109: Mission accomplished (Part 3)

Soon, Kim Geun-seok’s army arrived at the border area of Korea.

Contrary to Kim Geun-seok’s previous assumption, the relationship between Korea and North Korea did not seem very harmonious.

Tall iron fences stood along the border between the two countries, stretching for thousands of miles.

Some sections even had high walls like trenches.

“What is this? Go down and check it out,” Kim Geun-seok immediately issued an order to the Challenger at the very front.

Soon, a response came through the radio.

“Reporting, Jin Shao Ye, there’s a sign on the iron fence, and it says ‘38th Parallel’!”

“There are also warning signs on it, but it doesn’t explicitly state what they are for.”

Kim Geun-seok frowned, becoming cautious once again.

Such aWarning Line (warning line) obviously meant that one could not enter casually; directly breaking in would be considered an invasion.

He then arranged, “Observe with binoculars, see if there are any defensive facilities on the other side of this iron fence?”

After another busy period, the people in the front gave a new response.

“Report! Reporting, Jin Shao Ye, we did not observe any defensive facilities.”

“Moreover… the opposite side looks very poor, all patches of barren land.”

“Though it’s just a line apart, it feels like the North and South are two different worlds.”

Kim Geun-seok stroked his chin, and finally made up his mind.

“All forces, listen to my command, directly smash through the iron fence and cross this 38th Parallel!”

Kim Geun-seok didn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary.

But now, to get to Mao Xiong Country, he must first pass through North Korea; this path must be taken, whether he wants to or not.

It’s impossible for such a small place, even smaller than Korea, to also possess top-tier combat power.

If that were the case, the design of this dungeon would be too unreasonable.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One Kim 7V Tank after another directly smashed through the iron fence on the 38th Parallel, then forcefully rolled over it.

Soon, the entire army had all entered the territory of North Korea.

Kim Geun-seok opened the hatch on the roof of the command vehicle, poked his head out, and looked around.

He found that North Korea was indeed a desolate place; let alone defensive facilities, not even a single living person was seen.

And it seemed nothing had happened, everything was fine.

Kim Geun-seok returned to the command vehicle, then let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems he had gambled correctly again!

“All forces, listen to my command!”

“Head full speed towards the east coast of North Korea, then proceed directly to Vladivostok in Mao Xiong Country!”

But just as he had issued the command to his army, a piercing alarm suddenly blared in his ears.

The world before his eyes was suddenly dyed a vivid red!

[Sky Curtain Hint: It has been detected that the Challenger has crossed the 38th Parallel demarcation line between North Korea and Korea, violating the non-aggression agreement between North Korea and Korea! This is considered an act of aggression against North Korea!]

[Next, the Dragon Country will launch a Dongfeng Missile bombardment against the Challenger team! Challengers, please prepare for defense!]

[Countdown 03:60]

[03:59]

[03:58]

“What?!”

Kim Geun-seok was completely dumbfounded, his mouth wide open.

He had tried his best to avoid any involvement with the Dragon Country, but in the end, he still provoked the Dragon Country.

The strangest thing was, even if he was invading, he was invading North Korea!

What did that have to do with the Dragon Country?

It was completely unreasonable! Pure nonsense!

“Sky Curtain! This is unreasonable! Lin Ye’s dungeon has a logical flaw!”

“My army only crossed into North Korean territory, and had no intention of aggression whatsoever. Furthermore, what does this have to do with the Dragon Country?”

“I protest!”

[Sky Curtain Hint: Protest invalid… In the setting of Earth Online, North Korea is a vassal state of the Dragon Country. If North Korea is invaded, the Dragon Country will automatically launch a counterattack!]

[Countdown: 02:59]

[02:58]

“This is absolutely hellish!” Kim Geun-seok cursed, punching the outer wall of the command vehicle.

He was trying his best to control his emotions, but this situation was truly infuriating.

The Dragon Country was going to use missiles to deal with his army.

How was he supposed to defend against missiles?

Because he had considered that there would be no aerial units in the dungeon, Kim Geun-seok had not brought any anti-aircraft weapons into the dungeon at all.

Was he supposed to rely on tanks and giant cannons to intercept missiles? That sounded utterly stupid.

But since things had come to this, there was no other choice but to try his best.

“Everyone listen up, set up all the Goryeo Giant Cannons for me, and point all Kim 7V Tank barrels towards the northern sky!”

“You must shoot down the Dragon Country missiles for me!”

The Challenger began to act in a panic.

No one expected the battle to come so quickly, so everyone was in a frantic rush.

[00:03]

[00:02]

[00:01]

[Sky Curtain Hint: The Dragon Country Dongfeng Missile saturation strike has arrived!]

Kim Geun-seok’s forehead was sweating, and he once again climbed out of the command vehicle, looking towards the distant horizon.

He saw the outlines of red missiles already appearing.

These missiles had very vivid paintwork, with fire-red coatings adorned with golden five-pointed stars.

“This…”

Kim Geun-seok couldn’t help but shiver, because he saw not just one missile!

But a continuous string of missiles, like a volley, looking like dozens, even hundreds of them!

They had completely identical trajectories, and the distance between every two missiles was also exactly the same!

“What the hell is this?!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

Boom!

With a deafening roar.

The first Dongfeng Missile had already landed! It hit the exact center of the Challenger army, without deviation.

Indicating that everything was well-calculated.

This red missile accurately struck the top armor of a tank!

The warhead of the missile triggered a violent explosion upon contact. A huge fireball rapidly expanded from the point of explosion, engulfing the surrounding air, forming an ever-expanding fiery red hemisphere.

The intense light generated by the explosion instantly illuminated the entire sky, as if a small sun had suddenly appeared on the horizon!

The strong vibration directly tore apart the tank in the central position, its metal shell melted by the high temperature! Instantly, a fireball accompanied by thick smoke and debris erupted from inside the tank, and metal fragments flew everywhere.

The shockwave from the explosion even ripped apart the tank's tracks and some of its armor, with burning debris and destroyed equipment scattered on the surrounding ground!

Strong wind pressure and airflow also spread outwards simultaneously, overturning all the outer tanks and armored vehicles!

Deep craters were left on the ground, and surrounding objects were scorched and twisted!

Immediately after, the second missile descended, still with the same destructive power.

Then the third…

The fourth…
