CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 471 YOU ARE ALREADY SURROUNDED BY US

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Throughout this year...

From the first active strike by the Cuowu Sect, there were even casualties.

But after tasting the sweetness that first time.

The entire Qisha Military District was thrown into madness.

Coming here, confronting the Chi Yu mysterious clan head-on...

No one wouldn’t understand that their fatality rate was probably going to be higher than any other military district among the Nine Major Military Regions.

Even the people of the Cuowu Sect had some awareness, although even they didn’t expect the war to be so brutal.

But Xu Lingjun brought a miracle to them.

Annihilating a force five times their number, yet only three unlucky ones died...

One of whom died from playing tricks, the other two were crushed to death, which was almost embarrassing to list them among the martyrs.

For a time, the call for proactive strikes within the Qisha Military District was high.

It wasn’t to attack the Chi Yu mysterious clan; they were somewhat restrained, knowing that with their current force, if the enemy really launched an offensive, they would likely need to seek support to hold out, let alone counterattack.

But those miraculous weapons could minimize the difference in numbers.

Especially since Xu Lingjun painted them a grand vision, he aimed to arm the entire perimeter of the defensive outpost with these weapons...

By then, the original first line of defense would become the final line.

People could already envision the despair of the Chi Yu Race as they tried to attack the Qisha Military District, having to overcome eighty-one obstacles before even seeing the enemy’s walls.

The Cuowu Sect set a good precedent.

Everyone was frantically excited and prepared to strike...

At first, production capacity was insufficient, so it took them half a month to deploy weapons in random locations each time they went out.

With the Transformation Capsules, they worried little about carrying weight, moving swiftly.

Even if the Chi Yu mysterious clan discovered the Polar Star Battlefield leaving the district... and came to eliminate them immediately, they still inevitably fell into the enemy’s traps.

Later on, the Chi Yu mysterious clan became smarter.

They never approached human traps, only using artillery bombardment from afar, which did cause the Qisha Military District’s warriors significant casualties.

But humans reacted swiftly.

They began playing tactics of appearing and disappearing, seemingly retreating but launching attacks elsewhere...

And no longer planned on ambushing the Chi Yu Race, just deploying those weapons and leaving immediately after.

Especially after Xu Lingjun connected with Wang Qingya.

Wang Qingya specifically represented the Zhanzheng Academy to meet Xu Lingjun...

Xu Lingjun spent a full three hours showing her around the research center of the Qisha Military District.

Then spent another three days showing her his bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and balcony, his new Mecha, and even during a quiet moment, once again took her to tour the research center, and together they extensively experienced the Iron Warrior’s Invisibility Device...

He explained his needs to Wang Qingya, deeply and thoroughly.

After discussions that nearly ended in voicelessness, Wang Qingya was finally brought to resonance.

Thereafter, 70% of the weapon manufacturing was undertaken by the Zhanzheng Academy, but Xu Lingjun had to unconditionally open these weapons’ permissions to the Zhanzheng Academy...

To this, Xu Lingjun naturally had no objections.

It saved costs anyway.

Although the Zhanzheng Academy would eventually become family, it was still public property at the moment, and some things really couldn’t be done too openly... feeding the future Pavilion Master wasn’t going to make everything joyous and carefree.

With the aid of the Zhanzheng Academy.

Along with the Supreme prestige already established within the Qisha Military District...

More new miraculous weapons were completed and sent to the research facilities as well as the research centers of the Zhanzheng Academy.

Such as the EX-s Poisonous Snake Cannon, G-1 Corona, and other weapons with a strong ability to destroy individual soldiers.

Not to mention the intentionally installed Invisibility Devices.

After a year of accumulation.

By the end, even the warriors of the Qisha Military District themselves didn’t know how many hidden mines they had set up.

One must note that the Chi Yu mysterious clan wasn’t inactive, and they later found that these weapons exercised strong restraint over metallic gear...

So they switched to using new Battle Armor and warships.

This increased the difficulty of deploying weapons quite a bit again... but over time, as the difficulty rapidly decreased again.

After all, the number of these weapons was increasing, almost completely transforming the piece of empty land separating the Qisha Military District and the Chi Yu mysterious clan into a minefield.

A small mistake would lead to an explosion.

Thankfully, these weapons had a friend-or-foe recognition system, for indeed in Command & Conquer, those warfare systems were all set up in a small camp, yet there were no incidents of anyone blowing up their own people.

Otherwise, the people of the Qisha Military District themselves might not have dared to venture out.

In a year’s time...

The space available for Chi Yu mysterious clan activity was getting smaller and smaller.

Especially the space between the two battlefronts... it was unclear when, but a large number of Mechas began to appear from the Qisha Military District.

Using the Mechas.

Those asteroids floating between the two battlefronts were also tampered with...

Larger asteroids were rigged with various miraculous weapons, particularly the Eiffel Tower, which could generate electricity by itself to be self-sufficient... needing no further attention once set up.

Thus.

In just one year.

The Chi Yu mysterious clan was shocked to discover...

They were surrounded.

Indeed... their base was still safe.

But even a routine patrol around the base could result in them returning with a load of ammunition.

More terrifyingly...

With so many powerful weapons, they didn’t even know how these were brought in.

They appeared inexplicably.

Even though the two battlefronts faced each other, Cheng Xinmei had a sense of illusion... she felt she was already surrounded by the Qisha Military District across from them.

Her frontier post was now the final safety zone.

In recent times, the internal defensive facilities of the post had always been in full activation... because Cheng Xinmei felt that if she wasn’t careful, it was very likely that one day in the future, when she woke up, she would find the entire base no longer belonged to them.

It was as if she still didn’t know what exactly happened, yet their defensive construction had already been pushed under their frontier post.

Feeling utterly lost...

And after a year.

The Cuowu Sect’s three thousand disciples, over three hundred casualties.

But the remaining over two thousand underwent transformative growth in this year, not just in strength, but more so in maturity of mentality and experience...

Recalling when they had just arrived, even they couldn’t help but want to ridicule themselves.

The greatest progress, on the contrary, came from the Baoyan Army Legion.

The Baoyan Army Legion was rich in combat strength, lacking only in the practice of advanced Martial Skills.

But now with the Martial Skills from both the Cuowu Sect and Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion as support...

Indeed, now the entire Qisha Military District, everyone held multiple roles.

Apprentices of the Wind Fist Style, honorary disciples of the Cuowu Sect, and honorary students of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

After all, it was their immediate superior who did this... since he didn’t say anything, they naturally wouldn’t complain either.

As a result, every person managed to advance a major realm.

And some even broke through to become Martial Artists of the Eighth Layer of the Profound Realm...though unfortunately, reached the Eighth Layer seemed to be their limit.

The Wind Fist Martial Skill harmed their bodies, coupled with being beyond the best age to practice martial arts, of the ten thousand in the Baoyan Army, according to Xu Lingjun’s estimation, no more than three could break through to become a Grandmaster.

However, for them, it already meant a lot.

And throughout this year, Xu Lingjun’s cultivation was never neglected.

Although he often wanted to engage fiercely with his colleagues at the drill ground.

Even the roughest tempered person like Thunder Roar was unwilling to spar with Xu Lingjun.

Let alone Gu Xi...and as she was Xu Lingjun’s former Teaching Assistant.

If she lost, how embarrassing would that be?

So she also flatly refused...

This led Xu Lingjun to have no choice but to immerse himself in rigorous practice.

Luckily, the effect of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique was to perform exceptionally, accumulating strength over time.

The Eighth Layer of Profound Realm!

His strength deepened, even reaching the brink of the Ninth Layer.

And just then, the Qisha Military District finally received their first order from the Great Xia Empire!

War, at last, had come!
