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

The current situation is quite dire, and I fear that if I make the wrong decision, it will bring a devastating blow to the Yan Kingdom, and I may become a traitor to the nation.

Yang Xia naturally did not want to surrender.

However, the fact that so many people advocated for peace talks made Yang Xia somewhat skeptical.

"We must never surrender, and we vow never to be slaves of a conquered nation. This national integrity must never be lost."

"That's right, we will never surrender. Even if we shed our last drop of blood, we will fight the Nebula Kingdom to the very end."

These two generals were of unwavering integrity and had no hesitation in their hearts; they would never advocate surrendering to the Nebula Kingdom.

"I think so too, so why are so many people advocating surrender?"

Yang Xia shook his head helplessly, wondering where things had gone wrong that led them to have such a strange idea.

"Perhaps those people have already been bribed. Your Majesty must not let them sway your thoughts."

At the crucial moment, Meng Yu revealed the secret, and Yang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

At this point, Yang Xia was completely convinced of his beliefs and determined to fight the Nebula Kingdom to the bitter end.

He still cannot act rashly; he must protect the entire Yan Kingdom from invasion.

Yang Xia immediately called Sun Zhengming.

At this critical juncture, perhaps only Sun Zhengming can point him in the right direction.

"Brother Sun, we have officially started a war with the Nebula Kingdom. The situation is not optimistic at the moment. Their weapons are simply too sophisticated."

Yang Xia quickly informed Sun Zhengming of the current situation, which was also a source of great distress for him.

Sun Zhengming had repeatedly reminded him of this, but this crisis still occurred, making Yang Xia feel somewhat ashamed.

Ultimately, it was because they underestimated their opponent and failed to make an accurate judgment that they ended up in this awkward situation.

“Yang Xia, there is no need to worry. Our Yan Kingdom has grasped the situation in Yan Kingdom and has also sent reinforcements. I am in the reinforcement team.”

After hearing Yang Xia's words, Sun Zhengming did not blame him at all, knowing that he had done his best.

The Nebula Nation is indeed exceptionally powerful; their advanced weaponry is awe-inspiring.

No country can gain an advantage in a war with them. The only thing we can do now is to unite and work together to eliminate the enemy.

"That's great, thank you."

Hearing Sun Zhengming's words, Yang Xia felt a warmth in his heart and was filled with gratitude towards Yan Kingdom.

Sun Zhengming was indeed a reliable older brother; he didn't blame me, only comforted me.

Yang Xia didn't know how to express his excitement, so he could only thank him repeatedly.

"Yang Xia, there's no need for words of thanks; that would make us seem too formal."

"We should be able to reach Yan Kingdom by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. I hope you can formulate a corresponding battle plan as soon as possible to coordinate an attack from within and without."

Sun Zhengming quickly arranged the next combat mission, each step of which was crucial and required close cooperation between them.

Only in this way can the two advanced fleets of the Nebula Kingdom be destroyed.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After listening to Sun Zhengming's words, Yang Xia was instantly revitalized.

He believed the upcoming battle would be exceptionally exciting, and with support from both sides, the Nebula Kingdom was doomed.

"Let them be smug for a while, then we'll catch them like turtles in a jar."

Yang Xia smiled mysteriously at Meng Yu and Meng Yin, his confidence soaring once again.

He had long been convinced that he could defeat the Nebula Kingdom, and now that Sun Zhengming had reinforcements, he felt even more confident.

Seeing Yang Xia's performance, Meng Yin and Meng Yu nodded in relief, knowing that the real show was about to begin.

A large net has been laid out; it's just a matter of carefully pulling it in.

This will surely make Nebula Kingdom suffer a terrible fate; their good days are finally over.

The two brothers, Mengyin and Mengyu, were overjoyed to see this situation.

Based on their understanding of Yang Xia, they were confident they could ensure his demise.

Sun Zhengming is on his way. Both sides have reached an agreement and will naturally cooperate well next.

Yang Xia then began to ponder deeply, realizing that this strategic plan needed to be carefully crafted.

It will directly affect the course of the entire battle, and there can be no mistakes.

However, Yang Xia was quite confident in his own abilities and believed that he would be able to formulate a perfect strategic plan.

Meanwhile, General Thomas of the Nebula Kingdom was speaking with high-ranking leaders.

The entire Nebula Kingdom attached great importance to this battle, especially the high-level leaders, who wished they could destroy the Yan Kingdom immediately.

"Thomas, I hope you will do your utmost to take down Yan Kingdom. This battle plays a crucial role for us."

"To tell you the truth, only by successfully taking over Yan Kingdom and using it as a temporary base for transit can we then launch an attack on Yan Kingdom."

The senior leader revealed a deeper purpose.

It seems that the leaders of the Nebula Kingdom are also plotting to not only eliminate the Yan Kingdom, but also its ally, the Yan Kingdom.

These two have always been closely related; eliminating only one is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

In other words, even if the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, the Yan Kingdom will not stand idly by.

Since that's the case, let's take both into account.

The Nebula Kingdom, ambitious and cunning, devised such a vicious plan to include the Yan Kingdom in its schemes.

"Rest assured, sir. Under our fierce offensive, the people of Yan cannot withstand it and will soon surrender."

"That Yang Xia is nothing special. You don't need to worry. We'll see soon enough."

Thomas's tone was full of disdain, showing that he didn't take Yang Xia seriously at all.

Their weapons were indeed advanced enough to completely suppress the enemy, which is why Thomas was so confident.

"That's good. Don't let your guard down. We must win this battle."

After listening to Thomas's words, the senior leaders nodded in satisfaction and looked forward to an immediate result.

"Sir, I guarantee we will win this battle, and we will finish it quickly."

Thomas confidently assured everyone that victory was in sight and everything was under control.

"General, General, that Yang Xia wants to see you..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his subordinate excitedly reported this "good news," which immediately thrilled Thomas.

"I knew they wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and would surrender. Let him wait there."

Thomas got a little carried away and wanted to give Yang Xia a hard time.

Everyone says Yang Xia is incredibly capable, but Thomas wants to see just how good he really is.

Judging from the current situation, the other side is no match for them at all and has been completely suppressed. It seems that they have no choice but to surrender.

"Our general tells you to wait patiently, so just stay here and wait."

"Once General Thomas has finished his business, he will naturally let you in."

His subordinates also looked arrogant, believing that their Nebula Kingdom had the upper hand and that victory in this battle was inevitable.

Yang Xia chuckled inwardly at their smug expressions, wondering where their confidence in winning this battle came from.

Their Yan Kingdom is not to be trifled with either; now it's time for a decisive battle. "Alright then, I'll wait."

Yang Xia knew, of course, that the other party was trying to intimidate him, but he remained calm and composed, and sat down unhurriedly.

Thomas wanted to embarrass Yang Xia, thereby suppressing his morale and completely defeating him psychologically.

But after secretly sending someone to check, they found that Yang Xia was still so calm and composed, which infuriated Thomas.

"That damned Yang Xia, he's about to die and he's still putting on an act for me."

Thomas couldn't help but grumble and curse, determined not to let Yang Xia in.

A full forty minutes had passed, and Thomas himself was starting to get a little impatient before he finally decided to meet Yang Xia.

"Someone, let that Yang Xia in."

Thomas called out to his subordinates, then sat up straight in his seat.

The moment the two met, a tense standoff ensued.

Thomas, in particular, had eyes blazing with hatred, wishing he could kill Yang Xia immediately.

Considering the bigger picture, the only decision they could make was to have Yang Xia surrender, so that they could resolve the issue once and for all.

"Yang Xia, you've finally come to your senses, haven't you? Surrender is your only way out."

Thomas looked at him with disdain, holding his head high the whole time, adopting a condescending attitude.

Yang Xia was furious; these people had gone too far.

As intruders, to appear before us with such arrogance—they are far too confident.

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, Yang Xia decided to suppress his anger.

All of this was to lay the groundwork for the next plan.

"I have come here to discuss cooperation, but I have an additional condition."

Yang Xia's mentality was indeed exceptionally good; he was able to maintain a smile even in this situation.

He said he had an additional condition, which made Thomas look displeased.

"What additional conditions?"

Despite his displeasure, Thomas still made Yang Xia state his demands.

The reason Thomas didn't kill Yan Guo was because his mission was to recruit Yang Xia into his ranks.

Only then did he patiently talk to Yang Xia, trying to understand his true intentions.

He only cared about completing the tasks assigned by his superiors; nothing else mattered to him.

"I can agree to your conditions, and submitting to the Nebula Kingdom is not out of the question, but I need to see your sincerity first."

Yang Xia began to play coy. He knew this wouldn't be easy, and the other party might not agree. He was only making this request to buy time.

"Stop talking nonsense and just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."

Thomas was growing impatient. He knew Yang Xia was an extremely intelligent and meticulous man, and that one could easily fall into his trap if he wasn't careful.

"We are asking your Nebula Nation to sign a technology-sharing agreement."

Yang Xia finally revealed his thoughts: he wanted the Nebula Kingdom to share their advanced technology.

It must be said that Yang Xia's plan was quite brilliant. No matter what choice Xingyun Kingdom made, it would only benefit him.

If the other party agrees, it would be a good opportunity to share their advanced technology, allowing Yan Kingdom to achieve leapfrog development as well.

Even if he didn't agree, Yang Xia would try to stall for time and wait for Sun Zhengming and himself to take action.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by technology sharing?"

Thomas never dreamed that Yang Xia would make such an unreasonable request.

Technology is the primary productive force. The reason why the Nebula Kingdom is so powerful is precisely because of these advanced technologies, so why would it easily share them?

"That means our Yan country can hand over all its advanced weapons and technologies."

"Similarly, your Nebula Kingdom must also share its advanced technology without reservation. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to agree to cooperation."

As if afraid Thomas wouldn't understand, Yang Xia gave a detailed explanation, which almost made Thomas furious.

He understood, of course, that Yang Xia signed such an agreement in an attempt to steal the advanced technology of the Nebula Kingdom, which was something he could not agree to under any circumstances.

The other party's tone was far too arrogant. Although the higher-ups were eager to recruit Yang Xia, Thomas didn't take him seriously at all.

This unreasonable demand naturally made Thomas agitated.

"You're nothing but a defeated general, yet you dare to make such a request? You're overestimating yourself."

Thomas immediately rebuked him. Yang Xia, however, watched him with a smile, remaining calm throughout.

"Yang Xia, who gave you the audacity to make such a shameless request?"

Thomas was furious and pointed at Yang Xia's nose, even wanting to tear off the mask of civility and beat him up.

"Don't rush to refuse. I'll give you three days to think it over. I'm sure you'll agree."

"Moreover, your Nebula Kingdom might not necessarily suffer a loss in this matter. Our Yan Kingdom will also contribute its advanced weapons without reservation."

Yang Xia retorted forcefully, gave them a three-day deadline, and then turned and left.

"That damned guy dared to negotiate with us and make such a shameless demand!"

Watching Yang Xia's departing figure, Thomas angrily smashed the cup in his hand.

"General, since this guy is so arrogant, why not just kill him?"

Seeing Thomas's furious state, his subordinates couldn't help but fan the flames.

"Do you think I didn't want to chop him up? If my superiors hadn't insisted on sparing his life, I wouldn't have wasted so much breath on him."

Thomas remained furious, still resentful of Yang Xia's actions.

However, since Yang Xia had already proposed a three-day agreement, he could only report this to his superiors in this way.

Thomas just couldn't understand his superiors' intentions; they were being far too lenient with Yang Xia.

Given Thomas's temperament, he would have simply cut the Gordian knot and destroyed the Yan Kingdom, thus ending everything.

Unfortunately, he had orders from his superiors, so Thomas didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"Yang Xia is absolutely insane!"

Thomas was unable to calm down and kept cursing and swearing.

After he finished yelling, he quickly called his superior.

The higher-ups were urging us to hurry up with this matter, and had previously called to inquire about the current situation.

Thomas naturally had to report the current situation to his superiors in a timely manner.

"Boss, Yang Xia took the initiative to come to negotiate, but the other party made excessive demands, asking our Nebula Kingdom to sign some kind of technology sharing agreement."

"That guy is a complete freak, a shameless scoundrel. We might as well just kill him."

Thomas, enraged, recounted Yang Xia's demands, while embellishing the story to describe how outrageous Yang Xia's behavior was.

We hope that the higher-ups will immediately issue an order to let him kill to his heart's content.

Thomas was already impatient and wanted to wipe out the Yan Kingdom completely. (End of Chapter)
