NOVEL WEB Chapter 515: gu she Heads to the Frontline
The battlefield cleanup was rather noisy.
Lin Xiaosu and Hu Ya stood at the edge of the cliff, conversing more and more relaxedly.
Blood Trace stared at Gu She, his mind turning with unknown thoughts.
Gu She seemed somewhat apprehensive, standing motionless.
Meanwhile, Blue Demon and Miao Yin were engaged in a heated secret conversation.
"Why is Li Diandian so strong?" Blue Demon asked.
"Xue Ying mentioned it's the strangest thing she's ever witnessed," Miao Yin said. "Before Li Diandian went to the Middle East for a mission, her overall combat abilities were about the same as Xue Ying's. But after one trip home, she suddenly became unrecognizable. According to Xue Ying's view, she reached the level of a Heavenly King! That's why she strongly recommended her to join the battle today. But seeing her tonight, it's beyond chasing after a Heavenly King. Even if Jing Lei were resurrected, I fear he wouldn't be her match at all."
"She went home once and her combat power was completely transformed. What happened during that trip home?" Blue Demon furrowed her brows.
Miao Yin Heavenly King said, "This is what Xue Ying finds impossible to understand. Li Diandian went home after receiving a call from Lin Xiaose... I mean Lin Xiaosu. The call only had one sentence: 'Come home for meat!' She excitedly asked for leave to return home, and it only took one night. She hurried back the next day."
"Come home for meat! What kind of meat was it? So explosive?" Blue Demon was dumbfounded.
Miao Yin chuckled, "Regarding that meat, Xue Ying speculates a lot. She personally thinks the meat was given to Comrade Xiaose to eat, and it turns out... he really did eat it."
"Hmm?" Blue Demon widened her eyes.
Miao Yin's eyes glowed with intrigue, "Xue Ying could see that before leaving, Li Diandian was still a virgin, but upon return, she was no longer..."
"I..." Blue Demon let out a single sound of amazement. If not for Qianlong King's special status, she might have reacted like ordinary people, blurting out, "I can't believe it."
Miao Yin continued, "I have a question. Could this be related to the Rejuvenation System Cultivation Technique he practices? Any woman who has slept with him experiences significant cultivation improvement."
Blue Demon was stunned, "Are you anticipating something amazing?"
Miao Yin gave her a sidelong glance, "What are you thinking? I'm seriously analyzing the issue... Chang Ye followed him, and after surviving a life-and-death crisis last year, his cultivation improved dramatically, right? Miao Ruolan was with him, and now Miao Ruolan has even established the Blood Tower. Zhou Xi, Zhou Mei likely also followed him, with one becoming a genius in the detective world, and the other a Heavenly Pride in the police world... The next step may be to find answers from the young sister of the Miao Family. If this little sister, who hasn't cultivated at all, suddenly becomes a master, then it's solid proof that sleeping with him creates miraculous lives for women."
"If you want answers, then look for Ding Ruoshui!" Blue Demon rolled her eyes at her, "Finding answers with Yixiang is too impossible. Yixiang never intended to walk the path of Ancient Martial Cultivation; she's on the Gu Technique path, which is galaxies apart from him. I wouldn't believe in miracles achieved through sleeping without evidence..."
Her voice came to an abrupt stop.
Because Lin Xiaosu and Hu Ya approached.
Blood Trace stepped forward to greet them, "Brother, with a series of immense operations ending the Nine Headed Snake, do you need a break next?"
"It doesn't matter!" Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "If there's more to do, I won't object to going through it once more."
Blood Trace was overjoyed, "Would you be willing to head to the Southwest Frontline then?"
Southwest Frontline...
Lin Xiaosu's heart stirred.
He knew about the battle at the Southwest Frontline, specifically, the frontline west of Ding City, Liang Mountain.
Liang Mountain serves as the boundary with Gesang Country.
Gesang Country, a tiny nation, in terms of size and military might, is not on the same level as Daxia. Therefore, for a long time, Liang Mountain's border defense was merely symbolic.
It was only to guard against the influx of vagrants from Gesang Country.
However, recently, there has been a significant shift.
The political situation in the Middle East has been tumultuous, with various armed factions rapidly expanding. In Gesang Country, conflicts between the military and the political arena have become deeply entrenched, resulting in national chaos. Originally, there were many local armed groups, and now, it has become even more complex. Several armed forces from the Middle East have entered Gesang, even beginning to threaten Daxia's borders.
This is what he knew.
He also knew that the true cause of all this lies in the Li Tian Ancestral Hall.
The Li Tian Ancestral Hall, maneuvered by him, incited a siege by the Bai clan in the Bridge Realm, rendering their presence in the Bridge Realm untenable, forcing them to expand outward.
The Ancestral Hall emerged into the open, quickly taking control of the Flying Eagle Army.
Yes, the Flying Eagle Army was borrowed by Daxia to occupy the Divine Temple, but when the masters from Li Tian Ancestral Hall appeared, wielding various strange magic techniques, they easily gained control of the Flying Eagle Army. Using it as their leverage, they gained control over other armed forces in Durta, and now they've become the largest source of turmoil in the Middle East.
"Do they truly have the audacity to launch a military attack on Daxia?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
"It's not just those local forces; even Middle Eastern countries, attempting to launch a military action against Daxia, would be foolish. However, the tragedy of being pawns is that they cannot dictate their own destinies and can only become cannon fodder for those with ulterior motives," Blood Trace said.
Blue Demon added, "After the global release of the Nine Headed Snake list, international dynamics have drastically changed..."
The vast majority of countries, in line with Chief Long's assessment, have classified the Nine Headed Snake as a criminal organization, probing, and eradicating it.
But not all countries are like this.
Currently, three countries have dropped their facades!
Yingyu Country in Beimo Country, Luoba State's Luo ri Country, and Yi Country in the Middle East.
They defend the Nine Headed Snake, and their media portray it as an organization opposing violence, unearthing various instances to validate it.
The discourse power struggle is currently in full swing.
People worldwide have come to see clearly that these three countries are deeply infiltrated by the Nine Headed Snake, with their political scenes almost entirely dominated by conglomerates and shadows of the Nine Headed Snake.
But what can be done?
This is the way the world is: as long as there are people who dare to speak, there are those who dare to believe. Right and wrong, justice and wickedness, have never been straightforward.
This battle against the Nine Headed Snake is not the end after all.
Even though the top echelons of the Nine Headed Snake have been truly eliminated, the malaise remains.
Their control over the political arena is even more terrifying than these organizations because they wield national power.
Moreover, the three countries that have currently been exposed are all longstanding powers, with formidable military strength.
Yingyu Country's military strength is globally recognized as number one.
Yi Country's military strength is the best in the Middle East.
Luo ri Country's military strength is the best in Luoba State.
They are currently whitewashing the Nine Headed Snake, and the first wave of results is already evident: the Nine Headed Snake members who have been expelled from various countries, their controlled enterprises, wealth, and technical personnel cannot take root in their home countries, so they are immigrating en masse to these three countries.
In the past month, global capital has been pouring frantically into these three countries, and their economies are growing rapidly.
Lin Xiaosu was deeply moved by Blue Demon's words.
In everyone's mind, once the Nine Headed Snake is exposed, it would collapse completely, but in fact, this idea is flawed.
The complexity of global situations and the evolution of the law of the jungle have never been predictable.
People without shame are invincible.
Nations without shame are capable of anything.
Miao Yin Heavenly King added, "Currently on the Southwest Frontline, what seems like provocations by a few local militias can absolutely be understood as a proxy war. Evidence indicates that Utopia is vigorously absorbing the remnants of the Nine Headed Snake, with strong support from Yingyu Country, Yi Country, and Luo ri Country. They hope to break through the Daxia defense line, entangle Daxia in a proxy war, cause capital to flow out of Daxia, weaken Daxia's military myth, dismantle the Eastern Camp, and let Yingyu Country return to the pinnacle of the world while establishing global rules centered around them."
This is like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a tornado on the Taiping west coast.
Once the Nine Headed Snake shifts from underground to above ground, the situation becomes even more severe.
Lin Xiaosu said, "I understand the seriousness of the situation, but after all, we are not military people."
Blood Trace said, "Yes, we are not involved in the military. Our sole aim in going to the Southwest Frontline is to deal with the experts from the Li Tian Clan."
In modern warfare, Lin Xiaosu and the others are not really professionals.
However, superhuman-level experts interspersed in modern warfare often completely alter the appearance of conventional war.
Qianlong has already made arrangements.
The Eight Heavenly Kings are all heading to the Southwest, with 100,000 Qianlong elite forces on standby.
No matter what objectives the enemy of this proxy war wishes to achieve, the steel army of Daxia and the 100,000 elite of Qianlong will completely obliterate them.
"Is there any plan for the Earthfall Beast?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
"Yes! But how effective it will be remains to be tested." Blood Trace replied.
"Alright, I'll make a trip to the Southwest!" Lin Xiaosu declared.
Blood Trace, Blue Demon, and Miao Yin Heavenly King were all overjoyed. For some reason, at this point, regardless of the battle situation, as long as Lin Xiaosu was present, they seemed reassured.
This was the psychological comfort that past Jing Lei provided them.
Now that Jing Lei's true identity had been exposed and he met his fate at the border town, Lin Xiaosu had become the new stabilizing star.
Lin Xiaosu slowly turned back, and behind him, a person slowly raised his gaze.
gu she.
Tonight, from the start of the battle until the battlefield cleanup was nearly complete, gu she was an exception; he didn't fit in with anyone around him.
Maybe only one person could talk to him.
That person was Lin Xiaosu.
"Have you considered where your path leads next?" Lin Xiaosu's voice was soft.
gu she lightly sighed, "I've thought about it, the Southwest!"
Blood Trace King's heart skipped a beat.
"Are you sure? From now on, fighting for the country?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
gu she smiled lightly, he smiled!
His smile, though still somewhat eerie, indicated a difference from the past.
gu she said, "For years, walking on the edge of darkness, I've actually wanted to roam freely in the sunlight! If I come back alive from the battle in the Southwest, I'll go see my sister. If I can't return alive, pass a message to her for me."
Lin Xiaosu said, "I'll tell her that you didn't let down her thirteen years of expectations; you have become the pride of your parents!"
"Pride, I... won't think about it!" gu she said, "I just wish she could fold me a reed horse with the heart of a boy as she did back then."
With a flash, gu she slipped into the grass and disappeared.
"I'm leaving!"
Lin Xiaosu strode down the mountain.
"I'll see him off!" Hu Ya stepped out and, as if afraid someone would stop her, dashed a long distance away just as she finished speaking...
