After shooting down the last missile detected by the satellite, Li Xingkong stood in the air, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.
This time was different from the last time. This time, it was more like a warm-up for Li Xingkong, a warm- Li Xingkong to openly and freely use his sword.
Although the incoming missiles were indeed numerous and fast, in Li Xingkong's eyes, using them as targets for sword practice was only a passing grade. In fact, after getting the hang of it, he even felt that these things flew a bit too slowly.
In short, regardless of the circumstances, all the incoming missiles were successfully intercepted.
Most of the missiles fell into the sea, whether they had nuclear warheads or not; they were all lying in the ocean now.
As for the recovery, Li Xingkong said that it would be better to let Divine Land send people to handle such a matter. He was too lazy to go into the sea to retrieve so many missiles.
As for whether this sea area will be contaminated by Fallout, that should not be the case.
None of the nuclear bombs detonated, so the Fallout they emitted was not released. Even if the raw materials used to make the nuclear bombs were radioactive, it would not affect the entire sea area.
After all, nuclear materials are naturally occurring in nature, and Fallout is not something created by humans. If it doesn't explode, the harm isn't actually that great.
After waiting in place for a while, the Chasing Lightning Sword cleaved through the clouds, creating a path through the air, and flew back to Li Xingkong's side.
After carefully examining the sword, which was found to be mostly intact, Li Xingkong then flew back to the defensive line set up on the Divine Land side.
When Li Xingkong arrived at the defensive line, he saw the space carrier moving towards him on the horizon. He then boarded the space carrier and landed on it.
Everyone on the space carrier was quite familiar with Li Xingkong, and there was no scene where a bunch of people surrounded him as soon as he landed.
On the contrary, not long after he landed, Old Tang and his group emerged from the tall building at the center of the space carrier.
The space carrier was surrounded by detection equipment, and they received the message as soon as Li Xingkong approached.
They should go and see Li Xingkong, both morally and logically. Putting everything else aside, Li Xingkong is arguably a hero of the entire Divine Land for this operation alone.
Seeing Li Xingkong walking towards them from afar, the group immediately hurried over and surrounded Li Xingkong.
"A young prodigy, truly remarkable!"
When Li Xingkong saw this group of people surrounding him, he wondered what they wanted to do. But when they started talking, they showered him with compliments, making Li Xingkong feel a little embarrassed.
"You flatter me, it's nothing, it's what I should do."
Looking at everyone, Li Xingkong had nowhere to hide, so he went straight to Old Tang.
" Uncle Tang, I've come to deliver something to you."
Then, he took out a pair of rings from the bag he was carrying.
"This is..."
Not only Old Tang, but everyone around looked at the pair of rings in Li Xingkong's hand. They looked like bracelets, but were obviously much larger than bracelets, more like the neck rings around Red Boy's neck.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted a spatial portal? This is the finished product."
Li Xingkong threw one of the rings a short distance away. Under Li Xingkong's Divine Sense, the ring hovered in the open space not far away.
Then Li Xingkong activated his Magic Power Magic Power, injecting it into the ring on his hand. As the ring spun, an invisible structure seemed to spread outwards from it, expanding until it reached a size large enough for a heavy truck to easily pass through, before finally stopping.
Then, the edge of the expanding structure flickered, and a ring of light made of Magic Power appeared on the edge of this large, expanding structure.
"Hey, this is a specially modified military-grade portal, just as you requested."
After the ring in Li Xingkong opened, another ring he threw out also opened a channel simultaneously, giving the impression that the two were already connected.
"Portal?"
Clearly, Old Tang hadn't discussed space equipment with his colleagues yet, since he was the one doing scientific research, while the others were mostly involved in military matters.
"When did this kind of thing come into existence? Old Tang, you're hiding things too, aren't you?"
An elderly man who looked rather old patted Old Tang on the shoulder; the gleaming rank in his military uniform was higher than that of everyone else present.
"The experiment hasn't even started yet; Xingkong just told me."
Old Tang offered a brief explanation. Although he was considered a top figure in the Earthly Capital, he was like a junior in front of this old general.
After listening to Old Tang's words, the old general looked at Li Xingkong, then took a few steps forward and stood in front of the spatial gate.
"Should we just walk straight through this door?"
"That's right."
Li Xingkong nodded.
Having received Li Xingkong's reply, the old general stepped directly into the spatial portal before anyone else could approach. As his figure disappeared, he reappeared from another circular portal.
Emerging from the portal, he first looked at his own body, then at his surroundings, and found himself indeed standing at another entrance. He then let out a loud laugh.
"Grandpa, this is so dangerous! How could you go in before we even tested it?"
Old Tang quickly went up and stopped the old general who was about to turn back from the door.
"What? Others can be tested, but I can't? Go away, I've already come over, it's perfectly safe."
As the veteran went back and forth between the two portals several times, the others also tried it out a few times.
Passing through the portal didn't feel strange at all; it was just like taking a few steps on a road, without any unusual or uncomfortable sensations.
"Great, great, great! This is a divine artifact! With this, who would still want to fight on the front lines?"
The group quickly began discussing dozens of tactics related to the use of the teleportation portal, and the scene instantly transformed into a tactical seminar.
After the group had been discussing the tactics for a while, the old general slapped his thigh.
"What's the point of discussing this? It's wartime, and we have the door in our hands. Let's just give it a try."
The others turned to look at the veteran.
How do you test it?
The missiles have been intercepted, the nuclear crisis has been averted, so what will they test now?
"No, the enemy's missiles are about to hit our heads. Do you really think that stopping the missiles is enough?"
The veteran clearly has his own opinion.
"The war began the moment the enemy attacked us. It would be cowardly of us not to fight back."
"But we haven't received any further orders to attack."
One of the young men scratched his head and said...
What is our mission this time?
The old general asked.
"To resolve the nuclear crisis, we must intercept all incoming nuclear missiles."
"That's what the young man replied."
"That settles it. This wave of nuclear weapons has been dealt with, so you know there won't be a next one? Therefore, our mission isn't over yet."
The old general's words were clearly a misinterpretation, but they did contain some truth.
The old general was right. In wartime, without orders from higher command, the commander-in-chief does indeed have the highest authority.
"Therefore, we need to go directly to the Eagle Country. mainland, capture the Eagle Country. president alive, and take down his nuclear button before the mission is considered complete."
"Ah?"
The young general was somewhat bewildered; was this really their mission?
