Chapter 913 - 473: Great Xia’s Firearm Revolution, Resisting High Rank Knights (Part 3)
"Splash!"
The melting snow in the mountains transformed into a flood, roaring past the peaks like a ferocious, untamed dragon.
Yang Fan recalled his previous experience and murmured softly: "The first time entering the Sobbing Green Sea, we unexpectedly encountered an Insect Monster of High Rank Knight Level."
"Fortunately, I’ve been promoted to Knight, my combat power enough to contend with it, otherwise, we might have faced complete annihilation."
Gaba Muda believed that the explorations of the Canglan People were always smooth sailing, but that was far from reality.
The dangers encountered by the Canglan People in developing Primordial resources were no less than those faced by the Iron Fist Civilization.
But it was the formidable top-level combat power, along with ample preemptive preparations, that allowed them to nip threats in the bud.
After a few seconds.
Yang Fan took out a communicator and asked, "General Long, have the Bering People entered Jickistan?"
Long Xingyun’s response came immediately: "Mr. Ghost, just as you anticipated, we encountered two Bering Special Forces Teams and one Bering Superpower Squad."
This commander paused for a moment, then cursed: "These damned Bering People, their own country is in chaos, many cities submerged by floods, yet suddenly they covet the land of Jickistan."
Yang Fan was unsurprised: "Among the Five Great Stan Countries in the middle of the East Continent, Jickistan has the most mutated minerals. Of course, the Bering People want to seize the good things amidst the flood."
He issued two consecutive orders:
"Eliminate the Bering People!"
"Deploy the military forces in advance, enter Jickistan quickly!"
Long Xingyun responded again: "Understood!"
Great Xia had long arranged the deployment of eight reinforced divisions, with a total force exceeding 100,000, enough to deploy within Jickistan in two hours.
In this flood-ravaged period, throughout Canglan Star, only Great Xia possessed such formidable transportation capabilities.
In the Dream Realm.
Jike People’s territory was divided between Great Xia and Bering.
The Bering People had deep historical ties with the Jike People, with bases within their territory, thus acquiring over sixty percent of the area.
Most importantly, within Jickistan lies world’s largest First level Exotic Material "Black Crystal Iron Mine," ultimately falling into the hands of the Bering People.
Over the subsequent decades, this mutated mineral continued to "grow," with new mineral veins forming each year.
In the Supernatural Era, Black Crystal Iron was an extremely versatile material, and Great Xia’s industrial upgrade plan heavily depended on it.
In reality.
Yang Fan certainly wouldn’t tolerate such an unfortunate event occurring again, hence his early preparations to ensure this land falls under Great Xia’s jurisdiction.
Bering People, return to where you came from!
*
The next day.
A series of events occurred in Jickistan.
In the airspace over the country, a fully stealth drone swept past.
Two mechanical dragonflies were deployed, flying silently with the wind, approaching a heavy helicopter and quietly affixing themselves to its fuselage.
The side of the helicopter was prominently painted with the flag of the Bering People.
A few seconds later.
"Wooo~"
The alarm sounded suddenly.
The helicopter unexpectedly lost speed and plunged towards the raging flood below, splashing a large wave upon impact with the water surface.
In a Keke City, largely submerged by the flood.
A Bering Kingdom’s Superpower Squad suddenly suffered an attack from underwater.
Several large waves surged, assailing several Bering Superpower Users.
They immediately realized the enemy was formidable, decisively opting to disperse and escape.
A bizarre situation occurred, dense water droplets descended from the sky, extremely viscous, clinging firmly to their bodies, even Power could hardly shake them off.
As raindrops continued to fall, their bodies became progressively heavy, eventually sinking underwater, soon falling silent.
Just tens of meters away.
A blue-haired youth emerged from the water, sneering: "You weaklings dare contest with Great Xia for territory?"
The youth, originally named "Trey," was a Shapudian, awakened strong Water Element Superpower before turning 15, and later brought to Great Xia by Yang Fan as Mr. Ghost, renamed Zhao Canghai.
Singly vanquishing a Superpower Squad attests to the exceptional prowess of this youth.
Zhao Canghai pressed his ear and swiftly reported: "Report! Mission accomplished!"
Praise was promptly delivered: "Major Zhao, well done!"
Zhao Canghai grinned.
Half an hour later.
Mikhail, the Bering external relations officer, furiously made a call to Great Xia, roaring with rage.
Great Xia’s external relations officer, Minister Zhang, listened with a smile, saying only: "Sorry, these matters are unrelated to Great Xia!"
Initially, when Great Xia Corporation entered Five Great Stan Countries to develop mineral resources, numerous hindrances from locals were encountered, with plenty of extortionate behavior.
Don’t think he doesn’t know Bering People were discreetly causing these troubles behind the scenes.
An hour later.
Great Xia Military’s vanguard appeared near several major cities within Jickistan, commencing the establishment of temporary camps and providing aid to local inhabitants.
Bering responded fiercely, demanding Great Xia immediately withdraw from Jickistan.
Great Xia ignored the demands, focused solely on deploying their troops into Jickistan.
What’s most interesting is, before the great floods, the Jick official leader visited Bering’s capital under the guise of a visit.
The Jick leader made public remarks, stating that the Bering Kingdom would aid the country, negating the need for Great Xia’s intervention.
Great Xia remained silent, directly releasing a substantial amount of video evidence.
For instance, after the Jike People sought assistance from Bering Kingdom, seventy-two hours passed without a single Jike rescued by Bering, nor did Bering provide even a grain of food.
Videos in the data also showed rescued disaster victims enjoying hot meals and residing in powered tents.
Some victims cursed at the camera, accusing the leader of fleeing before the crisis, hiding with family in Bering Kingdom, abandoning millions in the nation.
This truly was a large-scale face-smacking event.
Once the videos were released, the Jick leader remained silent, no longer daring to speak recklessly.
By the next day.
All of Jickistan had fallen completely under Great Xia’s control.
