"With so many people in Pakistan, what are the odds of randomly picking you?" a Dragon Country soldier teased.
The rest of the group burst into laughter.
"You wish! I'm the one who wants to be a Guardian, so I can fight side-by-side with the great Qin Feng!" Rost grinned sheepishly, scratching his head.
Just then, a battlefield notification chimed in Rost's ear.
[Battlefield Notification: Congratulations, Rost! You have been chosen as Pakistan's new Guardian. You have 30 minutes to prepare. Teleportation will begin in 30 minutes.]
The notification ended, leaving Rost frozen in place.
He even forgot to chew the food in his mouth.
The other soldiers from both countries, who were sitting on the ground with him, had heard the announcement clearly.
Who would have thought the joke would actually come true?
Three seconds later, everyone threw down their rice bowls!
They scrambled to their feet and rushed back to their posts.
"Quick! Report it!"
"What are you standing around for? Get back to the base!"
"Call the National War Department! They'll have intelligence to send!"
It took nearly ten minutes for Pakistan's higher-ups to learn that the new Guardian was a soldier. They breathed a sigh of relief.
A soldier was good. At least it wasn't a woman. (Don't fight me, I'm just scared...)
At the very least, his combat awareness and willpower could be guaranteed.
In the next twenty minutes, Pakistan's nearby troops prepared two large bags of weapons and ammunition for Rost.
High-energy explosives were the main component.
After several waves of attacks, everyone had seen it clearly.
On the National Destiny Battlefield, the monsters were growing larger and larger. These swarming creatures loved eating explosives the most!
The Pakistani higher-ups also instructed Rost that if the opportunity arose, he must seek the protection of the Dragon Country's Guardian.
It would be best to become a vassal state of the Dragon Country!!
After all, for them, occupying resources was not the primary goal. The primary goal was to defend the National Gate.
When the National War Department of the Dragon Country learned that Pakistan had confirmed its new Guardian, Li Tai immediately called the Pakistani higher-ups, hoping they would convey a message to Qin Feng.
Pakistan naturally agreed without hesitation.
Li Tai personally recorded a video and then sent it to Pakistan.
When the time came, Rost was teleported to the National Destiny Battlefield with a pile of weapons and a USB flash drive.
On the National Destiny Battlefield, the sky was already bright.
[Battlefield Prompt: A new day, a new beginning. The fourth wave of attacks will arrive in five days. New map is being generated...]
The announcement echoed in the sky, heard clearly by all the Guardians.
The ground trembled incessantly, with a low rumble emanating from beneath.
A new map was gradually taking shape.
To the naked eye, the yellow sand at the corners of the walls was replaced by soil, and blades of grass swayed in the breeze.
The air was no longer dry; in its place was a damp freshness and the scent of earth.
Though the War Mist still obscured the view, all this indicated that the environment around the National Gate now had vegetation.
"It's not a desert! It's not a desert!!"
Gu Pu and An Bei danced with joy in front of the National Gate.
As long as the area around the National Gate wasn't a desert, not only would obtaining water be easier, but finding food would be simpler. Even resources would be more abundant!
[Battlefield Notification: New map generation complete.]
[Battlefield Notification: The National Destiny Battlefield has entered its second phase. Guardians from all nations are encouraged to form alliances to counter the more powerful waves of attacks.]
The slight tremors ceased, and outside the window, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds.
Seeing this, Qin Feng took a deep breath, his mood greatly improved.
"Jarvis, has Mark IV reached the Kimchi Country's National Gate?"
At this moment, his biggest concern was that each time the map was generated, the locations of the National Gates for each country would also change.
If that were the case, he would have to search for those guys' National Gates all over again!
To his surprise, Jarvis replied, "Sir, I arrived 1 minute and 53 seconds ago and am currently monitoring the area. Would you like me to project the feed?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng finally relaxed.
"No need. Just keep monitoring. Shoot them the moment you have a chance! A bunch of trash like them isn't worth my time."
"Yes, sir."
Inside the workshop, the printers worked day and night. Now, even the two robotic arms were under Jarvis's control, tirelessly fabricating the Red Crystal Stone lining.
Qin Feng went up to the defense tower.
"A Primary Defense Tower? Let's see how powerful this thing is!"
He gripped the turret's controls, ready to test it.
*Buzz...*
The faint hum of a propeller sounded in his ear.
Qin Feng turned his head and saw Sister Bao'er playing with the Time-Travel Machine.
"Hey, look! I can fly really well now!"
Standing before the National Gate, Sister Bao'er wore a VR headset, leaving only her perfect lower face visible.
Qin Feng knew that, at this moment, the Time-Travel Machine served as Sister Bao'er's eyes.
He gave the machine a thumbs-up and said, "Impressive! You learned to fly on your own so quickly."
This praise was genuinely heartfelt.
The Time-Travel Machine was difficult to operate; mastering it required at least a month of training.
Sister Bao'er had been teaching herself for less than a day. Although her flight was wobbly and uneven, she at least hadn't crashed.
"Of course! I'm a goddamn genius!"
*Buzz, buzz, buzz!*
Sister Bao'er flew off with her new toy.
Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and continued testing the turret.
The barrel was nearly two meters long and as thick as a thigh. Beside the turret was an empty energy slot, flanked by two energy indicator tubes. One green tube remained unlit, while the other was fully illuminated.
Qin Feng gripped the trigger and pulled it hard.
*Whoosh—*
Blue patterns lit up, spreading from the turret's base to the long barrel.
*Boom!*
With a thunderous blast, a Spiritual Energy Cannonball about one meter in diameter shot from the barrel.
The cannonball looked weightless, yet it tore through the War Mist at incredible speed. The mist in its path seemed to melt away as if scorched, revealing the flowers, grass, and trees below.
*Boom!*
The Spiritual Energy Cannonball struck the ground, sending dirt and rocks flying and leaving a massive crater in its wake.
A few seconds later, the path cleared by the Spiritual Energy Cannonball vanished, and the crater was swallowed by the War Mist.
"Not bad at all!"
Qin Feng was satisfied.
Glancing sideways, he saw that the green tube beside the energy slot had dimmed by a quarter.
"Damn, if the energy slot is empty, can this tower only fire four shots?"
Qin Feng guessed that without energy, the tower was forced to use the spiritual energy from the Red Crystal Stone used in its construction—an emergency power source.
Once depleted, the defense tower would likely be rendered useless.
"Sir," Jarvis reminded him, "when you fired just now, the Mark III was affected by approximately 7% electrical interference."
"Hmm," Qin Feng nodded. "This shows that protection against spiritual energy fluctuations is still very necessary."
Meanwhile, at the National Gate of Kimchi Country, Choi Sung-tae and the others had been revived for half the night.
They hadn't slept all night.
"What should we do? Eagle Country is afraid of being dragged down with us, so they refuse to take us in."
Kim Min-yong's face was a picture of despair.
Ever since they had become so-called Guardians, they were either being killed or on the way to being killed.
They hadn't had a single moment of peace.
Choi Sung-tae frowned, thinking it over. "I'll ask George again. I hope he agrees!"
"Sigh," Kim Min-yong let out a long breath. "Kim Seok isn't back yet. You don't think anything's wrong, do you?"
