The gates of Huaxia City's Tianlong Ranking opened once again. Luo X had long been prepared on this side, two million troops marching into the National War zone!
Huaxia's military force surged to 4.4 million!
Xuanyuan Zhen immediately reorganized Huaxia's army.
Now, Huaxia's forces were growing stronger by the moment. The mighty soul of Huaxia provided the strongest buff in the world. Most importantly, the morale of Huaxia's army was sky-high—every soldier holding back a powerful urge.
Standing on a massive boulder, Xuanyuan Zhen shouted loudly, "Four nations' wheel battle couldn't defeat us! I'll ask now—across the global National War, who can still match my Huaxia?"
"Before, they took advantage of us having no national soul, attacked us in turns, and tried to destroy Huaxia. But now, our forces are full, and the strongest national soul has descended!"
"It's time to launch a counterattack against our old enemies!"
"Brothers and sisters, Huaxia will prevail!"
Millions roared in response, the sound shaking the valleys.
The first target of Huaxia's advance was none other than H Country, the closest to Huaxia.
Three million Huaxia troops pressed at the border, and H Country panicked.
H Country had two million troops that had just returned from F Country. In the flag battles, they had already lost over a hundred thousand men, and the rest were drained. They had also lost more than three hundred thousand in the battle against Huaxia, plus further attrition from recent skirmishes with surrounding nations. Their total force now was only four million.
Compared to Huaxia in peak condition, they were at an absolute disadvantage.
What's more, Huaxia was no longer the Huaxia of the past. Every soldier had an additional +16% to basic stats, +16% crit. Just the national soul alone was enough to make enemies tremble.
Even more important—this attack of Huaxia was driven by revenge!
When the horn of charge blew, Huaxia's army surged like a tidal wave toward H Country's troops!
Among them, Jiang Kai and the Fire God Squad took the very front.
Hu Yan's Rain Prayer combined with freezing disrupted a huge area of enemy forces. Paired with Jiang Kai's Quenched Fire Chasing Life, H Country truly felt the "twofold torment of ice and fire."
Zhao Tiequan's strength was formidable in itself, but within the team he sacrificed his offensive specialty, focusing instead on his strongest trait—defense—to assist Ouyang Yi.
Ouyang Yi's attacks were lethal, with a weakness-targeting effect. Though as a non-top-tier Judge his dodge and defense were not outstanding, Zhao Tiequan perfectly covered his shortcomings, letting him push his offense to the extreme.
As for Ruan Yu—he just played around by himself… yet whenever he was about to "land the kill," the target would be finished off by Ouyang Yi.
"Ouyang, you killed my true love!"
Ouyang Yi had a full head of black lines. This was Jiang Kai's task assignment, what could he do?
"Ruan ghost, don't you think that one over there looks prettier? Look, he's faintly glowing—might even be electric-powered!"
Ruan Yu looked at a terrified man not far away. The man seemed to be carrying a regional flag, his body faintly glowing.
Ruan Yu frowned, thought for a moment, "Hm? Really charged with electricity… must be exciting!"
"Beauty, don't be shy, big brother likes your kind of wildness the most!"
That man's eyes went wide, both shocked and terrified, "That damn pervert… someone stop him!"
Zhao Tiequan quickly said to Ouyang Yi, "Go after that guy! Kai said, Ruan doesn't care about fighting normally, but if he wins he must be controlled, otherwise he'll really go through with it!"
Ouyang Yi muttered, "Go through with it… scary strong! Got it, Old Zhao, let's go!"
The Fire God Squad, like a sharp spear, stabbed straight into H Country's heart.
The rest of Huaxia's army followed close behind, annihilating the enemy's main forces.
After four hours of bloody battle, Jiang Kai captured H Country's national flag, Ruan Yu took a regional flag, and Xuanyuan Zhen led troops to seize another.
H Country was utterly annihilated by Huaxia.
Of course, H Country's resistance was deadly as well—Huaxia lost 1.2 million troops before finally claiming victory.
Though Huaxia's losses were great, after securing one national flag and two regional flags, they replenished three million more troops, bringing the total to 6.2 million!
After defeating H Country, Huaxia returned to rest within its territory. One day later, they launched a full-scale attack on the Island Nation.
The Island Nation was stronger than H Country, with powerful masters of ninjutsu and swordsmanship. Huaxia shifted tactics, splitting its army into three routes, launching simultaneous offensives from three directions.
Strategically, they no longer rushed to crush the enemy swiftly, but instead constantly whittled down their numbers.
The Island Nation had 3.8 million troops remaining. In the F Country chaos, Jiang Kai's disguise as Island forces had drawn a siege upon them, causing heavier losses than H Country.
Now, facing Huaxia's 5 million troops pressing in, their defense was stretched thin. With Huaxia adopting an attrition strategy, they had no strength to break out, forced to watch their numbers dwindle.
"You Huaxia are despicable!" shouted the Island commander Nagasawa Kuroo at Xuanyuan Zhen, "If you have guts, fight us in a decisive duel!"
Xuanyuan Zhen sneered coldly, "Funny—you didn't scream back when it was two against one. Now that you're the ones beaten, suddenly you want a duel?"
Nagasawa Kuroo was in a panic.
In fact, they had already weakened Huaxia before, then attacked J Country to the east, weakening them as well.
According to the plan, if everything went smoothly, they had a chance to take down both nations.
But now, Huaxia's strength had suddenly skyrocketed. And worse, they had surrounded them, leaving no way to strike out.
Unable to seize other nations' flags, their forces couldn't be replenished. Instead, they were continuously drained by Huaxia. The outcome was already clear.
"Damn it! If not for M Country and F Country at their back, we could have devoured Huaxia in one go. How could they have had a chance to rise again?"
"Truly unpredictable—Huaxia's downfall came from four nations attacking, but their turning point also came from those very four consecutive attacks…"
After seven days of "war of attrition," the Island Nation was finally devoured by Huaxia, handing over three flags.
This time, in the Island siege, Huaxia lost 800,000 troops. But after claiming three flags, they replenished three million, raising their total to eight million!
With the Island Nation's national flag seized, Huaxia now held three national flags.
At this moment, the system's voice rang out:
[Huaxia has become the first nation to successfully seize three national flags. National War rewards announced as follows.]
[Huaxia will draw one main city area from the defeated nation's Ghost Star territory, and gain a piece of land equal in size to that area (upon acquiring the land, there is no need to defeat the guardian lord—the beasts of that area will leave on their own). The defeated nation will lose an equal portion of territory (once lost, the main city vanishes, the guardian lord will lead a beast tide to reoccupy the area).]
[Huaxia can open a one-way login gate into the defeated nation. This gate can be used once a year, with up to ten people each time.]
[The defeated nation must pay tribute every year to the victorious nation, filling a "tribute chest." If they fail, beast tides will erupt within the defeated nation until the next National War.]
[Huaxia can choose to replace its defeated nation target by seizing another national flag, or end this National War here.]
This news seemed to be a global announcement—people from other countries received it too.
The international forum immediately exploded.
"Damn, Huaxia just got three brand-new territories for free!"
"They have to pay tribute every year? How much stuff does that tribute chest need filled with?"
"Wait, that one-way login gate seems pretty useless, right? Only once a year, ten people at a time—does that really help?"
"You don't get it—territory loss and tribute are small matters, the real key is the one-way login gate! Do you realize what this means? From now on, Huaxia has the chance to acquire all the professions of the other three defeated nations!"
