National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Gao Liceng walked over unhurriedly.

She ordered the members of the Defense Team to gather all the Papermen on the ground and pile them up.

A chill ran down the spines of these Defense Team members.

The scene that had just unfolded was utterly terrifying; living, breathing enemies had been turned into Papermen, one after another.

When they held them, they were as light as nothing, as if these living people had been Papermen all along.

Following Gao Liceng’s instructions, they suppressed their inner fear and forced themselves to go over.

They piled all the Papermen together.

Gao Liceng took a box of matches from her pocket, struck one, and flicked it onto one of the Papermen.

Immediately, a raging fire erupted.

This side of the battlefield was also quickly dealt with by Gao Liceng alone.

The Defense Team members stood to the side, the glow of the flames reflecting on their faces.

They looked at each other. They had all been prepared for a bloody battle,

but they never even got a chance to act.

This young girl, who looked like a high school student, had single-handedly eliminated the enemy with that strange Yellow Paper.

Even now, thinking back on it, they were still filled with utter shock.

If they had been the enemy, they feared their fate would have been exactly the same as that of the White Elephant Empire’s forces.

On the final battlefield, steeped in deep fear, Yumizakura’s figure moved like a phantom. Her speed was unimaginable, as if time itself slowed in her presence.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared in mid-air, a goddess stepping out of the void, hovering above the heads of the White Elephant Empire’s personnel.

A deep, mysterious, fluorescent light surrounded her—a glow that wasn’t dazzling, yet contained a terrifying power.

As her graceful yet eerie figure twisted gently, an indescribable Magic Power seemed to permeate the air.

Then, a breathtaking scene began to unfold.

Yumizakura’s body became a wellspring of countless illusions.

One by one, translucent, ethereal foxes drifted leisurely from her body.

They possessed a surreal beauty, dancing lightly in the air.

They were like the brightest meteor shower in the night sky, or like dandelion seeds scattering in a spring breeze, each one carrying a fatal temptation and a Curse.

These phantom foxes didn’t attack directly. Instead, with almost magical grace, they precisely merged into the bodies of the White Elephant Empire’s men.

In an instant, the men’s eyes became vacant and dull, as if their souls had been completely ripped away by some unseen force.

Their movements turned mechanical and brutal. All camaraderie was gone, replaced by blind, manipulated madness.

Some of the men swung their swords at their companions like lightning, the sharp blades flashing with a cold light under the setting sun.

Heads began to roll. Blood gushed out like fountains, dyeing the ground red.

Those wielding Wolf Fang Clubs were even worse, swinging the heavy weapons with reckless abandon as if possessed by Demons.

Each swing was accompanied by the shattering of a comrade’s skull and a bloodcurdling scream. A gruesome mixture of red and white matter, brains and blood, was shockingly conspicuous amidst the splattering gore.

On the battlefield, wails and screams wove together into a symphony of death. The air grew thick with the heavy stench of blood and despair.

The men of the White Elephant Empire fell one after another, the light of life in their eyes replaced by silent death and indignation.

This tragedy, orchestrated entirely by Yumizakura, declared the final victor of this battlefield in her otherworldly yet merciless style.

At this point, all the personnel from the White Elephant Empire who had come to cause trouble were eliminated.

The entire process, from start to finish, probably took less than ten minutes.

The ferocious attacks from Gao Liceng, Nalan Fengshan, and Yumizakura—brought by Chu He—stunned everyone present.

The reporters from various Empires, hidden in the nearby woods and live-streaming the event, held their breath, terrified of being discovered and dealt with.

Some reporters were already prostrate on the ground, trembling. The fear of death had completely enveloped them.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves before coming, they still couldn’t suppress their psychological terror when faced with death directly.

”What is the Great Xia Empire doing? They actually slaughtered every single person the White Elephant Empire sent.”

”I’m afraid the conflict between the Great Xia Empire and the White Elephant Empire is about to escalate.”

”It escalated a long time ago. The White Elephant Empire has just been wary of Great Xia’s Chu He.”

Seeing that Chu He and his group paid them no mind, the reporters hiding in the shadows began to whisper to each other through their communication devices.

The various live-stream channels were already in an uproar.

”Has the Great Xia Empire gone crazy again? This Chu He is a warmonger, a Demon!”

”Why did our White Elephant Empire only send so few people? Chu He must be executed to appease our hatred. How dare he provoke the most powerful Empire on Blue Star!”

”So your White Elephant Empire is the most powerful Empire on Blue Star now? Then what does that make our Lighthouse Empire?”

”Aren’t both your Lighthouse Empire and White Elephant Empire just losers who got beaten by the Great Xia Empire? I don’t know what you’re arguing about, HAHAHAHA.”

”I’m a resident of a Great Xia Border City. No wonder I heard alarms today. So Chu He came in person. Those White Elephant Empire bastards should have been killed a long time ago! They come to harass us every other day, making it impossible for us to even conduct basic business. It’s been unbearable.”

The bullet comments in the live-stream chat surged like a tidal wave.

”Mr. Chu, what should we do next?”

Liu Qiang hurried over, stood before Chu He, and asked respectfully.

This was his first time meeting Chu He, and he was stunned by his iron-fisted methods. At the same time, however, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction and relief.

”It’s rude not to return a favor. Since the White Elephant Empire is so keen on visiting our Great Xia Empire, it’s only natural that we return the gesture in kind.

If you’re not afraid, then help me with some preparations, and we’ll pay them a visit.”

Chu He took a photograph from his pocket, gave Liu Qiang some specific instructions, and handed it to him, telling him to use all the Defense Team members to make expedited preparations.

Liu Qiang immediately went to make the arrangements.

Hearing Chu He’s words, Liu Qiang and the other members of the Defense Team had a good idea of what Chu He was planning to do next!

Every one of them was incredibly excited.

This could be their chance to be recorded in the annals of history.

To earn glorious military merits, bring honor to their ancestors, and achieve lasting fame.

Years from now, their glorious deeds might even appear in history textbooks.

The mere thought was exhilarating.

...

「White Elephant Empire, Royal City.」

”Has the Great Xia Empire gone mad? Has that Chu He gone mad? How dare he slaughter all the men we sent to the Border City!”

Inside a magnificent, gold-themed grand hall,

Sharuk, the king of the White Elephant Empire, flew into a rage after receiving the latest intelligence report.
