died in battle.
A large number of X-class experts were lost, and the Paladins were shattered.
All these losses had exceeded Atlas's bottom line. By the time Earlaen personally brought his men to the United States, everything had already reached an irreparable stage.
But even so, Atlas was still qualified to compete with the royal family for control of the Dark World. This was because it was still unknown, especially when Wang Fuyu was captured. The large number of royal experts entering the United States gave Atlas an excellent opportunity.
The war at St. Mary's Hospital was regarded by Earlaen as the most important war.
However, the most important war this time was filled with accidents.
Lin Xuanyuan had thoroughly broken through in the battle of death, becoming one of the world-shaking supreme beings.
The four top X-class fighters of the Shentu bloodline rebelled on the spot.
Yurisses's thoughts were even more impure, and he had actually recovered Wang Fuyu's fighting strength.
Not a single one of these surprises was good news for Atlas.
Thus, failure was logical.
After this battle, Atlas' vitality was greatly damaged, but the imperial family's momentum was greatly increased because Lin Xuanyuan had become a supreme being, completely suppressing Atlas's limelight.
This battle was extremely dangerous for the royal family, but it had completely fulfilled the royal family's wish and Lin Xuanyuan's wish.
Although the United States was stronger than Rodriguez, its influence in the Dark World had been reduced to the lowest point.
Thus, even though the United States had invited the various mercenary corps and assassin organizations of the Dark World to form an elite corps of the Dark World from the very beginning of the war, this plan had not succeeded until now.
After knowing that they were going to fight against the royal family, almost all of the mercenary corps rejected the invitation of the US government. Even though the US government offered a much higher commission than usual, they were still unable to invite these mercenary corps to take action.
After the Federation City War, the desperate power of the royal family had already entered the hearts of the people. Even Atlas could not stop the royal family. Naturally, the rest of the Dark World did not dare to continue to fight against the royal family.
In this extremely awkward situation, it was easy to imagine how pleasantly surprised Teglas was when he found out about the relationship between Aresis and Admiral Scana.
As a high-ranking member of the United States, He knew very well that Yurisses had tried to invite the Night Mercenaries to help at the outset of the war, Yurisses hoped that the Night Mercenary Corps, with Commander Aresis personally taking action, For this reason, he was willing to pay the Night Mercenary Group $90 million a month on behalf of the U.S. Government. In addition, the U.S. Government was also willing to provide no less than $2,500 a month to each mercenary of the Night Mercenary Group until the end of the war.
Yurisses also promised that if the United States could win after the war, the Night Mercenary Group would receive a certain amount of war dividends.
The Night Mercenary Corps would not refuse this offer if it was before the end of the Federation City War.
However, while the Night Mercenary Corps was still considering it, the capital of the United States was reduced to ruins. Atlas was defeated. As soon as the news spread, the Night Mercenary Corps rejected the invitation of the U.S. Government.
Money and wealth were indeed good things, but the Night Mercenary Corps obviously wouldn't go against the royal family for this.
But now, Teglas had learned that Night Mercenary Guild Leader Aresis was Admiral Scana's younger brother!
This was definitely a pleasant surprise.
The Night Mercenary Corps spanned Africa, West Asia, and South America, with a total of nearly 80,000 people. This was a true colossus. The exact strength of the Mercenary Corps Leader, Aresis, was unknown, but judging from his past battle record, his weakest strength was still a top-grade X-class expert.
Now that the mercenary king of the mercenary world had arrived in Lonely Continent and provided protection for Teglas and Scana, Teglas no longer had to worry about his safety.
At this moment, Governor Teglas felt completely at ease.
"This is really good news."
Governor Teglas took a deep breath and looked at Admiral Scana with a heartfelt smile in his eyes.
"I think so too."
Admiral Scana nodded and said, "This may be the only good news."
"What do you mean?"
'"Well, old friend, you haven't told me why you think we don't have a week," he continued, pausing in a puzzled tone.
"Because …"
Just as Scanner spoke, someone knocked on the door of the study. Before Teglass could respond, the door was pushed open. Teglass's secretary appeared at the door with a remote control and said nervously, "Mr. Governor, President Yurisses ' video communication."
Tigeras' expression changed abruptly as he subconsciously looked at Scana.
A bitter smile flashed on Scana's face and he shrugged, "Do you understand now? Everyone will give us a week, but Yurisses won't, and neither will Dabinett."
The expression on Teglas's face changed. He seemed to have figured something out. He let out an angry roar and said coldly, "Take it in."
The secretary heaved a sigh of relief and quickly pressed the answer button on the remote control. She turned around and retreated immediately.
In the study, the screen hanging on the wall suddenly lit up, and the somewhat tired but more excited Yurisses appeared on the screen.
"Good morning, Governor. Oh, and Admiral."
Before Teglas and Scana could say anything, Yurisses had already taken the initiative to speak with a calm tone.
"Good morning, Mr. President."
Teglas asked casually, but Scana stood up and bowed to Yurisses in silence.
The corner of Yurisses's mouth twitched. His eyes were sharp as he looked at the silent Scana. "Admiral, It had to be admitted that, Your war mobilization order was issued very quickly, "The declaration of war is tacit with your cooperation, but I don't understand why the Marine Corps are sending troops to Lonemoon even though I have rejected your mobilization order. I need an explanation because it has caused me a lot of trouble and even messed up the war plan of the war headquarters to a certain extent."
"Sorry, Mr. President."
'"I am also a member of the War Command, but before the mobilization order, I had never heard of any plans from the War Command. The reason I sent troops to Lonemoon State is very simple, that is, this war must be fought, and we will fight. You know what I mean."
"This is your determination?!"
Yurisses remained silent for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, this is my determination. It cannot be changed. No one can stop me, not even if he is the President of the United States or a senior representative."
Scana straightened his body, his eyes resolute.
Yurisses stopped talking and looked at Scana quietly.
Scana looked at Yurisses without any hesitation.
"Looks like you're really determined."
Yurisses nodded and continued, "In that case, I can give you a chance."
"Oh?"
Scana calmly raised his eyebrows.
"Bring it back to Dark Town. You can fight this war, but I hope to see the results as soon as possible. I hope that you can bring it back within 36 hours of the end of the counter-attack. In other words, you still have 24 hours to prepare!"
Yurisses said indifferently.
Scanner's heart sank. At this moment, he finally understood why Huo Wenton's series of decisions were so crazy. He also understood that after suffering a huge loss, Huo Wenton would not take a step back and would even be captured by those drug dealers.
His worries were completely correct. Yurisses had really given him a time limit to get back to Dark Town. It was precisely because of this time limit that Huo Wenton could not take a single step back.
"It's not possible!"
Before Scana could say anything, Teglas shouted, "Twenty-four hours is too tight, Mr. President. We can't even gather too many troops at this time. We..."
"Do you want to say that you can't do it?"
Yurisses smiled gloomily. "That's fine. I'll send someone to take charge of the war in Dark Town. You guys return to the ancient city and resume your orders immediately. In 24 hours, my people will definitely be able to take back Dark Town."
"You!"
Teglas, who was already furious, burst into a rage.
"I agree!"
A deep voice sounded.
Scana raised his head and looked coldly at Yurisses on the screen. He said coldly, "I promise you, I will definitely take him back to Dark Town in twenty-four hours!"
"What if you don't get it back?"
Yurisses asked intentionally or unintentionally.
General Scana's eyes were red from anger. He gritted his teeth and roared, "I promise to bring it back to Dark Town within twenty-four hours. I am willing to issue a warrant!"
He knew that this was the result Yurisses wanted the most, but he could not help but give it.
If they didn't agree, they would even lose their last chance.
Twenty-four hours was tense, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Very well, Admiral, Governor, remember what you said. You have 24 hours. I will issue your warrant to the entire United States. If you fail to fulfill your promise, I will personally send you to court-martial!"
"Pa!"
The screen of the study suddenly darkened, and the video communication was directly hung up.
"Twenty-four hours, are you crazy? We simply can't gather enough troops!"
Teglas was silent for a moment, then looked at Scana and asked.
"Do you have any other choice? This is our last chance! How many troops do we have in twenty-four hours?"
Scana took a deep breath and asked slowly.
Teglas took two steps back and smiled miserably, "There are at most 50,000 people. This is the limit. The rest of the army is too far away from us."
"Enough."
Scana nodded and suddenly said, "I still have ten thousand troops."
"Huh?"
Tigeras was stunned.
"Yes, I still have ten thousand troops! Or rather, I have ten thousand elite mercenaries from the Night Mercenary Corps! They have already followed my younger brother to Lonely Continent, so with your fifty thousand men, we have sixty thousand meters in total. That's enough!"
Ten thousand elite mercenaries of the Night Mercenary Corps!
Without a doubt, this was the weapon in Scana's hand.
It was also his greatest trump card!
