But in just a short month, nothing could change. The arrival of a mercenary group brought a new hope to the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire. In the distant East, there was a mercenary army that specialized in warfare. The founder of this army was named Chen Fan, and Chen Fan commanded a super force that rivaled the entire Middle Eastern region. However, after several attempts to contact the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire, he found the fees to be too high and abandoned the idea, turning instead to the less expensive option of the Thirteenth District, established in the Red Sun Kingdom.
Contact with the Thirteenth District had been made three months prior. The Thirteenth District had repeatedly sent people to the Middle Eastern African Empire to provide tactical rescue missions. However, each time, they only managed to alleviate the situation for a while before Marshal Carter of the opposing Group Army launched another offensive.
The Thirteenth District sent people again.
This situation had persisted for about three months in the Middle Eastern African Empire.
Yesterday, the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire received intelligence from the Thirteenth District.
They would be dispatching a large number of troops this time to carry out a strategic rescue mission for the Middle Eastern African Empire.
Initially, after several conversations with the Thirteenth District, the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire had begun to distrust them.
However, this time, the Thirteenth District guaranteed that they would send the most powerful army to help the Middle Eastern African Empire overcome the crisis.
But this was also the last chance the Middle Eastern African Empire would give to the Thirteenth District, established in the Red Sun Kingdom.
If true relief was still not achieved, the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire might seek out that mysterious mercenary army in China.
Meanwhile, the aircraft from the Seventh District were gradually appearing in the skies over the Middle Eastern region.
The Middle Eastern refugees along the route, mistaking them for bombers, hurried to take cover.
As the military transport planes slowly flew over Marshal Carter's Group Army,
Marshal Carter's heart began to feel a trace of apprehension.
This was because Marshal Carter was unaware of who had been invited by the Middle Eastern African Empire to help this time.
As Chen Fan and his group's aircraft began their descent towards the military tarmac of the Middle Eastern African Empire,
Chen Fan directly called out from the cabin, "All members, pack your belongings and prepare to disembark. Remember to thoroughly check your firearms and ammunition."
As the members of the Seventh District began checking their firearms and ammunition,
Chen Fan watched the ground slowly approaching, his mood becoming more relaxed.
This was because he feared that if they remained airborne for too long, the Seventh District personnel on the plane might suffer from pre-combat phobia, leading to casualties, or at least, to fear.
After all members of the Seventh District had checked their firearms and ammunition, the plane slowly landed on the airport tarmac of the Middle Eastern African Empire.
As the cabin door opened slowly,
the members of the Seventh District finally breathed in the long-awaited fresh air,
inhaling it deeply.
The King of the Middle Eastern African Empire appeared directly at the opened cabin door.
Upon seeing not hundreds, but a much larger force, his face broke into a relieved smile.
After all, the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire had not expected such an excellent and elite force to be dispatched this time.
This was something the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire had never anticipated.
At this moment, as Chen Fan's orders were swiftly issued, the entire Seventh District force disembarked from the aircraft in an orderly fashion.
Although the Seventh District numbered only slightly over ten thousand men, they showed no fear even when facing the more than thirty thousand Middle Eastern African Empire combined militia gathered in the square.
Their presence exuded an even stronger and more imposing aura than the Middle Eastern African Empire's combined militia.
Perhaps this was the result of systematic training.
When the people of the Middle Eastern African Empire saw the mercenary forces of the Seventh District, they were instantly uplifted, believing their country was surely destined to win.
After all, they felt that with the aid of the Seventh District troops, their homeland, on which their survival depended, would be preserved.
This was the prevailing sentiment among the people of the Middle Eastern African Empire at that moment.
Just as everyone had disembarked, they heard the sound of artillery fire from Marshal Carter's forces seemingly directed at their location.
The heavy artillery barrage directly struck the defense line and city walls established by the Middle Eastern African Empire.
The deafening roar echoed through the air.
This was the demonstration of force by Carter's Group Army.
A display of power to the newcomers from the Seventh District, venting their dissatisfaction at occupying this city.
Chen Fan, who had just disembarked, felt as if he had landed in a novice village as a max-level player staging a surprise raid.
Despite the massive explosions, the Seventh District troops seemed completely unfazed.
Through various missions and trials in the past, the Seventh District had forged a cohesive unity and a strong combat readiness within the entire unit.
They were in no way affected by the sound of mere artillery fire.
The quality of this newly formed unit was thus showcased to the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire.
At this moment, the King of the Middle Eastern African Empire was overjoyed, for he possessed such a formidable force.
At the very least, their morale was not inferior to that of Marshal Carter's Group Army.
Meanwhile, the artillery fire continued to resound from the walls.
Due to the size of the military transport planes, Chen Fan's acting Seventh District did not receive any heavy weaponry from the Thirteenth District's reinforcements. The heavy weaponry from the Thirteenth District would arrive in three days.
Chen Fan's newly established Seventh District would have to hold out under Marshal Carter's heavy firepower for a full three days.
At this moment, Chen Fan's Seventh District was clearly unaware of this fact.
They believed that they would simply crush Marshal Carter's Group Army.
