Jimmy from India stood quietly to the side, watching Okada's predicament with a smile.
A sense of schadenfreude welled up inside him. Doka looked at the furious Okada before him.

At this moment, he was filled with contempt, feeling that Okada, the commander of the Red Cake Kingdom, was utterly lacking in strategy.
He only possesses brute strength and a volatile temper, and has no idea how to navigate situations in crucial moments.

Doka looked at Okada helplessly and said, "Why won't you answer my question? Is it because you can't answer, or because you don't have any evidence?"

"Let me tell you, our three kingdoms are allies. It is truly disappointing that you now doubt us so much."

"What gives you the right to do this? Who gave you this authority?"

At this critical moment, Meng Yu rushed to Yang Xia's side.

Yang Xia looked up and saw Meng Yu's hurried demeanor, and asked with concern, "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Meng Yu replied with a beaming smile, "Your Majesty... I have received the latest news that the Chinese fleet is about to arrive, and I have come to report this to you."

"What are Your Majesty's instructions on this matter, and what preparations should we make now?"

"I believe now is the time to act, otherwise we may miss this opportunity and delay Your Majesty's grand plan."

Upon hearing Meng Yu's reminder, Yang Xia couldn't help but smile.

He had finally waited for this moment; the Chinese fleet was about to arrive, and their plan was about to be put into practice.

With a joyful expression, Yang Xia instructed Meng Yu, "Of course we should begin preparations now that the Chinese fleet is about to arrive."

"Pass this message down immediately, instructing the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty to prepare for our welcome with utmost hospitality and courtesy."

"We must let the Chinese fleet feel the respect and love that the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty have for them."

"At the same time, you are responsible for leading the Imperial Guard to ensure security. This is of utmost importance and directly relates to our next plan."

"We must not allow those with ill intentions to take advantage of the situation. It would be a great pity if the plan were to be ruined at this time."

"At this critical moment, we must act cautiously and not give the other side any opportunity to take advantage of us."

Yang Xia solemnly instructed Meng Yu that all the work should proceed in an orderly manner.

There could be no mistakes or oversights, and Yang Xia was meticulously arranging all of this.

"Reporting... Your Majesty, I have urgent news to report to you." A soldier rushed in.

Yang Xia frowned slightly, looked up at the flustered soldier and asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly."

The soldier respectfully said to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty... the leader of the Atlan Empire, Doka, has suddenly come to visit."

"I have been waiting outside for a long time, saying I have something important to discuss with you."

“We didn’t want to let him in, but he claimed he had important business to attend to, and we dared not make the decision on our own, for fear of delaying His Majesty’s business.”

"Therefore I have come to report this, and I urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible on whether or not to let him in."

Yang Xia was astonished upon hearing the soldier's report.

"What... Doka, the leader of the Atlan Empire? What brings him here at this time?" Yang Xia asked, full of doubt.

The soldiers were also bewildered, unaware of Doka's purpose in coming.

Yang Xia began to speculate, genuinely curious as to what important matter the leader of the Atlan Empire, Doka, had come to see him at this time.

Logically speaking, the Atlantean Empire's fleet must be extremely frustrated now that it has suffered repeated setbacks.

It seemed as if the heavens were intentionally or unintentionally helping the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the impact and influence on their three-kingdom alliance should not be underestimated.

It was precisely because of their repeated setbacks that their hostility towards the Great Zhou Dynasty intensified to some extent.

Therefore, the two sides are currently irreconcilable, and any direct friction could trigger a formal confrontation and war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

Therefore, during this extremely sensitive period, Doka, the absolute leader of the Atlan Empire, took the initiative to visit Yang Xia in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made Yang Xia feel that "a weasel paying respects to a chicken is up to no good."

Although he felt something was off, Yang Xia was not one to back down from trouble. Since he had already used the weather controller against them, it was clear that their interests were aligned and they were destined to be enemies.

As for everything else, Yang Xia placed them in a secondary position in his plans.

After careful consideration, Yang Xia became quite curious about Doka's purpose.

Yang Xia turned to the soldier and said, "Go and bring him in. I will personally receive him and see what his intentions are."

"If I don't meet him in person, I feel I'll be doing myself a disservice. What is the purpose of my coming here?"

A sly smile appeared on Yang Xia's face, while Meng Yu, who was standing to the side, was about to persuade Yang Xia.

Seeing Yang Xia's confident demeanor, one could guess that Yang Xia might already have a plan in mind.

He couldn't say much, so he could only silently agree with Yang Xia's decision.

Yang Xia straightened his clothes briefly, preparing to personally greet Doka, the leader of the Atlan Empire.

Yang Xia quickly stepped forward to greet him, and upon recognizing the newcomer as Doka, the leader of the Atlan Empire…

Yang Xia tried to calm himself down and greeted him very politely, asking with a smile, "It's a rare treat to have the leader here. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Just say what's on your mind. I'd like to hear what important thing you need to talk to me about."

Although Yang Xia's tone was polite, his words revealed a sharp edge.

Seeing Yang Xia's directness, Doka, the leader of the Atlan Empire, could no longer pretend to be polite.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Yang Xia, saying, "Yang Xia... I have indeed come here today to discuss important matters with you."

"Hahaha……"

Yang Xia looked at Duoka, laughed, and asked, "What important matter could it be that would trouble the chief to make this trip in person?"

Doka hesitated for a moment, but eventually revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Yang Xia... My main purpose in coming here today is to ease tensions between our two countries."

"A lot has happened recently, including some misunderstandings, and I think we should clear them up."

"Furthermore, I have a big project I'd like to collaborate on with you, which is why I came here in person. I hope you'll consider my proposal."

The leader of the Atlan Empire revealed the purpose of their trip, which Yang Xia found utterly ridiculous.

"Humph……"

Yang Xia sneered, looked up at Doka, and asked, "Chief... I'd like to hear what this big project you're talking about is all about."

"I am indeed quite curious about this project. I hope you can tell me more about it and see if I'm interested in participating." "What exactly do you mean by 'major project' in your eyes, Chief?"

Yang Xia spoke to Doka in a mocking tone, having already seen through Doka's thoughts.

He knew that Doka had no good intentions in coming to him at this time.

Yang Xia was somewhat annoyed. He looked at Doka with a mocking expression and said, "Chief... do you mean that your alliance with the Red Cake Kingdom and India to fight against my Great Zhou Dynasty can be considered a cooperative project?"

"I really don't understand. I wonder how the leader plans to proceed with this major project?"

"Perhaps I am short-sighted and have failed to understand the leader's profound meaning. Please enlighten me, leader."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Doka immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

He quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Yang Xia... we did this back then simply because we didn't want the Great Zhou Dynasty to become too powerful."

"We had no other choice but to resort to this measure, and we hope you can understand our predicament."

“We don’t want to make a strong enemy at this time. Who would want to do that? My presence here today is enough to show our sincerity.”

"Therefore, we hope that the Great Zhou Dynasty can give us this opportunity. If you are willing to join our alliance, I guarantee that we will fight against foreign enemies together."

When Yang Xia heard that Doka had directly invited the Great Zhou Dynasty, which he led, to join their Three Kingdoms Alliance, it was as if he had heard an extremely absurd joke.

It's like a wolf and a sheep. The wolf always wants to devour the sheep, but the sheep always manages to escape the wolf's attacks. In the end, the wolf is exhausted and comes to the sheep to make peace, hoping that the sheep will form an alliance with it.

This strategy is so obvious that even a fool could figure it out; it's not something a normal person could come up with.

Yang Xia not only felt helpless, but also found it very funny.

"So, you mean the alliance you three formed wasn't actually aimed at my Great Zhou Dynasty? You joined forces against the Great Zhou Dynasty just to put pressure on me and force me to join your alliance?"

Yang Xia's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

This Doka, he'll say anything to achieve his goal!

Although Yang Xia understood what Doka meant, he still pretended not to understand in front of Doka.

Yang Xia slowly walked up to Doka and asked with a curious look, "Chief... I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Doka quickly looked up at him and said, "Go ahead and ask."

Yang Xia smiled slightly and said, "May I ask, Chief, who does your Atlantean Empire intend to deal with this time?"

"I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Chief, to tell me, so that I can see your sincerity. I really have no idea about this big project you mentioned."

Yang Xia stared intently at Doka, awaiting his answer.

Yang Xia looked Doka up and down with a curious gaze, while Doka was completely unaware of the deep connection between Yang Xia of the Great Zhou Dynasty and China...

Upon hearing Yang Xia's question, Doka stared at Yang Xia excitedly and said, "Then naturally it's about joining forces to deal with China. Could it be that besides China, there are other foreign enemies worth dealing with?"

"Oh... Chief, why don't you explain in detail why you want to take action against China?" Yang Xia pretended not to know and continued to probe.

He tested Doka time and time again, but Doka was completely unaware of Yang Xia's intentions.

Doka looked at Yang Xia with great interest and said, "The country of China is thousands of miles away, with fertile land and abundant resources."

"If you join our alliance, we can work together to deal with China. Once we combine the strength of several countries, we will definitely make a fortune in the end."

Doka spoke with great enthusiasm, revealing his true purpose in seeking out Yang Xia—his so-called "big business deal." Yang Xia had actually anticipated this, but he never expected that Doka, the leader of the Atlantean Empire, would be so shameless.

It turns out that his ultimate goal was to unite with other countries to deal with China.

To think they would come knocking at this critical juncture! Yang Xia looked up at the utterly foolish Doka, his anger burning.

Unexpectedly, the Atlan Empire allied with India and the Red Cake Kingdom to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and had always been wary of the Great Zhou Dynasty's growth and expansion.

Now that the spearhead has been turned against China, Yang Xia sneered and slowly said to Doka, "I really didn't expect the Atlantean Empire to have such great ambitions."

"You actually managed to unite with other countries to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now you've turned your attention to the Huaxia Kingdom. Your change of attitude is too fast."

"This really caught me off guard. China is thousands of miles away, yet you dare to set your sights on it."

"It seems you had all this planned out long ago. This is truly an eye-opener for me."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Doka revealed a smug smile, as if his plan was flawless.

But he didn't understand Yang Xia's true intentions at all; Doka never even considered the close connection between China and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Perhaps he had never considered this question, which is why he dared to speak so frankly in front of Yang Xia.

Just as Doka was getting excited, Yang Xia's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Clap clap..."

He rushed up to Doka and slapped him hard across the face several times.

Doka was completely taken aback; he didn't know why Yang Xia had hit him.

Doka angrily questioned, "Yang Xia... are you crazy? Why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong?"

"I am also thinking of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do you really want to oppose us? You should think it through."

Doka is still spouting nonsense here, pinning his last hope on Yang Xia, hoping to achieve his own goals.

Seeing that Duoka was unrepentant, Yang Xia was instantly enraged and could no longer suppress his impulse.

Yang Xia cursed loudly, "Bastard... If I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't know your own worth."

"Get out of my sight... Get out of my sight right now, I never want to see you again, you despicable and shameless scoundrel."

"My Great Zhou Dynasty disdains cooperating with people like you, and will never stoop to your level. You should give up any illusions about my Great Zhou Dynasty."

With that, an enraged Yang Xia kicked Doka out of the main hall. Because Yang Xia used too much force, and Doka didn't dodge in time.

Doka let out a scream, and when everyone looked over, they found that Doka's head had hit the steps next to him, and he was bleeding profusely from his head.

The scene was intense and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Doka looked up at Yang Xia angrily and demanded, "What exactly do you want to do? Why did you attack me?"

"I only came here to negotiate with you, I meant no harm, yet you treat me like this, don't you know what the consequences will be?"

Hearing Doka's question, Yang Xia said irritably, "Consequences...what serious consequences? Tell me then." (End of Chapter)
