180: Expedition to Japan! [Fourth update, please vote]

Hanxia Country, Modu Base City.

After half a day of assembly and preparation, Chen Fan and his team were fully ready.

Behind Chen Fan were Xue Zhan and five other veteran Planetary-level martial artists, all wearing second-tier Origin Power battle suits.

After them were Lin Xinghe, Jia Yi, Ye Qiu, Dong Nanbiao, and thirteen other Planetary Level martial artists.

"Do you all have confidence in this expedition to the Eastern Island Continent?" Chen Fan asked.

"We've been ready for a long time, and now we're full of confidence!" The Modu Base City's top combatant said with full confidence.

"With all of Hanxia Country's combat power, let alone a small Eastern Island Nation, we could easily take down even the continents of Africa and Australia."

"Nineteen top Planetary Level martial artists and thirty-seven God of War martial artists, if those King-level Monsters dare to come, we'll kill as many as come!"

Ma Liang was very confident, even raising his hand to make a slashing motion.

During the first Modu Base City battle, Modu Base City's side had no truly top-tier martial artists; they relied entirely on sacrificing lives, suffering extremely heavy casualties.

This time, with nineteen Planetary Level martial artists deployed, Ma Liang felt a sense of immense wealth and solid backing.

At this moment, Ma Liang looked deeply at Chen Fan.

All of this came from the Fourth Chairman Chen Fan, standing before him!

And what excited Ma Liang the most were the nearly a thousand mu ya crystals that Chen Fan had produced during the Jingji Garrison Headquarters meeting this morning.

These mu ya crystals were the future Planetary Level legions of Hanxia Country!

"Very good!"

Chen Fan smiled: "This is the first time humanity is counterattacking the monsters, so we must start strong!"

"This war is destined to be prolonged. While ensuring your own safety, kill as many enemies as possible. If one-on-one isn't enough, then go for multiple-on-one!"

"There's no need to talk about martial ethics when fighting monsters!"

"After all, the many Planetary Level martial artists of Great Xia in the future will need you to guide them, so please cherish your lives."

"Yes." Xue Zhan nodded.

"No problem!" Ma Liang and all the remaining martial artists nodded slightly.

"Hong, Thunder God, and all of you who have come from afar, if you wish to participate in this war, please feel free, but be sure to pay attention to safety; monsters are cunning!"

Chen Fan looked at the crowd not far away and reminded them with a smile.

"It would be a pity to miss such a major battle."

The bald Thunder God and the black-clad Hong exchanged glances, both nodding slightly.

"My long spear is still thirsty!"

They had come from all over the world, if for no other reason than to foster good relations with Chen Fan.

And the most important way to build good relations was to fight side-by-side!

"Good!"

Chen Fan withdrew his gaze from them, looking out at the vast, boundless sea, his eyes sparkling.

Even before the battle began, he and Xue Zhan, along with the other four, had already formulated a plan.

The nineteen Planetary Level martial artists would first conduct a full-coverage search of the entire Eastern Island Nation.

The goal was to find the lurking King-level Monsters and encircle and annihilate them.

Below the King-level, these Planetary Level martial artists would also try to kill as many Lord-Level Monsters as possible.

As for the thirty-nine God of War martial artists, they would form teams of three to encircle and kill any Lord-level Monsters that tried to escape.

Three against one, with each God of War team leader being an Advanced God of War, just in case!

As for the leaders from various major forces, it would be even better if they could add to the strength.

If they couldn't add to the strength, then at least not causing trouble would still be acceptable.

"Depart!"

Chen Fan waved his hand, and all nineteen Planetary Level martial artists entered his silver-white intelligent fighter jet.

The more than thirty God of War martial artists formed groups of three, each entering their pre-prepared fighter jets.

"Depart!"

"Depart!"

As commands were issued through the communication channels, nearly a thousand fighter jets, bombers, and interceptors, fully loaded with ammunition, were ready at Modu Base City's two combat airports.

The roar of the engines grew increasingly intense.

The eyes of all the pilots gradually became eager.

Today, they were going to bomb the island nation, clearing out all the monsters.

Similarly, in addition to these attack aircraft loaded with ammunition, large transport planes carrying numerous soldiers and Warrior Generals were also ready for departure.

They were uniformly dressed in Hanxia Country's green combat uniforms and standard Battle Blades.

Inside the cabins, there were even quite a few free martial artists mixed in.

As soon as they heard that Hanxia Country's top combat forces were about to attack the Eastern Island Continent, these lively free martial artists flocked to join.

For Chen Fan, the more of them who joined, the better.

No other reason: there were many low-level monsters on the Eastern Island Continent.

Relying solely on their top combat forces, the killing speed was still too slow!

As the silver-white fighter jet took the lead, thirteen other fighter jets carrying God of War martial artists followed suit.

A dense formation of aircraft flew majestically towards the north of Hanxia Country.

That was precisely where the Eastern Island Continent was located.

It wasn't until Hanxia Country's last transport plane took off that Thunder God and Hong exchanged glances and said calmly.

"Let's go, we'll also participate in this battle. After all, it's our first battle in the counterattack against the monsters!"

"I don't know why, but after seeing the confident Chen Fan, that sense of threat from the monsters largely disappeared. Even though his combat power is so terrifying, I feel very reassured by him."

Hong truthfully expressed his feelings about Chen Fan.

"I thought I was the only one who felt this way."

Thunder God said with a look of relief.

"Let's go and see how our top combatant takes down the Eastern Island Continent and launches the first step of the counterattack!"

"Mhm!"

Then, Hong and Thunder God piloted their respective intelligent fighter jets, following closely behind.

After Thunder God and Hong took off, the powerhouses from the HR Alliance, Mercenary Alliance, and the four major powers successively entered their fighter jets to observe the battle over the Eastern Island Continent.

Kyoto Base City, on an open-air terrace of a luxurious hotel.

A group of martial artists, originally from the Eastern Island Continent, were drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

Without exception, regardless of gender, each held a bottle of Erguotou, their faces flushed.

At this moment, two white hospital beds were conspicuously placed in a corner of the terrace.

The still-recovering Yamamoto Ichiki and Chiba Wutian each raised a bottle of AD Calcium Milk, clinking them gently.

Gulp, gulp!

The sweet and sour white liquid slowly went down their throats, turning into bitterness and sorrow.

At this moment, the two former darlings of the small island nation, having been dealt with by Chen Fan alone, had all their pride shattered.

Afterward, Chen Fan rose steadily—breaking through to God of War, battling King-level Monsters, advancing to Planetary Level, and becoming the Fourth Chairman.

Which of these events wasn't a major affair that shook a nation, or even the entire world?

Now, Chen Fan instantly killed a Royal-level Monster, shaking the world.

Their last shred of ambition and desire for revenge completely vanished; they only wanted to lie flat.

To seek revenge and wipe out their shame, there was no longer any opportunity!

Since being taught a lesson by Chen Fan last month, they had been lying here.

Even a minor injury takes a hundred days to heal.

But Chen Fan's blows were heavier each time, directly putting them out of commission for more than half a year.

So when they heard that Hanxia Country was organizing its high-end combat forces for an immediate expedition to their homeland,

Including the two God of War from the small island nation—Chiba and Yamamoto—they remained indifferent, completely resigned.

Deep down, they had fully accepted their status as stray dogs.

To still want to compare themselves to Chen Fan was utterly delusional!

It wasn't just the young martial artists Yamamoto Ichiki and Chiba Wutian.

Even between Chiba Hyobu and Yamamoto Iku, an Intermediate God of War, and Chen Fan, there existed countless chasms.

The speed of Hanxia Country's rise was so fast it drove them to despair.

Now they believed that any Planetary Level martial artist casually emerging from Hanxia Country would be enough to annihilate them.

But for them to live so freely within Hanxia Country now was merely a matter of grace.

Therefore, the two God of War, Chiba and Yamamoto, became increasingly low-key.

"To my Sakura Country and the Eastern Island Continent!"

Yamamoto Iku, seemingly a bit drunk, picked up a bottle of Erguotou and toasted his country from afar.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

..."These small islanders are just drinking; they're still quite well-behaved!"

Not far from this hotel.

In a small villa on the third floor, a Warrior General belonging to the Jingji Garrison intelligence department took a sip of coffee and looked at another screen.

"I really wish I could go to the small island nation's land with them to fight monsters. I grew up watching Ultraman Tiga."

"Oh, please, Yao Weiwu, a Warrior General like you isn't even enough to get stuck in the teeth of those Advanced Monsters. This major expedition to the Eastern Island Continent should naturally be left to our Chairman Chen Fan."

A teammate next to him directly retorted.

"Hmph, I'm going to become a Planetary Level powerhouse who can fly through the air! Even though I'm just a Warrior General now, don't underestimate me."

The young Yao Weiwu vigorously waved his fist in front of his teammate, the punch whistling with sharp qi.

At this moment, Yao Weiwu looked at the fighter jets, which had become black dots, and black flames seemed to subtly burn in his eyes.

"I will definitely become a Planetary Level martial artist and fight alongside you!"
