Chapter 126: Chapter 109 National War Dungeon [Battle of Moscow] Opens, Mo Xiaomo: Our God Returns! (3k)

"I think so too, because that’s what I thought at the time."

"Looking at the body of that Austria-Hungary boy, I felt very absurd. If their country also advocates glory, wealth, and status."

"Our country also advocates glory, wealth, and status."

"Then the question arises...."

"Where do these things come from?"

"I started to feel lost, but didn’t know what to do."

"Until that moment."

"Back then, because of regime change within the Tsarist Empire, we withdrew from World War I."

"Just like that, we withdrew."

"And then.... I realized I was deceived, the so-called glory, status, wealth, was just empty talk from the mouths of those politicians."

"They fooled millions into fighting and dying for them."

"I had no face to return to my hometown, afraid of how my constantly drunken father would ridicule me."

"Previously, I couldn’t understand why he acted that way."

"Later, I gradually understood, perhaps the battlefield had traumatized him."

"I started studying everywhere, soon met a mentor, joined the party, and became a practitioner of Bolshevikism."

"Shortly after, World War I ended."

"But by then it had nothing to do with me, I had acquired new knowledge, learned many things, and decided to contribute to liberating this old world."

"I just didn’t expect, after so many years, this world is still so terrible, and the situation this time is even more complicated, with casualties surpassing several times that of World War I."

"But this time.... I’m not fighting for so-called honor, status, or wealth."

"Instead, I am fighting for the motherland to not be invaded."

After finishing, Aleksey picked up the vodka that had been passed around and drank the last bit:

"The essence of war is nothing but politicians risking farmers’ sons for their own gains, so never expect war unless.... you are that politician."

"But are you?"

Aleksey’s words seemed to penetrate through the game and narrative, hitting Huang Hao and every Blue Star friend in the live stream, causing a deafening impact.

Huang Hao opened his mouth but eventually could only smile bitterly and say:

"Apparently not."

Aleksey shrugged:

"So, you’re here, I’m here, they’re all here...."

"Never trust those deceptive lies."

"If honor, interests, and status are so easily obtained, why don’t they obtain it themselves, instead of generously rewarding ’us’?"

The room was silent.

Only the crackling of fire burning wood was heard.

...

...

Outside.

Federation Headline.

The dialogue between Aleksey and Huang Hao in the narrative soon topped the trending search, particularly Aleksey’s final rhetorical question.

It directly stripped away the facade from those war zealots.

Some netizens began gathering spontaneously, flocking to the accounts of those who often preached war.

[Buddy, when will you become the Federation President?]

[Indeed, become President soon, then reward ’us’ with glory, wealth, and status—]

[If you don’t sacrifice, how can others become President.]

[What? You want me to sacrifice? That’s not how it was promoted. Isn’t fighting back supposed to earn status? Why do I have to die now?]

[So, we are meant to sacrifice, but why doesn’t he sacrifice? Afraid of death?]

[Tsk tsk....]

At once.

Many accounts of those who were active in promoting war were overwhelmed, mostly by curious netizens, and even their staunch supporters couldn’t resist the increasing number of commenters.

Even the official Anti-War Competition was stunned, having never imagined that a fragment of game dialogue would have such an effect.

After all, it’s not the first time public opinion was directed, but the more it was guided, the more it fueled the public’s rebellious psychology.

And now within the game.

The story of a virtual NPC on ’Earth’ in the game dissecting the notion of war through storytelling had an even better effect.

Being drawn in, Aleksey was just an ordinary person recounting his past, rather than an official Federation entity.

Which resonated more with the players.

With the Morning Star Day approaching closer, the Anti-War Competition officially took advantage of the holiday to promote the game narrative of World War II: Empire’s Rise.

Including the segment with Huang Hao and Aleksey.

This further brought a wave of attention to Polestar Company and the game.

A few days later.

On "Morning Star Day."

As a day to commemorate the first appearance of stars after the meteor shower, each of the Six Major Federations would have a seven-day holiday for commemoration.

At this moment.

Great Xia Federation, Celestial Shark Live.

Within the game area.

Many livestream hosts had returned to the game’s main interface.

Waiting for the National War Dungeon [Battle of Moscow] update within the game.

Currently in World War II: Empire’s Rise, just in the Imperial and Soviet Union factions, there are three types of hosts.

Some choose the single-player [Immersive Story] mode, similar to Duan Yu’s Leningrad Survival Challenge.

Others opt for the [Multiplayer Cooperative Story] mode, akin to Huang Hao’s, fighting at the forefront.

Currently waiting in the main interface, preparing to join the National War Dungeon [Battle of Moscow] and lead large-scale operations as commanding generals, such as... Mo Xiaomo.

At this moment.

Inside Mo Xiaomo’s live streaming room.

She has been waiting early in the main interface of the game, and during this time, Mo Xiaomo has spent quite a bit of time hiding in the hidden storyline, learning tactics from Guderian.

But from the moment she started streaming today, Mo Xiaomo couldn’t hold back her grin, leaving her viewers quite speechless.

[What kind of mischief has Little Mo been up to, she can’t hide her smile?]

[Who knows, doesn’t this guy realize she isn’t fooling anyone?]

[Seriously, it really matches her character.]

[I bet she’s up to something again, let’s wait for the game update to start and see what she’s doing.]

As the game pops up.

Update [Battle of Moscow].

Mo Xiaomo swiftly clicks to update, and with Blue Star’s internet speed, the resource pack is updated within seconds.

Mo Xiaomo’s smile becomes uncontrollable as she sees [Battle of Moscow] appearing on the main interface, she clicks in directly:

"Brothers! Today!"

"I, Mo Xiaomo, am making a triumphant return!!!"

"Start sending gifts!!!"

The streaming room is filled with question marks, seasoned viewers shout that she’s acting crazy again.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaomo snorts:

"Wait a moment, prepare for your eyes to be dazzled!"

As the game screen brightens up, Mo Xiaomo appears in a command center, but this command center... doesn’t have the Imperial Camp style.

Some viewers in the streaming room have already realized.

Mo Xiaomo doesn’t hide it, grinning:

"See that! Federation!!!"

"I told you all before, I went to the Imperial Camp to be an undercover agent, now do you believe me?!"

"This streamer has secretly replayed the [Battle of France] more than ten times after going offline, nearly mastering Guderian’s Blitzkrieg tactics!"

"This time, I am the goddess of war, facing the edge of the Imperial forces!"

"Heh heh heh~ don’t blame me for being a rebellious pupil."

"As the ’Disciple (Self-Proclaimed) of the Father of Blitzkrieg,’ I must prove my prowess."

Mo Xiaomo’s bold operation triggered a shower of 666s on the screen, with gift effects flying all over.

Mo Xiaomo smiled even more, while thanking the viewers for their gifts, she glanced at her role, and her eyes suddenly widened:

"!!!"

"It truly varies with rank, I was only a Captain (Company Commander) in immersive storyline mode, now I’m a Battalion Commander!"

"Doesn’t that mean I command a battalion?"

"Nice, nice, this is perfect for my command, not too much nor too little."

As she was saying this, a sudden sound in the command room made Mo Xiaomo’s face freeze.

"Oh shit? I’m a Company Commander?!"

"Hmm? There are others, haha, I’m a Regiment Commander!"

"Wow, why are there so many people?"

"Mo Xiaomo???"

Players appeared one after another in the command room, and Mo Xiaomo was bewildered, as were the viewers, and the Blue Star players appearing in the command room.

"What’s going on?!"

Moments later.

Mo Xiaomo was overcome with hopelessness; she held the highest rank in the room, meaning these Blue Star players were her subordinates...

A Regiment Commander next to her, who was also Mo Xiaomo’s fan, lightly coughed:

"Mo Sis, I have good news and bad news."

"Which would you like to hear first?"

Mo Xiaomo was dejected:

"Bad news."

The fan with the rank of Regiment Commander smiled:

"The bad news is, not only are we players, but our troops are also players."

Mo Xiaomo couldn’t help but facepalm, her tone collapsing:

"This is bad indeed."

She could already foresee what her Blitzkrieg would be like, how could she possibly challenge Guderian with this?

Her plan to endure torment and be a rebellious pupil was foiled before it even started.

She wanted to make a big move, but now... haha... haha...

Old Thief Zhao, I....!!!!

Following this, Mo Xiaomo weakly asked:

"What’s the good news then?"

The fan with the rank of Regiment Commander chuckled:

"The Imperial Camp is also in the same situation."

"From top to bottom, they’re also our Blue Star players."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomo instantly perked up:

"What?"

"Are you sure?!"

’Perverted’ smiles gradually appeared on Mo Xiaomo’s face, and seeing this, the fan with the rank of Regiment Commander also had a ’perverted’ smile, assuring:

"That’s right, and I took a look at the other streaming rooms."

"It seems they’ve arranged us in several areas of the battlefield, so it’s entirely our two camps dueling."

"Who could match Mo Sis, the ’Disciple of the Father of Blitzkrieg’?"

(The storyline can’t be finished, can’t be finished, post these first, will add the missing parts tomorrow, also thanks to the alliance leader Kua Qing Shi Yu, I will try to make up for the owed updates before the 15th.)
