The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Yang Xia stopped, turned around to look at Sun Zhengming, and a calm smile appeared on his face:

"Lord Sun, do you think our mission this time is merely to capture the Nebula Kingdom's fleet and seize their supplies?"

Sun Zhengming paused for a moment, then said:

"Isn't that right? As long as we capture the supplies, the mission is complete."

Yang Xia shook his head and said:
“Of course there’s more to it than that.

The fact that the Nebula Kingdom secretly transported weapons this time was clearly ill-intentioned; they might have wanted to send these weapons to the border of the Yan Kingdom to support those rebels.

If we take down their fleet at sea, they can easily claim that it was our Yan Kingdom's fleet that provoked and intercepted their merchant ships. At that time, many people in the international community will definitely question us.

But it would be different if we took action at the hidden dock—that dock was provided by John and was nominally a secret base of the Nebula Nation. If we seized their weapons there, it would be like having a handle on them, and even if they wanted to deny it, they would have no evidence.

At that point, they'll have no choice but to suffer in silence, afraid to make a fuss, and even less likely to retaliate against our Yan Kingdom.

Sun Zhengming suddenly realized, patted his head, and said:
"I see! I was only thinking about completing the task as soon as possible, but I didn't think about all this."

"Mr. Yang Xia, you've considered things very thoroughly. If we followed my idea, it might even cause trouble for our Yan Kingdom."

Yang Xia smiled and said:

"This is all as it should be. When we do things, we can't just look at the present; we also have to consider the long-term impact."

Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry and meet up with Ni Qing and the others, so we don't delay our business.

After saying that, the two boarded the speedboat and sped off toward the hidden dock.

The speedboat left trails of white foam on the sea before quickly disappearing into the distance.

On the deck, Meng Yin was directing the crew to move the last batch of weapons.

Looking at the neatly stacked weapons in the cabin, a determined look appeared on his face.

He walked to the bow of the boat, gazing in the direction Yang Xia and the others had left, and silently vowed in his heart:

We must complete the mission and never let Mr. Yang Xia down. We must also let the Xingyun Kingdom know that the Yan Kingdom's waters are not places they can come and go as they please!
"Boss, all the weapons have been unloaded, and the engine has been checked. We're ready to go at any time!"

The lieutenant walked up to Meng Yin and said respectfully.

Meng Yin nodded, then turned and shouted to the crew:
"Brothers, get back to your posts. Let's set off now, circle around to the rear of the Nebula Kingdom's fleet, and block their retreat! This time, we must ensure they don't return!"

"it is good!"

The crew responded in unison, their voices loud and clear, full of fighting spirit.

Mengyin's fleet slowly turned its bows and headed in the predetermined direction.

The waves crashed against the hull of the boat, as if cheering them on.

Mengyin stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze fixed firmly ahead. He knew that a fierce battle was about to begin, and they would be the most crucial link in this battle.

Meanwhile, on the sea near the hidden dock, Ni Qing and Su Qin were leading their team to check the equipment they had laid in ambush.

On the dock, a dozen team members in camouflage uniforms were lying prone behind containers, their rifles aimed at the dock entrance; on the sea, several boats disguised as fishing vessels were quietly moored, and the team members on board were checking the fuses of the mines to ensure they could be detonated smoothly at the critical moment; in the woods next to the dock, several snipers had taken up advantageous positions, their guns pointed at every corner of the dock, ready to fire immediately if a target appeared.

"Sister Ni Qing, everything is ready. The mines have been laid and the snipers are in place. We're just waiting for the Nebula Kingdom's fleet to arrive."

Su Qin walked to Ni Qing's side and said in a low voice.

Ni Qing nodded, glanced around the dock, and said:

"Check it again to make sure nothing is missed."

The Nebula Kingdom's fleet carried a considerable amount of weaponry this time, and their crew members are certainly armed as well. We cannot be careless; we must ensure absolute safety.

"Don't worry, Sister Ni Qing, it's been checked three times already, there's no problem."

Su Qin said, "By the way, when will Mr. Yang Xia and Lord Sun Zhengming arrive? Should we wait for them to arrive before we make our move?"

Ni Qing glanced at his watch and said:

"They should be here soon. They just messaged me saying they're on their way and should arrive in about half an hour."

Let's prepare first, then confirm the final plan after they arrive, and then we can wait for the Nebula Kingdom's fleet to walk right into our trap.

Su Qin nodded and turned to instruct his team members to check their equipment again.

Ni Qing walked to the dock and looked at the distant sea, feeling a sense of anticipation. This mission would not only allow them to seize the weapons of the Nebula Kingdom, but also deliver a heavy blow to them, making them dare not easily provoke the sovereignty of the Yan Kingdom again. Just thinking about it was exciting.

Not long after, two speedboats appeared on the distant sea.

Ni Qing's eyes lit up, knowing that Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming had arrived.

She quickly called out to her teammates:
"Mr. Yang Xia and his group have arrived. Prepare to welcome them!"

Soon, the speedboat approached the dock, and Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming jumped off.

Ni Qing and Su Qin quickly stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Yang Xia, Lord Sun, you've finally arrived."

Yang Xia nodded and said:
"How's the situation? Is everything ready?"

Ni Qing quickly said:

"Everything is ready. Mines, snipers, and ambush team members are all in place, just waiting for the Nebula Kingdom's fleet to arrive."

Yang Xia nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Okay, let's go check the ambush situation now and make sure there are no problems with every step."

"Lord Sun, you and Su Qin go and check the mine deployment. Ni Qing and I will go check the sniper positions."

"it is good!"

Sun Zhengming and Su Qin agreed and each led their men to conduct the inspection.

Yang Xia and Ni Qing walked into the woods. Along the way, Yang Xia carefully inquired about the details of the ambush, and Ni Qing answered one by one, ensuring that every step was explained clearly.

Reaching the sniper's position, Yang Xia picked up his binoculars, looked towards the entrance of the dock, and said with satisfaction:
"This location is excellent, with a wide field of vision that covers the entire dock entrance. As soon as the Nebula Kingdom's fleet docks, we can immediately lock onto the target."

The sniper quickly said:
"Mr. Yang, rest assured, we have already adjusted the guns and guarantee that they can accurately hit the target."

Yang Xia nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Stay vigilant and notify us immediately if you spot any ships from the Nebula Kingdom."

After saying that, the two turned and walked towards the dock.

At this moment, Sun Zhengming and Su Qin also finished inspecting the mine deployment and came over.

Sun Zhengming said:
“Mr. Yang Xia, the mines have been laid and the fuses have been tested. As soon as the Nebula Kingdom’s fleet enters the passage, we can detonate the mines immediately and block their retreat.”

Yang Xia nodded and said:
"Alright, now all the preparations are complete, let's wait here for the Nebula Kingdom's fleet to arrive."

"Ni Qing, have someone keep an eye on the sea. Report immediately if they spot any signs of them."

"Yes!"

Ni Qing agreed and immediately arranged for his team to go to the watchtower to keep an eye on the sea.

The group waited in silence. The area around the dock was quiet, save for the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Tension and anticipation etched on everyone's faces; they all knew that the battle to come would determine the success or failure of this mission.

Meanwhile, the Nebula Kingdom's fleet was still speeding towards the hidden dock.

The person in charge stood on the deck, watching the coastline getting closer and closer, a smug smile on his face.

He said to his adjutant beside him:
"We'll be at the dock soon. Once we unload the supplies, our mission will be complete."

"We'll definitely get a generous reward from above, and maybe even a promotion and a raise!"

The adjutant said with a smile:

"Yes, sir, we've done a great job this time."

We definitely need to celebrate properly when we get back.

The person in charge burst into laughter, completely unaware that a huge net was already waiting for them at the hidden dock ahead.

This was something they had never even considered, but Yang Xia had already made a plan.

Sun Zhengming stared at the dense markings on the nautical chart, and recalled Yang Xia's analysis of the situation. He felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart—not from fear, but from shock.

He used to think he was quite experienced, but compared to Yang Xia, he realized that he had been thinking too superficially.

He slapped his thigh and burst into laughter, the sound echoing across the deck and drawing the attention of the surrounding crew members.

"Mr. Yang Xia! Your move was truly brilliant!"

Sun Zhengming strode over to Yang Xia, his voice full of admiration, "Don't even mention that the people from Xingyun Kingdom didn't see through the trick, even I, who am by your side every day, couldn't figure out your intentions! This trap is so tight, even if they had three heads and six arms, they wouldn't be able to escape!"

Yang Xia simply smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the distant sea:
"It's too early to talk about these things now. We'll only truly succeed when we intercept the supplies."

He turned to look at Mengyin, "Have the weapons been distributed? How are the brothers doing?"

Meng Yin immediately stepped forward and replied in a deep voice:

"Everything is ready! The heavy machine guns and rocket launchers are already mounted on both sides of the ship. The brothers have checked the equipment and loaded the bullets. We're just waiting for your order!"

Yang Xia nodded and glanced at his wristwatch:
"It's almost time. The Nebula Kingdom's fleet should be arriving at the hidden dock soon."

Mengyin, you lead the fleet to circle around from the left and block their retreat; Lord Sun, you and I approach from the front together, coordinating with Ni Qing and Su Qin on the shore to form an encirclement.

Remember, try to avoid harming innocent people. Our goal is supplies, not killing.

"understand!"

The two responded in unison and turned to arrange manpower.

Soon, the fleet split into two groups. Meng Yin led three ships toward the left sea area, their hulls cutting through the waves and leaving white wakes. Yang Xia, on the other hand, led the other two ships and sped toward the hidden dock.

The sea breeze ruffled Yang Xia's clothes. He stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the coastline ahead—where a fierce battle was about to erupt.

Meanwhile, in the woods hidden by the dock, Ni Qing was lying in the grass, observing the sea through binoculars.

Su Qin, standing beside her, gently adjusted the scope of his sniper rifle and whispered:

"Sister Ni Qing, we can already see the shadow of the Nebula Kingdom's fleet. They should be at the dock in about ten minutes."

Ni Qing nodded and said into the headset:

"Attention all units, target is approaching, prepare for battle! Minesweepers, stand by, detonate immediately when their ships enter the passage!"

"Roger that!"

The responses from each group came through the headset; their voices were calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

Soon, five cargo ships from the Nebula Kingdom slowly appeared on the sea surface. The ships were huge and had a deep draft, clearly loaded with supplies.

On the lead cargo ship, the person in charge stood on the deck, looking smugly at the approaching dock, and said to his adjutant:
"Speed ​​up and unload the supplies quickly so we can get out of this hellhole sooner."

The adjutant quickly relayed the order, and the cargo ship sped up, soon approaching the dock.

Just as the first cargo ship was about to lower its gangplank, Ni Qing suddenly shouted into his headset:

"Mine crew, detonate!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Several loud explosions were heard, and huge waves suddenly surged up on the sea surface at the entrance of the dock. The shock wave from the naval mine explosion threw seawater into the air, forming walls of water.

The cargo ship from Nebula was shaken by the shockwave, and the crew members fell onto the deck, shouting in panic.

"What happened? Where did that explosion come from?"

The person in charge steadied himself and shouted, his face ashen.

Before he could react, gunshots suddenly rang out from the woods on the shore, bullets whizzing by.

The ground was fired at the cargo ship.

Ni Qing led his team members to leap out of the bushes and rush towards the dock, while Su Qin pulled the trigger, shooting the glass of the cargo ship's cockpit. The driver was so frightened that he quickly shrank back.

"Quickly! Pick up your weapons and fight back! Protect the supplies!"

The person in charge finally realized what was happening and shouted at the crew.

The crew members pulled out rifles from the cabins and lay down on the ship's side to fire at the shore, and the two sides instantly engaged in a fierce firefight.

Bullets whizzed through the air, "rat-a-tat-tat!"

The sound of machine guns, "bang bang"

The sound of rifles, "boom"

The sounds of grenade explosions mingled together, and the entire dock was instantly enveloped in smoke.

Ni Qing hid behind a shipping container and shouted into her headset:

"Mr. Yang Xia, we have already engaged in combat with the Nebula Kingdom's fleet. Their firepower is very strong, and we are temporarily unable to approach the dock!"

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon!"

Yang Xia's voice came through the headset, carrying a hint of composure.

Soon, Yang Xia's fleet appeared on the right side of the Nebula Kingdom's cargo ship, and the ship's heavy machine guns immediately opened fire, "rat-a-tat-tat!"

Gunfire was fired toward the cargo ship.

The crew of Nebula Kingdom were attacked from both sides and were soon overwhelmed, and their firepower was noticeably reduced.

The person in charge looked at the fleet that had suddenly appeared on the right, and his face became even more grim:
"Why are there still fleets? Are we surrounded?"

He quickly shouted to his adjutant:

"Quickly, order a retreat! Break through to the left-hand sea area, and make sure to take the supplies out!" (End of Chapter)
