Chapter 206 Military Bombing of Its Own Sunset Empire

"Now that we've dealt with the external issues, it's time to settle accounts with the internal traitors!"

Lin Xia's gaze was like a tangible beam of light, piercing straight at Zhou Wuyang, who stood dumbfounded on the city wall.

The instant their eyes met, Zhou Wuyang felt a chilling coldness shoot straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it difficult to even breathe.

This usually imposing commander of the Eastern Frontier was now trembling uncontrollably, and the back of his uniform was already soaked with cold sweat.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but under the suppression of the domain's power, he couldn't even open his mouth.

But in front of a top expert who could easily fight a ninth-level expert, all his pleas for mercy and all his reliance were nothing but a joke!
"Zhou Wuyang, you betrayed your country for personal gain!"

Lin Xia's voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder throughout the entire Eastern Fortress.

"You are unworthy to be the commander of the Eastern Frontier!"

As soon as the second sentence was uttered, the military medals on Zhou Wuyang's chest, which symbolized his honor, suddenly burst open and turned into dust, scattering in the wind.

"The Zhou family of the capital city has no reason to exist anymore!"

The final verdict was like the scythe of death; before the words were even finished, golden flames inexplicably ignited on Zhou Wuyang's body.

The flames appeared gentle, yet they contained a terrifying power capable of burning even a ninth-level expert to ashes.

Dealing with Zhou Wuyang, an eighth-level professional, is like using a planet-destroying cannon to kill a mosquito.

"what--!!!"

The piercing screams echoed through the sky, and the torment of the soul brought by the gentle flames was unbearable even for Zhou Wuyang, a commander who had undergone torture training.

This is also why Lin Xia didn't immediately turn it into ashes and completely disappear.

Letting such a traitor die like this is far too lenient on the enemy.

And so, under the watchful eyes of all the Eastern Border soldiers, Zhou Wuyang's skin charred and peeled off at a visible speed, revealing the bright red muscle tissue beneath, before turning to ashes in an instant.

This once-powerful commander of the Eastern Frontier was now like an ant being repeatedly tormented in a steel furnace, suffering the most horrific tortures in the world amidst his agonizing cries.

The soldiers guarding the city wall witnessed this scene and were all terrified.

Some officers with close ties to the Zhou family turned pale, fearing they would be next.

Lin Xia coldly glanced around, then contacted the Red Heart Society headquarters via telepathic communication: "Deng Qi, bring men over immediately to take over the eastern border defense line."

Although Deng Qi's strength is not top-notch now, in the past, letting an average professional take over a strategic location like the Eastern Border Defense Line would inevitably cause a mutiny in the army.

After all, in this extraordinary world where strength reigns supreme, without sufficient military might to intimidate, even the most outstanding command skills will struggle to win over the masses.

But things are different now. With Lin Xia's ruthless methods on the eastern border defense line, who on the eastern border would dare to oppose the Red Heart Society's decision?
At this moment!

This opposition wasn't directed at the Red Heart Society, but at Lin Xia, a ninth-level powerhouse!
Of course, to prevent some people from resorting to desperate measures, Lin Xia activated the Insect Queen Battle Suit and summoned two Insect Guardians with fifty percent of his combat power.

Even with only half of his attributes, the Zerg Guardian could still easily slaughter anyone on the Eastern Front.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will never let you down."

Deng Qi stepped out of the spatial teleportation array. He knew the significance of his visit to the Eastern Border Defense Line before he even arrived.

For someone like him, a trans-dimensional being with a complete experience of time and space, organizing this Eastern Border defense line that he was very familiar with was an easy task.

After all, he had experienced far more cruel and dark things, and compared to these, taking over the eastern border defense line was child's play.

Time flies like an arrow; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Red Heart Society's growth rate over the past month has been nothing short of terrifying.

Having completed its basic infrastructure, the Red Heart Alliance is already taking shape. According to Lin Xia's plan, with the Red Heart Society's massive resources, the Red Heart Alliance will be able to complete its transformation in the shortest possible time.

Secondly, through its extensive network of branches, the Red Heart Society rapidly extended its various pro-people policies to every province.

These policies include, but are not limited to: a national awakening plan, a basic spiritual resource allocation system, a professional training program, and a social welfare system.

Every policy was like a heavy punch, striking the very lifeblood of the old aristocratic families.

Meanwhile, the preparations for the establishment of the Red Heart Army and the Demon Suppression Alliance are also in full swing.

The Demon Suppression Alliance will become a powerful force in the second tier of the Red Heart Society in the future.

The Red Heart Society will serve as a reserve force for the Demon Suppression Alliance and the Guardian Alliance, providing a continuous stream of powerful troops for these two strong combinations that conquer the abyss and punish hell.

The once restless aristocratic families, after their awe-inspiring performance at the Eastern Border Defense Line, have all become surprisingly quiet.

These once arrogant and domineering local tyrants are now as docile as rabbits, meticulously implementing all the policies promulgated by the Red Heart Society.

Even though these policies clearly harmed their vested interests, they did not resist in the slightest.

The reason is simple: life versus profit—even a fool would choose the former. The Red Heart Society can wipe out top-tier families like the Qin and Zhou families without hesitation, and they dared to slaughter the million-strong border army of the Sunset Empire. Dealing with these second- or third-rate families would be as easy as crushing ants.
The former federal government might have been wary of the deep-rooted connections between powerful families, but the Red Heart Society clearly doesn't buy into that.

Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile!
Under such circumstances, the Red Heart Society devoted almost all its energy to military and economic development.

After ordinary people truly experienced the benefits brought by the Chixin Society's policies, their enthusiasm for participating in the Chixin Society soared to unprecedented heights.

Everything seemed to be moving in the best possible direction.

However, just when things were looking so promising, something unexpected happened.

When Deng Qi publicly announced at the oath-taking ceremony on the Eastern Frontier that he would lead the Eastern Frontier army to continue eastward, the Sunset Empire made a crazy move that shocked the whole world.

Their emperor personally ordered the launch of a forbidden weapon into the world!
Under normal circumstances, matters involving taboo military weapons would cause a lot of wrangling and disputes in any country or power.

Even the most efficient organization cannot make decisions on a whim when faced with such a situation.

The administrative efficiency and frequency of disputes between the various empires reached an extremely exaggerated level.

But this time, not long after the Sunset Empire issued its statement, that forbidden weapon tore through the air and landed in the heart of the border province.

According to calculations by the Sunset Empire's analysis department, the aftershocks of the explosion from the Forbidden Military Force would remain within the Sunset Empire's territory and would not spread to the Red Heart Society's Eastern Province.

They are now in a completely disadvantaged position, and under no circumstances can they give the Red Heart Society any reason to take advantage of the situation.

"boom--!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosions, a massive mushroom cloud rose slowly over the border of the Sunset Empire.

The terrifying shockwave swept across hundreds of miles, turning towns into ruins and farmland into scorched earth. Millions of civilians were wiped out before they could even scream.

Even more terrifying is that the forbidden power generated by the explosion of the forbidden weapon began to spread across this land.

This energy, which has strong radioactive properties, can erode all living organisms.

Ordinary people will die from organ failure in a very short time after contact with it, and even low-level professionals will gradually undergo mutations under the influence of the forbidden power.

"Crazy! Completely crazy!"

When high-ranking officials from around the world received this news, their first reaction was disbelief.

Since ancient times, military weapons have been used to deal with enemies. What country would use forbidden military weapons to bomb its own territory?

And they even slaughtered their own people?
But Lin Xue saw through the Sunset Emperor's thoughts at a glance: "He wants to use forbidden power to create a death zone as a buffer between the Sunset Empire and the Red Heart Society."

Lin Xuena was quite familiar with the monstrous Sunset Empire.

This judgment was quickly confirmed.

Three days after the explosion of the forbidden weapon, the Sunset Empire issued an official statement claiming that it was to "prevent the Red Heart Society's aggression and expansion" and that it was "a self-defense measure that had to be taken out of necessity."

"It seems that the Sunset Empire has no limit to how insane it can get."

Lin Xia looked at the report in her hand and shook her head slightly.

He found the 25,000 Fate Points he received last time rather strange.

After all, the population of the Sunset Empire is only a fraction of that of the Federation.

Its territory is only one-tenth the size of the Federation.

The acquisition of Fate Points is related to the living beings affected and the area of ​​influence.

He had some doubts before.

just now!

He understood completely!
It is estimated that a large part of the fate of these 25,000 was orchestrated by the Sunset Emperor.

After all, launching forbidden weapons without encountering a fatal crisis or evacuating the people in advance is something no ruler with a normal mind would do.

This self-destructive defensive method is unprecedented in human history.

"Every time Chixin puts himself in a little pressure, the Sunset Empire always manages to do one thing or another."

The old principal sighed softly, "I really don't know how this monstrous country has survived until now?"

Just as everyone was sighing with emotion, the White Eagle Emperor sent an analysis report to Lin Xia's private communication device.

Based on information gathered by military advisors of the White Eagle Empire, the White Eagle Empire's think tank compiled it into a secret report.

If the Red Heart Society takes more radical retaliatory actions, the Sunset Empire may very well drag the entire world down with it.

This insane country resorts to such self-destructive tactics even before facing dire straits.

[If caught in a perilous situation, one might well entertain the wicked thought of dragging the whole world down with them, or bombing the entire world with forbidden weapons.]
