Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 336 The explosion occurs, Mars is stunned.

Antarctica, above the Great Xia underground city.

A blinding white light suddenly tore through the darkness of the polar night.

Immediately afterwards, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the firelight illuminated the entire ice field.

The shockwave from the nuclear explosion swept across the ice surface, creating an ice storm tens of meters high.

Deep within the underground city, alarms blared, but the defense system remained unmoved, only launching a few anti-aircraft missiles as a token gesture.

The explosion occurred 100 meters above the ground, leaving the underground city completely undamaged.

However, the buildings on the ground suffered a devastating destruction, although the people had already been evacuated to the underground city.

at the same time.

The Governor's Office in the Free City of the Eagle Kingdom.

Mars sat in his leather seat, awaiting the latest update on the Arctic operation.

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

The secretary rushed in, her face deathly pale.

"Mr. Mars! Something terrible has happened!"

Mars looked up, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"What's the panic?"

The secretary was breathing heavily, her voice trembling.

"We... no, a nuclear missile has been launched from our territory!"

Mars: "..."

He stood there stunned for a full three seconds, his mind completely blank.

"A nuclear missile? We launched it?! What are you talking about?!"

The secretary swallowed hard and hurriedly said:

"It wasn't launched by us, but it was launched from within our territory. The target was the Great Xia's underground city in Antarctica!"

"By now... the nuclear explosion must have already occurred!"

Mars jumped up, kicking the chair over and smashing it to the ground.

"What's going on?!"

"I never gave the order for a nuclear attack!"

His voice was almost a shout, his hands were on the table, and his chest was heaving violently.

The secretary shook her head.

"It's still under investigation, but..."

"Beep—beep—beep—"

A piercing air raid siren suddenly blared throughout the entire underground city.

The flashing red emergency lights illuminated the office in a blood-red hue.

The secretary immediately checked the tablet in her hand, wanting to know what was going on.

The next moment, his face turned even paler.

"Great Xia... Great Xia has launched nuclear neutralization!"

"They've launched nuclear missiles all over the world!"

Mars' eyes widened.

"???"

He rushed out of the office, his secretary following closely behind.

The two quickly crossed the corridor and pushed open the door to the command center next door.

Inside the center, dozens of screens were lit up.

On the satellite map, countless red dots are moving.

Each red dot represents a nuclear missile.

"Report!"

An information soldier suddenly stood up and shouted:

"A global broadcast has been received!"

Mars rushed to the screen.

"Release it quickly!"

The screen flickers, and the scene changes.

A middle-aged man in a suit appeared in front of the camera.

His face was stern, and behind him was the national emblem of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I am the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Great Xia."

"An emergency statement is now being issued globally."

The scene then shifts to a video.

That's satellite surveillance footage.

A missile took off from the territory of the United Kingdom, leaving a long trail of flame, and exploded over the underground city of Great Xia in Antarctica.

The camera then switched back to the spokesperson.

"Just five minutes ago, the United States brazenly launched a nuclear weapon at our underground city in Antarctica."

"Previously, the United States sent special forces to raid our Arctic base in an attempt to steal important secrets from our country."

"The operation resulted in heavy casualties among our soldiers, including the killing of a high-ranking officer at the base."

"After failing to steal secrets, the United States, instead of repenting, launched a nuclear attack!"

The spokesperson's voice was calm, but every word was like a heavy hammer blow.

"The Great Xia has always advocated peace."

"We don't provoke trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of trouble!"

"Since the United States has brazenly launched a nuclear war, then..."

He paused, his eyes turning cold.

"This prosperous era will be as you wished!"

The video cuts off.

Inside the command center, there was a deathly silence.

Mars stood in front of the screen, his face ashen.

His brain was working at lightning speed.

He understood everything that had been said.

It's true that he sent out the special forces.

As for "causing huge casualties" and "killing high-ranking base members"...

He even felt a little smug inside.

Looks like our people did a great job!

Of course, if he knew that the so-called huge casualties meant no more than ten people, and that the high-ranking officers of the base who were killed were the moles planted by the United States in the Great Xia base, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

but……

nuclear bomb?

When did he order the launch of the nuclear missile?

He's still in a daze.

Mars turned abruptly and stared at the secretary.

"Has this been verified?!"

"Who gave the order?!"

The secretary shook her head, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"We've checked, and all nuclear warheads are currently functioning normally; none have been launched!"

"Then tell me, what's with that damn nuclear missile that's already been launched?!"

"I'm sorry, sir, we're still investigating which country launched the nuclear missile..."

"Beep beep beep—"

Suddenly, an urgent call came through the communications station.

A technician turned to report.

"Your Excellency the Consul!"

"Russia, Europe, Japan, South Korea..."

"All countries are calling on us!"

Mars took a deep breath.

"Bring him in!"

Dozens of video windows popped up on the screen simultaneously.

In each window, there was an angry face.

The ruler of the Bear Kingdom slammed his fist on the table.

"Mars! Are you insane?!"

"You want to drag the whole world down with you?!"

The European governor pointed at the camera and roared.

"We're giving you ten minutes! Immediately order Great Xia to halt its nuclear attack!"

"Otherwise, we'll launch a nuclear missile!"

The governor of the Sakura Kingdom turned pale.

"Baka baka baka, we don't want to die! Make them stop nuclear blackmail!"

The voice from Iraq was sharp.

"If Great Xia is not satisfied, all our nations will attack your Eagle Kingdom!"

"Fire nuclear weapons if they have them, launch missiles if they don't!"

"No one will get away with this; we'll all be buried with them!"

After hearing this barrage of accusations, Mars wanted to explain...

"No! Listen to me!"

"I never ordered the launch of a nuclear missile!"

"This is a conspiracy!"

"We've been framed!"

The governor of the Russian state sneered.

"Injustice?"

"Our satellite surveillance captured it clearly, and Da Xia has also released the reason."

"The missile was launched from your territory!"

The European governor interrupted him.

"Damn it! Shut up, we don't have time for your nonsense!"

"I'm only giving you ten minutes!"

"If Great Xia does not cease its nuclear annexation efforts, we will also launch a nuclear annexation and perish together!"

As European countries shut down communications, all video windows were closed one after another.

They're all in a mess right now, they don't have time to talk nonsense here, making arrangements for their funerals is the most important thing.

Mars stood there dumbfounded, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

His hands trembled slightly.

"This...this can't be...God must be playing a joke on us, right?"

"Beep beep beep—"

Just then, the communications station rang again.

The technician's voice trembled as he said:

"Your Excellency the Consul..."

"It's a video request from parliament and the military..."

Mars felt a jolt in his heart, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Bring them in."
