Chapter 102: The Battle of Defense

Even General Bai Qi had led the charge, and the ordinary soldiers' blood was already boiling; they gripped their weapons and charged forward madly.

Drums and horns sounded together as the entire army mobilized.

Their momentum was like a rainbow, overwhelming as toppling mountains and overturning seas.

Dust filled the sky, the earth trembled wildly, and even the dark clouds above were dispersed in an instant by the war cries of the Qin army.

The terrifying scale of a million-strong army left every spectator in the arena trembling with fear.

Especially the audience of the Great Bear Nation, who had earlier been clamoring to appear in the seventh match.

Now they even breathed with extreme caution, terrified of drawing attention to themselves.

Wooo—

Wolf smoke rose on all sides, war drums shook the heavens.

The Qin army, fully equipped and ready, every soldier brave and skilled in battle — when they charged into the army summoned by Xiexi Mary's three Summoned Creatures,

it was like splitting bamboo, easily breaking through their defensive line.

They quickly penetrated deep into the enemy's heartland, swinging their weapons; those so-called fierce ghosts, clowns, armored soldiers, and cultists were slain as easily as cutting down scarecrows.

Squelch, squelch—

On the battlefield,

blood splattered in all directions.

The earth wailed.

This disorganized ragtag force of two hundred thousand could perhaps have been effortlessly wiped out by even ten thousand Qin soldiers alone.

Let alone the fact that on this battlefield, there were a full million Qin soldiers!

A million Qin soldiers!

What the hell kind of concept was that!

If in ancient times the Great Qin Empire had held the world map, perhaps we wouldn't even need to learn English!

This seventh match was simply a thorough and absolute crushing battle!

Whether in single combat or legion warfare, the opponent didn't have the slightest chance of winning!

In the span of a few breaths,

the army summoned by Xiexi Mary's three Summoned Creatures was completely annihilated!

Their corpses were trampled into pulp.

Shattered to dust!

"The army is destroyed, the commanders are dead — you have no reason to keep living either!"

Bai Qi's gaze flashed, and in less than a second, he effortlessly eliminated the beyond-SSS-Rank Kongju Mask, Xiexi Mary, and Extreme Evil Ugly Emperor!

They never could have imagined, even up to the moment of their deaths,

that the opponent they encountered in this seventh match would be so far beyond convention!

So powerful it defied all reason!

"Damn it!!!!"

From the Beauty Alliance's seats, Charlie's wail rang out instantly.

"Lost again, lost again..."

"The seventh match, and Dragon Nation won again."

"Damn it! Is there no country that can step forward and suppress Dragon Nation's arrogant swagger!"

The arena fell completely silent.

The answer was obvious — no.

The seventh challenge tournament concluded!

Dragon Nation achieved a sweeping victory!

Even three terrifying existences beyond SSS-Rank had no power to fight back before the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi.

A complete victory, an absolute crushing, with no suspense whatsoever.

"I declare the seventh challenge tournament, hereby concluded!"

"The winner belongs to — Dragon Nation!"

As the referee's mysterious voice rang out from the platform.

The audience finally confirmed that in this seventh challenge tournament, Dragon Nation had truly won!

"Damn it! How could this be — three Summoned Creatures beyond SSS-Rank, and they still couldn't match Dragon Nation?"

"Could it be that their Summoned Creatures have reached the legendary SSSS Rank?"

"But how could SSSS-Rank Summoned Creatures possibly exist in this world!"

"Not having a classified rank doesn't mean they don't exist — is it possible that Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures simply fall outside this ranking system altogether?"

"Don't forget, every time Zhang Cheng summons a Summoned Creature, he says it's of unknown rank!"

Some unwilling-to-accept spectators now wore extremely ugly expressions.

Of course, there were also some spectators who had been deeply won over by Dragon Nation.

They even began to accept the reality that Dragon Nation was about to unify the globe.

"Damn it! No, this absolutely cannot be allowed — if this momentum continues, won't Dragon Nation truly unify the Earth?"

"When that time comes, our Great Bear Nation will inevitably have nowhere to stand; we cannot just submit!"

"But even if we don't submit, what can we do?"

"Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures are simply too strong; no matter what Summoned Creature we send out, it's futile."

"They are like a bottomless abyss — the stronger the ones we send, the stronger they become!"

"Damn, how could this be? What exactly is the difference between our country and Dragon Nation? Why, at every critical moment, do they always manage to turn the tide!"

"The Great Hero Nation, which has an irreconcilable blood feud with Dragon Nation."

"They understand that once Dragon Nation unifies the world, what awaits them will be a bloody reckoning."

"None will escape!"

"In a moment."

"At the Challenge Grand Prix, spectators from many countries were worried."

"Especially the leaders of major powers like Charlie never expected the situation to develop so quickly."

"In the blink of an eye, the nation's fate hangs by a thread!"

"The situation has completely spiraled out of control!"

"\"With the conclusion of the seventh Challenge Grand Prix, only one last chance remains for the countries still eligible to compete. \""

"The Mysterious Judge's voice gradually grew solemn,"

"\"Therefore, I announce, effective immediately! \""

"\"The Challenge Grand Prix is officially changed to the Defensive War. \""

"\"Dragon Nation is the attacking side. \""

"\"The Indic Alliance, Beautiful Alliance, Great Hero Nation, Xiao Han Republic, and Triumphant Alliance—these five nations hostile to Dragon Nation—are the defending side. \""

"\"The attacking side will launch a challenge against the defending side; if the defending side loses, Dragon Nation will gain complete dominion over their nation,"

"\"covering land, resources, and people. \""

"\"Of course, if the defending side succeeds, Dragon Nation's national strength will be greatly weakened, and the Summoned Creature Level will drop,"

"\"and the defending side can even seize the opportunity to counterattack and take Dragon Nation's territory. \""

"\"Of course, the defending side needs to be fully prepared, and the attacking side also needs to rest. \""

"\"Therefore, after each attack, Dragon Nation must rest for 72 hours before launching another attack. \""

"This rule is not hard to understand."

"Actually,"

"It's just like an ordinary one-on-one duel."

"The difference is that the rewards and punishments for the two sides are not equal."

"Moreover, the battlefield of the Defensive War is no longer the Divine Ghost Killing Arena."

"but the home turf of the defending side."

"For example, if Dragon Nation wants to attack the Triumphant Alliance, it must go to the location designated by the Triumphant Alliance for the showdown."

"This is naturally an advantage for the defending side."

"They can fully set up traps in advance, or use Summoned Creatures on a city-by-city basis."

"However, Zhang Cheng doesn't care about this at all."

"Things like traps."

"Under absolute strength's crushing pressure, they are utterly useless."

"\"Of course, to clarify beforehand, in the Defensive War the attacking side cannot freely choose its attack target. \""

"\"It's entirely random. \""

"The Mysterious Judge continued speaking, but seemed to feel this arrangement was not quite suitable, and added,"

"\"Of course, as compensation, after victory the attacking side's nation will see its technology and economy levels rise again. \""

"\"Furthermore, I will reveal to it a piece of critical information concerning Earth's future. \""

"\"Well then, please have the Dragon Nation competitor start drawing lots. \""

"Pap!"

"The Mysterious Judge snapped his fingers."

"In the next instant, a huge turntable appeared in the center of the arena."

"The turntable was divided into five equal sections, labeled respectively: Great Hero Nation, Indic Alliance, Beautiful Alliance, Triumphant Alliance, Xiao Han Republic."

"Zhang Cheng grabbed a corner of the turntable and gave it a hard spin."

"Soon,"

"the result was revealed."

"Triumphant Alliance."

"Beautiful Alliance."

"Xiao Han Republic."

"Indic Alliance."

"Great Hero Nation."

"\"Does Great Hero Nation only get its turn in the final round? \""

"Zhang Cheng's gaze looked a bit strange."

"As a Dragon Nation citizen, he naturally wanted to attack Great Hero Nation in the first round."

"Erasing Great Hero Nation from the earth is the inner wish of many Dragon Nation people."

"However,"

"Putting Great Hero Nation in the final round,"

"is not entirely impossible."

"Destroying Great Hero Nation, unifying the world."

"Either way, both are stirring, magnificent achievements."

If the two unite, that day will become an incomparably glorious page in the history of the Dragon Nation.

The confidence of the Dragon Nation's people will also reach its peak on that day!

Moreover,

Since ancient times, the Dragon Nation's people have always believed that good things come in pairs!

Regardless of reason, attacking the Great Hero Nation in the final round is a good option.

Even the effect would be dozens of times better than attacking the Great Hero Nation in the first round!

「Guardian War……」

「This is our last chance; we absolutely cannot afford to lose again! 」

Meng Lingchuanxi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a ruthless glare.

This is a contest that concerns the survival of the nation.

He had already prepared to abandon all moral constraints.

At any cost, summon the Great Hero Nation's most powerful Summoned Creature!

At this moment,

Even the Great Hero Nation's spectators stopped barking.

They understood that things were no longer as before; if they lost, they could not possibly survive.

「Damn it, if we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have insulted the Dragon Nation. 」

「If we had allied with the Dragon Nation earlier, perhaps we wouldn't be in this predicament. 」

「Look at Bear Nation and those other countries on good terms with the Dragon Nation—they don't have to worry about their land being overrun, and they've even signed cooperation agreements with the Dragon Nation. 」

「Although some industries may be affected by the Dragon Nation, at least the Dragon Nation doesn't interfere with their sovereignty! 」

「Ahhh! 」
