Chapter 457: Infinite VS Eternal!
Days passed, the Sun rising and setting in the sky.
Garp, Newgate, Kaido, Linlin, and King Harald led Shiryu, King, Marco, Oven, Daifuku, Onigumo, Doberman, and a host of other Elite Officers.
Supported by the 2,000-strong Giant Unit, the 300-strong Kabaneri Troops, and the nearly one million Army Unit that had successively passed through the Star Gate.
On the western side of the Peninsula, an unprecedented World-class offensive and defensive War unfolded against the World Alliance Army of millions.
Five days had passed since Redfield and the other two left by Airplane.
The twelve Super Defense Lines, which the World Alliance Army had spent several years and an incalculable amount of Wealth, Resources, and Manpower to construct, were now reduced to only two precarious lines under the pincer attack of the World Government.
As for the millions of troops that had previously possessed a magnificent Aura, along with the spectacular Scene of tens of thousands of Heavy Howitzers, hundreds of 'Thunder Spear' Armored Vehicles, and the Air Force Fleet composed of thousands of Biplanes and Airships, they had all been swept away.
Among them, the Heavy Howitzers, 'Thunder Spear', and other heavy Weapons and Equipment were naturally confiscated.
Sakazuki was directing the Army Soldiers to pull them into the Star Gate, then hand them over to the team sent by the Staff Department for repair or Recovery.
As for the Soldiers who resisted with Guns, they were all Slaughtered.
There were so many Corpses that the Army had to allocate some Military Strength to carry them to the eastern side of the Peninsula and then throw them into the Magma Lake to be completely burned.
"Huh, are they surrendering?"
In the Command Room of the Command Department on the Sea Star Mainland, Marshal Raimon looked at the holographic Projection on the desk in surprise.
He saw three middle-aged men wearing white military Suits and adorned with various Medals on their Chests walk out from the middle Zone of the eighth Defense Line below, holding a white flag.
Their faces were filled with Fear and Nervousness, and they trembled as they looked at Garp, Newgate, and the others not far away, as if facing a group of Demons or Monsters.
These three were none other than Calvi, the Minister of Defense of Marley, Theo Magath, the Army General, and Monte Negro, the Fleet Admiral of the Middle East Alliance.
As the highest representatives of the World Alliance Army, they requested surrender!
They simply couldn't fight anymore. The damned 'The Rumbling' couldn't break through the opponent's Defense Line and flood into their World, while their own Defense Lines couldn't stop the various incredible Supernatural Attacks of these Otherworld Monsters at all.
"Damn it, that damned Eren actually lied to us!!"
Minister Calvi gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
Since Eren had the Ability of Future Sight, he must have known beforehand that they would be defeated, yet he still told them that this Battle was sure to be won and that The Rumbling was invincible?
He truly believed his nonsense!
"How about I kill them for everyone?"
Across from them, Shiryu took two steps forward, biting a smoking Cigar. His Gaze scanned the surroundings, then grinned and asked.
Although he was somewhat tired of killing these Otherworlders who were as weak as Ants, he knew that these three individuals before him were definitely big fish, and killing them should obtain him a lot of Military Merit.
But who among those present didn't Understand this logic?
"Hehehe, no need to trouble you, I can do it myself~~"
Crocodile, also holding a Cigar in his mouth, walked out, a playful Smile on his face. He didn't care at all about the dense Killing Intent emanating from Shiryu and his gradually turning crimson Pupils.
Since Kuzan had Frozen the Sea Surface on three sides of the Peninsula two days ago, he no longer needed to guard the Star Gate and simply joined the attack on the Defense Lines.
"That's well said, it's exactly what I wanted to say to you, you stupid crocodile."
At this moment, Bullet also spoke, a Cigar in his mouth. He stood with his arms crossed over his Chest, glancing at Crocodile, his black Justice cloak fluttering in the Gunsmoke-filled Wind behind him.
He and Crocodile were both Army Admiral Candidates, so they placed great Importance on this Military Merit. Both wanted to be promoted to the rank of Admiral before the other.
Shiryu, on the other hand, hoped to become an Admiral Candidate so he wouldn't have to be Akainu's Adjutant anymore.
Just like that, several people stood on the scarred Battlefield, confronting each other without yielding, their imposing Aura visibly rising.
In the crowd, Aramaki opened his mouth, wanting to say that he also wanted this Military Merit, but feeling the oppressive Atmosphere, he didn't dare to Speak.
After all, he was currently just a small Colonel.
"Command Department Order: Bring these three back to the Homeland for detention. Everyone else is to be executed on the spot!"
Just then, Sakazuki's voice, filled with a Sense of Oppression, rang out from behind the group. His tall figure in a red Suit attracted everyone's Gaze.
This also caused Shiryu, Bullet, and Crocodile to retract their Aura.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, everyone felt the Ground beneath their feet Tremor, and the amplitude grew larger and larger. Edward Newgate, as an Earthquake User, was most sensitive to this kind of Tremor and immediately looked up towards the far west.
"It's not those things again, is it?"
This Feeling was Familiar to everyone present. Charlotte Oven said with a headache. After fighting for so many days, his Stamina was starting to give out.
But things always tend to develop towards the worst outcome.
Indeed.
Before long, rolling White Mist and Steam appeared on the distant horizon, obscuring the sky and Sun. The thudding footsteps caused everyone to frown.
It was 'The Rumbling', 'The Rumbling' again!
Row after row, the boundless Wall Titans advanced mightily, their Scale far exceeding the previous three-sided encirclement, because they were coming from the more expansive inland Direction.
If the previous 'The Rumbling' was at most on a million Scale, then these before them were the true millions-Scale 'Sea of Giants'!
"This is troublesome now..."
Onigumo said in a deep voice, his Expression grim.
Because his Stamina was also running low, he thought he could go back and rest soon, but he didn't expect the real Combat had just begun.
It wasn't just him and Oven?
After five or six days of War, Slaughtering nearly ten million people and facing the bombardment of nearly ten thousand various heavy Cannons, most of the Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals were already very fatigued, except for Monsters like Garp, Newgate, Linlin, Kaido, and Bullet.
Even Crocodile and Shiryu now needed at least one or two days of rest to recover their energy and Stamina.
"You guys go back and rest first, leave this to me."
Just then, Sakazuki walked towards 'The Rumbling' alone, but Garp frowned and said to him, "You're not planning to create an Active Volcano, are you?"
"Besides this, is there any other way now?"
Sakazuki stopped, turned back to look at Garp, and retorted, then stated his idea.
"According to the Intelligence provided by the Command Department, there are at least tens of millions of these Giants, and it's even very likely they are Infinite. I personally believe that sending you up to confront them is purely a meaningless waste of Stamina."
"Since that's the case, isn't using several eternally erupting Volcanoes and Magma to block these almost Infinite Giant Army the best choice?"
Garp also knew that what he said made sense after hearing it.
It was just that, doing so would also directly ruin the Environment of this area. He knew that Sakazuki could at most create Active Volcanoes, but couldn't Control their disappearance afterward.
"Forget it, This Old Man will just punch the Volcanoes to explode later, and then have that kid Kuzan come over to put out the fire..."
