The Mightiest Little Peasant Webnovel - Chapter 802
Chapter 802: Start of the Battle
The Shu lands were located in the western part of Huaxia and were under the jurisdiction of the western military region.
After the seven sects joined their forces, soldiers were stationed around there. Tanks and missile vehicles formed a long line and entered the mountain range.
At the same time, the engineering corps built makeshift bases.
A large military base was built not far away from the mountain range. Many personnel and equipment were brought there.
A big radar in the middle of the base was particularly eye-catching.
The radar pointed its antenna and monitored the entire mountain range day and night. Nothing that the cultivators did escaped its surveillance.
The Agency had received a large amount of funding, and they were rich enough to develop new technologies, such as a miniature radar that could be mounted on a car.
It was also thanks to those radars that they could keep track of the movement of the people from Shu Mountain.
All the forces of the Union had gathered there, including Hua Mountain, Kongtong, and Mao mountain. They were preparing for battle.
“They sent people out again to scout for treasures. From the looks of it, they are preparing to fight!”
General Bai said in the command center.
There was a big map of the mountain range on the screen behind him. The red dot in the middle of the mountain range represented the location of Shu Mountain, while the four blue dots surrounding it were the four military bases.
“They have a lot of movement in this period. They should be acting in the next two or three days. Everyone must remain vigilant,” General Bai continued.
Then, he looked at Tang Hao. “Will you guys… be OK?”
Tang Hao nodded. “We can take them on any time!”
He was very confident that they would win. Not only had they gathered a large number of equipment and weapons, but the Union had also increased its strength in that period.
They had Shu Mountain to thank for a lot of their new equipment.
Medicinal herbs could be made into pills. Artifacts could be equipped to increase their power. Eating the exotic beasts could directly strengthen their cultivation bases.
Moreover, the souls and qi cores of the beasts could also be used to refine pills, creating even more Perfected Persons.
Mao Mountain alone had three more Perfected Persons. The number of Perfected Persons from Hua Mountain and Kongtong had increased too.
“That’s good to know!” General Bai nodded.
They continued to study all kinds of possible situations.
Late one night.
Ripples appeared in the air in the valley, and a figure walked out.
He was dressed in white, and his beard and hair fluttered in the wind. He was none other than the sect leader of Shu Mountain.
His eyes sparkled intensely, and his expression was solemn.
Cultivators appeared behind him one after another. Eventually, they filled the entire valley.
“It’s time for battle. Let’s teach those natives a lesson!”
“Kill them!”
The valley resounded with their roars.
At that moment, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the military base.
“They’re here!”
General Bai slapped the table and stood up. “Attack immediately. Let’s take the initiative!”
The order was passed down. In a few seconds, a dense wave of artillery fire and missiles were fired from the bases. They converged on the target location from all four directions.
Drones and fighter jets were also deployed.
The first wave of attacks was exceptionally violent. The entire night sky was lit up by the flames of the missiles.
One could not count all of them at a glance.
In the valley, the people raised their heads and looked at the scene in shock.
Other than the people from Shu Mountain, no one else had seen such a spectacular scene.
“Charge!”
The Shu Mountain sect leader’s expression changed slightly. He roared and rushed forward. At the same time, the sword on his back flew out of its sheath and toward the sky.
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions.
However, the missiles covered a large area. They could not escape the bombardment in time.
They managed to intercept some of the missiles, but even more fell on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently from the countless explosions.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!”
Many people died tragically in the first attack.
“Quick!”
As they roared, they increased their speed and rushed forward. If they could destroy the four bases, they would not face that much pressure.
They split up into four teams of about seven or eight hundred people each.
At full speed, even the drones could not catch up to them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Missiles continued to bombard them, but the damage was limited.
“They’re too fast! We can’t track them!”
In the command center, everyone looked at the map that was packed densely with red dots moving rapidly. Their expressions were grim.
The first wave of attacks did not achieve its desired effect.
The enemy only lost about three hundred people in that attack. There were still about three thousand of them left.
General Bai frowned and said decisively, “There are still too many of them. This can’t go on! We’ll have to use our trump card and attack these four areas! We should make it if we fire it now.”
As he said that, he extended his hand and pointed at the area between the red dots and the four bases.
The order was passed down. Not far behind the military base, four DF series missiles shot into the sky and flew toward their targets faster than the speed of sound.
When they reached the sky above the target area, they turned into countless warheads and bombarded downward.
The attack hit the enemy squarely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mountains collapsed, and the ground trembled. It was like the end of the world.
“Ahhhh!”
Many people continued to scream in agony.
Many cultivators were blasted into pieces, and many others were sent flying by the shockwave. Even the Perfected Persons suffered internal injuries.
“What kind of weapon is that? It’s too terrifying!”
They were extremely shocked.
“Faster! Faster! It’s right in front of us!” They were afraid that the enemy would strike again, and so they dashed forward as fast as they could.
Soon, the base in front of them was in sight.
They were ecstatic. If they destroyed the bases, they would have won half the battle. Even if they paid a heavy price to do so, it was still worth it.
“Kill them!”
Their eyes glinted with bloodthirst as they roared crazily. They activated their weapons or sorcery and attacked the base in front of them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the dark night, streaks of light as dense as raindrops sliced across the sky and enveloped the entire base.
The intensity of the attacks was enough to raze the base to the ground.
“We won!”
Many people were already cheering.
In the next moment, their expressions froze on their faces.
A flash of light appeared in the sky above the base, and a translucent light barrier appeared and blocked the attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The streaks of light exploded brilliantly like fireworks.
The light barrier trembled violently and dimmed a little, but it was still intact.
Everyone was stunned. They stopped charging and looked blankly at the imposing light barrier in front of them.
How could there be a defensive formation?
They were all dumbfounded!
They had not considered that in their plan at all!
