Just then, someone shouted, and everyone, including Greg Jensen, turned their gaze to the screen. Indeed, the nuclear weapon was ready and had entered the final countdown to launch.

Everyone held their breath, counting down in their hearts. They knew that this nuclear strike would either succeed or spell their demise; victory or defeat hung in the balance of this single move!

If even nuclear weapons couldn’t suppress those ferocious beasts in Shadow Province, it was feared that no one in the world would be capable of dealing with them.

“Boom!!”

Suddenly, amid the thunderous roars, five of the latest nuclear weapons shot out nearly simultaneously, spewing sparks over the ground and rocketing into the sky.

With the aid of satellite monitoring, the simulated images showed the five nuclear missiles hurtling towards Shadow Province at speeds visible to the naked eye.

In less than a minute, the nuclear weapons launched by the International Joint Defense Center had all struck parts of Shadow Province.

The towering mushroom clouds rose, a scene of apocalyptic destruction!

This nuclear attack primarily covered five large grasslands, with a total area of over six hundred thousand square meters. This estimate didn’t even include the additional affected area from the explosion’s aftermath, the horrific extent of which was unimaginable!

“Hiss! Surely the ferocious beasts are doomed this time, aren’t they, Dragon King? Five nuclear missiles striking this area should ensure nothing grows there again!”

“I think so too. If they can still survive after that, then we truly have no way to counter them!”

“Shadow Province has paid a heavy price this time. If the Beast King isn’t dead, the losses will be even greater.”

In the Dragon King’s Palace, everyone speculated about the outcome, believing that this operation would surely deal an effective blow to the ferocious beasts, or at the very least, slow down their consumption of other territories.

Greg Jensen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the control room screens at the International Joint Defense Center.

What went unsaid was that whether the Beast King was annihilated was still a matter to be confirmed by their word. After all, they had already contacted the local officials and could detect any signs of the beasts’ presence at any moment.

At this moment, celebrations had already started prematurely around the world:

“Wakaka, those beasts must finally realize the strength of our Human Clan now!”

“Shadow Province has made a huge contribution. If they need money for reconstruction, we’ll all chip in!”

“If we weren’t worried about an even larger area being damaged, we could have easily launched over a hundred nuclear missiles in one go!”

“Damn beasts, it’s time to send them off with a goodbye!”

As everyone eagerly awaited the outcome.

The International Joint Defense Center had already started contacting local officials.

“How is it? Can you still detect any trace of the Beast Tribe in that area?”

One of the commanders asked anxiously, his palms sweating.

Hearing this question, everyone looked over, waiting for the response.

In order to eradicate the Beast King, they had paid a heavy price. Not to mention other costs, just these five new nuclear weapons had expended over three hundred billion dollars.

They had mobilized top-tier personnel from all over, being meticulous from top to bottom and inside out.

“Buzz, buzz–”

A strong interference came through the communication device.

After a moment, a crackling sound drew closer. Even though the officials in Shadow Province were located far from the explosion’s epicenter, it was evident from this that they too were affected by the blast’s aftermath.

The commander at the International Alliance Center asked again:

“`

“Hurry up with the checks and report the situation! Is there any scent of the Ferocious Beasts remaining at the center of the explosion? The entire nation is waiting for your answer!”

“Buzz… Situation… The situation is bad… Buzz!”

The communication device on the other side was still fluctuating violently, but answers were now audible.

“Bad? What… what exactly is happening? What is the situation over there?”

“We’ve just detected that, while the explosion from the firepower covered a wide area, most of the Ferocious Beasts have hidden underground, more than a kilometer deep. The nuclear explosion didn’t inflict any substantial damage on them!”

“What? No, that’s impossible! Those beasts couldn’t have known we were going to bomb them, how could they have all moved underground in advance?”

For a moment, all the commanders and staff at the International Joint Defense Center were stunned.

Obviously, they hadn’t anticipated that the Beast King and the various Alien Beasts of the Shadow Province’s great plains had not only survived their bombardment but had all taken shelter underground.

It seemed the damage was insubstantial, as if someone had tipped them off in advance.

Did this mean that the five new nuclear weapons they had carefully prepared had all been for naught?

Boom!!

This piece of news struck like a sudden blow to the hearts of countless netizens on the internet!

“Damn! What are you playing at? Don’t tell me that satellite technology can’t detect what’s on the ground?!”

“Exactly! Why didn’t you use satellites to check their positions before firing?”

“Crap, such a letdown! I thought the disaster was finally over!”

“I’ve been watching the screen for nearly two hours, and this is the result?”

“You’re kidding me? What kind of species is that Beast King to be so prescient?”

“It’s all over now! We hit them with five nukes, the Beast Tribe will probably become even more aggressive!”

In response to the netizens’ doubts, the International Joint Defense Center issued an answer, stating that before the launch, they had indeed used satellites to check the surface conditions.

At that time, there were a large number of Ferocious Beasts on the surface; although it was unknown which one was the Beast King, there was no indication that they had taken refuge underground beforehand.

Unfortunately, such an explanation did little to appease everyone; on the contrary, they felt that the response was irresponsible because nuclear weapons would leave radiation on the vast grasslands of the Shadow Province for decades, if not centuries.

“Lord Dragon King, this… it really turned out just as you predicted. The five nuclear weapons had no effect on them!”

Greg Jensen and the others looked at each other, their expressions extremely grim, feeling greatly dissatisfied with the actions of the International Alliance Center.

Because they could have thoroughly surveyed the actual surface conditions before making a decision.

This clearly demonstrated a lack of regard for the people of Shadow Province, or rather, they had played the local officials for fools!

Greg Jensen frowned, “In the coming time, make sure you secure the border! The Beast Tribe territory contains severe radiation which could potentially lead to more severe riots and there’s also a chance of mutation!”

All in all, no matter in which direction they evolve, it’s incredibly detrimental to the Human Clan.

Now, the only thing the Eight Countries in Southeast could do was to fend for themselves, try to stay unaffected by the Beast Tribe’s riots, and then slowly figure out a solution to this problem.

Ratatat!!

Just then, a subordinate rushed in hurriedly from outside. As he saw the grim-faced Lord Dragon King and General Fox, he knelt on the ground with a thud:

“Not… not good, our goods have been intercepted!”
