The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 574 - A Bigger Ruckus



Chapter 574: A Bigger Ruckus

2:15 am.

A group of people pushed open the door of the command center and hurried inside.

The leader was a short man in his fifties. Behind him was a group of people dressed in military uniforms.

Everyone worked busily in the command center.

“How’s the situation?” The short man looked around and asked in a low voice.

“We can’t get through, Minister. No one is picking up.” Someone stepped forward, bowed, and reported.

“No one is picking up? How is that possible?” The Defense Minister frowned. “When did that happen?”

“We received a call from them at 1:55.”

“That’s only twenty minutes ago! Have we confirmed the intruder’s identity?”

“The person in the call clearly said that it’s the Dragon! There’s only him!”

“One person? How dare he!”

“That Huaxianese is too arrogant. Does he think that no one in Dongying can subdue him?” The people behind the Minister of Defence exclaimed angrily.

The minister frowned and thought for a moment before giving the order, “Immediately pull up the list of recent arrivals. Also, send someone to Mount Iga to investigate.”

“Minister, we have already sent a helicopter from the nearest base to investigate the situation. It will arrive soon,” someone reported.

The Minister of Defence nodded and said, “It’s only 20 minutes, there shouldn’t be any problems. Maybe they’re busy! The Dragon is quite strong. Perhaps everyone in Iga is focused on the fighting.

“Inform the people at the nearby bases to get ready and mobilize at any time! Oh, right, how about the other cultivator masters?”

“They have also received the news and have already set off,” the person replied.

The Minister of Defence nodded satisfactorily.

The corners of his mouth curled upward into a sneer.

“What Dragon? Heh! He’s nothing but a boorish idiot. He must have a death wish to come to Dongying by himself!”

The military officers behind him also laughed, and their expressions became much more relaxed.

It would have been a disaster if the Dragon had come to cause general trouble, but he went up Mount Iga by himself.

That was a reckless, if not idiotic, act!

The Iga clan was not a pushover!

They knew that the Iga clan’s Sendai was still alive, and his cultivation base was higher than the Dragon. If the Sendai could stall him until the other leaders arrived, they would be able to kill the Dragon and eliminate the disastrous threat.

Very soon, the command center received the live feed from the helicopter that was approaching its destination.

The feed was projected onto the big screen.

The image was dark and slightly wobbly.

Everyone in the command center raised their heads and looked at the screen.

At first, the screen was pitch black, and they could not see anything. Soon, they saw a dim light.

“What’s that?” Someone cried out in surprise.

Everyone’s eyes focused on the dim light.

The patch of light became bigger as the helicopter got closer. It was like a flickering flame.

Everyone was stunned when they saw clearly. Fire was everywhere, and the entire peak of Mount Iga was covered in a sea of flames.

As the helicopter got closer, they saw that all the buildings on the top half of the mountain were engulfed in flames.

“Oh my god!” They blurted.

One by one, they subconsciously stood up. Their faces were filled with shock and confusion.

The Minister of Defence and the officers behind him were stunned too.

For a moment, the command center was terrifyingly quiet.

Then, the pilot screamed over the speakers, “Oh my god! Everything is on fire! I can’t see a single living person!”

As he spoke, he circled the mountain peak once.

However, he did not see a single living person.

The command center remained deathly silent.

Everyone was still in a daze.

Someone’s phone dropped on the floor. The soft thud broke the silence.

Then, there was an uproar.

The minister’s body teetered, and he felt dizzy.

‘Mount Iga is completely destroyed… in just twenty minutes?

‘Oh my god! Am I dreaming?’

Then, his body began to tremble. His face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

‘Have we… misjudged the Dragon’s strength?

‘Otherwise, how could he wipe out Mount Iga in a short time? The Iga clan’s Sendai had made his appearance, but he was also no match for the Dragon.’

Behind him, the faces of the military officers had also turned ghastly pale.

“This… this is bad…” Someone said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

‘That’s not just ‘bad’! That’s a disaster!’

Many people laughed out of despair.

The Dragon must have caught wind of Project Dragon Slayer, and he was returning the favor, starting with the Iga clan. He must have the other major forces in his sights too.

“Quick, quick! Notify the other masters to return to their home bases. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!” The Minister of Defence roared ferociously.

The four forces were the pillars of the Dongying cultivation world, and one of them had fallen. If no one stopped the Dragon, they would all be wiped out.

“Yes!”

Someone answered hurriedly and picked up the phone.

“Where’s the map? Show me the map!” The Minister of Defence roared again.

Soon, a map appeared on the screen.

“Where’s Mount Koga?”

A red dot appeared on the map, not far away from Mount Iga.

“Inform the nearby military bases. Send everyone over and seal off that mountain. And the jets too. Mobilize anything that can fly!

“Start firing once you find the target, and don’t stop until they’re dead!

“What? You need the Prime Minister’s permission? Just wait, I’ll get it soon!”

Military bases all across Dongying sprung into action as orders were passed down.

All the lights were on at the nearest military base.

Helicopters rose into the air one by one/ The gates of the military base opened, and armored vehicles and tanks rolled out.

The fleet of vehicles headed toward Mount Koga like a long steel dragon.

Military jets from several airbases scrambled to get into the air.

Sonic booms echoed in the sky.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao found a hiding place and regulated his breathing.

His qi reserves were almost empty, and he was very weak. The mirror Artifact might be extremely powerful, but he could only fire two more shots at most. His qi reserves would be completely drained after that.

He started moving again at about five o’clock.

He rushed to the vicinity of Mount Koga and furrowed his brows when he assessed the situation.

The mountain had long been sealed off. Armored vehicles and tanks were parked crosswise on the road. Behind them were rows of fully-armed soldiers.

Tang Hao would not be afraid if that were all that stood in front of him. However, he looked into the sky and saw fighter jets and helicopters patrolling.

“I can’t possibly fight all of that!”

Tang Hao was a little frustrated. If he barged in, he would be bombarded by concentrated fire.

He soon came up with a plan. “You want a fight? I’ll bring a fight to you then!” He muttered coldly.

After saying that, he turned around and drove away.
