You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 108
Chapter 108: Let Whoever Wants To Fight, Fight
Besides these things, what also bothered the President of the United States was the domestic extremist organization.
Old Ye, the extremist organization attempted to blow up the launch tower, and went to surrender to the Ghost Race.
But as president, he understood: regardless of whether it was Uncle Sam or other nations, from the moment the war began, there was no such thing as surrender. Either they die and become Ghost Race people, or the Ghost Race is annihilated and gets kicked off Earth.
However, the constant unrest domestically, coupled with the rampant Ghost Race internationally, left the President of the United States exhausted.
Even in the past few months, they lost many police officers and soldiers suppressing those extremist organizations.
You know, not every nation is as united as China. Not every nation’s Cultivation World will cooperate with the government to govern the country and stabilize the people.
……
In the West, with the arrival of the main force of the Chinese Army and Air Force, the war officially entered a fever pitch.
Although the squad leader of each squad would tell their soldiers to pay attention to their safety, that saving their lives was most important, that they were the pillars of the nation, and things like that, but on the battlefield, which soldier would care about these things?
War not only costs money, but also kills people!
They all knew that their fight was so that more people behind them would no longer have to fight. So they sacrificed their lives and dared to be the first. Even if some were experiencing real weapons warfare for the first time, they were trying their best to overcome their fear.
The battlefield was chaotic, but it was far from the point where human life was worthless.
J-10, J-20, and various other fighter jets also took to the sky, cooperating with ground-launched missiles, and vying for air supremacy with the Ghost Race Air Force.
Hot weapon wars are basically like this: once you have air supremacy, you’ve already won more than half the battle.
In this situation, the cultivators suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Although they had never fought a hot war, they still had some understanding of hot weapons combat, and naturally understood what the Chinese Air Force was doing now.
Each of them possessed long-range, large-area spells. As long as they were given enough time to cast them, they could seize air supremacy for the Air Force in minutes.
But the key is, they didn’t have time. Or rather, the opponent wouldn’t give them time.
Since the arrival of the opponent’s follow-up troops, the other side seemed to have identified them as elite troops. Thus, the Ghost Race didn’t even care much about the conspicuous mech troops, and used all kinds of guns and cannons to deal with the cultivators.
The cultivators all said that they had cultivated for a lifetime, but the biggest battle they had ever experienced was with ordinary people’s hot weapons.
Even many cultivators were seriously injured and fled back within the national border in a sorry state.
They might not be able to win, but escaping wasn’t a problem.
At the Western Theater Command headquarters, the Commander-in-Chief looked at the battle situation and anxiously asked, “How’s the search for the opponent’s command center going? ”
Seeing that the other side showed no sign of retreating, he, as the Commander-in-Chief, was also helpless.
Actually, he didn’t want to fight.
Because fighting not only costs money, but also kills people.
Who dies?
Needless to say.
Those were the soldiers of the Western Theater Command and even the whole of China! They were the pillars of their families, the people’s soldiers, and the hope of the nation. They couldn’t fall in the desolate Western borderlands because of those Ghost Race.
As the commander, what he had always done was not to watch them die, but to ensure the lives of the soldiers.
So the most direct way he could think of to make the other side retreat was to directly blow up their command center.
Even if they couldn’t blow up the overall command center, blowing up a theater command center would work too!
He didn’t believe that so many troops would travel so far to fight a war without a command center nearby.
“Report, Commander, the opponent’s command center is extremely well-hidden. We have only intercepted a segment of electromagnetic waves and are currently deciphering it! ”
A calm yet slightly urgent voice came from the other side of the radio: “Estimated time remaining: seven minutes! ”
“Hurry up! ”
The Commander-in-Chief furrowed his brows and then redeployed troops: “Dongfeng missiles are on standby. Once the target is located, launch immediately! If necessary, use advanced technology! ”
“Received! ”
As everyone knows, the Dongfeng-41 is a product of China from the late 20th century. And since China decided to unveil the Dongfeng-41 at the military parade, it means that the Dongfeng-51 has already been equipped with the army, the Dongfeng-61 is already on the production line, the Dongfeng-71 already has blueprints, and perhaps the Dongfeng-81 and Dongfeng-91 have already begun research and development.
And the advanced technology he referred to was the Dongfeng-51 equipped by the army.
On the main battlefield, the Chinese and Ghost Race armies were already fighting fiercely.
After all, the Ghost Race had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the terrain here. The Chinese army was utilizing the terrain, and for a time, they had a slight advantage.
“We can’t fight like this! ”
Xie Yingqing cut off a Ghost Race soldier’s right arm with one sword, frowned, and looked around. Seeing that her own cultivators and soldiers were constantly falling, she suddenly had an idea.
She immediately sent a voice transmission to several of the most powerful individuals in the cultivator army, asking each of them to find some people, and then told them her plan.
“Everyone, we only have eight hundred people, and they are in batches. We must select the elite among the elite! ”
Xie Yingqing said worriedly, “But we also need to ensure that nothing goes wrong here! ”
“Don’t worry, little girl Xie! ”
Old Ye smiled, “We know what we’re doing! ”
“Should I go? Eight hundred people going behind enemy lines is too dangerous! ”
Su Qin’an sent a voice transmission to Xie Yingqing: “I have various weapons; I’m better at self-preservation? ”
“Forget it, you can’t even beat me! ”
Xie Yingqing said with a cunning smile, “And haven’t you noticed that the Ghost Race are very accommodating to you? If you leave, they will notice something’s wrong! ”
“But…”
“Oh, what but! I have a subsystem; if it doesn’t work, I can just switch to some other weapons! ”
Xie Yingqing immediately interrupted him: “Alright, go! ”
After saying that, she winked at the strongman beside her.
Seeing this, the strongman immediately took a punch from a Ghost Race soldier, then fell into the void, shouting, “I can’t do it anymore, brothers! These Ghost Race are too strong! I’m not fighting anymore! Whoever wants to fight can go ahead! I’m retreating! ”
After saying that, regardless of the scornful or puzzled looks of others, he flew away on his own.
As soon as he finished speaking, many cultivators who had been summoned earlier rushed away with him.
“You traitor! ”
Xie Yingqing roared, “Come, follow me and bring him back! ”
Immediately, another group of people followed Xie Yingqing, densely chasing after the strongman and his group.
This sudden reversal left the uninformed cultivators and Chinese soldiers completely dumbfounded.
“Don’t panic everyone! It’s just a few cowards! Don’t be distracted! ”
Su Qin’an immediately shouted, “Engage the enemy first! ”
While saying this, he apologized in his heart to the fleeing cultivators.
I’m sorry, but there’s no other way to cover this up!
The Ghost Race on the opposite side obviously noticed the abnormality of the Chinese army, and more and more of them targeted Su Qin’an, causing the pressure around him to increase sharply.
“Your own troops are scared, I wonder how much longer you can last! ”
A Ghost Race genetically modified human sneered, “Prepare to die! ”
“Damn it, even if I’m the only one left, I can still take you all down! ”
Su Qin’an waved his hand, threw out a pile of grenades, and then swung the Falling Star Sword so tightly that sword light was everywhere, preventing the genetically modified humans from getting close to him.
“A death struggle! ”
The genetically modified human sneered, “Let’s see how much longer you can last! “
