Chapter 401: The Countdown to the Destruction of the Nation and the Extermination of the Species
"Lord, that thing ......" Abe
Qingming wanted to speak and stopped, looking very hesitant.
The emperor heard the meaning of Abe Harumi's words, but his face changed drastically, as if he had heard the end of the world.
"No! no!" the Emperor refused, "that thing is too powerful and unstable, and we don't have the technology to deliver it from a distance. Once it erupts, it will destroy the whole of Dongying!"
Abe Qingming closed his eyes: "But the lord, Dongying, has been ruined!"
"Let me think again, think again. The emperor sat down in his chair and looked at Abe with helpless eyes, full of hesitation.
That thing is a superweapon that the East China and the West are engaged in a military competition, and the two sides have been secretly researching each other.
When Dongying surrendered to Huaxia, he was not willing to surrender. Before the death of the country, the Dongying people sent many Dongying spies to China, and after the end of the war, these spies were not sent back to their home countries, but went into hiding, deep in China. One of the spies actually infiltrated the periphery of the Huaxia Academy of Science and stole the original materials of the super weapon! Although he was soon discovered by the guards, after paying the price of his life, this information still reached the hands of Emperor Toei.
However, since Dongying surrendered, there has been a serious loss of scientific and technological talents, and they have never been able to research this super weapon by relying on their own research.
At this time, the Western Grand Alliance, which was ready to do something, intervened.
This time, the East Ying rioted into an independence movement, and the Western Grand Alliance behind it made a lot of efforts. In order to make Dongying feel at ease to find trouble with Huaxia, the Western Grand Alliance not only contributed money and efforts, but also provided some information about superweapons for Dongying to study by himself. After integrating the precious materials of the Eastern and Western superweapons, the emperor secretly established a research department to study superweapons.
However, the time for Dongying's research is too short, the current superweapon is extremely unstable, and the most critical long-distance delivery technology has not been researched, so it cannot be used in actual combat at all.
If they forcibly use super weapons, I am afraid that they will be the first to destroy!
But if you don't need to......
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live Toei!"
"The soul of a samurai will never be extinguished!" (Note)
"Give your heart for the Great Dongying Empire!" (Note 1)
"Fifty years on earth is nothing more than a small thing compared to heaven and earth...... Looking at the whole world, in the sea and the sky, there is no one who lives forever!" (Note 2)
"Gorgeous as cherry blossoms, blooming in an instant and then withering. The flowers are as evidenced by the fragrance, and they were once thrilling......" (Note 3)
......
In the front hall of the Emperor's Imperial Palace, from time to time these ghost-like wails and moans can be heard. They were all Toei rebels who gathered together because of the order of Emperor Toei. After suffering defeat on the front line, the Dongying rebel army was forced to have nowhere to go by the Chinese plough court and could only retreat to the emperor's palace to seek the last psychological comfort.
Severe injuries, combined with the defeat of the army, plunged these last samurai into the abyss of self-despair.
The last guardian of a country thinks most about not how hard to live, but how to die heroically. The country is basically at the time when it is time to really perish......
......
Outside the Emperor's Imperial Palace, Huaxia's army had already completed the battlefield sweep and surrounded this last stronghold of Dongying. As soon as the order for the general attack is issued, they will rush in and truly turn Dongying into Huaxia's territory!
However, what is surprising is that it is clear that the war has reached this point, and victory is within reach. However, the general offensive order of the General Staff Headquarters (that is, the military headquarters in the mouth of the older generation) has not been moved, which is very surprising.
The General Staff Headquarters seemed to have some scruples, and they didn't know what they were afraid of.
The purpose of the members of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau to accompany the army was to prevent the Dongying cultivators from making a move and disrupting the situation on the battlefield. But now, except for a few newly dead ghosts and ignorant demons that they encountered by chance, other cultivators with supernatural abilities didn't even see a shadow.
It stands to reason that since Dongying has an onmyoji like Abe Qingming, he broke the rules and made such a big move in the imperial capital of China. Now that Dongying is in the midst of the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family, it is impossible not to use these forces outside the secular world.
But the reality is exactly like this, which has to make people doubt their intentions.
This thing is a bit strange, and an ominous premonition swells in everyone's hearts.
Zhang Lingxue was afraid that he would encounter another incident like the last time he was in the imperial capital, when all the staff fell into the illusion array set up by the enemy and could not get out. So after the Chinese army surrounded the Emperor's Palace, she led a cadre of the Special Operations Group and others to do the work of "mine clearance".
This "mine" is not a thermal weapon such as a landmine, let alone a trap laid by the Dongying people.
It is the luck of Dongying.
To be precise, it should be Dongying's dragon vein node.
There is aura in the world, so there are cultivators.
Dongying is a remnant corner of Yingzhou, and there is naturally no shortage of aura, although the attribute of this aura, it has deviated in a strange direction. Compared to humans, Dongying's aura is obviously more suitable for demon cultivation. Therefore, Dongying is famous for its rampant demons and hundreds of ghosts. Even the Onmyoji, who can be regarded as a human cultivator, and its strongest Onmyoji, Abe Harumi, is also a half-demon body, not a human in the true sense.
These demon cultivators usually have the natural supernatural powers of their own clan, and they have a bit of weird skills.
Originally, the people in the special operations group still had some headaches about how to fight against these monsters, and some people proposed a bad trick of "directly digging up Dongying's dragon veins and draining the source of their aura".
Zhang Lingxue didn't agree at first, because this trick was too damaging. Cut off the dragon vein, and the luck of a country will be extinguished. Where is this against the enemy, it is clearly breaking the roots!
But now under this weird atmosphere, everyone's nerves are a little tense, and this trick has been brought up again. Those cultivators in Dongying have not appeared for a long time, they must have been brewing a big deal. If you don't strike first, you'll suffer!
The killing in the past few days has made everyone's hearts feel heavy. They desperately want to end it all as soon as possible, even in such a radical way.
Although Zhang Lingxue didn't feel very comfortable, she also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so in the end, she still followed everyone's wishes, cut off the dragon vein, and cut off her luck!
