# Chapter 1760: The Battle of the Capital! The Heavenly Eye That Opened in the East
Jiangnan was defending the city in Jiang City, slaughtering wave after wave of beast tides!
But the battlefield at Huaxia's Capital was unprecedented in its intensity!
Because this was Huaxia's strategic center, equivalent to the brain!
The Capital could not be lost under any circumstances!
Too many important facilities were built here; even if the entire nation had to evacuate and relocate, the Capital had to be held!
This was a land of faith, the very root of Huaxia!
Since the evacuation order came from the Capital, and the work efficiency was extremely fast!
From the outbreak of the spirit calamity until now, at daybreak, most of the over twenty million citizens in the city had completed their evacuation!
They were basically all stuffed into the Capital Spirit Martial's Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins and the Hot Pot Hot Spring Spirit Ruins!
The defense line had collapsed multiple times; everything beyond the Fifth Ring Road had been lost!
Using reinforced concrete city buildings as foundations, countless Spirit Martial engineer troops had built walls over a hundred meters tall to block the beast tide attacks!
Large numbers of Spirit Martial troops were fighting outside!
Trucks transporting weapons and ammunition roared down the streets, while teams of Spirit Martial troops charged over the walls!
The wounded were continuously carried back and sent to temporary field hospitals for treatment. Once healed, they grabbed their guns and went right back up!
In the air, hundreds of armed helicopters frantically fired Spirit-Binding Bullets, hypersonic fighter jets roared past, dropping powerful aerial bombs on the beast hordes!
Occasionally, helicopters were blown up by flying spirit beasts, and in the sky, large numbers of Spirit Martial troops stepped on flying swords and hoverboards, fighting aerial spirit beasts!
The battle had been fought from nightfall until daybreak, and it still wasn't over—it was growing even more intense!
The Capital not only had to withstand attacks from all directions, but also had to coordinate all battlefields across the entire territory!
At first, the situation was manageable. Even though communication fiber optics and signal towers were destroyed by the beast tide, satellite communications were still usable!
But gradually, satellite communications also became unusable—all satellites under Huaxia's control had gone offline!
No one knew what had happened!
With communications cut, Huaxia's major battlefields were instantly isolated!
The Capital couldn't send out messages, nor could it receive them!
It was like the brain was still there, but the central nervous network had been severed; it couldn't control its own body!
When wartime messages couldn't be transmitted in time, it was like being completely deaf and blind!
The situation instantly reached a critical point!
At first, Yang Jian could still send fighter jets to deliver messages and scout the situation!
But very few of the planes sent out ever returned—after all, there was no shortage of flying spirit beasts!
With no other choice, Yang Jian could only send the Shadow Assassin Squad and Nightingale to convey orders. Since the war began, Nightingale's legs were almost worn out!
But the efficiency simply wasn't enough. However fast Nightingale was, could she cover all of Huaxia?
The originally highly modernized communication system had been beaten back to primitive times. Now they had to rely on runners and shouting to pass messages!
For example, one battlefield might urgently need reinforcements, while another had already completed its evacuation and had spare personnel!
Timely deployment of people to help could save many lives!
But now, Yang Jian was completely in the dark, unable to attend to everything. He didn't even know the exact locations of the Beast Martial troops or the Pupil Clan mercenaries!
At this moment, Yang Jian could only do everything in his power to coordinate, and he was going crazy with work!
Meanwhile, Old Master Di Rui had taken over command of the entire Capital battlefield!
Since satellites were gone, they used drone aerial photography to project the entire battlefield onto a large screen!
Di Rui's face was sallow, with dark circles under his eyes, as he stared intently at the giant screen!
"Yuqing, call the Red Dragon's Seventh Squad to reinforce Sector 41! The situation there is critical!"
"The Western Fifth Ring defensive wall is breached! Send the Engineering Corps Class A to plug the gap!"
"Notify Zhao Dezhu, pull the beast tide toward the 5 o'clock direction! Wang Zong, kill harder! Liu Cuicui, put a heal on Sector 17; they can't hold out much longer!"
"A beast horde is coming from the west! Let Ye Zhenguo and Li Kai go hold the line! Let them in slowly!"
Orders were issued methodically, and standing beside Di Rui was Zhou Yuqing!
After communications were cut off, Zhou Yuqing, as a rare brainwave-type spirit warrior, was directly transferred into the command room to contact all parts of the battlefield!
She transmitted messages via brainwaves directly to everyone fighting on the battlefield!
Zhou Yuqing relayed the messages verbatim!
Her face was pale, and a stream of bright red blood trickled from her nose, dripping onto the floor!
She was only at Platinum rank; covering the entire battlefield with her brainwaves was already a stretch. With prolonged high-intensity output, she had long been overloaded!
Di Rui's eyes were full of heartache, but he still gritted his teeth: "Yuqing, hang in there a little longer!"
He didn't tell her to take a rest, because if she stopped, the speed of command transmission would slow down!
In war, timeliness was crucial. Even half a beat late could cost countless lives!
Zhou Yuqing gave a gentle smile and shook her head: "It's okay, Grandpa Di. My role isn't very big. I'm already happy to be able to help!"
"I'm not tired! Not at all! You don't need to worry about me. With so many soldiers outside risking their lives, what's this compared to that?"
"I... the west! Another large beast horde is coming from the west! Also from the south!"
Zhou Yuqing's voice became urgent!
Di Rui's expression hardened: "Notify the Dragon Abyss Base! Activate missile silos 17 through 27!"
"Conduct a carpet bombing of the Capital's surroundings! Have the soldiers withdraw behind the defense line first!"
Zhou Yuqing was horrified: "Ah? Ten missiles? That many?"
She naturally knew what those were—the warheads of intercontinental missiles carried radiation-free hydrogen bombs!
Di Rui squinted: "If we don't use them now, we won't even have the chance! First, blast this wave back!"
Zhou Yuqing didn't dare delay and quickly relayed the order!
At the military base, ten missile silos opened their covers. With a roar, ten intercontinental missiles lifted off, their tails spewing blazing flames!
They bombed the beast tide gathering points around the Capital!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky was dyed white-hot by the exploding radiation-free hydrogen bombs, and the drifting clouds were torn apart!
The earth trembled violently, and the shockwaves heavily slammed against the defensive city walls!
The vibrations were so intense that Zhou Yuqing thought her heart would explode!
One wave of nuclear suppression gave the Capital battlefield a chance to catch its breath!
Di Rui turned his gaze to Yang Jian!
"Xiao Jian! Still not done yet? Any news?"
Yang Jian's eyes were bloodshot: "Nightingale! The medicine? Did you get it back?"
A strong wind swept through the command room. Nightingale, her body soaked with sweat, her legs trembling, was gasping for breath!
She shoved a handful of medicine into Yang Jian's hands: "Brother Jian! Ice God said don't use too much, or your head will..."
But Yang Jian grabbed that blue tube of medicine and, without caring, stabbed it directly into his carotid artery!
In the next instant, an extremely wild and restless aura burst forth from Yang Jian's body!
"Pthah!"
A large mouthful of blood sprayed from Yang Jian's mouth. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with red blood vessels!
Nightingale was frantic: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Heavens! You can't use all of it! Sister Li Bing said..."
Yang Jian wiped the blood from his nose, his face full of ferocity: "Ice God's stuff has always been this potent!"
"Don't worry! If I couldn't use it all, she wouldn't have given me this dosage. She's letting me choose!"
"Brain Domain Overclock!"
The next moment, all glassware in the command room shattered, and a heavy pressure burst forth from Yang Jian's mind!
"Boom!"
With a blast, Yang Jian broke through to Dao Heaven on the spot after that one injection!
Infinite spiritual energy converged toward him!
Yang Jian gritted his steel teeth, enduring the excruciating headache!
"I've been stuck at Starlight Peak for so long. It's time for Dao Heaven. Perfect timing!"
"Divine Eye! Open!"
In the next instant, the vertical eye on Yang Jian's forehead snapped open, and a trail of bloody tears flowed down between his brows!
His pupil was a glassy color, and his eyes were shot through with blood vessels!
"Heavenly Eye! Open!"
Infinite divine light burst forth from the vertical eye on Yang Jian's forehead, shooting straight into the sky!
At that moment, a massive eye pupil phantom, a full ten thousand meters in diameter, appeared above the Capital!
Everyone noticed the giant eye opening in the sky!
Nightingale was utterly shocked, her scalp tingling!
(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ‧̣̥̇) "So... this is the true Eastern Eye?"
An eye opened in the East! Gazing upon the battlefield, upon every corner of Huaxia!
The giant Heavenly Eye's pupil rotated rapidly, frantically collecting information from everywhere and sending it back into Yang Jian's mind!
The entire territory of Huaxia was within Yang Jian's sight!
Since they cut off my communications, I'll just use my eyes to see for myself!
After advancing to Dao Heaven, all of Yang Jian's spirit techniques had evolved comprehensively, combined with the boost from the Ice God serum!
Now, Yang Jian could barely manage to gaze upon Huaxia!
As the chief dispatcher, did losing communications mean you could defeat me? No way!
Even if he had to die, he would fulfill his duty!
At this moment, Yang Jian saw the Tree of Life in Luo City, saw Jiangnan breaking through the wall of corpses in Jiang City, saw the Beast Martial troops rushing between cities to save the day!
Luo Jiaoyang leading the Luo family in a desperate battle at Kun City! Bei Qiu using the God-Slaying Spell Array to defend Ning City! Wang Dalei, like a madman, charging toward the next city, tearing a gap through the beast tide!
So much, so much...
The situation on all battlefields across Huaxia was fully captured, shocking and yet stirring!
His mind processed an enormous amount of information. Blood dripped from Yang Jian's nose without stop!
But his eyes were filled with hot tears!
Through visual sharing, Yang Jian relayed dispatch messages one by one, issuing orders, rationally allocating forces and personnel!
When Yang Jian's voice resounded in people's minds, the soldiers roared with excitement!
We haven't been abandoned! Huaxia is still here! Home is still here!
Yang Jian endured the excruciating pain as if his head was about to split, his eyes stinging as if they would go blind!
But he refused to close his eyes for even a moment. He had to carve every scene into his mind! Remember it all!
"Go and fight! This will not be an unwitnessed war! Your existence will not be buried, and everything you do will not be forgotten!"
"I am right here, watching you! Witnessing all of this firsthand!"
"The spirit calamity cannot defeat Huaxia! Everyone is giving their all! Shedding blood! Defending their homeland! Protecting the people!"
"Everyone is like this! How could Huaxia possibly lose!"
