Chapter 857 Ulysses' Anxiety

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

At the end of the counter-attack in Dark Town, when the news spread back to the ancient city, the Hurricane Legion had disappeared.

Yurisses and Dabinett didn't dare to think about how cruel and sinister the news was.

This kind of abnormal situation seemed normal in their eyes. The Hurricane Legion deliberately slowed down their march because they weren't on the same side as Scana.

As for how slow their march was, it was up to Lieutenant General Thornton, the commander of the Hurricane Corps, to control it himself.

Even if they couldn't make it to Luo De Town, Scana would feel hopeful. He would even stop the army and wait for them to meet up.

The speed was too slow. After Scana and the drug dealers in Dark Town were both injured, if they couldn't join the battlefield immediately, they would give the enemy time to recover.

These were undoubtedly not what the Hurricane Corps wanted. What the Hurricane Corps wanted was to rush out and pick peaches after Scana failed without meeting up with him.

The yardstick was very difficult to grasp.

The only way is to take a shortcut.

At the beginning of the war, the Hurricane Corps directly passed through the barren mountains and dense forests at the border between the New Silver Nation and Lonely Province, heading straight for Dark Town.

Thornton even specially made a map of the march to Dabinett. The route on the map was extremely bad, but with the quality of a major force like the Hurricane Corps, it could be completely overcome. Most importantly, although this route was not easy to take, it would save hundreds of kilometers of distance compared to taking the regular road.

Dabinett and Yurisses were also extremely satisfied with this route and immediately acknowledged it.

Not long ago, when the war in Dark Town was about to end, Lieutenant General Thornton had already sent news that more than 20,000 members of the Hurricane Legion who had abandoned heavy firepower had already set up camp ten kilometers away from Dark Town. After the war ended, they would rush out at lightning speed.

Now that the time was up, Lieutenant General Thornton had already brought the Hurricane Legion with him before they arrived at the hospital. If their speed wasn't too slow, the two sides might even have exchanged fire by now.

There are at least 40,000 drug dealers in Dark Town, facing the Hurricane Corps...

Yurisses's heart was in turmoil. Theoretically speaking, the combat strength of the 40,000 plus drug dealers was simply incomparable to that of the 20,000 plus Hurricane Corps. However, there were still quite a few elites of the royal family in Dark Town. He had no confidence in how this war would turn out.

"I really can't lose anymore."

Yurisses muttered to himself. He turned to look at Dabinett and said, "Contact Scana immediately. Tell him to press down all the remaining aircraft to support the Hurricane Corps."

Dabinett looked calm on the surface, but a trace of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was about to compromise with Scana about Elvin, but he was worried that he could not find an opportunity to convince Yurisses. Now, it seemed that this opportunity was coming to him.

"If that's the case, Scana might have something to say. He might even give us some conditions."

Dabinett took a deep breath and pretended to speak calmly.

"As long as it's not too excessive, you can promise him that we won't be able to afford to lose the Hurricane Corps at this time."

Yurisses said without hesitation. The Hurricane Corps was obviously Dabinett's power, but Yurisses was even more anxious than Dabinett. In the final analysis, they really couldn't afford to lose the war in Dark Town.

There were only 1.5 million U.S. Troops in total, but the Breakout War and the two counter-offensive wars, together with the Hurricane Corps, had brought in nearly 100,000 people in Dark Town. This was one fifteenth of the total number of U.S. Troops, including the Third Field Corps, the Giant Elite Division, and the Hurricane Corps, which were truly elite troops.

Apart from that, the destruction Lin Xuanyuan had brought with him in the United States had also caused heavy losses to the U.S. Army. Adding on the various losses he had invested in Dark Town, this was the loss of nearly 200,000 troops.

Two hundred thousand troops!

What was this concept?

It was close to one-seventh of the power of the Military Force.

The rest of the army looked like there were still a lot of people, but there were still quite a few of them stationed outside the country.

Military forces stationed in Korea.

The U.S. Army stationed in Japan.

Military European Command.

Pacific Command...

These were the forces of the United States stationed abroad. Their existence guaranteed the ruling power of the United States in the international arena. Together, this group of people numbered close to 100,000.

Now, after experiencing such a huge loss, the U.S. Army only had about one million troops in the country.

This looked like a lot of numbers, but the territory of the United States was also huge. Every state, every city, and every county needed a certain number of troops to maintain the social stability of the entire United States.

Most importantly, in the next war with the Divine Continent Empire, there was clearly not enough Pacific Command. The US army had to dispatch a large number of troops to the frontlines of the Divine Continent Empire to fight. Under such circumstances, the US could use them to deal with Dark Town, and the troops dealing with Hualeishi were already at a disadvantage.

There are not many surplus troops available.

This was the thing that frightened Yurisses the most!

What did this mean?

This meant that once they didn't have any extra troops to attack Dark Town, Then the frontlines of the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire would be completely stable in Dark Town. With Hualeishi as the main camp, the royal family's troops around the world, and the elites of the Divine Continent Empire would continuously appear in Dark Town, or rather, not only in Dark Town.

Once they became a climate, the surrounding area of El Paso would be devoured by them, and the imperial and Divine Continent armies would charge into Lonely Continent like locusts.

The entire Lonely Continent would fall bit by bit, and then the New Silver Nation Continent...

It was no exaggeration to say that as long as the Imperial Clan stabilized their front lines in Dark Town and allowed their troops to pour into the United States endlessly, the territory of the United States would gradually be occupied by the enemy, and it was not impossible for them to return to Federation City.

At that time, they would be facing the gates of the city!

Of course, the United States could also dispatch troops to destroy the frontlines of Dark Town at all costs. Moreover, it seemed that they had more than one choice, but these choices were clearly not what Yurisses wanted.

First, regardless of the stability of all parts of the country, they would dispatch troops to attack Dark Town.

Second, he could only draw people from the frontlines of the Divine Continent Empire.

Yurisses did not dare to imagine how chaotic the first option would be at home.

And the second...

Once the American army moved their men to the frontlines, it basically meant that they had lost the war with the Divine Continent Empire.

Perhaps the war could be postponed?

Yurisses subconsciously thought of a third option, but then he shook his head and rejected his idea.

Postpone the direct war with the Divine Continent Empire, This is a blow to the confidence of our allies, At present, Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines have all decided to send troops. Treasure Island has also agreed to lend the two military ports on the island to the Allied Coalition Forces. The operation is already imminent, and action will be taken within a day or two. At this time, the United States, as the leading side, once the war is postponed, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Therefore, the best way now was to use all of the rice troops they still had to counter-attack Dark Town and completely destroy the Imperial Clan's frontlines.

Otherwise, once the Divine Continent Empire and the imperial family's army were allowed to enter, the United States would be unable to take care of them, and their defeat would become a foregone conclusion.

The army of the Divine Continent Empire was famous all over the world. Once they charged into the United States in large numbers, there would be no need for war.

'"I've already contacted Scana. He agreed to let the remaining dozens of fighter jets return to the battlefield. However, the firepower of the fighter jets is already insufficient, and the effect is likely to be rather limited. For this, we must pay the price to preserve his status."

Dabinett put down the phone in his hand and looked at Yurisses.

After all, what the Hurricane Legion had done this time was a bit too ugly. They didn't enter when Scana led the tens of thousands of meters war, but rushed out after the war was over. The method of harvesting the fruits of victory was a bit too f*cking stupid. It was impossible to convince Scana to send troops again without paying the slightest price.

"Continue to contact Lieutenant General Thornton!"

Yurisses's heart grew more and more irritated. The Hurricane Corps was an important force that would destroy the Imperial Clan's frontlines. If he really suffered an inexplicable loss, he would have to die of grievance. As for Scana's request, he didn't even think about it to protect his status?

The higher-ups of the United States had suffered heavy casualties. They could just casually give him the position of general as long as he was willing to give up the Marine Corps. After they annexed the Hoventon Group, what would happen to Scana, who had been transferred out of the Marine Corps?

There was no need to worry.

"Gentlemen, does Dark Town seem to have encountered some trouble?"

Earlaen , who had been watching Yurisses and Dabinett's expressions from the sidelines, suddenly asked.

Yurisses was stunned for a moment. Looking at Earlaen 's calm face, his somewhat gloomy mood finally gained a glimmer of hope.

He smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, the second counterattack led by Scana failed again, and it was a tragic defeat. The Hurricane Legion is likely to have been ambushed by now, and we don't have much manpower left to continue attacking Dark Town. The current situation is very difficult."

"How many more people can we mobilize to Dark Town?"

Earlaen asked calmly. Although he was a Marshal of the Military Force, he had only been in office for a short period of time. Most of the time, he had fallen into a coma. He really did not have enough time to understand the military system.

"There are at most 200,000 people left."

Yurisses shook his head. "And these 200,000 people are from all over the world. If we want to mobilize them, we need time. A long time, at least a month."

"200,000 people? Just give me 50,000 people. Coincidentally, I will recover almost in a month. I will personally go to Dark Town and bring it back."

Earlaen smiled and said confidently.
