Chapter 593 - 5-7: Lightning Fury
The next day, Li Wenwu arrived, along with another military legend, Zhu Anyu, whose name was long renowned.
For a moment, the four legendary warriors of Great Xia Country gathered in one place.
Zhu Anyu was very short and very dark-skinned, standing at about one meter sixty tall, yet he looked stocky and fierce, with a pair of triangular eyes gleaming with a dangerous light, overwhelmingly intimidating to the point of being difficult to look at directly.
Until... he saw Chen Shouyi.
"President Chen, hello, hello, my name is Zhu Anyu, I’ve heard so much about you." Zhu Anyu said warmly, his face full of smiles.
On the way here with Li Wenwu, he’d already carefully inquired about Chen Shouyi’s situation.
The result left his mind completely muddled, making him question life itself.
What was reported in the People’s Daily was actually true!
It wasn’t just propaganda, nor was it a stroke of luck, and certainly not a severely injured True God.
It was merely a task investigating the Spatial Passage, and Chen Shouyi casually eliminated the big boss, the God of Blood.
During this, the God of Blood attempted to flee, but was directly chased into another world by President Chen, who beat him to death, leaving the corpse nothing but minced meat and shattered bones, and returned unscathed.
It wasn’t just brutal; it was... unbelievably savage.
Faced with such a brutal Godslayer, Zhu Anyu felt his heart trembling.
"General Zhu, you’re too kind, these are just empty fame," Chen Shouyi shook hands with him and humbly replied with a smile.
This is the sentence he has said the most these days.
Sigh, now trying to keep a low profile is becoming harder and harder.
"President Chen, don’t call me General Zhu, that would make me lose face, you can just call me Old... Old Zhu!" Zhu Anyu quickly said.
The few exchanged some pleasantries.
Li Wenwu inquired: "President Chen, I heard Director Ye is here too?"
"Yes, he’s been in seclusion. I only saw him once when I first arrived!" Chen Shouyi replied.
Probably stimulated by you, right?
The two had the same dark thought flash through their minds.
In the nearly ten years before President Chen, the biggest name had always been Ye Zong.
He was like a Great Mountain, oppressing the entire Martial Arts Realm of Great Xia Country, and though ordinary martial artists might not have heard of him, any Martial Artist knew this legendary figure,
Yet, in the past year, with President Chen’s sudden emergence.
Whether in fame or battle achievements, Ye Zong paled in comparison.
Not to mention the global impact!
Under such circumstances, how could anyone see you with composure?
"Are we going to war?" Chen Shouyi, oblivious to the thoughts in their hearts, asked aloud.
The gathering of the four legends was too obvious.
Li Wenwu nodded: "Probably within these days."
"Wasn’t it just to hold back the enemy army?" Chen Shouyi asked, puzzled.
"The situation has changed. It’s said the European Union couldn’t hold on!" Li Wenwu said gravely.
Once this war starts, it would completely decide the fate of Great Xia Country and even the fate of humanity.
Various intelligence indicates the God of Light is far stronger than the God of Blood, at least a deity with medium divine power, or possibly Powerful Divine Power!
Such a Barbarian God could wield terrifying supernatural power even on Earth.
...
That afternoon.
Chen Shouyi attended a meeting, and even Ye Zong came out of seclusion.
The meeting unified ideas, tightened discipline, and also... declared a state of war.
After the meeting ended.
Chen Shouyi originally wanted to chat with Ye Zong.
But he was enthusiastically surrounded by several high-ranking officials from various war zones and ended up exchanging a few pleasantries, only to find Ye Zong had already left.
...
At ten o’clock in the evening.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and it was pitch black.
Countless soldiers at the front line took advantage of the darkness to quickly retreat along the trenches.
"Squad leader, why are we retreating?" a young warrior asked in a low voice.
"You ask me, who the hell am I supposed to ask?" the leader said impatiently: "Above ordered the retreat, so we retreat, what’s with all the questions, just obey orders!"
"Does that mean there’s no war to fight?" the young warrior asked with hopeful eyes.
He didn’t want to be a soldier at all, if he had known earlier that failing the college entry exams would result in mandatory conscription, he would’ve studied hard to pass them.
"Wishful thinking, they just finished war mobilization two days ago, what do you think!" the leader said: "Moreover, even if we retreat, it won’t be done secretly in the middle of the night, the enemy is still there, I guess something big is about to happen."
Upon saying these words, his heart stirred.
He glanced at the sky, could it be?
"Everyone hurry up!" he urged.
...
At dawn the next day.
Aziz, huddled in the trenches, groggily rose and walked outside. With the recent calm, everyone had inevitably relaxed on both sides, the enemy and theirs.
Quite a few people vaguely felt the enemy, Great Xia Country, was merely stalling them, completely uninterested in war.
They were happy to oblige.
Aziz pulled down his zipper, ready to relieve himself.
Habitually, he looked towards the enemy’s position in Great Xia Country.
Suddenly, his expression was frozen.
Quiet.
Incredibly quiet.
Even the distant watchtower showed no sign of anyone.
The soldiers of Great Xia Country’s army seemed to have vanished overnight.
Aziz shivered, no longer concerned about urinating, he hurriedly zipped up and jumped into the trench.
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Stop making noise, let me sleep a bit longer."
"The army of Great Xia Country has retreated."
More and more people noticed the situation across the way.
Some cultists, clueless, began cheering, but more people felt a growing unease.
Great Xia Country completely abandoning their defenses and unilaterally retreating was obviously not a normal approach.
If something abnormal happens, there’s bound to be trouble.
"Look, what’s that!"
"Oh my god!"
"God of Light bless us!"
The entire battlefield suddenly became tumultuous, countless people started exclaiming.
As Aziz looked up, at just a glance, chills spread all over and icy fear rose from his heart, seizing his whole body.
Dozens of small black dots spewing fine flames, like arrows piercing the sky, quickly flew from the horizon towards this place.
These were missiles, rarely seen after the mutation, appearing on such a battlefield. What they carried certainly couldn’t be regular explosives, but... nuclear bombs.
"It can’t be, it can’t be!"
"How dare Great Xia Country?"
Aziz muttered, pale-faced:
"Aren’t they afraid of equivalent retaliation from the Land of Radiance?"
"Don’t they fear the Lord’s boundless wrath?"
Endless fear, like an icy claw, tightly gripped his heart, leaving him petrified.
The missiles flew closer, emitting a piercing whistle, soon flying over his head, continuing into the distance.
Five or six seconds later, a blinding light swallowed the sky and the earth.
Gigantic mushroom clouds rose one after another on the battlefield.
Due to the widespread dispersal of the Land of Radiance’s army, Great Xia Country used eighteen nuclear warheads with megaton payloads in this surprise attack.
The Land of Radiance’s army of over two million was completely annihilated.
This is nuclear warfare.
Once war is decided.
Violence strikes with thunderous force, eliminating all living forces, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.
In fact, this is just the beginning.
This attack isn’t over yet.
Not long after the glow of the nuclear bombs faded, a squadron composed of three strategic bombers and over a dozen escort fighters took off from a military airport in the depths of Great Xia Country. They would penetrate into Central Asia to execute the destruction mission.
...
ps: Earlier, this was unsatisfactory, so I deleted it and rewrote.
In a nuclear war between both sides, once a major fight is decided, it won’t stop until death, the war will only become simpler and more brutal.
