93: Chapter 93 Advancement to Fifth Rank, Counterattack Begins.

Three missiles carrying nuclear warheads had now arrived above the central region.

Moving at a sprint, just as they were less than a kilometer away, a pale blue beam of light shot straight into the clouds, freezing the three incoming nuclear missiles. They lost power and ultimately exploded in mid-air. The sound of the airburst rang out, spreading across the entire Far East Region. The shockwaves rippled outward, causing wild winds to whip up on the ground and dust to fly everywhere!

The sky was dyed a fiery red, as if a natural disaster had descended.

Suddenly, a massive figure shot straight into the clouds, accompanied by a terrifying suction force that swallowed all the damage caused by the nuclear missiles.

This figure was none other than Bai Xuan, who had successfully advanced. Bai Xuan had changed drastically; his entire body's feathers were now pure white, the ice crystal between his brows was pale blue, and his icy markings were the same. A layer of ice crystal scales covered him from his shoulders to his wing joints, layered one upon another. At the end of his tail was a pale blue ice crystal feather, distinct and layered, looking extremely beautiful.

The scales beneath the feathers on his chest had expanded in area by more than twenty times.

His body had become even more massive, with a body length of 45 meters and a wingspan of 120 meters, blocking out the sky and sun—truly terrifying.

Bursts of extreme cold air radiated from his body, causing the temperature in the area to plummet suddenly.

Bai Xuan hovered in the air, tilted his head back, and let out an eagle cry that rang through the clouds. It was incredibly intimidating, spreading across the entire Far East Region, the Siberia Region, and into neighboring countries.

This was a declaration that he had successfully advanced, and even more so, the horn of the counterattack.

Bai Xuan released his divine sense, covering the entire Far East Region. Sensing the situation on the western front, his eyes turned cold: "It is time to counterattack."

Having been bombarded with four nuclear missiles and hundreds of regular missiles, how could Bai Xuan not know who did it? Before this, his divine sense had already captured the missiles' Flight trajectories; they had flown over from the direction of the Bear Country.

Similarly, Bai Xuan also knew that the Dragon Country had assembled a large military force and could guess a few things. This matter was definitely related to the Dragon Country; since the two countries had reached a cooperation, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Bai Xuan flew toward the west at supersonic speed to first resolve the tense situation on the front line, then go and deal with the other regions. There were restless fierce beasts in the north and east, and the same was true in the south—so he would fight.

Having been bombarded by so many missiles and nuclear warheads, Bai Xuan had long been filled with rage and needed to vent it.

...

"Not good! That fierce beast has successfully advanced. Quickly retreat behind the city walls!"

The General of the Bear Country revealed disbelief in his eyes. All his plans had been ruined, and the honor of being written into history books had also been destroyed. But now was not the time to worry about that; they had to retreat behind the city walls as soon as possible.

"General, the top priority is to ensure your safety. Leave quickly."

The Bear Country Officer anxiously pulled the General, ran out of the military camp, arrived in front of a supersonic military aircraft, and sent the General into the plane.

The Bear Country Officer did not board the plane. The General shouted anxiously: "Get on quickly, what are you still waiting for!"

"No, I cannot leave. I must stay behind to block the fierce beast's advance. General, you must leave quickly. Goodbye."

The Bear Country Officer shook his head gently. After saying this, he gave a military salute to bid farewell to the General of the Bear Country.

Someone had to stay behind to cover the retreat and command the battle. Precisely because of this, someone had to remain, and the Bear Country Officer was one of them.

After sending the Bear Country Officer away, he returned to the command camp and ordered the Soldiers to fight hard to block the fierce beast's advance. Air support followed, conducting carpet bombing!

"You must block it!"

This time, they had really messed up. If they hadn't started the war, they would have had time to develop.

Now, let alone the future, they might not even be able to protect the present!

...

On the battlefield, the Soldiers did not yet know that Bai Xuan had successfully advanced. The offensive was even more intense, with all kinds of guns and artillery bombarding the fierce beasts. Various helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, bombers, and Soldiers wielding advanced spiritual weapons, long blades, and spears were locked in fierce combat with the beasts.

Lives were devastated, blood flowed like rivers, and the flames of war flew everywhere. Countless steel wrecks were scattered across the blood-soaked earth, littered with corpses.

"Why has it gotten cold?" A Soldier holding a spiritual ore steel blade extended his blood-covered palm, and snowflakes fell into it. This cold environment was nothing to warriors like them, but why was it even colder now? Was it his imagination?

Hot-blooded warriors were fighting with the fierce beasts. Their physiques were strong, and their self-healing abilities were powerful; even with severed limbs, as long as they were brought back intact for suturing and treatment, they could recover and return to normal in just a month or two.

They could even use artillery shells individually that they couldn't operate alone before, and it was even faster and more flexible than using mechanical drives.

"Look, what is that!" A Soldier pointed at the sky, his eyes full of terror, his legs trembling and weak, his speech stuttering.

The Soldiers located in the rear who were charging toward the fierce beasts all looked up and saw the terrifying scene before them: "Didn't it already die? Why would it appear here? And this size is just too massive!"

"What should we do now? Should we continue to charge forward?"

"We are absolutely no match for that fierce beast! Going up there is only... a dead end."

"This is a military order. Soldiers must unconditionally obey orders. Everyone, get up there and take over!"

An officer scolded the Soldiers who had stopped in their tracks.

He had received orders from his superiors to block the fierce beast's advance no matter what.

At first, he didn't understand why, because before this, they had a huge advantage and were about to crush this group of fierce beasts.

Saying "block" didn't seem to fit the current situation at all, right?

But now, he finally understood what his superiors meant. That fierce beast not only hadn't died, but had instead become even more formidable. Facing such a fierce beast, it was normal to feel timid inside.

But Soldiers must obey orders! They had to rush up, take over for the wounded, and send them to the rear military camp for treatment.

The previous eagle cry had been covered by the noisy sounds of the battlefield. Some hadn't heard it at all, and those who did only thought it was the call of some fierce beast and didn't pay any attention, never associating it with Bai Xuan.

After all, there were many eagle cries on the battlefield.

"But... sir..."

"There are no 'buts'. Hurry up and charge for me, or I will be the first to shoot you!"

The officer's tone was tough, and he fired several shots into the sky.

"We understand, sir." The Soldiers regained their confidence and once again rushed to the front line without hesitation, pushing forward. But what they didn't know was that their mission was not to advance, but to block the fierce beast's advance.

This time, it was truly a mission with nine deaths and one life.

"God bless, the Bear Country must survive this crisis." The officer looked at the battlefield engulfed in flames, closed his eyes, prayed for a moment, then strode forward, holding his long gun, and led the Soldiers to charge into the battlefield without hesitation, fighting with the fierce beasts.
