The people on the northwestern border remained ceaselessly vigilant, their horses always saddled, awaiting a command to charge north into the Soviet Union.
The people on the northeastern border were all ard and drilled, ready to invade the Soviet Union and establish a base behind enemy lines at a mont’s notice.
This resolute attitude of the masses sent chills down the spine.
Especially the final scene, where a plane carrying a massive ’warhead’ rushed towards Siberia, making Blue Star players suspect it might be the Republic’s nuclear bomb.
But considering the Republic’s technology, they likely didn’t possess the intercontinental missiles that the Soviet Union did.
So, they could only use planes to carry the nuclear bomb into the Soviet Union’s territory.
And what this implies is self-evident....
No return.
These simple four words represent a resolve that pierced through the CG and struck everyone’s hearts.
Has the fight begun?
What ultimately happened to the Republic?
This is what Blue Star players are currently most eager to know.
But knowing Zhao’s reputation for stretching plotlines, they estimate it might take another half a year to uncover the outco.
After all, considering the Normandy Landing battlefield back then.
A battlefield that existed since the server opened, yet the storyline only erged in 1944, leaving just one year before World War II ended.
The visual representation of the Republic endured several ’nuclear threats’ coupled with previous wars.
It’s clear the outco won’t be known too soon.
This leaves Blue Star players restless, while Yu Feng, upon regaining composure, remarked in reflection:
"The slayer of dragons eventually becos the dragon."
The United States and the Soviet Union portrayed in the visuals were the victor of World War II, standing for justice in the eyes of Blue Star players.
Yet the scenes and tactics involving ’nuclear threats’ in the CG had beco reminiscent of the old Imperials.
However, previous CG footage also showed the greedy giant bear and the defiant bald eagle dividing the world, so it wasn’t completely unacceptable.
This CG segnt also resolved so of the confusion following the red dragon’s illusory dismantling.
It seems that breaking through wasn’t so simple after all.
Just the myriad ’nuclear threat’ images in this CG alone depicted the pressure faced after the red dragon’s apparition was shattered.
At this mont, Yu Feng was filled with interest, comnting along with the live stream:
"Zhao talks about ’Cold War Clouds’, the first half being major power struggles, right?"
"Based on the CG images just now, it’s best to choose the U.S. or the Soviets."
"This early encounter with the Republic might trigger so storyline."
"And as long as there is no war, one shouldn’t die so easily. Brothers, vote, which side should I pick?"
Yu Feng initiated a poll in the live stream room.
And at that mont.
The settlent prompt appeared.

Yellowed old photographs slowly erged on the settlent panel, family portraits, many faces Yu Feng didn’t recognize on these photos.
However, recognizing so of them took his breath away.
The ones he recognized were NPCs he had once inhabited, lingering in his mory.
For example, the bearded middle-aged man holding a young girl in an old yellow photo. He was an Allied commander on the North African Battlefield.
The reason Yu Feng rembered him vividly is because he once embodied this commanding officer.
The fate was peculiar.
He was thrown dozens of ters by a cannon and smashed to death upon landing, which left an impression of that identity.
Yet after becoming accustod, he hardly thought anything of it.
But now....
Looking at the smile of the girl holding the man’s hand in the old photograph, such a blissful father-daughter duo, Yu Feng dared not look any longer.
The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Perhaps without his embodint, that NPC might have survived till the end, who knows.
And this was only the ones he rembered.
Many of the photos depicted images Yu Feng, grown numb to death, didn’t rember, but undeniably, they were all whom he had embodied.
Looking at family portrait after family portrait, Yu Feng rubbed his face:
"Hiss——"
"What is Zhao trying to do to us."
Not only could Yu Feng see the settlent screen in the live stream, but so could Blue Star’s followers in the room, swarming in the comnts.
[Zhao is ruthless, I don’t even dare to check my settlent results in the ga.]
[My goodness, 2472 deaths, how many lives did the strear ruin ~ !]
[Even excluding the 1983 tis on the Normandy Battlefield, that ans, from 1939 to 1945, a span of 6 years required 489 lives to finish ’World War II’....]
