207: Chapter 207 Building a Nation on a Military Base!

Rumbles—

As soon as Saku Kenichi finished speaking.

Two USA Towers rose from the ground, crossed the boundary, and took root directly within Sakura Country's defensive perimeter!

Who said that in the Game of National Destiny, only Chen Aoyun could pull off fancy tricks?

Didn't Saku Kenichi just pull off a fancy trick himself!

"Joint Defense Treaty!" Saku Kenichi said with a smug look, "My Sakura Country and the USA have each written the 'Joint Defense Treaty' into our Towers. Our resources can be shared, and if necessary, one side can even borrow Towers from the other for defense!"

Chen Aoyun looked at the Towers Saku Kenichi had borrowed from the USA, his expression indescribably strange.

Saku Kenichi misinterpreted this,

"What? Do you think there's a logical problem?

If there is, you can try initiating a Judgment.

See if this ability I designed for the Towers complies with the rules of the Game of National Destiny!"

Chen Aoyun laughed, laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face.

While laughing, Chen Aoyun didn't forget to give Saku Kenichi a big thumbs-up,

"Awesome!

Your Sakura Country is truly awesome for wanting to win this scene!

First, you used the 'Nanyang Sister' Overseas Brothel and the RAA Special Facility as prototypes to write entries, getting extra resources from the Wave Demons.

Now, you've come up with a 'Garrison Treaty' entry?

I'm truly impressed!

There are some things that haven't appeared in the Game of National Destiny, so I can't mention them proactively, or else I'll be automatically silenced.

You, on the other hand, are offering me material on a silver platter, letting me expose the dirty secrets of your Sakura Country!"

Chen Aoyun finally held back his laughter.

Judgment?

Saku Kenichi's 'borrowing Towers' maneuver fit the underlying rules of the Game of National Destiny perfectly, and it also complied with all the rules of this scene.

Judgment was impossible.

Initiating Judgment consumed national destiny regardless of victory or defeat, and Chen Aoyun wanted to save the Dragon Country's national destiny for the upcoming National War.

But since Saku Kenichi had voluntarily offered him 'material'.

Chen Aoyun, with his sharp tongue, naturally wouldn't miss the chance to say what needed to be said and mock Sakura Country!

With arms crossed, Chen Aoyun faced the two USA Towers that Saku Kenichi had borrowed. Leaning back slightly with an expression of extreme disgust, he spoke to Saku Kenichi,

"Tower reinforcement.

Especially the reinforcement of special entries.

The special entries written into the Towers must be based on wonders as prototypes.

The written entries cannot be of a defensive nature because in this Tower Defense Game, the Towers are stipulated to be 'attack only, no defense'.

The written wonder entries also cannot exceed the upper limit of the Towers' own capabilities; after all, it's not a real wonder descending, just an entry."

Saku Kenichi narrowed his eyes, not knowing what Chen Aoyun wanted to express by spouting off here, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

Chen Aoyun continued with his arms crossed,

"Admittedly, your 'Joint Defense Treaty' entry has no flaws.

If I were to initiate a Judgment, I would definitely fail.

However, I am truly impressed.

You even dare to use this wonder as a prototype for the entry, especially in front of me.

Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

What did he mean?

The 'Joint Defense Treaty' entry written with the wonder's ability perfectly solved the current problem of Sakura Country's insufficient Tower combat power, so why would it be shameful?

Toslev tilted his head to look at Chen Aoyun, his face full of confusion.

The Strategists from other countries also looked at Chen Aoyun, not understanding.

Everyone felt that Chen Aoyun's words were very strange, but they were also waiting for what he had to say next.

Because one could always hear 'radical opinions' from Chen Aoyun's mouth.

This had been the case with the 'Nanyang Sister' Overseas Brothel and the RAA Special Facility earlier.

Could it be that the prototype wonder for the 'Joint Defense Treaty' entry was, like those two wonders, something similar to a brothel, or an ability extracted from a wonder that didn't treat its own citizens as human beings?

Without making everyone wait too long, Chen Aoyun didn't play coy and directly pointed it out,

"The prototype wonder for this entry of yours, could it be the 'US Military Base in Japan'!

That's impressive!

So the 'US Military Base in Japan' can also be regarded as a wonder; I have gained another layer of understanding of what a wonder is.

It's just that, what did this wonder symbolize in the Old Era? What did it mean?

Do I need to educate the whole world about it?"

Panic set in. Saku Kenichi didn't know much about the 'US Military Base in Japan' wonder, but seeing Chen Aoyun's disdainful expression, he knew that if this wonder were explained by Chen Aoyun, it would certainly endanger the image of Sakura civilization, just like last time,

"Shut up!

Chen Aoyun, shut up!

Don't spout nonsense here!

Don't smear the lofty image of my Sakura civilization!"

Chen Aoyun wouldn't pay any attention to Saku Kenichi and continued on his own,

"The existence of this wonder has multiple meanings, too many to finish in the limited time, so I'll pick two representative meanings to talk about with the whole world.

First, it's punishment!

Evil countries, after being defeated, must stand at attention and be disciplined, taking their beating and punishment properly.

And it's not that it's over after one beating; you have to be ready to take a beating anytime, anywhere.

This 'base' is the wonder that ensures your Sakura Country stands at attention when necessary!

Why there are only US bases, involving many geopolitical patterns of the Old Era, I won't go into detail.

Let's talk about the second point.

This wonder's second symbol in the Old Era...

It's like a leash for a dog!

Do you understand the creature called a dog?

It's not about who feeds it, who is its master; rather, it's about who beats it, who holds its leash, that is its master.

This wonder is a dog leash; one end is the master holding the leash, the USA.

The other end is the dog being led, your Sakura Country!"

Chen Aoyun dropped his arms and pointed at the USA Towers that had landed within Sakura Country's defensive perimeter, continuing in a tone of great admiration,

"Why else would I say I admire you.

A leash for a dog, and you are the dog being leashed.

If a normal country had such a wonder, they would definitely hide it, fearing it would be discovered, fearing that the fact they 'built a nation on a US base' in the Old Era would be discovered and become a laughingstock.

You, on the other hand, your Sakura Country is something else.

You're afraid that others won't know you have such a bizarre wonder, and you're rushing to show it off.

Awesome, you Sakura Country people are truly awesome!"

The words shocked everyone.

Just a wonder, and there was such a deep story behind it?

All the Strategists on the scene had expressions of wanting to watch the chaos unfold.

Sakura Country's 'persona' in the New Era had always been humble, compliant, and even carried a bit of that 'saintly' quality that Westerners loved.

Now it was good.

First there was the 'Nanyang Sister' Overseas Brothel and the RAA Special Facility, and now this 'base' wonder.

Sakura Country's persona in the New Era had completely collapsed!

The live broadcast room was even livelier.

"So, the prototype wonder for the 'borrowing Tower entry' is the 'US Military Base in Japan'!"

"The USA had many bases in the Old Era, and there are many records in the historical materials left behind, so it's not surprising."

"But a base being considered a wonder is probably unique to Sakura Country!"

"To be recognized as a wonder, this 'base' of Sakura Country must be different from ordinary US military bases of the Old Era!

Could it really be as Chen Aoyun said, that this 'base' of Sakura Country has those deep meanings he spoke of?"

Toslev even used an exaggerated expression of sudden realization to go along with Chen Aoyun's description, and said,

"No wonder!

I was thinking!

No wonder Sakura Country walks so close to the USA in the New Era, and even circles around the USA like a licking dog.

Previously, I thought that Sakura Country was the only Eastern country among the strong nations of the Game of National Destiny, and wanted to acknowledge a big brother and have something to rely on.

It turns out it's not just that!

Inheritance!

Is this what is called civilization inheritance?

Being a dog for others in the Old Era, and in the New Era, not forgetting one's roots, persisting in the 'original intention' of continuing to be a dog.

As expected of Sakura Country!

To actually have such a civilization inheritance, it's truly an eye-opener.

By the way, what's up with the 'evil country' you just mentioned? Tell the audience friends all over the world about it..."

"Are you really a Russian?" Chen Aoyun looked at Toslev with surprise.

"Nonsense! If I'm not a Russian, could I be you, a Dragon Country person!"

The burly, bearded Toslev was actually so smooth at sarcasm?

"Enough!" Saku Kenichi said with a face full of malice, "Chen Aoyun, shut up! This is not the first time you have slandered my great Sakura civilization!"

"Slander?" Chen Aoyun tilted his head, "Whether it's slander, initiate a Judgment and you'll know! Judgment can endorse my words; haven't you already experienced it once?

How about we make a bet.

I'll initiate a Judgment.

If my words can be recognized and become a weight in the Judgment, your Sakura Country will pay me double the national destiny I consumed?

What?

Dare not make this bet?"

Toslev said, "How could he dare to make this bet with you!

He just determined that you want to save the Dragon Country's national destiny.

It's fine!

You've said everything that needed to be said, this Judgment, I can do it for you!"

Toslev made a move to initiate Judgment.

Of course, Judgment would definitely be lost.

However, it was the same situation as Chen Aoyun's previous Judgment; this time, the Judgment was not to 'veto' the Sakura people's ability, but just to have that huge The Scales of the Land of Judgment endorse some things.

Seeing this, Saku Kenichi immediately said,

"With the time for Judgment, you might as well think about how to deal with the current situation!

My Sakura Country has the borrowed Towers to make up for defense, and we can also kill one of the two incoming elite demons.

Both sides can only kill one of the two elite demons, but no matter how you look at it, your crystal will explode first!"

Knowing full well that Saku Kenichi was changing the subject, what the other party said was also the truth.

Now, whether it was Russia or Sakura Country, at this moment, both were letting one of the two elite demons through.

But everyone was leaking monsters, one at a time, and the country whose crystal would be destroyed first was still Russia, because Russia had leaked three more monsters than Sakura Country before.

Focusing back on the incoming demons, Saku Kenichi looked at Chen Aoyun with certainty and said,

"My Towers have entries for detecting lies.

Just now you really didn't lie.

That is to say, your unknown means of destroying my Towers can no longer be used!

Didn't expect it, no matter how novel your methods are, no matter how incomprehensible they are, in the end, you will still be the ones to lose!"

"I did say that that method can no longer be used," Chen Aoyun nodded, but his eyes drifted to Toslev on the side.

Toslev understood, reached into his pocket, and fished around.

With this reach, he actually pulled out two red tokens!

Seeing the red tokens Toslev pulled out, Saku Kenichi was stunned.

Yes, Chen Aoyun could no longer use the 'excuse' that Saku Kenichi didn't know about to attack Sakura Country's Towers, but the 'excuse' was gone, the tokens were still there!

Saku Kenichi pointed at the red tokens in Toslev's hand in disbelief,

"Tokens!

How do you still have tokens in your hand?

This is impossible; the special targets related to red tokens have only appeared twice.

Didn't you already use the two from before? How can you still have them!"

"Toslev's two red tokens have already been used? Who told you that? I never said that," Chen Aoyun turned to look at Toslev, "Have you said that?"

Toslev spread his hands and said, "I didn't say that either."

While Saku Kenichi realized the truth, he was even more shocked in his heart,

"Not used?

That is to say, the previous six attacks on my Sakura Country's Towers were all from other 'excuses', and had nothing to do with tokens?

What kind of joke are you making!

The attacks other than tokens were not four times, but six times!?

I had already preemptively occupied all the 'excuses', four times was already outrageous enough, six times? This is absolutely impossible!"

Now it was Chen Aoyun's turn to say the same thing,

"What? Do you think there's a logical problem?

If there is, you can try initiating a Judgment!"

The exact same words were given to Saku Kenichi, and Saku Kenichi suddenly fell into a dilemma.

If he initiated a Judgment and lost, that would be sending national destiny to the Dragon Country.

But if he didn't initiate a Judgment, Chen Aoyun had used logic that Saku Kenichi couldn't understand to attack Sakura Country's Towers six times in a row, and now had two tokens in hand.

Using these two tokens would be enough to destroy the Towers he had just borrowed from the USA.

If those two Towers were destroyed, the country whose crystal would be gone first would definitely be his Sakura Country!

"Are you bluffing me?

Do you really think I don't dare to initiate a Judgment!"

Saku Kenichi stared fixedly at Chen Aoyun, as if trying to find the correct answer on Chen Aoyun's face.

And Chen Aoyun was calm, neither hiding anything nor deliberately revealing anything.

This expression made it even harder for Saku Kenichi to fathom.

Whether or not to initiate a Judgment, Saku Kenichi fell into deep thought.

Toslev would not wait for Saku Kenichi to make a decision; the two red tokens in his hand were crushed one after another.

As the tokens shattered, two rays of light shot out from the Tower behind Toslev, and these two rays of light headed straight toward the direction of the Sakura Country Tower formation.

The Towers that Saku Kenichi had just borrowed from the USA, before waiting for the appearance of the new round of elite demons, turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.
