CHAPTER 191 — THE ROAR THAT SHATTERED CITIES
The order was given.
It did not tremble.
It did not hesitate.
"Fire."
Across mountains, coastlines, and scorched highways, missile silos opened like iron flowers under a jade sky.
Jets screamed overhead in formation, afterburners blazing through emerald haze.
Armored divisions aligned in layered defensive grids along the dragon's projected path.
This was not panic anymore.
This was war.
The Jade Dragon moved slowly.
Deliberately.
Its body coiled across the horizon like a mountain range in motion, emerald veins pulsing through its crystalline scales. Every step reshaped terrain beneath it. Every wingbeat sent shockwaves rippling outward in visible rings.
It was not rushing.
It was advancing.
General Rao stood in the war chamber beneath kilometers of reinforced earth.
"Full saturation. No staggered release."
On his mark—
The sky ignited.
Hundreds of missiles launched simultaneously.
From land.
From sea.
