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

That's why Thomas was so confident.

Thomas, with an air of arrogance, led two fleets, armed with their advanced weaponry, into the waters of Yan Kingdom.

They came with great force, and by the time Mengyin discovered them, they were already close to the landing point.

He hurriedly reported the news to Yang Xia.

Thomas, full of aggressive momentum, quickly approached the waters of Yan Kingdom...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened... The people from the Nebula Kingdom are about to intrude into our territorial waters."

"If we allow them to land, the consequences will be unimaginable. Your Majesty, please give the order immediately."

Meng Yin panicked; he hadn't expected the Xingyun Kingdom to act so swiftly.

Thomas didn't take Yang Xia seriously at all, believing that Yan Kingdom was just an island.

With the Nebula Nation's advanced weaponry, they could annihilate it overnight. It was this confidence that fueled Thomas's aggressive demeanor.

"General, should we observe the situation here before landing? It would be terrible if we fell into the Yan Kingdom's trap."

His subordinate reminded him again that Thomas was moving too fast.

The destruction of the Red Cake Kingdom left them all with lingering fears.

Although the Nebula Nation is so arrogant because it possesses advanced weaponry, its subordinates do not have the same confidence as Thomas, and they still have some concerns.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings! What great things can you accomplish with your pathetic state!"

"What I need for this operation is a swift and decisive victory, without any procrastination. Before Yang Xia can react, we must wipe out the Yan Kingdom."

Thomas arrogantly stated his plan, believing that Yan Kingdom was completely incapable of confronting them.

His men were too frightened to say anything more and had no choice but to follow Thomas's instructions and prepare to land immediately.

On the other side, Mengyin was still urgently requesting Yang Xia to send troops to intercept the landing.

"Don't rush, don't launch an attack first. Wait until the people from Nebula Kingdom land before giving them a good beating."

"Since they are unrighteous, don't blame us for being unjust."

Yang Xia planned to let them land, so that they could establish a conclusive fact.

All countries will know that the Nebula Nation was the first to invade. Even if we destroy them, I believe other countries won't say much.

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Meng Yin immediately nodded, agreeing that they made sense.

When two countries are at war, it is essential to clarify the rights and wrongs so that other countries can discern the facts.

"Go and get the soldiers to their positions and ready for battle at any time."

Yang Xia dared not let his guard down. After Su Qi's reminder, he knew that the Xingyun Kingdom's strength was still formidable.

He first deployed his troops, and after establishing a battle line with the enemy, he dealt them a heavy blow.

Thomas landed with great fanfare.

"Now unleash a massacre and leave no survivors."

Upon landing, Thomas made this insane decision. He showed no mercy, killing anyone he saw.

"Ah...ah...help..."

In an instant, a bloody scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The Nebula Kingdom's men used their weapons to attack unarmed civilians.

In an instant, screams filled the air, blood flowed like a river, and the scene was too gruesome to bear.

No one expected Thomas to do something so beastly, showing no sense of morality and acting unpredictably.

If Yang Xia had known this would happen, he certainly wouldn't have let them land so easily, after all, these were all living beings.

Thomas, however, revealed a grotesque smile, believing himself to be the complete victor.

"So, you're nothing special after all. Today, our Xingyun Kingdom will slaughter everyone in the Yan Kingdom."

"No one is allowed to take it from me. I want to kill Yang Xia with my own hands. Only then can I vent my hatred."

Thomas then said those words again, his tone vicious.

Everyone said that Yang Xia was extremely powerful, and even regarded him as a god, which Thomas was naturally very dissatisfied with.

Using this historical stage, he wanted to show the world the power of Nebula Nation and also the power of Thomas.

No wonder Thomas made such a solemn vow to personally kill Yang Xia this time.

Upon landing, Thomas hastily issued orders to massacre civilians, which led to this horrific scene.

More than a dozen civilians on the shore lay dead in pools of blood, their deaths agonizing, their blood flowing like a river.

The people of Nebula Kingdom are almost perverted, and they are extremely ruthless, as can be seen from their methods of killing.

Before them were just some unarmed civilians, yet they had mutilated the corpse beyond recognition.

This was also to show Yang Xia what he was capable of, and to let him see how powerful he was.

Soon, the news reached Yang Xia's ears, making him so regretful that he stomped his feet.

"What?! Thomas actually attacked those civilians?! These beasts!"

Upon hearing the news, Yang Xia couldn't help but curse, "Thomas is simply too monstrous!"

Yang Xia stomped his feet in anger. As a monarch who loved his people like his own children, he naturally couldn't bear to see such a miserable scene and was filled with self-reproach—he had been too trusting of Thomas's sense of morality.

If I hadn't mistakenly believed that Thomas valued martial virtue, those dozen or so innocent lives wouldn't have been tragically taken.

“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so indecisive, and I shouldn’t have believed that Thomas would be ethical.”

"It seems we can no longer harbor any illusions about the Nebula Kingdom. Concentrate our firepower and give them a fierce counterattack."

Yang Xia was thoroughly enraged and immediately ordered Meng Yu and Meng Yin to cooperate in a fierce offensive against Xingyun Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, we have been itching to kill Thomas ourselves."

Meng Yu was equally indignant; they both abhorred such behavior.

I thought the Red Cake Kingdom was already despicable and shameless enough, but I didn't expect the Nebula Kingdom to be even worse.

Since that was the case, Yang Xia naturally wouldn't hold back and ordered a fierce attack. With the power of their tower defense cannons, they shouldn't have taken these people seriously.

Unfortunately, after the enemy landed, they were already in a near-shore combat situation, and the tower defense cannons were not effective for the time being, so they could only point their cannons at the Nebula Kingdom's mainland.

They are waiting for an opportunity to launch a full-scale war against the Nebula Kingdom.

However, the Nebula Kingdom has a vast territory, unlike the Red Cake Kingdom, which is just a tiny island and could be destroyed in an instant.

Every step must be taken with extreme caution.

The current situation is so dire that any move could have far-reaching consequences, so Yang Xia has no choice but to act with extreme caution.

Thus, the two countries officially began their war, with neither side willing to yield and both determined to annihilate the other.

The war between two powerful nations naturally captivated the hearts of countless people.

Yang Xia started a live broadcast again, hoping to let netizens witness this historic moment.

Even if it means fighting to the death today, he wants the world to understand the truth, and that is the meaning behind his insistence on live streaming.

[Look! The Nebula Kingdom has actually provoked the Yan Kingdom! How will this battle unfold?]

The Nebula Kingdom is extremely despicable; not only did they attack the Yan Kingdom, but they also massacred innocent civilians.

……

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also furious. Standing on the side of justice, they naturally wanted to condemn the Nebula Kingdom.

Thomas doesn't care about any of this; if he did, he wouldn't have done something so outrageous.

The objective is very clear: to destroy the Yan Kingdom, even if it incurs public wrath.

"Yang Xia, you're about to die and you still don't realize it. You'd better surrender now!"

Thomas roared triumphantly, completely disregarding his own ugly face. "Give him a good beating!"

Yang Xia also ordered his men to launch a full-scale attack.

However, he once again underestimated the technological strength of the Nebula Nation; their weaponry was far too advanced.

Thomas' arrogance stemmed from his superior equipment.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and we are unable to suppress it in time."

Meng Yin anxiously approached Yang Xia, repeatedly reminding him, knowing full well that the current situation was extremely dire.

Yang Xia frowned, naturally noticing this as well.

The Nebula Kingdom is indeed much more powerful than the Red Cake Kingdom, mainly because their weapons are superior and their technology is advanced, which has led to the current situation.

Even with the system's support, it would be difficult to accumulate enough points to exchange for those new weapons in a short time.

"Damn it!"

Yang Xia cursed viciously; this was the last thing he wanted to see.

He desperately wanted to exchange all the new weapons from the store in order to counter the technological advantage of the Nebula Kingdom, but there was simply no time for that during the battle between the two armies.

As a result, the Nebula Kingdom, which had come from afar, ended up suppressing the Yan Kingdom.

No wonder even the usually calm Yang Xia couldn't help but curse, turning the tide of the battle was no easy task.

"It seems that Sun Zhengming was absolutely right. We must not underestimate our enemy under any circumstances."

Yang Xia recalled Sun Zhengming's repeated admonitions and regretted that he hadn't taken them to heart at the time.

If we had taken it seriously at the time, we would have been better prepared, and the situation wouldn't have been so passive.

It's too late to say anything now; Yang Xia can only calm down and try his best to change the current situation.

He would not easily yield, especially since the Nebula Kingdom was an invader, so he could not let them go.

Yang Xia firmly believes that good will prevail over evil, and that the current unfavorable situation is only temporary.

"what……"

Because it was a near-shore operation, their tower defense cannons were temporarily unable to play a role.

Thomas's weapon was so advanced that it wounded Meng Yu.

A great general like Meng Yu was naturally extremely skilled in martial arts, yet he still met such an end.

The difference between the two sides lies in their weapons and equipment.

"What? General Meng Yu is injured?"

The ministers were shocked when they learned of this news.

They all felt that the current situation was too dire, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The battle with the Red Cake Kingdom went exceptionally smoothly, but the Nebula Kingdom before them was a thorny problem.

"My brother is injured, I'm going to fight Thomas to the death!"

"I will make everyone in the Nebula Kingdom pay the price!"

Upon hearing that his elder brother was injured, Mengyin was unable to contain his excitement and felt even more hatred for the Xingyun Kingdom.

He launched a frenzied attack on the enemy, but to no avail, he was still unable to change the course of the battle.

The current situation is extremely tense, leaving Yan Kingdom feeling somewhat breathless.

The enemy's firepower was too fierce, and they launched attacks continuously.

As he was about to give up, cold sweat broke out on Yang Xia's palms. He had never encountered such a situation before.

Their own tower defense cannons were incredibly powerful, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to attack them, which is why they didn't take the arrogant Nebula Kingdom seriously, but this resulted in such a situation.

Just then, Thomas shouted loudly in their direction, and the fighting temporarily stopped.

"Yang Xia, can't you see the situation clearly? Do you have to wait until we wipe you all out before you give up?"

"Human life is only once. No matter how powerful you are, everything will vanish after death."

This despicable fellow actually gave Yang Xia a lecture on ideology, implying that he wanted to persuade Yang Xia to surrender.

Sure enough, Thomas then directly advised Yang Xia to lay down his weapon.

"Yang Xia, I'm willing to give you a chance. As long as you submit to the Xingyun Kingdom and hand over the advanced weapons in your hands, we will bestow upon you the title of Prince and allow you to continue to enjoy wealth and honor."

The other side actually offered such a tempting offer, trying to persuade Yang Xia to surrender.

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, so just give up on that idea."

Yang Xia couldn't help but curse angrily; he would never surrender.

However, the current battle situation was indeed very tense, and it was difficult to turn the tide in the short term, which made him feel frustrated.

"Our Nebula Nation's strength has been fully demonstrated, and we hope you can recognize the situation."

"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Now that you have this opportunity, you must seize it."

Thomas, confident of victory, began to take turns persuading Yang Xia to surrender.

“Once the Yan Kingdom surrenders, our Xingyun Kingdom can send troops to garrison this place.”

"In other words, this place will soon become a military base and will also protect the security of Yan Kingdom."

Thomas actually uttered such a delusional statement, as if the entire Yan Kingdom was already his for the taking.

Seeing their confident faces, Yang Xia was speechless. He never expected there to be such shameless people in the world. They were clearly intruders, yet they spoke of themselves in such a righteous manner.

Yang Xia simply sneered, not responding to the other party's words; he didn't even know how to respond.

Upon learning of this, the ministers of Yan Kingdom immediately erupted into a heated argument.

"I think we should surrender quickly. Only by surrendering to the Nebula Kingdom can we profit."

"It's clear that we're no match for them; we're far inferior in terms of weaponry and equipment."

"We'd rather die than be slaves of a conquered nation. How can you hold such a view? It's utterly absurd."

The ministers were arguing amongst themselves, each convinced that they were right.

They quickly split into two camps: the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction.

Both sides have clear viewpoints and want to persuade the other.

"We should surrender quickly. If the Nebula Kingdom launches a nuclear warhead, the Yan Kingdom may be reduced to ashes."

"Those who understand the times are wise; that is indeed true. If this stalemate continues, the Yan Kingdom will be in danger."

Those who advocated peace were all obsequious and servile, fearing the destruction of their country, and advocated seeking peace.

"Your integrity is only revealed in times of crisis. Are you really so willing to be slaves of a conquered nation?"

Those who advocated for war declared that they were of unyielding integrity and unafraid of death, believing that dying on the battlefield was far better than surrendering.

The two sides argued endlessly, neither willing to back down.

Faced with this situation, Yang Xia had very mixed feelings, as both sides had some merit.

Guns have no eyes; if the Nebula Kingdom is angered, the consequences will be extremely severe. If I am not confident in suppressing the Nebula Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom may very well be destroyed.

Now it's a contest of technology, and Nebula Nation has a clear advantage in weaponry.

This forced Yang Xia to have some concerns; he had to consider the entire Yan Kingdom and could not act impulsively.

Yang Xia had never been so hesitant before; he had always been a decisive person.

"Generals, please share your thoughts. Should we surrender now?"

Yang Xia couldn't help but seek the opinions of Meng Yu and Meng Yin beside him, finding it difficult to make a decision for the moment. (End of Chapter)
