Chapter 7703
Barlin was naturally delighted. If they went with Kohei's plan, he at least wouldn't be hunted down or killed… Even if it meant losing the Griffin Winter Manor.He would then find somewhere to lie low and think of a way to leave the South Pole once this nonsense blew over.And if he couldn't leave before winter ended, he could just find someplace quiet, dig a hole deeper than what they had managed before.Barlin initially considered infiltrating an unoccupied research station to take temporary shelter, but soon remembered that even those were littered with cameras and such.He didn't understand modern technology, so what if he unknowingly walked right into a trap?Therefore, digging a hole in the ice became the best solution he could think of.The Antarctic ice sheet was thousands of feet thick, but despite the freezing climate, he would feel much better avoiding the blizzard and gales.Moreover, igloos had always been an excellent choice for protection in polar regions. Althoug
Chapter 7702
Being Barlin's most loyal servant, Kohei didn't show contempt or disappointment towards Barlin's self-doubt.Instead, he gave it to him straight, "That depends on whether they find you and decide to attack you, my lord."That only left Barlin fuming—talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place!If he had to attack, that meant wiping out the combined forces of the Americans and the Japanese. It was possible, but only if he avoided the initial firearms and artillery volley, closing the distance for a melee.But he wasn't dealing with the defenseless Japanese research crew now, but the Americans' regular military force.That means every moment of their operations would be communicated in real-time through satellite feeds, observed by high command.It was just different from how things were a century ago—back then, he could simply wipe out a full-fledged legion, and no one would be the wiser as dead men tell no tales. However, that wasn't the case now. He could still kil

Barlin's convoy never noticed anything, even when the Americans were just a couple of miles away and closing in, but Barlin himself was sharp enough to sense them.Hearing the rumble and feeling the vibration of diesel engines, he paled and cried out, "Incoming! At least… eight cars!""Really?" Kohei was baffled. "Looks quiet to me, my lord."Barlin gritted his teeth grimly. "Oh, you will see them too soon enough. I have a bad feeling about this… It's like a viper has its eyes on me.""What?!" Kohei blurted in shock. "Wait, they could have locked on to us already?!""Locked on…?" Barline repeated, frowning. "As in, they know where we are?!"Kohei nodded. "Yes! This is basically a civilian vehicle so radar lock is easy. Once locked, we're not getting away." Barlin promptly bellowed, "Then move! Turn south and go as fast as you can! Shake them off!"The driver did as told, spinning the wheel to turn the tractor around as the rest of the convoy followed at top speed.However, th
Chapter 7700
It would still take at least five days for Barlin to return to the Griffin Winter Manor.On the other hand, the second transport fleet the Americans sent had already arrived, camping at the only path between Barlin's convoy and the Japanese research base.This time, they weren't airdropping personally but multiple M1128 Strykers and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), along with supporting recon vehicles. The Strykers were equipped with miniguns, grenade launchers, and a 105mm tank gun barrel capable of covering anything the HIMARS couldn't hit. In addition, the reconnaissance vehicles were equipped with high-power, high-precision radar capable of detecting and locking onto mobile targets from dozens of miles away for precision strikes. After landing safely, these vehicles immediately took cover behind a hill, with their radars operating at full power as they waited in ambush for the Japanese convoy. Goro and the Japanese negotiating team would arrive on th

Barlin nodded in agreement. "You're right. You're all my loyal lackeys who'd never betray me… Even so, there's no assurance that the Japanese government somehow noticed something strange because someone made a mistake. It has been a long trip to get here anyway, and there's inevitably some tiny slip-up in between."Kohei nodded emphatically. "We've done our best to prevent our government from noticing anything. But there's only that much prudence and technology can achieve—there's no such thing as being a hundred percent sure."Barlin sighed nervously. "If my hunch is right, both the Americans and Japan know about us, so they would definitely come to investigate. That means the American army will chase us all the way back to my manor, and that's going to be bothersome…"Kohei nodded again. "Your concerns might not be unwarranted, my lord. If the government finds out, they would deem us all hostile and investigate what happened.Barlin asked nervously, "What about me? What should I
Chapter 7698
Even as Barlin fled in panic, he never could have expected to find himself fleeing before he even made his attempt to invade and bend the American Antarctic research crew to his will.On the way back to Griffin Winter Manor, he cursed under his breath, "Goddamn Americans. It's not that big of a deal, but they are sending in their whole goddamn army!"A century ago, he really wouldn't worry about having to fight an army—guns and artillery were no threat for a cultivator of his caliber.But after going into seclusion, he returned only to be informed that modern firepower had surpassed what cultivation could ever achieve, with their ordnance now capable of flattening entire cities.He also heard that one of the Qing Eliminating Society earls had been killed by something called a CIWS. The man had stood valiantly after a few rounds, but the hundred shots that came after shot him into tiny pieces.That was why even Barlin didn't hesitate to run, leaving the ever-loyal Kohei frowning in
