In the national war, I fired the first shot.
Luo Yushang took out a passenger plane and said, "Let's go."
"The battle probably hasn't started yet. We can make it if we leave now."
Lin Yuan glanced at the plane suspended in the air,
shaking his head gently,
"We're not taking this."
Lin Yuan took out his phone and called Ayan,
"Come out, there's a battle that needs you."
"Oh, hohohoho!" Ayan's cheerful voice came from the other end of the line.
Not long after, a Red Dragon with a wingspan of over 60 meters appeared in Lin Yuan's line of sight.
"Are we finally going to fight side by side?!" Ayan shouted excitedly,
"I can't wait!"
"I feel the gears of destiny have begun to turn."
"Today marks the beginning of our legend."
Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead and sighed again,
Late-stage chuunibyo, incurable.
He probably needs a new brain.
Lin Yuan and Luo Yushang sat on Ayan's back, pointing in the direction of Dan Country,
"Let's go."
Ayan flapped its wings forcefully,
stirring up a gust of wind and soaring into the sky.
Along the way, Lin Yuan asked Luo Yushang,
"How did a national war suddenly break out?"
"It has something to do with you," Luo Yushang placed the sword at her waist across her lap.
"Something to do with me?" Lin Yuan was puzzled. "I haven't even left Tianfeng City, how could I cause a national war?"
Luo Yushang patiently explained,
"For this operation, the Dark Knight Guild not only dispatched four trump cards but also paid a hefty price to hire four top Professionals to intercept Su Bancheng and Li Weixian."
"They still failed, after all."
"Clown, Iceman, and Monster, three trump cards, died at Mu Tianxing's hands, and two of the four top Professionals who came to support them also died."
"The two who survived are both from Dan Country."
"Xia Country has always valued geniuses, especially strategic-level geniuses like you."
"This assassination was ostensibly aimed at Mu Tianxing, but it was actually for you."
At this point, a smile played on Luo Yushang's lips,
"It's a pity they still underestimated you."
"They thought sending the Crocodile Squad could kill you."
"Although the Crocodile Squad died by your hand, this matter is definitely not over."
"Commander Qin Liang personally ordered Li Yingchuan and Xia Ming to dispatch a hundred thousand Professionals to the national border."
"President Mu is the supreme commander of this battle."
"We must teach Dan Country an unforgettable lesson and let them know that Xia Country's geniuses are not to be trifled with."
At this point, Lin Yuan finally understood.
Xia Ming, the Governor and Commander of the Demon Suppression Army in the Southwest Province,
Mu Tianxing, President of the Peerless Guild, Luo Yushang, Vice President, and its members,
Plus an army composed of a hundred thousand Professionals,
Stationed at the national border, launching a national war,
All just to avenge Lin Yuan.
"Figured it out, have you?" Luo Yushang said with a smile. "How does it feel?"
"How should I put it?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment,
"If a lord treats me as a national hero, I shall repay him with the service of a national hero."
Qin Liang, huh? He truly has good judgment,
No wonder he could become the Marshal of the Demon Suppression Army and the supreme leader of Xia Country.
Lin Yuan patted Ayan,
"Ayan, go faster."
Although relying on the country felt great,
Lin Yuan preferred to take revenge with his own strength.
Ayan, a Level 53 Lord-level Giant Dragon,
To deal with these scattered forces of Dan Country,
It's enough... At this moment, at the border between Xia and Dan,
The Demon Suppression Army's hundred thousand strong force was menacing,
On Dan Country's side, twenty thousand Professionals from different factions had gathered,
Constructing various defensive fortifications,
Vainly attempting to rely on defensive advantages to resist Xia Country's attack.
In front of everyone,
Mu Tianxing's feet glowed as he stepped through the air, one step at a time,
Arriving at the center of the battlefield.
This entrance method was learned from Lin Yuan,
Indeed, everyone's gaze was drawn to Mu Tianxing,
Most of them wore astonished expressions.
Mu Tianxing was secretly pleased.
But on his face, he remained as cold as ice,
"Liang Jinfa, Wei Shoucheng, do you two really think you can stop me?"
Liang Jinfa is the President of the White Elephant Guild, one of Dan Country's five major guilds,
A Level 60 Shaman Priest,
He's 1.7 meters tall, with a chubby face and a perpetually friendly smile.
Wei Shoucheng is the President of the Eclipse Guild, one of Dan Country's five major guilds,
A Level 60 Dark Moon Mage,
Her name sounds masculine, but she is actually a woman in her fifties,
However, time seems to have left her beauty untouched,
Her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes filled with charm,
Many would believe her if she claimed to be an eighteen-year-old girl,
Both are prominent figures in Dan Country,
Normally, a word from them could shake Dan Country, even if it just dropped to the ground,
But in front of Mu Tianxing,
The two clearly lacked confidence,
Facing Mu Tianxing's interrogation,
Liang Jinfa nervously rubbed his hands and chuckled foolishly,
"President Mu, what brings you here?"
Wei Shoucheng, standing beside him, said in a coquettish voice,
"President Mu, who made you angry? Tell this humble one, and I will definitely not let them off."
"Heh heh." Mu Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back,
"You two, you know what you've done. There's no need to play dumb in front of me."
Mu Tianxing extended two fingers,
"I'll give you two choices."
"Either cede the northeastern region of one hundred thousand square kilometers."
"Or I lead my troops in."
"You have 30 seconds to consider."
Hearing Mu Tianxing's words,
Liang Jinfa and Wei Shoucheng's expressions turned grim,
Although Liang Jinfa and Wei Shoucheng are both Level 60,
The two of them together are absolutely no match for Mu Tianxing.
Even before his Third-Turn, Mu Tianxing was already hailed as the strongest Paladin among humans.
Internationally, there were very few Professionals who could stand on par with Mu Tianxing.
Now, Mu Tianxing was the first Professional to complete the Third-Turn mission,
His strength must be even greater than before.
Fighting was definitely not an option.
Unless Mu Tianxing foolishly charged in alone,
And twenty thousand Professionals focused their fire on him,
They could certainly kill him,
But was that possible?
Firstly, Mu Tianxing was not a fool.
Secondly, he was not alone.
The menacing hundred thousand Professionals on the border were not just for show.
One hundred thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers, a legitimate regular army,
Were not comparable to their hastily assembled ragtag forces.
These people might not even have a chance of winning relying on their fortifications and barriers,
Going out to fight in the open would be a guaranteed defeat.
Mu Tianxing's single sentence meant ceding one hundred thousand square kilometers of national territory,
That was one-sixth of Dan Country's total area.
Dan Country's land area was already small; if they lost another one hundred thousand square kilometers,
The domestic powers would inevitably undergo a major reshuffle,
It was very likely that the resources of the five major guilds would be squeezed.
Wei Shoucheng and Liang Jinfa put their heads together,
And came up with a good plan.
Pretend to fight a battle!
Hide the main forces of their guilds in the back,
Let the smaller factions in the northeastern region serve as cannon fodder,
Once these people were all dead,
Then concede defeat, cede land, and pay reparations.
This way, they could both appease Xia Country's anger,
And eliminate uncertain factors domestically,
Killing two birds with one stone.
The only cost was the lives of these local warlords,
A surefire profit.
