Warlords: Rise of the System

The bandits' Kyoto Prefecture was now completely engulfed in flames, with flames shooting up into the sky and thick smoke billowing, as if the end of the world had come.

A group of senior officials of the Military Affairs Department are currently hiding in the underground air-raid meeting room.

Yet, even though they were underground, they could still feel the threat posed by the raging fire above.

A fire was raging on the ground above the bomb shelter, draining almost all the oxygen.

Even though the air-raid meeting room was equipped with a large number of ventilation holes, it would be difficult to withstand such a fire.

As time goes by, the temperature in the room gradually rises and the air becomes thinner and thinner.

The high temperature and lack of oxygen made the atmosphere in the air-raid shelter extremely depressing.

The high-ranking bandits were sweating and panting, as if they were in the scorching heat of midsummer.

They waited anxiously, hoping that this nightmare would end soon.

Fortunately, there were several ventilation holes and the flames did not spread.

This allows air to circulate in the air-raid room, avoiding the risk of suffocation.

But even so, the fear in everyone's hearts could not be eliminated.

Finally, after a long wait, the fire on the ground gradually died down.

The senior officials of the Military Affairs Department felt relieved. They couldn't wait to open the cave and prepare to walk out of this hellish place.

When they stepped out of the cave, they were shocked by the sight before them.

The once prosperous Kyoto Prefecture has now been reduced to ruins, with collapsed buildings, blocked streets, and the air filled with smoke and the smell of burning.

Looking at the Kyoto Prefecture that seemed like a purgatory on earth, the high-ranking officials of the Military Affairs Department felt extremely complicated.

This horrific scene made them feel heartbroken, but they could do nothing about it.

Because they knew clearly that the troops they sent invaded Tianlong Kingdom.

The destruction and harm they brought to each other was far more serious than the Kyoto Prefecture where they were now.

However, the grief only lingered briefly in the hearts of these high-ranking bandits.

It wasn't long before they put their grief behind them and replaced it with anger.

At this time, the senior officials of the Military Affairs Department were already overwhelmed with anger, and they were only thinking about how to take revenge on the National Salvation Army.

However, at this moment, a heavy news came, which made them fall into despair in an instant.

The survivors and remaining troops in Kyoto Prefecture, led by several commanders, are working to extinguish those areas that are still burning.

After arduous search and rescue efforts, these survivors made a horrified discovery.

The emperor of the Haisang Empire and many princes and ministers, to whom they were loyal, were killed in this terrible bombing.

When this news reached the top brass of the Military Affairs Department, they were unable to accept this fact and fell into deep grief.

Although the emperor is now almost a puppet, he is still a symbol of the country and can unite the hearts of the people across the country.

But now, the emperor, who was the symbol of the Haisang Empire, was blown to death. This was undoubtedly a great shame for the Haisang Empire.

For these senior officials, this is not only a personal loss, but also a disaster for the entire country.

They felt extremely distressed and indignant, and were determined to avenge the emperor.

However, faced with such a huge blow, they need time to reorganize their forces and formulate strategies to meet the next challenges.

A group of senior officials from the Military Affairs Department sat in the temporary meeting room with solemn expressions. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.

They are well aware that this incident means huge challenges and crises for the country and the nation.

Tanaka Fumio was the first to break the silence, his voice heavy and serious, "Everyone, our emperor has passed away, which undoubtedly brought a great shock to the people of the country.

The public will certainly be shaken by this, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, they knew that what Tanaka Bunio said was true.

At this critical moment, swift action must be taken to respond.

Tanaka Fumio continued, “Putting other matters aside for now, the most urgent task is to select a suitable heir from within the imperial family as soon as possible and have him ascend the throne of the emperor.

Only in this way can we rally the hearts of the people across the country and unite them all.”

The senior officials present all knew that the new emperor would become the symbol and spiritual pillar of the country, and would play a vital role in restoring social order and stabilizing the people's hearts.

"After the situation in the country stabilizes, we will consider how to retaliate against the National Salvation Army." Tanaka Fumio added, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

Everyone agreed and decided to immediately prepare for the emperor's succession and formulate corresponding plans and measures to ensure the stability and development of the country.

At the same time, they also began to discuss strategies to deal with the National Salvation Army and prepare for future battles.

Just as everyone was talking about it, an even more shocking news came.

Takagi Koichi's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the National Salvation Army's air force to be so powerful, it's beyond our imagination.

They actually crossed our homeland and bombed two bombing lines that were several hundred meters wide and more than 3000 kilometers long.

The people and objects within these two bombing lines were almost torn to pieces, and there were no survivors.

The most distressing thing was when the National Salvation Army Air Force passed through our big cities on these two lines.

All these big cities were subjected to their intensive bombing.

These large cities were almost razed to the ground and the casualties were very heavy.

According to our preliminary estimates, the number of casualties is at least more than 200 million, and this number is still increasing."

At this moment, everyone was silent, as if time had stopped, and everyone's face was filled with shock and confusion.

The death of the Emperor had undoubtedly put enormous pressure on them, and now, millions of people had died in the bombing of the Salvation Army, which was even worse.

Yamazaki Kiyokawa frowned and said in confusion, "The National Salvation Army's air force bombed our homeland this time, and we didn't even notice it!

How many planes did they use in the bombing? What models did they use? We don’t know any of this information!

If the National Salvation Army still uses the long-range bombers they used before, we will be able to see their planes clearly even if they carry out high-altitude bombing.

However, if they were using ordinary bombers, their range would not be able to fly such a long distance.

After all, they need to carry out bombing across our mainland, and the round-trip distance is basically more than 7000 kilometers.

Even their long-range bombers could not have such a long range.

More importantly, no matter what type of bomber they used, it would be impossible for them to carry enough bombs to complete a bombing mission of this scale.

So, what kind of aircraft enabled the National Salvation Army to carry out a comprehensive bombing of our homeland? "

Yamazaki Kiyokawa's face was full of confusion, and his eyes revealed his worry and speculation about the strength of the National Salvation Army.

This question also troubled other high-ranking figures of the bandits, and they all fell into deep thought, trying to find the answer.

Could it be that the National Salvation Army really possessed a bomber with an extremely long range and a huge payload?

This possibility made them feel uneasy, as if an invisible pressure was looming over their hearts.

The high-ranking members of the bandits could not help but shudder, a deep sense of fear rising in their hearts.
