Chapter 478: Chapter 475: The Army Arrives at the City Gates
"It’s about to begin!"
Great Xia Empire.
Even though it was far from the battlefield, Han Xu Yang still couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of nervousness.
You know, the expansion of the Polar Star Battlefield, if successful, would completely move the battlefield to the Outer Star Ring.
By then, the Great Xia Empire would only need to periodically send troops to the Polar Star Battlefield, which could also serve to train the Martial Artists.
But the Great Xia Empire would no longer be under the threat of war.
To know that the Three Great Empires each guarded their own piece of the cosmos above them...
It almost exhausted their efforts.
If the Great Xia Empire could break free from this shackle, by then its national power would greatly increase.
The chain effect it would trigger would be positive.
The chances of success were high.
After all, the Transformation Capsule was too magical, suddenly appearing and catching the enemy off guard, then pursuing them in victory... the possibility of success could exceed eighty percent.
On the battlefield, an eighty percent chance of victory was almost as good as a hundred percent.
But the crucial battlefield was not there.
The crux of all this lies in another place seemingly unrelated to the battlefield.
Qisha Military District.
"I hope Xu Lingjun can live up to the task!"
Han Xu Yang sighed quietly, holding in his hand the dossier from Xu Lingjun’s time at the Dragon Gate Examination.
The opening line in small characters.
"The act of war is a matter of great importance to the state, a place of life and death, a way of survival and extinction; it cannot be left unexamined."
Every word was precious.
"With such a statement, Xu Lingjun should not be the kind who seeks personal gains recklessly. Moreover, I’ve been supporting him with all my might, giving him whatever he wants. Although the Qisha Military District is young, under his control, it can be twisted into a mighty rope. I don’t ask for a major victory, just that he can keep the Chi Yu mysterious clan busy, and then he’ll be credited with the first merit in the Polar Star Battlefield!"
Han Xu Yang tapped his foot repeatedly, feeling strangely excited.
This was a crazy tactic.
If successful, the Great Xia Empire can look forward to eternal greatness, but if it fails...
Even without the intervention of the mysterious races of the heavens, the Great Xia Empire losing air supremacy in the Polar Star Battlefield might allow the Baoxue Empire and the Land of Light to swallow them whole directly.
The Three Great Empires appeared to coexist harmoniously, but in fact, competition was rampant behind the scenes.
And at this moment.
Outside the hall.
A fully armed warrior strode in, it was Close Guard Captain Fang Han, who exclaimed, "Your Majesty, the Qisha Military District has sent a battle report!"
"Battle report?!"
Han Xu Yang suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "By the calculation of time, the Qisha Military District should have just set out, how come there’s already a battle report returned, could it be that the Qisha Military District has suffered a big defeat and could not hold it?!"
He stepped forward quickly.
Snatched the battle report from Fang Han’s hand and opened it.
A line of small characters inscribed.
"Our army has won a great victory, has successfully breached the Chi Yu Base, the Chi Yu Planet is within reach, should we continue advancing?"
"What?"
Han Xu Yang blinked his eyes and then noticed that a photo was attached below the battle report.
Above was a red planet, indeed quite close.
But to capture such a photo...
Could it be that the Chi Yu mysterious clan base was really wiped out like that?
But I remember that the Qisha Military District had just set out, right?
Han Xu Yang stared at the photo in his hand, lost in a daze.
The battle report should be real... right?
But he remembered that his order was to have Xu Lingjun lead the army out of the Qisha Military District, first to harass the Chi Yu mysterious clan, thereby triggering a large-scale battle, rendering them unable to interfere with the battles against other mysterious races.
But now, they really might not be able to respond.
Because the frontier base was breached, apparently, that Xu Lingjun, if willing, could directly strike at the heartland of the Chi Yu mysterious clan.
He loudly declared, "Connect me to Commander Xu Lingjun!"
"Yes."
Fang Han immediately left.
A moment later, the imperial family’s dedicated communication had directly connected to the Qisha Military District’s base, then received the news that Commander Xu Lingjun was currently at the Chi Yu Base, which hadn’t yet established a signal station, so contact was temporarily unavailable.
However, Jun Qing who had been waiting there, stated that after several bloody and bitter battles, they finally succeeded in capturing the Chi Yu Base, and they have established a nuclear missile silo at the border, successfully fending off reinforcements from the Chi Yu mysterious clan, incidentally firing several nuclear missiles towards the Chi Yu Planet.
Although the distance is not short, and there are many meteor streams in between, it’s unlikely they will directly hit the Chi Yu mysterious clan.
But even if they hit the meteors, these radioactive meteors, the Chi Yu Planet definitely cannot completely withstand... just like humans once couldn’t withstand the fall of Void Gold from Xuyun Star, or rather couldn’t fully resist it.
Because even if a piece slips through, it could possibly bring about planetary catastrophe!
Han Xu Yang had already opened his mouth in astonishment, he naturally understood what Jun Qing meant.
That is to say, the weapons could already directly strike the Chi Yu Planet by now.
In other words, if they don’t want the Chi Yu mysterious clan to intervene, it’s all too simple, just fire a few nuclear missiles over, it would take them a tremendous effort just to clear the meteors, and as for a counterattack?
That’s impossible.
The Qisha Military District has now occupied a critical position near the Chi Yu mysterious clan, and they’ve started building fortifications.
Taking full advantage of favorable geography.
"In this great war, you have the foremost merit!"
Han Xu Yang joyfully slammed the table, laughing heartily, "This time you hold the foremost merit, I don’t care how you did it, but since you’ve achieved it... as for the casualties, I want to give those fallen warriors ten times the compensation, and their wives and sons will be taken care of by the state, their parents will be provided for by the state. They are heroes, I will not let the martyrs bleed and shed tears!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jun Qing said, "Currently, the casualties are tallied at 879 people, um... they will most likely be grateful for Your Majesty’s benevolence!"
"Eight... eight hundred... seventy-nine?"
Han Xu Yang paused there again.
For such a significant military achievement, Han Xu Yang guessed it must have been an incredibly fierce and grueling battle, and humanity must have made bloody sacrifices, even if the reply was that the Baoyan Army Legion was completely annihilated, he would not have doubted it.
Because the military exploits obtained were too remarkable.
Remarkable to the point of being unbelievable... now, it’s even more unbelievable.
He asked, "This... what more do you need?!"
"Nuclear missiles, a sufficient yield of nuclear missiles, although the commander has some, after defeating the enemy’s offensive, there are not many remaining!"
"Understood, full support!"
Han Xu Yang no longer wanted to know how Xu Lingjun won, the immense sense of happiness had already completely overwhelmed him.
Victory!
The Chi Yu mysterious clan can no longer interfere, the Polar Star Battlefield is sure to win... now that the Qisha Legion occupies favorable geography, as long as the weapons supply is in place, they can completely free up forces to support the additional Nine Major Military Regions!
This is the final safeguard.
After ending the communication.
Han Xu Yang collapsed on the throne, utterly overwhelmed by the immense sense of happiness.
Victory!
A real victory!
At this time.
Inside the Chi Yu Base.
The flames of war still raged...
Moments ago, hundreds of Chi Yu mysterious clan warships rushed in.
Then the nuclear missile silo fired a massive salvo of nuclear missiles, completely annihilating these warships.
Who could have imagined that the Qisha Military District had only just captured the base and had already set up such formidable defense works, with such powerful weapons as nuclear missiles!
Under a barrage of fire.
The surrounding asteroid field was also pulverized, with the wreckage of the warships and the asteroid fragments drifting towards the Chi Yu mysterious clan’s planet.
These wreckages should surely cause them a headache.
Xu Lingjun thought for a moment and spent a full 5000 Source Value to empower a nuclear missile silo.
At a time like this, seizing victory is most important... it’s not the time to be concerned about Source Value.
