493 Enter Myanmar (2/2)
\”Minister, we have just got a report from the border that a Super Overlord from China just entered our nation. The intruder is young, has black hair and black eyes. He is obviously Chinese. He attacked our checkpoint and was on his way to the capital. This is an invasion!\”
A Colonel from the Strategy Office shouted hotly.
\”Why would a Chinese Super Overlord come to Myanmar? You said he destroyed our border checkpoint?\”
The Deputy Minister narrowed his eyes as his mind raced.
Regardless of the cause of the incident, this was not a small matter.
\”I will report this to the Minister, as well as the Lords at the Dark Witch Sect. Order general Aung Hlaing to intercept that Chinese overlord. They have my permission to fire at will.\” The deputy minister said.
\”Yes, sir!\”
The colonel saluted and replied at the top of his lungs.
The young man who had barged through the checkpoint was Chen Fan.
Once he was inside Myanmar, he charged toward the heartland of the country at lightning speed. Time was of the essence during his mission, so he didn't even bother to put on a disguise. While passing through populated areas, he simply slowed down a little or cast an illusion spell to turn himself invisible.
However, some civilians still noticed him and reported the sighting of the strange young man to the government.
It wasn't long before General Aung Hlaing got a whiff of Chen Fan's whereabouts.
\”He is a Chinese Overlord, you said? Doesn't he know that Myanmar is under the Dark Witch Sect's protection?\”
Two men sat across from General Aung Hlaing in his office. One of them was a middle-aged man in a black robe that snorted.
\”Lord Jin, what do you think?\”
General Aung Hlaing had ten thousand troops at his disposal, however, his voice was filled with deference while he talked to the two middle-aged men.
\”We have just gotten a message from the Headquarters. The Magus God was very angry at the death of the new Grand Magus. I wager that this invader is the same person who killed the Grand Magus. Is he really not afraid of the ire of the Dark Witch Sect?\” Lord Jin thought and then he said.
\”I need all hands on deck to stop that man. I will dispatch some of my Magus to aid you.\”
\”Yes, my lord.\”
General Aung Hlaing replied with a smile on his face.
He knew that the Magus from the Dark Witch Sect possessed such incredible power that they could kill people without even lifting a finger. Even though he was a mighty warlord, he could easily be killed by the Magus unwittingly.
Under General Aung Hlaing's command, many divisions that were stationed in the Northwestern regions were mobilized for war.
Chen Fan had chosen the shortest route to his destination and didn't hide his tracks. Therefore, the strategists in the military had easily predicted his location.
\”We will encounter our enemy in ten minutes, ready your arms.\”
\”Artillery, Tanks, and Snipers, on my mark!\”
\”Ten minutes, nine, eight, one…\”
\”Fire!\”
The field commander issued the order to fire at will.
\”Kaboom!\”
A dozen field cannons with 140mm shells roared in unison. Each one of these shells was able to obliterate an entire building. When a dozen of them were firing at the same time, the sky started to rain deadly steel that would easily annihilate anything and everything.
\”Lord Jin, please rest assured. Not even a mosquito could have passed that downpour of iron and steel.\”
General Aung Hlaing said confidently with a cigarette in his mouth.
Despite the short notice, General Aung Hlaing had mobilized over twenty battalions with two hundred thousand soldiers in total. Two of the battalions were field cannon battalions, one of them was a motorized unit. These were the most elite forces in the Northwest region. If not because of the personal request from Lord Jin, he would never use them.
\”Very good.\”
The dark-robed man's face tightened a little when he heard the roaring of cannons.
His name was Jin Wuxian and he was one of the nine perfected cultivators in the Dark Witch Sect. The leaders of the Dark Witch Sect were much more powerful than that of the Hong Sect, and they were the reason that the Dark Witch Sect could subjugate an entire nation while the Hong Sect was still in exile.
Jin Wuxian was tasked by the Grand Magus God to search for clues about the downfall of the Grand Magus. Therefore, He didn't expect to run into Chen Fan. Although he was a perfected cultivator, the deadly barrage of cannons stupefied him.
\”Haha, the National Defense department had overreacted, I say. I could have dealt with the problem with a few hundred of my best men. There is no need to mobilize such a huge army.\”
Even as General Aung Hlaing let out a peal of laughter, he heard the soldiers shouting at him.
\”General, look!\”
General Aung Hlaing turned around and managed to make out a shadow amidst the dust and smoke. Then the shadow glowed azure and charged forward toward the ranks of his soldiers like a shooting star.
\”OMG!\”
General Aung Hlaing gaped in disbelief, and so did his soldiers. Some soldiers were so stunned by what they saw, that they didn't even notice that they had dropped the guns in their hands.
Jin Wuxian's face also darkened.
\”He is running on air. He is an… Immortal State Warrior!\”
