I can find treasures in my dreams.

Azure Star.

Azik Union.

Zhuang Jun and his girlfriend Ge Na spent more than a day together, easing the tension caused by their recent battles.

The two then parted ways.

At the time of parting.

Gona hugged Zhuang Jun tightly and, in front of many people, kissed her boyfriend's face repeatedly without any restraint before letting go and getting into a Blue Eagle.

Zhuang Jun watched the Azure Eagle soar into the sky, activate its optical cloaking, and disappear from sight. He let out a sigh of regret.

Whether it was a passionate affair or feelings that grew over time, he tried to persuade his girlfriend to stay more than once, but Gona had her own principles.

This girl would rather return to the army and continue to devote herself to the great battle against the Gamenesian invasion.

Beside.

A lieutenant colonel on the shoulder, named Zhang Mingxuan, remarked softly, "The Azik rebels have nearly 15% female soldiers, and the proportion is still rising. This is truly a strange country."

Zhuang Jun gave a somewhat absent-minded "hmm".

Since the Great Xia intervened in this war, it has trained a total of more than 500,000 troops for the Aztecs.

Without the help of Great Xia, the Azik Alliance would have collapsed completely within a month at most, and the battlefield situation would not have become so tense.

This lieutenant colonel was in charge of a training base for Aztecs, so he was very familiar with the situation.

Zhang Mingxuan seemed quite interested in chatting: "Azik men are generally rather undisciplined. Although they are not lacking in fighting spirit, they lack discipline."

“Azik women are more resilient and more willing to obey orders, and I think they are more suited to be soldiers.”

Zhuang Jun understood the implied meaning and couldn't help but ask, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhang Mingxuan chuckled and bluntly stated, "After so long of war, the Azik people are already showing signs of war-weariness."

“By publicizing the bravery and fighting prowess of Azik women, we can in turn motivate Azik men to go to the battlefield. After all, if the women are going, how can the men have the face to hide in the back?”
"Doing this will increase manpower and allow the Azik people to hold out longer, while also greatly depleting the strength of the Gameni Federation."

"On the other hand, it helps control the Azik male population because it is too difficult to assimilate Azik men."

"The Azik Alliance had 1.3 million people before the Age of Calamity, and now there are only about 1 million left. It is more in the interest of Great Xia to have fewer of them."

"Whether it's North Jingzhou or South Jingzhou, we don't want too many countries with populations exceeding 100 million to appear here."

Having said all that, Zhuang Jun understood what the other party meant.

He sighed, "So, Gona has to go to the battlefield, right?"

Zhang Mingxuan put it more tactfully: "Colonel Zhuang, Miss Gona is one of the key figures we are promoting. She stepped forward to fight for the country, which has a huge impact on inspiring the Aztecs."

"For the same reason, the higher-ups will definitely take good care of Miss Gona and ensure that she doesn't encounter any great danger, so you don't need to worry too much."

Zhuang Jun pursed his lips.

Where is there no danger on the battlefield? How can you tell me not to worry?
Even with special care, there's still a significant chance of dying in battle!

Zhang Mingxuan immediately added a nice remark: "From another perspective, you and your girlfriend are actually fighting for the future of Great Xia, and your actions deserve everyone's respect."

Zhuang Jun waved his hand: "Alright, I understand. Don't flatter me. I will not try to persuade Ge Na to leave the battlefield again."

Zhang Mingxuan cleverly changed the subject: "Colonel Zhuang, you have been appointed by your superiors as the controller of the thirteenth eye of the 'Jun Tian Ling Bao Eye'. I estimate that someone will be coming to pick you up soon."

The "Juntian Lingbao Eye" mentioned in this sentence is one of the major civilization projects that the Great Xia Dynasty is currently building with all its might.

Zhuang Jun nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Someone just contacted me, they'll be here in ten minutes."

Zhang Mingxuan inquired curiously, "What exactly is the function of the Juntian Spiritual Treasure Eye?"

Zhuang Jun didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question: "Have you ever seen a science fiction movie where a disabled person has a powerful ability to connect with everyone in the world through their thoughts?"

Zhang Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then gasped: "Holy crap! The Heavenly Spiritual Eye is that powerful?!"

Zhuang Jun added, "It's said that the effects of this thing are far more powerful than any movie screenwriter's ability to make things up."

Zhang Mingxuan couldn't help but exclaim, "It feels like the real world is becoming more and more like a science fiction movie."

The lieutenant colonel then asked, "The Raven Lord established this branch eye in the Azik Alliance, presumably to deal with the Gamenese to the north, right?"

Zhuang Jun corrected him slightly: "The Gameni are not worth the Great Xia building a civilization project in Azik. This eye is to deal with demons. Now there are more and more Gameni in the north who are voluntarily transforming into demons."

Zhang Mingxuan was quite surprised: "Aren't the Gameni people getting more and more perverted? Why would they choose to be demons instead of being decent human beings?"

Zhuang Jun did not explain, but only vaguely agreed, "Yes."

In fact, he knew the reason.

For the Gameni people, once they truly understand the terrifying strength of the Blue Sheep Demon Clan, it's hard not to feel pessimistic and desperate about the future.

Given the choice between "joining the demon race" and "becoming a blood sacrifice," choosing the former is perfectly normal, since nobody wants to die.

ten minutes later.

A newly improved Azure Eagle, currently designated as the D-type, landed on the base's helipad.

Compared to the widely used Type C, the Type D Azure Eagle has a more streamlined shape.

It also uses higher-performance lightweight materials, reducing the weight of the fuselage by 5% while increasing the payload from 48 tons to 52 tons.

In addition, the new model is equipped with more advanced airflow manipulators and a silent force field generator. The former enables a maximum flight speed of 1100 kilometers per hour, almost reaching the subsonic limit, which is slightly faster than commercial airliners.

The latter can create a silent force field that can absorb the vibrations of the helicopter. Once the force field is activated, you can't hear a sound even if you stand ten meters away, which greatly improves stealth.

Zhuang Jun boarded the Azure Eagle, and the helicopter quickly took off, entering stealth and silent mode, heading straight towards the southwest.

So far, as the war intensifies and the situation remains tense, the number of deaths is increasing day by day.

The majority of the Azik people who lived in the north migrated to the south, leaving large areas of the north uninhabited.

Many southerners, out of fear of war, fled Azik with their families and moved to Nanjingzhou.

Great Xia and the Azik Union signed several agreements to designate parts of the no-man's-land as military-controlled zones.

The thirteenth eye of the Juntian Lingbao Eye is located inside a mountain range within the controlled area.

More than half an hour later.

A blue eagle soars over the mountains.

This is the Mare Mountains, which run from southeast to northwest and extend all the way to the border of Gamania.

During the great global flood, this mountain range became the source of the floodwaters.

The massive melting of ice and snow created raging torrents that flooded all the towns surrounding the mountains, resulting in the deaths of millions of Aztecs.

Today, the area around the mountains is desolate; from a helicopter, it can be described as "a hundred miles without a human presence."

Zhuang Jun gazed at an abandoned town in the distance, feeling a pang of emotion.

Only by going abroad, seeing things with your own eyes, and having enough comparisons can you know how much the Great Xia has done.

The Great Xia also has cities located in mountainous areas, the most typical being Chongshan City. The urban cluster centered on Chongshan City currently has a population of over 6000 million.

However, during the great flood, the Xia people completely tamed the floodwaters near Chongshan City, and there were no casualties caused by the flood. They also took the opportunity to build several large reservoirs.

soon.

The Azure Eagle rapidly descended and flew into a canyon.

Due to the terrain, the wind in the canyon is extremely strong.

Before the era of natural disasters, helicopters would crash 100% of the time if they entered a canyon.

However, the Azure Eagle is equipped with an airflow control system, so even the strongest winds cannot cause the fuselage to shake.

The helicopter flew several kilometers along the canyon, approached a steep cliff, and crashed directly into it.

Zhuang Jun was startled and almost cried out.

The pilot in front called out in time, "We'll be there soon."

Zhuang Jun was stunned for a moment, then focused his senses and immediately realized: "Could what's ahead be a real illusion?"

Because to the naked eye, the cliffs and precipices are not an illusion, and to the mind, they do not appear to be virtual objects either.

But he sensed something strange and discordant; the cliff seemed slightly disconnected from its surroundings.

Therefore, there is only one answer—this is a realistic fantasy with some elements of reality.

The pilot laughed: "Colonel Zhuang has a good eye. He truly deserves to be called the first disciple of the Ghost."

Zhuang Jun suddenly shared the same sentiment as Zhang Mingxuan: "This world is becoming more and more like science fiction."

The pilot explained, "The real illusion device here uses some rare materials that Mr. Ghost brought back from the Xuanjia World, so its realism is exceptionally strong."

Zhuang Jun said "Oh," and then added, "No wonder."

He had seen some real illusions, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so realistic; he had almost been fooled just now.

One second later.

The Azure Eagle crashed into the cliff.

There was no impact; it simply passed right through.

Zhuang Jun only felt a blur before his eyes, the cliff disappeared, and a brightly lit hangar appeared in front of him.

The height exceeds fifty meters, and the area is no less than three thousand square meters.

The sudden change gave him a sense of "a new vista opening up after a long and winding road".

Zhuang Jun naturally understood that the illusion device here was to protect the base and the Juntian Lingbao Eye split within it.

The Azure Eagle decelerated rapidly and slowly landed on the helipad.

Zhuang Jun suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, were the materials used to build the Juntian Spiritual Treasure Eye also from the Xuanjia World?"

The pilot laughed and said, "Yes! You guessed absolutely right!"

Zhuang Jun nodded slightly.

He knew that the big boss had acquired a huge amount of resources in the Xuanjia World, and now it seemed that these resources were beginning to gradually transform into the national strength of the Great Xia.

The more information one learns, the more one realizes the immense contributions Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven have made to the Great Xia Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
