The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

but.

While survivors around the world were still immersed in Long Yi's passionate declaration, "If the enemy can go, so can I," the atmosphere inside Longxia's supreme command headquarters was not as relaxed as outsiders imagined.

An hour later, in the makeshift operations conference room.

The enormous electronic sand table emitted a faint blue glow, illuminating the grim faces of the generals gathered around it. While morale was high, a problem still loomed before them.

"Sir, I have no objection to the grand strategy, and I wholeheartedly support launching an attack. But the logistics and endurance at the operational level... that's a major problem."

The speaker was the Army Commander, a rugged man with a full beard and deep-set eyes. He pointed to the bright red border line on the sand table, his brow furrowed: "Our current combat power, even those heroic troops that strike fear into the West, rely primarily on the national fortune buff bestowed by Comrade Su Yun. Whether it's 'unlimited mana' or 'rapid health regeneration,' the underlying logic for their effectiveness is 'territory is territory.'"

"Once we cross this line and leave the area covered by the Great Wall and the totem, we are just ordinary mortals. Facing those dungeon monsters that are easily A-rank or S-rank, the casualty ratio will probably be terrible. We can't afford to experience the tragic fate of Company Commander Zhao, who fought alone to the death."

These words brought a brief silence to the meeting room.

That's certainly true. Longxia's current dominance is largely built on its absolute advantage in playing on home soil. Once they're abroad, it's like playing away from home, a tree without roots.

"If this problem can't be solved, any expansion will be nothing more than sending our soldiers to their deaths," another staff officer added in a low voice. "During the previous evacuation operation, Comrade Su Yun briefly used some kind of shield skill. I wonder what will happen this time..."

then.

All eyes turned to the young man sitting in the corner.

Su Yun felt the attention of everyone and knew he would not disappoint.

He laughed and said, "In that case, I'll lend a hand."

Stand up and activate the [Connect Totem] first.

[Host's intention detected...]

[Skill "Link Totem" is being activated...]

[Judging in progress... The talent "Territory is Territory" has intervened.]

……

[Skill mutation complete.]

Blood Ties and Shared Hearts

[Description: Born as dragons, connected by blood. Every descendant of Yan and Huang is a moving national border. When one suffers hardship, 1.4 billion compatriots can feel it; when one faces death, the entire nation shares the burden.]

[Effect 1: Shared Responsibility. When any target identified as a "Fellow Citizen of Longxia" suffers damage, that damage will be instantly shared among all citizens.]

[Effect Two: Beacon. A "golden line of return home" will automatically form in the minds of all compatriots, connecting them directly to the nearest rescue force. In the rescuers' field of vision, compatriots will be visualized as a bright golden light.]

[Note: You are not fighting alone. Behind you stand 1.4 billion people.]

Instantly, a thin yet bright golden line extended from the heart of all the soldiers gathered at the border.

From then on, all the harm was shared.

Every Longxia soldier who goes abroad is not fighting alone. When he is wounded, 1.4 billion compatriots share his pain; when he loses his way, the heartbeats of 1.4 billion compatriots are his beacon for returning home.

But that wasn't all.

Su Yun continued, "Where the smoke of war rises, there lies the advance of our armies. Wherever our armies advance, even the most remote and desolate lands thousands of miles away become our conquered territory at this moment."

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking back into the skill panel of the National Guardian Shaman, looking at another skill—[Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke].

The original effect of the skill was to share vision with all friendly units and apply a shield and movement speed bonus to them.

And now...

[Host's intent detected... Unleashing the skill "Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke"...]

[Environment Assessment: Full-scale attack, territorial expansion.]

[The innate ability "territory is territory" has been forcibly intervened! Historical background is being searched...]

Keywords found: beacon tower, Great Wall watchtower, urgent dispatch, beacon smoke rising straight to the heavens...

[Concept reshaping in progress...]

The skill "Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke" has mutated to—

[War raged across the land of China]

[Description: Smoke rises, the land stretches northward. In ancient times, King You of Zhou played with the feudal lords by lighting beacon fires; today, the Great Wall guards the smoke signals that stabilize the world. This is not merely a signal; it is an extension of the nation's destiny, a declaration of sovereignty.]

[Effect 1: Full Map Vision. Every marked friendly unit (soldier/vehicle) automatically becomes a mobile "beacon tower." A crimson smoke, impossible to disperse by physical means, rises overhead, clearing the fog of war within a ten-mile radius, ignoring terrain and magnetic field interference. The entire army shares vision, and the command post can enjoy a god-like view of the battlefield.]

[Effect 2: Enclave Projection. The area shrouded by the smoke will be temporarily designated as the "Dragon Summer Enclave" by the system. All buffs that were originally only effective within the country (including but not limited to mana regeneration, life healing, and Candle Dragon's Lock) will be transmitted seamlessly to this area through the smoke channel.]

[Note: As long as you can see my smoke, you're in my service area. This is called full-map Wi-Fi, and it's gigabit fiber optic at that.]

Su Yun slowly opened her eyes and smiled slightly.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

He placed his hands on the edge of the sand table and softly commanded, "Light it!"

On the border, the three thousand golden-armored heroes, fully prepared for battle, along with the mechanized troops, suddenly felt a heat on their heads.

"call--!!"

Without warning, plumes of crimson smoke shot into the sky from the heads of every soldier and the roofs of every tank!

This smoke wasn't grayish-black exhaust fumes, but a translucent, crimson-gold mist. It rose straight upwards, unbent even by howling winds at high altitudes, like towering crimson-gold spears piercing the heavens.

"What is this? Is it on fire?" A young soldier frantically touched his helmet, only to find that the smoke had no heat. Instead, it cleared his mind and made his vision several times better.

He could even see a rat hiding in a sewer several kilometers away through layers of ruins!

"A miracle... another miracle from a top player!"

Zhao Tiezhu, being a hero, felt this most deeply. He had been somewhat worried about the instability of his soul after leaving his homeland, but at this moment, as the smoke rose, he felt as if he were still standing at the foot of the Great Wall, with a continuous stream of dragon vein energy flowing back into him through the smoke column above his head, filling his body with inexhaustible energy.

"This isn't a signal fire; it's like carrying a water fountain around with you!"

In the command center, the electronic sand table, which originally only had the domestic topographic map lit up, was suddenly illuminated by a large area of ​​darkness around it, reflecting the movement intentions of the troops.

Countless red dots connected, tearing the fog of war to shreds.

Looking at the clearly visible real-time footage on the screen, Long Yi could even see a den of demon wolves devouring a carcass hundreds of kilometers outside the border.

This one-way transparent battlefield awareness, coupled with the remote delivery of home base buffs... if we still lose this battle, then the commander might as well just find a block of tofu and kill himself.

"Excellent! Excellent is this land engulfed in flames of war! Excellent is this vast land of China!"

Long Yi slammed his fist on the table, his confidence rising: "With this system, let alone Southeast Asia, even if we fight all the way to Antarctica, we'll be fighting on home ground!"

He grabbed the communicator and issued orders to the entire army:

"All troops, attack! Rescue our fellow human beings!"

Rumbling--

The roar of the steel torrent, mixed with the deep battle cries of the heroic warriors, shattered the gloom outside.

Countless streaks of crimson-gold smoke converged into a giant dragon rolling forward, sweeping across the border and pressing towards the world filled with despair and chaos.
