By then, it will be even more difficult for them to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, Akagi-kun, sighed and said, "It seems that's the only way. We absolutely cannot let them spread the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Otherwise, it would be a fatal blow to our Red Cake Kingdom, and we would have even less chance to take revenge."

"At that time, we will be at the mercy of others. I believe you know this very well, so I don't need to say more."

“You have caused such great losses to the Red Cake Kingdom this time, and you should also take responsibility for it.”

When Okada heard Akagi say those words, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

Looking at Akagi-kun with a serious expression, he said, "Boss... I, Okada, hereby pledge my loyalty."

"I will also prove with my actions that as long as the leader gives me a chance, I will definitely not let the leader down."

"Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will definitely seek justice for the Red Cake Kingdom."

Seeing Okada's attitude, Akagi felt that this was the only chance.

He nodded slowly, looked at Okada and said, "Alright then... since you insist, I will grant your request."

"I hope you remember what you said today and don't go back on your word, so that we can save some face for our Red Cake Kingdom."

Okada nodded slowly, then turned and left, but he was under immense pressure and had been harboring anger for a long time.

His feelings were extremely complicated as he pondered how to make amends for the mistake he had made.

However, for the Great Zhou Dynasty, thanks to a wise leader like Yang Xia, who consistently spared no effort in innovating strategies and refining technology, the Great Zhou Dynasty maintained a balanced development trend in the economic field and other aspects, continuously improving and steadily moving forward.

Its overall strength is increasing day by day, which is why the transaction with the Huaxia team was able to proceed exceptionally smoothly.

This pleased both Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming greatly, and their discussions proceeded smoothly.

Sun Zhengming gazed at Yang Xia with gratitude and said, "I never expected that your long journey to the Great Zhou Dynasty would allow us to experience its unique aspects and gain a completely new understanding of it."

"I feel that this trip has been very rewarding. I have not only learned a lot, but also deeply felt the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Sun Zhengming recounted the story with great interest, while Yang Xia listened with delight.

The two smiled at each other, instantly understanding each other's intentions, and their tacit understanding deepened once again.

Not only did Sun Zhengming's view of the Great Zhou Dynasty change, but all the merchants in the entire Huaxia fleet also praised the Great Zhou Dynasty after setting foot in it.

They all praised Yang Xia and the Great Zhou Dynasty, feeling that this was a truly unexpected surprise.

Sun Zhengming felt very gratified to see everyone praising him.

"Your Majesty... to be honest, I am truly overjoyed. It is a great blessing for China to have an ally like the Great Zhou Dynasty."

“By the way… I suddenly had an idea, and I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing?” Sun Zhengming looked at Yang Xia and asked tentatively.

Upon hearing Sun Zhengming's words, Yang Xia immediately became interested.

He looked at Sun Zhengming with curiosity and asked, "Lord Sun, please speak freely... I wonder what new ideas you have."

Sun Zhengming smiled slightly and said to Yang Xia, "I would like to invite Your Majesty to visit our Huaxia fleet. I wonder if Your Majesty would do me the honor? On behalf of all merchants, I sincerely invite you."

Upon hearing Sun Zhengming's words, Yang Xia showed a satisfied expression and replied without hesitation, "Of course I'm willing. I'm also very curious about this mysterious country of China and have always wanted to know what their fleet looks like. It has always been a mystery in my heart."

"Since Lord Sun has extended such a warm invitation, I will gladly accept."

Sun Zhengming was overjoyed to see Yang Xia readily agree.

Under Sun Zhengming's guidance, Yang Xia visited the Huaxia Kingdom's fleet with great interest.

When Yang Xia carefully examined these ships, he noticed that while they appeared sturdy, they lacked even the most basic defensive support. Without rudimentary armor, these ships would likely encounter various unforeseen troubles during their voyages, and might even find themselves in danger.

Yang Xia saw these problems at a glance, but he did not hide them. He felt that he should tell Sun Zhengming about these drawbacks, which might be helpful for their upcoming voyage.

Yang Xia turned around and said to Sun Zhengming with a serious expression, "Lord Sun... to be honest, I have indeed discovered some problems with these ships."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengming looked up at Yang Xia with surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, please speak... I wonder what exactly is wrong with these ships. I hope Your Majesty can enlighten me."

Yang Xia smiled slightly and pointed to the ships, saying, "Judging from their appearance, these ships are indeed sturdy and there is nothing wrong with them."

"But I found that they lacked the most basic defensive support, and there was no simple internal armor, which was the biggest problem."

"If these ships do not have basic armor, they are likely to encounter various problems during their voyage, which could lead to danger."

"If Lord Sun doesn't mind, I can help the Chinese fleet upgrade and eliminate these hidden dangers."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Sun Zhengming couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. He did not refuse Yang Xia's kindness, but instead readily agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... On behalf of all the merchants of the Huaxia Fleet, I thank Your Majesty for your generous assistance."

"If Your Majesty can truly eliminate the hidden dangers of these ships, it will be of great help to us."

When Yang Xia saw that Sun Zhengming had agreed to his request, he immediately arranged for the craftsmen of the Great Zhou Dynasty to process the parts of the Huaxia fleet according to his own design drawings, and began to modify the Huaxia fleet in order to fulfill his promise to Sun Zhengming.

While the craftsmen were busy modifying ship parts, Yang Xia didn't let himself have a moment to rest either.

He began working tirelessly, personally designing armor for the entire team, hoping that with everyone's joint efforts, Sun Zhengming's fleet could reach a new level of strength.

Sun Zhengming was deeply moved by what he witnessed.

With the help of the King APP simulator, Yang Xia continued to experiment and modify the existing ships.

Sun Zhengming was filled with doubts, unsure of how Yang Xia intended to modify the ships, but at the same time, he was also filled with anticipation and curiosity about what these ships would ultimately look like under Yang Xia's modifications.

Sun Zhengming silently murmured to himself, "Your Majesty...we are deeply moved to see you go to such lengths."

"A thousand words welled up in my heart, yet I didn't know where to begin."

"I never expected that you would treat the Chinese fleet with such sincerity."

"China is truly honored to have an ally like you, and I am genuinely happy for China."

Through tireless efforts, Yang Xia finally discovered a new type of composite armor technology.

Once this technology is applied to ships, it can double the original ship's defensive capabilities in a very short time.

Yang Xia was thrilled to discover this new composite technology.

He said with a face full of joy, "That's great... I believe that with this new composite armor technology, I will definitely be able to carry out large-scale modifications to these ships. At that time, the Chinese fleet will be even more powerful, and I will be able to fulfill my promise to Sun Zhengming."

Yang Xia didn't dare to delay for a moment. Based on this new composite armor technology, he immediately began synthesis and obtained specific data.

Seeing these specific data presented before him, Yang Xia was extremely excited.

Since agreeing to modify the ship for Sun Zhengming, Yang Xia has worked tirelessly day and night, with very little time to rest, never shirking his duties.

Sun Zhengming witnessed all of this. Concerned about Yang Xia's health, he stepped forward to advise him to balance work and rest.

"Your Majesty... I know you want to help our Chinese fleet modify its ships, but you don't need to go to such lengths."

"I'm really worried about your health because you're working so hard. I feel terrible if this makes you work so hard."

“We have all felt your good intentions. I hope you can complete this task while taking care of your health, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

Upon hearing Sun Zhengming's words, Yang Xia naturally understood his intention.

He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry... I know what I'm doing, and what you're worried about won't happen."

"Moreover, I must personally handle the ship modification to ensure my peace of mind."

"Don't worry about me, just wait for the results."

Seeing Yang Xia's resolute attitude, Sun Zhengming knew that further persuasion would be futile, so he had no choice but to acquiesce to Yang Xia's actions.

Looking at the detailed data before him, Yang Xia said excitedly, "With this data, we can now hand it over to the craftsmen for production."

"I believe that we will soon see a completely new fleet."

After Yang Xia handed over the production task to the craftsmen, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Huaxia fleet was about to set sail.

Meanwhile, the craftsmen were nearing completion of upgrading the ship's outer armor.

When Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming saw the fleet in front of them, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The composite nails on the outside are particularly eye-catching and look very cool.

The crew and merchants of the Huaxia fleet were amazed and full of praise when they saw the fleet at this time.

Sun Zhengming looked at Yang Xia with gratitude and said, "Your Majesty... thank you so much this time. Seeing our fleet so powerful now, it's all thanks to you."

"We don't know how to express our gratitude, but the Chinese nation will always remember the contributions made by the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Moreover, my crew and merchants are all completely in awe of Your Majesty and have been praising Your Majesty's wisdom."

Yang Xia remained calm upon hearing the praise from Sun Zhengming, the crew, and the merchants.

He waved his hand at Sun Zhengming and said, "It's okay, I just did what I should do, it was nothing."

"If this can really help you, I will be very happy. I just hope you can reach China safely. Be careful and cautious along the way, and don't be careless."

Just as Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming were saying their goodbyes and preparing to part ways, they were surprised to find a large number of ships emerging on the sea not far away.

What intrigued them was that these ships were not flying any flags, making it difficult for Sun Zhengming to determine which faction they belonged to.

Sun Zhengming, filled with doubt, turned to Yang Xia and asked, "Your Majesty... what exactly are those ships that appeared on the sea?"

"They weren't flying any flags, so I really couldn't tell at first glance."

"But judging from their imposing presence, they are blocking the only way for our Chinese fleet to leave, and it seems that they are up to no good."

"It seems I need to be extra careful from now on. Your Majesty was indeed right. These people have been eyeing us covetously all along; they're like a persistent ghost."

"It seems that the friendly exchanges between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Huaxia Kingdom have made these invaders restless, which is why they have taken such actions time and time again."

Yang Xia listened and nodded in agreement.

He looked around and, though he saw no flags, his keen observation allowed him to immediately recognize the style of the ships, which most likely came from the Red Cake Country.

Yang Xia curled his lips into a cold smile and winked at Sun Zhengming.

“Lord Sun… if I’m not mistaken, these ships should have been sent by the Red Cake Kingdom, and their purpose is obvious.”

"Although no flags were flown, this type of ship is unique to the Red Cake Country."

"From now on, it's all up to you. I'm quite interested in the outcome."

As he spoke, Yang Xia smiled slightly, and Sun Zhengming understood immediately. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at the powerful fleet behind him, equipped with the composite armor upgraded by Yang Xia, Sun Zhengming said confidently, "Your Majesty, rest assured... With such powerful composite armor, I'd like to test its power."

"I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. Since the traitors of the Red Cake Kingdom are still not giving up, let them taste the power of the modified composite armor."

"We are all looking forward to this result and believe that good news will surely come."

"The Red Cake Country has resorted to its old tricks again. Although they came prepared this time, our Chinese fleet did not take them seriously."

"With the support of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dealing with them is a piece of cake. This time, we will make sure they suffer a crushing defeat."

After hearing this, Yang Xia was very satisfied with Sun Zhengming's statement, and at the same time, he was full of curiosity and anticipation.

He wanted to know what kind of sparks would fly when the forces of the Red Cake Kingdom encountered his upgraded composite armor.

Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming bid each other a reluctant farewell, and the members of the Huaxia Fleet also boarded the ship with great reluctance.

Amidst Yang Xia's repeated admonitions and the cheers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the fleet slowly set sail.

At the same time, after watching the Huaxia fleet depart, Yang Xia turned to Meng Yin beside him and said, "Meng Yin... now that the Huaxia fleet is about to set sail, you take the Imperial Guards and follow the fleet to protect them."

"To prevent any accidents, we must ensure their safe departure from this area; there is no room for error."

Meng Yin accepted the order, nodded slightly, and quickly led the Imperial Guards away.

However, to Yang Xia and Meng Yin's surprise, after Sun Zhengming boarded the ship, he increased the speed to the maximum and rushed directly towards the nameless fleet.

This move greatly surprised Yang Xia and Meng Yin; they never expected Sun Zhengming to be so decisive.

Sun Zhengming's fleet rammed one of the large ships, nearly capsizing it; the ship was severely leaking. (End of Chapter)
