The King of Special Warfare Chapter 371 - Who Dared to Die

At nine o’clock.

The maneuver officially began.

Zhuang Huayang, the president of the Sky Academy, and Chen Songlin, the president of the Deep-sea Academy, performed opening remarks on behalf of the two academies.

Zhuang Huayang wore a suit, held a microphone in his hand, smiled peacefully, but with anxiety in his eyes.

He looked at Dongcheng Wudi, took a deep breath, and slowly said, “Everyone, first let’s welcome…”

“Boom!”

The opening statement of the maneuver was completely interrupted after just a few words.

The huge roar sounded almost without warning, deafening and earth-shattering!

A cannonball burning with black smoke and towing fire waves rose into the air under everyone’s surprised eyes, and finally smashed into a teaching building of the Sky Academy.

The ancient but extremely st.u.r.dy teaching building shook violently in the bombardment of the cannonball. Countless gla.s.s became fragments, and the entire building collapsed in a loud noise with sky-high smoke and dust.

This shot was enough to ill.u.s.trate an issue.

The sh.e.l.l that smashed the entire teaching building was live ammunition!

If this abrupt shot fell on the stand, the consequence was simply unthinkable.

Countless people turned their heads subconsciously and looked around.

“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”

Sitting behind Dongcheng Wudi, Ye Fengcheng, the director of Huating Special Operations Bureau, suddenly stood up.

In his sight, an endless line suddenly appeared on each road to the Sky Academy!

The army in camouflage clothing seemed to be endlessly pouring into the Sky Academy.

They were silent.

They firmly headed towards the training ground of the Sky Academy.

Ye Fengcheng felt dazzled by the scene in front. For a moment, he could not make sure how many people were in this army.

Ten thousand?

Twenty thousand?

Or thirty thousand?

The dense army occupied every corner of the Sky Academy.

Ye Fengcheng suddenly rose into the sky, stood high, and looked out of the Sky Academy.

“Boom!”

Another violent roar sounded.

The smoky sh.e.l.l smashed into the Sky Academy again. This time it fell near the training ground.

The crowd was in complete turmoil.

Ye Fengcheng, who stood high, also thoroughly saw the other side of the river.

In his sight, countless armored vehicles and tanks were neatly arranged on the riverfront, and countless gun barrels were all aimed at the Sky Academy.

On the other side of the river, soldiers got out of the vehicles and rushed into the Sky Academy along the bridge and highway, numerous and mighty.

Ye Fengcheng’s heart sank completely. He was known as a madman, but at this moment, his whole body was cold.

Countless soldiers began to rush in the training ground.

All were heavily armed and with real ammunition.

More and more soldiers rushed into the training ground.

One row, one area, one array.

The army array was slowly moving forward, increasing in size, but the formation was not chaotic but strict and tidy.

Gu Xingyun was stunned at this scene.

At this moment, because of his injury, he was in the weakest stage of his life. Weakness could naturally affect his mentality. At this time, he saw more and more army arrays in front of him. He became speechless for a long time.

The Sky Academy finally responded.

The big screen that was playing the video of the maneuver area was switched directly and showed the scene of the entire Sky Academy.

In an instant, everyone saw the scene inside and outside the Sky Academy.

Army.

Weapons.

Except for the army, all were weapons!

There were more and more armored vehicles and tanks lined up by the river. Some soldiers even set up rocket launchers nearby. There seemed to be no end to the growing number of soldiers. Like tides and billows, they were rus.h.i.+ng into the Sky Academy without stopping.

A large number of people began to gather at the training ground.

A small number of elites occupied the a.r.s.enal of the Sky Academy as soon as possible.

Those students who guarded the a.r.s.enal were naturally masters. However, facing such a large number of Zhongzhou State troops, they simply could not react at all. They were directly overwhelmed by the rus.h.i.+ng army when they were hesitating to strike.

The a.r.s.enal was out of control completely.

So more main battle tanks and armored vehicles than those on the other side of the river rushed out of the a.r.s.enal and went on the rampage in the Sky Academy.

A buzzing sound rang inside the base of the Sky Academy.

An armed helicopter appeared at a low alt.i.tude, flying slowly.

More advanced fighter jets rushed into the sky and spun high.

Some professionals entered the missile centre.

In less than ten minutes, the control of the launchable missiles in the Sky Academy had fallen into their hands.

“Boom!”

A third cannon sounded in the Sky Academy.

The sh.e.l.l pa.s.sed through the Sky Academy’s training ground and fell straight into the villa in the center of the academy.

That was where Zhuang Huayang lived and worked.

The entire villa burst completely in an instant, in a mess. The stones were flying everywhere, and the surrounding flowers and rivers were completely gone.

Zhuang Huayang did not panic or angry.

He held the microphone, with only amazement and a forced smile on his face.

Except for him, most of the people present were in a huge panic and solemn.

“This is the latest armor-piercing sh.e.l.l developed by the Dongcheng Clan. It has recently served in Zhongzhou State for less than three months. It is preferentially a.s.signed to the Border Control Corps. Its codename is Wolf Smoke. It has an explosive power about five times the normal one and an explosive scope about three times the normal one. It takes less than two hundred Wolf Smoke Sh.e.l.ls to easily destroy the entire Sky Academy. Tianzong, what do you think?”

In a panic, Dongcheng Wudi’s voice sounded at a normal speed.

He asked w.a.n.g Tianzong instead of Gu Xingyun.

Suddenly, w.a.n.g Tianzong did not respond, but everyone who heard the words nearby looked at Dongcheng Wudi inconceivably.

Countless troops a.s.sembled under the stand and almost filled the entire training ground.

As far as the eye could see, there were all densely packed troops without borders.

Dongcheng Wudi looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong quietly.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s expression was still dull, but he nodded and said, “Not bad.”

“I think it’s not bad.”

Dongcheng Wudi smiled and stood up directly in the front row.

Four powerful generals stood in front of the square array under the stand.

When Dongcheng Wudi stood up, the four stood straight and saluted him at the same time.

Their eyes were so fanatical.

They shouted themselves hoa.r.s.e.

“Li Zonghu from the Blood Battalion of the Border Control Corps pays respects to the marshal!”

“Sun Mengran from the Pegasus of the Border Control Corps pays respects to the marshal!”

“Wu Junyu from the Black Dragon of the Border Control Corps pays respects to the marshal!”

“Guan Zhengjie from the Wild Sand of the Border Control Corps pays respects to the marshal!”

Their voices were high and loud, as if they were roaring from their souls.

Almost everyone here had heard their names.

They might not be as famous as the four famous generals of Dongcheng Wudi, but in their respective legions, they were all well-deserved backbone generals!

Dongcheng Wudi looked at them silently.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand to salute them.

Suddenly, the army of thousands or tens of thousands of people raised their hands and saluted him at the same time!

This was an indescribable force.

Tens of thousands of people raised their hands at the same time. There seemed to be a storm all over the training ground.

The air was suffocating.

Only tens of thousands of soldiers raised their hands and looked at their marshal with frantic looks.

“Dongcheng Wudi!”

Gu Xingyun finally reacted. His face turned red in a moment, even a little purple.

No matter what all this meant today, Dongcheng Wudi’s deployment of troops into the Sky Academy and the destruction of the maneuver of the Special Warfare System were tantamount to going against Gu Xingyun.

His face completely twisted for a moment. He stood up with all of his strength and stretched out his finger, pointing at Dongcheng Wudi. “What do you want to do?! You deployed the elites of the Border Control Corps privately. Are you crazy?! Do you know what you are doing?”

“I do not know.”

Dongcheng Wudi turned slowly, with a touch of mock in his eyes. “But I know what I want to do.”

He stood on the stage with a calm expression, but his voice shook the sky and echoed throughout the training ground. “I don’t care what s.h.i.+t rules you have. Today, I am here and my army is here. I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I don’t want anyone to hurt the person I care about. The maneuver can continue, but Tianlan must be alive. Today, I put my words here. I’ll kill whoever dares to hurt Tianlan!”

He glanced at Gu Xingyun, w.a.n.g Tianzong, and even Gu Hanshan and w.a.n.g Shengxiao below.

Gu Xingyun shuddered in anger. “You… you want to commit treason! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you want to commit treason with the Border Control Corps?!”

He suddenly looked at the array below the stand and yelled angrily. “Are you going to betray Zhongzhou State with this lunatic?”

“Betray Zhongzhou State?!”

Dongcheng Wudi’s voice suddenly rose. He suddenly reached out and pulled his clothes. All the medals flew directly to the sky.

He reached out one finger, and his sword intent surged. A medal lighted suddenly in the faint blue lightning.

“National Medal of Honor. Twenty years ago, the Li family changed drastically. Heng State and Annan State joined forces to invade Zhongzhou State. Li Kuangtu died. The 120,000 troops of the Border Control Corps were almost wiped out. In that battle, I took the Border Control Corps of six thousand people to kill 10,000 Super Master Troops of Annan State and three large Mercenary Groups. My six thousand people and more than 20 wounds on my body were in exchange for this medal!”

His finger pointed again, and another medal lit up.

“Nineteen years ago, an important member of Zhongzhou State who had a close relations.h.i.+p with Kunlun City fled to Heng State. I personally led a team and went straight into Heng State’s territory for 800 miles. I finally completed the decapitation task. In that battle, more than 1,500 people of the Thunderbolt Battalion died. I was in a coma for three months. All was in exchange for this Medal of Courage.”

“Fifteen years ago, Night Spirit invaded Zhongzhou State. I personally took my men and dragged Divine Spirit, the Invincible Realm master of Night Spirit, to a town of Nanyun. In the end, he got killed by the Human Emperor with one stroke. During the war, the 800 soldiers of the Border Control Corps became martyrs, and became the Blood Medal.”

“Ten years ago, the route of the Rand Group lurking in Snow Country back to Zhongzhou State was exposed. The Black Dragon Battalion sacrificed two divisions overnight and successfully ensured the return of the Rand Group. The former Commander of the Black Dragon Battalion and my brother, Lin Yue, sacrificed in order to cover me. His body hasn’t been found yet. So this is why I have the Medal of Fort.i.tude.”

“Three years ago, the five major forces joined Annan State to invade the border. More than half of the soldiers in the Thunderbolt Battalion died. The Blood Battalion lost more than 8,000 people. The Border Control Corps collectively won the first prize. The President himself awarded me the Red Star Medal!”

Dongcheng Wudi’s voice continued to rise, reverberating on the training ground, like thunder.

“For my 22 medals, each of them was exchanged with the lives of soldiers in the Border Control Corps. I have been in control of the Border Control Corps for more than 20 years. I have experienced 36 wars and killed more than 100,000 enemies. What have I gained? I’ve gained hundreds of scars on my body, the sacrifice of my tens of thousands of soldiers, and more than twenty medals. This is what the Border Control Corps and I did for Zhongzhou State!”

“Treason? Gu Xingyun, my soldiers and I are standing here now. Do you dare to face these medals and say that the Border Control Corps will commit treason?!”

Gu Xingyun’s lips trembled violently, and his face was gray.

“Kill!”

Tens of thousands of troops in the array simultaneously raised their weapons and roared.

w.a.n.g Tianzong, who had been silent, suddenly whispered, “Enough.”

Dongcheng Wudi narrowed his eyes and looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong, who was still indifferent.

“How many people?” w.a.n.g Tianzong asked suddenly.

“Not many.”

Dongcheng Wudi calmly said, “Forty thousand people.”

“Not many, indeed.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded. “If I want to kill him, 40,000 people can’t stop me.”

“You can try.”

Dongcheng Wudi sneered. “They are 40,000 elites in the Qi-controlling Realm. Most of them might never break through the Ice-condensing Realm, but can you really break a domain formed by 40,000 people at the same time with one sword stroke, Sword Emperor?”

“You’re forcing me to take action?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at Dongcheng Wudi.

“I’m just teaching you what the big picture is. Since 40,000 people can appear here, within three days, 400,000 troops can appear on Mount Dibing if you dare to take action today. Even if I can’t break up your Beihai Corps, can’t I destroy your base? Forty thousand people can’t stop you. But if you do it today, the Dongcheng Clan will fight against you at all costs.”

Dongcheng Wudi’s eyes were calm and crazy. He looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong and said word by word, “Even at the cost of the disintegration of my family!”

“You are not afraid. Are they not afraid?!”

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s body seemed to shake, and then he sneered.

Dongcheng Wudi burst into laughter suddenly. He reached out his hand, pointed to the 40,000 troops under the stand, and laughed wildly. “I believe in the strength of you, Sword Emperor. But 40,000 people here are all outstanding soldiers who fought for Zhongzhou State regardless of life and death. They are standing here today. Even if they are motionless, w.a.n.g Tianzong, you can kill them all. But how many do you dare to kill?”

Sword Emperor pulled out his sword to kill soldiers in Zhongzhou State.

He might still be Sword Emperor.

But it was absolutely impossible for him to be the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State.

w.a.n.g Tianzong narrowed his eyes tightly and remained silent.

Dongcheng Wudi did not wait for others to continue to test his determination. He turned abruptly, looked down from the high platform, and exclaimed. “I am Dongcheng Wudi, your marshal. But my words are not orders now. I need someone to stand here and die for me! Who in the Border Control Corps dares to die?!”

In no more than a few seconds of silence, all the 40,000 people raised their weapons without hesitation and aimed at w.a.n.g Tianzong the next moment.

They were watching Dongcheng Wudi, the invincible marshal in their minds.

It was the frenzy and madness without reason.

“We’re willing to die for the marshal!!!”

The uniform roar straightly flew into the sky, and the weather changed!

At this moment, facing the killing intention and willpower of 40,000 people, even the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State seemed to have no imposing manner at all.

Gu Xingyun slowly slumped into his chair. His face was livid. He gritted his teeth and said, “Dongcheng Wudi, you are breaking the rules. You must pay the price!”

“Pooh!”

Dongcheng Wudi spat toward Gu Xingyun and sneered. “F*ck… you!”
