278: The army is approaching

“The army is at our borders.”

In the Qin Mansion, Qin Yang looked at the image in the kunlun mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, two carrier battle groups were approaching the nearshore of Kyushu.

They were the Robin, commanded by General Mike, and the Zorro, commanded by Admiral Walker.

A Five-Star General and a four-star general, leading a group of subordinates, advanced grandly from the east, north, and south, blockading Kyushu’s three most important coastlines.

Ostensibly, they aimed to force Kyushu to admit to “conducting unknown experiments” and to compensate the Islanders and Bang Country.

In reality, they had already prepared for a full-scale War.

Their operation code name was: War Tonight.

“The northern sea area is the combined fleet of the Islanders and the Bang Country, commanded by the world’s strongest Emperor, Yi Sun-sin, Rank 158.”

“The southern sea area is Harris’s fleet. On the surface, Admiral Walker is the captain, but in actuality, the sky carrier he commands is controlled by Mike Os.”

Beside Qin Yang, an Imperial Guards knelt on the ground, reporting detailed information.

“So, if Mike Os is killed, both of these sky carriers will sink?”

“Should we let the Witchcraft Poison Masters go in for the first wave of attack?”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

But he quickly dismissed this idea.

Mike Os fleet had not advanced since passing the Liuli Archipelago, clearly intending to stay in the rear.

At this time, with the sky carrier in defensive mode, the probability of a successful sneak attack was not high.

If the sneak attack failed, Mike Os would surely realize he had walked into a trap, and would be even less likely to move forward.

“Let’s stick to the original plan. Everyone, to your positions.”

Qin Yang took a deep breath and said to the Imperial Guards, “Tell Si Zhenfeng to pull back the front line. I want them to get a little closer.”

“Understood.” The Imperial Guards bowed slightly and retreated into the shadows.

With the Free Federation army at the borders, Kyushu had entered a countdown on the internet.

Bang Country A: “Champagne tonight! The world’s most powerful Emperor, Yi Sun-sin, has already sailed the Sejong the Great warship towards Kyushu!”

Bang Country B: “It’s time to let them feel Yi Sun-sin’s power up close. It’s a pity Lin Xuan isn’t here, so Lord Yi can’t personally slay this thief who plagiarized the Sword Immortal Profession.”

Maozi A: “You should be glad Lin Xuan isn’t here. He could flick a booger and kill Yi Sun-sin.”

Bang Country A: “Too bad Lin Xuan is gone, hahahahahahaha!”

Maozi B: “Since when did Yi Sun-sin become the strongest Emperor? Even if Lin Xuan and Zhang Lingxiao are gone, we still have our Lord Novsky, right?”

Maozi A: “No need to argue with them about this. If War breaks out, Bear Country will also participate. Whether Yi Sun-sin is the strongest Emperor, the battlefield will tell.”

Islanders: “If you want to disintegrate again, then interfere. See if Lord Mike doesn’t blow you up!”

...The internet was bustling, feeling like the S-Championships were about to begin.

But in Kyushu’s internet and radio, there wasn’t a single piece of news.

The official channel even, for the first time, played cartoons.

The so-called nationwide martial law only reduced commercial and entertainment activities that involved gatherings.

Other than that, people didn’t feel any difference from usual.

The prohibition on entering Secret Realm, instead, gave the Professionals a long vacation.

“Husband, why don’t you let Zhi Yi come with us to Lizhou?”

In the Qin Mansion, Chu Mengxuan changed into a casual outfit.

A pure white slim-fit T-shirt outlined her beautiful figure.

Her full bust was faintly visible under the soft fabric, and the hem of the T-shirt was casually tucked into a pair of light blue denim shorts, perfectly encasing her perky buttocks, showcasing her alluring body lines.

A pair of shiny black twin ponytails were tied high from under her sun hat, playfully bouncing with her movements.

Looking at her attire, one could tell she was going on a trip.

War between Kyushu and the Free Federation was imminent.

Although everything was under Qin Yang’s control.

But this was War after all, and many unexpected situations could arise.

Moreover, the opponent was not weak, so Qin Yang couldn’t leave any openings for himself.

Therefore, he decided to give Chu Mengxuan and Ye Qiuning a long vacation.

He sent them with Qin Feng to Lizhou for a vacation.

That place was densely forested and had a Gu Spirit guarding it, making it one of the safest places in Kyushu.

“He Zhiyi won’t be going. She and I have very important things to do. You two just have a good time.”

Qin Yang said.

“Very important things…”

Chu Mengxuan lowered her head and murmured.

Though she wasn’t very bright, being by Qin Yang’s side, she could somewhat sense things.

Two Sages had died, and her maternal grandfather, Lin Xuan, was critically ill.

These events, compared to Kyushu’s current calm, seemed eerie no matter how one looked at them.

Coupled with Qin Yang constantly running to Shangjing City, he had clearly inherited Lin Xuan’s mantle and was involved with the officials.

Now, he suddenly wanted her to travel to Lizhou.

Even if Chu Mengxuan was foolish, she could guess why.

War could break out at any moment.

Thinking of this, Chu Mengxuan hugged Qin Yang, rubbing against his embrace, and asked, “Will you go to the front lines?”

Qin Yang smiled inwardly.

To say the Empress was foolish, yet she possessed great Wisdom.

Qin Yang sent the two away, leaving He Zhiyi alone.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would surely think of other things.

But Chu Mengxuan could combine various pieces of information and guess the real situation.

No wonder Lin Xiao’er’s appraisal of this daughter-in-law was “just the right amount of foolishness.”

Meaning, foolish when she should be, and smart when she should be.

Qin Yang stroked Chu Mengxuan’s head: “Don’t worry, both He Zhiyi and I are low Rank, so we will naturally be stationed in the rear.”

He said this only to coax Chu Mengxuan.

This was a personal expedition by the Emperor; how could he not go to the front lines?

In fact, He Zhiyi would even have to use Gu to directly confront the sky carrier.

While it wouldn’t necessarily be a struggle for survival, it wouldn’t be entirely without danger either.

But for the sake of the “home front’s” peace of mind, a small lie was harmless.

“Then you two must be careful!”

Chu Mengxuan buried her head in Qin Yang’s arms, mumbling softly and sweetly.

Seeing the Empress’s sensible demeanor, Qin Yang felt a touch of tenderness.

At this moment, not doing something felt like a disservice to the atmosphere.

“Hey! Wait! Qiu Ning is still waiting outside…”

“What? Do you want her to come in too?”

“You scoundrel!”

Just as the temperature in the room was gradually rising.

A sound transmission talisman, accompanied by a shriek, flew in and hovered outside the window.

Qin Yang sighed and got up from the beauty.

Normally, with the bullet loaded, he wouldn’t care about other matters.

But now it was wartime, and he indirectly held the lives of tens of thousands of Professionals in his hands, so he couldn’t neglect his duty.

Qin Yang walked to the window and let the sound transmission talisman in.

Upon identifying its target, the sound transmission talisman immediately ignited, releasing its contained information.

“Young Master Qin, they’ve made their move! The combined fleet of the Islanders and the Bang Country has launched a sneak attack on Tingtao City!”

Sneak attack?

Qin Yang was slightly startled.

According to the Imperial Guards’ intelligence, they would declare War on Kyushu tonight.

Now, they had attacked early… This was most likely the Islanders or the Bang Country acting on their own initiative, after all, sneak attacks were their traditional craft.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Since you’re eager to reincarnate, I’ll have to cooperate with you.”

A flicker of anger crossed Qin Yang’s eyes as he summoned the xuanyuan sword.
