Mission Accomplished
Soon, Kim Geun-seok's army arrived at the border of Stick Country.
Contrary to Kim Geun-seok's previous assumptions, the relationship between Stick Country and North Stick Country does not seem to be very harmonious.
A tall iron fence stands along the border between the two countries, stretching for thousands of miles.
In some sections, there are also high walls resembling trenches.
"What is this? Go check it out." Kim Geun-seok- seok immediately gave the order to the Challengers in the front row.
Soon, a response came through the radio.
"Reporting to Young Master Jin, there's a sign on the iron fence that says '38th Parallel'!"
"There are warning signs on it, but their specific purpose isn't explained."
Kim Geun-seok- seok frowned, becoming cautious once again.
It goes without saying that this kind of warning line means that you can't just enter without permission; to break in directly would be considered an invasion.
He then instructed, "Use binoculars to take a look and see if there are any defensive structures on the other side of that iron fence."
After another flurry of activity, the people in the front row gave a new response.
"Reporting to Young Master Jin, we have not observed any defensive structures."
"Moreover... the other side looks very poor, just stretches of wasteland."
"Although it's only a line apart, it feels like the North and South are two completely different worlds."
Kim Geun-seok touched his chin, and finally made up his mind.
"All troops, listen up! Smash the iron fence and cross 38th Line!"
In truth, Kim Geun-seok didn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary.
But now, if we want to get to Bear Country, we have to go through North Stick Country first. We have to take this route whether we want to or not.
It's impossible for a place smaller than Stick Country to possess top-tier military strength.
In that case, the design of this Instance would be extremely unreasonable.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One after another, the Kim 7V Tanks smashed through the iron fence on 38th Line and then ran over it.
Soon, the entire legion entered North Stick Country territory.
Kim Geun-seok opened the hatch on the roof of the vehicle, stuck his head out of the command vehicle, and looked around.
It turns out that North Stick Country is truly a godforsaken place; there are no defensive facilities, and not even a single living person in sight.
And it seems that nothing has happened, everything is fine.
Kim Geun-seok returned to the command vehicle and let out a long sigh of relief.
Looks like we made the right bet again!
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"Full speed ahead towards the east coast of North Stick Country, then head straight for Vladivostok, the Vladivostok of the Bear Country!"
But just as he was issuing orders to the legion, a piercing alarm suddenly rang in his ears.
The world before my eyes was suddenly dyed bright red!
[Firmament Notification: Challengers has been detected to have crossed the 38th Parallel border between North Stick Country and Stick Country, violating the non-aggression agreement between the Stick Countries North Stick Country! This is considered an act of aggression against North Stick Country!]
[Next, the Dragon Country will launch Dongfeng-41 ballistic missile bombardment against the Challengers team! Challengers, please prepare your defenses!]
[Countdown 03:60]
[03:59]
[03:58]
"What?!"
Kim Geun-seok looked completely bewildered, his mouth agape.
I have tried my best to avoid any involvement with the Dragon Country, but in the end I still provoked them.
The most bizarre thing is that even if they were to invade, it would be North Stick Country that they were invading!
What is its relationship with Dragon Country?
That makes absolutely no sense! It's pure nonsense!
"The Firmament! This is illogical! Lin Ye's Instance has a logical flaw!"
"My troops merely crossed into North Stick Country territory and had no intention of aggression. Besides, what does this have to do with Dragon Country?"
I protest!
[Firmament Notification: Protest invalid... In the Earth Online setting, North Stick Country is a vassal state of Dragon Country. If North Stick Country is invaded, Dragon Country will automatically launch Counterattack!]
[Countdown: 02:59]
[02:58]
"What the hell!" Kim Geun-seok cursed, slamming his fist on the outer wall of the command vehicle.
He was trying his best to control his emotions, but this kind of thing was just so infuriating.
The Dragon Country is going to use missiles to deal with its own army.
How can I defend myself against missiles?
Because there would be no air units in the Instance, Kim Geun-seok- seok did not bring any anti-air weapons into the Instance.
Are we supposed to rely on tanks and giant cannons to block and intercept missiles? That sounds incredibly stupid.
But since things have come to this, there's no other choice but to give it our all.
"Listen up, everyone! Get all the Goryeo Great Cannons set up, and all the Kim 7V Tanks ' cannons pointed towards the northern sky!"
"You must shoot down the Dragon Country missiles!"
The Challengers, in a state of panic, began their operation.
No one expected the battle to start so quickly, so everyone was in a flurry of activity.
[00:03]
[00:02]
[00:01]
[Firmament Notification: Dragon Country Dongfeng Missile saturation attack has begun!]
Kim Geun-seok's forehead was covered in sweat. He climbed out of the command vehicle once again and looked towards the distant horizon.
The outlines of red missiles were revealed.
These missiles are painted in a very bright color, with a fiery red coating and gold five-pointed stars.
"This..."
Kim Geun-seok couldn't help but shiver, because he saw more than one missile!
Instead, it was a series of missiles, like a machine gun, numbering in the dozens, or even hundreds!
They have exactly the same trajectory, and the distance between each pair of missiles is exactly the same!
"What the hell is this?!"
"Ahh!"
Boom!
With a deafening roar.
The first Dongfeng Missile has landed! It struck the Challengers team squarely in the center.
This means that everything was judged correctly.
The red missile struck the tank's top armor with perfect accuracy!
The missile's warhead triggered a violent explosion upon impact. A massive fireball rapidly expanded from the point of blast, engulfing the surrounding air and forming an ever-expanding, fiery red hemisphere.
The intense light from the explosion illuminated the entire sky almost instantly, like a miniature Sun suddenly appearing on the horizon!
The intense shockwave shattered the tank in the center, melting its metal hull in the intense heat! In an instant, a fireball, accompanied by thick smoke and debris, erupted from inside the tank, scattering metal fragments everywhere.
The shockwave from the explosion even tore apart the tank's tracks and some of its armor, and burning debris and destroyed equipment were scattered on the surrounding ground!
The strong wind pressure and airflow also spread outwards at the same time, overturning all the tanks and armored vehicles on the periphery!
Deep craters were left in the ground, and the surrounding objects were charred and twisted!
Immediately following, a second missile struck, with the same destructive power.
Then came the third one...
The fourth one...
